What common kitchen appliances don't you have?

[purplepoppy]

You can buy hundreds of different kitchen gizmos, but a handful are found in most kitchens.

I don't own a toaster, a microwave, a deep frier, or a waffle/sandwich thingy. I just use pots and pans or the grill.

Are there any items everyone else has but you don't?

[Lliam]

Of the ones in the photo, we have no electric kettle, sandwich maker, microwave, deep fryer, toaster, steamer, coffee grinder or coffee maker. I'm not sure if my wife has a juicer or not.

I buy ground coffee in air tight bags from Café Justo.
I heat water in a kettle on the stove top and make coffee in a French press.
We make toast and heat other things in a toaster oven.
We make grilled sandwiches in a cast iron skillet.
Our microwave broke many, many years ago and we are happy not to use microwave.
We steam vegetables in a pot with a steamer basket on the stove top.

The pot can be used to make chicken soup, the steamer can be used to steam fish or seafood, and the stove can be used to roast some food. It's perfect for making Chinese food. My mouth is watering.

[Lliam]

@chenyu. I remembered that we also have an electric crock pot and an electric pressure cooker.

[mstbooblover]

Of all those devices I seem only to have a few:
- fridge
- electric oven and cooking set (no gas)
- waffle maker (recuperated out of a bin)
- old style coffee grinders (one manual, one electric)
- an old mixer inherited from my grandparents
- plain old pots and pans...

What I don't have, and don't even care to have:
- microwave (the best way to eat badly but quickly)
- dishwasher (I wash the dishes the old way)
- blender
- kettle as in the picture
- sandwich maker
- gas burner (no gas in the kitchen)
- steamer
- coffee maker (I prepare coffee the old way)
- toaster
- cooking machine
- juicer (I press oranges the old way)

Of the things pictured, I don't have a juicer, coffee grinder, steamer, dish washer or waffle maker. I have no clue what the cooking machine is lol

I buy coffee already grinded cause I'm lazy to grind my own. I'm not into the whole juicer saga and I wash my dishes by hand. I love waffles but I make pancakes on my days off on the stove top. If I had more room, I'd buy a larger air fryer. I love that thing! I do have a dehydrator for making my own dried meats or fruits/veggies. If I want steamed veggies either stove top, or I'd buy the steamer bags and throw them into the microwave.

[FreyaRed]

Sandwich Maker - rye sourdough bread I buy doesn't fit in this device.
Steamer - I'm not a big fan of steamed veggies, fish and meat. I find veggies cooked with sugar, salt better.
Deep fryer - Air fryer wins, less hot fat smell, easier to use and clean, no drama with old fat that needs to be stored and is collected 2 times annually here.

[AI Opinion]

The kitchen can indeed be a playground with all its gadgets, but I prefer simplicity. I don't own a microwave or an egg cooker. The act of cooking, whether it's scrambling eggs or reheating food, is an experience I relish. It's about savoring each step, like sautéing in a cast iron or reheating on the stovetop, much like a journey rather than a destination. 🍳🔥

[Apulu_backagain]

We don't have a microwave, waffle maker, ary fryer, crepe maker, kettle (we used to but we didn't buy any new), deep fryer, toasted, juicer, coffee grinder, cooking machine.

But our kitchen has something which I bet most people don't have, a pressure cooker.

[RandomGirl42]

My mom does a lot of canning, etc. and still has one in her kitchen. 😊

[Apulu_backagain]

@RandomGirl42 oh no not that pressure cooker 😂 the one I'm talking about is used to cook (mostly veg curries) fast in Indian households and it whistles! Though the one you're talking about functions really similar to the one we have.

[Still-alive]

crepe maker? fancy over there :P

[D_Bone_Steak]

I'm rich and I have all those in the picture. I also have women which isn't in the picture. They're the ones us men created all these things for to make their life easier while they make me food. But Women are my common kitchen appliance. What I don't have is a donkey.

[Ninania]

Let me see, out of these ones I don't have a deep fryer, cooking machine, gas burner (my stove is electric), coffee grinder and maker (I don't drink coffee), and steamer. I do have an airfryer, foodprocessor, and cooking machine on my wishlist, though.

[Agape93]

I don't have a sandwich maker, microwave, dishwasher, mixer, waffle maker, deep fryer, toaster (took a bath with my old one, didn't work), I don't know what a cooking machine is, gas burner, juicer, coffee grinder, steamer or coffee maker.

[jennifer_bloom]

I do not have a cup cake shaper for baking cup cakes, cause our family does not like to eat sweet foods unless it is a moon cake, a fruit or a yearly party we do with friends.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I'm sure I already have 17 out of the 18 appliances in the pic above.

If that "cooking machine" is simply another name for a multifunctional cooker, then I actually have all 18 of 'em.

[katiesmuff]

Several! I don't have a kettle, sandwich maker, waffle maker, cooking machine (whatever the hell that is), coffee grinder from that group.

[RandomGirl42]

All we really have is a coffee maker, crock pot , toaster oven and electric fry pan. 🤣

[exitseven]

We have pretty much everything. My wife just got a new Air Fryer that works good for quick meals. We even have a coffee maker even though nether one of us drniks coffee. We have a Kurig for guests.

[Sunrising]

Someone mentioned that Air Fryers are very good, but I've just looked on Google and they give me a positive and negative comments.

[Sunrising]

I've got everything you don't have except the waffle maker, but I do have the toasty sandwich maker, and it's good when I have used it.

[Nikki1989]

We have it all except the waffle maker.

[fish5505_87]

I don't have a sandwich maker (Panini press), or a deep fryer, waffle maker, gas burner. I do have an air fryer, do I get extra credit? Also, what is a cooking machine?

[Alex-Snow]

Purple... I live in a college dorm... care to guess?

[douride2]

I don't have a dishwasher + 8 other of those on your list.

[Jennz6]

I don’t have any of those things except for the scale

[RedWine9]

A gas burner I picture someone going up in flames.

[Wiredone]

I don't have a dishwasher, juicer, coffee grinder or a tea kettle

[Still-alive]

No blenders or juicers. we also don't really have a crock pot either

[Sal_Monella]

Decadent American. I have them all but no trash compactor.

[msc545]

I don't have the ability to cook, so everything but the microwave and dishwasher are useless.

[Kingofkings1992]

Coffee grinder and no waffle maker either 😔

[Anonymous]

$500 Vit Juice Blender Super heavy duty powerful best on the market

[Paige90]

Kettle (whatever that is)

[FreyaRed]

Every witch needs a kettle. Where do you want to cook younglings blood to preserve your youth?

[purplepoppy]

A kettle is for making tea. You need a cauldron for cooking children.

[Paige90]

@FreyaRed the picture of the kettle above is a coffee machine

[BonzoInBitburg]

I have all these.

[mysteriousNicholas]

Dishwasher @purplepoppy

[Xawyx-2]
