kitchen pot filler faucet, based on convenience alone

[Liketobake]

The Blender:D

[Big Daddy's House]

My three monster stand mixers and my monster food processor!

[flaconcy]

[samue1eb]

I will vote my electric skillet. I use it for all sorts of things: teriyaki chicken, fish, fried apples just to name a few.

[secret squirrel]

My favourite gadget is really...........I mean really sharp knives. The only safe knife is a sharp one. The other things I like are my mini blender which I use for all sorts of things and my vacume sealer which means I can take all the air out and things keep for longer in a smaller space.

I also have an electric skillet, but I seldom use it.

[missy]

I love my food processor. I just got it and use it almost every day. I cannot believe I waited so long to get one

My 1957 Case XX Chef's knife, inherited from my Mom.

[Big Daddy's House]

My Oxo utensils & gadgets.

[missy]

I was in a store yesterday and saw Rosle kitchen tools. They were very spendy.

Has anyone ever tried them?

http://www.surlatable.com/category/brands/rosle.do?method=view&shopby=&sortby=null&filterby=&asc=true&page=all&kwid=

[Big Daddy's House]

I think I've seen some of those around, but don't remember buying any of them.

But I'm mainly hooked on Oxo products, and have had great success with most of them.

[moobox]

I am in love with my blender! I make blueberry smoothies every morning with it. Sooo delicious. I also really like my one touch can opener. The kids love to use it when opening fruit cans.

[HattoriHanzo]

My favorite gadget in the kitchen is my tomato sauce machine.

[Scott]

I have to say, the best gadget I have ever used was a PacoJet machine in Switzerland. You could make a salmon farce in 5 seconds. Way cool!

My cooker.

[ElaineAbigayle]

MINE IS THE KNIFE BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT COOKING WOULD NOT BE EASY.

[Big Daddy's House]

No captioning, please. Makes long posts hard to read.

[Roberta]

My favorite gadget is the fork for without it I could not eat my creations. I could eat without a fork as cave people probably did. But it makes eating food so much tidier. :D

[Chowhound]

The fork?! That's a tool, not a gadget. ;^)
Now iffin it's one of those dainty little lobster forks that the lemon always comes stuck on... lol

[Big Daddy's House]

Yeah, the fork that you eat with is not a gadget.

[awesomeapril]

Shore it is! tools=gadgets, gadgets=tools. Its low tech. but there are many low tech gadgets...like a reemer. Not sure if i spelled that right.
btw: HI!!! it's been a while!! :) glad to be back... if no one noticed I'm still glad to be back.
My favorite gadget is the scale!

[Big Daddy's House]

Welcome back!

But I've never heard of flatware being called gadgets.

They are more popularly known as eating untensils.

[Chowhound]

Here ya go. This pizza cutter/fork can be found at contraptions.com. So it's offically a contraption. :p

[HattoriHanzo]

A quick way to put a dimple in your chin.:eek:

[Chowhound]

Good point. They've got a finger protector, but not a failsafe for people who will stick it in their mouths too far. lol
We shall call it the Robert Mitchum fork.

[HattoriHanzo]

I was thinking more along the lines of Kirk Douglas...God rest him

[Big Daddy's House]

Never saw such a thing before.

[Chowhound]

Kirk works.
So does Popeye the Sailor Man, lol.

Pretty wicked, Huh Sherm? It probably doesn't do either one very well.

[alissagiadagreen]

My Pressure cooker

[Big Daddy's House]

My deep fryer.

[robyn]

My favourite has to be my wooden spoon! It's ancient and the rest of my family would like to through it out!

[Big Daddy's House]

I've about almost a dozen wooden spoons.

But some of them, I just keep to show off, since once you use them, their luster and shine is gon.

Those would be my big Oxo wooden spoons.

[Roberta]

I like my egg slicer. What a miracle gadget!

[Big Daddy's House]

My pressure cooker is one.

[jc007d0643]

my favourite gadget has to be my mandolin with optional blades for juliennes so quick to do and much faster than me using a knife

[DaniellaBellaKing]

I love roti maker

[HattoriHanzo]

I love roti maker

:mad:

[callstar]

I would have to say my Rotary Cheese Grater and coffee machine... if that counts!

[PixieKitteh]

I love my kitchenaid and all it's wonderful attachments.

I also could not live without my sharp knives.

[Big Daddy's House]

Same here!

My two KitchenAids are a big help, and you can do lots of slicing, dicing, chopping and minsing with a good sharp knife! :)

[sunilgupta]

coffee machine is my favorite gadget in the kitchen.

[Leolady]

I would have to say my favorite gadget is my Robot Coupe R2 food processor......especially since I just found an extra bowl, blade, and cover for it to play with!

It only cost me $40 including shipping on Ebay!

[Big Daddy's House]

I think that THIS will now become my faVORITE gadget in the kitchen! :)

I am going to be installing this old sink in my kitchen in the next year.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/choclatechef/DECORATING/KITCHEN/VINTAGE%20ACCESSORIES/KITCHENSINK2400x212.jpg

And now I have found the perfect faucet for it!

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/choclatechef/DECORATING/KITCHEN/VINTAGE%20ACCESSORIES/dishmaster55.jpg

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/choclatechef/DECORATING/KITCHEN/VINTAGE%20ACCESSORIES/dishmaster.jpg

I'm gonna get the 10 inch faucet length and the 48 inch spray brush head. Isn't it RETRO Cool?

[Big Daddy's House]

Are you getting that machine as well?

[Leolady]

YEP! I sure am!

[Big Daddy's House]

It's probably going to cost you an arm and a leg!

[Leolady]

about $200.

[Big Daddy's House]

That's not too bad.

Just out of curiosity, could you tell me where you bought it?

[Big Daddy's House]

Just noticed that it costed only $39.50 back in the day! Would have been dirt-cheap at that price today!!

[Leolady]

I haven't bought it yet, but here is a couple of online sources.

[QUOTE=hainwell33;23646]Hi

---------------------

Why ?

[Big Daddy's House]

Yeah, I like stainless steel pressure cookers as well! I own two. A 6-qt Fagor and a 7-qt Kuhn Rikon. The 6-qt one hisses, while the 7-qt one doesn't.

Aluminum is nice when you first get it, but after a while, it starts losing its luster and shine, becomes dull and unattractive looking!

I had an aluminum one - a Mirro, when I moved into my very first apt.. It dulled rather quickly an it didn't look good any more. That is when I first decided to buy a stainless steel one.

[PappaLazarou]

Aluminum is nice when you first get it, but after a while, it starts losing its luster and shine, becomes dull and unattractive looking!

Don't forget that Alzheimer's has a link to aluminum cookware :(

[Big Daddy's House]

Are you saying the Alzheimer's disease is caused by, or is linked to having aluminum cookware?

Sorry, but I beg to differ. Never heard of it.

[Leolady]

I have heard of the link, but it was found in the 70s. Since then, scientists have reversed themselves saying there is no link.

[Big Daddy's House]

Thought so.

Just like they were trying to link microwave ovens and color TV's to cancer, and they found out that there was no evidence in either one!!

[Semigourmet]

My favorite new gadgets lately are the silicone gadgets. LOL

[Big Daddy's House]

As of late, my new knives.

[rudie]

Would have to say my new electric pasta maker (http://www.pastapro.org/electric-pasta-maker.html), it really makes cooking homemade pasta a breeze.

[abi_csi]

My hand held blender.

[LuvsToCook]

My favorite gadgets is my food processor and my knife. Just can't do anything without it. :)

[Darkginger]

My bread machine, my food processor, and - far cheaper - my citrus zester!

[PappaLazarou]

i love my bread machine (http://echeeserecipe.com/bread-machine),it help me to make bread (http://echeeserecipe.com/bread-recipes) and also pizza (http://echeeserecipe.com/pizza-recipe).......


Always beware of posters with numbers in their name ! And here we have a classic who after 4 whole posts thinks its about time to unleash the links :mad:

Fail !

[Timothy]

I use an Oregon Scientific BBQ temp guage (http://www.amazon.com/Oregon-Scientific-AW129-Wireless-Thermometer/dp/B0006G2WYK). I love the thing. It has a base unit with a temp probe that you stick into the thickest part of whatever you're cooking. Then, there is a stand-alone, wireless monitor that shows what the set temp is and what the current temp is. When the current temp reaches 10 degrees below set temp, it beeps at you so you can take the food off the grill to rest. Everything I've cooked since getting it has been done to perfection!

I can't say anything bad about it.

I also use it in my toaster oven and regular oven. The temp monitor has a belt clip so you can hang it on your belt while you move around the yard or house.

[PappaLazarou]

Do you have shares in Amazon ?

[SilverSage]

PappaL,

Timothy is OK. We know him from another site.
But Doel81 is spam.

[Big Daddy's House]

PappaL,

I just banned Doel81.

He's been posting recipes in the wrong forums anyway, and I became so tired of having to moderate his posts repeatedly. :mad:

Yeah Pappa, Timothy is fine, and it appears that he's a good member here.

[Timothy]

Do you have shares in Amazon ?No, I don't. I was trying to be helpful by posting a link to the item I am so pleased with. Are you the Walmart greeter who has something sarcastic to say about every person who joins the group?

What exactly is your problem? At only 4 posts, you attack me like a shark in a feeding frenzy. What exactly is your problem with me? I came here to see if I would like this forum and with only four posts, I'm attacked by the resident smart aleck. Explain why you've done this. I've done nothing wrong and yet you treat me as if I have.

My stay here may be vey short if this is the type of person I can expect to meet.

New members to a forum are asked to familiarize themselves with the forum and it's topic areas prior to posting. It would be a great idea for you, PappaL, to familiarize yourself with a new member PRIOR to attacking them for minor actions you find annoying. Your first reply to me has led me to think of you as being an over-bearing, control freak. I would suggest you start using the manners you were no-doubt taught as a youngster. You seem to have forgotten them.

Mods, Admin; Please forgive my above counter-attack, this type of behavior is rare for me and only comes out when unjustly attacked by those who have no right to do so.

As for the link; it's common practice to provide links to items being discussed on a topic driven site such as this. PappaL, if you are so isolated from the net that you are unaware of this, then I would suggest that you get out more and discover why the developers of this forum software added that feature to the selections in the reply format. It's available to be used and I did exactly what it is intended to be used for.

Timothy, please try to avoid diong this, as it only adds fuel to the fire and puts you in danger of being disiplined. I don't want that to happen to either of you. Just a friendly reminder. Thanx.

Pappa, if you have any discrepancies with Timothy, could you please send them to him in a pm to keep it private? Both of you should try to resolve this issue in private.

The board is not a public place to air dirty laundry. Thanx.

[PappaLazarou]

Thank's Sherm and I will go down that avenue. :)

[Big Daddy's House]

You're welcome!
