Portable cooking devices

I can be a pretty chillax guy, but I get irritated easy by kitchen negligence. I'd rather have to walk to 15 miles to work, than battle my way through a couple dirty dishes, or deal with food caked on the stove.

At the Hou$e of Cred there are a number of "convenience" appliances that fall under this category of nuisance. They are "specialty" cooking machines, including but not limited to: The George Foreman Grill & The Quesadilla Maker. We were LUCKY (unfortunate) enough to receive these items as a BOGO (buy-one get-one) set when we first moved in, and they quickly have become the favorite for preparing veggie burger, fake-chicken filets, re-heated Taco Bell burritos, and any other concoction people can think of that wont need a pan.

The irritating part about these appliances is storage. They must be brought-out, plugged-in and heated to scorching temperatures to cook their prey. Once 6 patties have been fully seared, the food gets assembled and the appliance stays on the counter. FOR DAYZ. It boils the blood. The visual clutter is enough to drive me insane.

I passively rant about it whenever I see them, but no one makes a step to change. The mear fact that it can't be immediately put away (due to its severe heat) means its destined to be forgotten and left forever.

So, He-who-two-shits, JakeZonDay, and Casers. PLEASE, for the love of god, put that shit away.
