I would like a wok. My birthday is in July. I do use the waffle iron, but it definitely isn’t in my must have for a novice list. I also have a veggie/rice steamer I use a lot. I think it’s nice, but not necessary.

I’ll address an immersion blender in the near future.

I inherited my kitchen aid mixer from my grandmother……that thing is about 25 years old and STILL GOING STRONG!!!

Tip: Use it when you’re making RED VELVET CAKE…the batter’s SO thick….the mixer just plows on through like it’s nothin.

Good call, I do love cast iron. Unfortunately we have a ceramic stove top and cast iron would scratch it. I gave my well seasoned pans away when we bought the house.

I personaly adore my cast iron pans. They also are expensive but are indistructable. I keep mine very well seasoned and have specific pans for their own purpose. One is strickly for chicken or potaoes. One for fish. One for eggs. One that is a grill for meats.And 1 that is for pancakes. I recently got a great deal at a yard sale for a 1798 (stamped on it) cast iron waffle iron. Oh yea…I also 2 diffrent sizes of dutch ovens. One for the house and 1 huge one for camping. Nothing sticks and I get a great work out as they are very heavy. I still have 2 that my great nana had…over 100 years old and still going strong.

Thanks for the great birthdy and christmas list. I have the worst pans ever and I have mericle blade knives. I Immersion blender seems so much easier then the big glass blender. And about half of the other things on yor list. Maybe I can blame that on my poor cooking skills?

I love my stand mixer, I use it to mix everthing that needs mixing. I also use my waffle iron a lot…quick easy and they make yummy waffles:)

Sarah I can really see how some people would love a garlic press. In my prior life (before kids) I worked in restaurants. I have good knife skills, so for me, it’s just faster to whack, peel, mince, than to pull out the press, argue with it that “Yes, I really want all of the clove to squash through,” and then clean it out.

Sarah you reminded me, a colander! Can’t believe I forgot that.
