No idea why I thought of this, but it occurred to me: a
pocket tool for chefs.
Here's what I think it would include:
Offset knife - paring, but also oriented to work as a proper
chef's knife for chopping, maybe by ratcheting at an angle
to keep knuckles away from the counter. Would have the
proper curve for chopping as well.
Tongs/flipper - flat metal that fans out to be a
spatula/flipper, then has a release to be tongs.
Microfine grater
Poultry scissors
Two prong fork
Flint & steel
Sharpener
Thermometer
Soup spoon with measuring marks
Corkscrew (classic)
Swiss Army

Wow, you've been here a long time. Does it surprise you that
you have been here for 15 years? Yikes. That makes you an
old timer so to speak. |

Anyway, about the idea, I like the concept, but think that it
would be a bit bulky, and maybe clumsy to use. It sure would
make an impression, though, when in someone's pocket. |

Oh, where to attach the blender, Kitchen Aid mixer, waffle
iron, and pot holders? |

It's called a PhD student, cheap, but they might get
disillusioned and wander off. The key is to get one from an
absolute mess of a country, that way it's extract the horse
DNA or it's back to Gulagistan. |

What can I say, I like crazy half baked ideas :^) |

The AI version of this is the cook in Schlock Mercenary. He began life as a smart bomb but has been repurposed into an intelligent blender / chopper. |
