It is so individual....I keep all things that are sharp in one drawer - knives, scissors, cheese slicers, zesters, peelers, etc. I hate reaching into a drawer and finding a sharp thing that was not supposed to be there. Then, I have a bunch of tools in a holder on the sink - mostly spatulas, silicon scrapers, wooden spoons, things I need to grab in a hurry when cooking. Under the stove goes a bunch of other, less frequently used tools, and then I have another drawer devoted to tongs and BBQ equipment. All my baking tools go in a drawer above the flour and sugar (actually, I only have drawers in my kitchen!) I don't think my system is perfect, but so far, it is working. If you don't have drawers, maybe baskets with items grouped together by frequency of use or cooking task. Or hang the essential tools near the stove on tool hooks. How did your kitchen end up without lots of drawers? I am not sure that I have the best answers to this problem!

I'm very impressed by your list! I, too, have a lot of gadgets and appliances. I have a pretty big kitchen and lots of cabinets, but not a lot of drawers. I'm trying to find a better way to organize the hand tools, such as spatulas, spreaders, peelers, zesters, etc. How do you keep your tools organized? Hi! I’m very impressed by your list!

Aren't you supposed to keep all of that liquid with your yogurt? I am in love with my Le Creuset (I have graphite colored ones). I need something in the 3 quart range to complete my set, I think. The Le Creuset grill pan is super-useful. I also have a little egg timer that goes in the boiling water with the eggs and changes color based on the hardness of the egg. I would not live without it!

Lately, I have been making bread and I love the way the stone gives the crust a nice crunch. we received the Pizza Stone as a wedding gift, and while I don’t use it every day, it is one thing that I find makes a big difference.

My kids are big fans of mini-bagels, it would be useful to have a gadget to slice those. Jim, please feel free to send me one, I would be happy to review it!

We make the Bagel Biter, The Original Bagel Guillotine. We have sold over a million units of our patented bagel slicer for home use molded in white. This year we are coming out with a black and silver gray colored model. It coordiates better with contemporary kitchen electrics as it comes close to the stainless steel, brushed aluminium and black components popular in electic toasters and other countertop products. Due out in kitchenware stores in May for about $25. I just thought that you would like to know. Jim at Larien Products Hello Kitchen Gadget Girl!

No, we don't have a particularly large kitchen (I have seen much bigger!) but I did spend a lot of time figuring out how to organize it and my workflow and so I think we fit things in pretty well. However, I still do have kitchen stuff stored in a cabinet in the dining room, since they would not fit in the kitchen! funny you say that!
