Kitchen appliance recommendations

[puffcard]

It depends on a few things, counter space, power available and your food interest. Some need a expresso machine, some a blender for frozen drink and smoothies. Others can't live without a bread maker or microwave. My favorite was an European lady, who made the best crusty bread, had a large KitchenAid mixer sitting on her counter. What's your interest, should be the driver. We're on a smaller sailboat, we just have a small magic blender and pressure cooker, would recommend both.

I tend to buy small no name brand appliances, they last long enough

We plan on having about 2800kw of solar on our catamaran, and also plan on ditching propane. Our galley will have an induction stovetop, and we're contemplating a microwave/ convection/ etc combo unit in lieu of an oven. Additional electronic kitchen gadgets will be a coffee maker, an instant pot, and immersion blender. Outside we will have an electric grill as well.

Anyone else have a DASH waffle maker? I love this thing - it's so small and functional. Perfect for waffles for 2.

Anyone found a countertop oven that is well insulated? Having all that heat escape out of the battery bank and into the boat is not my idea of a good time.

The only one we have found is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...KIKX0DER&psc=1

The big drawback is the single rack inside.

When making cookies, it would seem to take forever to make a few dozen and more wasteful as well.

We like our current one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Except the outside gets very warm and the heating element inside has to be on a lot to compensate for the lack of insulation.
