What kitchen gadgets do you not have that "everyone" has?

[xsquared]

Inspired by the airfryer and Asian way of cooking rice thread, I thought I'd ask which ones you don't have and do you think you're missing out?

I have a student sized airfryer which I use a lot in place of the oven.

I don't have:
• A rice cooker - Having eaten rice everyday growing up, my diet has changed since I left home. I don't miss it and I don't think I'd use it enough to need one. Boiling the rice in a pan of water works perfectly fine for me.

•Slow cooker

• Kitchen Aid - The only time I feel I'm missing out is when recipes talk about using a certain paddle or using a dough hook, but it annoys me because it's an assumption that it's a commonly found kitchen item.

•Bread maker - We probably would use one, to avoid UPF bread, but we lack space.

Blender or Gino ?

No oven!

No microwave, breadmaker (although I do make bread)or air fryer. I basically have an Everhot and a Kitchenaid and I manage fine.

I don’t have a bread maker or rice cooker. I have a slow cooker which I need to throw out as it’s taking up space and I never use it.

We use the air fryer, toaster, kettle and two different types of coffee machine regularly. I have a kenwood mixer not a kitchen aid, and a hand held electric whisk plus a food processor. Those are used sometimes, less regularly.

See my coffee maker is in the space a microwave would go! I couldn’t live without it

Food processor. I can’t stand ‘prepping’ things.

Dishwasher, microwave, airfryer, coffee machine. Do have a dehumidifier stack for making large quantities of eg dried apple, pears etc in season but thinking of using the oven - anything that's big tends not to come out of the back of the cupboard since I have a tiny kitchen.

For those wondering about bread makers, I have two! One is a larger size and good for mixing and baking the bread, the other is smaller and good for making dough for baking in oven. Often both are going at the same time. I have a slicer too which I use mainly for the bread and then freeze it because home made bread really only has a shelf life of a day or two.

I have a KitchenAid, processor, hand mixer, waffle maker, ice cream maker, microwavex2 (bought new integrated one and kept old one until it dies but it's still flying) again often both would be in use at same time. Old style halogen oven, no air fryer and no interest in it, two slow cookers again often both in use, different sizes. Immersion blender for soups/sauces. Pizza oven used less frequently, summer mainly. Everything I have I use regularly enough, funny enough the toaster is probably the least used!

I don't have a rice cooker or a coffee maker.

I do have two freezers as I bake and cook a lot and mainly always frm scratch and in batches so always have a good stock of food frozen. Fortunately I do have a big kitchen.

No air fryer, bread maker, stand mixer, coffee machine or microwave!
Make bread regularly by hand, likewise cakes & scones. Do have an electronic pressure cooker, we're vegetarian and it's great for pulses. A large pan and stick blender does for soup. Have a 1980s food processor still going strong, used for making hummus and chopping nuts & breadcrumbs for roasts.
Love cooking from scratch 😋

I don't have a microwave, and never have, and I don't have an air fryer, nutri bullet or quooker. I manage with an aga or oven and a hob, and a normal kitchen aid stick blender and bowl/jug attachments. They are not so common now, but when they were I didn't have a sandwich toaster either!

I do have a bread maker, but more often that not will make the dough in the kitchen aid mixer and let it prove on the aga. I have always had a decent coffee maker - for the last 15 years a beans to cup sort of thing

A rice cooker, air fryer, bread maker. Don’t need any of them.

I don't have
Boiling water tap (the one at work doesn't brew tea properly)
Rice cooker. I use a saucepan, tea towel and my knuckles.
Nespresso machine: Would take up too much space on my counter

I don't have
An air fryer
Rice cooker
Wok
Food mixer

Yuk!

Why?

She has never said that yet. I'd ask for a refund.

Plates all go in at top temp so no worse than having Nigel Farage use the cutlery.

Yea I don’t have any of those either (nor an air fryer). I do have a boiling water tap though which I wouldn’t be without!

All of the above.

But I do have a chestnut 🌰 🌰 🌰 roaster.

The only one I have from your list is a slow cooker!

i don’t feel like everyone has a kitchen aid, they’re quite expensive. Maybe I don’t know the right people. I would love one tho.

i would love an air fryer tho, but don’t have kitchen space. Hubby would love a coffee machine.

we also don’t have a dishwasher. Hubby and I have made a deal, in the next house, a bigger kitchen is a must and he can have a coffee machine on the provision we get a dishwasher.

I wouldnt ever bin Gino!

Easier to list what I do have.
kettle, cooker, fridge freezer, kitchen aid, toaster, microwave and a hand blender.

An air fryer. I’d like one but it would have to live on my island and I like that to be completely clear and free of clutter. I have a big and little oven though so I don’t really need an air fryer.

I have a rice cooker and use it at least 4 nights a week (I love rice 😂) I use my slow cooker loads at least once a week for casseroles or curries and I use my air fryer a lot as I do not use the big cooker any more. I do not own a kitchen aid or a bread maker and am not sure I would use them much even if I did.

I do have a coffee machine which is in daily use

Genuinely think I’d give up my oven before I gave up my dishwasher.
