Petals Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The coffee thread got me thinking, how many do we have. I have quite a few, do they get used, rarely. The toaster, egg cooker get used every day. The chopper upper hardly, the mandolin no, might take my fingers off. Rice cooker used to get used daily but not used now. The choppy things well I look at the machine and think can I be bothered and then say to myself no. Knife, you are my hero and you are so easy to clean. Marketers do not like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjg Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Breville coffee machine - every day Breville toaster - every day Breville food processor - every second day Breville cafe toaster - every few days Breville kettle - not much now, coffee machine dispenses hot water too. We should have purchased Breville shares! Other stuff coffee grinder - every few days, I grind beans and store grounds in freezer for a few days. Smoothy maker - every second day for ohs breakfasts slow cooker - once a week or so stick blender - when needed cake mixer - don't use much, food processor with dough blade does the job better pizza oven - why did I buy that?

abz123 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Kettle - daily Nespresso machine - daily Toaster - daily Iron - too bl**dy often :arghh: Kettle and toaster are UK imports that still have Aussie adapters on them as are the toastie machine, stick blender, electric whisk, slow cooker etc. which don't come out of the cupboard very often - yeah, the only thing that didn't make the container really was the kitchen sink!

Shigella Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I can't live without my Thermomix. Use it several times a day. We have a teeny-tiny kitchen and just don't have room for much else so this makes a HUGE difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I can't live without my Thermomix. Use it several times a day. We have a teeny-tiny kitchen and just don't have room for much else so this makes a HUGE difference. Went to to a demo for one of these, looked good. Boy are they expensive though, my last car was worth less! do you really think they are good value, what do they do best. How long have you had it?

frogian Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 OH hassled me going on 2 years for a Thermomix. My arguments against getting one were always 1) the cost of the thing 2) I figured it'd go the way of the other gadgets she'd bought in the past - used the days it's purchased, maybe on the odd occasion here and there during the next couple of weeks, then stashed in the cupboard for months on end until it was given to a mate (who probably though they REALLY needed one, just like my OH had at the time she bought it). I gave in a couple of months back and she finally got her Thermo...... Since then pretty much everything we've eaten has come out of the thing, quickly, and tasting good! The only time the oven gets used these days is to crisp up the roast and cook the Yorkshire puds and roast spuds (shame it can't do those things). Oh, one of my OH's selling points for us getting one was that it washes itself up. And it pretty much does! Yeah, they are expensive and going back 2 months my mindset was that it would be a waste of cash. So far, it seems that it wasn't. Will let you know if that changes!!
