What's the Most Important Tool in Your Kitchen?

The biggest tool in my kitchen is probably me, but as for the most important tool, I guess I'm with Bourdain on this one.

My Waiter's Friend, of course - it opens both my wine AND my beer bottles.

My personal chef. Oh wait, I don't have one.

Having faced two sinks filled with dirty dishes spilling over onto the adjacent counters at 5:30 AM today, I'm convinced the most important kitchen tool is of course the dishwasher.

I must say, it may not be the most important, but once I got a microplane grater, I couldn't live without out. I use it often!

The most important tool in Bourdain's kitchen is the cash register.

Knives (just splurged on some awesome wurstof knives over Xmas- so it also might be that I'm still in lust with em).

@bender, my Wusthof knives are several years old and I'm still hopelessly devoted. Agree with Bourdain about one good knife--maybe two or three. At least three of the knives in my block see use about once a year. I just need a good chef knife, serrated, and utility, with a meat knife and fish knife on standby.

At least 3 high quality, very sharp knives; 9" chef, 8" sandoku, & 4" pairing.

Most important tools in my kitchen are a knife, a flame, and some good 80's hair metal...

A CSA membership to force me to prepare things like kohlrabi and turnips.
