Our crockpot is always a nice welcoming when we come home from a long hard day of work. Da onolicious aroma of what's been cookin always greets you at the door. Besides that, gotta be my knives. Nottin fancy...picked up a mini set from Costco. They work great!!!
Ooooo! An expresso machine! I've always wanted one, but any device that makes caffeinated drinks is a yipeee for me. That and a good manual can opener are really important in my kitchen. I guess a can opener isn't really an appliance if it's not plugged in. Does my husband who sharpens knives really well count? A good sharp knife is important. I've found that if pressed, I don't need a microwave or a rice cooker. Can steam stuff in short amount of time and is healthier, can cook rice in a pot, and even a dishwasher can go without. The toaster oven, however, is a favorite of the kids for crunchy little pizzas and melted butter toast. Now I stay making myself all hungry!
For me, it's the fridge. Preserves food for days, months, weeks, even years! And you can eat food straight out of the fridge, making it unnecessary to have a stove, if you'll eat sandwiches the rest of your life. On hot days, you can open the fridge and get a tarp and make your own "igloo".
Gas range and oven.
I can make hot ramen or saimin, or even stew with fresh market-bought vegetable. With fresh market-bought meat, I can roast, braise, fry, or stew. I can make warm or hot milk, melt chocolate, make popcorn, or cook rice (if my rice cooker is broken).
More importantly, it works 24/7 during power outage.
I like a little teapot, short and stout, cute little handle, cute little spout.
Drop in a Mighty Tea Leaf bag and let it steep,
Pour it quick or I'll fall asleep!
