The honest kitchen

The Dishes Nobody
Planned For.

The most interesting ~5 lakh meals cooked aren't the curries and biryanis. They're what owners figured out themselves — unexpected uses, daily rituals, dishes nobody planned for.
Daily Smoothie Machine
Shubeg · Bengaluru · 1,388 meals cooked
Spinach Banana Apple one day, Mango Oats the next. I use upliance every morning. It's my blender now.
Not its intended use
Indian Food, From Germany
Shreya · Germany · 2,642 meals cooked
Palak Paneer, Guacamole, Upma — Indian cooking in a German kitchen. The device travels with the family.
Diaspora cook
Sourdough Ferment
Preethi S. · Pune · "lost count"
upliance maintains 38°C better than my oven ever did. My starter is 8 months old.
Not in library
Rice + Eggs. Every Day.
K V Sebastian · Bengaluru · 2,659 meals cooked
Steamed Rice cooked 265 times. Boiled Eggs 248 times. I don't think about it anymore — upliance just does it while I get ready for work.
