Bold the ones you have and use at least once a year, italicize the ones you have and don't use, strike through the ones you have had but got rid of:

I wonder how many pasta machines, breadmakers, juicers, blenders, deep fat fryers, egg boilers, melon ballers,sandwich makers, pastry brushes, cheese knives, electric woks, [miniature] salad spinners, griddle pans, jam funnels, meat thermometers, filleting knives, egg poachers, cake stands, garlic crushers, martini glasses, tea strainers, bamboo steamers, pizza stones, coffee grinders, milk frothers, piping bags, banana stands, fluted pastry wheels, tagine dishes, conical strainers, rice cookers, steam cookers, pressure cookers, slow cookers, spaetzle makers, cookie presses, gravy strainers, double boilers (bains marie), sukiyaki stoves, ice cream makers, and fondue sets languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards.

I use my coffee grinder once a year, but to make tea fixin's.
I use my rice cooker at least twice a week.
I ought to use my slow cooker more, but usually only make comfort food in it and am trying to eat better.

slow cookers

[bruiseblue.livejournal.com]

I do a lot of beans in my slow cooker, as well as long-cooking greens, and other healthy stuff. I also roast chickens for sandwiches or dinners with no added fats - it can be healthypants, if you let it. :)

I was given several books for my wedding, on the theme of vegetarian food in the slow cooker - most dishes taken only 4-5 hours, which sucks on work days, but for weekends it's alright.

Beans from scratch are infinitely better than beans from cans, and much cheaper, too. Try it!

I'm about to try some curries in the slow cooker - got an indian slow cooker book from gvpl, and I'm slightly skeptical and will need to buy lots of unfamiliar spices to make it work, but I'm giving it a try. I have a pumpkin needs killing...
