What Kitchen Appliances Can't You Be without?
I'm not talking about the usual bigger appliances that are found in a kitchen, such as dish washer, microwave, refrigerator , stove, etc., but ones such as a electric can opener (for instance). Do you have some appliances that you use often and would be lost without? I learned to cook with an electric skillet and mostly always have two on hand, which I use daily. I would VERY much miss my Kitchen Aid mixer, as I do a lot of baking, and would be lost without it too. I also have a hand portable mixer, which is handy for a quick mix and smaller quantities. My Cuisinart food processor is a Godsend. Also love our Bunn coffeemaker. I have other appliances I use periodically, such as a mini processor (for small jobs) and the can opener, deep fryer, waffle iron, and blender, which I would miss, but not to the same degree as other appliances.

I can live without any small kitchen appliances. I rarely use them at all. Was given an electric can opener and eventually threw it away after never being able to figure out how to use it. I have a bread maker. It's in the garage. Never use it. Same for my dehydrator. Can't remember the last time I used my stand mixer or the hand mixer or even my stick blender. Have a regular blender I haven't used since I moved in. And I did buy a Magic Bullet to replace the broken one but never took it out of the box. I do have a food processor. I will be using it when I make meatloaf and that will be fairly soon. But really? I can easily do without these things and I did for many years. |

2 days ago I lost my wine opener and had to drive 5 miles to get it. So I ordered an electric one from amazon. Its superb. Also simply cant have wine without my wine aerator.
Can opener and waffle iron for me too. Cooking on the burner if microwave isnt working is much easier than opening a can with a screw driver. Quote:

So has the mixer and even the coffee machine. I think those are the ones that have the highest percentage of time on the counter. The toaster oven or convection oven held space for a pretty long time. One of the most surprising one that has a lot of counter time is the Magic Bullet miniture blender. |

What's your guideline for giving something countertop space? Once a day? Twice a day? There has to be a size factor too, I would think. For some reason, my lemon reamer gets countertop billing, but if I move it, it'll upset mys 'system.' It lives in teh smallest caddy but gets used maybe twice a week. |

My counter is pretty cluttered, but the "appliance", if you can call it that, is a cutting board. Knife rack too. Jerry -- Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get. |

Once a > day? Twice a day? There has to be a size factor too, I would think. For actually moving items from the counter to the pantry shelf, it happens as needed. For moving items from the panty shelf to the garage shelf and eventually to the donate/trash/recycle bins it happens at the occasional clean up project. I was thinking of what small appliances seem to stay on the counter year after year. > For some reason, my lemon reamer gets countertop billing, but if I > move it, it'll upset mys 'system.' It lives in teh smallest caddy > but gets used maybe twice a week. There are hand ones that live on a hook board. Strainers and assorted gadgets that are closer in size to pots than to knives. Some of those only get used a few times per year that are there mostly as show like the food sieve but most get used more than monthly. If I tried to remember the items that spent weeks or months on my counter the list would get longer. Food processor almost qualifies for year to year, Crockpot, Tilia Foodsaver, blender. Those are the ones that seem to be on the counter a sizable fraction of the year. Some are in the pantry shelf because they get moved to the kitchen then back to the panty when we're done with them. The biggest is my home brewing kit that gets used for 2-4 batches of ale or mead per year. There's a food mill, a bunch of odd shaped pots and pans, various electrical gadgets. One item we light is that "See the Light" infrared baking units with the clear plastic rings. I think we like it because my wife got it at a garage sale for $5. If we had paid full price it would have long since gone to the garage. One that seems to bounce between the garage and the pantry is the dehumidifier. Dried fruit comes and goes at home. |

A friend gave me an electric can opener, a good many years ago now, when I broke my arm. It didn't last long (plastic gears should be illegal) but it lasted until I could use both hands again. |

Do you have some > appliances that you use often and would be lost without? If countertop real estate is the criterion, the most indispensible one is the coffee grinder. I really should get a hand-cranked version as a backup. The next hardest-to-get-along-without is the toaster. Although, after years of camping I can make toast by holding a slice of bread with wire tongs over a burner. The coffeemaker can be replaced with water boiled on the stove, poured into either a French press or a Chemex. And, although I would have to read how to do it properly on the stove, I suppose we could do without the rice cooker. We seldom get out the (hand) mixer. The Osterizer sees a lot more use, but it lives in a cabinet, as does the slow cooker/deep fryer (for making stocks with the liner in, and Buffalo wings with the liner out) And the Cuisinart we got as a present seems like so much junk to drag out and then clean. > > I learned to cook with an electric skillet and mostly always have two on > hand, which I use daily.

I have 5 hungry cats to feed! =^,,^= Another electric appliance I forgot about, and would add to my list of 'most' favorite, would be my Crock Pot. I don't use it all that often, but when I do, I want it within a arm's reach. I just bought a new one, as my other one was so old, and didn't seem to be cooking food as good as it once did, but guess all kinds of things slow down with age! LOL Judy |
