Fave small kitchen appliance


What is your favourite and/or most used kitchen appliance? While the toaster is probably the most used, it doesn't really do much for me!lol However, I just LOVE my rice cooker. Until I got it a year or two ago, I rarely made rice since I found it was too much of a hassle and I rarely got it to the right consistency - yeah, I know, the new R*chael Ray I'm not!!lol Anyhow, then a year or two ago, I'm walking down the aisle at Home Depot of all places and there they were, a whole stack of rice cookers. One made its way into my cart. I think it cost about $20. It's a basic, cheap model and I so love it. I measure however much rice I want for a particular meal, put in twice as much water, put on the cover and press the button...when it's ready, it switches itself to warming mode and whenever I want it, be it right then or an hour later, perfectly cooked, hot rice! Tonight, we're having our weekly salmon, rice and asparagus dinner...original, I am not!lol Oh rice cooker, what did we do before ye!lol Ya'll have a great dinner!

Rice cookers rock, once you try them you will NEVER go back to the old way of making rice

It's an obsession with Asians...close to the Western word's obsession with a "better" razor blade.

Sadly, the $50 model I ordered does "okay'. In the world of rice cookers, price sometimes does not dictate quality.

I have got to get me one of those! Love, love, love rice but I hardly ever make it because it's a hassle...and it doesn't always turn out...there's nothing worse than crunchy rice!
