Today's Challenge is about our favorite Kitchen Tools.  Right now, my favorite is the crock pot.  Since I am still so new to home cooked meals, I like the idea of being able to throw ingredients in the crock pot and have a dinner waiting when I get home.

I'm looking forward to learning how to use other kitchen gadgets.  (I was surprised how much I enjoyed zesting the lemon with the microplane this week!)

Your turn:
What are your favorite kitchen gadgets.  Which ones would you grab if you had to leave in a hurry?
