The brand I have is a WearEver. It's enameled metal, not totally ceramic all the way through. You can't machine wash it without shortening its use life, but hand washing is easy. Rinse with soap, and wipe. Everything I have cooked in it comes right off regardless of how burnt. And it's oven safe to 350. There are other brands too, but this one has the best reviews and cooks like a dream. I love it. You may have to season the pan occasionally as the enamel wears off, though, and especially if it chips. No metal spatulas with this pan.

Hmm, my folks have at least one set of the WearEver enameled cast iron. Might have to see about swiping 'em. Or convince the parental units that a set of my own would be the perfect gift for birthday/Christmas.You're only delaying the inevitable, you run at your own expense.

The first and foremost will always be a cappuccino maker. I don't drink drip-brew.
And my toaster oven. I have all kinds of things I use every day and couldn't live without, but my T.O. is the one thing outside the "usual" list that I feel I need. It allows me to prepare a quick meal for one out of the freezer (something that needs to be baked) without wasting electrcity by using the big oven. I've been known to quickly dry a hand-washed laundry item on top of it, too. Oh, and if you're careful, you can melt candle leftovers in their holders in it.
I guess I should add that I do find my new food processor indispensible. Sure, I could use my box grater or a knife, but this helps with big shredding/chopping jobs, and I don't grate my fingers. It has a blender, too, which I use to grind regular, cheap coffee to use in my espresso machine. I can pay under $5 a pound for coffee rather than $7 to $10 a pound for espresso grind. Columbian works just fine for a nice shot. Oh, and the processor comes with a dough hook, which I haven't used yet.Last edited by Food Lady; 02-05-2014, 09:42 PM."Is it hot in here to you?

For me it's my crock pot, especially since I work 3rd shift. I can come home, get the kids off to school, toss everything for a meal in there and by the time I wake up dinner is ready to go. I also like to use it to make huge batches of soup or whatever then divide it up for my work lunches.
Once we get our tax return I plan on buying a rice cooker and a bread machine, because I think I would use those a lot too.
