What are the workhorses of your kitchen or homestead?

For us it’s the dehydrator, pressure cooker and crock pots. Basically at least 2 of them are running every day.

This week it’s been a lot of pecan cracking from last years harvest now that planting season has died down. We like to soak/sprout them then dehydrate. Also bone broth is almost always running in a crock pot.

Also am curious about freeze dryers if anyone has one. Are they worth it?

Love our freeze dryer. We’ve had it for over a year now and use it all the time. Besides that I use my kitchen aid, crock pot, and Dutch oven a lot.

My little solar system (fold out panel, AGM battery and inverter) probably runs the most. It's always on during the day, charging any little thing, phones, AA/AAA batteries, power tool batteries etc. Comes inside if there is a blackout to run things we need.

Freeze dryer is worth it. You have to consider the cost of packaging as well.
