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

Osthyvel (a cheese slicer). I kinda miss it every time I'm on vacation and I have no means to get the expected thickness of a cheese slice.

This is the epitome of first world problems.

Yesss! I grew up with one of these and didn’t realize it was unconventional until I lived on my own and tried to find one in a store. Had to buy it online. I use it nearly every day.

It blows my mind that the ostehøvvel is not a common utensil in most countries. How else would you enjoy brødskive with brunost?

I just hack off a chunk with a pocket knife. Also relevant,

I was in Oslo yesterday, and brunost is fucking amazing 🤤

The grater usually has the same deal on the side. Vegetable peelers do the same job also.

Where would this be unconventional?
