What kitchen appliance, small, or aparatus is something you cannot live without in your cooking?

Me... I could not live without my Kitchenaid Food Processor. I use it almost every supper meal. I make salads and it cuts and slices all the veggies just right. It also grates my cheese and onions for cheeseburgers.

Couldn't think of not having a microwave oven. I also NEED my cuban coffee in the morning, so the coffee maker is a must have item.

For me it is my kitchenaid stand mixer. It sure makes bread baking easy

I couldn't do without my oven, I hate using electricity (threw out my microwave and electric taster)I like to cook the old fashioned way; knead with my hands, use my old mixer, use an old-fashioned perculator (the one on the stove) mix hamberger meat with my hands...guess I'm just old fashioned

It'd have to be the microwave. From thawing, to reheating, to cooking. It's the one kitchen appliance that is used every day.

I have an awesome santoku knife i couldnt do without...

Yeah...

and the microwave just beeped. Lunch is ready.

I have to have my big wood cutting board. I use it for everything.

My J A Heckles knives, after having them for 5 months I can't believe I was using those sorry old dull knives I had. Makes my job so much easier and go twice as quick. They were expensive but well worth it, I plan to have them forever.

I only have two real good knives, small for veggies, etc. I really need to get some new ones. Ours are older than the hills. I will wait till I move so I can add them to the curb.....

aint that the truth! my santoku alone cost over $100, but it's one of the finest tools ever. It too is a Henckel knife.

Hey, mine is the same brand as you guys. My little knife. It is German and there is a little man on the blade. I will have to remember the name when I buy new, thanks.

The fridge and freezer -- I like fresh fruits and veggies too much. And I like to make big batches of soup and meals that I can freeze for later consumption.

Yes, we love our freezers too. I always fill it up with ice cubes for cane season, just in case. We have a very old large chest freezer and it is going to the curb too when we move. I will get one of those small square ones.
