Kitchen essentials

I was browsing through a magazine, they had a section on top 10 appliances every kitchen must have.  Was wondering whether we really need appliances in our kitchens with the economic meltdown, but hey, it is assumed it is what every kitchen must have.

The 10 are:

Mixer 

mixer

Kettle 

kettle

Coffeemaker 

coffee maker

Tin opener 

tin opener

Stick blender 

stick blender

Blender 

blender

Toaster 
toaster

Frying pan 

frying pan

Microwave oven 

microwave
Snackwich maker 

snackwich
Do we really need all this appliances in our kitchens or we can really do without them or some of them?
Which one do you really think they do not need to be to be included in the list? 

Images from the net googled them.

I only have 4/10 does that mean I'm LSM1? Anyway, I'm rarely ever in the kitchen...

What about pots? Dont they think that it would be best to have something to cook in.

What about a stove?

Molilo
29 Jun 2009 14:17

True ladies I think the microwave and kettle are the one mostly used and we cannot live without as for the others it is just luxury and waste of space.

@Mililo: I consider a stove an appliance.

Pots are kitchen essentials. Is it really necessary to have both Stick blender and Blender?

I have 6/10.

Molilo
29 Jun 2009 14:25

Yes GML a stove is an appliance, but according to the mag not essential, remember there are a lot of kitchen appliances not listed here, your rice cooker, steamer, griller, pressure cooker which I do not know what is used for, etc.

I scored 6/10, did i pass? lol

I got the stick blender and blender, blender is for my smoothies and tomato puree' , the stick blender comes handy for mixing something quick and in a pot, oh and it was on sale when i bought it (R99),lol. 

I love the frying pan for steaks and chops.

Sammis
29 Jun 2009 14:27

@ Awe, I'm actually good at opening tins with the manual tin opener & the knife, lol. You must bring your tins here ka load shedding time!

Mixer is for mixing your dough and for baking purposes, food processor is for cutting veggies and other foods that need to be cut , blender for smoothies, stick blender for ur creans hope I answered your questions. I think so not that I am right

I don't think we should have all the kitchen appliances, appliances like  coffee maker, blender most of de people hav them, but they don't use these appliances 4 example I hav frying pan most of the time I forget that I hav it cuz I am used to Stove or microwave.

Most Ideal Items that a kitchen can hav:
Microwave
Kettle
Electric Stove

@ Lady gagaWho needs a kitchen if here is  KFC,McDonalds,STEERS,SPUR,CHISA NYAMA,CHICKEN DUST,Dolly's Kitchen,Mama Pap,!.....
Then Again maybe its a guy thing not to worry abou my Kitchen,We Worry about Cars!...........LOL

felfel
29 Jun 2009 14:57

Molilo u are right, those things all have synonymous functions yet different somehow. U can crush ice in a blender but not with a stick blender cos its not that strong, u cant mix dough with a food procesor, they differ in size and blades.

If u not very handy in the kitchen then u wont appreciate these things much believe me.  Thats why sum people feel better off with just a stove and two pots. One pot for the pap and another for gravy, wash the gravy pot when done and boil some water for the coffee, lol lol

Was telling the madam about getting the coffee machine, apha emsebenzini they serve us this too nice filter coffees, ur house of coffees type... I'm a beer kind a guy but I've craved this coffee quite a few times at home so I think its maybe not a bad idea to get the maker or mhlawumbi yingqele le indifumanayo ndibe yileway........... Farai mfethu the thought of take outs lately makes me sick in the stomach I just cannot stomach the stuff anymore..........sad thing is cooking is a skill I don't have....... I need help else I'm gonna starve to death.........

felfel
29 Jun 2009 15:53

To be honest with u I don't actually know where Hillbrow is, only when someone points at it do i realise that it is it. I dont know Jhb well, I'm one of those people who'll say  "when u say u live in EastGate, wats the closest town/suburb close to it that I will be familiar with?" and believe me i'l do this until u name a place thats 5times further and then i'll go "aaahh, i see where u are now" and then i'll go google that place, lol

DJ Why why
29 Jun 2009 18:19

i have only 1/10 item, i suppose that goes to announce just how friendly i am with that room in my house. If i bought a house without a kitchen, it would nt make a difference , really

dali
30 Jun 2009 07:27

Lmao @ dj i have 3/10

nice
30 Jun 2009 15:46

I have 6 out of 10, well maybe 5.5 since I do not have the fancy tin opener..........but I wont be buying the coffemaker as I am not a big coffe drinker, I buy Ricoffy/Koffiehuis for my guests and that is as far as I can accomodate them. I never use the toaster though, so I only need 5 of the appliances listed there.

I must add though the twista was something I liked from makro and I bought it but now I regret it cause I find myself chopping my onions using the cutting board!!
