Andie, that's such a wonderful thing that you're doing. Good luck with it. How rewarding it must be to know that you're helping people to help themselves. There's not enough of it.

As far as the OT goes, I still love kitchen gadgets too. I could never do without my stove top!
I still use my stick blender to make Hollandaise Sauce, it's the easiest and less messy way to make it. Love my Turbo Oven, pressure cooker, slow cooker & Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Also love my Le Crueset pan and dutch oven.

I just sold my Food processor. and have my bread maker for sale. I'm sure there is more that will go. Why keep them if you don't use them.

Well, there is the "Just-in-case" idea.   There are times when an appliance will fail - usually at a more or less critical time and if you have no back up ...............

I have older, still working, backup appliances for those I use most because i have experienced the failure of one of these necessary implements at the worst possible time.  If I had not had the back up, I would have been trying to find a replacement at a time when few if any stores were open.

I agree MJ.....Kudos to you Andie 

Umm......I think I've actually added to my appliance inventory since purchasing the TM 
I added an ice cream machine, a new digital hand mixer 
The only appliance I have stopped using is the rice maker and blender.....and I just can't bear to part with the others

Steamer went to my brother
Food Processor went to a friend who loves Jamie Oliver's 30 min meals
Juicer went to my parents (who hate it too) lol  I want to get an Oscar though hehehe
Blender went

Kept slow cooker for obvious reasons hehe Kept my kenwood as I find some recipes TMX makes my cupcakes a bit "tough" and as already said... I can then have 2 things running!!! Kept grinder for small jobs where I don't feel like having to wash TMX for a teaspoon! lol  DH loves griller for sausages but I don't use it much.  We still have the electric frying pan too.

Well my bread maker, electric mixer (7 year old sunbeam) and food processor (very old and well used) all broke in 2010.  That's the main reason why I got a thermomix as I felt that it could do most of these jobs, one way or another.  I threw out or put in the garage my ice shaver, my hand operated mincer, my potato ricer, and my food mill.  No regrets!
