Can just cook rice on the stove top.</p> <p>I love our toaster oven though ... We use it everyday, it is easier to warm up a few chicken nuggets with it instead of turn on the whole oven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2498998 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 23:53:16 +0000 fussygal 2498998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: I love our electric kettle!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2498997 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 23:49:05 +0000 fussygal 2498997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a VERY small kitchen and we don't have a microwave, but I honestly don't miss it after four years! However, when we move and have a bigger kitchen i'd like to have a wall/cabinet-mounted one. </p> <p>We also don't have a toaster oven (never understood the appeal of those?), rice cooker (we're not big on rice), food processor (used to have and it broke - I do miss that one!), or a coffeemaker (I'm the only coffee drinker so I just use my Aeropress). We do have a coffeemaker in the garage that we bring out when we have guests. </p> <p>I couldn't live without my toaster and stand mixer though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2498805 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 20:28:08 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2498805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No toaster or coffee maker.

Toaster, toaster oven, rice cooker and food processor. I couldn't live without a coffee pot </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2498632 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 18:23:45 +0000 pastemoo 2498632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No toaster, no microwave, no pressure cooker, no crockpot, no food processor. But we have a toaster oven, air popper for popcorn, stand mixer and bread maker. I think we have around the same number of appliances, just not the "regular" ones.</p> <p>Eta we have a dual coffee/espresso machine, kitchen mvp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2498622 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 18:19:56 +0000 Torchwood 2498622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have all of the above, but the toaster, toaster oven, blender, food processor, rice cooker, and coffee maker live in the pantry. (And the keurig lives in the attic.) They rarely get pulled out. My stand mixer I couldn't live without. Recently upgrade to the 6qt and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2498529 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 17:26:30 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2498529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a stand mixer or a rice cooker. We only have a coffee maker because both of our dads are big coffee drinker's and we wanted to have it for when they are visiting. Other than that it is never used. And we have recently packed the toaster oven in the back of the cabinet instead of out on our counter because we never use it. We need to just get rid of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2497911 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:32:38 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2497911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have<br /> Blender (but we have a small smoothie maker)<br /> Food processor<br /> Toaster oven<br /> Rice cooker<br /> Stand mixer</p> <p>Our coffee maker is just a tassimo cup one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2497864 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:14:30 +0000 Boogs 2497864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No rice cooker. Making it on the stove in a pot isn't bad, but there are some really nice rice cookers now so I wouldn't mind one. Like everything else, it's more of a storage issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2497863 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:12:59 +0000 deerylou 2497863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When our last microwave kicked the bucket, I was pregnant and went on some hormonal tangent about them being bad for our health. So, we never replaced it. I hardly miss it; we just reheat on the stovetop.</p> <p>We don't have a toaster, but do have a toaster oven and I love that little guy. No rice cooker, no standing mixer (just a hand mixer). However, we do have a waffle maker and a panini press. Priorities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2497858 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:11:12 +0000 brownepiano 2497858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a toaster but do have a toaster oven. No rice cooker or blender but our ninja pretty much works for anything. </p> <p>I do have a stand mixer that gets used at least once a month. And a shredder attachment for it. We got an ice cream maker recently that we use weekly, a waffle maker that we use about once a week and a yogurt maker I use twice a month. Since we had a tiny kitchen for a while I tried to only own appliances that I use regularly. Now we have more space and more appliances but I stick to the same rule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2497849 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:08:09 +0000 808love 2497849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: they are pretty cheap! I think our black and decker was about $50. I can do small pizzas, roasted vegetables, English muffins, etc. I'm frugal when it comes to space on my counter as I like it to be bare but it is worth the real estate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2497841 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:05:21 +0000 erinpye 2497841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: my step mom had one when I was growing up (I never lived with her), and I always was so amazed by it, and jealous because we didn't have one. I should get one! Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2497838 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:03:10 +0000 808love 2497838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: ever since I got a toaster oven 10 years ago, I can't live without it!! It is a mini oven and heats up super duper fast. So easy! When I found out about them, I was like - where have you been all my life?</p> <p>Oh and most of the families in the state where I live, has a rice cooker sitting on their counter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2497833 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:01:06 +0000 MaisyMay 2497833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No rice cooker, no coffee maker, no toaster oven, no food processor.</p> <p>I love my stand mixer and use it at least once a week, and DH uses our toaster nearly every day. The microwave is used multiple times a day, and we use a little bullet blender 3-4 times a week to make smoothies for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have/page/2#post-2497831 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:00:46 +0000 mamabolt 2497831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gentlelunette: Same here!

That thing can shred 2 chicken breasts in 30 seconds! It is amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have#post-2497647 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 09:09:08 +0000 psw27 2497647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a toaster oven, a rice maker or an electric kettle. We have storage for our food processor and I have our stand mixer out on the counter because it goes with out kitchen. I bake often so I can't imagine not having one. The silliest appliance we do have is a quesadilla maker - although I love it and do use it! We also have a waffle iron because DH loves waffles but we probably use it 3 times a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have#post-2497642 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 09:07:06 +0000 Chillybear 2497642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have everything on the list except a pop up toaster (we use the toaster oven for toast) and we use every single item on the list weekly if not daily. The stand mixer is great not just for baking but we also use it for mashed potatoes and shredding meat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-common-small-kitchen-appliance-do-you-not-have#post-2497634 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 09:04:34 +0000 avivoca 2497634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do not have:<br /> - Microwave<br /> - Coffee Maker<br /> - Toaster<br /> - Toaster Oven<br /> - Stand Mixer (but I asked for one for our 10-yr anniversary) </p>
