I know that this is not the place to discuss music but couldn't resist this one (from 'The Wasps').

I'm delighted to see that the utensils depicted include the Cheese Plane for me and the Wooden Spoon for Bogey.

Now that I have these two, I can't understand how I could live so many years without them  ...

The pineapple corer/slicer:

The chances of cutting yourself while trying to slice pineapples is considerable so these are brilliant. Mine looks exactly the same yet I got it here in Australia.

And since I don't have a pestle and mortar, a pepper mill is mighty useful, too.

Our last pepper mill died about a year ago. Since then I've been laboriously grinding black pepper with a pestle and mortar: I swear the pepper tastes better

Crazy, man! Might be useful on a camping trip if battery operated but a vomit bag might also be useful.
Clean-up is problematic, easier to wipe a pan or microwave dish.

I might have to change my vote! I just bought this

Good housekeeping picked this as the best multi cooker, and it came in a smaller size. The most popular is the Instant Pot.

I just made my first meal. All in the same pot: I sautéed onion and garlic, then added water and pasta, and tomato sauce, and pressure cooked for 5 minutes -- a tad too long as the rotini was a bit soft. Then I easily washed the ceramic coated nonstick pot. Cooking involved pushing a few buttons. The kitchen did not get hot, nor steamy. Made two meals with some room to spare. I think I am sold.
