stuff in my kitchen that might be called “electronic”
wall clock (battery powered)
vacuum cleaner (most are larger than a beagle, although my kitchen one isn’t. nor do they have screens.)
microwave oven (no)
range (larger than a beagle)
lights (no screen, no sound)
toaster (no screen, no sound)
mixer (no screen)
instant pot – hey is is an instant pot?

if not…
since “certain types are in the kitchen” doesn’t really sound like an instant pot.

fancy powered wireless cooking thermometer – too specialized a device for this game
dishwasher - too large, typically in the kitchen
garbage disposal – no screen, never tells time, always in the kitchen
bread maker – like an instant pot, I would have assumed they all live in the kitchen, but I guess it fits.
fridge – too large, no screen
Oh, there’s an old radio over the fridge. Hmm, that could be it. Of course, lots of radios are battery-powered.
and various other electronics, like laptop make a showing, but have been ruled out.

That’s it for my kitchen

I guess lots of kitchens have TVs, but most TVs are larger than a beagle.

Yeah, we’re running out of questions and need to be careful. It can’t be an instant pot.

why not?

How many instant pots are not found in the kitchen?

How many are not made of metal?

How many are not used with water?

We can’t waste any more questions on impossibilities.

Similarly with microwaves… the majority DO tell time, so it really couldn’t have been a microwave.

I’m now thinking it’s something I don’t own, and won’t think of. There are reasonable objections to every item that uses power in my kitchen.

Not official: It could be a coffee maker, but those are almost always found in the kitchen. But some tell time and many do not.

The “certain types” are found in the kitchen makes it sound like a lot are found outside the kitchen though.
