I love my immersion blender.

1/5/2011 10:46:15 PM

I stir my tea with one of these

1/5/2011 10:50:06 PM

I'm going with the toaster. The one with the fold down front, not the slots. I use that joker for freaking everything. Mini convection oven for the WIN.

1/5/2011 10:50:55 PM

gonna have to go with a fridge

1/5/2011 10:53:10 PM

copy induction oven and

1/5/2011 10:57:38 PM

The oven

Cuisinart 11-Cup Food Processor

It's a three-way tie for me between the:

-Deep Fryer

-Crock Pot

-Waffle Maker

1/5/2011 11:19:24 PM

Do boyfriends count?

I'd have to agree with knife, fridge, toaster oven, and the magic bullet blender thingy.

my Krups rice cooker and crock pot. I eat rice as a staple food and I also make chili, pot roast, soups, chowders, spaghetti sauce, etc. with the slow cooker function

1/6/2011 12:07:00 AM

all you need is a knife, a cutting board, a wooden spoon, a pan, and a mixing bowl...you can cook anything with that.

I have an air popper too butmy 6qt kitchen aid mixer wins hands down other than a gas range and refrigerator.

1/6/2011 7:59:21 AM

i see what you did there

and i agree that a gas range is superior to an electric

1/6/2011 7:59:36 AM

You bought an appliance to make popcorn?

Try this:
2 Tbsp of oil (healthy crap if you want)
1/4 cup of OR's popcorn kernels

Heat over medium-high in a pot with a vented glass cover until done.

Sprinkle lightly with ground sea salt and Old Bay.

Enjoy.

i came in here to post the mitch hedberg quote already mentioned

1/6/2011 9:17:28 AM

NINJA!

1/6/2011 9:19:37 AM

^ zomg, my wife and i got that for our wedding and i love it...it's our blender and food processor (along with our kitchenaid attachments, anyway)

ours is blue, though, and only came with the blender jar and food processing jar...what's the middle-sized one for?

1/6/2011 9:21:32 AM

After living four years without one, I have to go with the oven.

If we're talking kitchen gadgets, I'll go with the crock pot.

1/6/2011 9:21:38 AM

I kind of wanted one of those things, but when I read about them online everyone basically said they work great but have plastic gears, so they break easy.

Why cant they build cool shit properly?

1/6/2011 9:22:58 AM

i'll go with the fridge

1/6/2011 9:24:04 AM

^^ Because then you wouldn't buy replacements.

1/6/2011 9:24:26 AM

^^^ they DO have plastic "gears", but we use our pretty regularly and haven't had any trouble

We got one for Christmas.

We have a Magic Bullet but it just doesn't work as good as the Ninja.

I haven't used all the attachments yet. I love making smoothies in them though. Oh, and blended coffee drinks. No more frappacinos at Starbucks. And homemade salsa, FUCK YES.

1/6/2011 9:28:32 AM

i use the big one for smoothies and blended coffee drinks and it works very well...i can see the value of something in between the biggest and smallest containers, though

1/6/2011 9:29:35 AM

I also bought a new Kitchenaid stand mixer on Black Friday for $100


That's pretty awesome as well.

1/6/2011 9:30:47 AM

You're gonna love my nuts.

1/6/2011 9:31:25 AM

^^ jeebus, yeah, that's a great price...the ultra (300w/4.5qt) or artisan (325w/5qt)? my mom has the professional model (575w/6qt), but i only rarely use the artisan (which we nabbed for $200) to its full potential, so i'd just waste the nicer, bigger model

we ended up getting most of the (overpriced) attachments (including ice cream maker!) for our wedding...they ARE pretty cool

I LOVE KITCHEN STUFF

I think its just called the KitchenAid Classic.



I LOVE KITCHEN CRAP.


I, too, have the Slap Chop.

1/6/2011 9:37:00 AM

My mom gave me her old Kitchenaid mixer Haven't had a chance to use it yet but she gave me a good number of the attachments for it too.

Now I want the ice cream maker so I can make black sesame ice cream.

1/6/2011 9:37:47 AM

I was cleaning one of those wal-mart brand chopper things and was like "This is a pain in the ass to clean, it would be much better if I could open it up"

"Holy crap, Vince was right! "

1/6/2011 9:40:42 AM

I got my mom the pasta attachments for hers awhile back but she barely ever uses them. She uses the mixer for other things all the time though.

Also, I see the woman jokes are here in full force. I approve.

[Edited on January 6, 2011 at 9:44 AM. Reason : not just the maker]

YOU DOUBTED HIM?! You should always believe informercials.

1/6/2011 9:45:02 AM

The heads end up rattleing on the classic kitchenaids that's why I got one of the bowl lift style rather than the tilt head model ( the hinge wears out )

1/6/2011 10:30:15 AM

i love our kitchen aid stand mixer- we got the 6qt pro one as a wedding gift, and it's amazing. We also got a meat grinder attachment for Christmas that I'm gonna try out this week to make some meatballs


Despite how much I love that mixer, I'm not sure it's the greatest. Especially if people are considering large appliances like gas stoves or ovens. I'd lose my mind if I didn't have our gas stove anymore.

1/6/2011 10:48:36 AM

My husband owns a catering company

He has this mixer
