I think we use most of the gadgets we have (apple peeler/corer, waffle maker, coffee grinder, slow cooker) on a reasonable basis. However, my husband used to always enter the raffle at a quiz he frequented, and would frequently return with gadgets. I know he gave away a panini press and a juicer in the same year because we didn't use them. I really want a tortilla press and a pasta maker, but I think we're busy enough with what we have for now...but but corn tortillas! I'm undecided.

Also, given the success of the courgettes in the Dehydrator last year this will be busy this year, hopefully!

What do you do with dehydrated courgettes?

My best kitchen gadgets are a big pottery bowl for bread making and 3 old bread tins, used to make 3 large loaves about once a week. I very rarely eat shop bought bread these days. The bowl lives on the corner of the kitchen table and has done for a long time.
The other one is a pressure cooker for beetroot, pulses and potatoes.
cheese grater, microwave, toaster

(02-07-2021, 04:50 PM)Small chilli Wrote: Apple peeler, cores & slices all in one. Very handy for good apple harvest years.
Spiralizer. Surprisingly useful.
Coffee grinder. It’s never seen coffee. It’s seen one or 2 chillies in its time.
Dehydrator. Again it’s seen the odd chilli, but it’s good for others things as well.
Slow cooker. Great for making stock & cooking lamb shank
Old kenwood chef. It only gets used for its mincer. Love that.
Pestle & mortor. Regularly used.
Cold smoker. Used when ever we get salmon, mackerel or we have a lot of cheese.
Garlic crusher. Pointless. My friend that brought it uses it every time she’s here.
Salad spinner. Very handy and regularly in use.
Bread maker. In use at least once a week.

Agree with you on the  salad spinner ..... I can’t abide soggy lettuce!
Anyone remember the tv advert with the old lady saying “I can’t abide spotty pans” ?
Gadget/equipment I’d like is a pressure cooker. One of the newer ones with digital read out and a few preset programs.
