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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
