I, for one, love kitchen gadgets, whether I use them all the time or not. I have a drawer with a basket that is full of little gadgets like; an egg slicer, different kinds and sizes of thermometers, apple slicer, lemon squeezer, turkey lifting forks, and a magnetic pick up tool just to name a few.
Maybe not a kitchen gadget but I got a new blood pressure monitor on amazon and use them in the kitchen. It is designed very well. It goes on the wrist which you hold at chest height. But it was defective. It kept giving me an ERR code. Then my blood pressure was 213 over something!!!! I ran around looking for everything I had to save myself because my blood pressure is usually low. I checked it doing it just like hubby had. What have I got? Hybiscus flowers, beet root...Wait. Maybe I will read the instructions. It is supposed to sit on the INSIDE of the wrist, not like a watch! I dropped about a hundred points. No More Kitchen Gadgets!!!! Wonder if I step on my scale upside down...
I read long ago the wrist monitors are defective because they react off the tendons in our wrists. I strongly recommend the Microlife BP3GX1-5N. It is hand-held and very reliable and lasts forever.
I've heard the wrist BP things are NOT a good accurate reading....I never bought one, a cuple people w ho come to check me have had one or two. Very few
