Your least and most used kitchen appliance/utensil?

That’s interesting to me. I have one and might use it twice a year - Thanksgiving & Christmas.

I use my instant read digital probe thermometer a lot. There are a lot of uses for them that people don't think about.

I find that blood and fingertips ruins the flavor of my foods.

I find that it adds a special character to the pickling process, but to each their own.

It's called "blood sausage" for a reason dude....

This is well worth its weight in gold!! Beats those FoodSaver-type machines hands down!! You can even marinate, vacuum seal conytainers & vacuum seal liquids!! Can a FoodSaver vacuum seal liquids? I think not!! I would never go back to those machines. Ever!!!!

Just the opposite for me. I use my vacuum sealer a lot. I buy steaks and other meats on sale, and especially when they are marked down because they are a day or two away from their "sell by" date. I vacuum seal them and freeze them. I also use it to seal foods for sous vide, which I do at least one every month. I order bags in bulk online, because I use so many -- they are cheaper that way.

On the other hand, I use my KA stand mixer maybe twice a year???

I use THIS to assist me with my baking needs. More powerful than any mixer that I've ever owned or used!!
