The food processor (a gift) is the biggest offender at our house
though it sits in a cabinet. The George Foreman (another gift) sits in
the cabinet over the stove, although we will use it for making cuban
sandwiches from time to time. No electricity needed for making bread,
juicing, or opening cans -- the Swing-a-Way sits in the kitchen
drawer, the cute little Polish juicer sits in a server drawer, and the
big juicer on a cabinet shelf next to the Microplanes and the Feemster.
