I hate small kitchen appliances
Comments (18)I love gadgets and kitchen appliances. I work in a kitchen store and do catering when asked so kitchen items are part of my daily life. I think it comes down to I just like to cook and bake(bake mostly) and the appliances are part of the that. The only small appliances I keep out on my counter are the toaster and the coffee maker. Everything else is on the selves in the pantry or in the kitchen cabinets. I use my KA mixer and Cuisinart FP the most. Bowls, beaters and blades go in the dishwasher so clean up isn't a problem. Wipe down the outside of the appliances with a damp paper towel and it's done. They go back into the pantry. There are times thou, that I just like doing things by hand. Making pasta dough comes to mind. I still have a mess on the counter to clean up so I don't think you will ever get away from the cleaning part whether you use small appliances or not. I second the advice of selling the items you don't want/use on EBay. Recoup some of your money and get storage space for something that you will use.

Comments (11)Eight inch chef's knife. I have room for whatever I want, but I think I'm going to get rid of my crockpot. It's very big, and with my new kitchen it has lost all allure. My mother has a teeny tiny kitchen, but even with the tiny counters there's a KitchenAid mixer and a Cuisinart. An immersion blender is more multi-purpose useful than a motor mounted jar blender. I have a number of specialized cutting tools and gadgets, but they don't take up much room. I inherited an electric skillet which I've never used. I may send it to my studio for melting wax. I only use my toaster oven for toasting, and could easily give it up. I love my automatic egg cooker (had one of those growing up), but it's getting a little beyond its age, and I don't really need it. I have a jar blender which I haven't taken out of the box since moving into my new kitchen a year ago. My list is POST new kitchen though. In the old kitchen, I used the toaster oven much more. I couldn't boil eggs without the egg cooker. I needed the crockpot, and some of the others. Be careful before you downsize. Especially, keep in mind what you might need for a temporary kitchen when you are ready to remodel. Maybe you should box up the things you don't think you need and relocate them to the garage or somewhere out of your way. Then you can see if you really don't need them, or go get them if you want them, and have them for the eventual temporary kitchen....See MoreSmall appliance for kitchen
Comments (26)I believe you can use the new George for pannini. The tiny old one we have doesn't have removable grills or a deep hinge so it's hard to get thick slices of bread in there but it works great as a press. Besides burgers and grilled cheese on bread we have done psuedo-(ham and cheese) pannini and quesadillas (just have to fold tortilla in half instead of using 2). I would go for a larger GF instead of separate appliances. Of course, KA attachment is good idea too. With ground turkey at $5/lb, I told DH it was worth $50 to get grinder and use Artisan - grinder would pay for itself in 6 months or less! Being an engineer, I'll have to check out the link on thermometers. I hate my digital (not instant read) - it was off 50 degrees and I ruined a $15 roast last month! I usually don't use it, just go by time but I'd never cooked a "spoon roast" b4 and the butcher told me to cook it by temp.
