I am not only old, I am old fashioned. I remember the days when women did all the cooking and they did it without all the helpful gadgets that are so commonplace nowadays.
So whether you want it or not, here is an old man's view on kitchen appliances.
Growing up, I had never heard of a microwave, thank goodness. I still do not understand how it works. I do wonder what it is doing to my food though. Have you ever accidently left a piece of metal in one? I have. Someone brought me a sandwich from Hardees one day when I was working. I stuck it in the microwave not thinking much about the shiny paper it was wrapped in. Next thing you know, I see a fire in the microwave and a smell that could kill mice. Why does that happen anyway?
Regardless of if the microwave oven is a communist plot, I will go out on a limb and say, it has ruined women's ability to cook! I shouldn't even say cook anymore as we have entered the age of heating up. "What's for supper mom?" "Oh, I have your favorite tonight Johnny, Hungry Man Microwave Dinner!"
Go to the grocery, what do you see? A bunch of unhealthy crap stuck in boxes that says microwave ready. I don't know why anyone actually has a stove anymore. I guess it just came with the house.
And what is up with all the other stuff. Food processor? God forbid we have to actually use a knife and chop something. Bread Maker? No comment. How about those new pasta makers? The Godfather is rolling over in his grave.
I can't think of a reason to buy any appliance except a toaster. Now, that is one you can sink your teeth into (no pun intended). It performs a service that you can't do yourself unless you are Johnny from the Fantastic Four. Just don't stick your fork in it.
Ladies and I guess men also since we are in the liberation age. Give up all the kitchen appliances before it is too late. Learn how to use your hands and create your own masterpieces like our mothers and grandmothers did. Teach you daughter and (sigh) son to cook also as it will serve them well in the future. It will also give them a skill to pass on to their own children after you are long gone from eating processed, micro-waved foods.
In other words, "get rid of all kitchen appliances except the toaster"!
