Specialty Appliances
Let’s face it—that electric griddle, panini presses, electric steamer, pasta maker, and frozen drink mixer were fun when you first got them, but the novelty has worn off. Unless you are a die hard panini fan, you can donate it to someone else, along with your steamers and whatnot. You will be amazed how much extra space you have in your kitchen once all those bulky appliances are out of the way.
You want can replace most of those specialty appliances? A decent saute pan. For instance, if you want to make a great panini without a panini press, all you need is a cast iron skillet and something to push it down against the surface of the pan to get the sear markers. Flip the sandwich over and repeat on the opposite side. See? One pan, infinite possibilities.
Miniature Baking Pans
Sure, cake pops might have been all the rage a few years ago, but people soon realized that you’re doing a lot of work for a bite of cake. Besides, do you really want to make hundreds of cake pops just to feed a small crowd? Probably not. Free up some space and give rid of those miniature baking pans.
Another kind of baking pan you can say adios to? The roasting rack. Unless you are cooking turkey more regularly than Thanksgiving, it is just a waste of space.
