[BuyOrBake]

What do you have and how often do you use them?

Microwave
Used a lot to reheat meals I have made, handy for teens in and out in-between work and activities.

Airfryer
Used daily. I have one that can be used as two small ones or one large.

Oven
Now only used if cooking large quantities such as batch cooking cakes or when I bake bread and pizza.

Stand mixer
Used a few times a week.

Stick blender
Used almost daily. Dd uses it to mix protein shakes. I use it for blending soup, sauces.

Food processor
Used a few times a month when I need it for large quantities of veg when batch cooking. Also use it for pastry, burgers and breadcrumbs.

Pressure cooker
Old style stove top version. Used a few times a week.

Slow cooker
I have one with a metal pot. Used a few times a week.

Sandwich toaster
Gathering dust somewhere in the back of the cupboard.

Popcorn maker
Used occasionally by the kids.

Crimpit
Used a lot, we put all sorts in and toast in the airfryer.

Senseo Coffee Machine
Used daily, I love that it uses coffee pods with no plastic waste.

The oven, hob, kettle and microwave are used daily. I have a double oven and use the small one more often than the large one.
Coffee machine, toaster and slow cooker used weekly.
Stick blender, food processor, electric whisk roughly monthly.
Bread maker and George Forman grill used occasionally.
Racceltte machine used maybe twice a year, but it's good fun and the kids love it.

Airfryer
Use it a couple of times a week

Oven
Again, couple of times a week for things that don't fit in the airfryer like pizza and casseroles

Stand mixer
Few times a week

Food processor
Once a week when batch cooking

Stick blender
Once a week or so, for soup or when I cba to clean the food processor...much easier to rinse the stick blender 😅

Coffee machine
Multiple times a day

That's it! No microwave or gadgets really. Do most of the cooking and prep on a Sunday so everything is in glass storage boxes in the fridge ready to be reheated/cooked on the day. Takes a good few hours in the morning but saves us a ton of time through the week.

My air fryer, slow cooker, yogurt maker and pressure cooker are all wrapped up in the same Ninja, used daily for one thing or another. I use the microwave to make eggs and porridge most mornings. My food processor gets used multiple times a week and lives on the counter. I don't use a stick blender but have soup maker/ blender that gets used a couple of times a week. I have a bread maker I use to keep my kid with coeliacs going three times a week.

Bean to cup coffee machine, several times a day.
Aga, constant use, boils the kettle, makes excellent toast/ toasted sandwiches plus usual cooking.
Airfryer and instant pot really only get used in summer when the Aga gets switched off.
