my kitchen really has al lot of gadgets. My hands down favourite is my SHARP CAROUSEL microwave-convection oven. This is a great unit, highly reccomended , because you can do everything from mocrowave, to roast, to grill and a combinmation of those. I also have a lot of other stuff. Breadman bread machine, which does make very del;icious hot fresh bread really easily-but it doesnt see much use. Also have a couple of ACme juicers, which aslo just sit there. Of course the blender, which mostly only sees action iof i am making some salsa-dont use it for smoothies as i ahd planned.What else- a crockpot that i havent used in a while. Crockpots are actually great for meals if you start them in the morning and return after work, as long as there isnt a lot of greasy meat.Also, a portable roaster oven that makes really great turkeys and very easily, but i havent made a Turkey in awhile. ALso an SEAL-A- MEAL, which actually really really works to keep freezer food really fresh, but i dont use it. What else?..some CIRCULON pots and pans which i dont use.Also these things which never get used, but which i plan to use cause they are great; soymilk maker,electric meat slicer, electric knife,pressure cooker-thats one(the pressure cooker i really haVENT USED BUT AM EXCITED ABOUT THE PROSPECT OF PRESSURE COOKING! tHATS ABOUT IT, THAT I CAN THINK OF. I have been planning on doing some canning with the big pressure cooker(i haver several of different sizes) but havent ever donee it. i have bought some good instruction books.
