What’s Your Favorite Kitchen Appliance?

Jessica Fisher · September 22, 2014 · 30 Comments

collage of appliancescollage of appliances

Having the right tools for the job can make any kitchen task more fun. Today, let’s talk about some favorites. I am a big fan of small kitchen appliances. I think it’s partly because I don’t like to get my hands dirty. Literally. I’m prone to dry chapped skin. Frequent washing prompts it to break out. […]

Why I Love My Small Kitchen AppliancesWhy I Love My Small Kitchen Appliances

Tonight’s our 19th wedding anniversary. Can you believe it? We’re celebrating tomorrow since tonight is hockey practice. But, my husband had planned ahead and bought something for our whole family to enjoy: an electric fondue pot (Head’s up! That’s my affiliate link.) Other women might roll their eyes, but you know me! I am a sucker […]

Why I Love My Ice Cream Maker

We’ve owned a few different ice cream makers over the years. Our first purchase was the one that you had to add salt and ice to. I think we used it twice. We had a couple cheapos afterwards that went the way of a donation truck because I didn’t use them all that often. But, […]

Why I Love My Freezer

Why I love my freezer

A freezer is one of the most important home appliances you can invest in. We’ve been talking about small kitchen appliances for the last few weeks. Since I’ve been on my feet for the last five hours trying to fill my freezer, lets chat about that not-so-small kitchen appliance, the deep freeze. A freezer is […]

Why I Love My Magic Bullet

A Magic Bullet is a small, compact blender with a powerful punch. Here’s why I love mine. Years ago my dad bought me a Magic Bullet. Yes, really. As Seen on TV, and all that jazz. I confess; I rolled my eyes. However, we’ve used that bullet for well over six years now. I absolutely […]

In case you’d forgotten the merits of the slow cooker, well, let’s review them today.    This post does include Amazon affiliate links. If you make a purchase through those links, I am paid a small amount in way of advertising fees. Which of your friends and neighbors will spend hours cooking a meal while […]

Why I Love My Toaster Oven

This week’s installation of the Small Kitchen Appliances series features the humble, yet versatile, toaster oven. For the last ten years or so, our toaster of choice has been the toaster oven. While we have owned the pop up kind of toaster, we’ve found the toaster oven to be the thing for us. My parents […]

Why I Love My Electric Griddle

This post is part of a series in which I divulge my secret love of small kitchen appliances. This week is the electric griddle! The electric griddle is one of the handiest tools for cooking for a crowd. It cooks up many pancakes, tortillas, or sandwiches easily at one time.   Once upon a time, […]

Wondering if a Keurig brewer is a good fit for you? Here’s why I love mine. In the last month I’ve made it pretty clear that I am a big fan of small kitchen appliances. I’ve waxed eloquent about the bread machine, the food processor, the immersion blender, and the waffle maker. This week let’s […]

Wondering if a waffle maker is the right purchase for you? Here’s why I love mine. Ok, I confess, a waffle maker is a unitasker. Sure, you can bake cookies in it or make hash browns. I’ve never tried either, but I’ve heard it from good sources. But, honestly, I’m okay with the fact that […]

Why I Love My Immersion Blender

Jessica Fisher · February 26, 2013 · 45 Comments

Immersion blender and cupImmersion blender and cup

An immersion blender is a super duper helper in the kitchen. Plus, it stores well. For years and years I scoffed at the immersion blender. Whatever the info-mercial promised, I wasn’t interested in. I had a food processor. What more did I need? Fast forward a few dozen years and I found myself recipe testing […]

Wondering if a food processor can help you in the kitchen? Here’s the story of our love affair. I am not a person to care about boats or cars. I drive a 96 minivan or sometimes a 02 SUV. Apparently, big ticket items don’t thrill me. Small kitchen appliances? Well, I get absolutely giddy about […]

Why I Love My Bread Machine

A bread machine can be a valuable asset to your kitchen. I can, but don’t want to, live without it. Once upon a time, I was a lost cause in a kitchen store. Santa Barbara was a fairly smallish town when I lived there as a college student, newlywed, and then a young mom. And […]

Buying Kitchen Equipment Inexpensively

Jessica Fisher · January 14, 2010 · Leave a Comment

In a former life – prekids and prior to going debt-free – one of my favorite pasttimes was browsing kitchen stores. Since we lived in Santa Barbara, CA, there was no shortage of frou-frou kitchen boutiques. And I paid a pretty penny building my cook’s kitchen. Due to lack of shopping options and the double-income-no-kids […]
