Rice cooker and instant pot are 2 I can do without because I cook rice on the stove and have a stove-top pressure cooker.
― o. nate, Tuesday, 1 March 2022 18:00 (two years ago) link
I used to do that, but the convenience of setting the rice and beans a-cooking without further attention frees up headspace for cooking the burrito fillings, or pilaf/chickpeas/kabobs, etc

Frequency of use rankings would be different from "how valuable it is in making finished products better" rankings, so this is sort of a combo ranking of both:1- elec. kettle2- (burr) coffee grinder3- microwave4- blender/food processor (2 tools that use the same motor)5- toaster6- spice grinder (retired blade coffee grinder)7- hand mixer8- immersion blender9- instant pot10- stand mixer

Nice. I do this too and forgot to include it

Same! Clearly the "best thing you can do to upgrade your coffee is upgrade your grinder" message really circulated.

I would probably consider it if I had more counter space available in my kitchen. At this point I can pretty much cook those items on auto-pilot.
