If you got any one of them you’d wonder how you lived without… the air fryer would probably be a good place to start if you’re less into cooking, followed by instant pot, and sous vide is for real enthusiasts ---

The blowtorch is especially fun. My ex loved cooking sous vide, and it really wasn’t that hard to do. ---

Well, I don’t have many kitchen gadgets, but I do have a blowtorch in the basement. I use mine for plumbing. I have the feeling it might melt a hole through the pan, so probably best if it stays there. ---

It’s not hard whatsoever, salt, pepper, ziplock bag or vacuum sealer and frying pan or blowtorch and anyone can be a word class chef… the one thing it does require though is planning meals well out in advance… which for some people is the problem ---

Just realized this thread is labeled “strictly about pizza” guess we have hijacked it. Maybe we better do something different ---

This is the huge problem for me. I plan meals, and then I forget what I planned, and wind up improvising or using the ingredients for an ad hoc meal that I needed for another. ---

I love Creme Brûlée… my favorite dessert. With extra blowtorched sugar on the side. ---

For those that weren’t aware, the new instant pot duo evo has a “sous vide” function… Granted it’s not going to be as good as a real sous vide without a circ pump… but in my assesment this is probably the best news of 2020.
