I saw a thread on another forum where a newbie was wondering what kind of electrical kitchen appliances people were hauling around in their RVs, so that he could duplicate everyone else's inventory.
You'd be amazed at all the stuff.
Sweet Wife and I still tend to carry over our minimalist mentality from our backpacking days. So I showed her that thread.
Me: "Look at all the stuff these people are dragging around with them"
Her: "Like what?"
Me: "All kinds of stuff, waffle irons, electric skillets, deep fryers, toaster ovens, blenders, ice makers, margarita machines, egg beaters, crock-pots..."
Her: "I want a crock-pot"
Me: (silence....) Really? (Had the trailer for 8 years, now she wants a crock pot)
Her: Big enough to get a chicken in"
Me: "Under $20"
Her: "OK"
So on the way home from church we stopped at Walmart and get one of these.
Crock-Pot 4-Quart Slow Cooker, Black - Walmart.com
To add to our toaster and 5 cup coffee maker. (I'll tell you, this RV life is making us soft.)
We now have 3 electric kitchen appliances.
And it turns out to be a good thing. She likes making stuff in the crock pot so it gives her something to look forward to doing. And since it was so blasted hot on our trip last week, she did 3 dinners in the crock pot which we sat outside to avoid heating up the trailer.
So what's in YOUR cabinet? What are all of you lugging around?
