Even the not-so-glamorous jobs are important when it comes to preparing meals but let’s face it; nobody likes stirring. There’s no creative input, no real way to shake things up, and the excitement factor hovers somewhere near watching paint dry. Now, this lowly but important kitchen task can be foisted over onto something that doesn’t mind doing the grunt work.

One of these days, technology will take over the world and force us to bow down to our robot overlords, but in the meantime, the Stirio Automatic Pot Stirrer can become your own personal sous chef… although a sous chef that doesn’t know how to do anything except stir food.

Designed with an adjustable axle and arms to fit a variety of pots, Stirio’s rechargeable batteries pack enough juice to stir a large pot of food for up to 45 minutes and cleaning this new kitchen helper is a breeze because everything except for the motor can be slipped right into the dishwasher.

You can turn the stirring duties over to an assistant that won’t whine about the dull job for €49.90/$68.69.
