What is the small household item you would hate to be without?

For me, after being unable to cook as the gas cylinder fitting had jammed from lack of use? DW40

Miracle spray!

It would have to be my airfryer.
Can live the fast life without being detrimental to my health.

That could be perceived as being multi functional.

Toilet paper.

Spiral steel scourer. It replaces bleaches and other assorted cleaning products and it doesn't rust, it lasts ages and costs about 40cent for a pack of two or three.

And my wooden sweeping brush. I don't know where all the dust comes from but imagine trying to clean the floors without one. I don't use a vacuum cleaner, mainly because there are no carpets in my house and they never lasted long before losing suction when I used to use one.

Hmm... A toss up

My chef knife which isn't even that expensive but still a nice Analon one that I've sharpened to an inch of it's life and the life of my fingers. Blunt 'sharp' knives is something I detest in a kitchen.

My cast iron frying pans. I'll never buy tefal again.

Vegetable peeler.

My diamond whetstone - no point having good knives if they are blunt; I HATE trying to cook with blunt knives very much indeed.

Poultry shears.. I feed the cats raw chicken and used to struggle with a knife. Owners here had left three pairs in the drawer.. Great things...

Hot water bottle. Instant heat, pain relief and a mood lifter when down in the dumps.

Moka pot.
It keeps me topped up with espresso goodness.

My whistling stovetop kettle. There's something so cheery about that noise in the morning.

Strainers. It's a complete pain in the neck trying to drain rice or pasta, vegetables etc without one.

Likewise, holey spoon, because how else do you lift a poached egg out of the water?
