What's your favorite kitchen tool?

[daisy]

Hi, everyone!

I was doing a water change just now, and I was thinking about how two of my most useful pieces of equipment for tank maintenance are a turkey baster and a pair of kid-chopsticks (the kind that are spring-loaded/attached at the top), and i was wondering -

what other kitchen tools do other reefers use in their tanks?

I use the turkey baster to blow debris/detritus off my rocks and corals (and to suck aptasia up from the sand)

I use the chopsticks for stirring my salt into water and also for moving things in the tank that don't require really gentle handling.

I also have a huge kitchen knife dedicated to fish food, but i don't really count that...

...what do you use?

Ohh I forgot to add measureing cups too, but that like a given. I got yelled at for the other night I left in the salt bucket in the basement LOL.

another vote for turkey baster. i use it as a spot feeder, algea remover, nudi killer, salt creep blaster-offer, pod rescuer from outgoing waterchange water, the list goes on and on

T - Agreed - Turkey baster is hands-down the most important piece of kitchen equipment in my HUMBLE opinion! Add to your list of uses tiny-waterborne-aptasia-catcher!!!

...silver lobster fork? I don't even know what that looks like, but if it's good for picking off bubble algae, I need to get one!!!
