How is your cookery? Bold the ones you have and use at least once a year, italicize the ones you have and don't use, underline the ones you have had but got rid of, and strike through the ones you never had [which is everything not bolded or italicised so i can't be bothered]:
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 crushers**, martini 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, ice cream makers, and fondue sets languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards.
* I don't use it but my daughter does and I nick a toasty sarnie when she's not looking. Mmm lovely.
** The paint has come off it so I tend to use the blade of a knife now.
*** It was a present and won't fit in the oven.
**** What the hecks a spaetzle?
