Had a lovely night and need a little snack before bed. The popcorn maker makes me perfect popcorn everytime no jhudgemnt no questions asked. I live in an otherwise-gizmo-free household, but I do genuinely use this things twice a week on average. What gizmo are you not ashamed of?
I also got an immersion blender for $20 a week ago and used it once to make squash soup. Perhaps that isa second gizmo… It’s gotten more use than my microave in the same timespan…
Rice cooker
I got this microwave plastic dish designed for cooking rice that is like 90% as good as a proper rice cooker.
The secret to it seems to simply be a perforated top (like 40% of the surface area would be holes of about 0.5cm diameter) so I imagine it would be easy to make one by punching small holes in some Tupperware, but also the real thing only cost about $15.
A very economical almost-as-good option, and more space efficient.
