Default Neat new kitchen utensil

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.

What a cool idea!! 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.

A large serving spoon works for me and it cost me $1.00.

ONLY???? For 30 bucks I want a lot more
than an automated spoon!

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.


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

Odd that some think this sort of fake post is useful. So far there've
no follow-ups that aren't at least somewhat negative. 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.
