Useful tools and gadgets for the kitchen

[marmalady]

I know there have been other topics that addressed this, and I'll try to dig 'em up, but thought we'd start a new topic here - what tools/gadgets/ideas do you have for working in the kitchen?

Any commercial cookware/gadgets that are particularly helpful?

Any handy 'hints' re safety, lifting, moveing, etc?

Kitchen design ideas?

We just bought the Starfrit Rotary Chopper and it makes chopping veggies much easier for me. Also I have a wooden stick with a slotted end to turn the dials on the stove.
