#1
Leatherman Multi-Tool (for cracking nuts, cutting through cans, fixing
broken kitchen equipment, and grabbing blueclaw crabs that have
escaped)
Meat thermometer
Microplane zester (sure, a kitchen grater will work in a pinch; this will
make life easier and tastier)
Salad spinner
Silicone basting brushes
Silicone cooking gloves that reach up to your elbow (much easier to use
than tongs for grabbing lobsters out of a pot of hot water or steaks off
the back of the grill)
The Way to Cook by Julia Child (a classic handbook of cooking
techniques; just beware of the butter)
Waiter's corkscrew
Weber Charcoal Kettle Grill (gas grills are convenient, but nothing beats
charcoal)
