Kitchen appliance for a budding chef?

:dubious:
yup. just as i expected! People who own kitchen aids ARE having “unnatural” relations with their tools!

I like that inexpensive chopper thing that has a handle you swirl around in a circle and it chops things up, or whips up your eggs or pancake batter - but I forget the name of it.

There is nothing unnatural about a man’s love for his mixer. Or a woman’s for that matter. They are a very versatile appliance.

Why a Kitchenaid is better than a woman.

  1. They don’t get upset when you tell all your friends what you’ve done with them.
  2. They’re always ready for some action.
  3. Nobody cares what color your Kitchenaid is.
  4. No one will care if you have more than one Kitchenaid.
  5. Kitchenaids have no problem when you bring out the cream. Or chocolate. Or just about anything else.
  6. Kitchenaids don’t get upset if you igore them for a week or more.
  7. 5 minutes, 5 hours. It’s all the same to Kitchenaid.
  8. Your Kitchenaid won’t get jealous of other appliances.
  9. In fact, your Kitchenaid will cooperate quite nicely with other appliances.
  10. Cleanup is a breeze
  11. Sharing your Kitchenaid with friends is always acceptable
  12. You can’t get a Kitchenaid pregnant by putting cream in it.
  13. Kithenaid has no problem with trying different attachments.
  14. Kitchenaid doesn’t have to get dressed up to show off to all your friends.
  15. A mail order Kitchenaid is nothing to be ashamed of.
  1. With Kitchenaid, your dough is going to rise.
  2. Kitchenaid is not disappointed if, perchance, your dough doesn’t rise.
  3. Kitchenaid loves to do it on the kitchen table.
  4. No batch is too small for Kitchenaid
  5. Kitchaid doesn’t need to shave anything

You can also get a meat grinder attachment for a kitchenaid stand mixer, which would probably come in handy for chinese recipes.

Yep. Ivylad loves his.

I would also recommend a good set of knives. Not your big box store variety…we use Henckel knives…they’re expensive, but you get what you pay for. And you’re going to pay for a good knife…think of it as an investment.
