Via several others: Bold the ones you have and use at least once a year, italicize the ones you have and don't use, strike through the ones you have had but got rid of.

I wonder how many pasta machines, breadmakers, juicers, blenders, deep fat fryers, egg boilers, melon ballers, sandwich makers, pastry brushes, cheese knives, electric woks, miniature salad spinners, griddle pans, jam funnels, meat thermometers, filleting knives, egg poachers, cake stands, garlic presses, margarita glasses, tea strainers, bamboo steamers, pizza stones, coffee grinders, milk frothers, piping bags, banana stands, fluted pastry wheels, tagine dishes, conical strainers, rice cookers, steam cookers, pressure cookers, slow cookers, spaetzle makers, cookie presses, gravy strainers, double boilers (bains marie), sukiyaki stoves, food processors, ice cream makers, takoyaki makers, fondue sets, and mandolines languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards.

Huh. I guess we're doing pretty good at not buying stuff we never use again. :) Although give us another year on the stuff we got for the wedding ands ee if it's still being used. (And Toby loves bread enough that I think if we got a bread machine, it'd get used quite a lot. We just have to figure out what to take off the kitchen counter in order to put it there.)

I added the mandoline at the end, as I haven't seen it on anyone's list yet.
