Subject: RE: BS: 'Catter's Kitchen-Cooking Tips & Safety
The GFCI plugs are next to the sink, where most of our cooking activity takes place.

The appliance that I liked but the movers broke a couple of years ago was my food processor. The safety latch on the lid that had to push into the motor housing in order to turn it on was broken off when they dropped the box. I wasn't able to order another lid, but finally figured out that I could shove a narrow piece of bamboo into the same slot and operate the processor. I don't think this is TOO unsafe, because you can't walk away from it and leave it running, you have to stand with it for it to run. This probably comes under the heading of necessity (and no replacement budget) being the mother of invention.
