Foodie meme

grammarwomanSo there's a meme going around about kitchen appliances.
For those of you that haven't been in my kitchen - I am a shameful kitchen gadget addict. My cupboards are cram-jam full, though mostly organized, of things that I thought would be useful, and that I've used maybe once since I purchased them. At least most of them were acquired as gifts or at a discounted price, whether by markdowns or garage sales.
The saddest truth is, I enjoy cooking, but in order to do so I need a clean kitchen, time, and energy - a lack of Imperial interruptions is a bonus - but the confluence of those events is unfortunately rare. So my big, beautiful, well-stocked kitchen is mainly used to boil pasta, cook hot dogs, and nuke things in the microwave. *sigh*
Meme!
Bold the ones you have and use at least once a year, italicize the ones you have and don't use, strike through the ones you have had but got rid of.
I wonder how many pasta machines, breadmakers, juicers, blenders, deep fat fryers, egg boilers, melon ballers, sandwich makers, pastry brushes, cheese knives, electric woks, miniature salad spinners, griddle pans, jam funnels, meat thermometers, filleting knives, egg poachers, cake stands, garlic crushers, martini glasses, tea strainers, bamboo steamers, pizza stones, coffee grinders*, milk frothers, piping bags, banana stands, fluted pastry wheels, tagine dishes, conical strainers, rice cookers, steam cookers, pressure cookers, slow cookers, spaetzle makers, cookie presses, gravy strainers, double boilers (bains marie), sukiyaki stoves, ice cream makers, and fondue sets languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards.
*Two of them, one for coffee and one for spice grinding.
In addition, I have a yogurt cheese maker, mandolin, bean frencher, dehydrator, corn cob stripper, sausage grinder, apple peeler, mini food processor, large coffee maker (for guests), popcorn popper, waffle iron, meat tenderizer, and...well, the list goes on.
