What's your favourite kitchen gadget?
I've just been looking at waffle irons, not that I ever really eat waffles but because I fancied one right now, I thought, they must be no more than £20, why not buy a machine? I have resisted for now because I've just remembered we need a new food processor, so I'll buy one of those instead (any recommendations are very much welcome).
I have a candy floss maker, which is quite cool, but it only makes small amounts of cotton. I love my sandwich toaster too, natch'.
One of my favourites I've ever heard of, comes from the mother-(not)-in-law, who is an avid collector of kitchen gadgets, the microwavable spoon! So simple, yet so brilliant. Is it necessary? No. Will it break your microwave if you leave it in there by mistake? No. Do you often leave spoons in the microwave? No. But still, science at its peak, people!
I wanted to buy an ice cream maker, but I didn't realise you had to take the bowl out and put it in the freezer. For a self-freezing machine you're looking at a few hundred quid. Bugger that.
I love my bread maker, but it's quite small and anything bigger is quite expensive.
When I ate meat, my favourite appliance was my rotisserie. It made the best chicken, ever. Ever. Ever. Aaahhhh, how I drool thinking about it even now.
I also liked the George Foreman too, even though it made food quite dry, it was fool proof also. Stick a burger in and 10 or so mins later, get it out. No stading over a pan. Lovely, lazy cooking. If I were a fat bastard, I would have put (I didn't do this) something under the front feet so the fat didn't drain away.
Anyway, any recommendations for cool gadgets?
