Probably our slow cooker, but it varies with the seasons.

I can't decide between the washing machine and the dishwasher....closely followed by the microwave and bread maker  :lol:
I only use the bread maker for the kneading as my wrists don't like that nowadays.

I like my Moulinex fine herb mill, which is a bit of a misnomer cos it grinds the hardest of nuts and seeds, but I'm afraid I've given it too much work to do and killed it. I expected it to deal with cinammon bark, a bit got wedged and I think the motor burned out. Whatever, it's dying and they don't make them any more. Sob  :(  It only cost a few quid back in about 1986  :D  It's been my curry pal all these years. Waaaagh

Dunno about "most used", but certainly "a relief that it is extremely useful" as it was outrageously expensive, but we put a boiling tap in when we redid the kitchen.  I work from home, and have a couple of co-workers here during the day, and time not spent standing waiting for the kettle (or re-boiling it having walked away - for too long!) is much appreciated, saves time filling a saucepan with boiling water, and when we forget to pre-warm plates for the meal we can just run them under the boiling tap briefly.

I like my Soup Maker - basically a liquidiser with a heating element - which I use to make a bowl of soup out of whatever leftover veg was over-catered for, or left on the side of a plate, the night before.  Chuck in some stock / cube and a chilli maybe, press the button and soup is ready half and hour later when it beeps.  In Asparagus season I use it on all the woody stalks that would otherwise be thrown away, ditto for Broccoli stalks etc. (I put the soup through a Mouli - another essential gadget! - to get rid of the stringy bits)

Sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day for me to do the gardening, DIY, cooking, housework, laundry, go shopping (on the bus) and do the washing up  ::)

So I really don't think I need an excuse to use it  :nowink:
