What is Your Favourite Kitchen Appliance?

[evenwolf]

Personally i really like toasters.  Especially the classic streamlined ones made of all metal.  You can breathe on it and then rub your hand over it and see your reflection. I really respect that.




How about you guys?  Any kitchen appliances specific to your region?

Gilbert? Wok? eh?

Scid? Waffle Iron? eh?



*Note, if someone takes this thread as inspiration to make "Who is your favorite communist dictator", or "What is your favourite "what is your favourite' Thread" - I will have this whole thing terminated immediately. This is serious and a valuable thread to learn from.  Cuisines in different AGS lands!

Is the cheese grater an appliance?

[evenwolf]

But why, remix?  Because you get a serene feeling when seeing a small pile of cheese strips form on a plate?  is this something that stems from your childhood?

[remixor]

Please, I don't like to talk about it.

Man, I've beed wanting to ask this same question for a while now...just didn't have the guts to do it. Nothing bonds people together faster than discussing kitchen appliances...talking about your job is close, but not the same....

Mine would have to be :


The George Foreman grill, no other kitchen appliance better makes teh statement of who I really am....

* Squinky goes to start "When was the last time" threads

[evenwolf]

If you post "When was the last time you used your George Forman?" my answer would be last night!  I cooked 5 burgers in 45 minutes!  They're brilliant, AND they cut the fat!

George Forman's grill has changed me as a person- in fact, I would say that no other kitchen appliance better makes the statement of who I really am....

oooh, does anyone have a fondue pot?   There's alot to talk about there, like dipping meat and cheese into cheese or chocolate.  These appliances are surely the work of some devine being.

[remixor]

AWESOME.  It saddens me that I do not have one.

The Fridge!

[evenwolf]

Which kind of fridge?  Double doors with freezer on side- fridge on the other? Or the more conventional freezer on top?

[Haddas]

The ones you keep your food in. My current favourite is double-doored

[Pumaman]

The double-doored fridge is luxury, but the more conventional style allows itself to be fitted more easily into the available kitchen space - a definite advantage.

[Drugster]

Do drugs count as kitchen appliances?

If not, I definitely rate the WOAH, KINGZJESTER JUST WALKED INTO THE LIBRARY.

[evenwolf]

The disadvantage is that the freezer is most convenient- at eye level - however most interaction will be lower than that in the fridge, where you have to bend down.

Do you consider ice dispensers a must?

Personally I think there's a virtue in classical minimalism. Leaving the front an unblemished canvas, or increasing the amount of message space is something that must be considered when ice dispensers are discussed.

[evenwolf]

Now ice depensor means the little alcove on the door where you put the glass, and ice falls down.   Those are WAY luxurious!  I myself use trays alone and a bucket to empty into.  I dream of a dispensor one day, but those also require additional plumbing.

*note, my sister has one and i believe it stopped working and could not easily be repaired- now the dispensor is merely a temptor of lost souls, and serves as a sad reminder of how much a chore cracking the ice out of the tray is.

[Drugster]

Wait. Never mind. False Alarm.

The Internet Fridge!!!

Why someone would need a fridge that is connected to the internet is beyond me, but it exists along with a few other wired appliances.

[evenwolf]

DVD capabilities? Weak!!


What if a fridge connected to the internet  took virtual inventory of your food, then calculated and produced recipes possible with the food you have!   Ingenius!  No need for women anymore!
