Kitchen Robot or Kitchen Appliance?

[Dargelos]

Ridiculous. What's next? A machine that sucks cock for you?

You mean you've never heard of the Venus2000. It's been sucking men off since 1993, in its robotic, monotonous way.
The most interesting application for this is when you tie down your sub and make him cum quickly, then leave it sucking away on and on and on until he eventualy has to cum again, that is intense.

I could do that without the gadget.

Yes, of course you could, but thanks to labour saving engineering, you can finish off the ironing and get started on the dinner instead.

30 years ago, when I baked bread regularly, I was pretty cynical about these--although part of this was A) hearing the bread wasn't that good and B) noting the high price of those machines. For the same money, one could buy a gadget that could help with bread dough--and do other stuff.

About 20 years ago, I did play with a bread machine bought used for next to nothing. Yesterdays $$$$ kitchen item becomes today's find that lingers in thrift shops. It was entertaining, but the bread wasn't that good. I did a repeat experiment with another bread machine (which I think might have lingered so long it was color tag clearance, but I can't remember for sure). Same results.

Oddly, even after this, I'm toying with trying a bread machine again. I came close to buying one (color tag clearance) a couple of weeks ago. This time, though, it wouldn't be for toy value, but a practical "in the meantime" way of making my own bread (so I can get something healthy and reasonably cheap), even though I have a terrible kitchen setup.

I have always wanted to try fresh home made bread. Maybe I should checkout a thrift store some time.

Id rather do the cooking myself instead of a machine

I would say that last night, we had a homemade pizza. Like all other incredibly simplice Italian dishes, it required using about 50% of all of our bowls, pans and stuff to achieve the incredible result.

Wouldn't have it any other way.

Wow, I have many fond memories tearing up my kitchen making meals for friends. We would share wonderful moments over food, then have as much fun washing up afterwards!

Bread machines are nifty. Put the ingredients in and turn it on. Come back in a couple of hours and you have a decent loaf of fresh baked bread. It doesn't heat the house like using the oven.

fun washing up

To be honest, "fun" and "washing up" are not words I'd expected to see in the same sentence, unless the sentence is saying something like: "it's not fun washing up!"

Although I have to admit cleanup has almost always been like masturbation for me: a solo activity. Unlike masturbation, I never found it very fun. Maybe it would be less onerous if a group activity.

I recall telling someone once about my Dreams of a Dishwasher. Particularly useful, I said, if I ever had guests. She chirped about how the guests will surely chip in and help. Er, that was not something I ever saw happen. Nor is it anything I'd expect for a lot of situations, such as if I were to have a Hyacinth Bucket-style candlelight supper.

During my college years it was not unusual to be invited to dinner at a friends home and meet the family. So many times great fun and conversation would work itself into the kitchen where everyone would help with the washing up. It was fun when the conversation turned as Mom would put the clean dishes away and tell a story of how each piece was a wedding gift from an old friend.

The tech-life removes all the special moments that make us human, like sharing laughs over a sink filled with dirty dishes.

You have a point.

The other thought I had a while ago is that there is an argument to be made for using nice dishes when entertaining. And such dishes are often not dishwasher compatible. Indeed, I have a sense that the stuff my mother used for guests was not only typically handwashed, but--unlike our daily dishes--was dried immediately with a towel, not a dish rack like we used with the daily dishes.

Doesn't it seem that Posha is just a oversized electric mixer? It uses a paddle, attached to an arm, to stir the contents of a skillet.
I wasn't aware that stirring food as it cooks was so laborious.


Is a stand mixer also a robot?

 

[rareboy]

The weirdest part is that food doesn't always want to be continuously stirred in a pan or pot.

But yeah. That seemed to be the thrust of the sales pitch. That you don't have to stir the pot.

It's a well known fact that Real robots tend bar.
