My first is this silicon spatula. It's construction isnt just a silicon tip with wooden handle. Its the red silicon for much more of the handle, which I've felt makes it easier to clean and last longer, since gunk isnt getting wedged between the handle and tip. I like it so much I have two.
The second is probably just a spray bottle with water and dish soap. I clean up messes and the stove and countertops with it, and it's incredibly convenient.
My knife, it's not only a work of art itself, but so so good to use
My Sunbeam egg cooker. Not sure it qualifies as a utensil?
I just stick two eggs in, plus the amount of water indicated for two eggs, and soon two soft boiled eggs are ready. No fuss, no guesswork.
Do you meant utensil?
I have this silicone lid I got from Aldi. It's just a giant flat circle of silicone with an indented lid in the middle. I bought it for my giant soup pot as I didn't have a lid for it, but it's so much more than a lid. It's amazing as a splash guard, it seals via vacuum to pots so you can lift from two points instead of just the handle, it's good for covering food and keeping it warm... I love it more than I ever thought I would. And it's super easy to clean!
My electric kettle. It's so convenient for tea.
My le creusets! I have a braising pan and a Dutch oven and honestly they’re just perfect. Use them for nearly every meal, have had them for about 7 years now and got the Dutch oven as a gift. Not sure what I’ll do when we someday upgrade to an induction stove top… cry, I guess.
Equally loved is my Zojirushi rice cooker. I make rice daily and literally nothing else I’ve ever had can compete with it.
A set of wooden spoons and cooking chopsticks. I guess I'm old fashion, but they get the job done and aren't hard to clean. With proper acids or alcohols, my cooking rarely sticks unless I want it to stick.
I just got a nice set of knives over the holiday and I can't express how life changing it is using decent knives compared to my old ones. I also like my blade sharpener and olive oil spritzer
If you make bread, a Danish whisk. Is so much easier to stir a dough together.
If you make anything that requires pitted cherries, get a cherry pitter. It's a single use tool, but it makes a terrible task much faster and easier than any stupid youtube hack
We call them spatulas moneysavers in the business.
Pressure cooker. Not electric or anything fancy. Just a simple 6 at pressure cooker. I use it 3-4 times a week.
Over the holidays there was a sale on the Gir 10 piece silicon utensils set, and it's great. I'm really happy with it:

An old wooden spoon of my moms. It has a circular handle, which makes it infinitely better than the other wooden spoons for just about everything.
The scoop that came with our instant pot. That thing can't even go in the dishwasher we use it every night for rice, sauce, curry, stew, casserole... Everything.
Anyone who knows where I can buy more please, please tell me!
Besides the workhorse knives (the tools most used have to be of good quality), my favorite misc item is a Rosle bar spoon I got 20 years ago. It's more a proper spoon shape than other bar spoons, with a bowl shaped spoon and straight handle, and it's like 12 inches long. I use it at least a few times a week.
Sadly long discontinued, and I can't even find a picture online anymore.
Knife, obv. My second favourite is also a knife. My third favourite is another knife. My fourth favourite is an ancient wooden spatula which has become exactly the right shape for my fifth favourite enamelled Dutch oven.
Water
Wait, no, electricity to run my fridge, convection oven and stove. 😁
Stainless steel spatula and spiral whisk. Carbon steel and cast iron pans. Wood core Hasegawa cutting board.
