Re: information wanted
In large part the acceptability of high technology cooking depends on
what your goals are. I use my food processor quite often for meals we
eat for only our own consumption at home, or for meals made for close
friends who know us well. Were I cooking a "show off" meal, I would
do everything meticulously by hand...the expense in time I find to be
worth the effort.
In general, I can accept a food processor as a useful machine that saves
time without degrading the quality of the meal too much. I do *not*
like microwave ovens, but that is a matter of personal taste. Most of
the foods I like to cook suffer under microwave cooking. My one
experience with a convection oven was *wonderful* and I have contemplated
buying one of my own. Wokking is an art of its own and is more a matter
of preference than of high tech. I find the results wonderful, but proper
preparation of the food is extremely time-consuming, much like using a
chafing dish.
