8. Weird that I overlooked this, but I use my coffee maker AND Foreman
grill more often than the microwave now. I guess I just live less of a microwave existence than before.

3. Cast-iron skillet
$14 Lodge cheapie.

We use it for nearly everything.

My Kitchen-Aid mixer is probably the appliance I use the most at once (if that makes sense). I'll make brownies, lemon squares, snickerdoodles, meringues, and some bread all at once, and then not touch it for a month.

21. I don't even own most of those things
I do use the microwave constantly. But as for the things on the list, the only ones I have are a toaster and a blender, and I only use the blender when I make soup. I probably use my bread maker more often than my blender, and I use that about once a month.

I think gadgets in general are way overrated.

30. You snob! I bet you even use "that thing under the stove"
As Peg Bundy called the oven.

And yes, I am joking. I probably use the stove a bit more than the coffee maker.
