This is a fun read, thanks for sharing. My partner and I are not big on kitchen gadgets. We don't own a microwave or instantpot or anything else like that. We do, however, have a crockpot. But it's true, I have friends who are not cooks at all that own the instantpot. And it sits dutifully on their counter never being used. I think the point is if you enjoy cooking you will cook. And if you don't enjoy it, no gadget will change that, no matter how great it works.
I like kitchen gadgets that serve multiple purposes, so the crockpot and air fryer I have are some of my favourites and see regular use, while my immersion blender that I was so excited to use hasn't even been plugged in... When it comes to cooking I feel like the gadgets and cookware don't get me as excited as getting to use a special ingredient or new recipe.
I use my toaster oven fairly regularly although to be honest it's usually to reheat pizza. But one of these days I really want to upgrade it to one with a convection oven/air fryer in it. That just sounds like the best thing.
