My giant Forschner's chef's knife would be the other necessity. I could improvise with everything else but those 3 things I would sorely miss. |

We spent a small fortune on a garlic press that was supposed to be the greatest-thing-since-bubble-gum from one of our local "high quality brand" kitchen stores - and it was metal too... No such luck. It lasted a month or two. So we just use a heavy knife to chop/smash up garlic. and it still tastes good ;-) -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

OK, MWs aside, there's the early hand-cranked dual-spindle mixer. Wish I had one, only if just for show! I remember Mom's. Don't remember what became of it. It was probably the first kid-safe appliance we were taught to use. I think we first learned to mix pancake batter using it. It could be a battle between us just to get control of it. If sis cried, we'd step back looking all shy and innocent. Women! Andy |

Having gone without one for a few months during some really hard times, I'd say a refrigerator would come to the top of my list over most of these. Stove top/oven - you need a heat source. Counter space/double-bowl kitchen sink/kitchen scissors/dutch oven/ss pots/sieve/grater/collander - these are all luxuries in my book. You need something to cut on (board), something to cut with (knife), and something to cook in (pot). The can opener is damn useful, but you can open cans with a knife if necessary. Other than that, I'd say a bucket, soap, and source of water. Susan B. |

Having gone without one for a few months during some >really hard times, I'd say a refrigerator would come to the top of my >list over most of these. I could get by with no fridge if I had a Coleman-type cooler that I pack with store bought ice; I'd do this before I could go without knife, utensils, some sort of surface for prep. If I had no heat source I could still eat raw food. You can even make coffee by soaking overnight at room temp. But a source of water for washing vegetables and cleaning up is essential. So the bare minimum is: Sink/detergent Kitchen Knife Other utensils, plates, bowls Surface Salad bowl, jar for making coffee tea, pots, containers, glasses Cooler Swiss Army Knife Nice to have also: coffee grinder (perhaps hand-operated) A good way to reset your thinking on this is to spend time in a very underequipped vacation cabin or hotel room. You don't need much, actually. Steve |
