I love kitchen gadgets. Some are essential and some just make life a little easier.

Years ago I did a presentation for parents of teens and young adults about setting up a first apartment kitchen. I made a 1st Kitchen Essentials list. 

I really like Oxo and Kuhn Rikon. Look at America’s Test Kitchen for reliable equipment reviews.
