Outside of the essential appliances like your stove and refrigerator, what are your "can't do without" kitchen/Cooking appliances and why can't you do without them? Also, on average how often do you use them?

It's 16 years old and is a beast. I use it 4-5 times a week for everything and never had a problem.

I just used a Vitamix for the first time ever the other day. I had always heard how amazing they were and would evangelize about them but had never actually experienced the AMAZING BLENDING POWER. It was insane. I know they are expensive, but anyone out there reading this who blends stuff on the regular, you really should consider a Vitamix. You can buy refurbished ones for a little less, and they have a good warranty if I recall correctly.

As for for me, it's a manual can opener. Specifically a Swing-A-Way.

I've used one of those new fancy ones that cut the lid in a certain way so that there are no sharp edges, but it's just not the same. I like an element of danger when I want to eat canned beans. Adds to the flavor.

You mean the vitamix? It's AMAZING. Very powerful.

Or the Ninja Chopper? I just use it for dicing onions, celery, chicken etc.

I've never used the Ninja Bullet tho.

Sorry I meant the vitamix, have you tried the bullet.

It's easier cleanup and you can pretty much throw the entire fruit/veggie like the vitamix. I like the compact size too.

I think I will. The Vitamix is mainly used at family parties for making alcoholic drinks :eyeroll:

Hubby bought me one for my birthday last year with the food processor attachment. I haven't touched it. Don't know what to do with it. Never realized I liked doing everything by hand also I'm not good at instructions.

My Cuisinart Keurig - I like it because I can use the cups or loose ground coffee/tea; I use it daily.

My rice cooker (generic) - Husband eats a ton of rice, and I make it in bulk. I use it a couple times a week because I make a few days worth each time.

My sandwich maker (generic) - Nothing like some delicious cheese pressed and melted between two slices of my favorite whole grain bread. I use it several times a week.

My husband LOVES the attachments...he just bought this for me at Kohl's for $50 on some insane special. I can't wait until Apple season gets here...there is gonna be jelly, apple butter, applesauce, dried apple slices and Apple pie filling like tomorrow's never gonna come!


But I have to say my electric frying pan...I can cook anything in that sucker!

Apples, I have a couple of trees but they are good for cider but I live in Michigan where apples are plentiful and cheap...I found them for 10 cents a lb. last year...I couldn't drive by the place without buying 50lbs.

Co-sign on the Crock Pot and French Press! When the French Press carafe cracked and I had to wait for the new one to arrive...

I had to use my mini-French Press, which makes much less coffee.

Another appliance we use a lot is the Griddler. It doesn't take up a ton of space and can be used for making pancakes or burgers.
