10/10 for functionality, it does exactly what it’s supposed to, and it does it well.
Highly recommended.

IKEA version takes up same amount o counterf space, but the core is made of cardboard, so lightweight!

Like… Maybe a 17cm side cube… I would cast it and just finished it on my old manual milling machine

This is why too convenient. You can still place stuff on top of it

Ah, but have you considered buying three?

Sam_Bass ,

I keep my kitchenaid on a rolling cart so it can be put out of the way when not needed. Makes for a much neater countertop

Assuming that the 80-pound (36.3 kg) stainless steel block is a solid cube, its side length would only be 16.6 cm (6.5 inches). (The density of the most common stainless steel (304) is 7930 kg/m^3.) Not nearly as big as the picture suggests. Still, it seems like it would be an awesome addition to my kitchen.

Considering the downward trend of quality in home appliances, it makes even more sense that it’s not even solid metal.

Well it does make more sense for it to be filled with something else, but then I wouldn’t want to buy it. One can dream…

dejected_warp_core ,

Maybe it’s filled with the same stuff as Happy Fun Ball?

Happy Fun Ball

That ball seems dangerous af

Nor stainless just a thin film

Evotech ,

Didn’t say that it’s solid

LouNeko ,

It’s a polymer shell filled with sand and stainless steel cover on 5 sides.

It’s just not solid metal. These things are overpriced pieces of shit. I know because I used to have one. Anytime there’s a “chip shortage” these things are always marked up to be 2x as expensive too.

I think in this day and age the best way to waste counter space is to use newspaper and dirty dishes like our great grandparents used to do.

The exact dimensions of an 80-pound stainless steel block would depend on its specific shape. However, we can estimate its size based on the density of stainless steel, which is around 490 lbs per cubic foot (lb/ft³). To find the volume of the block, we can divide its weight (80 lbs) by its density (490 lb/ft³):

Volume = Weight / Density. Volume = 80 lbs / 490 lb/ft³. Volume ≈ 0.16 cubic feet (ft³).

Since we don’t have a specific shape for the block, let’s assume it’s a cube for simplicity. To calculate the side length of a cube with a volume of 0.16 ft³, we can take the cube root of the volume:

Side length = ³√Volume.
Side length = ³√0.16 ft³.
Side length ≈ 0.54 ft (or about 6.5 inches).

Therefore, an 80-pound stainless steel block shaped like a cube would have sides measuring around 6.5 inches each.

I just assumed it was hollow

imPastaSyndrome , (edited )

Well fuck you.

Edit: Sorry. That makes sense, I just was thinking about that tiny heavy cube you can buy that’s like the densest cube of metal and I wanted to get the math done because it was ENTIRELY too big in the photo in my estimation, and why would it be hollow? To take up more space sure but it would dent and be so much harder to produce but I GUESS I get it. UGH

Didn’t feel like doing the math for a hollow one myself so I asked bing to do it for me assuming it was about 10 inches in diameter (that’s what I guessed from the photo because it looked to be approximately as wide as one burner(?) it’d be 72% hollow

meliaesc ,

Why are you not the only person who did the math? Also, it’s not solid.

Klear ,

What’s wrong with the math? Looks pretty solid to me.

Bytemeister ,

Modern appliances just aren’t as good. Check with Goodwill, or yard/estate sales. You can pick up a vintage kitchen cube that works just as well for pennies on the dollar, and it will outlast you.

ZeffSyde ,

I still have my great grandma’s cast iron kitchen cube that she brought over from the old country.

I can’t even describe what that thing can do with pork chops.

Aasikki ,

I prefer carbon steel cubes myself but cast iron is nice too.

SkunkWorkz ,

Because you are not accounting for inflation. A modern kitchen cube made in the same quality as a vintage cube would cost one cubic meter of pennies.
