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. |

Of course, I'll wait a couple of years because I'm too cheap to pay $30 bucks for it... |

Given that you've posted this exact same message in several ngs, I strongly suspect you are making a profit from this gadget. That, therefore, would make this SPAM. rona -- ***For e-mail, replace .com with .ca Sorry for the inconvenience!*** |

I certainly wouldn't want to purchase one at that sort of price!, but I think the point was that you _don't_ hold it. You attach it to the saucepan and it stirs for you while you're off doing other things. So I imagine it could be of use to someone who is physically unable to stir something constantly for any period of time more than a minute or so. -- Rhonda Anderson Penrith, NSW, Australia |

Except any dish that requires constant stirring means along the edges, not the center... I haven't looked at the product in question so I don't know whether it gets the edges or just the centre. If it only gets the centre, then I don't imagine it would be very useful. I just make it a habit not to make anything that requires constant stirring unless I feel like doing it g -- Rhonda Anderson Penrith, NSW, Australia |

It's certainly a silly, overpriced gadget that "anyone who enjoys cooking" would steer clear of. |

Everything else aside, I am not a gifted cook although I enjoy it immensely. I assure you that if I am preparing a recipe that requires constant stirring like a gravy or a roux, I need to be right there watching it the whole time! As long as I am standing there, I might as well stir. It only takes one hand to handle the beer in a two beer roux. j |
