Something for the cook who has everything

And to think my mom just used her four kids to help stir. What was she thinkin'?

WOW! Just imagine how easy it will be to make risotto once the 'automatic liquid dispenser' attachment is developed.

Wow, the robo-risotto.

Some of the marketing copy sounds like it could be used for, er, um, marital aids.

From the product description: "Shaft, splash guard and paddles are dishwasher-safe."

Heh.

I liked this bit: "Stir Chef stirs from the bottom up for consistency, while the specially designed paddles can reach into the corners of your pots."

If you know what I mean and I think you do.

My first thought about this thing is that the paddles are made out of plastic. Ever used a plastic/teflon spatula for a very long time sweating vegetables or making roux? They get the perma bend. I smell a piecce of junk.

I did see something similar in a kitchen in Baton Rouge Louisiana. It was a motor designed for the top of large stock pots with stainless steel paddles attached to it. I was used exclusively for making roux. It worked great, but I think the guy (Mike Anderson of Mike Anderson's Seafood in BR and NOLA) had it custom made.
