Cooking with tools: Building the world’s most dangerous kitchen
It’s no secret that I’m a terrible cook. Every meal I prepare ends with a serenade of smoke detectors and several choice curse words. Despite owning every kitchen gadget ever created and watching Food Network nonstop, my culinary knowledge never seems to increase. I’m waiting for Anne Burrell to show up at my front door and declare me the worst cook in America. Maybe if my kitchen was more like my workshop, I would be a better cook. In a recent video, YouTubers The Real Life Guys outfit an ordinary kitchen with tools to make cooking more exciting. Please don’t try this at home. Your spouse might not appreciate you remodeling the kitchen with lawnmowers, cement mixers, and other tools.
