I bought an onion chopper from Lidls last week and it is brill....it was cheap so I was dubious...but I cry something terrible when cutting onions so I thought I'd give it a go and it works a treat.
I also bought a lettuce keeper (like a domed tupperware thing) and that was a brilliant buy too...keeps your lettuce crispy a lot longer.

We get a Cleanezee catalogue through the door which is rammed full of kitchen gadgets and I usually steer clear of it as they all look a bit cheap or unecessary but I'm actually impressed with my recent purchases in the kitchen gadget department!!
Anyone got any other gadgets which actually work and were fairly cheap to buy????

I am loving my Pampered Chef 1litre batter bowl with lid. It's basically a chunky measuring jug but just the right size for a round of cakes and with the handle my 3yr old can hold and stir safely. Haven't tried yet but apparently you can bake summer pudding in it too. Think it was about £11 but free if you host a Pampered chef party.

ooohhhh never even heard of one of those...what is a pampered chef party???

Lady comes to your party and makes delicious food which your guests get to try. They then order lots of gadgets and you get loads of free / discounted gadgets yourself. Do it quick in time for Xmas then all your shopping is done!

I don't know if it is a proper 'gadget' as such, but the best £5 I spent was getting an uber-cheapo food mixer from Argos...you know one of those hand mixer thingies with the two little whisks that you stick in. Sooooo much quicker than doing it by hand... great for making cakes and yorkshire pud batter and then you just have to clean the whisk bits afterwards.

I also love my cheap plastic microwave rice cooker. Perfect rice ever single time.

I think I am getting sad in my old age...

ludaloudbang · 01/11/2006 12:40

LOL, they don't have to be interested, they order because they feel they have to . Honestly, you just invite everyone you know - playground mums, work colleagues, neighbours and if 12 turn up you've got Xmas sewn up, if only 6 you still get lots of free stuff for yourself.

BettySpaghetti · 01/11/2006 18:20

LOL Furball ! I guess I'm just a lazy cook! Its just such a faff mashing them with a masher.

ludaloudbang -the bit of the ricer that you put the boiled pots in is about the size of a mug -HTH
