What I thought when I read the title was: A dish washer that also puts the dishes away. I wouldn’t even mind hand washing them all if I had a putter away-er. I too have visited that armoire style fridge at Sears and been underwhelmed. The thing I noticed was that that big drawer would be kind of a hassle because I"m sure whatever I wanted to get out would surely always be at the bottom. Of actually available appliances I would say an indoor grill with a working exhaust system. My true kitchen fantasy is to have a second outdoor kitchen with a huge grill, sink, big counter, etc. It doesn’t make sense where I live now but if I plan my retirement correctly. . . ---

A 48" wide, Viking Professional Series, self-cleaning, gas range with dual ovens, a four burner cook top with the griddle/simmerplate and grill. It is my fondest appliance desire but even if I hocked my kidney on ebay, it will never be mine _sniff_ ---

I will always lust after a red **AGA** cooker…ahhhh. A **Viking** or **Wolf** brand stove wouldn’t hurt my feelings either. I have also wanted one of those Sub Zero professional refrigerators as well - they are great for making fried ice cream! ---

I want a well-designed kitchen that’s big enough for two people to work in, with a built-in bread rising area over the stove, where it’ll be nice and warm. Maybe with a heating element built in. I also want a big, flat topped stove, double sinks, a KitchenAid self-cleaning mixer, and a sink garbage disposal thing. Lots of counter space, too. Oh, you said what _one_ thing- okay, probably a walk-in freezer with built-in ice cream maker. I’d love to be able to make pies and things in bulk and freeze them. I’m not paying for electricity, right? ---

**OxyMoron** - I’ve lusted after a Magic Mill for years! Funny thing is, I love kitchen stuff. Good knives, good pans, good mixers, but I hardly ever cook. It must be genetic. 4 of my mother’s brothers trained as chefs, and all of her sisters are great cooks as well. StG ---

My perfect appliance will hear me call out my food order from anywhere in my apartment, prepare it, deliver it to wherever I specify, pick up the used dishes, clean them, order replacement supplies delivered from the supermarket, and bring me to orgasm. 😃 ---

Believe it or not, I would want a Cat Repellent Device of some kind. Like a force field or something. Because every time I go into the kitchen, no matter what for, I end up with three walking “starving” hairballs begging me with those sad little eyes to please feed them. ---

I also want the heavy duty espresso maker. Someday I’ll plunk down the cash for the Francis Francis! E.maker (in orange). Other things I’d like: Gas range Wusthoff knives A big, antique butcher-block island A refrigerator with big, see-through produce drawers, and a tap for a pony keg A big, deep enameled sink with the center garbage disposal, and the tap that doubles as a spray attatchment ---

As a technical editor for a cabinet manufacturer and former kitchen designer, I see kitchens on a daily basis that make me think" You bastards!" I’m talking 6-700 square feet, not one but TWO 48" Subzero’s, or three or four SZ 700 series ( the built in ones that go far ~2-5K apiece), or three $1500 dishwashers, or 15K in crown moulding I kd you not FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS worth of crown mouldings that are ten bloody feet in the air. Lets not even start on the 7K island countertops, the $1000 dollar sinks, the $750 faucets, the tile that retails at $25/sq. ft. I recently edited a job (all this is in a single family residence mind you) that consisted of $370,000 worth of cabinetry and did NOT include the kitchen! It didn’t even include the custom casework, just the run of the mill “custom” cabinetry for the 8 baths, three powder rooms, four walk in closets, two butlers pantries…feh, I’m tired of trying to remember all the rest…suffice it to say I hate these people:) ---

**MikeG** , my dad does those kinds of remodelling jobs, the $250,000 master bedroom suite? My kitchen, in addition to the dream appliance(s), should be big enough to accomadate, a comfy loveseat near the fireplace. The kitchen should open into the den. I want a **six eye industrial grade range/oven and a second oven** in the work island in the middle of the kitchen, the island should have room for at least four stools. I want **two dishwashers** , one of them a small one that slide out like a drawer. A **Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer** , a double sink under a large window and a smaller sink in the work island. I want a pantry for staples and open cabinets for dishes and food stuffs. I want a hanging pot rack. The kitchen should also have french doors opening onto the patio/porch where a small green house shelters fresh herbs and tomatoes year round. I want a kitchen to entertain in. Everytime we go to friends we wind up in the kitchen. By the way, I don’t really cook, Hubby does, I’m the prep cook and assistant. ---

I did NOT mean a wife. With an appliance like this, why would I need a wife? 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-fantasy-kitchen-appliance/162271.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-fantasy-kitchen-appliance/162271.md?page=3)
