[Sca-cooks] OT: Kitchen appliances and gadgets

[johnna holloway]

You might want to go through some of the kitcen equipment books and make 
some lists. Check them at your local library. Alton Brown's Gear for 
Your Kitchen by Alton Brown is just out and should be at Borders or B&N 
stores. Also check out Consumer Reports and issues of Cooks Illustrated 
for their guides and recommendations.

I would think about asking for equipment that you will use on a daily 
basis. Think about counter space and storage room in your kitchen. 
Appliances that sit out get used more than those that have to be drug 
out from a closet.

I love my Kitchen Aid mixer, but that's an investment of several hundred 
dollars which may be beyond what the typical bridal guest will spring for.

You could also always ask for cookbooks if you get stuck on equipment.
