What Appliances Can You Do Without, and Which Do you Like?

[Fern]

Like to Use:

Rotisserie oven, saves energy compared to using the big oven
Microwave oven, same as above, plus quick
Pressure cooker: Saves time and energy, plus steams everything so is healthy to boot
Toaster oven: saves energy


Dont' bother with anything else cus it all takes up too much counter space

i'd like to get a bread machine cus who has time to do it the old fashioned way these days?

Ditto the toaster and microwave
Also a hand blender (a must for making baby food)
air popped popcorn maker (I prefer the taste.)
Ice cream maker (again we prefer the taste, less sweet more cream)
Kitchenaid, I mix most stuff in it.


things I would like:
crockpot!

At my garage sale, I am getting rid of my air popped popcorn maker and my bread machine, too bad we don't live closer!! I also have a coffee pot we don't use! I never drink coffee. I have some kind of sandwich grill thing, that is brand new (MIL gave it to me and never used it)

Pop corn maker. Belgian waffle maker.

Those are two things I can do without.


Microwave, toater oven, kitchen aid, are things I really appreciate.

I could probably live without all of them, as long as you left me my stove. I do like my coffee maker (but am looking for a Chemex), and my crockpot. I've grown accustomed to my microwave, we have an uneasy truce. Blender for shakes.

It may not count as an appliance but I love my Universal grinder.

My Guy had electric waffle maker, didn't like. No we have a stovetop, it's great.

I really dislike dishwashers, not sure why.

oooh I've always wanted a waffle maker, my mom had one when I was a kid and they tasted way better than the frozen kind.. I order them when we go out anytime around breakfast.

but really I could live without all of it, I just don't.....

My hand mixer has a grinder attachment, whihc I really like, small and useful.

Must have: microwave, toaster, coffeemaker (for DH), crockpot. I really like my breadmaker, but rarely use it anymore, so I guess I could do without it.
Don't need: air popper (DH showed me how to air pop in a paper bag in the microwave), quesadilla maker (got this as a gift - thought it was great, but have only used it twice)

Princess: you want a waffle maker, I'll mail you one (parcel post, cheap and slow). Electric, "EasyClean Belgian Wafflemaker Toastmaster" if you want to look for a picture or specs.

[PrincessPerky]

wafflemaker

Is that the one? you are so sweet..I'll email you my address, (and let me pay for the postage)

[lrjohnson]

I think it's more like this one. ; a little less fancy, but fine. Used maybe five or so times. I'll check my personal messages for your address.

It's funny, this was in my Goodwill box, and I swear I was thinking of a way to post items like this-nice but not heavy-on the 100 post area. As like a "payment" for the value I get out of this site. I couldn't think of a way to do it cleanly, and you saved me! The postage really should be negligible, I'll cover, as a Frugal Act of Kindness. Parcel post isn't much, and my May entertainment and gift budgets can handle it.

[PrincessPerky]

Well that one is more like the one I had when I was a kid, even better if you ask me!

[shelbylovesmelby]

I really like my:
Microwave
Toaster Oven(I make chicken, porkchops, mini pizza's ect in there in summer, heats up the house less)
George Foreman grill
hand blender

I'd like a Dishwasher but mine's (dh) been on strike for a while *LOL*

I don't use my crock pot very often or my waffle maker very often either.
