Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!

Question of the week:

What’s a kitchen tool or appliance you can’t live without as a vegan cook?

Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!

In other VTC News: @[email protected] started c/suicidefood to bring back an old blog that had pictures of animals in carnist restaurants as if they wanted to be eaten, it was a famous vegan blog in the 2006-2011 for its shock value.

      Because I figured electric pressure cooker would be number one, I’m going to go with something different and say my box grater and mandoline. I find chopping with a knife annoying and grate a lot of veggies, I find it relaxing.

        So i definitely prefer using a knife but my wife did get me a mandolin and the thing I’ll say is i do love the speed and consistency. If i want something looking real nice i use the mandolin so everything is evenly cut and people think i have master level knife skills until i tell them i ‘cheated’. I do think it’s interesting how many people will notice and comment on the uniformity of things being diced

      You know, 16 years ago I would have also highly ranked my pressure cooker (mine was not electric). Being able to go from dry beans to meal in less than an hour was fantastic. But when my daughter was born I just surrendered to canned beans out of necessity, so I haven’t used it in years. Actually that’s not true, I just don’t use the lid, the pot is great for making soups, etc.
