My vote too.

If you expand the format to rice + dried bean/legume/grain (e.g. lentils, quinoa), you can really expand your possibilities without breaking the bank.

I have success going the route of adding spaghetti directly from the pan with the bacon (or guanciale if I happen to have it) right into a bowl with the egg/cheese instead of egg/cheese into the pan. Residual heat does a good job of getting egg to a creamy texture.

Every morning, we rotate between a Bialetti moka pot + an Espro P3 french press for coffee depending on what level of expression/mouthfeel we're craving out of our beans that day.

For cooking uses, my most used gadgets are:

  • a Ninja digital air fryer to toast/crisp things on the fly.
  • a Instant Pot to pressure cook beans or meat when meal prepping.
  • a Zojirushi for plain or zhushed up rices for meal prep also.
  • a FoodSaver sealer is also used on the reg every time we restock on meat in the freezer or need to store leftovers.
  • a microwave to heat up milk for coffee every morning + to reheat meals throughout the day.
