Short And Not Very Sweet
What\u2019s the difference between a tool and a gadget? For me, it\u2019s the mechanics and typically, the more complicated it is, the more gadget-y it becomes. I think that in order to replace or supplant a good tool, you have to get complicated. I mean, why use a simple knife when you could get a giant chopper, that slices, dices, juliennes, and more all in one stroke? And, you need an entire cabinet shelf just for it and all its parts.\n\n\n\nNow, I\u2019m not against a good, multi-tasking gadget that you can use for lots of different things. Heck, I talk about one of my favorites in this episode. What I hate are uni-taskers (thank you, Alton Brown) that take up space in your cabinets and drawers and that you only use for one maybe two things. Maybe just to avoid using a knife?\n\n\n\nNow, I know, gadgets can be fun much more fun than a tool, oh, that gets the job done. So, borrow your friend\u2019s gadget, use it until you\u2019ve had all the fun you can handle and then give it back. You\u2019re done, you\u2019re over it and you can go back to, oh, I don\u2019t know, your knife.\n\n\n\nThis episode is a short one but it definitely hits on all cylinders because why belabor the point when you can get in and out, no muss, no fuss and be done with it\u2026kinda like a smart kitchen tool. See what I did there?\n\n\n\nHere are a couple of highlights (because you should listen to all of a short episode anyway):\n\n\n\n01:12 \u2013 People have a hard time with tongs\n\n\n\n03:31 \u2013 Do you have a garlic press?\n\n\n\n07:43 \u2013 I love my immersion blender\n\n\n\n11:13 \u2013 More thoughts about Imperfect Foods\n\n\n\nDo you have a favorite gadget that you can't live without?
