I have....a lot of appliances. We have a tiny kitchen, with almost no counter space, so they all live in cabinets (which we have a ton of, for some reason)
yes, us too. Copying/editing your list to start me off
- Burr coffee grinder- used daily. My #1 appliance [yup]
- french press (does that count?)- also used daily [yup]
- drip coffee maker for when company comes (used rarely, lives in a cabinet in the basement)
- microwave (daily)
- Kitchen Aid stand mixer- But it is invaluable for baking. [yup] but used rarely
- portable hand mixer (because I travel and bake sometimes)
- digital scale (moderately often)
- rice cooker (often)
- toaster oven (daily)
- mortar and pestle to grind spices (daily)
- blender/food processor (one motor, two different vessels) blender hardly used, food processor mostly for pesto and grinding nuts
- stick blender - used often (many soups) I find I reach for the stick blender attachments before the food processor, as it's much easier to clean
- Waffle maker [used rarely]
- electric griddle [used weekly, for pancakes, eaten more frequently than waffles]
- hand crank pasta machine [haven't used in a while, but often used in spurts] recently heard that people use a pasta machine to make crackers. want to try that
specialty items that come out just for seasonal cooking:
-meat grinder (just bought, for making liver pate)
-potato ricer (for making chestnut puree- will try in the meat grinder to see if that works)
-mandoline (rarely used)
-dehydrator (used with mandoline-sliced apples, and herbs from the garden)
candy thermometer (for toffee) and digital thermometer (for cheese, so far, just mozzarella and ricotta)
plus, an ice cream maker that I got free from one of my students who was moving. Never used yet, but hope to.
