Must-Have Kitchen Appliance

The biggest money saver in my kitchen is my foodsaver vacuum sealer. Before I bought this, we had thrown away 2 garbage bags of meat from the freezer that had become freezer burnt. After we got this, we've hardly thrown any meat away. I don't know what I would do without one.

I love food savers. I plan to buy one when we get into a bigger place because right now we have no room for it (tiny apartment kitchen).

My brother has one and seems to like it, i can't say i'm convinced. I'd rather get a pressure cooker, now that is one thing i cannot live without

I love mine! We have the boilable bags, so I can put soups in (without the vacuum obviously lol) and they are easy peasy to reheat.

Crock pot and blender. We would starve if I didn't have those.

My other must haves:

Kitchen Aid stand mixer and food processor

Crock Pot

Rice Cooker

Huge Griddle (makes 8 pancakes at a time!)

Coffee Maker

haha my coffee maker was the first thing that popped into my head too!!
Rice Cooker is the other major "appliance" that gets used regularly here. Small apartment, wish we had more room for things. (Heck, I'd love it if we had room for a pantry or a food closet...we use half of the room under the dining table for our "pantry")

I bought the grinder attachment for my KA mixer last Christmas so I can make my own ground meats! It makes wicked burger mixes.
I was thinking rice cooker too but I can make rice in a pot on the stove so I wouldn't be to sad if it dies. 8 pancakes, eh? What brand?

Well I'm pathetic! My "can't live without it" appliance would be my microwave. A must for nuking insta meals on the nights I don't cook....which are many!

I wasn't even counting microwave because its sort of like a given that its there. Fridge, stove, dishwasher and microwave...those are like barebones to me. I'd be lost without my nuker.

My food processor.

I think it is from Rival. With 5 people, being able to make a lot at one time is a must.

Mmmm... A griddle would be awesome!!!

How could I forget the food processor? What's wrong with me?

I've been wanting one of those saver things. But first is a new freezer, right now I feel like I'm playing Tetris loading things up in the one we have now. Especially after Costco
