    Everyone needs a stick blender. You'll make the most awesome single-serving smoothie/milkshake ever, with like zero cleanup.

    Its not on the list, but one of my most valued pieces of kitchen equipment is my very well used crock pot. For a working person, its a life saver. Throw in "stuff" before work and when you get home, hot, healthy and DONE.

    Can somebody tell me why I'd want a single induction burner like this when I have a very nice non-induction cooktop already?
    I'm not being snarky, I really want to know why I would need such a thing.

    @Homerjay is utterly alone.: great for cooking smoky/messy things outside instead of stinking up the kitchen... For example, searing a steak in a cast iron skillet at a very high temperature

    I would kill for an induction cooktop and a nice set of pans. My current pans are hand me down pain in the neck ridged Calphalons.Good to know you learned better than a knife sharpener. Last Christmas, I got a nice set of Shun knives. Awesome gift, especially since I love to cook. I would never dream of using a knife sharpener on them.

    Get a stick blender if you don't already have one. As in NOW!

    Stick blenders are the single-most useful thing when making cranberry sauce and gravies. They're cheap, durable, and a huge pain-saver.

    @OMG! Ponies!: To avoid lumpy gravy without resorting to a stick blender, pull out a clean cast iron pan, and start with just oil/butter and flour, no liquids. It is easy to get the flour granules to separate in the oil (and cooking it slightly gets rid of that raw flour taste). You end up with a roux that is easy to make lump free, then when you dump in the stock/drippings, it forms up nicely into a thickened gravy...

    @maven2k: I made my chipotle cranberry sauce last night (to accompany my cajun turkey with jalepeno cornbread stuffing) and just a half minute with the boat motor turned it into the perfect consistency so it is a spicy spreadable jam for putting on bread - with either peanut butter or turkey.

    But to find out how this really does at making tea, we need to turn it over to our tame barista.

    WTF is the point. A kettle is supposed to boil water. Its simple. Put water in kettle, switch on, wait for it to switch off, pour boiled water into beverage vessel of choice. Why do you need variable temperatures and readouts on the handle?

    In reply to Alton Brown: Kitchen Gadget Judgment Calls - Yea or Nay?
    Alton Brown has the best show on Food Network, hands down. I think I've seen at least 90% of Good Eats.

    I also at least check out his recipes on foodnetwork.com when I'm cooking something new. I may go my own way -- but knowing his methods help substantially.

    I also recommend Lynne Rossetto Kasper and her Splendid Table NPR show, and the CIA's Professional Chef textbook for those of you looking to pick up a hobby.

    oh, and heirloom tomatoes. go buy some purple/black heirloom tomatoes right now.
