For the love of food, I buy kitchen appliances. It’s often due to convenience over need, or because a tele-marketer used a brilliant pitch to sell me something I never knew I needed. On hindsight, those buying decisions look frivolous. Now, most of those appliances are pushed away in a corner, forgotten. After all, there are very few tools I need in the kitchen. A couple of sharp knives, a good pot and a pan and a few other essentials like a blender. The rest are add-ons. Some over-the-top, too. For example, that automatic roti (Indian flatbread) maker that dad bought for mum - never did the job. Or that banana cutter that was on offer on an e-commerce website, unless there is an ultra-uniform banana slice competition, why would I need it? Just like a corn kernel stripper. No, thank you, I enjoy my corn on the cob, just like how it should be eaten in the first place - toasted over a flame with a dab of lemon and some salt.
