My sisters love their George Foreman as well. We''re registered for a stovetop griddle/grill and panini press instead, so hopefully we''ll like it as much!

1. Food processor -- I grated 2 1/2 pounds of carrots for a cake the other day in a matter of two minutes. Also great for making humus, soups, pesto, grated cheese, sliced stuff, chopped nuts, ......
2. KA espresso machine -- Makes amazing coffee and has led me to roast my own beans and grind them fresh as needed.
Other things that are a huge help in cooking healthy & saving money:
Basic hand juicer for citrus fruits
hand crank pasta machine
blender
What I would LOVE to add to our kitchen:
KA stand mixer
Food processor with various size bins
mandalin (for thin slicing veggies)

Something my husband would LOVE to get is a Keurig single-serve brewing machine (for coffee, tea, or hot chocolate). I may need to have a talk with Santa. We love the idea of gadgets and appliances but I''m not sure what we''d get a lot of use out of. Neither one of us are huge cooks or bakers. We''re practicing more now though.

A got this little milk frother at Ikea last year for $2.99 and I use it everytime I have coffee! Just whip it up with a flavored creamer, and it''s like drinking a latte. Yum!!
We also are huge fans of the George Foreman grill. I wish I could say how great our Magic Bullet is, but we''ve only used it a couple of times. LOL! It''s good in theory, but we''re just lazy.

Here''s another for silicone spatulas...love them.
I guess I''m not that gadgety in the kitchen, although I have lots of them. My favorite kitchen thing is a good knife. I have a Wusthof 7" santoku that I love...it''s so perfect for my hand and I do everything with it. I also love my wusthof kitchen shears.
I also do like having an electric kettle.

I can''t pick one favorite. Here''s my top five.
My Meissermeister Chinese cleaver. I love that thing and use it more than any other knife even though I have some really good ones.
My rice cooker. The rice comes out better textured than on the stove and I thought I was a pretty good rice cook.
My Screwpull wine cork puller. It makes opening the bottle a snap.
My Rosti stainless wok stirrer (or whatever it''s called). I use that to cook everything.
My Tramontina giant saute pan. It''s built like a tank.

Ooo - this is fun - I have several kitchen gadgets that are my favorite!
KitchenAid Artisan Mixer
Braun Tassimo coffee maker (just like the Keurig)
Shun chef''s knife
Breville Panini Press (used it last night! yum!)
My Le Creuset dutch oven
And another one for silicone spatulas! LOVE those things!
I don''t think I could pick a favorite of any of those since they all do such different jobs in the kitchen!! But, I''m hoping to add a 14 cup food processor to the crew soon, which could possibly end up being my favorite gadget very soon - let''s see if hubby gets my"Christmas Message!"
