Ooh, I have this one too. It's $23.99. That's more like it!

Cool topic, I love my kitchen gadgets

My #1 has been my Nutribullet. I've used it for a super fast whizz up of protein shakes and can include small parcels of frozen fruit or vegetable (think frozen spinach, blueberries etc). It whizzes them so finely I get ice cold yumminess and my nutrient hit in one go.

My only recent purchase has been a food dehydrator, I want to make my own jerky and dry apples now that they are on all the trees in my neighborhood. I am going to find the time to do this next week. I really want a Bullet mixer next.

Our dehydrator is the best gadget ever! I make a large batch of jerky once a week, we've saved SO much money on the stuff! Plus I can make it way spicier than you can find in the grocery store :)

I overdid my first batch because I was so worried about not going long enough. How can you tell if it is done? The whole bend it until it cracks thing just isn't specific enough- makes me nervous! Hoping for a more sure-fire method of knowing.

I agree! We finally broke down and bought an Excalibur earlier this summer. What a huge upgrade over the super old Nesco bought for a dollar from an auction. We have made a ridiculous amount of dried apple rings. This is the first year we have been able to make enough to vacuum seal for snacks. Love zucchini chips too! Dried watermelon tastes awesome, but there is something about it that totally messes with my sugar levels- even just two smallish strips. We have made 2 batches of jerky- turned out good enough, and a lot cheaper. I overcooked it though so looking to improve once we are ready to try again.

I do love my IP.

I have the spiralizer from Pampered Chef for making zoodles. It is pricey but I think so much better than the usual ones you see. Smaller footprint and it works with gravity... so much easier to get the veggies in and out. I've owned both types.

I slso recently bought the Pampered Chef Ice cream sandwich maker. It has been a little too dangerous.

I use 2 recipes worth of my low carb chocolate mug cake recipe, put about a tbsp and a half in each well, and bake the wafer part. It's hard to explain, but then I fill with yogurt or yogurt/cool whip mix and freeze. Amazing.

I LOVE zoodles! We don't have that model, but it looks intriguing. We have a white one that works horizontally and my original small one. The bigger one works well, but I can't stand dragging it out to use it. Sometimes I can get the hubby to do it though- especially when we have a lot of garden veggies. I am so afraid to click on your ice cream sandwich maker link. trigger trigger trigger... I really wish I could manage that one though, as I would love to make low fat versions. I know I could never stay out of it though :(

I want to get an air fryer for Christmas, I've heard great things about them!

I really like mine. I am not using it enough to warrant keeping it on a counter, but keep it within easy reach. There are just some things I cannot cook any other way and love the pseudo fried food without all the stomach upset.
