Optional Appliances
Vacuum Sealer

This is pure luxury. Frozen fruit yogurt made from in-season fruit is a real treat.
Also in the “fun to have but not necessary” category is a popcorn popper. However, I don’t use it for popcorn; I use it to pop sorghum seeds! I traded lectin-loaded popcorn for popped sorghum. I’m totally hooked on it, and it’s a healthy food. I would choose a stainless steel model over an aluminum one.
