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

I actually stopped using my garlic press because I felt it was more work than finely chopping with the knife. It'd be great if it was just "press and done", but there's always heaps left in the press itself that refuses to go through, which then has to be dealt with by hand anyway.

You just flip the handle over and press the little nubbins backwards through the holes to push out the woody gunk into the trash. If it doesn't fall completely out a gentle whack on the side of the can knocks it out. It's all fibrous and doesn't have much flavor.
