That''s so funny... my mom kept telling us we needed to register for an electric carving knife. We couldn''t find one anywhere, and honestly, I think my parents used their''s maybe once a year.Date: 8/13/2009 2:44:16 AM

In the 50s it was the automatic dishwasher.
In the 60s it was the electric carving knife
In the 70s is it was the blender.
In the 80s it was the Cuisinart
In the 90s it was the espresso maker.
What are the latest kitchen necessities?
I can''t wait until I have a kitchen big enough for a stand mixer! I wanted to register for one, but there''s really nowhere to put it in our houseDate: 8/13/2009 10:02:01 AM

People are really doing their kitchens up these days.
I''d say that stainless steel appliances and snazzy fridges are the big thing for homeowners.
For those that actually like to cook and not just look at the pretty kitchen, good pans, chef-quality knives, and fun gadgets that make your life easier are always in style
Oh and standmixers have been the love of many a persons lives since the 50''s. I know I love mine to bits.
That sounds fabulous. I love tea, but I hate waiting for my water to heat up on the stove.Date: 8/13/2009 9:55:51 AM

I''m not sure how much speed it is gaining but my parents have this awesome hot water dispenser on their sink in addition to the normal faucet. It sounds kind of useless but I miss is SO much in my new house. Any time you want tea or hot cocoa you have hot water immediately. Or if you want to fill a pot to boil water, it takes less time if the water is already hot. I laughed at them when they told me they were getting it but now I will definitely be getting one in my kitchen someday.
Also its not really an appliance but I think granite (or corian, etc.) countertops are the new necessity. It seems to be a ''need to have'' on every new home-buyers list or anyone redoing a kitchen.
My parents had one of the hot water faucets in their kitchen way back when I was growing up. Not sure when the house was built. I don't remember my mom using it. Maybe she unplugged it? She still boiled water in the tea pot.Date: 8/13/2009 9:55:51 AM

I use my slow cooker all the time... at least once a week. My husband and I each had one when we got married, and are keeping them both. If you haven''t used one, it''s a pretty cheap investment ($20-30 for a standard one)... get a slow cooker recipe book and try it out. Saves you so much time and the food is always so tender and yummy.Date: 8/13/2009 11:01:35 AM

a slow cooker... you put eveything in before you go to work, ''set it and foget it,'' and when you come home its done!! and, its not just for pot roast people! there is actually so much you can do with them!! I would have to agree also that good quality pots an pans are a MUST! If you don''t have them, you may end up hating to cook...

I just don''t like clutter, or gizmos.
I don''t need a garlic crusher, or a strawberry top remover that would clutter up my drawer and that I''d have to wash.

I feel like those pod coffee makers, like the Keurig are all the rage now....not really a necessity - though some really view it that way....they always say that they don''t know how they lived before without it.....
I don''t know, I still don''t like the taste of the coffee that it makes - I am a coffee connoisseur though, still like the hand poured kind....
Me, too!!!!Date: 8/13/2009 8:34:57 AM

I''m intrigued--what is hand poured coffee? I did a Google search but all I found were several links to hand-poured coffee scented candles!
We just use a plain old drip coffee maker, but I''ve always wanted one of those balancing siphons. They''re so pretty.

This is not meant in offense. More as a confusion. Is that a joke? Or am I missing some magical hand poured meaning?
