The basic tools that no proper ro/ck/ star should be without.

Starting off with based KitchenAid mixers. There's almost nothing they can't do without the proper attachment.

if youre going to get a rice cooker you might as well get this instead. instant pot makes the best chinese broccoli

nice.

Why should I splurge the extra 70 bucks on that model rather than the thermapop model? From what I see it only saves 1 second in read time.

No real need. I actually just got a Mk3 from an open box sale, but since the new Thermapops are just as fast as the Thermapen, if I was getting another one I'd probably go for one of them.

400 dollars is a lot for an appliance for two people, especially when she recently gave me a nice stick blender. She was surprised when I splurged and bought her a kitchenaid 600 2 years ago. I always just like spending money on kitchen stuff like knives, pans, appliances, etc. I know we are tight on budget, I just love to cook and she loves to bake. Besides it's not like I'm buying spinning rims or anything, right?

>> No.7982837

>>7982823
Meme blender? I've used one and it's excellent at everything a blender is supposed to do, and if I end up getting a blender someday, I want it to be a tank that will do everything I want it to do. Right now I use my food processor and hand blender for everything, but a good blender would be so much better for all the sauces and soups I'm trying.

Doing some more research, thanks. If I can get what I need without dropping 400 on something, then by all means. I just hate pussin' out and settling for something so inferior that I would have rather bought nothing at all. I'm not a brand loyalist or anything, I've just thown away 2 hand me down blenders before and I've held off on replacing them.

What I'm probably going to do this Christmas is grab one of their factory refurbshed/demonstration models from $250-330:
https://www.vitamix.com/Shop/Certified-Reconditioned-Series
https://www.vitamix.com/Shop/Certified-Reconditioned-Warranty-Information
They still come with a 5-year warranty (7 on New models) and you can pay extra to get a further extended one if you want.
