How many gadgets do you have in your kitchen and do you use them all?
We have a tendency to go through stages - we'll buy something, use it a lot and then store it in a cupboard until we sell it in a garage sale or throw it our. Things like a pie maker, sandwich maker etc.
We got rid of things when we bought the Thermomix, but we still have gadgets we don't really use. I have a Kenwood I rarely use, but don't want to get rid of it: 1) it was a wedding gift, 2) I will occasionally drag it out for whipping cream or egg whites, and 3) it's kind of expensive.
I have a dehydrator I don't use. It was a cheapy and doesn't work well. I didn't want the spend the money on an expensive model and not use it, but it turns out I don't use the cheap version because it's useless.
We also have a kettle, toaster and coffee pod machine, which are used almost daily.
I now want to buy a donut maker, just because I'm currently craving donuts but want to make my own GF, healthy versions. I know it will be a phase, so I'm not going to spend much - maybe $20-40.
Looking at catalogues has made me realise what a lot of useless rubbish there is to fill a kitchen with.
