#54 Kitchen Gadgets
February 5, 2008 by clander
White people are under a lot of pressure to like cooking. Everything in their culture tells them that they need to have a nice kitchen and that they need to cook with organic, fresh ingredients to make delicious, complicated food.
Though any great chef can prepare fantastic meals with a knife and a few pots, white people believe that they need a full cadre of appliances and gadgets in their kitchen in order to live up to the pressure.
If you go into a white person’s kitchen you will find a waffle maker, a rice cooker, a steamer, a food processor, a panini press and a blender. They also have hand powered devices like flour sifters, ravioli crimpers, pizza cutters, potato ricers, and a sushi mat.
But, in order for them to truly enter into whitedom, they need to
own the holy grail of white kitchens – the kitchen aid stand mixer (right). They will match this mixer to their kitchen’s color scheme and it will make up the focal point. And much like many religious artifacts, it will remain untouched for months and even years, sitting on the counter to be admired as a testament to their lifestyle.
Kitchen Gadgets also serve as one of the main reasons why white people get married. Look at their registry and you will find gadgets for any possible task in the kitchen. If you end up buying one of these for a white person, your card should make reference to them using a lot to make beautiful food that you hope you can eat one day. This kind of stuff goes over like gang busters.
If you find yourself in a conversation about these things, a good way to say a little but mean a lot is to mention that you “find the consumer models to be poorly built, my friend, a chef, brings me with him to a restaurant supply shop that’s not open to the public. The stuff there is real quality, it’s where I get all of my pans.”
If this is too big of a risk, you should just throw out a combination of these words: “le Creuset, Calphalon, All Clad, Williams Sonoma, and Sur Le Table.” White people go so nuts when they hear these words, you won’t even have to finish your sentence.

I’m black irish by ways of Australia dating a black man and love to cook. I am also very confused by this website due to the fact that I have never laughed so hard in my life.
Edgs are not eggs but they’re close!
Oh man. I have been lusting over a kitchenAid mixer for a year. Neither my boyfriend or my immediate family will buy me one. I miss my rice cooker but have become semi-proficient at making rice on the stove top. I have a food processor, and a George Foreman grill that I used once decided was terrible and banished into the back of the cabinet where it will never be seen again. All of my pans are ancient cast iron (inherited) and I would sell my potential children before giving even one of them up.
What I really need is a decent pan that won’t stick for cooking edgs in. =/ And a stand mixer.
My skin is more white than my white kitchen aid!

Is it completely tragic that I asked for a kitchenaid for my 18th birthday and got it? In pink as well. For my baking and cake decorating. I won’t let anyone else use it its all mine!
I have officially become white! I just bought my very own KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer with lift bowl!
Have no idea how often I am going to use it but I am already admiring the Onyx Black colour that matches my fridge and stove.
Nomadic Asian
LOL!!! You must be living in America… You see. what is in your kitchen is a financial thing. Rich black (or asian or whatever) people have what they want in the kitchen. (up to and including other people to do the cooking) Poor people have what they can afford… Nothing to do with the color of your skin.
A just bought Mos Def Yesterday! Great buy.
I think I’ll use this site as a catalogue. I have to admit, I do own most of the listed objects, but there still are a few great ideas on this blog.
