Most used piece of kitchen equipment ...

What is the most used in your kitchen? Not the oven or the hob we all got use them ... My electric hand blender is a very special device ... Its used for soups, purees, fruit as well as veg making baby food, smoothies and its used all the time doing one or the other.

My 8in chef's knife is most used, closely followed by its steel, then by the 3in paring knife and the wooden spoons.

Electrical appliance - hand blender, ours has a mini food processor attachment too - Ideal for making salsa, guacamole and grinding stuff.

We use our breadmaker almost every day now too... I haven't had supermarket bread for about a month now

Non-electrical - same as stoney - 8 inch chefs knife.

Kettle and teapot!

it's a toss up between my kettle and my Spong. it minces, it grinds, it slices, it grates and it gets used at least once or twice a day for something.

veggie knife, bread knife (I find that cuts even the big neeps better than my bigger chef's knives!)

Like most people, it's a toss-up between the kettle and a big knife for most used.

I wouldn't last long without my salad spinner, though. Can't stand soggy lettuce.

electrical item would be my hand beater for baking.

non electrical would be one of my small collection of sharp cooks knives!.

My kitchen knives and frying pan are what I use most.

Electrical? A toss-up between the deep-fat fryer, the bread machine, and the slow cooker.

Its interesting to see that we are all along the same lines ... we must be doing it right ...

non electrical has to be my wooden spoon

electrical has to be my remouska

Silver Ether · Mon Apr 28, 2008 6:13 pm

Well you learn something everyday ... I hadn't a clue what a remouska is... so googled and it looks very interesting... they can be used when you go camping to ... and a link for anyone else like me
