definitely don’t buy piece of poo poo electrolux anything here’s the combo otr microwave and oven (yes it’s dirty i’m cleaning the kitchen atm)  the lights on the bottom don’t work anymore and also the capacitive buttons only respond when the screen isn’t updating so you have to press them between seconds flashing on the countdown if you want to add time lol you may also notice i’ve had some trouble with the handle that opens the door

ya convection takes care of all the worst parts of consumer ovens imo, usually the uneven baking and temperatures. plus it also helps dry out the surface of some meats which is a plus

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:i was gonna say something like "it'll make the whole thing dry!" but once the surface moisture evaporates there should be a crust that prevents more water from leaving, and besides what makes a roast juicy is largely the fat that melts and seeps through it and that's not going anywhere the thing that really determines how much moisture is left inside a piece is just the temperature it gets to, a fan is unlikely to do much more than keep the surface dry imo you can still do a recipe like that in a non-convection oven, it'll work fine

induction is rad and gas sucks sorry i have a ceramic top electric now and i’d rather have coil electrics even than gas again. you can smell it as soon as they’re turned on and lol if you think combustion byproducts in your house are great it’s hilarious to see people online try to come back with “you must not like to cook then” because fuckin’ lol

Archduke Frantz Fanon posted:blenders are made to mix and liquify and food processors are made to chop it’s mostly this. they’re separate devices. generally if you don’t need fine purées or soups or making smoothies or something, you can get by with a food processor just fine. food processors can also handle much thicker products more easily than a blender can. imo i like the breville food processor because the bowl is sealed so if it’s full of wet stuff it keeps the surrounding area cleaner but the price has gone way up since i bought one. for blenders i like the vitamixes but the blendtecs have their following too

DELETE CASCADE posted:what keeps a food processor from blending as well as a dedicated blender? id say the speed of blades and the fact that good blenders are designed with jars that direct the flow of food back down into the blades so you get the content passing through and around the blades with greater frequency

Jenny Agutter posted:food processors also generally have a small maximum liquid capacity because of the way they're constructed so you can't puree a whole soup in them this is a big plus to that breville i mentioned. fill the fucker up it’s fine (but i do liquids in the vitamix anyway)

look i’ll just myself as a blender snob but the ninja does not compare to a vitamix or blendtec period. i think they may have a more robust single unit now but that nonsense with the multi blades for example is a gimmick now you may not give a poo poo about the extra processing that a vitamix or blendtec can do and that’s also fine

kitchenaid does not make quality big appliances - dishwasher, fridge, etc. their mixers were bad for a bit - they went to using nylon gears that broke in their mixers (there is an astonishing amount of grease inside one of those) but now they’re good again. i kinda want to get one of the cute baby 3qt models to leave on the counter

well-read undead posted:ooh, i didn't realize kitchenaid mixers weren't bad anymore. we have an old one and it's a warhorse, glad to hear if it ever goes out (unlikely) there's a way to reasonably replace it now in fairness i haven’t bought a new one for a while since i could fix mine but this is my understanding of it. generally i think like their 7qt pro models are a safe bet, the 5qt and smaller may be iffier but if you aren’t doing stiff doughs you’ll never have to worry about it

TerminalRaptor posted:I specifically meant the mixers and left that part out in my post. i got my mixer in the 00s so sometime probably between 2000 and now, i don't know a lot about but there was definitely some complaints about the plastic gears. though again for many many people thats actually fine, the issue is just knowing what kind of stuff you're likely to make (still not an excuse mind you i'm always mad about appliance enshittification)

DELETE CASCADE posted:we don't have a lot of counter space for both things, i was kinda wondering if there was an acceptable all-in-one, the ninja sounds like that. i would want it to be decent quality though. a dedicated tool is always better, but i'm also drawn to the dremel ethos of "look, anytime you need a high speed low torque motor, use this, we got alllll types of spinamathings for it" well it’s kinda like what are you going to make with it? i think a lot of people like the idea of a blender for example but don’t use it very much. a food processor is pretty versatile though again often doesn’t get used a lot. if you want something that mostly chops small things or makes small batches of hummus, kitchenaid makes a small wireless food processor that is shockingly capable (not a huge amount of battery life though enough to get through hummus ime). you could fit that sucker in a drawer and still get a blender for example
