Outrail posted:Who are the stone age goons bewildered by the existence of a electric kettle? Is this another luddite American thing? quote:An “average” kettle in the UK runs at about 2800 W and in the US at about 1500 W; if we assume that both kettles are 100% efficient than a UK kettle supplying 2800 joules per second will take 127 seconds to boil and a US kettle supplying 1500 J/s will take 237 seconds, more than a minute and a half longer. Anyway, for my best household items, I would put forward: A manual food processor. Usually I only want to chop things to 'fine dice' or less. It takes about 10-20 seconds with a manual food processor, which is less time than it would take just to get out and plug in a powered one, and cleanup is also quicker and easier, and you have more control over the chopped-ness level. And it's quieter. A knife is also fine for some things, but making e.g. coleslaw or salsa with a knife is tedious. Hot tip, manual food processor is also good for mixing pastry dough. A decent cast iron pan. A decent big silicone turner. The weirdest one, a mesh cutlery tray. I never would have expected such a dumb thing to make me happy, but we used to have a plastic one and it regularly got gross with dust and soap scum or something, and cutlery would hop over the slopey sides of the sections when the drawer is opened or closed quickly. The mesh one just works, and doesn't get gross. I like things that just work and things that aren't gross. The difference is a tiny happiness boost every time I have to put cutlery away. Probably only a good thing if you previously had a bad cutlery tray though.

I started giving friends electric kettles as gifts and every one of them said it was the best thing ever. Aside from my electric kettle, my most used kitchen items are: Microplane Big wooden cutting board Flexible plastic cutting boards Wok Cooking chopsticks Commercial Rubbermaid silicon spatulas/scrapers Rest of the house: giant jug of Simple Green microfiber cloths vacuum cleaner Specialty item: Litter-robot. If you have a cat (or lots of cats) it is a miracle product, worth every penny.

roomforthetuna posted:Probably upwards of 90% of American households boil water with a microwave or on a stovetop. They certainly don't have the "you can get an electric kettle for 5 quid from a charity shop because they're everywhere" thing the UK has. In part this is also because an electric kettle on a 120V supply is poo poo. Toasters in America are also worse. LOL. But seriously they can't design a 120V kettle? I'm not an electrical engineer or a clever man so.

I find that most people lack a good water urn to hold their drinking water for the day. Personally, I prefer a classic model, The Revigator. This one is designed to bring the full flush of health and well being. ![]() This brand of urn is lined with Uranium ore! The uranium restores the water to full health levels. ![]() 100,000 counts per minute! ![]()

Smythe posted:Lmao this loving owns The scary part is that it was actually used for drinking water. You were supposed to fill it each night, allow the water to bathe in the radioactive glow of the Uranium ore, then drink it all the next day. Not sure how many people got cancer from this, but I'm willing to bet several did.

I have a Pur 18 cup water filter and fill it up every day or two. I basically always have a glass of water sitting next to me throughout the day. My water intake has gone down a lot in the past few weeks but I was probably drinking close to a gallon a day. ![]()

Also, for the record I am one of those goons who just learned about an electric kettle. Would have been great during my instant ramen/famine days. e: for content, one recent purchase I was *really* exicted for was wooden drying racks for clothes. I live in an apartment complex that charges for washer/dryer use, and air drying my clothes on these racks has saved me the awful hassle of withdrawing cash, breaking said cash down into quarters, and hoarding them all. Still havent eliminated washing but at least drying is "free".

Bonus points if you pick up some old window screens and use the combination to dry large amounts of fruit and veg in the summer time.

The Walrus posted:oh oh COURSE how could I forget my exercise machine Every time I see these, I imagine they were a thinly veiled excuse for housewives to get a masturbation toy since their husbands were too afraid of real ones. Then I think they probably just make you nauseous from being shaken so much. Can anyone weigh in? Ralph Hurley posted:I got this goofy bug vacuum kids toy thing. I couldn’t find a picture of the exact one I have but it’s something like this. My friend has a bug salt shotgun that he loves. It's just a little hand pumped compressed air rock salt thing but he always seems to have fun getting flies with it.
