10 ways to make cooking faster and more enjoyable

I like cooking but I’m slow and plodding in the kitchen. Here are ten ways we can cook faster and be more effective while burning our hands on the stove.

  1. Rocket-Powered Spatula: Why flip pancakes one at a time? With the Rocket-Powered Spatula, you can send your breakfast airborne, flipping dozens of pancakes simultaneously as they soar gracefully through the air before landing perfectly cooked on your plate.
  2. Self-Cleaning Plates: Infused with the saliva of a chameleon, these plates change color to match your table after you’re done eating. No need to wash them; just let them blend in!
  3. Magnetic Cutlery: Tired of sorting forks and knives? With Magnetic Cutlery, just throw them in the drawer and watch as they self-organize into neat rows, attracted to the magnetic strips on the drawer’s sides.
  4. Hovering Pots: Using anti-gravity technology, these pots hover above your stove. When you’re done cooking, simply push them gently, and they’ll float over to the sink for a quick rinse.
  5. Time-Traveling Trash Can: Throw your scraps in, and they’re sent back in time to before they existed. Not only is your trash gone, but you’ve also technically reduced your carbon footprint!
  6. Instant Freeze Oven Mitts: Accidentally overcooked your meal? Just grab it with these mitts, and they’ll instantly cool down your dish to the perfect temperature.
  7. Self-Peeling Vegetables: Genetically modified veggies that, when shouted at with the command “Peel!”, shed their skins in fright, saving you the hassle.
  8. Dish Drones: Mini drones that pick up your dirty dishes, fly them to the dishwasher, and even stack them neatly. Just be sure to duck when they’re in flight mode!
  9. Sonic Boom Blender: No need to wait for your smoothie. This blender uses the power of sound waves to instantly pulverize and mix your ingredients. Just be sure to warn your neighbors before pressing the “ON” button.
  10. Teleporting Tupperware: Leftovers? Simply place your food in these containers, set the destination (like your office or your kid’s school), and watch as your meal teleports to its location for later consumption. Say goodbye to forgotten lunches!
