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 (mme_hardy's suggestion) add any items that you have that aren't on the list:
I wonder how many pasta machines, breadmakers, juicers,blenders, deep fat fryers, egg boilers, 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, food processors, and fondue sets languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards.
(Added food processor, though if one of the other items is the British term for such, I'm sure someone will let me know. We have one; it's nice to chop up a vegetable in 15 seconds, but then it takes 15 minutes to assemble, disassemble, and clean, so for the quantity we're usually working with, it's more time-effective to simply use a knife.)
