What's the one kitchen gadget you would LOVE to have?

You know, I used to use my bread machine all the time but when I moved, even though it's on my counter... I've yet to use it! I should really get out the stuff and start making it! I am a bread FREAK and so are my kids. I especially love specialty breads... loaded with all the bad for us stuff! lol

I used to love buying those little ready made bread packets that you just dump in and bake in the machine. They always come in great flavors and different styles! I'm definitely going to be getting the stuff I need for mine! LOL

I was going to post about a breadmaker too. I bought one, years ago, right before my ex and I split up. Well, by the time I got to packing my half of the stuff in the house, I realized that he had lost the bread blade from the bottom of the machine. He "thought" he had left it stuck in the bottom of the crust of bread that he tossed in the trash! I tried to get one from the company, once I had moved and finally gotten settled again. They couldn't provide me with a new blade... they had discontinued the model. I've always wanted a new machine but it just hasn't been at the top of the priority list. I hope to get one, though, because I used to make almost all our bread with it. I had lots of different, easy recipes where, as you've said, you just toss everything in and it mixes, kneads, rises.. the whole bit. Yep, now I really want one again! LOL

I used to have a black and decker rice cooker that I LOVED. Um... trend here... but the ex took that too! LOL You'd think he was a freaking gourmet chef eh? Can't boil water! But has all kinds of gadgets now that I'm certain he is clueless what even half of them are!!!!

Oster makes a really nice rice cooker too. I got mine at Target a couple of years ago for under $30 and it can make enough to feed an army. D: I won't have one that makes less than 10 cups of cooked rice since all of them will leave a certain amount of crust in the pot. Too much crust means that much less that's edible.

My sister loves hers. She found one at an Estate sale for like $20!

A meat grinder is a definite plus if you have a hunter in the family! My dad used to make ground venison for our chili and such and actually ended up usually making 90% of it into sausage.

You don't necessarily need a meat grinder, a good food processor will work just as good. I used to have one of those Ultimate Choppers and it's just a fancy food processor. I ground up several packs of cheaper cuts of beef and stew meat and made some great burgers with it.

Sure... I'm rich now that I'm on MyLot! LOL My mom has a roaster... never uses it! Isn't that funny? Sometimes you think you HAVE to have something and end up never even really using it anyways. The funny part was, she never wanted a microwave and now would die without one. She swore she NEEDED the roaster and has used it twice at the most! lol

I understand that dilemma! I would love one too but between lack of cupboards and counter space... not so sure it would be a good option for me! Although I'd FIND a way I'm sure! lol

lol... sorry... the wait is worth it of course.. i would not recommend holding your breath until i send one though

LOL... that would be a great thing greeting you at the door!

I have a whole slew of little items that aren't costly, just never take the time and money to get them so I fully understand. Things as simple as a blender! LOL Oh well... that's why I'm always easy to buy for I guess!!!

I do think they have them, basically a portable DVD with an under the cabinet hook up I think. Hey... go even bigger... get the fridge that has the tv and dvd player in it!!! After all.. I'm buying! LOL

I miss my mini one that I had on the counter all the time!!!!! You reminded me of that! LOL
