I don't have a ___ in my kitchen and I don't want one.
I love you guys! Especially regarding the bread machine...what a total wast of space and money! Takes all the joy out of making bread.
My favorite gadgets are my blender, hand-crank popcorn maker (pops every kernal, never burns a single one and is so easy!), my "air-bake" cookie sheets (the ones with the hollow center layer...nothing sticks or burns...they're amazing!), my my immersion blender (blend soups right in the pot), and finally, my All Clad Dutch oven. I use it for soups, everything!
As for gadgets that I think are a waste of time, besides the breadmaker, the rice cooker (what...it's too tough to cook rice in a pot???), electric can opener (too much counter space...and how lazy can you get?), garlic peeler (give me a break!), and finally, those new collapsing bowls, measuring cups and colanders. All those ridges must be a nightmare to clean!

Favorite foods: sauteed mushrooms, mint chocolate chip ice cream, curry (particularly Thai), roasted sweet potatoes w/habanero jelly!
Last bite on earth: One big Thai meal...Pad Thai, several curries, beef w/basil, coconut sticky rice w/mango...eaten with my husband and Nancy on a warm evening.
Oh robincat...I can so relate. As a kid, my favorite story was told by our elderly neighbor of "the lady and the pressure cooker". We'd beg her to tell the story over and over. I never found out if it was true, but basically it was about a woman who opened her pressure cooker too soon while cooking a chicken and it exploded all over her kitchen. Much as I loved the story, it left me in total fear of pressure cookers. When I received one at my wedding 20 years ago, I promptly returned it, much to my husband's dissappointment. I wish you luck!
