I was once attacked by a group of roosters that my aunt kept as pets in her backyard. Scary as shit.

No toaster oven or microwave?
Oh I was gonna post a small commentary but I didn't know if this was just pure solipsism or what ha
I haven't owned a microwave in a long time, I do not like how it makes food taste. I reheat my food in a pot or a pan with a splash of water or oil when applicableI have never owned a toaster oven or an air fryer (and I'm not especially needful of one)I have never owned a pressure cooker or a hot pot or a slow cooker (and if I had a larger kitchen I would likely get one)I have never owned a stand mixer but I intend to get one in the event that my pasta maker cacks out (one with the pasta-making attachment)My food processor is my least-used accessory (next to the waffle-iron) because I seldom need more food processed than what my immersion blender can do for me
I have owned a juicer and am not inclined to get a new one, juice gets old fast and cleaning them is not fun
Also I love cows but am terrified of bulls, my dad's farm was hired out for a grazing herd and if the bull was nearby it was a day of indoor playtime

1 Geese2. GoatsNo other animals come close. cows are too docile to be malicious but yeah if they step on you or wander through a weak fenceline you are kinda fucked

Canada geese are gross awful fuckers but I love birds-as-pets

I mostly use the microwave for making popcorn and melting butter, in addition to reheating leftovers. There are better ways to reheat most things, but sometimes convenience and avoiding the need to wash another pan wins out.

Cows can be hella malicious if they're protecting a calf.

When a styrofoam container with Chinese or Vietnamese food in it has arrived at my house and its temperature has decreased in transit, then I find myself wishing I owned a microwave. That's really the only context I ever miss out on one.
Popcorn I make in a stock pot! it's great because you can make a LOT and I never feel like a single Jiffy Pop or an Orville bag is enough for the entire movie

I have one of those HOTPOP microwave poppers. The thing works great. There is a limit to how much you can make at once, but it only takes about 3 minutes, so you can always just make a second batch.

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.
