When we moved last year, we moved to a house with very little counter space in the kitchen and even fewer outlets, so we've been trying to minimize and do without stuff and we've managed alright, so it's time to give some things away, since they're now just taking up space in the closet.

Microwave Oven You know those microwaves with the popcorn features and carousel and stuff like that? This isn't one of those. The bell doesn't even work and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a light inside it. It has a single dial on it that is an approximation of something kind of like time. This is a no-nonsense microwave. It heats things. If you love food straight from the can, this is the machine for you!

10 cup rice cooker with double steamer Do you have a LOT of friends, and I mean A LOT Starting with up to 10 cups of dry rice, this puppy can make up to about 10lbs of chow in a single go and steam veggies, clams, or whatever else you want above it. Sits slightly tilted because one of it's feet got melted on the stove top once, but works great. We just bought a 3 cup cooker which fits our kitchen a lot better, and because even when we have friends over, we were seldom making more than 2 cups of rice.

Black and Decker Toaster Oven Shop tools, kitchen appliances, why not? It's all the same. Nice wide and fairly tall toaster oven. Good for making garlic bread and stuff like that. Also for broiling stuff if you life alone and don't want to run a full-sized oven. It's a bit ugly but works fine. Also makes toast.

What material is the rice cooker made of?

It's all metal, with a glass lid. The only plastic are the outer handles and feet. The boiling pan removes for cleaning, so it's pretty simple and usable.

That's tempting - I'd probably use it for steaming vegetables and/or pasta, even if it shouldn't accomodate pasta. However, I'm also more than a couple states away, so shipping might be an issue.

The microwave does have a lamp in it, and has the advantage of not being very loud, nor does it use alot of space, electricity, etc. Very small and light.
