Too many to list all of them, but at the top are my

(2) Nordic Ware specialty cake and cakelet pans

(3) Emile Henry red, fluted, heart-shaped, tart pans, which make my pot pies extra-special

Piling on for microplane grater (I use it most often for ginger, nutmeg, and citrus zest) and immersion blender.

I had an aerogarden for years, and really liked it. The pump gave out after three or four years of constant use, and I'd consider getting another one, now that my kid is old enough to enjoy it.

The microplane grater because it works for taking the dry skin off my heels, too.

Hmmm... does this mean I can use my pedi-egg to zest a lemon?

I got one of these as a gift. Since I don't drink coffee, and on the very rare occasion I do it's without milk, I used it for my office gift swap. I'm sure it's nice for latte-lovers, but useless for me.
