Which kitchen appliances do you use most?

[juliahenry]

Of all the small appliances that take up space in your kitchen, what do you use most? And what do you think is really worth having?

What do you use least?

I guess for us the things we use the most are the toaster and the rice cooker, followed by the stand mixer. The fondue pot is the least useful thing I own. It seemed like a good idea at the time...

You?

The most: slow cooker, steamer, toaster oven

The least: stand mixer, blender

[pamela]

most - coffee pot, slow cooker, toaster
least - mixer, blender, waffle maker

want to use more - waffle maker, food processor, but need one with a larger cup to be useful and a stand mixer, don't have one but think I could make use of it.

Hands down, we use the keurig the most. Followed by the blender.

We rarely use our stand mixer or toaster, which are the other two small appliances that sit on the counter.

[yellowbrkrd]

Most: Crockpot, toaster, microwave
Least: Coffee pot, blender

We use the Keurig daily. We don't own appliances that don't get frequent use - I've given things away because we don't have storage space and I hate clutter.

Most - coffee maker, crock pot, stand mixer

Least - food processor (I think this is bc we keep it in the pantry and its a PiTA to set up imo), nespresso, deep fryer (that H just haaaaad to have....)

[heyrebekah]

Most--food processor, rice cooker
Least--blender, toaster, Keurig, nespresso
I only use my stand mixer a few times a year, but it's still my favorite because it's so awesome when I do use it.

Slow cooker, rice cooker, standmixer.

Then Microwave, Vitamix, food processor

[joenali]

Toaster, microwave and slow cooker. I only have the toaster and microwave on the counter.

[rubytue]

Most: toaster oven, coffee pot, rice cooker, and crock pot

Medium use: stand mixer, immersion blender, mini food processor.

Low use (not even stored in the kitchen): big food processor (the bowl had been busted for months), turkey roaster (not an appliance, but thinking about it bc I just dig it out of the basement this morning), blender.

Daily: vitamix, toaster, tassimo, microwave

Weekly: bread maker

Monthly: slow cooker, stand mixer, waffle iron.

I don't use our food processor at all now that I have the vitamix.

Toaster, Nespresso, soda stream, and Microwave are used daily and in the winter our hot chocolate maker (milk frother/warmer pot) - is used at least once a week.

Slow cooker and waffle iron are used at least once a month

Blender, food processor and stand mixer are used a few times a year.

[RoxMonster]

Most: Keurig, slow cooker, toaster
Least/never: panini maker, George Foreman grill

[holly116]

Microwave, mixer, slow cooker, coffee pot, toaster oven all get regular use.

I'm using our blender more making baby food but hardly ever use our food processor.. Too many parts.

My husband had to have a juicer, probably hasn't been used in 2 years. We don't use our waffle maker either.

[Deleted]

My blender and stand mixer each get used several times a week.

Sent from my DROID3 using proboards

[boiler717]

All of these get used at least several times a month:
Coffee maker
Immersion blender
Food processor
Griddler
Stand mixer

I do not use the slow cooker very often or the waffle maker. The waffle maker is more of a good thing to have with guests.

[heygrey]

Most: toaster, electric kettle (paired with a French press for coffee)
Least: microwave.

We actually just got rid of our microwave because we couldn't remember when we last used it.

[magpie]

Several times per week/almost daily: coffee maker, rice cooker, stick blender (for smoothies)

Never use: slow cooker, regular blender, fondue pot (though I do actually use this about once a year).

[AAM2012]

The most: coffee maker

The least: blender and rice cooker (never used it).

[whitepicketfence]

Most: Coffee pot, Kitchenaid mixer, veggie steamer, crockpot

Least: Blender, waffle maker

[Deleted]

Most: coffee maker, regular toaster

Medium: espresso machine (H makes " fancy coffee" 1-2 times/ week), stand mixer (cookie dough, pizza dough, any reason we can find because it's fun to play with), crock-pot (especially in the fall/ winter).

Least: bread machine; takes up a TON of space and is rarely used.

[Deleted]

Most: coffee pot, toaster

Occasional: kitchen aid mixer, crock pot, blender

Rarely: waffle irons, food processors, soda stream, electric fry pan, electric grill, foreman grill, juicer

[bluelikejazz]

Most (left out): soda stream, toaster
Used frequently (but has a storage space): crock pot, chemex,
Less freqently: stand mixer, food processor, panini press

[agnes]

For only me...

Most: toaster and microwave
Medium: stand mixer and rice cooker
Least: blender
Never: crock pot and coffee pot

But other people in house use the stuff I don't use

[Kore]

Most: coffee pot

Monthly: Cuisinart food processor, kitchenaid mixer, crockpot

Never ever used: fondue pot, juicer

[M]

Most: definitely the toaster oven. I use it toast bread, bake stuff, cook dinner, etc. I couldn't live without it.

Least: Microwave. We dont' even have one in our vacation rental that we are at one week a month. The only reason we have one in our main house is because it's built in.

Keurig is not used much either. I'm thinking about giving it to my brother whose fiance just decided she wanted one. It doesn't make strong/good enough coffee. My 7y.o. Mr.Coffee coffee maker still does a better job. And a bag of starbucks ground coffee is cheaper than kcups.

[audette]

Tea Kettle and Rice Cooker. Both see use pretty much every day, sometimes more than once.


I'm actually going thru this line of thinking, because we need to get all new kitchen appliances (or run them thru a transformer) soon. I'm trying to figure out what we could do without, and what are must-buys. Kettle, rice cooker, crock pot, hand mixer, stick blender, and maybe a food processor. Maybe a coffee pot, too, but that would only be for guests.

[megalicious]

Most: Microwave, toaster, & Keurig get daily use and are the only things that get counter space.

Least: Toaster oven has only made it out of my cupboard once in the last 4 years... it's about to get down graded to the attic to make room for the slow cooker I bought on Black Friday. Also my blender. It's a pita. if I need something small mixed/chopped/blended, it's easier to get out the little magic bullet instead (although I'm not crazy about that ether). My mixer only comes out for special occasions.
