What kitchen gadgets do you have and do you use them or are they collecting dust at the back of a cupboard?
I have:
- A dehydrator, I used it for 'sun' dried tomatoes and drying parsley so far. Its use doesn't equate to the space it takes up.
- A deep fat fryer, which I don't really use because it's so hard to clean
- A George Foreman, I don't really use as a grill pan browns much nicer
- A mandolin, I used to use all the time until I got a Global kitchen knife, now I enjoy slicing with that
- A set of bar optics, apart from gin, vodka and rum, I also have blackcurrant, orange and lime juice on them. Far easier than pouring it all the time.
EDIT: And now I've remembered:
- The juicer, which I get out whenever I want a large number of lemons or limes juicing which does happen from time-to-time, but i rarely use the non-citrus juicing component.
- Pasta maker, it's just so much quicker to use dried pasta, but I have used it for my own raviolli a few times with great success.
EDIT2: And now I've remembered:
- Mini blender, good for making marinades, curry pastes and pestos. Use it quite a lot
- Stick blender, I used it on some soup that was too hot and melted the security guard around the blade so now it won't sit on the bottom of the pan properly!
- Apple corer and slicer, this is great when you're making apple crumbles etc.
- MY NEW DISHWASHER!
The only other gadget i can think of is a strip of rubber pipe that is used for de-skinning garlic cloves. It's actually pretty good and doesn't take up much space for how useful it is.
