For me, it would probably have to be my Bialetti moka pot and Dualit toaster. I make a pot of coffee and toast almost every morning. I also hope to replace my old pans with a cast iron one soon, and I look forward to using that a lot.

Vitamix, instant pot, and air fryer. All almost equally. The versatility of just these appliances is insane and can't imagine a kitchen without them.

My Vitamix blender. (Same one Starbucks uses)

I use it for so many different things but the most popular item is my homemade milkshakes. Kids love them and it’s perfect for them.

Cast iron skillet is favourite/most used kitchen item. In lieu of a toaster I use it to brown bread slices.

All 3 of my cutting boards. They get so beat up and I hardly ever maintain them.

FYI, if they're wooden, you can make your own cutting board conditioner easily and inexpensively. Only needs two things; mineral oil and pure beeswax, 4 parts oil to 1 part beeswax. Heat up the oil, mix in the wax, decant into containers, and let it cool. Store-bought conditioner is almost always that same primary mix; maybe with a little something extra, maybe not.

Recently made the leap to get a relatively expensive ($60NZD / $40USD) variable temperature kettle. Being able to keep the water warm while I take a shower or get coffee/green tea at the right temperature has been such a quality of life improvement!

5 mini silicone spatulas. It was cheaper to buy 5 than 1 on Amazon and at first I was like I don't need this many mini spatulas, but they're super helpful and great at scraping and I don't have to worry about washing them between jobs since I have several I can swap between. I find them more versatile than having one big spatula.

We have two stoneware baking sheets that I use almost exclusively for putting things in the oven. They're great for reheating stuff in there and kind of like cast iron, they get more and more non stick as you use them.
