I use my crock pot as often in the summer to "not heat up the kitchen" to cook a big meal as I do in the winter. I use my stand mixer, wore out my electric griddle pan (and never found another,) use the ice cream maker for special times, broke two banana stands and eventually will get another -- but the list is filled with weird stuff I have never seen/had/wanted.
The weird kitchen thing NOT on the list that we do use quite often is our whipped cream maker.
I do use my pastry cutter for all sorts of things besides pastry -- how else would I chop eggs?
Of course, I just boil my eggs in a regular old pan -- the same one I would use to cook anything else, including pasta!

I use A LOT of garlic. I love my garlic press!

Coffee pot and toaster were also off the list.

A sifter is necessary for most baking. =)

Yes, a large cast iron skillet can be used for many things! (e.g. cake pan for one) Problem I have with cast iron is you are not supposed to put it in the dish washer.

I hear you on the rice cooker. Rice cookers come from asia, where they eat rice 24X7 and have very small living areas. To those folks a rice cooker is critical and brainless to operate. However in the USA, a rice cooker sort of fits into the "crock pot" catagory of appliances. I use a sauce pan and I fry my dry rice before adding boiling water to it. I almost exclusively eat Texmati(basmati) rice.
