Toasters and kettles.
How on earth are they still not included in the game?
Toasters mean we could make toast. A basic food staple. Then you could have toast with jam, or beans on toast, or feed your toddler boiled eggs with toast soldiers! And toasted crumpets with honey! And toasted muffins! And raisin toast (with lashings of butter)!
As for kettles, I'm talking about the standard electric kettle. Yes, I know, people in the US rarely use them, but folk from many other countries do. You can have a kitchen without a microwave, but one without a kettle is very strange.
Here in Australia, electric kettles are a speedy way to boil 1-2lt of water.
'Coffee makers' are expensive, kettles are not, so most homes have a kettle for the purpose of making coffee, or tea, or milo, or cuppa soup, or instant noodles.
As a bonus, a toaster and kettle (often a set) take up less space than a microwave! And they're a stereotypical wedding present (gotta toast the bride!)
There are the cheap budget versions (usually white plastic)
