Jason Poel Smith demonstrates four ways to use a power drill for everyday kitchen tasks, by attaching a cheese grater, whisk, scrubbing sponge, and my favorite, a pepper mill. I get a kick out of imagining the waiter at a fancy restaurant, power drill in each hand, speedily delivering freshly ground pepper and grated cheese to restaurant patrons.

Some guy at our hackerspace has been doing stuff like that for a while. We made him a soup gorup after a while: http://abrockdrillingatthings.soup.io/ He once made an adapter for a meat grinder to be used with an electric drill.

Surely any establishment fancy enough to offer both fresh ground pepper AND grated cheese would opt for a quick-change attachment and a single drill motor!

This with nary a nod to Alton Brown? (e.g. http://www.instructables.com/id/Automatic-Pepper-Grinder/ “My inspiration for this instructable came from the show “Good Eats” with Alton Brown.”)

In college I had a friend with a hand-turned coffee grinder. Well, you can imagine what we did to it

I’ve always wanted a bandsaw in the kitchen. Imaging how easy it would be to slice a loaf of bread or a frozen pizza!

Spade bits at low speed are great for hollowing out vegetables. I’ve used them to make carrot-based musical instruments, but you could also make, say, a tuna-stuffed baked carrot or something equally delicious.
