I don't love talking to my electronics, but when it works, "siri two minutes" is dramatically more convenient than whatever bullshit you'd do with tiny buttons on a Casio whatever in the 80s. I do agree with the sentiment, but ... we're pretty spoiled.
Two years ago I ditched my stove-top kettle for a small electric one. Since then, my ratio of "kettle started" to "tea had" is probably 20 to 1 simply because the new one makes no noise when it is done and I usually just forget all about it
Thanks! Now if I’d just had a microwave that would remind me that the chicken I was defrosting was done…three days ago. Yep, that happened to me once :/
Fuck preheating, I just leave whatever I'm cooking in there longer. Unless I'm in going to be in the kitchen doing something else for a while, then I might let it preheat for a bit
