I just got a great new gadget that I thought anyone who enjoys cooking would
be interested in. It's called StirChef, and it's a hands free, cordless
saucepan stirrer. It only cost $29.95 (I brought mine at Bed, Bath &
Beyond) and includes the batteries, a silicon splashguard (to keep the
bottom clean) and has a continuous and intermittent setting (for when a
recipe calls for only occasional stirring). I've used it for risotto, rice
pudding, gravy, and sauces (to name a few things), and it really works
great. Instead of being stuck at the stove stirring, I was freed up to set
the table, watch TV and even run out to the store for a thing or two I
forgot for the meal!

It has plenty of power (I've used it for polenta) and the batteries last a
long time - the manufacturer says they will last 5 hours on continuous run
or 10 hours on intermittent - I'm still on my 1st set of batteries and have
used it over 12 times for about a total of 4 hours and the batteries are
still going strong.

If you want more info they have a web site - www.stirchef.com that you can
check out.

I checked this out and found it available at HBC.com in Canada for $29 even.
I can pick it up close by thereby saving shipping and handling and the
best... it would cost me $40.13 Canadian if I ordered from the home site.
I lliked it so much I bought 2 extra for gifts.

I'm still trying to understand why I'd buy something from 1) an
obvious SPAMMER and 2) that could only work on an 8 1/2" diameter pot.

If I were so inclined, I'd want it on my chili pot which is... um...
somewhat larger than that. ;-)

Also the domain registration uses a Yahoo address and the spammer used a
Yahoo address. Familiarity with Yahoo makes it easy to open another account
there to use in one's spam.

100% probability of a connection.

No "probability" about it. It's posted on multiple groups and has been
before. Definate connection. SPAM, pure and simple.

Never say never, but I seriously doubt if I'd ever get anything from a
SPAMMER.

I'm rather skeptical of how this works with thick sauces (like chili).
This kind of stirrer is a very common piece of equipment in scientific
labs and while they're very useful, they become less and less useful as
the liquid gets thicker. I can't imagine any kind of magnetic stirrer
being powerful enough to stir thick chili or stew.

I've always thought a kitchen would benefit from a powerful overhead
stirrer, like the ones we use in the lab. It would be extremely easy to
incorporate one into a hood vent - just put the motor up inside the
hood, out of the way, with an attachment where you could clip on the rod
and paddle as you needed it. With an electric motor and various paddle
sizes, it would easily be powerful enough to stir a large pot of stew or
chili, and could work with different size pots and types of food.

It sounds a lot more useful than a wimpy little magnetic stirrer.

You and everyone else. ;-)

Yup, so far I'll put up a wooden spoon against most anything.

Sounds great, need an invester?

I actually gave that idea to a friend of mine about 20 years ago.
Well, not in the hood but a device similar to what the SPAMMER has but
heavy duty. I gave him the basic specs and told him to market it and
we'd split. Needless to say, never happened.

First of all, whether spammer or not, I got a great deal. There are only 2
of us at home and the same for the gifts so we don't often use huge pots,
except for Chili and that doesn't require constant stirring.

If you ever watch a television show called "Monster House" on
the Discovery Channel, they did a race car themed house where
the kitchen had a series of overhead pull-downs like those found
in automotive workshops. One of the pull-downs was an air powered
drill with a whisk attachment. Sounds similar to what you are
describing.

The problem I seer with any automatic stirrer is that the dishes that it
would be most useful for, such as polenta and risotto, require attentive
stirring that is sure to get the entire bottom of the pan including the
corners. I cannot see any motorized device doing this.
