I wish we’d do something similar here in the US. Just do like the track and make the dime the smallest coin.
Do you still work to the penny on electronic transactions?
What's your favorite kitchen tool?

Yes. Electronic transactions are exact to the penny, but “cash” transactions are rounded to the the nickle.
Bill amount $9.92 = pay $9.90
Bill amount $9.93 = pay $9.95
All works out in the wash…

I saw an old man stoop over and pick up a penny in the parking lot of Walmart this morning. My first thought was …“rest of the day you’ll have good luck!”.

Hi,
My favorite kitchen tool is stainless steel lemon squeezer. It’s small in size & I can use it for outdoor also.

Meat Grinder Stomper (got the small one)
Meat Grinder Stomper (got the small one)
Just bought it!
I am making a special work bench for this and cleaning the rust off this vintage manual meat grinder to make ground offal or organ meats I get from slaughter house or local farmers butcher shop (mix a little muscle meats in with that too)!
Meat grinders they make now days break or too expensive!
Going to get some more Elk bones to make bone broth this weekend!
That Atomic Coffee Maker looks awesome in Gabe’s post above looks so awesome❣️
Meat grinder?

I adore my vintage grinder but it’s for my Kitchenaide mixer. Does a bang up job too. I always buy the fattiest chuck roasts I can get my hands on…
And this new little gadget is becoming invaluable!!!

my mother had one too. Couldn’t find it when we cleaned out the house.

My scale gets the most use, though I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite.
Vitamix blender is awesome and super easy clean up.
And my FoodSaver is invaluable for buying large amounts of meat at Costco and splitting up into smaller use packages.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading on the little gadget in your picture and I’m 99% sure it’s about to become my favorite kitchen gadget that I don’t own yet. The picture you attached somewhat speaks to a question I have that I haven’t found a solid answer to (May have been answered and I missed it). Anyway, my question is: Assuming your pot or container is large enough, can you cook … say multiple steaks or pork chops at the same time. The pictures I’ve seem, demos I’ve watched, write ups I’ve read talk about … for example cooking the perfect steak (singular). Would this do well in your experience/opinion if . .say … I wanted to cook 3 steaks … or 4 thick pork chops … at the same time? It appears the water circulates and I didn’t know if at some point, the items clipped to the pot block the water circulation to the point it becomes inefficient?
lastly, if you had it to do over again, for the same money would you go with the same brand and model?
Thanks!

Yes, yes and yes!
Here is my very first SV cook…
4 hamburgers - 2 meals. You can package your food however you wish. Sometimes if I have multiple bags or concerns that there isn’t enough spacing, I’ll throw some rings from my mason jars on the bottom of the pot to raise the bags up off the bottom. Most stuff stays upright anyway. The problem then becomes how to keep things from floating once they begin cooking and the juices begin to cook out of the meat. This is why things are clipped to the sides and weights are used to keep the food submerged.
The little roasts in my first picture, I double bagged because it was for a 24h cook. In the second bag I vac sealed some heavy spoons to act as ballast. Worked great too.
You should head over to the SV New User thread. Lots of helpful info from the wise souls here.

Thanks for the response and great information. Double thanks for the reference to the sous vide threads. I see them there big as all outdoors! I did a forum search and read some individual postings but never thought to check to see if there were threads dedicated to sous vide (After all these years I still amaze myself at how dense I can be sometimes 
).
This looks like a game changer.

the husband is my favorite kitchen item. (I stop short of calling him a tool) 
Cooks just about anything I want, when I want it. Has mastered sous vide, grilling, eggs a million different ways including poached, makes amazing buttery sauces, and even cleans up most of the time. His fathead pizza is damn good too.
