Got a robo vacuum (Roborock q revo). Amazing stuff. It runs every day and the first floor has never been cleaner.
Air fryer has been fun though I’m still trying to learn what works well with it.
3D printer (Bambulab A1)! So fun.
I just realised that I’ve spent like 2k on gadgets in the past two months oops.
Though I really really want a rice cooker but haven’t pulled the trigger… yet.
Something a bit cheaper is this home made bread that needs no kneading and is amazing.
3dl water (1.3 cups)
pouch of dry yeast (11g, 0.38oz)
1tsp salt
1tbs maple syrup (or whatever syrup)
2dl of dried oats (0.85 cups)
5dl of wheat flour (2.1 cups)
2tbs neutral oil (haven’t tried olive)
Seeds if you like!
Mix up dry ingredients. Add lukewarm water and mix (add a splash or two extra if it looks like not everything is mixed into the dough). Do not knead, just mix. Add oil and mix slightly. Put a baking sheet in a bread pan and pour the dough in it. Add a spritz of water on the dough surface (not necessary though). Cover and leave in room temperature for 30min. Bake at 175C (350f) for 45-60min.
I love my $19 Aroma one if you are looking for suggestions. My 3 year old can make rice, and it’s absolutely adorable.
Fill the included cup twice and dump into cooker. Fill the cooker with water to line marked “2”. Hit power. Hit brown or white. In 30 minutes you’ll have perfectly cooked rice.
I can’t believe I went 30 years making it the hard way, or not at all.
I found a more sensible thing instead of a rice cooker was to just get an Instant Pot or other pressure cooker, and cook rice in it. It works really well and then I have it to use for a bunch of other stuff.
Rice cooker is definitely worth it if you eat rice with any degree of regularity. I love my zojirushi, it makes excellent rice and its super easy to clean. Plus it plays a little tune when the rice is done!

I think I’ll make one.
Rice cooker you should definitely get if you eat rice on a normal basis. You can get them super cheap like $20

Yeah maybe, haven’t really looked at what I could do with one. Though they’re probably a decent bit more expensive.
Absolutely excellent for cooking chili and bean soups, and you can do pasta in 5 minutes in them. I find they are worth the extra money.
Chili and bean soups sound great, I’ll take a look, thanks!
They were a huge fad (though worth it, IMO), but lots of people have given them up to thrift shops, and you can get them for really cheap now
