@SandySparkles I have come back to your question here I think 4 times now as I am struggling to pick a favorite. I too luv my kitchenaid pro mixer and use it mainly for bread and pizza dough. But, I also luv my Vitamix for smoothies, grating cheese etc. For small gadgets I luv my rikohn ( not sure I spelled that right) can opener that makes the edges of the cans smooth. Great product and use almost every day for years. Hopefully that is not too much stuff!

@SaveTheTurtles Welcome!🥰 You have GREAT favorites! I originally purchased the Vitamix many sunsets ago for smoothies because I was SO impressed with the demonstrations, but find I use it for making soups, all natural peanut butter, fresh butter, creams, etc!😁 I can understand why the Kuhn Rikon can opener is one of your favorites because it performs per demonstration! I have a small one and the larger one. The lid lifter is GREAT added bonus!❤

THANK you SO much for caring to share this evening!🤗

I have 3 best kitchen gadgets. My battery operated can opener, my pull and chop and my jar lid opener.

These 3 save me a lot of aggravation and hand and wrist pain and all are from QVC.

@Imaoldhippie Welcome!🥰 You have three of the BEST favorite gadgets.😊 I do not recall if I have seen the battery operated can opener mentioned, but have seen demos in the past! I imagine it to be quite useful and FUN watching it spin around!😁 You make a GREAT point about saving you from hand and wrist pain, and just sold a few for The Q because I am certain arthritis, carpal tunnel sufferers etc will LOVE❤ that benefit!😊

THANK you SO much for caring to share your favorites this evening!🤗

Our wood pellet grill

Battery powered oven meat thermometer

@ECBG Welcome!🥰 I have never had a wood pellet grill but have heard WONDERFUL things about them! Do you use yours often during these summer months? Does the meat thermometer eat batteries or do they last awhile? That appears to be something that would also be a handy tool for me to have!😁

THANK you SO much for caring to share your favorites this evening!🤗

Moen is my favorite plumbing device. We got talked into buying the shower components when we "gutted" our home and did new bathrooms, by the girl that was selling them and telling me why she liked them. It is a never fail. The Moen is so great and it does not leak, it has great water pressure (unlike the Delta that my neighbor has).

As for the sink faucet, the first time I use it is in the morning when I make coffee. My coffeemaker is nearby. I pull my hose over and fill the well of the coffeemaker.

Then after I have cooked my husband's breakfast, I bring the copper fry pan to the sink and spray it a couple times with this and all I have to do after the force of the sprayer removes all egg remnants, is put a drop or two of dishwashing liquid in, spray again with the hot water and it's clean.

I use is so many times per day. If there is something stuck in the bottom of a glass or the bottom of a cup and I cannot reach into it ,the sprayer does the trick. No pushing my hand down into a glass and risking it breaking while I am cleaning it.

My husband likes oatmeal occasionally and oatmeal pans are a mess to clean up. Not with the sprayer. It loosens the oatmeal and I just swish it one or two times with the sprayer and then like with the fry pan, a couple drops of dish liquid and hot water spray and voila, it's done. It's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I love my microwave over the range so much. DH likes bacon and I prefer making it in the microwave than using a fry pan or the large oven. So I get turkey bacon, place it on a paper plate, cover it with the splatter cover for microwaves and in 2 minutes, we have bacon. I pop the toast into the toaster while the bacon is cooking and it's all done simultaneously.

My husband is quite ill and has difficulty walking and my days are pretty much consumed with care for him, so anything that makes our lives easier, I am all for it.

I have that Kuhn-Rikon can opener and have had it for years. That is so great for opening cans without leaving a sharp edge or without making a mess. I love it too. I love my scrub daddy. I love my mini silicone gloves for removing basket from Instant Pot. I use them for my corningware as well. So many things that make my life easier.

Another thing I have loved is my new dishwasher has a 3rd rack, a top tray for utensils. Great idea. Wish I had that all the time I was washing dishes constantly when the children were at home.

Same for me @Carmie! I use mine all the time so I never put it away.
Keep it at hand. 👩‍🍳

@SandySparkles
If you're going to start so many survey threads be careful about just asking for "name something" or just a list without asking posters also to talk about why or something related which makes it a conversation.
otherwise they're 'Gamer' game threads & Mods move them to 'Gamers' like your TV Movies comediens thread went over to 'Gamers'.
Threads of just a name or names, or a list of things, etc with no discussion is considered a sort of quick answer game here on the boards.
hth!!! 🤗

@buglebeads I did not know about a game forum until seeing another post about it earlier, but LOVE❤ being here. Several of my previous included why, but I will be mindful and make certain they all do moving forward, as so many posters have expressed how much they enjoy them.😁

THANK you SO much for caring to share this morning!🤗

You're welcome @SandySparkles !🤗

The 'Gamers' forum is here in the QVC Community, listed on the left side of the page.
It's below 'Community Chat' & above 'Among Friends'.

You can start new threads there just like you do here in 'Kitchen' or 'Among Friends' etc.

Dont have to go anywhere else, it's right here with all the other threads & posts! 😄

@buglebeads @SandySparkles

If you do NOT SEE "Gamers" listed on your menu....email the Mods to set it up for you. di

QVCsocialteam@QVC.com

@Desertdi Welcome back!🥰 So that is how you do it!😁 I have never had it on my computer, and showed a picture of that earlier, but was not aware there was a process to getting it! If I ever need it, I now know how to get it!❤

THANK you SO much for caring to revisit with this helpful information!🤗

I have a little milk steamer/frother I bought from QVC years ago that I love and use to make cappaccinos. It was a Q brand. Only $20. I've never seen one remotely like it.

I also have a shaved ice maker very similar to the Sno Cone Maker that Q is currently featuring on its home page as an online special. It was an impulse buy at Target years ago. I love putting shaved ice in sodas and ice tea. Also makes it easy to mix a smoothie in a blender.

@AuntMame I REMEMBER that frother!😁 That was 20 dollars well spent for it to have lasted for many years! I have also never owned the shaved ice maker but can imagine it being used often!😊

@buglebeads I appreciate your interest, but it does not, and has not shown on my page. I will move forward as per my previous statement, and make certain they are in the form of a question, or worded accordingly!❤

My original Keurig coffee maker, I've had it for over 10 years at least and it still works just fine. I use it daily

Corningware stove top percolator (from 1970ish)

I inherited one of these from my parents. It had orange flowers on it. After many years of use, it finally cracked and had to be tossed. Wish I could find another one. I mostly used it as a teapot to steep tea in.

@kittycatmeow : Try EBay. I just looked and some with reasonable price.
