Necessary and not very kitchen appliances

[# 1 Dishwasher]

My rating (from "most" to "not most"). It is rather small, due to the very compact kitchen and rented apartment (in which case you don't want to transport extra devices). So any purchase is weighed inside and out. I exclude the refrigerator from the rating, as it is out of competition in usefulness.

Needed:

# 1 Dishwasher... Well that's the truth. Without her, there would be much less culinary zeal.

No. 2 Steamer - all side dishes, cutlets and much, much more on it. (And its trays are convenient to wash at point one.)

# 3 Blender submersible brown - all marinades (there is a vacuum nozzle and a couple of containers), dressings, sauces, omelettes, etc. (And its parts are also convenient to wash in the first step)

No. 4 Bread Maker - so far only in 4th place due to the short experience of mutual communication. But she, I sense, has every chance to take a solid place next to 2-3. (it's a pity that you can't wash it at the first point, however, there is nothing special to wash there)

No. 5 Oven - after replacing a very ancient stove with just an ancient one and with a working oven, I began to use it. But in view of its multiple features, it is normal and active to use it a little desire.

Unnecessary:


№1 Egg cooker - was presented for the wedding at my own request. Because of my great love for "soft-boiled" eggs and "interference". But with the arrival of the steamer, she safely went into the closet. Fantasy is not enough to imagine a case that it would have to be put into action again.

This is actually all available. This is how rational we are. But I will add the following points, since I had an active experience of communicating with devices during my life with my parents. That is why I don't have them at home.

No. 2 Convection oven - in the presence of a normal convection oven is not needed at all. In the presence of at least some kind of oven in general - too, in fact. If there is no oven at all, it may still be, although I would have started looking for a roaster (mini-oven) for myself.

No. 3 Microwave - is needed to warm up quickly, and this is my unkillable opinion. Although I cooked dumplings in it, I remember. But under conditions of limited space, give the square. m. of its area is just a heating pad for food .... no thanks, I'll wait another 5 minutes and heat it in a double boiler (or on the stove).

No. 4 Coffee maker - in the version in which it can really be useful costs money. And all that is simple .... well, my mother has a simple delongue, she tried coffee from a Turk, bought herself a Turk and since then I don’t know at all if she turns on her machine. Despite the fact that he was solemnly assigned a place on a special shelf ..

No. 5 Kitchen Combine - got rid of mine after buying a blender. Because it took up a lot of space, but it was useless ...
I'll put it as a separate item juicer and pancake maker... These are useful things, but very seasonal. Especially the juicer. But since we got them, don't throw them away. It’s worth waiting for the summer season, and sometimes I sculpt pancakes according to my mood (and with a bad stove it’s even convenient, at least the T is kept even) ..

Interesting even the most. Not just electrical. but I will also list some mechanical devices.

I do not use or hardly use:

chocolate maker
pressure cooker (I like it much less multi)
deep fryer (went to her husband's brother)
toaster (but we probably forgot about it)
electric juicers (if they use them, then the husband)
berner
freezer. but I will use it.
little things: like a press for the formation of cutlets, a thing for making donuts (I remembered what it is called - a dispenser), cleaning for fish, confectionery nozzles (I hope that I will still use them),confectionery thermometer (until I realized whether it was needed, I used it 2 or 3 times)

Necessary (not obvious. Because it is somehow inconvenient to write about a refrigerator, stove and dishwasher)):

Multicooker (yeah, I just wrote it with a capital letter)
bread maker
mixer (and now, hopefully, a new Kenwood combine)
small manual grater for cheese, chocolate (see previous note)
tenderizer and grill pan included
electronic scales
fondue. totally brilliant for a quick party
citrus juicer
niser-diser

I want ... now I want a robotic vacuum cleaner))) for 3 hours as I want))

Necessary:

electric meat grinder
bread maker
microwave (for heating)
refrigerator + freezer (large!)
stove with oven (of course!)

Needed:
harvester (grater first)
coffee grinder
citrus juicer
juicer (for large volumes of apple juice - in the village)

Once a year (but you could have done):
mixer
blender
electric waffle iron
harvester (almost all functions except grater)
juicer

I will never buy or disagree as a gift:
although...
yogurt maker
chocolates
ice maker
deep fryer
airfryer
dishwasher
egg cooker
a coffee maker (maybe for work)
pancake maker

[I use och often]

[I often use:]

I often use:

Email teapot
microwave oven
rice cooker
slow cooker
Bread maker
Berner vegetable cutter
minicoper

Less often, but also necessary things in the kitchen:

harvester
all sorts of mixers
dough rolling \ cutting
I don’t, due to various circumstances, but the technique I really need is:

dishwasher


pizza maker


freezer


teacup

I can't imagine how you can live without a combine! I have a blender, mixer, graters and some kitchen knives left to live on the mezzanine!

From virtual equipment, the purchase of which was:
* I'm not going to buy a yoghurt maker, although I started making homemade fermented milk. I decided that a thermos is more convenient for me.
* I'm going to buy a multicooker (or rather, a pressure cooker), but my need for it is purely mobile, that is, when I am with my children outside the house, I want to have sufficient independence from any cafes.
* And I want an ice cream maker. Let her be a toy, but I just want her.

Over the year, the situation with technology has changed somewhat.
* I got a yoghurt maker, I do not use it every day, but regularly (it turned out to be very convenient 1.5 liter containers, I never used jars).
* This is my second electric pressure cooker (the first went to my father-in-law).
* Got a multicooker, and in addition to them - a small rice cooker. So, the baby works two or three times more often than a standard multicooker (I cook in it all the crumbly cereals, potatoes, chicken pieces, etc.).
* The 3 liter slow cooker is used for stewing all kinds of meatballs / meat / vegetables and very often for preparing baked milk.
By the way, the multicooker actually justifies itself as an off-site kitchen (for a friend, the usual clathronic rice cooker can handle this).
* The ice cream maker is used very infrequently, but with great pleasure.

The most interesting was to make a list:
NEEDED, VERY AND VERY
dishwasher
bread maker (I can't even imagine how I lived without it)
microwave (only for warming up - but as convenient)
good oven

Well, just very necessary things
grill, kitchen harvester, blender, el. scales, dough sheeter, oven thermometer and temperature probe.

I use it very rarely, but it is necessary to have
meat grinder, toaster, yogurt maker, mixer, waffle maker, liver maker, pancake maker, all sorts of whisks, scrapers, little things that make life easier - just a whole cupboard in the kitchen.

That is, but it’s a pity for the money thrown away - it’s a ham maker, for six months of use and heaps of translated products - it never happened that straight AH-Here it is! I changed the recipes, and the cooking method - due to the springs, it squeezes out all the juices and it turns out garbage.

I want, I just dream of a robot vacuum cleaner. I will collect money by autumn - I will buy it. In Ukraine, they cost almost 2 times more than in Russia. It's a shame

I would also have bought an ice maker, a chocolate maker.

But what you don't want is an airfryer, slow cooker, marinator, cupcake makers, donut-making machine (I don't remember what it's called), coffee makers, egg cookers, slicers. I once thought about buying a pizza oven, but got a baking stone in the oven - now I don't need it.

[A set of Lagos knives (15 pieces) by BergHOFF]

Each of us had purchases after which we want to spit. Let's share experiences so that others do not step on the same rake. And it's not about marriage, but about technological and innovative ideas. That is - it would be better if they did not do it.

First, I suggest
A set of Lagos knives (15 pieces) by BergHOFF

Terrible quality steel, thick blades, require sharpening after each use.

And I didn't even have a sandwich maker with different inserts (grill, donuts, Belgian waffles), a deep fat fryer (oil is expensive nowadays) and such a long-awaited pizza oven by Gypsy, well, it didn't go to me and has been worth it for a year. The Gypsy would have lived closer ... would have given in exchange for some unnecessary thing to her

And finally, an unnecessary thing Snep-en-slice (sorry if it's written incorrectly), I don't know where the head was when I bought it ... there is a Berner in the house and fell for this crap ... never used it

And I didn't even have a sandwich maker with different inserts (grill, donuts, Belgian waffles), a deep fat fryer (oil is expensive nowadays) and such a long-awaited pizza oven by Gypsy, well, it didn't go to me and has been worth it for a year. The Gypsy would have lived closer ... would have given in exchange for some unnecessary thing to her

Let's swap with me. I have gypsy roots

Oh, I also agree with many statements that there is no useless kitchen equipment and cannot be !!!!. Sometimes you wonder, how did our mothers manage to do everything? ... and now, the song is what to cook. A bread maker bakes bread for you, in a yoghurt maker - fermented baked milk, sour cream, in a cartoon - you want dinner, you want lunch, you can make delicious meat in an air grill ... and all this without much effort, this story can be continued indefinitely. And at this moment you can just relax, devote an hour, to another favorite forum.

I can say the following about the usefulness and uselessness.

harvester, I have a regular one, without a blender bowl with two double-sided discs, a universal knife and a beater attachment. I use it often, sliced ​​cabbage for borscht, I cut products for salads.

microwave. At first I even fried in it, then I got bored. I took specials. with a grill, but it is not needed in it. Now we are just warming up, it saves a lot, because it turns out that everyone eats at different times, and the child can cope himself.

Stick blender. I took it with a mini bowl, the idea was good, but it is convenient to use only the "foot" itself and use it. And the mixer replaces.

Mini chopper. Convenient for the same as the combine, but in small quantities. I often make mayonnaise in it. Must have a lower platform.

Garlic grater - not happy. Conveniently.

Drip coffee maker. Nonsense. It is not convenient to wash, and to use it ... One headache. I want to buy an espresso.

They presented a sandwich maker - and it is lying around ... The mixer is also lying around now.

The other day I took an electric oven, small, 18L. It seems convenient. At first, the idea was to buy an AG, but I decided that it was the same, only square.

A bread maker is also needed.

In general, there is nowhere to put the equipment. And I still want something new. But I take it anyway, then I break my head.

The other day I took an electric oven, small, 18L. It seems convenient. At first, the idea was to buy an AG, but I decided that it was the same, only square.

Quite different things.

And there, and there ten.

it's not about the shade; in an airfryer, food is cooked with hot air. has a completely different taste

Alisa_t, you bought a stove with convection? it also seems to me that this is the same as the airfryer only more spacious

Alisa_t, you bought a stove with convection? it also seems to me that this is the same as the airfryer only more spacious

That's not the case, I just have convection in my oven and there is an airfryer mode. The products have different tastes and are generally prepared differently. (Convection oven is also available, if that)

No, it turned out without convection. In principle, I wanted no more than 22 liters, compared different models, stopped at Aurora 242. Those that were small with convection did not promise to bring it in the near future, and even in the future too. Well, 28 liters is already more. I think that convection is not so important at such a small volume.

I think that convection is not so important at such a small volume.

That's for sure. Yesterday I again cooked chicken legs in a bag in it, delicious, not fancy (I forgot for an hour) and the oven is absolutely clean.

And I only have 1 sheet. She folded the rabbit on it. I put rice under it, just at the very bottom. The rabbit turned out to be fried, the rice was also right.

Interesting. And how was the rice cooked?
probably it's time to go to the ovens

I washed the rice, poured it with boiling water, put it at the very bottom, periodically turned on / off the ten (lower). The top one was always on (there is a rabbit under it). Usually I made rice in the microwave, but now you can do it in the oven

Thank you

[Alisa_t]

Alisa_t, and what is a garlic grater?

[shuska]

shuska , and you still have not bought that garlic grater, which photo in the subject showed? Or am I confusing something?

Anh, no, I didn't buy it. The girls didn't say much about her. So I jammed the money. But I'm still looking after something for the garlic (except for the garlic press).

I have such



only without container. I also doubted its convenience, well, so that the extra plastic at home not to be stored, I just took a grater for testing. Sometimes you need to rub 1-2 teeth, but you don't want to mess with a garlic press, I had a couple of different ones, I didn't like any. And now I'm happy, like an elephant. Although, I'm looking at a grater, too, at an amateur.

I’m thinking - do I need a slow cooker and a yogurt maker - in thought.
Although on the other hand, there should always be something missing

[Needed:]

The topic is old, no one unsubscribes anymore, but I want to add my own opinion
In addition to the naturally necessary (kettle, refrigerator), for me, these are the same:
Needed:

Microwave - heating food every day
Bread maker - We need a point.
Multicooker - Recently I cook / carcass everything only in it, although I strongly doubted its need
Sandwich maker - I can’t stand it when everything falls / falls / flows. Especially for a child, it never turns out to hold a sandwich normally, this device solved the problem.
Combine harvester - First I bought a cheaper one, purely for trial. Subsequently, when it broke down, I suffered for a month with plasters, bloody fingers and the removal of nails from food (the man had disaccustomed to using graters). I remembered all the profanity when cutting onions (my husband also helped when he entered the kitchen). Now it's different (my husband bought it himself, I didn't even stutter about it). I can't live without him.
Libra - Supplement to HP.By themselves, too, were needed, I was even surprised by this.
Marinator - A very useful thing.
Blender - Very much needed. But not such a perversion as in Boshevsky combines

Not needed:

Deep fryer - There was such a thing. You fill in 2 liters of oil and only 3 times it is enough. At current prices, this is a nightmare. You also need to filter the oil after each use. It is much easier and cheaper to go to McDonald's for potatoes and just fry everything else. True, it happens that I miss the whites, but they are not worth it, and make a break in a saucepan.
Waffle iron - Lying in the kitchen. Once a year (or even less often), I take it out, I think I can do something. And then, well, nafig it and put it back.
Coffee maker - I don't drink coffee. So for me it is unambiguous. But the husband drinks. I took a coffee maker from my parents (they didn't need it either). He danced around her, danced danced, all the same, it is not coffee that follows, but a misunderstanding. Collected in a box and gave back. Maybe mega-super-duper-fancy and makes super-dropper coffee, but we don't need that, my husband is not such a coffee lover. Easier to sip instant.
Juicer - Presented at work to my husband on the DR (Brownovskaya, then she was cool). We tried it, compared it with SSSR, decided that there was no difference and it was not clear why they were pulling so much money. Then they removed it and still, we haven't got it for 6 years.
Kebab maker - The thing is interesting, but very limited. Due to the small volumes, the application cannot be greatly expanded. I mean this 🔗 .
Hand blender - Lying around like a nozzle for a mixer. Never used it.

Dubious - This is when and it seems necessary, but it seems not. They are, but I rarely use them, and if they were not there, I would not even be upset.

Lighthouse - I rarely use it, only when I feel like it, but there is no minced meat.
Mixer - From the moment the combine appeared, it began to be used oh-oh-very rarely, and after buying hp, it was generally removed for a very long time. Available as a reserve, nothing more. Although by itself, if there is no harvester with beaters, it is necessary.
Slicer - Sometimes I use it, but not often. When mom buys sausages for dad, they have to cut them. Manually, such a volume cannot be overpowered (6-8 loaves of boiled), you will get off the sum. It is frozen and already easier to store. Why and why we do this, I will not tell. Yes, I use it more often in the summer. When the company is going to the camping. You have to cut a lot. The device makes work easier. In general, it is needed for large volumes.
Pancake maker - Not yet. But it happens that the thought of an acquisition slip by. But since the need for this thing is very doubtful, then thoughts have been slipping past for more than a year. The mother-in-law has, and therefore by
Toaster - I bought it exclusively for garlic bread. Although there is a husband for tea there will fry something. But there is no strong need or frequent use for it.
Convection oven - I don't have, my mother-in-law has. For myself, I see no reason to have it. And if it really is necessary, I'll ask my mother-in-law.

She described only the technique that was, is, or is almost there. I did not write about what I never had and never used, as a seemingly idiotic and unnecessary thing can be very useful.
Only now I realized how much equipment I have. And this is only the kitchen, and not all. And I considered myself so deprived in this regard ...

[Slicer]

Slicer - Sometimes I use it, but not often. When mom buys sausages for dad, they have to cut them. Manually, such a volume cannot be overpowered (6-8 loaves of boiled loaves), you will get off the sum. It is frozen and already easier to store. Why and why we do this, I will not tell.

Eh, but I wonder where there is so much sausage ???
For some reason, I have a thought - my dad is fishing and the wheels of sausage are strung on a hook and a fishing rod in the river ... to catch fish.

[Hand blender]

Hand blender - Lying around like a nozzle for a mixer. Never used it.

what do you mean !!! but what about mayonnaise or, for example, pumpkin puree for absolutely amazing cottage cheese-pumpkin rolls from! but in general fruit puree!
I make mayonnaise with a blender all the time - I see no reason to buy if the homemade one is a thousand times better in quality! and even cheaper, taking into account the quality of the product

Toaster - I bought it exclusively for garlic bread. Although there is a husband for tea there will fry something. But there is no strong need or frequent use for it.

and we use it almost every morning. We love toasts. Homemade bread is something! I still take toasts for a snack to work. Then she spread it with honey or jam - yummy!

[if at least two or three times a year the device makes my life easier, it was not bought in vain !!!]

And I have a hand blender constantly running: mayonnaise, mashed potatoes or vegetables, mashed soups. I just beat them green butter (butter + dill) on Kiev cutlets
And I will never give a slicer to anyone for anything !!!!
Here is a deep fryer ..... well, yes, a specific device ... BUT !!!!! I have a strong belief that if at least two or three times a year the device makes my life easier, it was not bought in vain !!!

The most delicious old-fashioned coffee - in a Turk

There is nowhere in my living room for three to put a whole bunch of appliances ...
We even gave up the microwave, and we do not suffer.
So the gas stove, it is with an oven, a refrigerator + a freezer (I still dream of a large chamber!), A meat grinder, a submersible blender remained after the tender childhood of a child, when you need to grind everything and your beloved HP!
And coffee is in the Turk!

And I don't have a toaster ... and I want to, and it pricks. and I love croutons ...

[for me]

We buy sausage for father to eat =) Because it is not possible to drive to the house where he lives in winter, everything is covered with snow, there is no road, but a person wants sausages. Sometimes it happens manually from the road about a kilometer through the snow through the field, but it's hard, so before winter we harvest for future use. Defrosting a whole loaf is not profitable, so you have to cut it.
I have never made any homemade mayonnaise or any mashed potatoes (acroma of potato and berry). I don't even know where to use mayonnaise. We don't eat it. Father eats red pumpkin with millet porridge. My husband and I do not eat red, we prefer squash more. We eat all the fruits that we buy as they are. Why mashed them I don't know. Everything that grows in our garden / vegetable garden is harvested for future use. Jams, pickles, marinades. I make the excess berries in a glass blender through a nozzle if juice or puree for the filling. There, and cottage cheese, etc. I described what I personally need or do not need. You use it, you need it, that's okay. The other person does not need this and this is also normal. Just like in one of the previous posts, a person wrote that a sandwich maker is not a necessary thing. Indeed, he (she) does not need it, but I really need it. But I am not saying anything about this. Oh my goodness! How come! Everyone here describes the devices he needs.

In addition to the naturally necessary (kettle, refrigerator), for me, these same:

Well, I also have this nozzle for puréing ... in general ... I mix mayonnaise at low speed with the whisk of the mixer. Puree only with a crush

Puree only with a crush

Well, if we're talking about mashed potatoes, then you can't use a blender, you get a strange sticky mass. But if it’s a crush, then it’s also not very good, because the lumps will still be. Although ............ used to eat and did not buzz))))

I decided to participate too
The most necessary:
refrigerator - 2 meters, with a large freezer and a decent refrigerator compartment, kettle - well, I don't have time to turn on the usual one in the morning

Needed:
Convection oven - I have it and a brazier, and a smokehouse, and a double boiler, and is used for heating
Oven (my oven is electric and very large, it is expensive to use every day, and on weekends the oven is busy)
Blender (mainly chop onions, garlic, make various sandwich pastes and pates)
All sorts of graters
Toaster
Double boiler
Email waffle iron (works every weekend, for thirty years now, I confiscated it from my mother)
Cookie cutters (still Soviet, consist of two halves, it turns out volumetric duck cookies, crocodiles, fish, bears, cones)
The bread maker is a new toy.
Meat grinder - she's a juicer and vegetable cutter. Firm "Ros". Well it works, and it works well, but what else did I want for 30 ye ...
Were needed:
Microwave - was purchased when the child went to school. At first, they made hot sandwiches. Since then, only my daughter has been using it. Well, it performs an important function - the airfryer stands on it.
The juicer somehow did not take root, but I used it often for the first year

Want:

food processor - no special need, I have a blender with a bowl and attachments, but I want to uuuuuuu ...
email scales - you should have decent scales in the kitchen
fondue
waffle iron for bulk waffles (there used to be such)

Probably, I want something else, in the store wanting is better

So, the necessary ones:
Thermopot - after the purchase we are very, very happy, I don’t want to go back to the electric kettle.
Coffee maker (espresso) and coffee grinder - uses it every morning (or almost every morning), coffee is not always in beans, or vice versa, it is not always ground, so a coffee grinder is also a necessary thing. In addition to the electric coffee maker, there is a cezve, a Turk and a geyser coffee maker. Less commonly used than espresso.
Bread maker - forgot what it is to buy bread. Very comfortably!
Multicooker - a thing not too necessary, but very desirable. They have not yet adapted, but very little time has passed.
Microwave - both a reader, and a reaper, and a player on a pipe: I heat food in the microwave, melt chocolate, defrost, bake meat and chicken, bake cakes, pies, buns, cookies ... In general, a very often used device.
Food processor - favorite thing! I often knead dough in it (dumplings, chopped shortbread, whipped shortbread and much more). I used to use it, now the attachments are out of order: a whisk-beater (for parallel beating of eggs, for example), graters-shredders. Virtually no attachments for citrus juice and juice were used. The blender bowl is used for milkshakes, omelet, ice crushing.
Hand blender another dearly favorite thing! As a blender I use for mixing dressing sauces, fruit puree. As a whisk, I use it for its intended purpose. Small chopper - for small volumes (for example, grind a little nuts to sprinkle something).
Electric meat grinder - I don't use it very often, but it's a useful thing. Was purchased mainly as a tomato auger juicer (I just love tomato juice WITHOUT salt !, which is very difficult to buy), but has not yet been tested. We're waiting for summer
Another useful, but not electric, fondyushnitsa - it is incredibly convenient to melt small portions of chocolate for sweets in it and temper it later,
Of the available, but not used: a yogurt maker - it was bought while the dotsya was very small, but after about six months the dotsya refused yoghurts. And the rest are not big amateurs. While standing on the mezzanine - waiting in the wings
Mixer - stopped being used due to physical and mental aging. His place was taken by a hand blender.

And I use everything.

The exception was the slow cooker and the mandolin (a shredder is such a rather expensive contagion). However, the shredder, in my opinion, shreds sucks, and I can't make friends with a slow cooker (I just can't get it right). This is my problem, not slow cookers.

Rest:
Dishwasher
baker
multicooker (Panasonic and cooko)
harvester kitchen, to which: an ice cream maker, a grain mill, a vegetable grater, a noodle cutter, a pasta attachment,
yogurt maker
slicer (slicer)
toaster
microwave oven
pancake maker
mixer
two hand blenders
egg cooker
electric meat grinder
2 waffle makers (thin waffles, belgian waffles)
sandwich maker
pressure cooker
scales (three! one - for spices with a step of 0.1 g)
double boiler
thermopot
electric kettle
jam maker
fondue
juicer (I can't get used to it, I'm dissatisfied with my own)

Everything is used. Something more often, something less often, but everything is used. I don’t want or buy a deep fryer. I don't like fried in fat. And a coffee maker. Firstly, there is a Turk, and secondly, I drink coffee extremely rarely. I do not like.

And this I am silent about all sorts of mechanical devices and equipment. There is generally alles-kaput. I'll write the list for an hour.

For me, the most necessary (except for the obvious: kettle, cold, etc.) are
-breadmaker -no comment
- a slow cooker, I use it almost every day
- microwave-heating and defrosting
-Terk Berner
-electronic scales-weighing everything

I often use:
-mixer-baking, cream
-yoghurt-tasty, convenient and healthy
- immersion blender for sauces and soups-puree
- egg cooker - for salads, okroshka, I like that the eggs do not crack

I rarely use it, but sometimes they help out a lot:
-slicer-cut everything at once for a feast, on the road
-combine-strike a large amount of something
- ice cream maker - will work in summer

Standing idle:
-fryer
-citrus juicer
-coffee maker
-sandwich-played and set. but we will still get it
-the steamer-there is a cartoon, and the kitchen is tiny
- blender jug ​​- with cocktails and submersible handles
- took the toaster to work, where he is a success

I want a meat grinder, probably I really need it! I DO NOT want an airfryer (kitchen is 5.5 m)

I am also unhappy with this mandolin. She only likes to cut vegetables into slices of different thickness. You can't cut anything at all with straws, and I didn't like using other graters from there either.
In general, for each fruit-vegetable, and for each type of cutting, I have my own mechanical device.
For example, I use a combine and a juicer with graters only if I need to grate a lot of small carrots and that's it.

I put the mechanical noodle cutter to hell. I remember that Shpilka wrote that she had acquired it, but did not use it. I read it before buying and was surprised. And so it happened for me. Do everything manually faster and better.

The topic, of course, is on electrical appliances, but I think that such information will not hurt many

And my electric mandolin is used very specifically, practically, with all attachments. And I'm even very happy with it ...

And my electric mandolin is used very specifically, practically, with all attachments. And I'm even very happy with her ...

Maybe because it's electric? Because it’s some kind of mechanical garbage, it cannot cope with any declared cubes. It is unrealistic to chop carrots, only something soft.

Natasha - Scarecrow, but how does the "jam maker" work?

Natasha - Scarecrow, but how does the "jam maker" work?

This is Vita Fruit from Tefal. Works well, I like it, I cook jam with a reduced sugar content (400-500g per 1 kg of berries). I'm not a fan of jam, I don't cook very much, eat. It turns out well.

And we just finished the cosmetic repairs in the apartment and just washed all the kitchen appliances and installed the mezzanine on the newly built (REQUESTED !!! from my husband) mezzanine. I made a list of what I needed and not so much to say ...
Just necessary HeboMaker (there is no way without her darling)
Fridge and freezer (naturally!). The refrigerator is small, the same age as the elder son (12 years old), the freezer there is small, we bought a camera, just a thrill!
Toaster (We can't do without it. We respect toasts)
Double boiler (I'm so used to it that I can't imagine how I used to manage to cook everything in a saucepan).
Electric oven... This is just a necessary thing. To be honest, I rarely use the (gas) surface. Soup except that vegetable soup and stewed fruit and jelly.
Ham maker (this is not quite a technique, but still kitchen utensils. I do not use it every day, but I have already forgotten how to roll it all into rolls, and so on) Even an older child loves this thing. Yesterday for today's holiday (Palm Sunday) he played such a fish loaf with mushrooms there! (you can fish today!)
Multicooker-I found a common language with her for a long time. And now I can’t live without her.
Electric kettle... A native simple teapot dripped and my husband happily brought an electric one. In principle, a kettle is needed in the house. But so far, I have not found the advantages of an electric kettle over a simple one.
Chopper (with his appearance in our kitchen, I completely forgot about the meat grinder and blender).
Microwave (used every day, but more for warming up. I cook in it extremely rarely. I asked my husband for a stove so that the children could warm up their lunch, but he loves everything fundamental. I bought this cabinet for 28 liters. The stove is good, but big.) indulge in hot sandwiches.
Coffee maker... As a direct object for brewing coffee, it is useless. To be honest, it's easier for me to brew coffee in a turkey. It is easier to wash and less fiddling with cooking. But since we do not like pure coffee (black), but the function of making cappuccino! Actually, for the sake of cappuccino, she was bought. Outside fasting, use everyday! My husband calls the coffee machine cappuccinatore.
Coffee grinder (not every day, but grind coffee, make powdered sugar, grits for flour, different spices, this is often ...)
and of course, mixer + blender, is also not used every day, but an essential thing in the household, and the need for a blender has disappeared with the advent of a chopper. It has such a function, and the volume is larger.
Perhaps I haven't forgotten anything from the necessary, but such items as: slicer (gave us for the anniversary of the wedding), used it a couple of times and that's it, it's easier to cut with a knife, how many there are for four, but quickly washed everything and order, and with this colossus, as you start fiddling around, then honestly, it's better to break it in pieces, electric meat grinder, to be honest, I didn't love her right away. The house has mechanical, old, still mummy's, but with the purchase of new furniture for the kitchen, 5-6 years ago, it became impossible to use it. It cannot be screwed onto the tabletop - there is not enough space for gripping, and where there is enough of it, there is no room for the handle to turn, I had to pull out the electric meat grinder. Either our model is unsuccessful, or I have something wrong with my hands and brains, but it is terribly uncomfortable. The noise is like from a KAMAZ, it flies to no one knows where, it gets hammered often, even by the fact that the mechanical one was grinding "without batting an eye." When the same grinder, already mentioned more than once, appeared in the house, the need for a meat grinder disappeared. I use it once a year when I stuff sausages for Easter. Because you have to start a lot: both yourself, and the mother-in-law, and the brother constantly order, and at work they make orders. I have to help the husband (with the grown-up son often began to evade this work) or the son to attract. And during the year, when I don't have to fill at all, I take the nozzle and manually it turns out faster than on this beast machine.
What a useless item it is deep fryer + fondue. They gave my mother-in-law, and she gave it to me, she said that I would soon find a use for her. Since my men are not lovers of potatoes in general (I will say that for four people during the winter we have 2 buckets of this tuber), then there is no need to use it. Have tried it once and don't feel like it. And with brushwood, for example, there is a lot of fuss, it's easier and faster on the stove.
Sandwich maker + waffle iron... Somehow it has not received widespread use from me.
Juicer... While fresh fruits, children prefer in kind. The juicer also has a nozzle for citrus fruits, but children who adore oranges with tangerines (exclusively Georgian!) Do not like orange juice at all.
And when my grandmother was gone, and my aunt sold her house, and with it, of course, the garden, the need for a juicer disappeared.You can't buy berries for juice, it's too expensive, and they don't want to drink vegetable juices
I did not remember another resident, this dryer for vegetables, fruits, mushrooms I use it during the season.

I dream of a pancake maker, but I can't find everything, what I want, and the children and dad dream of giving their mom an ice maker

That's probably all. The junior son found out what I was doing, said that I had forgotten two more very important things: TV and computer!
