pressure cooker - don't own one - I've always been a bit scared of them

electric frying pan - couldn't live without! Ours is huge - makes 8 grilled cheese at once

snow cone maker - we had a manual one - it was dusty - threw it out just a week ago while paring down for our move

heavy duty cookie sheets - yup!

heavy duty stainless mixing bowl sets with plastic lids - wish I had a nice set. motley assortment of big bowls, most without lids will have to do.

pots and pans with glass lids - yes! although I probably have more than I need

13X9 glass dish with plastic lid and carrying case - I own three. Indispensible

blender - currently broken, and I'm suffering

bread Maker (electric) - what? who needs it? baking bread the old-fashioned way is fun.

loaf pans - a must! I must make banana bread, pumpkin bread, apricot bread, or just plain regular bread, or meatloaf twice a week

bundt pan - hmmmm. I don't use it often (maybe once or twice a year?), but when I want it, no other shape will do.

punch bowl - you can always borrow one from the RS if you need it

deep cassarole dishes (7x11x4) - I really only need them for one recipe I can think of (Dutch Puff Babies), but there is no substitue - the high sides make the dish. I have two, since our family can devour four batches of puff babies at one sitting - make two, dish those up, then refill them and pop the next two in the oven to have them ready when we're hungry for more.

Electric steamer - ours holds four artichokes or three broccoli stalks (chopped) - you can make rice in it (but it doesn't hold enough rice for our family any more, so I use a pot on the stove for that now), steam tamales - yeah, indispensible!

Dehydrator - at one time, I used it a lot, but I haven't hauled it out in probably two years now. Could do without it, but I like knowing it's there in case I want it.

Egg timer - I have one of those really cool egg-shaped ones that goes in the pan with your eggs and changes color as it heats up

egg-beheader - I really had to search for this tool

speakerphone - perhaps not what most would consider a kitchen gadget, but that's the only place I need it - so I can work on making dinner while on the phone
