i'm really good at not buying kitchen tools I won't use. Maybe the "good" vegetable peeler, but that was just because I found it less comfortable to use and slower than the crappy one.

I bought an oxo slicer that turns out to have been one of their few dud products. Great design, except for the blade assembly, which doesn't work all that well. They've since redesigned it :/

maybe I'm challenged, but I can't find an efficient way to use it

I saw a sous chef on Iron Chef mangle his/her hand with one of those once -- I'll pass.

i think the u-shaped ones are better than the toothbrush looking ones

but they have to be big oblongs like cukes or eggs

finally bought a nice stovetop waffle iron. wanted one for years and finally broke out. got a nordic ware for $40 and it's built like a tank and i expect it to last forever. used it for the first time today and while the batter was a bit of a production (melting butter, whipping egg whites) they sure were a lovely vehicle for loads of maple syrup
