I'd love to trade my Kenwood Chef for a Kenwood Chef, Titanium series.
Why? Because on that one you can use the food processor accessory and
I miss it sorely.

Beware, those super-fast dishwashers are only fine on *freshly soiled*
stuff (once they have dry stuff on them, they don't wash well), and
only for glasses and cups, not food-soiled dishes. We had one where I
worked before and we saw that. Of course in bars that's no issue, so
many cups and glasses to wash they have to run the dishwasher often
and nothing has the time to dry off.

I've got a Krups. It gets pretty hot, but as JSB said cleanup is a
mess. It's very handy for reheating pizza and deep fried chicken.
Last night I used it to melt the cheese on french onion soup. I have
a shelf for it, but if I had to leave it on the counter I probably
wouldn't have it.

Yup. An in an inspired moment, I solved one problem. We have too much

You know those hanging shelves you can get for your closet? Usually have
sweaters and things racked up in them?

Got 2 and put them in a freestanding closet unit we had. Works great.
Closet even matches the kitchen <grin>.

Those stoopid things don't grind anything, they are incapable of

I had one of those millstone coffee grinders but it was one of
those that stored the unground beans above the grinder whereas
the best thing to do is to freeze them for keeping. I'll admit
that the grinder did a good job of producing varied grinds when
it did not jam.

My Solis coffee mill holds only enough beans for 4-5 full pots so I've
no concern they'll degrade in less than a week. The reason your mill
jams is because freezing beans causes their oil to exude to the bean
surface and cold oil is sticky, your beans clump and don't enter the
grinding mechanism. Let your cold beans come to room temperature out
in the open, stir them a bit, and then place in grinder.... if they
clump the next time you grind give then a stir with the handle of a
wooden spoon with the grinder off My Solis is certainly not the
finast coffee mill, nor is it very costly (about $140 in 2001), but
it's a thousand times better than those ridiculous whirly blade
thingies.... I just don't see the point in spending the money for
costly coffee beans only to ruin them by chopping the bejeesus outta
them with those toys r us outboard props.... then you may as well use
instant.

Ours (came with the meat grinder attachment) works just fine! The

Rolling pin works well too LOL. We also have a hand-cranked pasta maker
anyway which predates the pasta extruder. We also have a hand-cranked
pasta extruder which seemed to appear in the cupboard one day....

So you're saying you don't have one and really know nothing about
them? Better email Alton Brown and tell him he's grinding spices the
wrong way.

I'll agree they're useless for their intended purpose. (coffee)

We get 99% of our coffee from Boca Java.

http://www.bocajava.com/

It comes UPS once a month. Some of the roasts are quite oily and will
occasionally jam my Delonghi grinder. A little shake takes care of
it. The beans are never frozen. My grinder was much less than yours
but I will agree it's much better than the whirly gig thingies.

And not just any burr grinder. A conical burr grinder allows more grind
control than a flat burr grinder can. My experience with flat burrs is
that just about everything comes out nearly espresso fine.

Hmm. I must've gotten lucky. I've got a $30 Krups that makes no mess at all,
and the grind is uniform. It's got a blade.

I'd like a tong like this: http://fantes.com/tongs.htm#onepiece #4479.

The ones that have the folded in edges are impossible to clean.

Do you have a Target near you? I absolutely love their house brand
(spring loaded) kitchen tongs. They are flat tipped for better
gripping/turning and have a ring so you can keep them closed when not
in use. Unfortunately although I see something similar online, I
don't see what I like. They used to come in packages of 3 different
lengths for about $6, now you only get the medium and short one for
about the same amount of money. I really like the longest one. It's
great for working near something hot like a bbq or something that
splatters like bacon or frying. I hope they continue to carry it...
even as a separate item.

Your Krupp Coffee Grinder can also be used to grind things like nutmeg,

Better get it soon if you want it for that price. I was contemplating it at
$80. By the time I decided, it was $85.
I use mine a lot.

This evening I had salmon. Tests the temperature instantly.

A FP is good for replacing a dough cutter for that kind of dough.
Something that needs kneading needs a mixer w/dough hook. I have
both, but if I had to choose one I'd go for the FP.

A good stand mixer will handle dough very well indeed, whether it's KA
or Kenwood. I have a 30+ year old stand mixer that's still going
strong.

It arrived yesterday -- a new electronic scale. The tray on my trusty
EKS broke and this was a gift I selected:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/younp6

http://www.amazon.com/Escali-Primo-D...Chrome/dp/B000
7GAWRS/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1197766904&sr=1-1

It's an Escali Primo for just under the free shipping minimum.
So I bought a book, too.

It weighed a 4-oz stick of butter at 4-oz. Yeay! And it weighs in
increments of 1/10 ounce and 1 gram, finer than my EKS.

Rob's glued the tray back on the EKS and it will go in The Widow
Dorothy's garage sale this spring.

Maybe, maybe not. What kind of dough? I like the KA for bread doughs
but the FP for noodle dough. I can walk away and let the KA knead, too;
the fp requires one to be there while its does its thing. I do mix my
Cream Cheese Coffeecake dough in the fp, though.

Good luck with whichever you choose.

I've made your CCC too and use the FP also. Thanks for the reminder.
I might have to dig up the recipe and make it again.

Nothing like the Wilde method of food preparation. You know, Oscar Wilde
who once stated "Why stand if you can sit, why sit if you can lay down."

Same basic principle in play here. The thing is, the rolling pin method
won't give you a really consistent texture when it comes to things like
rice krispies.

The grinder will.

Tape the battery door in place. Otherwise, they fall off when you
