rice cooker. i have one that i use like a fancy crockpot so i can leave the house and come home to hot food. mandolin or a food processor is a close second, makes chopping veggies a breeze
My issue with food processors is they take more time to clean than they save.
Which one do you use?
Rinse after use, then its a matter of wiping down in hot soapy water.
Never let the debris dry in the food processor or you're gonna have a bad time. Same with blenders.
If you can't reach the crevices you can also run it with warm (not hot) soapy water to clean the crevices.
A bottle brush is great for those crevices, too 🤌🏼
Those little brushes they make for cleaning straws have so many other uses, I swear.
Edit: just realized you said "bottle" and not "little," sorry about that lol
Yeah, and if you're really old-school, you simply use a pipe cleaner... 🤪
Ooh smart idea, I forgot those existed for a bit there lol
That's exactly what the "straw cleaner" people wanted you to do, ya know...
They've fooled me again! When will I ever learn? .·´¯
(>▂<)´¯·.They're insidiously clever. It's not your fault. Better humans than yourself have gone their whole lives assuming those fuzzy bendy things were just for preschool craft projects. 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah, if you can't soak it, get that food off before it dries. This is why I prefer kitchen tools that you can take apart. I replaced my Foreman grill with a griddle with removable plates and love it, even though the Foreman had a bit more cooking area. Plus I got waffle plates and also got rid of the waffle maker that I rarely used because it was such a pain to clean if you ever overestimated how much batter it needed.
i use a mini kitchenaid i got for $50 a few years ago. its easier to store n clean bc its tiny. it isnt good for big batches but is perfect for a few carrots and onion, or a handful of spinach. then i usually just swish it all with warm water and im good to go. i clean while i cook so its basically all done by the time im eating.
I guess I just don't find it hard to chop things with a knife, which is very easy to clean. I have a food processor, but getting it out of the cupboard takes almost as much time as dicing an onion with a knife.
i think for me is im a disaster and usually will end up with veggie particles all over the counter and floor and then have to spend time cleaning that up else the cat gets his far face all over it. on top of that i have a super tiny food processor which makes getting it in and out super easy. if i only had my larger one i could not see myself bothering with it.
