Most used appliance?

[canetoad]

Not the big ones, so leave out stove, fridge, dishwasher. I'd even say leave out the microwave as they are so ubiquitous.

Your kitchen appliances; which three do you use most frequently?

Mine:

1. Food processor
2. Electric frypan
3. Benchtop convection oven

[Tesha]

1. ahhh, let's see...

1. Food Processor - bread at least once a week
2. Toaster oven - warming, toasting, reheating
3. Bar blender - for soups

[cbayer]

2. I have very few, but if you are talking electric devices:

coffee grinder
handheld blender

actually, those are the only ones I have

:rofl:

3. Ummmm......Let's See

I don't have a whole lot of small kitcen appliances: a blender, an ice cream maker, a quesadilla maker, a George Foreman grill, three coffeemakers (12 cup, 4 cup, single cup), a stick blender, a KitchenAid mixer, a small handheld mixer, a mini food processor, a mini blender, an electric grill, a rotisserie. Ooops, more appliances here than I thought. I probably should get rid of a bunch of them.

I've never used the rotisserie. Been years since I used the electric grill - and it's a pain to clean. The KtchenAid mixer is actually in the garage since it does not fit in or under any of my kitchen cabinets. I rarely use a mixer and when I do I usually just reach for the small handheld mixer. The quesadilla maker was a novelty gift and hasn't been used in quite some time. The blender and ice cream maker get used a couple of times a year. I keep the larger coffeemakers for when I have guests - but I do not regularly use them.

The appliances that are used regularly include the small George Foreman grill, the single cup coffeemaker, the mini food processor, the mini blender, and the stick blender.

Which do I use most often?
1. Probably a toss-up between the single cup cofreemaker and the mini blender which makes a single smoothie or protein drink. One of the two is used daily.
2. The small George Foreman grill. Gets used at least once every couple of weeks.
3. Probably a toss-up between the stick blender and the mini food processor. I use the stick blender in soups. THe mini food processor is used whenever I need to shop something into finer pieces than I am willing to do by hand.

I think the rotisserie and the electric grill will go in the next garage sale.

7. Ooooops - I forgot

the toaster oven and the rice cooker. Funny since I use them both quite a bit.

New List:
1. A toss-up between the single cup cofreemaker, the mini blender and the toaster oven.
2. The rice cooker.
3. The small George Foreman grill.
4. A toss-up between the stick blender and the mini food processor.

4. My list is boring:

1. coffeemaker - used every day!
2. toaster - used at least 4 or 5 times a week.
3. mixer - used about once a week.

on edit: In the summer, I use the blender more often than the mixer, since I'm not baking, but I am making icy drinks.

[GoCubsGo]

10. My list...

1. toaster oven
2. coffee maker
3. immersion blender

I love my immersion blender. It will be getting even more use now that the soup season coming up.

[ejpoeta]

11. well, of what we have....

we use the coffee maker daily, sometimes more than once. i have a kitchenaid mixer that i use all the time. I make bread, pizza dough, rolls etc. It helps because my hands hurt when I do stuff and without it I don't think I could do as much as I do. I go through phases. I will do a lot of baking and then not do any for awhile.

I have a hand can opener. We had one of those ones you put on top which used all the time until it would die in the middle of opening a can. I lamented the lack of rechargeable can opener. Went back to the hand one . it's hard because sometimes my hand doesn't like to grip things. It can hurt pretty bad. So my husband bought an electric can opener which sits in the cupboard and I still use the hand one. When I can't grip the can opener I pull that out.

I have a food processor which I use for onions and making bread crumbs when I can find all the pieces. I also have a pampered chef chopper which I use when I can't find the blade for the food processor and for things like mushrooms and green peppers.

I had a toaster oven, but I didn't use it. It sucked for making toast. It was ok for other stuff, but I tend to do evaluations every once in awhile to determine if I use something enough to keep it around. That seemed to take up space but collect dust.

12. basic stuff...

coffee maker

toaster

immersion blender

[NJCher]

14. funny you should ask

Ours are:

immersion blender
toaster
Foreman grill
electric skillet
slow cooker
bread maker
rice cooker
Thermomix (like a blender, can heat)

I would say the top three are:

Thermomix
slow cooker
electric skillet

A coffee maker would be in there, but I make coffee with a drip filter.

The reason I said "funny you should ask" in my subject heading is that I recently decided to get more regular use from my small appliances, so I take them out on a rotating basis and put them on the counter and then make something with it. I let the appliance give me the inspiration instead of a recipe, a craving, or what's on sale at the grocery store.

15. Coffe maker, Hobart Kitchen Aid mixer, toaster

I make coffee every morning. Bread once or twice a week, toast every so often.

Crock pot would be next - I use it two or three times a month. Can opener very little any more since I've cut back on canned foods. The food processor and blender get very little use, toaster oven even less.

16. Manual coffee grinder. Daily use.

[canetoad]

17. It should come as no surprise

that coffee maker is on most lists. I actually like the second cheapest brand of instant and would never think of buying a machine.

Totals so far:

Coffeemaker 7
Stick/immersion blender 7
Mixer 5
Toaster 4
Toaster/benchtop oven 4
Food/mini processor 3
Blender 3
Grill 2
Coffee grinder 2
Electric frypan/skillet 2
Slow cooker 1
Rice cooker 1

manual can opener ..... 1 :)

18. We don't have a coffee maker, we use a Melitta, as my husband only has one cup in the morning here

And then a cup when he gets to work. I drink tea, so I would say our electric kettle is the most used small appliance. Then the toaster and finally the immersion blender, wouldn't want to do without them.

[Glassunion]

19. My wife would say her most used appliance is her

Husband.

Her husband would say...
Coffee brewer
Electric skillet
Food processor

[Lugnut]

20. Coffee maker..

2. manual can opener
3. stick blender
4. hand mixer

[DrDan]

21. far and away - my Kitchen Aid mixer
