Kitchen meme

Via coth

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.

I wonder how many pasta machines, breadmakers, juicers, blenders, deep fat fryers, egg boilers, `melon ballers sandwich makers, pastry brushes, cheese boards, 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, ice cream makers, fondue sets, healthy-grills, home smokers, tempura sets, tortilla presses, electric whisks, cherry stoners, sugar thermometers, food processors, bacon presses, bacon slicers, mouli mills, cake testers, pestle-and-mortars, and sets of kebab skewers languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards.

My additions: mixer, sushi presses or mats, cheese molds, yogurt maker, electric box grater, electric carving knife, sprouting jar.

I looked at this list with a bit of "huh?" Why do you need a cake tester if you have knives? Also clearly all the meat stuff is not required. Breadmaker, food processor and ice cream maker all now combined into kenwood along with electric whisk and gizmo for turning dairy product into cream.

Isn't a mixer the same as a food processor? Or do you see it as smaller?

I see a mixer as a thing that makes cake batter, and a food processor as a thing that slices and grates things.

This exactly. Food processors often market themselves as being good for mixing, but they're really not.

I have only four items on this list. It's a miracle I manage to feed myself :)

You are the second British person on my flist to do this meme and not hvae a tea strainer. Huh?

[emmzzi.livejournal.com]

I do not drink tea that often!

[emmzzi.livejournal.com]

many foods do not technically require implements.

[executrix.livejournal.com]

Heresy! Although I have to admit that while I remember Val brewing up at five-minute intervals when I stayed chez vous, I don't remember how much tea you drank.

Water, diet coke and the occassional peppermint tea for me, which comes in a bag.
