I also love Lakeland.......Got their new mag through the post yesterday and they are advertising a fryer thing....expensive but if you like home made chips it could be great cos it only uses a scoop of oil! Its called Tefal Actifry!!

These seem quite a good idea, however, I have no more cupboard space for any more gadgets.

Hello

My good fashioned Kenwood Chef a901 with attachments, Excellent bit of kit just made some sausages with it yesterday.

Cheers

This is my current favourite gadget ... I've turned into the Queen of Tartlets!

Not a gadget but I've just received my Lakeland catalogue and spotted the pan set a friend bought me as a housewarming present. He got me the whole lot! I didn't realise it was so expensive . It's kind of too late to say thankyou again!

Thinking about it, as well as the V Slicer thing, there are two others that I favour.

My RiceBoy, which makes cooking rice and vegetable far too easy. Especially the rice.

And I recently got a Bodum Assam Teapress. I was considering getting a normal tea pot and a strainer so that I could use loose leaves, but the teapress works like a cafetiere and means that I only need one item.

I couldn't live without my slow cooker or my food processor now. Oh and my mandoline.

My rice cooker is probably number one - makes perfect rice each and every time I use it. Which is great because I really like rice

The most used gadget is the microwave - we are forever nuking stuff (we make baby food, freeze it and defrost in the microwave whenever needed).

Number two gadget is probably the Breville liquidiser - a classique (BL1), if you're a liquidiser aficionado. We make quite the most delicious smoothies in it

Couldn't this section of DS use a lips-licking emoticon?

Nigella's half moon herb chopper. Love it

Can you recommend the vacuum sealer you have as all the one's we have looked at have all been to big.

Many thanks

The one I have is this

Brill and wouldn't be without it

I would not be without my Senseo coffee maker Had it over two years and use it at least three times a day.

I recently bought one of the little plastic microwave bowls complete with lid and handle from Lakeland. (It looks like a minature see thru saucepan with a lid).

I wish I'd found it sooner!

No more balancing a plate over a bowl to stop things splattering the roof of the microwave and no more burning my fingers trying to manoevre the thing out.

You can save about £50 if you buy one from Coscto. Personally, I don't eat a lot of fried foods and I don't have room for another big gadget like that.

My newest gadgets:
Tefal Quick Cup

and my Dualit Vario Toaster.



I also couldn't live without my slow cooker and hand held chopper/blenders.

Definitely my steamer and my Kenwood smoothie maker, I use them practically every day.

My knife primarily. Then my slow cooker

The dishwasher of course!!

My potato peeler what would I do without it

Steamer - What did I do before? and the veg tastes so much nicer

I love kitchen gadgets, at the moment my favourites are: the George Foreman - great for sons to make themselves burgers, bacon butties etc.

Pressure cooker, 45 minutes after getting in from work you can have a great stew or soup on the table - great in the cold winter weather.

Steamer, everything cooked on one ring of the hob.

Tassimo, great for hot chocolate and even sons can make a decent cuppa with it.

My portable TV - means I can sit in the kitchen and watch all my soaps in peace while OH hogs the remote in the other room
