Take it or leave it?
I cook. A lot. I have gadgets and geegaws, appliances and appurtenances. My question is what to take with us when we start Long-Timing next spring. Do most of you cooks out there take most of your kit...

I enjoy cooking, but our 32' Class C motorhome is limited in Cargo Carrying Capacity, so I limit my knives to 1 good quality Henkels chef's knife and various other knives that are usable, all with light plastic handles. For Cookware, we have a decent dutch oven and good quality Calphalon frying pan, and a few cheap pots. We also bring a 6 qt Crook Pot with us (wife cooks in crook pot, I use it to keep things warm).
That's enough to get us through a 4 month summer season. Most of our cooking is outside. We have a portable propane grill, a 2 burner Coleman camp stove and an offset smoker. We do big cook outs a couple times a month and the two big summer holidays.
If you have the room and the OCCC for them, bring them. These gadgets make cooking easier, but I make do without them and still produce quality meals.

Trying to determine if I need things like a stand mixer, food processor and panini maker, all of which I use weekly at home.
