@violet1183‌'s dream inspired me ...

What's your favorite single use/purpose kitchen item?

I do really love our waffle maker (which I didn't really expect to), but the garlic press I think wins. I was super skeptical when DH bought it, but I use the heck out of it!

My egg slicer!! Use it for strawberries and olives as well.

My electric mixer. Lumpy cake is the worst.

My keurig. I love my crockpot and kitchenaid stand mixer but I'd probably die without the keurig

Blender and toaster oven tie! We are a smoothie household and toaster oven for same reasons workinit said!

I use my crock pot more but I luff my garlic press.  No stinky fingers and no too chunky chunks of garlic.

Toss up between slow cooker or rice maker!

Have you used your rice maker to steam veggies??

I use my rice cooker for steaming veggies, fish and chicken

Adding another. I don't know what I do without my temptation bakeware. It gets used daily, sometimes twice! My MIL got big brownie points when she bought me the set for my birthday 2 years ago.

Dutch oven!

Although Dutch oven seems too multi use.

So maybe my French Press for my coffee!

@libberluru‌ I always put seasoning salt on my chicken, nothing on the veggies, and lemon juice on the fish as they steam.

Crockpot especially since I discovered the liners you can put in them so you practically have no cleanup. Cast iron skillet gets a lot of usage to.

I think I'm in love with my crockpot too.

Definitely my Keurig! I only drink 1 cup of coffee per day. Before the Keurig, I would brew a small pot and refrigerate the leftovers. I also use my Keurig for making pitchers of iced tea.

Ooh, so many! Like others have said garlic press, crockpot and keurig are way up on the list. But honestly, I think my salad spinner would be the number 1. I was so frustrated when my handle busted. How do you dry the washed lettuce? Towels?

I don't have 1 single favorite kitchen item. I've got a few.

My mixer.
My vitamix.
My crock pot.
My pampered chef slap chop.
My pampered chef cook/bake ware.

DH and I have decided to get each other a gift for Christmas this year, so I'm wanting a few kitchen things.

I want a few chef knives.
A bacon grease container.
A griddle.
