Which gadget makes your life better?
For me, it’s a bidet toilet seat. I bought one that didn’t really fit as well as I hoped, so now I am shopping for a v2 based on experience. I don’t want to live without one going forward. That’s for sure.
Laser thermometer. I learned a lot about better temperatures at which to cook things and now get more repeatable results when cooking.
Kitchen scale. Recipes are easier to prepare when weighing ingredients as opposed to using measuring spoons and cups.
Both make food a better experience, which leads to more satisfactory meals and eating less overall.
A laser isn’t going to get you an accurate reading of what the inside of the meat is: Get yourself a meat thermometer instead.
