The Kitchen Unitaskers You Cannot Live Without

A “unitasker” is, by definition, a specialized tool that has one, and only one, function.

Back in December 2015, Alton Brown reviewed some of the most popular unitaskers for the kitchen that are available for sale on Amazon. If your a fan of the “Thyme Lord”, it's much watch viewing!

Now, if you're a person for whom the idea of a single function kitchen tool that was designed to perform one, and only one, extraordinarily specialized task is irresistible, or you know someone who shares that kind of devotion, we're about to give you the full birthday and Christmas shopping list that you need in 2016, featuring each of the items in Alton's review. Just click the links below to go straight to Amazon where you'll find each!

It's quite possible that you could spend a collective total of $126.08 (at this writing) and have each of these kitchen unitaskers, all of which will sit unused in a drawer somewhere (except perhaps those shredding claws – provided you adopt the lifestyle that goes along with them!) Or, you could spend just a little less and have six units of the one unitasker your kitchen really needs….

Which actually happens to be a multitasker, if you read through the product description:

This fire extinguisher contains a multipurpose agent that fights Class A, Class B, and Class C fires. Class A fires involve common combustibles, such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber, trash, and plastics. Class B fires involve flammable liquids, solvents, oil, gasoline, paints, lacquers, and other oil-based products. Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment, such as wiring, controls, motors, machinery, and appliances.

If you're the kind of person who is drawn to those other kitchen unitaskers, you're probably also a person who would benefit from having six fire extinguishers on hand. Just saying….
