To ask you to name top three really useful kitchen gadgets?

[Wordsaremything]

Mine are:

Potato ricer - makes fab lump free mash so creamy you may not need to add milk

Hand held blender diver chopper thing with enclosed bowl

Those red plastic lidded Pyrex dishes on offer from tesco's a while back with tokens .

Over to you!

Actually I did once have a very useful kitchen gadget but I don't know what it was called.

It was black and looked like a huge old fashioned orange squeezer only it had blades in and a white container full of other blades and a sausage maker a potato ricer and peeler, it suctioned to the kitchen side I brought it about 15-20 years ago from a fairly obscure shopping channel.

It was brilliant but I accidently threw it away one day

£20 note

Hand blender, makes sauces/curry sauce really easy with this.

Cheese slicer so easy for cheese toasties or sandwiches.

Slow cooker in winter, I love coming home to a ready cooked meal.

Microwave
Double ended potato peeler/vegetable knife
Stick blender

Can I put in a special mention for my newest gadget, the Samsung Smart Oven? It really is smart once you've read the instructions about 3 times.
Perfect roast chicken in 34 minutes antbody?

Needs La presse?

Battery operated tin opener
George foreman grill
Gaggia gran prestige

Bean to cup coffee machine(V expensive gift for 30 years service)
Meat thermometer
Steamer.

I don't do the cooking, but from where I'm sitting on my arse it looks like:

very good knife
Japanese mandoline
potato ricer

Brita Maxtra water filter jug

At least one quality multi purpose sharp knife

A kettle. Indispensable

George Foreskin Grill. Use it 4-5 times a week.
Silicone tongs.
Jug that separates fat from meat juices to make healthier gravy.

Jar key (but don't get a transparent one like mine, which disappears in the drawer full of rarely used other things)

Slow cooker

Collapsible mixing bowl - fab space saver.

Minichopper.
Rice cooker.
Little doodah from Lakeland that neatly removes the stalks from strawberries. (Okay maybe not totally essential on life. But very pleasingly handy nonetheless.)

Dying at the George Foreskin Grill

Does anyone else find their cakes burn with silicone cake tins?

Foreskin

Garlic pressed (mine doesn't waste any), rotary grater saves loads of time, good knife and electric tin opener.

Never use a foreskin grill and can't see the menfolk liking that idea

stratters I have the opposite problem. Cakes in silicon come out a soggy mess. Dunno what I'm doing wrong.

A fridge!

FFS, what is wrong with you, people!

Stick blender and mini processor from Aldi, fancy grater, 30 year old wok.

Taps
Bin
Mop

Somewhat agog at all the essential rice cookers. Cooking rice is a piece of piss, isn't it?
wouldn't give one shelf space

But a mini-chopper, stick blender and a good knife, well, now you're talking. And I speak as someone who owns most of the Lakeland catalogue.

Thought the thread was about gadgets, fatmomma -' does a fridge really fit into that category?

Slow cooker
Wok
That's about it!

Of course a fridge is a gadget, Siobahan. What else would you describe it as? A sofa????
