If there is one thing that keeps people, especially men, away from home cooking, it’s difficulty. There are plenty of simple meals to create, but many of them need a kitchen gadget or 2 to bring the difficulty down a notch or speed up the process. Take Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals for example. All great and simple meals, but most require a blender or a mixer or something like that.
No drama, but that requires actually buying the mixer/blender (hudnreds of dollars) and the time to sit down and figure out how to use the damn thing. Without wanting to cast gender stereotypes, this is particularly difficult for guys. The majority of us have little patience for kitchen gadgets at the best of times. That rule also goes for appliances but that’s another story.
It’s been a while since I have done anything more than a chop and pan fry in the kitchen, so using the new Kambrook X Blade KSB100 was going to be interesting. There is one strict rule I have when it comes to appliances: if I am going to use it regularly, it needs to be simple. I shouldn’t have to read the instruction. So I didn’t. Also, it shouldn’t slice my finger off, which is why I’m now extremely cautious around knives and baked bean cans with ring pulls.
