That used to be me lol. I saw it for $8 at a thrift store and my little crow brain pinged ‘treasure!’.

It’s a little gadget that introduces a new process or technique instead of refining an old one (e.g. induction burner vs gas range)

I do that too with the popcorn dinner. A technique I learned was heat the oil with 3-4 kernels in it. Wait for them to pop and turn off the heat. Then add all your kernels and preheat them in the oil for about 30 seconds before putting the heat back to high.

I have one too! The warm backlighting is nice.

like this

its a hotplate with a very wide heat distribution, an agitator for spinning the kernels and a big ol bowl for the popcorn

That look could be matched/masced with unbleached cotton drill vest and pants. You could get a similar effect finding a pair of painter’s pants and a matching or complementary vest.

Roundhouse Denim makes good quality jeans and sells factory seconds/irregulars for extremely cheap. You could try these painter’s pants and look for a vest. Just about any vest in a color you like would work well too just make sure to get one without a buckle across the back or it will give ren faire (unless that’s what you want!).

I thought dim sun was supposed to get you steamed buns not stop you from steaming your buns!

Great!
