I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now. What are your small, “random” or “junk drawer” type of gadgets that you actually use or like having around?

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

I was gifted an air fryer a while back. While it’s generally useful, cleaning if after each use is really obnoxious imo and so I hardly ever use it.

It’s a lot easier to clean a pan I used in the oven because I can just pop it in the dishwasher. I can’t pop the air fryer in the dishwasher. It would destroy it.

You can buy air fryer liners to minimize cleanup.
Mine came with a little pan or tray that we can line with foil easy peasy. Much less to clean.
