Useful utensils to streamline your food prep
These are the best. Lightly brown your meat then jab and twist with one of these gizmos to break it all up into the proper texture for meat sauces, hamburger helper etc. A bit more efficient than a spatula, and the straight fins on this design stick ...
KitchenAid All Purpose Meat Masher - Canadian Tire
Not sure what section to put this in yet, but these are essential for every kitchen. Get the most out of your herbs and spices by grinding your spice mixes!

Red The Crab Silicone Utensil Rest - Kitchen Gifts, Silicone Spoon Rest - Heat-Resistant Kitchen - Steam Releaser, Chopstick Rests & Holders
Got one of these for the BBQ but turns out it's also a great kitchen thermometer. Works well for candy and deep frying. Only down side is no clip to hang into a pot and it has plastic housing, so be careful where you place it.
ThermoPro Digital Instant-Read Food & Meat Thermometer with ...
Having a couple of these around is useful for acidic things that tend to stain your wooden spoons, or if you have to jump between non stick cookware and stirring.
MASTER Chef Silicone Solid Spoon, Assorted - Canadian Tire
I was surprised that a lot of my friends were not aware of the existence of this tool. There's a few brands that make these. They're great to separate the fat off your gravies without making a mess. Also good, if you have a soup stock that has become...
OXO Good Grips Fat Separator, 4-cup | Canadian Tire
One of the better peelers I have owned. Good hand-feel and blade doesn't pop out easily like some others do.
OXO Softworks Swivel Peeler
I love this kind of knife block since you can move it all around the kitchen, it isn't as bulky as the usual countertop ones. You also have all your knives safely on display so you can see them, if you're a collector or to impress your guests.

Make pretty much anything into a slushie with one of these babies. Your new summer best-friend awaits!
Ninja Slushi Professional Drink Maker with RapidChill Technology
Great for making chaffles! These are not the highest quality but they are well worth their price point. Handful of cheese and one beaten egg and some herbs and you have yourself a gluten-free bun! Just one of many uses for these. I have three of them...
Dash Heart Compact Mini, Non-Stick Waffle Maker, Red
The dash waffle iron again for American shoppers. :)
Dash Ceramic Nonstick Mini Waffle Maker Lilac
I have two of these. One for spices, one for coffee! Mortal and pestle is usually best to get the most flavor out of your spices, but a coffee grinder saves a ton of energy if you need to process a lot of things.
Black & Decker Easy One-Touch Coffee Grinder/Spice Grinder ...
I had an older version of this one and it was the best thing ever! Make your own lattes at home!
De'Longhi Classic Espresso Maker with 2-Setting Steam Wand

KitchenAid® 3-Piece Pasta Roller & Cutter Attachment Set
If you don't have a dishwasher, these things are amazing. They don't have to hook to a tap and you can pour water in the top. Amazon has these in different brands as well. You can drain them into the sink or a 5gal bucket for portability. A real li...
Hamilton Beach Portable Countertop Mini Dishwasher with 5-L Built ...
These are such a time saver. Easily cube veggies for soups or salads. One thing I have noticed though is if you have a particulary tough skinned tomato or pepper, they sometimes get stuck. Always amazing for onions and most roots though!
As Seen On TV Nutri Slicer XL - Canadian Tire
Pump action salad spinners are great. I have an older version of this and it performs so much better than the crank versions.
OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner, Clear, 10-1/4-in | Canadian Tire
I have one of these and it's great for soup!
Cuisinart® SmartStick® 2-Speed Corded Hand Blender w
I do not have this particular grater, but I have a vintage steel one that clamps on to the edge of a counter top. They are amazingly useful in the kitchen for quick shredding of cheese, zucchini, grating nuts etc. Even better is an electric one. Che...

One of the better pizza stones out there, in my opinion. highly resistant to shattering and most can go on the bbq!
Pizza Stone
I love these for the kids (and adults!) That prefer their food separated. Also great for food prep when you have a bunch of smaller ingredients to separate but don't want tiny bowls all over the place!
Verka Stainless Steel 3 Compartment Small Tray
How pretty is this??! Upgrade the look of your stand mixer with this floral ceramic bowl. Super pretty!
