Kitchen Gadgets.

Thank You MissAdventure, I would really like to know if they are well worth the hype.

My sister just bought a secondhand remouska, cookie, as she didn't want to pay too much and not like it.
I'll ask her how she is getting on with it.

I make all our bread (at the moment) so my favourite gadget is a Kenwood robot with a dough hook. which simplifies the work, including less cleaning up.

anep Asda sell the butterfly can openers think about 50p..or roundabout that.

I have a Moulinex which grinds anything and quickly and have had it for years but it is still being manufactured.

Have any Gransnetters got something called a Remouska cooker.
I have seen these in a Lakeland catalogue and shop, and my goodness, they look, and indeed sound quite impressive!
They are an electric table top cooker that does everything from slow cooking to roasting a chicken and more. Evidently it is very cheap to run too. However, it is not cheap to buy. I feel sure that Lakeland would not endorse something that did not live up to the hype, but I would love to hear from someone who is using one and what they feel about it as I am tempted to buy one.

I have one of those Zyliss Easy Pull too, gardenoma, it is great. I bought it after reading about them on GN a while ago. I gather the Hairy Bikers use one on their programmes.

The little hand operated food processor somebody above mentioned is my second best gadget, no electricity or batteries just a tight cord and a couple of ridiculously sharp blades for when you dont want to get the big guns out. It even chops through my tough melon peels easily with a few pulls and they're good for the compost heap. In constant use just mind your fingers rinsing the blade part.

Phew, thank heavens for that GrannyGravy. I would hate to upset a light hearted thread. Are you fairly new to GN?

friendship first especially virtual friendships ???

Gravy/Flo. That’s the nicer side of GN. When people are pleasant to one another. ?

Auntieflo I meant to press the comical emoji, In no way did I intend to perplex you. That is what happens when I multi-task!!!

Cherrytree ??

Thing for gripping bottle tops of different sizes so you can lever them open.

This thread has just brought to mind my noctural browsing. According to Mumsnet
(I know the dark side) 'The Must Have' thing is a hand-held label printer.
It seems that virtually anything can be labeled from name tags to decorative labels on jars, herbs spices as well as files and craftingng paraphernalia.
Nothing can escape a frenzied label attack.

peruse Amazon

GrannyGravy, just seen your perplexed icon. Apologies, I wasn't inferring that you. are a devil, just that, if I borrowed your DH, he would soon get so fed up with me, and my foibles, that he would fly straight back home. ?

Mine's not really a gadget, but it's definitely the best thing in my kitchen..... a waste disposal unit

???

GrannyGravy, sorry to hear about your foot, here's hoping you mend soonest. Anyway, if I borrow him, he may just be fed up enough to come swiftly back to you. ( nothing like the devil you know, eh?)

Auntieflo you are welcome to him at the moment lol!!! I have 2 fractures (foot and ankle) 5 weeks in and only just getting mobile. I think we have driven each other barmy!!! In 35 years together we have never spent so much time in each other's company.

I have a palm peeler and it has taken my peeling to a whole new level

I have never tried ginger on mine, gardenoma - I will give it a go! I have just bought an electric mini chopper which is particularly good for onions, chillis - I hate chopping chillis - and for nuts and herbs. All sorts of things in fact.

GrannyGravy13, send him round here. My DH is lovely, but seems to believe that the essential kitchen fairy is alive and well, and living somewhere nearby, as she flits in and out when needed.

My Husband!!!!
