As a traveling chef, I try to keep my gear bag as light as possible. I love reading the front of Cooks Illustrated and getting ideas on using kitchen gear for uses it wasn't originally intended for or home remedies using what's on hand instead of specialty tools.
So, what are some of your best "I also use this to..."?
I recently discovered my seafood forks work great for scraping bone marrow out, and at home started using my truffle slicer (it's amazing the crap you end up with when family runs out of gift ideas and just walks into WS) to slice ginger.
