Kitchen Quandary

As families grow and time passes, we seem to accumulate more and more stuff. Whether it’s pictures, clothes, or kitchen gadgets, there are always new things which capture our imagination and end-up in a drawer or closet. In the kitchen, however, is probably where most people have the most things they never or rarely use. Despite all the years-worth of dusted nicely settled on some kitchen accessories, they are a few which we consider essential - those kitchen items you would take with you if your house was on fire.

So what are your five essential kitchen gadgets? Most people cite some type of knife as a kitchen must-have, such as a Shun, and a KitchenAid or similar mixer is also popular. Other essentials vary by the type of food they cook and how often they bake.
