My most used kitchen appliance would have to be the kettle closely followed by the cooker! I love my breadmaker but am still relatively new to using it so the results are a bit hit and miss! 
My favourite has to be my slow cooker! I love the way I can throw everything in it before I leave the house in the morning and come home to the smell of a lovely cooked meal, with no effort at all. 
I have had a few mishaps with it though... like putting everything in and forgetting to switch it on before I left the house. That didn't go down too well with the family!
You can cook everything from a curry or chili to a stew or casserole in it!
What kitchen appliance could you guys not live without or is your favourite and wouldn't want to be without?

Yup,it's the same with me. The most used kitchen appliance is the kettle; I boil water at least 3 times a day, followed closely by the rice-cooker. As to my favorite, it's the slow cooker - convenient and easy to clean! Right, I can cook quite a number of things with it - curries, casseroles and soups!

It is a great appliance and the beauty of it is I can go out and leave it on without worrying the house will burn down or the food will burn!

My favorite kitchen appliance would have to be my sandwich maker that I just got a few months ago. I love that thing. I know it's not the best or easiest thing in the world to clean and what not, but I really love that I can throw just about anything on bread, pop it in the maker for a few minutes and I can have a different meal and it doesn't take forever to cook. It's wonderful really.

Yes I have one of them too. They are very quick and convenient. A tip to cleaning it... Wipe it down whilst it is still hot! You have to be careful not to burn yourself but everything wipes straight off... rather than sticking as it cools down!
Have you tried banana and syrup toasties? Very yummy!

Like you the kettle is probably the most used appliance, but the one I couldn't do without is the cooker. I make a a lot of food in the oven and boil vegetables on the hob. I don't like using the microwave except for defrosting frozen stuff so I probably couldn't do without that as I freeze a lot of food to stop it going off.

Yes I do that too! I have a large slow cooker and whenever I make a meal i put some of it in pots and freeze them for days when I haven't time or want a quick meal!

I love both my electric frying pan and my rice cooker. I'd be lost without them. Honestly.

For me is the rice cooker. It's been with me for 5 years and have taken it during trips as well. Faithful and served my husband and me well. So far I have managed to keep the outer print clean as new. Would wipe the outside if there's a smudge. Another appliance is my TEFAL Practica 28cm Saute pan. Its so useful and got it at a good bargain with redemption points. I use this pan for cooking curry, frying veges....almost all the main dish that I cook I use this pan.

Besides the coffe pot it has to be this new grill that we just bought.
It's electric and it's just like barbecuing inside.

Ooooh. Like a George Foreman one? Where all the fat runs off in to a little tray and you can cook almost everything in it? I want one of those!
