Must have kitchen gadgets

jackomdj

Love this thread.

We have on the side
bean to cup coffee machine
Henkel knife block
George foreman
Veg steamer
Toaster

Then away but used all the time
Yoghurt maker
Kmix
Crock pot
All my cake making stuff

Will add as I think of the rest

nmm

Microwave
Halogen Oven
Breadmaker
Deep Fill Pie Maker
Deep Fill Sandwich Maker
Dehydrator
Toaster
Electric Tin Opener

The dehydrator is used to make chicken treats for my dogs & ferrets, they go mad for them We love pies but tried all our local shops and none were any good, since buying the pie maker we've not bought any its fab, best pies ever. The Breadmaker is used lots for bread, cakes and pizza dough. The halogen oven is used all the time as its my only oven, just had to replace it and I can now bakes cakes. The microwave is half broken and the toaster/sandwich maker are occasionally used for lunch.

feel quite amitarish at my lack of gadgets:o

on my sides are
kettle (used a lot!)
toaster (about once a month)
microwave (last used......erm? should throw it out really, but then id lose the space on top to keep the fruit bowl)
slush ice drink maker (used twice at xmas when i recieved it, but should be used loads in summer!)

on mothers day there will be a new blender there too

other than that i have my tea, coffee and sugar pots, the fruitbaowl, my cd/radio and a little drawers set which houses all my pens and other things that are easily lost.

deep fat fryer is in cupboard

i think the only other thing i have electrical is 2 hand held whisks!
never been a fan of a slow cooker (sinful, i know!) and the george foreman was thrown out about a year ago - ive never missed it!

would like to get another panini maker though, i had one before but it refused to open once when my dinner was in there. it was quite embarrassing returning it with a chicken and bacon panini inside!

and i dream of owning a kitchen aid!

The only gadgety thing we have is the blender which I only seem to use for smoothies. We also have a coffee machine (one that uses pods) but only my OH uses that.

I also my garlic crusher but it's horrific to clean.

I am aiming to be the queen of Minimalism. On my work surfaces there is a kettle and a microwave. I dont need anything else.

I can't reach the top parts of my cupboards either. What I eventually did was to get a folding step, it was only about a fiver from Amazon. Then I can get that out and use it to reach something in the top shelves when I need to, and the rest of the time it lives folded flat in the gap down the side of the washing machine, so it's out of the way and I don't keep falling over it.

I got hubby to lower my top shelves so i could reach them easier. Me and ladders dont mix.:o

Haha, if I lowered mine until I could reach them then I'd end up with just a bottom shelf!

On the counter:

Microwave
Toaster
Smoothie Maker
KitchenAid (its so beautiful I wouldnt want to put it in a cupboard!)
Kettle
Coffee Machine

I also have a 4 in 1 Slow Cooker/Rice Cooker/Veg Steamer/Porridge Cooker, in a cupboard, which gets a lot of use, but its too big and ugly to have out all the time.

I have a 6ft tall 14 year old. He's used to me calling him to get something. He usually pats me on the head once he's got said item.
