I totally get what you mean astrid, and especially because I thought exactly the same as you.

As you know I love playing so for me it's totally awesome fun. And I do a lot of "chefy" things. I love that aspect. Day to day use is awesome but a lot of people don't use it for the chef stuff because they don't have the basic understanding, or the drive to do that kind of stuff. So whilst it's a tool in the kitchen some use it as complimentary and some use it to do everything. I think I personally fall into both categories. But I'm a bit of a food nerd so I care more about what temperature it can cook to (i.e. it holds specific levels of temps to allow for sous vide, tempering chocolate, cheese making etc). Than just "Oh wow it mixes and cooks!".
