a kitchen meme

Since I haven't done one in a while, and this interested me...

Meme via [livejournal.com profile] rosefox:

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.

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, food processors, ice cream makers, takoyaki makers, and fondue sets

I seem to have a remarkably lo-tech kitchen.  Also, not a lot of toys.  Although I do own a decanter, a popcorn popper, a non-electric wok, a wonton press, a toaster oven, a microwave, an ice cream scoop, a mortar & pestle, etc, all of which I use on a regular basis. And a coffee maker (in the pantry) as well as my French press...  Yeah, lo-tech, and stripped down for a NYC kitchen.  But I feel no lack.

(I should note that I probably do need a filleting knife.  I just keep finding workarounds)

That's neat! I wonder if one should get extra low-tech points for having had to look up some of the terms :)

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, food processors, ice cream makers, takoyaki makers, and fondue sets

(yes, I know. Haven't used the gifted fondue set once, and I live with a nigh-infinite supply of cheese)
