what kitchen tool have you owned for a long time, but disliked and never used, but now use all the time?
Here’s mine…i had no idea that I need it so much - it helps unstick the pizza from the pizza rack, I use to crack the eggs before I put them in the pan, slide under stuff to loosen…
In my younger years, I once was gifted a fish spatula, but I didn’t know that’s what the name was. Tried it with eggs, and some other things and hated it. Didn’t realize until i was 20, that it was a FISH spatula, and, after using an inferior spatula for fish for 6 or 7 years, realized dat sht worked great… for fish. Dmbarse.
My Pops gifted me a “Magic Bullet” with quite a few attachments, many years ago and I thought I’d never use it as I already had a blender. Said blender conked out on me eventually so I started using the Bullet and haven’t looked back since.
I recently got a plastic (?) fish spatula to use on the better skillets so I dont’ have to throw out the teflon ones after getting scratched up by metal spatulas a couple of years. I don’t know how I ever did without it. So thin and wonderful for flipping delicate things!
I totally get that, For me it was a silicone spatula. I never thought I’d use it much, but now I can’t cook without it. So handy for scraping and flipping.
welcome to the community!
someone bought me a 4 piece set of these silicone scrappers a while ago, and stuck them in a drawer and never used them. . But I started using the concave shaped one (called a “spoonula”). I don’t use the other pieces but this one in the picture I use all the time
thanks Steve
Silicone spoonulas are great.
I have one of those. I use it a lot.
