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…

    This is gonna sound silly, but dishwasher. I got a small one only this year after many, many years of being the dishwasher (and not cooking as much as a result). But since getting a dishwasher, I’ve been cooking loads. It’s genuinely amazing the difference it makes, knowing that you don’t have to leave a big pile of stuff to clean up later every time you cook. I can even put my whole air fryer basket in there!

    Plus it uses a controlled amount of water for the whole load so you aren’t running the tap constantly and wasting water.

      Never used to have a dishwasher and getting one was a huge difference. It saves a huge amount of time in washing glasses and cutlery most of all.
