What are your unconventional kitchen tools/utensils you were skeptical of at first but feel you can’t live without?

Box cutter for removing can labels. That way, they don't get soggy and awful when you have to rinse the can before recycling. Or rinse before opening, if you store your cans in a semi-outdoor environment like me.

Spiral pineapple slicer. Thought it was dumb but now i love it.

I don't know about unconventional but I use the absolute heck out of my half width spatula, the skinny one.

Also got a silicone fish spatula and that thing rocks. I thought it would be too bendy to work, and I don't have any nonstick pans (cast iron all day every day and one steel pan we call the stick pan, sometimes you want fond) so usually use metal but the edge on this thing is knife sharp and it squeezes under fried eggs like nothing else.

I really want a stovetop milk steamer. Sure would use it every day.

Huh. No one has said ground meat breaker/chopper.shen my wife got one, I said it was a waste, a spatula was fine, etc etc. Then I used it once....holy crap so much better and easier to get exactly the chunkiness you want from ground beef, turkey, etc. Love the the thing now.
