And like, for example, like in Indian families, I know. 174 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:03,480 Right. It's like pressure cookers indispensable, you know, for like cooking, braising, mutton curries and stuff like that. 175 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,480 And like, I get it. I totally get it. 176 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,480 And like I'm... 177 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,480 Here's also super common here in Spain, probably because of the chickpeas and the stews. 178 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,480 But here you will find one in every single home for sure. 179 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,480 Lentils, these kind of things are very commonly cooked there. 180 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,480 Maybe I should get one, you know, for stuff like brisket. It's really nice. Braised brisket. 181 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:33,480 Hey, and we forgot about probably the Ferraris of home appliances that we know from professional kitchens, which is a KitchenAid. 182 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:34,480 KitchenAid. Okay. I thought you... 183 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,480 No, no, no, the KitchenAid. I was thinking about the thermobricks. Sorry. 184 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,480 But also the KitchenAid is also like, well, what about the KitchenAid first? 185 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:47,480 KitchenAid, like I've never had a KitchenAid at home and I think I wouldn't use it that much. 186 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:54,480 It's more like a restaurant equipment or I mean, if you're someone who bake a lot or... 187 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,480 Because you can do a lot of things. You can make pasta or rind meat of these kind of things. 188 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,480 But these kind of things I never do at home. I personally. 189 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,480 Yeah. No, I totally see what you're saying. 190 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,480 Like I think the KitchenAid is very nice for somebody who cooks a lot. 191 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,480 Because the cool thing, like you said, is that you can have all the attachments. 192 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:25,480 So for people who don't know KitchenAid, it's like a device that is basically like a mixer where you can knead dough or whisk with a bowl attachment. 193 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:33,480 But the thing is that you can open like a little hole in the top and you can add loads of attachments, a pasta sheeter, a meat grinder. 194 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:41,480 I think just for the meat grinder, for example, it's like if you're really into cooking, you do this sort of stuff, you know, and you're somebody who wants to like grind meat. 195 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,480 You want to make sausages. Like I think the versatility of it is very cool. 196 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:53,480 Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Well, you can even and for me, that's the best way to make ice cream at home. 197 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,480 Did we talk about this at the ice cream episode as well or didn't we? 198 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:03,480 You just freeze like a tray with your ice cream mixture, but it has to have a specific amount of sugar. 199 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:10,480 You cut it into cubes and you throw it there and you just let it knead like a dough and you get like a perfect ice cream. 200 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:21,480 But you will have it just, you know, like for a banquet service where you have like 200 people and you do the whole thing because it's not, you know, like you put it in the freezer, it will get super hard. 201 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:22,480 Yeah. 202 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,480 But in that moment, it's super creamy and nice. 203 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:33,480 Yeah, that's cool. I've never actually seen that. But like, you know, the dough kneading thing, the whisk is, I mean, useful for meringues and whatnot. 204 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,480 Meat grinder, pasta sheeter, you know. 205 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:43,480 Mooses, that kind of things. But I was talking about the Thermomix. I won a Thermomix with a contest. 206 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:53,480 So I had one at home and after a few months I gave it to my mom because I just know she will give it lots more of use, you know, like, 207 00:14:53,480 --> 00:15:05,480 because I was, I use it, I don't use it as much and I use it just to blitz stuff, you know, like most chefs, you know, most chefs just add heat and speed and that's it. 208 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:12,480 Nobody uses programs, nobody steams, nobody stews, but you can do all that on a Thermomix. 209 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:19,480 You can. I've never in my life done anything else but just mix with a Thermomix or like... 210 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,480 At temperature. 211 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,480 A few times I've added temperature. 212 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,480 A few times temperature. 213 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:35,480 But like so fucking rarely, you know, like, I don't know. It's like for me it's kind of like, you know, at one point we, in a restaurant I was working and we got a new ice cream machine 214 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:43,480 and the ice cream rep came to like to explain this fancy ice cream machine and he was like, okay, so here the freezing programs, ice cream, sorbet, blah, blah, blah. 215 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:56,480 But you have loads more programs, you know, here you can also add heat, you can make, here all the programs, the recipes, you can make bolognese, you can make ragu, you can make stew, you can make bechamel. 216 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,480 And I was like, man, I don't care. I don't care about it. 217 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,480 I just want an ice cream. Like this is great. Well done. 218 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:11,480 But I'm never going to use this ever. And it's kind of like, like this with Thermomix. I think Thermomix is good for mixing. 219 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:18,480 It's a good mixer, but it's kind of just too much for what I use it for, you know? 220 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,480 Yeah. I mean, it's a super, I'll just say for me it's the best mixer in the market. 221 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:30,480 And yeah, like everything else is extra because, no, but I have used the heat settings. 222 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,480 I've never used a program, not a single time. 223 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:41,480 And I know the new ones even have like systems where you can program your shopping. 224 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:47,480 So you get, you know, groceries and you do it all through the Thermomix interface. 225 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,480 That's crazy. 226 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:56,480 But yeah, that was working in some cities in the United States. I don't know if it's still working, but I remember reading an article about it. 227 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,480 Yeah, that's just crazy. It's super interesting. 228 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:04,480 But I've done like lentils and that kind of stuff on Thermomix. Yeah. Oh yeah. 229 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:11,480 And yeah, because I had one at home, I had one at home and it was, you know, but actually I prefer doing those things. 230 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:22,480 Traditional metal, you know, those things are mostly for people who don't know how to use a knife, you know, or how to make lentils the normal way. 231 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:29,480 Yeah. Or super busy, you know, home cooks that have families and are super busy, you know, handling a lot of stuff. 232 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:37,480 Ah, come on, man. You know, my grandma used to cook like fucking bang vids, you know, while working two jobs. 233 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:43,480 I don't know. Like, it's not like too busy. And I don't know, you know, these appliances are really cool. 234 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:54,480 But it's like put a pot on the stove, make a, you know, make a sofrito, make some lentils, learn how to do that and then program your mixer afterwards. 235 00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:02,480 You know, that's it for this week's episode of potluck food talks. 236 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,480 If you like what we're doing, make sure to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode. 237 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,480 You can also find us on Instagram and TikTok as potluck food talks. 238 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,480 The show airs every Monday.
