Most used kitchen appliance

Next to the refrigerator, name the most used appliance in your kitchen. In mine it's the microwave and when it died I was lost without it.

  Me too, but that is when I listen to public radio. Doing that kind of work in the kitchen is a good thing for me. Maybe I should blog about it after the next time I really get in the zone.

  I also listen to public radio CBC or to college radio when I'm washing dishes. I wonder how many others do the same.

  Ahhhhh Yes, with the little grand-kids over constantly and all they do is eat, eat, eat, and want a drink, my hubby said we need a dishwasher.
  
  I was thinking about my answer and I was thinking that maybe my can opener comes in real close to first.
  
  I had a old army hand can opener for years, but now I have this newfangled can opener (my children insist I get more modernized) I just open cans to see how easy it is. Thank-goodness for hungry grand-kids...

  Hmmm ... that's right up there on my list too. But I can always use the old kettle on top of the woodstove instead of the electric one.

  I can use my woodstove for cooking if I have too. I can also use a campstove and frequently do when the power goes out. I didn't even consider the exhaust fan.

  I am with you wholeheartedly on the mixer...I have a Kitchen Aid Professional Series 6 stand mixer that I lovingly call Big Red! Since I do a LOT of baking, buying this stand mixer was the best money I ever spent! My food processor is a close third but my second most used kitchen appliance isn't really an appliance, it's my hand crank sifter.

Small kitchen appliances are usually portable.

They can make everyday life easier and more convenient, whether it's cooking food in a college dorm, brewing coffee at the office, or preparing a meal after a busy day. Small appliances include coffee makers, blenders, and food processors as well as mixers, toasters, and can openers.
There are styles and colors to suit every kitchen and a wonderful variety of appliances to cook everything from popcorn to pizzas.

People who are dependent on caffeine have breakfast with an old friend - the coffee maker. Every morning you scoop in the coffee, add some water and flip it on. but have you ever wondered what's happening inside. How does the water get from the reservoir over to the coffee grounds in the filter basket? How does everything heat up so quickly, and what on earth is that gurgling noise? Nice.

Can openers is my most used also when lazy to cook, I need this to open Can Food.

I am a kitchen appliance aficionado. I probably use my stove top the most (I had a professional-style gas range installed shortly after we moved in), followed by the microwave (I usually nuke the dinner veggies), and then the bread machine (at least 4 loaves per week), and last, the hand mixer (mashed potatoes several times a week). I also have a food processor, slow cooker, steamer, and a massive KitchenAid mixer, electric kettle and toaster, but these are not used as much.

When my microwave died, I was also lost without it. I've had one since '77 had many years of cooking experience before I got my first one, so it was amazing to me when I found myself so lost without the thing! After the fridge and stove, I'd name it the most beloved appliance in the kitchen.

the oven/stove or the coffee maker

or maybe it's the microwave

[reply]
1. 12/26/08
  
  timethief
  
  It's hard to choose between them but I put microwave first because I can always use the woodstove, and as long as I have boiling water I can Melita a cup of coffee. I grind beans ahead of time because the power frequently goes out here but not usually until January or February. The snow is an unaccustomed event here.

Definitely my electric kettle, I'm not a big one for kitchen gadgets. I have a microwave but never use it (because I think they are dangerous) the only thing I use it for is to time my boiled eggs I put a cup of water in it and set it for 2 and a half mins so I know when my eggs are done.

  Well I didn't buy it to time eggs, my ex bought it because she was as good in the kitchen as she was in the bedroom.
  I would throw it out but it was quite expensive and being a tight Yorkshireman I can't bring myself to throw it out, so I compromise and use it as a 200 quid egg timer.
  When, sometime in 2035 it finally stops timing eggs I will then buy myself a nice little egg timer.

  As far as I'm concerned a sink is not an "appliance" because it's not mechanical in nature. However, technically it does meet the definition.
  
  a device or machine for performing a specific task, esp. one that is worked mechanically or by electricity stoves, irons, etc. are household appliances

  The kitchen sink is an appliance, because without it you couldn't keep things sanitary.

I vote for the garbage disposal. I use it every time before preparing a meal and run it when I do the dishes. Since I use the stove or oven for perhaps 2/3 of meals and toaster for perhaps 1/4 of them, it stands to reason that it's my most used appliance after the refrigerator.

And to make sure I don't bring my troubles at home, I pretend to put them in the garbage disposal when I come in too! They seem to be smaller the next day at any rate.

I don't have a garbage disposal :-( Electric kettles are popular in OZ. We make both tea and coffee with ours and its quite a busy little device!

@ Siralmo

I grew up in America with metal kettles that you boil on the stove top; they whistle when they reach the boil...

Electric tea kettle is the most used thing. My Braun hand blender is my favorite though - it rocks!

Washing machine which is being repaired at the moment. Am amazed it has lasted as long as it has considering how we hammer it. There's only two of us but because of our respective occupations we seem to get thru a lot of clothes.

Next up is the dishwasher (next on the repair list). Oh how I hate washing up by hand. I realise not everyone has this luxury, when I was a kid it was my major chore - much preferred gardening!

I'd have to say it's a tie between the stove/oven and the coffee maker. Both seem to be running non stop

Formula mixer... well at least that is what it was marketed as. I find it makes frothy chocolate milk, mixes coffee & ingredients, and mixes powdered drink mix better than anything. It is sad, but I use that think at least 10 times a day
