With a weight constraint of 80lb, a stainless steel block wouldn't do a very good job of taking up space (the express purpose of the item) because it would only be 6.5 inches (16.5mm) to a side

Tungsten would do an even worse job! The sides would only be 4 inches (10cm)!

Should be aluminum, way better at taking up space for its weight

Emotional

Wait I can't count that high can we visualize it with how many schools you can shoot up with those?

Can I get it in red?

Yes, but if you have other red appliances, the shade of red won't match.

tbf it doesn't say it's a solid block

36kg for those of you who aren't using imperialist (fascist) units of measurement.

I guess it's partially hollow

The app for this thing sucks tho

But I already have an air fryer 😔

Yes, but first you have to carry it through 19 puzzle chambers to test if you are qualified for cube ownership.

IRL clutter is mental clutter which is why I have banned all counter appliances from our home. All such appliances are stored until they are needed and then put away, a practice which trades occasional 30s periods of effort for a lifetime of mental clarity.

That's how I feel about airfryers when I already have a perfectly good convection oven.

Fuck an air fryer. I will never join the cult. I have a convection oven and Dutch oven. Things which need baking get baked. Things which need frying get fried. It really is not that fucking hard. If I don't have time to preheat an oven or oil, it's not worth cooking.

I have literally never needed a pressure cooker or slow cooker. If I need stock in less than 8 hours I will just buy some from the grocery store and spruce it up with fresh aromatics. On the other hand, if I need to make stew or pork shoulder or chili, I'll use a dutch oven.

It's 89.99 GBP.

Free shipping though.

Not big enough needs to cover the whole counter.

You learned that from Duck Tales? That same rich duck only lied to me that it would be possible to dive into a pile of gold coins like water.

That'd make it too easy to lift off the counter though!

You just know it would have a subscription and always online requirement

If at any point, one is not met, it just phases out of existence

It will be unsupported in 6 months too.

ios version for the steel cube experience requires liquid glass

isnt an air fryer just a convection oven anyway.

It happens in the new series too. Only one of the nephews manages to pick up the skill.

Airfryers are just much faster to deal with smaller things. Less air to heat up before it reaches the desired temp.

The IP also works as an air fryer, separate lid you put on top that works fairly well and like you said is great for leftovers. I also have a toaster oven/air fryer on the counter but that’s more due to the fact that the shitty oven in my apt doesn’t heat evenly.

In 2018, assuming the side length is around 170cm this would be about 19.25 tons/m³ × 5m³ × $30000/ton = $2,887,500

Also this would mean that the studio floor is carrying ~100 tons on that spot the cube occupied, pretty strong.

I can smell planned obsolescence from here. Do they make a premium version?

Gold coins slide off a duck’s back or something like that.

Best I can do is $30

Sometimes I use my oven for one thing and my air fryer for another thing at the same time.

Just buy more of them, of course!

Don't even get me started on the Alexa skill for this thing.

Description says it support anything compatible with: Rhombus 1.0, Rhombus 2.0, OpenRhombus, Ikea Sküåir, K-Cube, and all KitchenAid Surfaces v.12 or greater. But no support for anything that requires a flat squared level surface.

What about stones?

Hmm.... something about it, that's uh-...

It would be the same weight? But bulkier?

In Texas, they just have two ovens stacked on top of each other.

What? No AI?!

Damn, they're gonna brick my block just like that?

You can save a lot of money by going to an auto auction and buying someone's impounded cube

too bad. Mandatory Internet connection to enable the ai enhancement features, and as a bonus uses built in Infrared sensors to upload your walking habits straight to Palantir. Updates are 2gb each because what the hell are patches or deltas. Uses 24w on idle for some reason. Includes agentic ai!

I have had a series of blenders that live on the countertop and are primarily used to make smoothies. My partner had an electric egg poacher, but we lost it in the move. It never got to live on the counter permanently, but I would use it about once a week.

Don’t brick my brick bro

So, how much does it cost?

In the era before cheap microwave ovens the electric egg steamer was my go-to dorm appliance!. I found a coffee can would fit in place of the cover. Then it could not only cook eggs, it could reheat Chef Boyardee and Dinty Moore stew cans.
