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

Cheese Slicer. The most common kitchen tool in any Swedish home!

I bought a few small silicon dough rising containers, for use in the fridge when making pizza (i.e. low yeast content) dough. Absolutely stellar. Can easily keep balls of dough around for 1-2 weeks and they in fact get slightly better with age, and they're trivial to clean, too.

I don't know about unconventional but I use the absolute heck out of my half width spatula, the skinny one.

Also got a silicone fish spatula and that thing rocks. I thought it would be too bendy to work, and I don't have any nonstick pans (cast iron all day every day and one steel pan we call the stick pan, sometimes you want fond) so usually use metal but the edge on this thing is knife sharp and it squeezes under fried eggs like nothing else.

I really want a stovetop milk steamer. Sure would use it every day.
