I have many products I love to use in the kitchen, but two I find handy are both from Pampered Chef. One is the Apple Peeler / Corer / Slicer. It is easy and quick to use and clean up is a sinch. The apple is quickly peeled, cored and sliced which makes it super fast when you want to make a pie or give the kids peeled slices of an apple. The other is the egg separator. So many times I have tried to separte the yolk only to end up with egg scramble in my hand. This easy gadget does all the separating for me without making the mess. Awesome to have around when you need lots of eggs separated, especially when making holiday cookies!

I received the Keurig B60 for my birthday last December. I have almost completely stopped going by Starbucks. I still have to have my espresso frapp from time to time. :) The coffee selections are great. My youngest loves hot chocolate, my daughter likes a milder blend, while my husband and I love the darker roasts. Quick and easy to use. No more wasting partial pots of coffee. I have recommended this product to friends and family.

I love the oxo cherry pitter. I like to make made-from-scratch cherry pies and it saves a ton of time.

My Krups fast touch Coffee grinder - I take my coffee very seriously and love the flavor of freshly ground coffee. I love the Krups coffee grinder because it is so compact, quiet, does'nt take up much space on my kitchen counter, and most importantly, i am amazed at how fast it turns beans into ground coffee. I have two of these...one is exclusively for coffee and the other is for spices :)

I love my Chef' s Envy professional slicer. It dices,shreds, and chops. I'm a busy mom of three and I need all the help I can get and this gadget saves me so much time in the kitchen. Thanks

Sure wish I could add products to the She Speak List - it'd include my melon baller which I use as an ice cream scoop, the silicon spatula that works great for making scrambled eggs, and the glass storage bowls which have replaced all that plastic in my kitchen.

I've already submitted one review, but just wanted to mention that I also own the Keurig one cup coffee machine and I absolutely love it. It's quick and easy to use and there are several different flavors of kcups you can buy. There is even hot chocoloate which my 9 year old loves. I also love how you only make one cup at a time which is perfect for my husband and I because he likes plain coffee while I like flavored coffee so it elminates having to make two separate pots of coffee that just end up getting wasted as we usually only drink one cup each in the mornings.

I couldn't find this item in the seach to enter my review, but the Pampered Chef Micro Cooker is the best kitchen gadget I own. It's the quickest and easiest way to heat up vegetables, boil water, or cook something in the microwave. I use it all the time (almost every day at dinner time) and I've had it for at least ten years and it's still going strong!

I don't own any of the listed products either, but I love my Cuisinart, my Presto Salad Shooter, and my Jura Espresso Machine. As well as my Breville Panini Press and my Wusthof Santoku knife.

My Oxo Cookie Scoops- they come in small, medium and large and are great for cookies, biscuits, meatballs, etc... I love them!

Since I don't own any of those appliances I can't review them. That's okay though because I'd really have no use for the prizes listed.
