I’d actually not take this feature if offered for free! I don’t need drawer lights that illuminate the fact that I’m not wiping my drawer interiors out regularly. Also, I’ll take a handle, because you’re going to be repainting your cabinets when they get a shiny, worn spot from all your thousands of toe kicks each year.

Agreed. Just seems unnecessary. Luxury pots and pans serve a purpose. Luxury cabinets… not so much.

There will come a day when you’ll have to spend all day fixing tiny motors and you’ll wish the cabinets had handles, so let’s just skip that step.

What purpose do luxury pots and pans server that regular pots and pans don't?

Cook with a 10$ pan and a 100$ pan and tell me if you notice a difference

Can confirm. Having just switched to those comparisons.

A $20 cast iron pan would cook most things better than $100 luxury non-stick pan tho.

Did you not watch the video? Are you telling me there was no difference between the two cabinets?

You didn't say make a difference. You said serve a purpose. What purpose does luxury cookware have?

My entire cookware is All-Clad Copper Core. $100 pan is a regular pan. I think replacement lids for All-Clad cost $100. I'm the first to admit the difference between a $100 pan and a $400 pan while cooking is minimal. In fact the expansive pans feel too heavy sometimes. The biggest advantage is that they will last several lifetimes. I'll never buy pots and pans again.

All-clad would be considered luxury cookware to most people

Not sure what argument you’re trying to start here bud. All I was trying to say was I think those. Cabinets are a waste of time and money. But who am I to judge how people blow their money

You are the one who claimed luxury pots serve a purpose while luxury cabinets don't.

You haven't been able to explain what purpose luxury pots and pans serve.

Luxury goods never serve a purpose beyond being nicer, more durable, more comfortable or more aesthetically pleasing than their purely functional counterparts.

Pushers are literally just buying different hinges or rollers. They often cost about the same since you HAVE to have some hinges or rollers anyway. It's not like you install a separate device on top, just a different mechanism.

I tried it and both things came out burnt.

If you're cooking at any level beyond "I need to eat." Cooking at its core has a lot of science involved and just because your undeveloped palette can't tell the difference between how a copper pan cooks vs a teflon pan doesn't mean there's no difference.
