Bold the ones you have and use at least once a year, italicize the ones you have and don't use, strike through the ones you have had but got rid of. And (oursin's suggestion) add any items that you have that aren't on the list:

I wonder how many pasta machines, blenders, deep fat fryer, electric frying pan, egg boilers, egg slicer, melon ballers, sandwich makers, pastry brushes, cheese knives, electric woks, miniature salad spinners, griddle pans, jam funnels, meat thermometers, filleting knives, egg poachers, cake stands, garlic crushers, martini glasses, tea strainers, bamboo steamers, pizza stones, coffee grinders, milk frothers, piping bags, banana stands, fluted pastry wheels, tagine dishes, conical strainers, rice cookers, steam cookers, pressure cookers, slow cookers, spaetzle makers, cookie presses, gravy strainers, double boilers (bains marie), sukiyaki stoves, ice cream makers, fondue sets, healthy-grills, home smokers, tempura sets, tortilla presses, electric whisks languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards.

This must be British, because we weren't sure whether an electric whisk was the same as one of those immersion blenders, which I have and use. Also, I would use my ice cream maker, but I think it's broken. I'm pretty good about using cooking utensils. Also whether an electric frying pan from the 1960s is the same as an electric wok.

My mom had a purpose-made double boiler. She also had an egg boiling machine.
