New Ideas for old gadgets

Don't get me wrong, kitchen gadgets are fun, but sometimes you just don't have enough room for them. What do you do with all the ones you already own? Easy, come up with new uses for them. Take an egg slicer. I mean how often do you use this thing? I saw it chilling in the back of the drawer the other day and thought... hmmm what else could I slice up with that thing?


Inspiration. Mushrooms are soft enough that the fine metal string cuts right on through without mashing the mushrooms to pieces! Now when I make pizza I bust out this little guy for perfectly even slices to top my pizza!

Next up are some old wooden chopsticks (not the take out kind, nice ones) Wooden anything kinda makes me a little worried germ wise, but I didn't want to just toss them out.


Bingo! The wooden chopsticks work perfect for fishing a bagel or a small piece of bread out of the toaster! No more burnt fingers or jabbing a metal fork into it!

So I'm curious, what random kitchen gadgets do you have pull double duty?
