£250 for kitchen item

[purplejungle]

My dh has randomly been given £250 from his company which must be spent on a kitchen item (v random I know...)

Any ideas for what to buy? Any gadgets you can't live without?

Thanks!

Coffee maker?
Really good set of knives
Food processor

Presumably there is a back-story to this!

Does it have to be a single item?

Stand maker (kitchen aid or Kenwood).
New place settings & serving dishes.
Breadmaker, I understand Panasonic is one of the best.
Cordless vacuum (it could live in the kitchen/utility).
Extra freezer for garage.

A good mixer? I've got a Kenwood chef that is really useful. KitchenAids always seem quite converted too.

Kitchen item or a specific shop?

Pressure cooker - Instant pot electric or Kuhn Rikon stove top

Bamix stick blender, with Slicesy attachment if you fancy it.

Vitamix, though you will have to top up your budget for one of these

Magimix food processor.

Thanks all. Can be from any shop as far as I know but I think has to be a single item.

What about one of those hot water tap things that comes out boiling straight away? Or are they really a lot more expensive??

We bought a nice coffee machine. Bean to cup.

Set of global knives.
Very nice coffee machine.
Decent mixer.

Magimix for me too, I love mine, use it loads.

A pastel pink le creuset casserole dish.

Or a nice set of cutlery.

Find something random, buy it, take picture in kitchen, return, use money on something you actually want!

What type of cooking do you enjoy and what would lift your life most ?

Set of le creuset pans? Posh stand mixer. I've just bought a le creuset tns (non stick) frying pan, which I love and was insanely expensive. (But not £250).

Why so specific about what you buy?

@DorotheaDiamond haha we like this idea!

@Hurtandupset2 not sure really, some of the employees in another company all got a coffee machine, don't know why they've done it this way for those in the U.K.

These are really helpful ideas - thanks all!
