My favorite ice breaker question

My favorite ice breaker question ever: What is your favorite kitchen appliance and why?

Anything, from a utensil, to a large-scale appliance, and everything in between. If you would typically find it in a kitchen, it’s fair game.

Why do I love this question so much?

It gets people talking. Trust me.

Have you ever met someone who can’t live without an airfryer? Or someone who needs a large cutting board (me)? Or someone who cannot cook a meal without a good knife set?

It elicits a reaction of passion. It creates niche communities of people for that particular appliance.
