Hand Tools
Kitchen gadgets mostly meant to be used by hand or hands.
Get glass! If you have a plastic one, think about how hard it is to clean. This glass baster separates from the bulb to make both easier to clean. It's dishwasher safe, however I feel like the tube might be easier to hand wash even if it is dishwasher safe. Sti...
Glass Baster
Wonderful tea infuser plus surprisingly useful for coffee as well! I pour my French press coffee through this to catch any coffee grounds that slipped into my brew. This is the larger size, which is good for teapots and larger mugs. Good quality materials, easy to clean in the dishwasher, and so handy I own four so ...
Coffee and Tea Brewing Basket

Jar Grip Pads

So hopefully these can fill the gap when you just want cute, but not two hours of effort for it. YMMV

Small appliances that run on electricity, but not so big that you can't put them away after you're done using them. Instead of thinking of them as sized in relation to a bread box, think of them as lighter than your KitchenAid mixer.
“But I already have a coffee grinder,” you say. Yes, but get a second one. I have this grinder and I can't tell you how many times I wished I had a twin for grinding other things like fresh spices and nuts for recipes. I know myself; I won't clean th...
