Some of these are ridiculous I know—


Waffle maker — the double sided one you flip like at Hampton Inns
Kitchen aid mixer (and attachment to make pasta )
Deep fryer
Egg poachers
Avocado slicer and peeler
Nice ceramic avocado shaped and chili pepper shaped for serving guacamole and salsa (so cute abs cheap. Bought at hardware store)
Instant pot (have that for two years; use it almost every day)
Beville pizza maker (takes a lot of getting used too)
Small rice maker for one or two servings.
Toaster oven.
Some slicer thing that turns zucchini into pasta curls
Coconut bowls for smoothies (this was my daughter. Tic tok thing )
Fun soup platter for soup and salad/bread (uncommon goods)
Guacamole container that preserves for a number of days
2 Dutch ovens from le crueset (different sizes; worth the money)
Water melon peeler. And a separate water roll in cutter that goes over entire watermelon and cuts in slices.
Plastic spoons where you insert an Oreo and dunk in milk (my daughter laughs about this one)
Spinning cake plate and frosting knife and accessories for different designs.

I know this is a lot of stuff/money. But it has paid for itself with the money I have saved not ordering out!

😀
Have a medium sized kitchen and lots of junk drawers


The most shocking thing about this list is that guacamole lasts for days in your house. It’s gone in an hour over here. No matter how much I make.

On the stove cooking is fine, but sometimes it spilles over and it is hard to clean the burner.


Absolutely worth it. Lots of Options and price point. Or use instant pot.

What is good is you turn it on and leave alone. It switches to a warm setting after the rice cooks. You don’t have to watch over it at all.

Ooooh...what frothed did you get? My kids are campaigning for one so they can make fancy hot chocolate and steamers at home.

+1 for the immersion blender.

I bought a dough whisk and digital scale - both are life changing.


I was wondering that, too. Kids love the hot chocolate frothed and I love it for chai latte. I need a new immersion blender, so would love recs for that. Or a magic took that can both froth and blend!

A knife sharpener, a cutting board, and a sense of adventure (or humor).

Of course I have a knife sharpener, how could I not? I am seriously obsessed with knives. I also hate cleaning all the gadgets. Most of things people posted here are really just a knife.

Something unusual you probably don’t have is this Dutch bottle licker (translated meaning). Perfect for getting the last out of bottles. My spouse is Dutch. We also have a Dutch stroopwafel pan to make your own stroopwafels which are getting pretty popular in the US.

We also have a pan that is used for making breakfast sandwiches where you cook eggs in sections and waffle type breads at the same time in one pan. I actually use it frequently to make kids breakfast sandwiches. I can shower in the time it takes to bake and then breakfast is done.



I like that concept. I'm the person who scrapes and scrapes the inside of the mayo jar (to get it all but also to make cleaning for recycling less disgusting).


I have something similar that's just a regular silicone spoon.

This is not “fun” but is the best peeler ever, and I need to buy a second b/c only having one is annoying.

+1. I've had my Aerolatte since the early 90s and I love it. Also a huge fan of my Vitamix and my Magic Line baking pans (straight sides) and sharp corners.
