Air Fryers in different styles. From types with doors to ones with pull-out baskets
Can Openers in different types. I did not include manual non-powered but I included tiny ones that clip on to the can to industrial ones and one that mounts to walls.
Food Processors/Blenders. From hand crank, slap chop, to fancy electric ones.
Mixers From manual hand-turn beaters to electric both compact and large.
Pasta Makers from hand turn to electric
Pressure Cookers/Rice Cookers from stovetop to electric. In my house we have two pressure cookers- one for stew or beans & other for rice.
Roasting Pans similar to slow cookers but some have separate compartments and can have taller lids
Slow Cookers/CrockpotsTimers/Hourglasses wind up, non-powered, & digital
Toasters from 2 slot to 6 slot
Cooktops from gas to regular electric to smooth/induction (I only included pics of gas and smooth)
End Shelves on cabinets
Microwave Cabinets to free up counter space, allowing for prep space below the microwave. More convenient height than above-the-range
Pantry Cabinets only included pics of large ones, but they can basically be tall cabinets one tile or two tile (like a fridge)
Split-Level Island Counters from slim to wide (similar to the bar-object in game but modular like counters/cabinets)
Wall Ovens from single to double. Some singles can have microwaves above
Bonus:
Broom Cabinet. Tall cabinet that is very shallow and can sit on the end of a pantry or fridge cabinet or just frame out the fridge.
Comments
pizza oven Sims 3
pizza rotator for cabinet top
cotton candy machine- we should've gotten with fair stuff
cabinet top Foreman grill for indoors
canning machine and the ability to can and have a canning shelf and a lazy susan to put the jars in.
wall radio for listening to in the kitchen; speakers are kind of like it, but I had one in the Sims 3 and it must've been cc because I never could find it after I got rid of cc. It was in Crumplebottom's house.
I like the tea kettle idea
Although I don't care as much for the chef career, I nearly always have decked my kitchens out in the Sims 3 & 4.
I meant to add kettles to the list but was tired and posted what I had collages of so far. I'm working on a kettle collage. In my real kitchen I have two pressure cookers (one 8qt & other 6qt). We use the smaller one to make rice and larger one for soups, stews, beans, etc. We also have an electric kettle for heating up water for various things.
Deco oven mitts and cutting boards would also be nice.
I almost forgot about the Foreman Grill. We used to have one but cats knocked it off the counter and broke it. A lazy susan would be cool.
I'm on board with pizza ovens as well-- although, I could see that as being more toward a bbq outdoor area, but it could also work indoors. By pizza-rotator, do you mean like a lazy susan but large enough for a pizza?
A canning station would be nice as well.
The radio idea is interesting. I don't think that is specific to kitchens, but I could see various types of radios working. Did you have anything specific in terms of looks in mind?
I also forgot to mention spice racks. I will have to see if I can find a picture of the spice rack my late elderly friend made. I'll have to do some more picture collages.
Some other things I thought of that I will later add images for:
Mandoline (slices stuff), cheese grater, upright freezer, & chest freezer (both possibly fitting in a pantry).
I've seen CC of a lot of things-- deco food, blenders, cheese grater, mandoline, air fryer, rice cooker, crockpot, mixing bowl, cutting board, pizza board, etc. It would be nice to have some official content though.
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to create the split-level island using a table and making it taller or raising it up and using decorative corbels or something underneath & then having taller chairs.
Does the game have spoon rests already? (I haven't played in awhile due to my computer acting up on me).

It wasn't me who suggested the radio but just thought I'd toss it out there ..... I have a blue-tooth radio mounted under the cabinet in my RL kitchen, so something like that would be cool. It could still technically be "wall mounted" so it could slide up and down the wall to appear like it's under the cabinet depending on cabinet height, but made to look like it was mounted underneath a cabinet.
@Chicklet453681 That's interesting. I am not up-to-date on tech so my kitchen doesn't have any bluetooth devices. I know there are some pull-down racks (which I actually have for a different purpose) that some people use for cookbooks or tablets. I'll have to get good pictures. I also have a paper towel holder that mounts to the underside of the cabinet. That would be a cool thing for the game. I'd be on board with a tablet or device that can play music that mounts somewhere in the kitchen (both in game and real life).
I'm currently working on my kettle collage as well as on a frankensteined 6-slice toaster.
Any other suggestions?
Kettles
Mandolines / slicers
Graters / zesters (I could see the industrial one being used in a pizza place or restaurant)
Electric Grills (the power XL thing is a grill/air fryer combo- I included different looks for it). I actually saw it in the store the other day while looking to see what sort of appliances are available for kitchens
Lasy Susans
Freezers (first two are actually commercial fridges but I can see them being freezers as well-- commercial fridges would be nice)
I haven't done a collage, but this is similar to the dishwasher I have-- hooks up to the sink, has wheels, and has a faux butcherblock/wood top.
@davina1221 when you said pizza rotator, did you mean like this?
or this
or something different?
Pizza rotators, pizza ovens, pizza turners, pizza makers, etc
Freestanding portable dishwashers. I couldn't quite find the kind I have that is a full 30" wide, but you get the idea. Unfortunately, modern faucets are not designed to allow dishwasher hookups.
More hanging pot racks. (I'm trying to find some with LED lights or some sort of lamps attached but didn't see anything)
Wall-mount pot racks (some smaller ones can mount to sides of cabinets)
@crocobaura We have curved walls now? I haven't opened the game since the last patch so I didn't know that. I could see curved seats for an eat-in-kitchen. Sort of like for a breakfast nook. I would love to have more curved objects.
@Mak27 I agree with everything you added. I'd love to have a sink be able to go in a corner. I forgot that island counters don't have doors or drawers for the most part. Cabinets hanging over the island would also be nice. My kitchen has a peninsula (instead of an island) and there are cabinets hanging above. Two tile fridges would be great.
I'd also like more bread boxes. I think the only one from EA is in the Parenthood pack that I didn't get because I don't like kids & don't want children in my game.
Yes to all of these! I'm not familiar with teh Kitchenaid baking robot though. I have downloaded deco as well as functional wall oven cc. I think there is only one functional toaster cc. Under the counter options it would be nice to be able to choose drawers or doors or a combo of both. Fridge cabinets would be awesome. There are some nice CC versions available.
I would rather see more function in fewer, simpler things though, which is more the lifestyle I see happening in the here and now. French press and pour over, cold brew..those are more the norm now in daily life than automatic drip coffeemakers that heat water in plastic.
Goodwill always has George Foreman grills, cake pop makers, and other one-use Teflon coated appliances, and cast iron has seen a resurgence in interest instead.

I know the game already has one bread box. It is the ONLY item I'm interested in from the Parenthood pack. No offense intended toward the developers, but I don't like babies or kids so my games are child free. Even if the breadbox is just decorative, it would be nice to have more in game.
More collages and items:
Trash Compactors/Pull-Out Trash Bins
Dish Racks (over the sink)
Dish Racks (on counter)/Dish Mats
Bread Boxes
Baker's Racks
Rolltop Appliance Compartments
Another thing I'm thinking of is potato bins. I will have to try to get a good picture of the one I have (custom built by a late elderly friend).
Editing to add real photos
my friend's over-the-sink rack
My walk-in pantry with custom door that has shelves on it.
I think we need some very worn, scuffed looking wood cabinets with decent wood tones and also some new ultra modern ones...something like the style of Island Living cabinets but in shiny chrome, marble, etc textures.
For clutter Id like to see more items like tea towels, washing up caddies, maybe a chopping board and knife, mugs and glasses.
The only other thing Id like is a kitchen bin fitted into a cabinet.
I'm not sure what you mean by a kitchen bin? Rubbish bin that fits inside a cabinet? Like the pull-out ones? Or ones where you open the cabinet door and access the rubbish bin?
Would be nice to have a pot and hanging frame to suspend it over any fireplace, but heat from the sun only really works in the hottest summer days and hotdogs you don't really need to cook, more like warm up. I wouldn't dare eat meat cooked that way.
