I like gadgets and it is fun to try them from time to time. I have a
mango cutter that works reasonably well and a side-cutting can opener
that I bought after I sliced my finger recently. I'm not sure that I
like the last. I have a garlic press that is a pain to clean and I
usually just squash the cloves with a heavy knife and then chop.

I'm also surprised sometimes to read letters from people who have never
heard of some gadgets like pizza cutting wheels. My wife's early
attempts to make pastry crusts were a failure until she discovered the
wire gadget for cutting in the shortening (whatever it is called). It
makes good mashed potatoes too.

Incidentally, I'm not sure that I like the beer-can pull type lid opener
common on soups. There've been a few messy but not dangerous incidents!
