Definitely the microplane for me. I think these are one of the best things ever invented.

Just got my Cuisinart hand blender in the mail. Love it!

good grief, how big are all of y’all’s stockings?
I inherited my mother’s cuisnart food processor - she got it in the mid-70’s. Its a heavy thing, but still runs like nobody’s business.

Mr Henry, kind Sir, anything smaller gadgets that would actually fit in a stocking? beyond the aerator & veggie cleaner.

I wholeheartedly second the French press; you can’t get better coffee, period, than with a French press. Drip? Pfft. I’ve seen the light, and the light is coming from a French press.

I agree with all the choices except the aerolatte! Bleaugh. Use the steamer. Howsomever, my socks aren’t really big enough for a biggo FP!

WAY cool — a 64 oz. blender party courtesy of Aunt Carol!

Today, of course, devices of such size and scope are monitored by Homeland Security.

“rich, practical-minded, no-nonsense aunts” - that’s me. When my nephew was in college I gave him a Waring professional blender with a 64 oz. Stainless steel carafe (roommate proof) for Christmas. He was already famous for his frozen Margaritas and salsa, but he told me his friends were awestruck when he got that monster out for parties.

I so need a silicone spatula. I have all the baking ware in silicone, and I have become enamored of it.

I have that Cuisinart drip coffee maker, and so do my parents. It’s fantastic.

That milk frother looks pretty spiffy.

I just give those wee airline-size bottles of expensive booze. One size fits all.

Okay, maybe not to the nieces and nephews.
