general

The 30 dollar slow cooker I bought only because it was 60% off was the best purchase of random kitchen stuff I technically didn't need

I have made some good roasts with it

I think a crockpot/pressurecooker/slowcooker is required tbh

Find a resturant depot hook up

If theres any near you

Its really not Spooky, its neat, but you can do like 70-80% of things without one

same tier as a toaster, microwave, etc.

I have used my toaster as much as my slow cooker (not often)

not as high as a pan/heat source obviously

Microwave I use a lot

or a fridge

Air fryer I use a lot becuase its easy for cooking certain things, I use my stove whenever it makes sense to obviously

I use my air fryer for 90% of things that will fit in it

I use my crockpot at least once a week

coffee maker > toaster > crock pot > microwave > blender in terms of use for me

It's nice if I go into the office to do something

Damn I missed the vtuber destruction hour

Coffee maker is at the botton because I do not drink coffee

and I do not own one

I use my toaster once every like

3 months

I bought a kettle specifically just to make hot chocolate, so I only use it 3 months out of the year

That might even be overestimating

I just don't eat a lot of bread

I also have a water boiler, but that's 100% just a nice to have and not required

And when I make burgers I toast the buns in a pan

Toaster is useless

oh grill

hmm

where do I rank that

If I could have a grill, I would get one. Not allowed to do that on my balcony

Not high

I think that's probably below microwave, but I like having it a lot

I rarely use my grill

Toaster oven > Stove > Microwave > Crockpot > Charcoal grill

I just cook most of my shit in a cast iron pan

My mom bought a toaster oven recently, she's been enjoying it

Her stove fucking died, so it is what is being used in the interum

my microwave is a 2-in-1, really good toaster oven as well, which I think I use more than I actually use the microwave part of it

idk why, I just rarely have things to microwave anymore

other than melting butter for baking

I only use my crockpot when I need to slow cook it

I microwave probably two times a month

I microwave reheat shit I cooked previously sometimes

Pretty much only for food types I can't reheat in the air fryer

When I get a lot of ground beef for cheap, I end up making something like 20-30 homemade burgers, and just freeze them

I usually just use the microwave to reheat those

Most meats I just reheat in my air fryer like Rusp though

I can't think of any other appliances that are even sorta on that required list

I have a mandoline which I bought as ameme and make homemade chips with

not required, funny to own

ig a smoker, as a far, far rarer thing that fills a similar niche as a grill

I've got one of those smoker-grills

mandolines aren't an appliance, unless you mean you got an electric deli slicer one

I pretty much only use it for steaks

Mandolines are evil

I was talking genral kitchen tools I guess

yeah its not an applicance

You can't make smashburgers on a grated grill....

mandolines will hurt you bad at some point

Mine has good safety stuff

I think I would have to really try

to cut myself

I make most everything on stovetop

Same

I would have to actively stick my finger into the blade compartment, which you have no reason to ever have your hand near

Mandolins feel like torture devices

not sure exactly what kind you got, but I feel like it would be hard to retard proof one

It has a tube that you put the thing in, then another tube that you push the thing from behind with, so I really can't see how I'd cut myself

without making it mostly useless

Anyone who owns one has a story of being maimed by it

Hold on I'll go get a picture

is yours a super small one Pika?

I think we own one but I've never used it

I use mine, and I've not hurt myself on it yet

but it's inevitable

I think they come with a handguard tool now

yes, those metal kitchen gloves
