My only appliance that I should not have bought is an ice cream maker.  Complete waste of $$.

I used Ice Cream's yogurt recipe and it came out perfect.  It was pretty think so straining wasn't necessary but I did it anyways.

Yum!

We use it a few times a year, so almost useless.

I had an ice cream maker years ago and barely used it.  It didn't make the move.  We have a paleta-maker and a yonana (froyo from frozen bananas and other fruit) and use those a bit, though not this summer.

I caved and bought the IP.  I have a rice maker and crockpot we were gifted (not from a registry -- both generous and thoughtful but not anything I'd want) and never use.  But this I might like.  I'm also limited for counter space. oh well

I make banana ice cream in the vita mix. What is a paleta maker?

I have a steamer, a crockpot, and a rice cooker.  Three things that are duplicated in the IP.  But I love my zojirushi rice maker and use that at least every other day.

I got mine on deal of the day too. A tiny bit bummed that I didn't notice it isn't the variety with a yogurt option. But, oh well. I'm most excited for things like beans, sweet potatoes, this cabbage hash thing that takers forever to cook, apple sauce, baked beans, lentil soup-- that kind of thing. Now to find somewhere for it to live!

sweet potatoes has been the highlight so far for me Check out Jill Nussinow's cookbook, I got it from the library and just purchased it on amazon.

I think this may be my first experiment: http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/01/the-food-lab-pressure-cooker-caramelized-onions-onion-soup.html

I could have written your post, RA!  Galley kitchen and DH took up a bunch of space with a juicer he's stopped using (knew that would happen) so I think I'll find a recipient for my rice cooker that lives in the pantry, then store it in there.  I'll be watching your posts, I think we like to eat similar things.

I think my slow cookers and rice cooker and old stove top pressure cooker should make their ways to the basement until I decide what to do. I feel like I should keep the slow cookers because one is HUGE and sometimes I may need them. The rice cooker, geez, DH got me a fancy Zujirushi a few years ago for Xmas and I have been off grains for almost 2 years now, so it never gets used.

Also, it was so hot yesterday that it was good to cook dinner in the IP instead of turning on the oven and heating up the house!

[Run Amok]

Yesterday was my first cooking attempt with eggs. I normally do them on the stove. I can see myself using the ip for this. It isnt faster but it's a little more convenient. 8 minites, quick release, and cool in the fridge was over cooked. I'll try 6 minutes next time.

Currently,  I'm making a lentil soup. Again, not sure it will be faster than my normal process since lentil only takes about 30 minutes anyway? If I had a larger kitchen definitely wouldn't be a time saver since i would make 4 soups at a time if i had room to freeze them. I used the saute feature and hot water it still took 10+ minutes to reach pressure.

Don't get me wrong...I'm happy with my purchase and I see myself using it probably quite a bit!

Soup finished. I think i like my food cooked lightly as compared to a lot of people . 10 minutes on the lentil soup produced a very well done soup. But it worked just fine.

Trying this cheater sushi rice for quick lunch rolls as a dry run for dinner later in the week.

[Run Amok]

Hmm. Cheater sushi rice wasnt a success.  Gluey soupy mess. Ill try a different method next time.
