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

A standalone egg steamer / boiler / poacher (like https://www.sunbeam.com.au/kitchen-and-home/cooking/pie-waffle-snack-makers/poach-and-boil-egg-cooker )

Yes I can boil or poach eggs on a stove or in the microwave, but the sheer ease of use and that it's always perfect is a life changer.

I'll add to this: an egg topper/cracker. One simple thunk breaks a perfectly round crack in the egg shell, meaning you can behead it with ease. It's a simple tool, but I wouldn't want a kitchen without it.
