Noticed that Housing put out updated packing lists for everyone living in RIT housing recently. Under "What Not to Bring" for Res Halls and the Inn now includes "any appliance intended to be used for cooking".
What's up with that? I thought the rule for years was auto-shutoffs only, and no microwaves, toasters, or open flames. I was getting excited to bring Ol' Rice Cooker, is this policy change going to doom me to takeout and TV dinners again?
I’m a med student on a budget, but I do have the chance to get one more appliance to cook with. I currently have a stovetop with a pan, a microwave, and a small toaster oven. What other appliance could I get that would give me access to the most recipes? Thanks so much!
This will keep the paper towel from moving during cooking and ensure the top remains covered!
Just a note. One of the benefits of being vegan is the extraordinary range of foods one can enjoy. One appliance we've found that helps expand that range is a high-end blender.
We use a Vitamix. The downside is that the high power blenders like Vitamix and Blendtec are painfully expensive for most people. We certainly gritted our teeth when we bought ours.
The value is excellent, however. Our Vitamix still hasn't missed a beat for the over 10 years that we've been using it. We expect to die before the Vitamix does.
At any rate, if you're into exploring the vast range of recipes available in the world of plant-based haute cuisine, a high-powered blender is your friend.
I told me wife not to buy one and she did it anyway just like a bajillion other people and no matter what you put in there a superior cooking method exists for that item and the recipes that everyone shares online for them all that stuff is trash as well and they all taste like the definition of "meh" if you disagree go get tested for Covid because your sense of taste and smell are broken.
PS: Crock Pots suck too and your roast tastes lifeless Karen.
So I'm a graduate student and we are required to brainstorm ideas that can be modified or made better. I thought this was the best way to gather some input. (Sorry if this doesn't meet the community guidelines as this is my first post here). You can share all the thoughts that come to your mind when you are unhappy with a kitchen appliance or an instrument and ypu thought it could've been designed better.
Hey y'all, I am a student who moved to a different country very recently and I want to cook some proper food. Unfortunately, there's no kitchen where I stay, but I have a rice cooker/slow cooker, a toaster, an electric water kettle and a microwave. Now I would love to have at least a hot plate, but I am kind of restricted from having one at my place. What would be a good dish to cook with these minimal tools? Please share any recipes if you can. I am tired of eating soggy supermarket pizzas. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Way too expensive to be eating out everyday and my parents live about an hour away from where I’m training. We try cooking about a few days to a week worth of food when we go over. I want to refrain from eating so much processed foods since they usually have high-sodium content. What are my options for eating as healthy as I can during these few months? Peanut butter and jelly for life til death do us apart?
My nomination is any cup that doesn't pass the Fist Test.
If I can't fit my fist in a cup, then I won't buy it because then I won't be able to clean it easily.
Hey i had this delicious barbeque a long time ago with some distant family at their place in another country where they had this weird Korean BBQish contraption that would let the fats and juices of the meat grill in the middle run down in a noodle broth that was around the korean grill like a moat.
I don't remeber the name of this machine i just remeber it being really delicious,
Other then looking for said machine/cookingstove i would like some general pointers on how best to make korean BBQ, is there any safety concerns, should the meat be as thin as possible and how should i prepare said meat?
What are some of the best kitchen appliances and/or cookware that you use for keto cooking? I’m planning to get some sort of food processor and blender, but I would love suggestions on any other items you wouldn’t want to cook or food prep without. If you have suggestions on specific brands, that would be great too! Thanks!
So long story short, I got lucky with a raffle that won me $2000 AUD for kitchen appliances only.
I've already got a powerful food processor, a rice cooker, and a pasta maker. My apartment unit already has the white goods (stove, oven, fridge, dishwasher) so I don't need those.
I've got my eyes on an ice cream maker. But what else would you recommend?
Edit: Forgot to mention I already have Wusthof knife (one chef knife and one peeling knife) and sharpening stones (1000 and 6000 grit)!
So for Christmas I've received a large Amazon gift card. About 150$.
I don't really have any fancy cooking appliances so I'm looking to invest in something good. My cooking tools are literally just a cutting board and some nice knives. I've never had any classes or been taught much by family so most of my food knowledge comes from reddit and youtube.
What I like to make: Soups, Pastas, Baked goods (mostly just cookies but I want to learn how to make bread), Roasts (chickens, beef, veg), Breakfast foods.
What I've been looking at: Waffle Iron, Food processor, Standing Mixer (I know this will well exceed my gift card but if it's that good I'd definitely be into the investment), Electronic Scale, Blender.
Can anyone give me advice in what kind of appliances you use and the practicality of them? I'm just very curious about what is in your kitchen and what you use the most often!
Thanks for your help!
I'm itching for a new kitchen toy and an waffling between a Foreman grill, an instapot, an immersion blender, maybe even a waffle iron LOL. Space and finances are limited so I can't buy them all. What would you recommend? I currently have a stove top, convection oven, mini food processor, and a rice cooker. I'm the adventurous type when trying new recipes.
And if you have a favorite, please let me know!

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hey cooking friends! In a classic “fun New York housing story,” we weren’t informed until after move in that there was no cooking gas to our apartment. I was super bummed—I love to cook, and haven’t had my own range in over a year.
All legal and apartment stuff aside, I’ve been stuck trying to figure out how to best approximate a normal working kitchen, and the meals that would come forth from it. So I was wondering if any of you who have been in similar low-tech situations have recommendations for favorite hot plates, the best toaster ovens, and even what frozen meals you swear by. I’m gonna make the most of this, I swear!
Thank you for your help.
I keep seeing companies do the same thing over an over again. There's never really anything innovative. Is there anything you guys would like to see or you wish you could make at home without spending a lot of money on expensive industrial equipment?
