I do my blade related stuff with a cutting board and a knife [size of 
knife depends on what I am cutting], I make my bread by hand in a bowl 
and a loaf tin and oven, I have a food processor I have not taken out of 
the cupboard in 10 years. I have a blender that i use to make slushy 
drinks. I had a stick blender, but haven't touched that in about 15 
years. Last time I made my potage puree des haricots I ran it through a 
food mill, and last time I needed to powder galengale I used a mortar 
and pestle. I make soup in a pot on the stove or wood stove, and i 
microwave cold leftovers to heat them up.

Ask Phlip, she lives with us.

I will admit to a vacuum sealer and sous vide, and a foreman grill 
[though last I checked we haven't used the foreman grill in about a 
year....]
