Hellobee Boards

I have an apple slicer and love it! Have an avocado one and that doesn't work very well.

We have an egg slicer that gets tons of use. I love that thing! We use it for mushrooms and strawberries too

I just got a sno cone maker for my birthday from DH!!! This summer is going to be awesome!!

@autumnlove: oooo, it's a great general slicer!

I have crab crackers (in the shape of crab legs) even though we never cook crab at home!

I love my apple slicer too! I also have this little hook thing for peeling oranges, because I love oranges but can never peel them myself. It fits on your finger like a ring and then you drag it along the peel and then peel it up.

I have an egg slicer and an apple corer/slicer that makes them into spirals. I also have cake decorating tips and bags. @PurplePumps: Have you ever used a drinking straw to hull a strawberry? Just slide it through the center, from the bottom. It's a cool idea.

Apple slicer/corer & a pair of kitchen scissors with a herb shredder.

I have a bunch of those cute egg gadgets, like the single hard boiled egg maker for the microwave, egg slicer, and tiny egg-shaped measuring cup (it measures tsp or tbsp). I really want the potato shaped potato brush too!

@Happygal: Haha I thought onion goggles sounded like a great invention and DH thought I was ridiculous. Do they work?

@Mrs. 64: yes, they do! Mine are bright pink. My eyes seem to be really sensitive, and cutting onions can also make my nose run. Dorky glasses are much better than runny eyes and nose!

@prettylizy: I never thought about using our egg slicer for mushrooms!
@luckypenny: That sounds...pretty awesome!!

DH "complains" that we have a lot of kitchen gadgets that are only good for one thing. Like the popcorn air-popper. But we use it a lot! We also have a coffee bean grinder, but that gets used every day as well.

I do have one of those Italian espresso things...I got it for my bridal shower and have never used it! I "had" to have it at the time, because my folks used to live in Italy and my dad got all into it, and I though it was cool.

A fois gras slicer. We've used it a few times for the intended purpose. My MIL gives us a few containers of it around the holidays.

@mamamagpie: LOVE the photo :-). I keep threatening to get those for DH.

We got an asparagus peeler.

I think it was just kinda a funny gift. We do eat a lot of asparagus but we never bother to peel .

@Sugar.Biscuit: We have something similar but have never used it. We just moved to a new house, and our little doo dad is in our give away pile!

@autumnlove: I was convinced as a kid that an apple slicer was a necessity!! haha but I don't have one as an adult

I think the closest thing would be my awesome owl measuring cups... but they're def a necessity

@Modern Daisy: we have a food scale, too, for that exact reason! I actually use it all the time now and am glad DH bought it!

@prettylizy: I never thought to use it to cut other things! Amazing...

@DigAPony: I love that orange peeler - I hate peeling oranges without it

@T.H.O.U.: I didn't even know anyone peeled asparagus! That's bizarre

I have a batter dispenser. I HATE getting cupcake/muffin batter into the little cups with a spoon, because it gets all over the pan and makes a huge mess.
I also have a vegetable shredder, so I don't have to pay extra money for shredded carrots anymore.
I have a melon baller - I don't know why, but it's so much more fun to eat balls of cantaloupe/ watermelon than slices!
