Last week I prepared a lovely chicken curry before going out for the day and left it in my trusty old slow cooker so that it would be ready when I got home.
However when I got home there was no welcoming curry smell and my slow cooker was cold to the touch - the uncooked chicken sat in the pot looking very miserable - the slow cooker had died!!!!!
I find that my slow cooker is one of the most essential pieces of equipment in my kitchen. I can add the worst quality meat, and when it has finished cooking, it will be the most tender meat you have ever tasted, but here it was DEAD
I was straight into town to buy another, I could not cope without one!!
What kitchen appliance would you most miss?

I would miss my cake mixer!! Oh how I love that. Before I used to do it all by hand, but ever since I got the mixer, well I have become very lazy, and I love the fact that I can just literally chuck it all in there, and away it goes mixing it all in ready to be put in pans to cook in the oven! I actually think that my cakes have turned out a lot better, since using it. They are very expensive though, so I hope that it does not die on me!

For many years my slow cooker was my best friend, and it still is. I have them in several sizes. I can even make homemade yogurt in one (in jars) and bake Boston Brown Bread. This year I will make apple butter in the slow cooker. Other favorite however are the bread machine and the George Foreman Grill. Microwaves are nice but I could manage without one.

hmmmm...this is quite a tough one 
i'm going to choose my toaster oven. i can live without the microwave oven. i can make do without the gas stove. i can even figure my way around if my kettle went bust. but i don't think that i'll be able to last if i can't make a quick grill cheese sandwich with my toaster oven
