What are your unconventional kitchen tools/utensils you were skeptical of at first but feel you can’t live without?

    Someone gifted me a Le Creuset rice cooker. I use it at least once but often twice a week. At $200+ it’s truly something I never would have bought myself.

      Oh my partner’s been trying to convince me to accept one because I make so much stovetop rice, but don’t want a digital rice cooker with plastic and circuits and all that.

      How does it do?

        If you make a lot of rice then spring for a zojirushi neuro fuzzy. Expensive, yes, gamechanger, yes. Buy once, cry once.

        Get a good pressure rice cooker. These are meant to let you leave the rice warm inside for about up to a week. Game changer and always have rice on hand.

          Not sure any food can safely be kept warm that long, they keep your rice warm and edible for quite awhile but even 12-24hrs is pushing it.

            If it keeps rice above the “danger zone”, dont see why not, but that’s hot, not warm. And a week is pushing it.

        It’s great! It only makes 4-6 servings of rice at a time but I prefer that because it means there’s less leftovers
