Yes I use my mixer often, including pizza dough but that can be done in your bread machine on dough setting.

Stand mixers are awesome, I love mine. I would just say that not to get one unless you have the space on your counter for it, because it's too much of a drag to hoist it in and out of a cupboard or drawer every time you want to use it.

Mine lives on a bottom shelf and it is a PITA to move but I do.

I almost never use a mixer. Pizza dough is a good example of when it's useful.

I just got a La Creuset kettle and French press with my visa points.  They are SO pretty.

That pale seafoam greenish.  SO 60's, but so pretty.

damn, that's hot. 

I'm considering that ninja air fryer combo.  So many of the reviews are from people who loved their instapots and used them for the same things I do, and they say this does all of it as well, plus the airfryer.  I could rehome my instapot and slow cooker, but apparently it's a freakin beast and I'm not going to save much space...  but otoh, I buy an air fyer and now I have three appliances. 

People put a lot less effort into picking apart evidence that confirms what they already believe.

That's stunning Rio.  And it's nice to see you back.  :heartbeat:
With the French Press is there somewhere you can see how much water you've put in?  I usually eyeball mine vs. measuring water.

I have no idea how to use a french press :D  my sole purpose in getting it was for when the power goes out in the winter, so I always have a way to make coffee (can boil water in my matching visa points la creuset kettle on the woodstove).

And picote, Dh did the backsplash.  It is nice.  But it is the lipstick on the pig that is our ancient kitchen with painted cupboards from the 70's.  :D

Got it. Seems like it’ll be a while until we get a review. I love my French press.

Someone mentioned upthread the heft of a stand mixer. I traded in my Kitchenaid for a Cuisineart a few years ago and find it to be less bulky and easier to carry. I keep mine on a high shelf put away and it’s not an issue. My little galley kitchen wouldn’t have room for it otherwise.
