this may seem like a strange question to ask, but I think modern kitchen appliances have changed our whole relationship to food. I mean, the whole green smoothie movement couldn't have happened without the 3 horsepower blenders that have become within reach of everybody in the last however many years.
And quick microwaved dinners.
so what's your favourite kitchen appliance?
I used a slow cooker for many years, and enjoyed that experience.
More recently, I've acquired a decent quality juicer (the masticating type - 'crusher' - rather than the centrigual type of juicer, which tend to be cheaper). Also a pressure cooker, which cooks food up to 3 times faster than most normal methods.
It's just changed my whole relationship to food - how it's prepared, and what things I can actually prepare - for eg, brown rice is much more accessible using a pressure cooker (20 min cook times!), and leafy greens can be easily consumed when juiced.
the wonders of these devices!
