My Kitchenaid. Best birthday present ever

I have a lemon zester but want a finer one.

My popcorn maker is quite cool too

The medium-sized sharp knife three in from the left on the magnetic thing.
Renders everything else redundant.

My Kenwood Chef.

GoldenSnitch · 07/05/2010 20:47

I had no idea what you were talking about ThreeBlondeBoys, so I checked Winners Corner!!

ByTheSea · 07/05/2010 20:49

My Pampered Chef Food Chopper. It's brilliant.

sungirltan · 07/05/2010 20:55

my steamer

but also the wanky corkscrew which i was given as a bribe by my horrid flat mate which dh nearly wet himself with excitement about when i moved in and produced it!

bibbitybobbityhat · 07/05/2010 21:08

My Habitat salad spinner. Have had it 25 years and use it constantly and its still going strong.

GypsyMoth · 07/05/2010 21:09

ooops....did i spoil a surprise?? just assumed you would have got an email!!

mum2oneloudbaby · 07/05/2010 21:14

expatinscotland which food processor have you got, i blew mine up last week and need a replacement having looked around i am now completely and utterly unable to make a decision.

GoldenSnitch · 07/05/2010 21:14

It's OK Apparently the e-mails are going out on Monday as they have election related exhaustion.

Poledra · 07/05/2010 21:23

Does anyone have a garlic press they love? I use mine all the time and always have to clean the fecker out with the point of a sharp knife. Not good for either the knife or my hands........

GoldenSnitch · 07/05/2010 21:32

I buy the prechopped lazy garlic. Saves an awful lot of hassle

expatinscotland · 07/05/2010 22:02

Me, too, Golden!

I go to Costco and buy a great vat of the stuff. It's fab.

marriednotdead · 07/05/2010 22:34

It's a toss up between my pot strainer (half moon thingy with handle) and my Ikea stainless steel garlic press (which I'd highly recommend Poledra). Oh, and the Sainsburys cheap horseshoe peeler, so sharp I wear rubber gloves to save my fingertips!

NorbertDentressangle · 07/05/2010 22:38

Coffee machine.

I really miss it when we're away and even toyed with the idea of taking it with us when we were away for a self-catering weekend in Cornwall recently, just so that I could get a decent coffee every morning

Choccyfan · 07/05/2010 22:45

Poledra, I have a garlic twist to mince my garlic - I also use it for chilli - it's brilliant!

HamShine · 07/05/2010 22:47

Ooh - not sure. Love microplane grater, and kenwood chef, and lovely knives.
