Have you cut back on buying cooking appliances or gadgets you use a few times

I never know which ones will not be used until I get them. I thought and thought before I got my digital pressure cooker and am glad I got it. I use it at least once a week. I got an ice cream maker and thought for sure I would use it a lot and after the first year forgot about it. My yonanna is one of my favorites and I use it a lot but thought I wouldn't. I still use my bread machine which was one of the first to come out but only to do the dough. The reason I end up not using something is because of lack of storage and it's just too much trouble to get a gadget or appliance out. I will still keep buying new and interesting things since if something can make my life easier it's worth the gamble.

I go through phases of what I use the most. If I don't use something in 3 years I give it to my SIL for their yearly cancer yard sale. Sometimes she keeps it awhile to see if she wants it.

Yes, no more space, lol, and I know what kind of foods we like and how we like them cooked, so I now have all the appliances/gadgets I need for those purposes.

I try but am not always successful. Had to sit on my hands yesterday not to buy the MCM egg cooker and the Lock & Lock bowls with handles, LOL.

I'd probably say well over 1/2 of the things I've bought are regularly used.

I just need to stay away from all the "chopper/mandoline" items and stick to my trusty 'ole inherited Oscar mini-food processor.

Recently thought about a bread baker and deep fryer and then remind myself I got rid of those 10 yrs. ago before my move to FL because they were seldom used...

I really don't have any we don't use. I don't use the crock pot often, but do use it. I use the bread maker a couple of times a week; use the food processor probably once a week; use the mixer ever couple of weeks; use a coffee maker every day (we have a keurig hubby uses, a Nespresso I use for iced coffee, and another grind and brew--and we use them all); use a pressure cooker occasionally and I don't regret that I have it; and wouldn't give up the egg cooker! The egg cooker is a cheap and wonderful item!

Sooner...shame on you! LOL You've just sold me on the egg cooker. DH wanted it for hard boiled eggs (his famous potato salad) and omelets and I love poached eggs.

Barbara, I stopped doing that, for the most part, after my Quesadilla Maker. I go back to the cast iron, grill pans, dutch ovens and buffet casseroles every single time.

I had a serious fetish for slicers. I don't know why because you still have to cut the produce small enough. After a few uses, I always went back to my favorite knife.

I try to only buy multipurpose tools, electric pressure cooker, blender, food processor, things like that.
