With modern technology there are tons of kitchen appliances available. I look around my own kitchen and can count 9 but realized that other than the refrigerator there are some I seldom use and others I use almost daily. My favorites list would look like this: 1) Microwave - can't live without it, gets daily use. 2) George Forman Grill - the small one but I use it several times a week. 3) Regular old toaster - gets used a lot for breakfast pastries or English muffins. What would your list look like?

I couldn't live with out my George Foreman grill, I have 2 a big one and a small one. and my microwave, as well my fridge and small separate freezer, On the other hand my iron could double as a thing to keep the door open, my stove is a very nice storage cabinet and counter for cutting, pots and pans may end up as plant holders, and if they put a handle and rim on the George Foreman I wouldn't have to dirty dishes, oh yes I love my dish washer fire it up once a week just for a few laughs and a few dirty dishes.my toaster plays mind games and wins all the time it sets off the smoke detector just to keep me on my toes. also smoke detector is very good dinner as a ready bell.

Yes, like you I have some that are only used once a month, yet some are used several times daily! My list would look like this: (1) microwave-gets used hourly almost...warming coffee!! I also warm leftovers, steam veggies and everything in it! (2) George Foreman Grill: used almost daily! chicken, bacon, hamburgers... (3) Toaster oven: Used almost daily! toast, grilled cheese, roasted veggies, french fries... Oh wait...I forgot about the coffee maker! Best make it number one...hubby could be classified as a 'dangerous weapon' if he had to go without coffee!!! That poor coffeemaker makes several pots per day!

My MVP appliance is a microwave. You can do all sorts of stuff with it and for a college student, its obviously very important for quick and easy meals as well as reheating left overs.

Well, refrigerator the most by far... but other than that, I couldn't live without the Microwave.. I love Ravioli and hot pockets and things, and having the microwave makes it so much easier than the oven/stove. Though next one the list would be the stove. For one big reason... Cookies! I absolutely love cookies! Without the oven I wouldn't be able to make home made cookies... and that would be really bad to say the least... Though for my mom, her list would be like. 1. Coffee Maker. 2. Coffee Maker. 3-19999432589643. Coffe Maker. Shes a total coffee nut...

I really don't know how to cook so I really spend less time in the kitchen. But the one appliance in the kitchen that I love is the microwave oven. It's really very useful for us because we can just reheat the foods prepared to us the nigth before by our cook.

Well number 1 for me is the microwave I don't know now how I got along without one. I guess second to that would have to be my coffee machine. Then my toaster. One of the most useless things I have is an eclectic frying pan. I never use this.

although I am not a good cook and I don't stay at the kitchen that much, this would be my favorites according to use. first would be the refrigerator, of course it's top important for me. 2nd would be our rice cooker, 3rd would be the microwave-it fits me excatly because i don't enjoy cooking,i often use this for quickmeals.

I do not own a microwave anymore, done with those! but of course the refrigerator is used 24/7 as is the freezer. I guess next would be the stove top, and then the toaster oven, then the stove's oven, the coffee maker which we use to make hot water for tea most often. I do not use a dishwasher but if I did I am sure that would be at the top of my list too.

Hi. We make toast a lot of mornings in a small oven and use a stove to cook on. Of, course, we also have a refrigerator.

The most kitchen appliances I really used is the oven toaster can't spend the day without using it for the breads and pastries, next is the coffemaker which is one of the most in demand item in my kitchen. And lastly the hot and cold water dispenser I don't know if it is listed as kitchen appliance but it is belong to my top 3 most widely use kitchen appliance everyday.

The kitshen utensil i use most is the pot reason is that myfamily has o cook on daily basis and that is the cooking item that is most suitable for cooking and so we find ourselves having to make use of it daily besides it.
