+1 on a number of things on this list. We have so many different lengths of tongs for different things in the kitchen. I'd add a Vitamix to this list. We still have our KitchenAid mixer that we got as a wedding gift 20 years ago.

But the main workhorse in our kitchen since we are only 2 people is the Breville Toaster Oven. It is so versatile and we use ours almost daily without having to heat up the house.

Another local option for the fizzy water is delivery from the Seltzer Sisters! I couldn’t get Sodastream to taste as good as bottled, but the Seltzer Sisters’ water is great!

Oh interesting. I am a Sodastream person but will check this out!

I have very similar "must haves" in my kitchen as well @deb! I've been intrigued by an air fryer but not pulled the trigger because we have a toaster oven we use almost every day. Why do you need both? I'm very curious what you cook in each and why so I can make a decision about whether an air fryer deserves counter space in our house! :)

We use the airfryer for things we want crispy and the toaster oven for things we want toasty. I know if sounds crazy but that is literally how we think about it.

Airfryer: fish, egg rolls, fries, bulgogi, frozen veggies, reheating fried rice

Toaster oven: roasted veggies, bread, cookies, pizza

I love this. I like to cook but don't know what to buy!
