Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I use my kitchen aide stand mixer... then my rice cooker... then my crock pot. If you eat allot of rice or grains I would get the rice cooker. I use mine for every type of grain I eat (and this is allot). My stand mixer I use for EVERYTHING. in the last week, I have used it for 6 loaves of bread (I don't like day old so I give it to the chickens) angelfood cake, chocolate chip cookies for hubby and daughter, mashed potato, scones... For my crock pot, it is great for roasts and beans and things of that sort, but hubby hates roasts, and hates stew, and doesn't eat beans that often. It doesn't get used as much as it used to. Do you have a blender?? they are great for making sauces, smoothies, salsa?

Takes significant time off food preparation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vegetable steamer! . . . kinda looks like a double boiler, one saucepan atop another, but the top one has lots of holes in the bottom . . . so when you boil the water (in the bottom one), the steam rises and cooks the veggies in the top pan (covered). To me, veggies taste freshest/best cooked this way (so long as you don't cook them to death). Sandy T1 - 1979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save theory as your stove top version, but for the microwave. I've read that nuking food can affect the nutritional value, but to me it's a trade off- if it takes too long to prepare something, I probably won't take the time to make it, especially during the week when I work. So if it's faster to make, and slightly less nutritious, it's better than eating something healthy less often, gail > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 1. Pressure cooker. 2. Pasta maker. (I make my own low-carb pastas.)

Very hot and humid in Florida, and the less heat generated by kitchen appliances, the better! Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I have a black & Decker rice cooker " plus " It was a wedding present. I use it all the time... I don't know about different sizes, but you can get them fairly cheap I am sure. I had an older one, but I got rid of it once I got my new one... As for crock pots, we don't eat lots of soups and stews and roasts and things of that sort. I used to make my sketti sauce in there, but It is just easier to put it in a pot on the stove... Could be that I just don't have lots of space to use it...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Two local places I can look at are Bed, Bath & Beyond and Target. Both have a good selection of crocks, etc. And the hardware store and the drug store also carry some. 'Specially the " as seen on TV " type products. There are also several Asian grocery stores nearby that sell cheap small rice cookers, but I don't know the quality of them. Then there are also the two restaurant supply houses near each other. A regular one and an Asian one, but those are a bit better quality, bigger size, and more money. =) Although, if I found that I was using one quite a bit I might put the money out later. Also saw a few deep fat fryers - Fried veggies, fried bananers, fried ice cream... Maybe I should stay away from those... =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
