    Favorite gadgets and appliances

    I wanted to thank everyone who responded with their list on the What's in your Stash Forum. My next question is what are your favorite kitchen appliances and cooking gadgets? As before, I'm looking for ideas. I have 4 crockpots: 6qt, 4qt, 2qt. and the last one is a crock pot that doubles a roaster (Nesco). My favorite gadgets are the Vidalia Onion chopper (as seen on tv) to cut up vegetables and the silicone oven mitts. I'm now breaking in the new dehydrator.

    I love my crockpot (I have two, but use the smaller one at least once a week).  DH loves our small coffeemaker (I'm not a coffee drinker).  We like our toaster as well.

    I like my Cuisinart Quik Prep hand blender.  It comes in handy for mixing small amounts, when I don't want to use the blender.

    Let's see... My Kitchen Aid stand mixer, and my crock pot. Those are my favorites.

    mmm..not a gadget person.  but for the most use in the kitchen the coffeemaker is the star!  plus our hot shot for almost instant hot water.   after that would be the crockpot, rice cooker and hamilton grill.

    Hmm... I love my crock pot, but probably the appliance I get the most use out of would be my George Foreman grill

    We use our coffee pot, toaster & microwave every day.  I love my crockpot though! And my electric griddle, it makes an appearance at least every other Sunday. I love it to make rows of pancakes!

    For gadgets? Hmmm...I'd really have to think on that one. We actually don't keep a lot of gadgets in the kitchen, no idea why! Dear bf complains everytime I ask him to peel potatoes because we don't even have a peeler in the house--I was taught to peel with a paring knife, and I find a peeler slow and a pain in the neck LOL!  I do want to start making bento's, so that will require some gadgets.

    I'm more of a collector of nifty serving items.  I have a gorgeous slate (yes rock) slab serving platter I got on clearnance at the Crate & Barrel outlet for $15 that I love.  That and my lacquered chop sticks, soy sauce bowls and traditional sushi plates from the same store. Wink

    Dear All, I enjoy my breadmaker the most!

    My Darling brother just gave me a microwave oven & a hot pot (electric machine for heating water) with AUTOMATIC shut-off; tehy both arrived yesterday.  (These gifts were so that I can cook without having to use the gas stove; I had left a burner on all night 9 days ago.)  Once I get them set up, I'll bet that they will rank right up there with the bread machine!

    Yours in Him, Deb

    Yours in thrift, Deb

    My toaster oven hands down!  With only two of us, it gets more use than any other appliance in the kitchen!
