  1. I had a toaster oven once but did not like it because the outside of it got very hot. Make sure of that before you buy one. However, I think eventually you would put it to good use, especially in winter. I am thinking of getting a Cuisinart paninni maker soon. I don't like barbecue grills and need something for steaks and grilling.

  2. Do you use Ebates.com for your online purchases?……they give you a certain percent back on things you buy…go to their website, sign up and enter store name in their search and they will track it and send checks…I use it every chance I can…
    PS…I'm not affiliated with the website at all…just like sharing

  3. These all sound like great choices..I had to live without an stove/oven for a while when I was young and in my first apartment alone..I used the same type of appliances you are using and can vouch for the fact that you can live without a stove..

  4. We love our toaster oven and use it several times a day. We love it and rarely turn the big oven on…too hot! lol You have some great choices! Hugs, Diane

  5. When the desert calls..I have a Ginny confectionary oven picked out…a beautiful RED one…it does 10 things…so I will not need my toaster…my kitchen is smaller than yours…hope to use the oven for storage…hope I can get my little galley kitchen to be as cute as the one you did.

  6. Looks nifty! Did your electric skillet come with a rack? I understand you can bake things like potatoes, chicken etc if you have a rack. I didn't know toaster ovens were so expensive! Mine is small and inexpensive. Just enough for 1 or 2 servings . I certainly couldn't cook a pizza or roast in it!

  7. The skillet is fantastic. I wonder why I quit using my old electric skillet? The recipe you posted for the beef with the mushroom soup and onion soup could easily be cooked in this skillet. I had a toaster oven years ago, wasn't crazy about it. We do like to make pasta here, but gee, boiling water for it in the summer time really heats up the kitchen.

  8. Brenda, I appreciate the research you do!
    I had a countertop oven and got rid of it because of space issues when we moved to this smaller home.
    I miss it! It was perfect for what little baking is needed for just two people. Breville is a very popular brand here in Canada and easy to come by here.
    Do you mind if I ask how you are liking your new washer/dryer?

  9. Brenda, I also have the Cuisinart Griddler and just love it. Thinking about a toaster oven, but don't know where I'd put it just now. I love small homes and blogs that show people how to enjoy life in a smaller space.

  10. I love my electric fry pan! Living in Texas, who wants to turn on an oven in the summer! It just heats the house. And before moving to Texas we lived up north without air conditioning….again, no oven use in the summer. It got so that I rarely use my oven other than holidays!

  11. I love the skillet! I might just buy one for myself. I found some wide variations of prices.for etc. Kohl.com is asking $89.99. It does help save money to comparison shop and read reviews.I never buy anything either until it' s been researched. I never noticed your missing stove when I saw your kitchen reveal, had to go back and take another look. Great job!

  12. Brenda, I love your choices. I've never seen anything like the first one. I like that it lifts out. I have a Breville, a medium size one. I love it. It make toasts, bakes, reheats and so on. The medium doesn't fit the pans they sell, but I have found pans that fit in it. It gets very hot here, and I use it all the time so I don't heat up the house. I bought it instead of a built in microwave. I've had it over a year now, and it still looks and acts new with daily use. Williams Sonoma carries three sizes, not all stores do. The small was a bit too small for me, and the large was more than I needed. (My microwave is at the coffee center in the laundry room, because I don't use it very often.)
