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!

Nespresso machine
Kenwood Chef
Panasonic breadmaker

Also love the apple peeler/spiraliser, waffle maker (breakfast every Sunday), hand held whisk & blender, electric tin opener and dishwasher :-)

I have a cheese slicer sciaticsucks I spent an hour in my parent's dusty attic to look for it in my stuff that is stored there on a visit home a few years ago because it is so useful, wouldn't want to be without one.

I also have quail egg scissors which must be the most middle class kitchen gadget ever. I my defense, we have our own quails and during laying season I make everything with quail eggs which are a bugger to break without getting shell everywhere. I couldn't be without my quail egg scissors.

Boiled egg cooker.
Slow cooker in two sizes.
Halogen oven.

Proper sharp knives - my knife block was more than my kitchenaid but worth its weight in gold as everything is quicker, easier and better shaped

The pet gates to keep the dogs out - otherwise they get under my feet and/or beg and get fed for everything

My guitar shaped spatula from Lakeland - it's rubber and slightly flexible at the end so great for scraping around my pans without damaging them

Oh and if I'm allowed a 4th - decent pan set that can go in the oven after being on the hob.

note that the aforementioned kitchenaid doesn't make the list, despite being very pretty and flashy and used a few times per week

Quooker [boiling water tap]
induction hob
set of sharp knives

Kitchenaid mixer.

2. Kenwood Prospero (though I'd love a chef).
3. Nutribullet.

Kenwood chef (never seen a Thermomix in real life, so can't compare)

Bakers mitt oven gloves

tefal slicing and grating machine (for cheese - we do loads at a time)

I was just going to ask about the Jeremy Paxman whisk Does it ask you searching questions while you make your mayonnaise?

i'll do an opposite here. 3 things i wish i had in my kitchen:
scissors: so many bloody pairs of scissors in the house, yet none are in the kitchen when i need them
dishwasher: not having a dishwasher in current kitchen physically hurts after having one in a previous house.
space: galley kitchen added to a tiny 2up2down house. not enough room to swing a mouse

Tefal Saucier - it must be over 20 years old, and its brilliant for making sauces
pestle and mortar
grater
