Best gifts, gizmos, and tech tools for kitchen nerds
best abt black friday ge appliance deals 2020 kitchen laundry appliances

The kitchen can be an intimidating place, especially at this time of year. Whether you're an old hand or you're cooking your first Thanksgiving dinner, there's a lot to do and a lot to keep track of. The good news is that there are a lot of gadgets and gizmos out there that can streamline the cooking process and help you make delicious meals with a minimal amount of experience.

Most importantly, though, these gadgets make cooking much more convenient. One of the most difficult parts of putting a meal together is the prep work. Some ingredients need more preparation than others; in fact, some -- like beans -- may need to soak for six to eight hours before they're ready to cook. Pressure cookers, air fryers, and other devices can save the day when you forget to do this work ahead of time.

Best ways to use Amazon Echo Show in the kitchen
Amazon Echo Show 15 hanging horizontally on the wall in a kitchen.

One of the most popular places to put an Amazon Echo Show is in the kitchen. After all, the kitchen is the heart of the home and a family gathering place, so it makes sense to keep it in a spot where everyone can access Alexa to help with all kinds of tasks. Amazon Echo Show devices, including the newly announced, wall-mountable Echo Show 15, are remarkably handy in the kitchen. Here are the best ways to use it.
Watch cooking videos

Some of us learn better by watching. If you want a helping hand when learning to make a new dish or to better understand a cooking technique, ask Alexa to show you how. Just say, “Alexa, show me how to chop an onion,” or “How do I make crepes,” and she'll pull and show you guided videos that you can follow. Choose the smaller Echo Show 5 if you need to save space, or consider the bigger Echo Show 8. Check out our Echo Show 5 versus Echo Show 8 comparison, too.
Ask Alexa for recipe conversions
How many cups of butter are in that stick? How many tablespoons are in an ounce? If you're baking a cake from one of grandma's old recipe cards and need different measurements, just ask your Echo Show device to do the conversion for you. That way, there are no mistakes and no need to second-guess, ensuring that your family recipe for pound cake will be moist and tasty.
Play music, radio, or podcasts
A dinner party or family time is always better with a soundtrack. Ask Alexa to play music by genre, artist, or album, or link the Echo Show to other music services like Spotify or Apple Music, and access your playlists, too. You can also ask Alexa to play your favorite podcast or even a local radio station.
Set timers and alarms
The single timer on your oven, microwave, or stove can't compete with the abilities of your Amazon Echo Show device at keeping tabs on multiple cooking timers. You can ask Alexa to set multiple timers or alarms to ensure nothing burns or overcooks.

Don’t believe the marketing! Robot chefs aren’t what you think they are
The robot chef arms of the Moley kitchen robot.

There's nothing more disappointing than misleading marketing. You purchased a bottle of the hottest hot sauce because, based on its advertising, you expect it to numb all your senses, only to discover it barely passes as Taco Bell's mild sauce. Maybe you ran out to buy a "wearable air conditioner" because you're sick of sweating through your outdoor workout garb, but find out too late that you invested in nothing more than a glorified cooling neckband.

While I'm no expert on the fine-printed inner workings of the marketing world, I think we can all agree that one of the main goals of any type of marketing, regardless of the brand, service, or event, is to generate awareness and hype. This is more than understandable, as companies should want to lasso in prospective buyers with alluring lingo. But sometimes the hype train is a bit overloaded and can derail expectations when consumers like you and me finally get our hands on the goods or services being hailed.
