Your Kitchen Gadgets

Ooh Binley - your mention of the breadmaker being OH's domain - I forgot to add mine on my list but it was my late OH's fave machine: it is in the shed and he always was proud of his 'shed bread' - I am proud to report that I made my first set of shed bread last weekend ( lost instruction book and all!)

Media Bounty :: Competitions :: Competitions :: Win a signed Panasonic Breadmaker

For those of you who like to make your own bread, and those who would like to start. Seems like a decent bread maker for the lucky winner.

Why does everyone seem to find electric steamers so much hassle? I love mine and couldn't be without it

I think it's because I prefer to boil my tatties so do them on the hot plate and then may as well just put a steamer on top to do the greens rather than get a totally separate item out. Not used mine since a year last Christmas when I had a house full and ran out of hot plate space.

I have a stove top steamer, which is great for doing up to 3 different veggies, and sometimes I steam chicken or fish in it too.
Use it most days.
Wouldn't think an electric one would be any better than this.
Didn't consider it a gadget as it is basically a pan with 2 other pans with holes in the bottom.
Actually considering getting another one, as I could often do with an extra pot or two.
It also saves on the gas, as only one burner is in use instead of 3 (or 4, if I do get another).

Our fav at the moment is a kenwood mini chopper and our new bread maker !!

Forgot to mention my Mezzaluna. OH searched high and low to find one for me for Xmas a couple of years ago and then after Christmas for the next few months it seemed like every shop we went into was selling them.

He refuses to eat shop bought bread . We're on about our 4th breadmaker in about the same amount of years. !

A breadmaker every year! That's really bad, our Panasonic is used about 3 times per week and is now 3 years old with no signs of failing.

It gets used about every other day. Morphy Richards is the best one we've had and we're on the second one now!
