Lynn wasn't alone, I'd never heard of it either.......neither had my supervisor, and when I showed her the link she said "Why not just use a knife?' - guess we're just not gadget people.
Why not use a knife is valid. My wife is a great cook & gadgets that make her happy & help prep food the way she wants to present food is why she has one.
As an example here is a list of what she has available to cook with.
1. 60,000 BTU 4 burner BBQ with rotisseri
2. Propane burner aside of the BBQ for use with a wok
3. Free standing rotisseri capable of holding to roast a 140lb. pig
4. Masterbuilt Digital 711-Sq in Black Electric Smoker
5. new 5 burner gas stove/oven
6. microwave oven
7. Breville convection oven
8. CHEF iQ Smart Pressure Cooker 10 Cooking Functions & 18 Features, Built-in Scale, 1000+ Presets & Times & Temps
9. Aroma rice steamer
10. under cabinet toaster oven.
11. West Bend slow cooker
12. George Foreman Submersible Grill
13. George Foreman Healthy Cooking Skillet <--- really great for frying bacon.
14. Ronco showtime rotisseri
15. BELLA 4 Slice Non-Stick Belgian Waffle Maker, Fluffy Restaurant-Style Waffles
16. Zenchef air fryer
I think that's all.
Of course not all used every day but for great presentation gadgets to prep food are a must. I don't think I have enough time to generate a list of the gadgets she has.
