How did we ever live without an automatic clothes washer, an
automobile.

Commercial kitchens have been using powered pot stirrers for many
years... they're useful for home use too depending on what one
cooks...most homes don't have stand mixers but many can't live
without. I wouldn't consider that battery powered pot stirrer, I'd
want AC powered, and a lot larger. This is much better:

I personally do not want batteries being heated above my pan.
