Let’s get to the root.
Ginger, we love you so: You add plucky bite to our curries, a little chew to our molasses cookies, and some zip to our chai. But, let’s be honest, peeling this versatile root’s a real hassle, right? Enter this 3-in-1 ginger tool. You can remove the skin effortlessly with the plastic nub on the side, which also reduces the heat of the flavor just a smidge. The grating feature retains all the oils in the ginger meat and keeps it from turning into an unwieldy mush. Oh, and it’s got a tiny built-in mandolin slicer for thicker pieces. Pair it with the sharp-as-can-be stainless steel zester/grater and you’ll have the coolest tools in the drawer.

Here are our favorite kitchen utensils -- the ones we won't give up in favor of a simpler life. It's funny how so many of our answers are about tools that are just so "satisfying" to use!Click through for pitters, slicers, and choppers galore.
