The GelPro is meant to help the aching feet and legs of people who stand for long periods of time on hard floors — and it works wonders for the home cook
Welcome to Buy This Thing, a column dedicated to the kitchen products and home goods Eater writers and industry pros obsess over.
I’m the slowest prep cook in the world — and I mean that in the home-cooking sense, not the professional one, because I wouldn’t last a day in a real restaurant kitchen. I’ve taken a knife skills class or two; I own an excellent knifethat is a true joy to use; and I have decent dexterity from a lifetime as a musician.
My shoddy prep skills dovetail terribly with my tendency to attempt long, overly complicated recipes beyond my skillset. Thatwhere Jan hasn’t started a three-hour braise by the time guests arrive for a dinner party is a running joke in our household; when I start one of my dinner “projects,” we’re not eating until midnight. A recent project — khao soi made from scratch, complete with a mortar and pestle — took seven hours and ended with my sore feet throbbing with anger.
My husband and I put one on our wedding registry a couple years ago and didn’t receive it — unsurprising, as it’s not the most exciting gift. But inspired by the khao soi misadventure and a Black Friday sale, I finally got one myself this year.
The feel of it is so satisfying that I’ll often stand on it for a few minutes even when I’m not cooking. There’s nothing quite like ripping off winter boots and thick socks and feeling that gelunder my aching feet. That comfort has given me more focus and patience in the kitchen; maybe I’ll even start chopping faster.
