I've actually made waffled falafel and it's a wonderful fat free way to cook it . ( but a little dry - I put no oil in mine)

Of course an air fryer might be even better ... anyone try making falafel balls in an air fryer?

I can't get rid of the toaster because well, I love toast and occasionally I just need to have a slice- Ezekial bread at least...but it is in a cabinet, under the counter...I should get a smaller one though...don't need a four slicer.

Actually just last night I took my 2 rice cookers and put them in my outside storage, I use them for company but not for me. One is a mini one I got because I was alone now, really should just get rid of that.

I have a Ronco Ready Grill that looks like a giant toaster for meat... I considered putting that out in the outer sanctum as well... but was like, Why don't I use this? Probably because throwing meat in my cast iron skillet is much easier...for now it is still in the cabinet.

We should have an appliance potluck. Come and trade for things we want. 

I've gotten rid of a rice cooker,yogurt maker (and yet there is another one in the cabinet unused), and the slice toaster.

Still have that toaster oven although I'm on the no toast train.

My son uses the Cuisinart griller almost every day. He makes big meaty/cheesy sandwiches and sausage.

Me too! DS is a chef and wants a red one to replace his white one - his bday is coming (I'd get the older one)!

I have a big ass toaster/convection oven and I love it.  My kids make their frozen junk food (fries, nuggets, pizza) in it.  For the family, I bake chicken, roast asparagus and brussel sprouts, bake salmon...

 

I'd rather use it than heat up the oven, especially in the summer.

 

I don't eat toast, either.

I use my bullet, but it's not of the kitchen appliance variety!
