@Alric
I’ve found that a good imagination, a decent Arcana check and a DM willing to say “yes” have resulted in many interesting uses of Mage Hand. Using it in the kitchen seemed like a natural fit.

@Dave
Why stop with Mage Hand indeed. I think your suggestions are fantastic. If I was your DM I’d certainly allow them. I always encourage my players to be creative during skill challenges. If they can come up with a creative way to use a “combat” power in a skill challenge I’m always willing to let them try.

I like it!
But why stop at Mage Hand? If you’ve got a Wizard who knows scorching burst, let him use Arcana to “flash fry” something. Does the Rogue know Sly Flourish? Perhaps a Thievery or Dexterity check could could allow her to toss something in the air and slice it us before it lands in the bowl. A fighter could use Crack the Shell to break eggs like no one has ever seen (an Athletics check, perhaps, or a free success for spending a Daily power).

The best part is using mage hand to mix the batter. That motion kills your wrists. Very creative post. .-= Alric´s last blog ..100 Motives for the commoner on the street =-.
