Icebreakers time!

@0ddsidian I'd be a kettle. Constantly getting boiled all worked and steamed up but rarely actually getting used once it's done it's job 😂. I mean how many times do people boil the kettle and forget to actually make a cuppa 😂.

Interesting question @0ddsidian - it really made me pause and think. I reckon I'd be that special serving spoon. The one that gets brought out for family dinners, admired, handled with care. Not used constantly, but absolutely valued when it shows up.

....what landed for me about that choice was that I don't want to be used a lot, but I deeply want to be valued and honoured.

There's something about being irreplaceable - not because I'm doing everything, but because there's only one me. When I show up as my true, authentic self, that's when I'm most valuable. After years of being the reliable tool that gets used until it's worn down, the serving spoon feels different.

It's about being purposeful without being depleted. Being treasured for the specific way I create space for others, not just for what I can produce or accomplish. Maybe it's my body saying, "You've spent enough time being used a lot. What if you explored being irreplaceable instead?"

Keen to read what others share - what kitchen item did you land on forum friends???

And can thermomix @Oaktree

join too @TAB ?
may I just watch ?

@0ddsidian

I would be a wooden spoon because I am versatile and like baking.

I can relate in some way to all of them but the tongs stand out for me. I am always picking myself up…sometimes it takes more than one go to get it right.

I would be a toaster, a breakfast staple that makes starting the day great.

I'd be ready to pop out the bread, just at the right amount of crispness and never burnt. Because I have perfect timing.

You would use me every morning at the start of the day as I am very important.

I think I'd be a rice cooker! I'm very much a busy person, and I use my rice cooker a lot. I also like to think that I'm just as versatile and reliable as a rice cooker 🍚

@0ddsidian

The pyro in me says that I would be the gas torch so I could set things on fire

My current mood would be a meat tenderiser... I'm sure you can see where that's going

I think normally though I would be a rolling pin because it enables you to use up scraps of dough or fondant or allows you to start again

I would be a freezer. My spirit animal is a penguin 🐧 and I detest the heat!

I'd be the polar opposite of real life and be sleek and slimline 😁

I absolutely love everyone's answers so far! Every single post (no exaggeration) made me smile. 🥰

What might I be like? I'm not sure. Seriously, i dont know. Happy for someone to suggest one and a reason why 😆.

(Am I digital scales because I can measure things analytically? Am I a general-purpose mixing spoon? Am I, like @ENKELI a freezer due to my preference for cold?)

I would wish I could be... ahh I cant find an image of it. And its soo hard to describe. (Actually, that DOES sound like me!).

Its like a mixing utensil (i use it to break up mince in the frypan lol), with 6 "arms" (spokes?) From the central handle that go out horizontally.

I bought one in Norway (or Denmark?) In the early 2010's as a useful souvenir.

I'd take a photo but I am not home. And I have no name for it to find one lol.

They are weird and no one really knows what its meant to be used for or how, but you still find it useful for something. 🤣 <-- i'm just a non-dcandinavian version, yeah??
