Most used kitchen appliance



Recommended Posts

So I'm 2 weeks post op and starting to think long term as far as cooking goes. Anybody have a favorite kitchen appliance that helps them make super yummy healthy dishes? I was looking into getting a food processor and a bullet. What are your favorites?

I love my Ninja with the travel cups. I also am starting to think I will need a toaster oven soon. My meals I make are very small, so it makes sense to use one instead of firing up the big oven.

I am about to order a Nu Wave oven... Have read great reviews on it. I am literally always on the go and you can take something from the freezer, put it on their, and in less than half the time of using the oven it is cooked.

I love my Vitamix. I add unflavored Protein Powder to all the Soups and smoothies that I make. I've had one for several years, just never used it much. Now it sits on my counter and I use it several times a week. Tonight is Vitamix tortilla Soup night. Yummm.

I could not be without my steamer. I often have food leftover or will cook enough for another day and the steamer keeps my food, especially meats, from being dried out when I reheat it. I would recommend one to anyone. I use it whenever I warm something in the microwave. This one is small/mini but it's just big enough for me. I have a larger one as well but I always reach for this one because of the size.

For the first month or so, my Ninja was my best friend. Now that I'm a little further out, my kitchen scale is something I use every day. Also some good 4oz (or so) freezer to microwave containers. Makes portioning out food very easy. When I cook, usually on the weekends I wrap everything for me in single serve portions. Some I freeze some just refrigerate for immediate use. Makes eating during the week much easier.

Good luck!

I love my George Foreman grill.

My 5 main appliances:

George Foreman grill

2 food processors - (1) full size, (1) 2 cup - both from Wal-Mart

Cast Iron Dutch Oven - Does double duty as a skillet too, I usually saute my shredded chicken in it with taco sauce.

shaker bottle from Wal-Mart - good for shakes and for mixing Taco mix with Water.< /p>

My vitamix was just delivered today, It's going to get a workout this weekend. :)

The microwave is the most important thing in my kitchen. The food processor and blender when I was in the liquid and puree stage.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
