My favourite household item

[Pantryqueen]

My favourite household item. Is the blue Ikea bag. Laundry, toys, shopping etc.
Yes my life is that sad.

I love my Sheila Maid. I can dry bath towels and bedding inside on rainy days.

My heated throw, and my coffee machine.

Without doubt my hydrometer. It's a device you stand on which tells you how drunk you are and how long until you sober up

Mini Kitchen Aid.

I hadn't thought of using it for that! I use the handle of a fork (used to crush my cats tablet which I mix in it). I shall try later on

So many things! It's difficult to decide... but I also love my toaster tongs. And the very nice and good quality knives I got from IKEA on sale before they stopped selling them (and now only do crappy kitchen knives). I do love a good kitchen knife.

Not really a household item - but I really love our underfloor heating!

I have several of those metal sock clip thingies , like the Socktopus but rectangular , can fold in half and about 30 clips .

And some hangers that are hefty plastic , fold up / Opened they're a "T" shape and hold 12 coat hangers .
If it rains , much easier to bring everythin indoors .

Heated rail with seven rungs , bought from Aldi years ago .

Washing machine. The cat. Not necessarily in that order

Do they fit in the cupboard or a deep drawer?

The racks the same as the other poster I have on a shelf in the pantry. The plate thing is a shaped insert that sits in the bottom of a drawer deep enough to take dinner plates stored vertically. Each plate has a separate groove it slots into. I can't find it online now - there seems to be lots of alternatives though now. I got ours nearly ten years ago.

Absolutely my favourite too. Gets everything out of the pan on to the plate and so minimises the washing up. So simple, so perfect.

I can relate to so many of these.

Biggest revelation has been sebatier kitchen scissors. They are absolutely wonderful and have made cutting up pizza and meat a breeze.

Love a wonderful microplane style grater, also toast tongs a close second.

The one thing I absolutely couldn't be without any more is the washing machine. When I first moved here, I did without one for a very long time because there's a laundrette in the village. But I have osteoporosis in my back now and couldn't even carry the bags to and from the car. I will be incredibly sad when my machine dies, but it's been brilliant and owes me absolutely nothing. It's a great shame. you can't buy them the same anymore..

I have become disabled in the last couple of years and there are lots of little things I use now that I didn't before that I really couldn't do without. One is a chair I have in the kitchen, what I use for 1 million things other than sitting on🤣🤣. Another is a gadget I bought with my. Sage proper coffee machine., it's actually to take the insert out of the coffee filter for washing, but it's actually also brilliant to open cans and all sorts of bits and pieces🤣

I also have one kitchen knife that I would be completely lost without and would have to try to replace immediately if anything happened to it. It has always been a great knife, but it has become even more so since I became disabled because it's just a perfect size and weight and helps me cut up vegetables. I couldn't cut up with a smaller lighter knife.

I also love my Henry❤️ but with the osteoporosis in my back, I am finding the weight of him quite difficult and also the hose pipe arrangement. I think I need to look at getting an upright cordless Hoover.🙇🏻‍♀️

If you want a cordless? Henry Quick is excellent!
Excellent charging and with the pod system it picks up and I’m not constantly emptying the bagless system!

A gadget for opening ring pull cans. I've got arthritis in my thumbs and struggled so much before I bought it.

My omelette maker. I know omelettes are easy to make (in theory) but I could never get mine right and they'd always end up a mess when I tried to fold them.

This plugs in and can make one or two omelettes at a time and they come out beautifully. I also use it for pancakes.
