Sadly the kitchen appliance that scares me the most is the microwave! it's an item that was invented to make meal making easier but tends to dry my food out something fierce!! I don't always have time to bake something healthy in the oven and it would be great if I knew how to cook healthy foods in the microwave!!

Sharp knives! I have cut myself TOO MANY TIMES!

Great giveaway, I've so been wanting to check out that book!

Ummm...the broiler part of the oven. I burn myself way too much on that!

I am not scared of my mandolin, funny, I didn't even know that is what it was called until 3 months ago when I pulled it out to cut potatoes for my daughters birthday dinner.

ANYWAYS, I am afraid of my giant foodprocessor because it makes such a mess. MESSY.

I do not care about the book half as much as I'd like to win the mandoline. Please send one asap.
Thanks.

2010-01-06T15:17:20.449-06:00

Ok, I don't know if this counts as an appliance, but I am scared to death of our garbage disposal! I don't even want to be in the room when those blades are whizzing and chopping. I make my husband wait until I leave the kitchen before he turns it on. Seriously. (Sorry about that, hon.)

And while I'm humiliating myself here, I'll go ahead and confess that I've even had nightmares about *forgetting* to take my hand out of the disposal before turning it on. Eeeeeek!

I would have to say, Garlic Press...sorry I just don't get it or like it. LOL!

I have a thing about sharp knives, they scare me. I use them everyday, so you would think that I would get used to them, but not really.

Hi! Im new to your blog as well but LOVING it! The scariest kitchen appliance for me is...a chef's knife. Seriously, I use a steak knife to cut vegetables and meats and everything because I am horrified of cutting my finger off with a chef's knife!!

The trick with a mandolin is to use the hand guard (if yours didnt come with one, you can probably buy one cheap from a kitchen store..I cant think of an appropriate thing to substitute for it, except a Kevlar glove)

For me it is the Microwave. I use it all the time ...

2010-01-06T10:28:12.224-06:00

For me it is the Microwave. I use it all the time but it scares me if I see a spark or I hear a pop. My microwave is about 10 years old and the plate has stopped spinning on it. I got it free when my parents microwave couldn't be fixed, they bought a new one, and I got a brand new replacement from Sears. Win-win for me. Now, I am frighten that it will go out one day. Maybe that would be a good thing. Hmmm?

Love the series when it was on Lifetime and always wanted to buy the books. Lifetime needs to continue their shows. It is weird to have good shows and not carry them on or create new things for the channel. JMHO.

The mandoline.

Mine would be my stovetop....I have frequently gotten burned or caught stuff on fire via the stovetop. Not good lol.

Electric carving knives terrify me! I'm comfortable with most other appliances.

I'm scared of the vegetable peeler b/c it once took a hunk out of my finger when I was peeling a butternut squash--I have a small scar!!

2010-01-05T19:24:44.207-06:00

I am most frightened by the food processor...it would probably help me to "Cook Myself Thin Faster" if I get over the fear!

2010-01-05T19:23:48.334-06:00

Shoot! I just left a comment about my fear of chicken and turkey in the kitchen...lol..and they aren't appliances....

Well, at least I get a kick out of how dumb I can really be sometimes.

The only appliance I can really think of that I might fear is the potato peeler. Shoot that's not an appliance either...lol....Hey this is fun though...lol makin' me laugh.

But honestly, those dang potato peelers take my nail with the peels. I don't like them AT ALL.

2010-01-05T19:18:22.621-06:00

Whats this mandolin everyone is talking about and why they use it in the kitchen??? Isn't it a musical instrument?

Sorry if that sounds dumb..but I've never heard of that kitchen appliance...lol.

What I really am afraid of in the kitchen is a whole raw turkey or chicken.. ya know after ya take it out of the packaging to rinse it and take out whatever guts are on the inside.....ewwww weeee yuck-o!

My daughter or hubby take care of it for me. lol

I think I need this book!

2010-01-05T09:29:27.931-06:00

Hmmm. . . last week I learned the hard way not to blend scalding hot soup in my blender. So I'm going with the blender.

I recently found your blog, by the way, and am inspired by your journey. You're amazing!

I would have to say the toaster b/c I can never get it right. It's sometime under toasted or over toasted. tdmercy7@gmail.com

Ummmm, the kitchen torch for sure, haha. I just know one day my husband is going to catch himself on fire while "playing" with it, and I'll be a very unhappy wife taking him to the emergency room.

2010-01-05T07:51:48.786-06:00

Ha - I had to laugh at MizFit about sharp knives! :D

It used to be my food processor, but now I know how to put it together - no big deal.

Happy Tuesday Shelley!
