/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I was gifted an instant pot a few years ago and a Ninja Foodie air fryer last year as they are extremely popular.

I cook fries and tater tots, pretty much all my potato products in it.
Any frozen shit premade food like taquitos or eggrolls go in it.
I buy raw but battered chicken tendies and tenderloin.
I make a lot of mozzarella sticks as a snack.

It cooks these things faster, with less energy, without heating up the house. And arguably it cooks them better than the full oven.
And I have a decent split oven with convection, so my shit heats up faster than people with single ovens.

Being contrarian isnt going to make people think you are cool anon.

It has its place, just like the Instant Pot does.
Instant pots just shit all over crockpots for potroasts and stews and pulled meats.
I have more than enough counterspace so having them doesnt bother me at all.

With the proliferation of countertop appliances like the Instant Pot and the Ninja Foodi Grill, what is the future of the traditional range/oven? These new gadgets are much more functional, way cheaper, and use less energy. Someone who lives in a shoebox apartment in NYC isn't even at a disadvantage anymore when it comes to cooking. They just need a table and a 15A outlet to cook all of the delicious food they could possibly want. Does a new kitchen in 2030 even include a range/oven, or does it just have a fridge and a bunch of cabinets and countertop space?
