Even since the '90s a lot has changed. Innovations in MEMS have allowed for much smarter rice cookers and the creation of the sous vide cooker, along with small air fryers with cheap, precise temperature control. Powerful DC motors have allowed us to have hand blenders, spice grinders, and food processors that take up little counter space but do their work admirably. The only reason I have enough time to cook as much as I do from scratch is because so many of my appliances are precise set-and-forget. My mom cooks a lot as well and I watched how advances in appliances changed the amount and precision with which she could cook.
