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...

I love my induction cooktop. And my rice cooker. And my bullet blender thingy. The only things I use multiple times a week. Oh and my jaffle iron

I love my induction stove as well, better than standard electric and gas by a mile.

Mostly unrelated but hilariously if I place a small empty pan on one of the induction heaters and put it in "boost" mode it actually physically lifts the non handle side of the pan like a centimeter off of the cook top. I just find that interesting, must be eddy currents.

Do you jaffle over the induction cooktop?

Ah k, i always called jaffle irons the one you use over an open flame, and the electric ones i call a sandwich press. The ones with grooves that give you the jaffle shape are the best for sure
