For me, it would probably have to be my Bialetti moka pot and Dualit toaster. I make a pot of coffee and toast almost every morning. I also hope to replace my old pans with a cast iron one soon, and I look forward to using that a lot.

Gotta be the microwave.

I can make pasta in it, rice in it, potatoes (in many forms) in it, vegetables in it, delicious kidney beans + salt and black pepper in it as a 5 min easy and healthy meal, I can reheat in it, etc. ^.^

It works both for easy quick food and as part of a larger cooking session when I do bulk prep, and because of it's digital and precise nature it makes for an extremely predictable way to make stuff like pasta and rice just how I want it without needing fancy equipment, and I can also reliably refine it until it works exactly right.
