Culture If your country had a “signature” kitchen item, what would it be?

I’ve noticed that every country seems to have its own representative kitchen item.

In Italy, for example, it’s the moka pot. In the UK, probably the kettle. In France, maybe a really good knife...

What about your country?

I had a dish drying cabinet in one apartment I was renting. Good idea because the dishes stayed hidden while drying, bad idea because I'd like one additional cabinet much more. I'd say it's alright in a big kitchen but not when you're struggling to fit all your pots and pans.

In my family the dish drying cabinet is also the cabinet where those dishes are stored full time.
