Q: What appliance(s) do you have back in your country that you wish you had now?
I miss my clothes dryer and I could really use a gas oven-
For me it would be an electrical grill plate like the one below : (they are good to make pancakes)
and of course, a real gas BBQ on an SS cabinet on wheels. And a clothes dryer would also be welcome. I am lucky to have a nice electric oven do.
With you on the oven, although it's really inexpensive to buy a small one if the desire for baked potatoes becomes too much.
On the other hand, I can't find a toaster anywhere...
HappyExPat:
Check on Gomz' if you have one nearby, they have toasters in all sizes and colors.
den:
I bought my toaster in HK- i thought about getting an electric toaster oven but didn't think it would be worthwhile..
Oven, clothes dryer, food processor, toaster. In that order.
Thumbs up on the oven! I love to cook chicken and roast in the oven. We just bought a small clothes dryer and have been putting it to good use.
I have to agree with a lot of these:
Full sized oven, clothes dryer, a nice Kitchen-aid mixer (with meat grinder and pasta attachments), food processor, bread maker (really miss that - oh sour dough bread... but I could also do that with an oven), tortilla press, coffee bean grinder, hand blender, BBQ grill,rotissarie, waffle iron, food dehydrator (I miss home-made jerky...), smoker,...
And of course: THE CLAPPER.
GuilinRaf:
Is it me, or does "The Clapper" sound like a lady of ill repute?
A crock pot (slow cooker).
And maybe a good sex swing (if that counts as an appliance).
DaBen:
I'm sure I could find a cheap one.... but I want a good one that doesn't break in the middle of using it.
crimochina:
you guys are talkin about the crockpot or the other thing????
MrTibbles:
There was a great commercial here in China a few years back where this guy would tout "Imagine,the combination of pillow and tea - together at last!". For some reason, the combination of a crock pot with a sex swing made me think of this. Anyway, in Shanghai there is a CRAZY sex toy export market called the Kaixuan Gate Health Product Market. You will find what you seek there if anywhere else in China.
DaBen:
I have one of those tea pillows (or maybe not, mine smells more like hay). I just left SH like 10 hours ago...but I'm gonna have to check out this market next time I'm there. Any idea what the closest subway station is to it?
MrTibbles:
Line 3/4 Baoshan lu is the closest I think. Kaixuan Gate Health Product Market, No 428 Tianmu Zhonglu, near Wuzhen Lu 天目中路428号, 近乌镇路, 9 a.m.–6 p.m. The first floor is "medicine" like 3 penis pills an seahorses. The 4th floor is the freak show.
Oven, clothes dryer, toaster oven, and an actual tub, not just a hose in the bathroom. If I were to live here long term, I'd buy those things.
A blender for making my milkshakes, washer and dryer, toaster, toaster oven. Well I have a washer but no dryer so I miss that. I had a george foreman grill that was used to reduce the grease I missed that because at least I knew I was getting a healthier meal.
