There is nothing better than several sockets side by side in the kitchen (and also in other rooms).

No annoying unplugging, no moving back and forth. Everything has its place and works immediately.

But you really have to want to overlook it.

Very many sockets because of many devices. Some of these devices in my eyes unnecessary. Causality: Many devices require many sockets. Logical consequence: Fewer devices require fewer sockets. Replacing a kettle with an induction-capable pot frees up one socket. But yes, ecologically it would be better to keep using the kettle if it's already there.


See, that's what I mean. For me, kettle, coffee machine, deep fryer, and toaster are unnecessary, ergo space wasters, ergo unnecessary sockets are kept available for them. Think about what that costs in terms of space and thus money... and I still regularly toast, fry, and make coffee.
Filling the countertop and cabinets with all these things just makes zero sense to me. But hey, everyone is different, and that's how it should be.

I just can't get past the logic of "wondering" about a specific device but having five others to make up for it (each demanding its own socket). Where's the fucking sense in that?

Some things can be replaced. But anyone who has ever unsuccessfully tried to whip egg whites with a TM that hasn't been freshly washed will appreciate an alternative. And you can certainly cook "normally" sometimes instead of with the TM.

Without electricity?
Or do you switch plugs?

By the way, I am not a fan of unnecessary devices at all. But I know them, and that’s why I can answer questions like “why so many sockets” neutrally.
Just because I got an electric hotplate for the reasons mentioned doesn’t mean I want to cook my soup with firewood.
That said... I also like to avoid discussion loops, so I will either leave now or wait for a new topic.

Toasting and frying on the stove, coffee water on the stove and then hand filter or for groups just in the TM. Overall needs a power outlet next to the stove.

The thing with the fire was ironic. But many kitchen appliances can't do anything faster or better than no kitchen appliances or a multifunction tool. But they do take up space.

And to be honest: If my TM ever breaks down, I will survive. But without my knives, my good cutting board, and my favorite pan, I'm immediately done. The rest is always somehow accessories.

No one in this thread has said anything about your great device (at least I haven’t read it), but you have to defend your thing out of thin air. Do you have a problem? Or did I not read everything?
