Got A Great Recipe To Share????

What puzzles me about the article is that it says you don't need a food processor. What are you supposed to use instead, for some jobs? If I'm cooking a stuffed bird, using it to dice onions and celery saves me an hour. Everyone uses a food processor. The first home processors appeared in the '70s, and their popularity has never waned, nearly 60 years later.

And why IS the article pitched as what kitchen stuff CHEFS say people don't need. Chefs are not home cooks. They cook different stuff, often in different ways. They need at least some different things. Like sous vides. Obviously, chefs do not use Instant Pots. I don't really think of pressure cookers as part of a real chef's equipment. But many home cooks who have them--home cooks who work and need to provide a meal for a partner and kids every night--say they're life savers.

I just bought a rice cooker. It's small, meant perhaps for two servings at most, depending on what you consider a serving. Again, whether they're really useful or not depends on the home cook. Many Asians and Latinos eat rice every day, or almost every day, and find rice cookers a necessity. And apparently some take them to work for lunch and on vacation when they travel. This is one of the suggested models:

People like 'em. Mine is a little bigger, and was a half the price, with even better reviews. I have a cauliflower I'm gonna do Indian, and when I get to that I'll let you know how the rice cooker works.

I do agree with the chefs that the breadmaker and popcorn popper aren't worth buying.
