What gadgets do you use at home that saves a lot of time?

Posted on 10/22/2020 8:15:34 AM PDT by Jonty30

I have a breadmaker, a Zojirishi model. You just throw the ingredients and press the settings. It is that easy and and you can set a time for it to start, so you have fresh loaf for breakfast.

I also use a Starfrit manual food processor. Very eash to clean and I think it's faster than an electric one. Especially for small meals.

Yes, I have a black lab. He sheds. A lot.

But I guarantee he wouldn’t attack/chew up a robot vac.

Traeger wood pellet grill. It takes less than five minutes to prep the grill for cooking. I use it for steaks and brisket.

Not really about the house but related - a remote starter for the car.

Start the car up from inside the house in hot weather and get into an air-conditioned car. Start the car up from inside the house in cold weather and get into a warm car with a warmed-up engine.

It can be installed professionally in a vehicle with a manual transmission as well with the safety steps are built into the sequence.

When parking: Leave the trans in neutral, step on the brake, set the parking brake, step off the brake, set the remote, remove the key (the engine stays running), get out, lock up the car, and shut off the car remotely. If anyone opens a door, the cycle is broken and the car won't start remotely.

When remote starting: Start the car remotely, hit the button on the key fob to unlock the doors (or send the signal anyway if you have manual door locks), open the door, have a seat, insert the key, touch the brake pedal to have the normal running engine take over. If you or anyone else touches the brake or parking brake before the key is inserted, the car shuts off immediately and the cycle is broken.

Attacking the robot isn't the issue I was highlighting.

My plan is to have an integrated speaker system that is connected to a computer, whose sole responsibility is to play music. That’s my plan, after I win the lottery.

easy Peezee, smart phone and blue tooth speakers.

Onion and other vegetable dicer and fine dicer. Saves a lot of time when making soups and stews.

Mandoline slicer. Especially good for finely sliced onions for soups, and potato chips.

Ricer. Great for mashed white and sweet potatoes and applesauce, homemade tomato sauce.

I just had a Frother arrive today as a gift. Unsure what to to use it for since I don’t drink fancy coffees etc. Though I use Vanilla Creamer...not sure it would make any difference.

My dishwasher broke so I bought a dog. Works great and I save money not buying dog food.

I have both the vacuum and the mopper. LOVE them. Out of all of my gadgets, and I do have a bunch, they are probably my favorite as I despise sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping floors.

About the only two uses I could find, outside of frothing milk for a latte was to use it mix pudding and froth eggs for a fluffy omelette.

..”I’m not big on kitchen gadgetry”...

I’m not either, basically since there's just me to cook for. Though I'm fond of an electric can opener. A little arthritis in my thumb the switch from a hand held was wonderful relief. Also like the Toaster oven as saves $$ heating up the range oven.

Try mixing 1/2 and 1/2 1% milk and the french vanilla creamer (I buy it in half galons from Walmart). Froth that up in small cup of coffee made in large mug. Mmmm gud!

So should I use it then to froth the vanilla creamer for coffee? or maybe hot chocolate?
