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...

an immersion blender is not a gizmo wtf. what are you gonna do, stab your soup a lot to make it smooth?

It's a little gadget that introduces a new process or technique instead of refining an old one (e.g. induction burner vs gas range)

Regular blender? That's what I used to do before I realized how cheap an immersion blender is.

Instant Pot. Cooks everything, requires almost no effort. If it had arms to hug with it could probably replace your family.

Breville Barista espresso machine.

It's pretty extravagant, but it's been very reliable for over 10 years. It's surely paid for itself many times over compared to going to a cafe.
