I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now.

What are your small, “random” or “junk drawer” type of gadgets that you actually use or like having around?

      I am choosing to interpret the instructions as dumping a full bottle of pancake mix into the rice cooker, cook twice, then tip out the resulting pancake-cake and slice it up thinly like a pressed ham. I guess slice extra thinly for crepes?

          Ok ok ok, I’ll explain in further detail.

          HipsterTenZero’s shitty mega pancake

          Serves 1

          Place 1 tablespoon of salted butter in the rice cooker and flip the switch.

          Mix together ~3/4 cup of store-bought pancake mix (I like the cheap kind!) and ~1/3 cup of milk.

          Dump the batter in on top of the liquefied butter.

          Wait for the first cycle to be done by taking the dog out (important step: pet dog)

          hit the switch for a second cycle.

          Make coffee or something. Put on some pants if you haven’t already (optional).

          Once the second cycle is done, poke the top of the 'cake with a fork to ensure it’s fully cooked through.

          If done, rotate the rice cooker 180 degrees vertically to dispense the delicious mega-pancake. Otherwise hit it with a cheeky 3rd cycle.

          it looks like this!

          Top with whatever garbage is around.

          Someone mentioned slicing it up, but I just say scarf it down as-is. Who is gonna judge, eh?
