Can't believe I'd posting this thread, but whilst whipping up a batch of fairy cakes it occured to me that the bero cook book is indispensible to me and well worth the £1.99 it cost.

My fridge. Chills my wine nicely.

Our latest addition to the kitchen is a Tassimo machine that DH got when he left his job.
We use it loads - really handy for a quick cuppa first thing in the morning.

food processor. Use it almost every day. And toaster of course!

I'm getting rid of my food processor after buying a hand blender with mini chopper; far better

my best kitchen things are those flexi jobbies you can use like chopping boards

electric hand whisk - sooo much easier than doing it by hand and you can bung the whisks into the dishwasher!

Coolmama · 09/11/2006 15:48

one of those metal "soapbars" that remove garlicky etc smells from your hands! - love mine!
