I suppose some people THINK that's the case.  At any rate, learning how to do 
all the kitchen (and every other) task with just your hands and a knife 
builds skills, patience, poise, and understanding the things you are working 
with.  
I guess it boils down to this:  the difference between collecting a hoard of 
gadgets and developing skills with simple tools is the differnce between 
having more and being more.

We've always opted for the latter.   </HTML>
