Meme! (I'm a joiner)
Bold the ones you have and use at least once a year, italicize the ones you have and don't use, strike through the ones you have had but got rid of.
I wonder how many pasta machines, breadmakers, juicers, blenders, deep fat fryers, egg boilers, melon ballers, sandwich makers, pastry brushes, cheese boards, cheese knives, electric woks, miniature salad spinners, griddle pans, meat thermometers, jam funnels, 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, fondue sets, healthy-grills, home smokers, tempura sets, tortilla presses, electric whisks, cherry stoners, sugar thermometers, food processors, bacon presses, bacon slicers, mouli mills, cake testers, pestle-and-mortars, and sets of kebab skewers languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards.
I also have a knife sharpener, a cusinart stick, vaccuum sealer, tortilla pan (for heating flour tortillas the right way) and food mill that I use regularly. Not sure if by electric whisks they mean hand mixers, which I do have and use. In fact, if I don't use it, I tend not to own it. The exception is the ice cream maker, which belongs to my son.
Many of the things up there can be accomplished with tools I do have. And if I want to do something cool and funky with food, I see if ariadne1 has the tools for it, and if she does, we make an event of it. Cheese-making was so much fun!
