What kitchen utensil would you hate to lose?

I lost my lemon zester around Christmas time and it still hasn't turned up The desire for orange drizzle cake became to great, so I bought another last week :T

Wooden spoon for me, too. It's a spoon, a ladle, a whisk, a blender, a masher, whatever you need at the time!

I have 2 that I couldn't bare to lose

One... very obviously a corkscrew for opening wine

Two... My Kitchen Devil small knives which I use for everything. Thankfully I have 3 the same as I liked the first one so much that I went and bought 2 more just in case I lost one I still have all 3 and they have moved all over the country with me and even been on SC holidays They were bought from a seconds stand at a market and cost me £1 each I think, which was probably quite a lot 20 years ago!!!

A pair of ancient Probus tongs, they don't make them anymore, luckily my best pal gave me hers so I have a spare pair. I hope they last till I join my maker.

No one in our house dares touch them they are guarded every bit as well as the crown jewels.

I'd hate to lose my smallest kitchen devil knife, the one with a blade about 2.5 inches long. It's years old and a bit bent at the tip but very very versatile.

Second is a group entry....the wooden spoons. I'm such a saddo that I bought 2 in Europe for I euro because I especially liked the round bowl shape.

And the horizontal veg peeler, so much faster than the other kind and handy to shave bits of cheese for sarnies too.

Oh, and the corkscrew/ bottle opener......:rotfl:

My Good Grips snap lock can opener. I just can't get on with the basic ones, this is the best one I've ever used. Probably the only thing I would seek out an exact replacement for if I ever broke it.

I tend to use a regular fork or spoon for most things when I'm actually cooking though, I only own a handful of other utensils.

Another vote here for a 15yr old kitchen devil knife..I use it for everything. Second is my old wooden spoon! I also have a set of 3 mixing bowls, they are plastic and have a rubber grip around the bottom..they are my 3 most used items in the kitchen, the smallest is perfect for microwave sponge puds, the medium one ideal for melting things in microwave and a must when making twinks hobnobs and the third is used for mixing (and corn chips when I am watching a movie lol!)

My 9" chef's knife. I use it for pretty much everything... In fact, maybe I need two

bagby

ill second the kitchen devil paring knife and then the kitchen devil serrated edge knife.

Another vote for the small kitchen devil knife :T I've bought and tried other knives since, but this is still the one I'll always use if its clean.
