Mine is the Salad Spinner.
Rinse, soak, drain, spin dry:
Salad
Fresh French fries
Strawberries
Grapes
Mini peppers
baby carrots
Etc
Mines simple: a small desert bowl.
Super easy way to make fancy steam poached eggs - pour a thin layer of water on the bottom of a pot and place small bowls on top (Coat each bowl with oil beforehand). crack an egg into each bowl, turn on heat and place lid on. Cook until white is firm but yoke runny. Serve on bread with avacado or butter
place on top of butter to keep fresh
cookie cutter! (Good for other doughs too)
mini terrarium for micro greens (if bowl is glass)
your own unique measuring unit that no-one else will understand
upside down as a stand for raising other dishes up
1 person baking vessel - bake things in it
scooper
lid for jar
pot for herbs
Great multitasker!
You can also use it upside-down in a larger bowl to let things drain of excess oil or water. The liquid collects under the small bowl.
