Have ordered a yoghurt maker, since we go through vats of the stuff. But I keep hearing about all the other fab products they do -- what are your top tips?

Bags for roasting chicken inside so that it doesn't splat the cooker.
Oven mate for when you forget the bags!
Children's cups with integrated straws in them (big hit in our house)
E cloths
Segregated utensil holder -- used to infuriate me wrestling the whisk free from the other 20 utensils, now they are all lovely and untangled!

There are bound to be more, but thats what I bought last week in HArrogate

roasting bags
the everlasting cake tin liners thus
cool bags for school packed lunches

I always end up getting stuff for dh's christmas stocking - this year a Microplane grater...

Those green bags that keep food fresh for ages in the fridge - you'll never have yellowing broccoli again. Or brown slimy lettuce. Or rotten carrots festering at the bottom of the salad tray. And you can keep washing them and resusing them I've found. Get the big ones.

I covet this roasting dish...

Yes - agree about the microfibre cloths - they're fab. I've just put in an order - mostly gadgets to help my mum, who has arthritis, but also some bits for me, including an apple corer and slicer (lazy, moi?), some waterproof pouches that DH can take with him when he goes diving (not when he's actually diving you understand - just on the boat), and a couple of sandwich coolers for picnics.

proper ziplock bags. Ecloths.
those net umbrella thingys for keeping flies off food. really good garlic press.

I was wondering about getting yogurt maker as DH has suddenly realised its really good and healthy and is getting through about 3 small pots of 0%fat Total greek yog a day ...
does anyone know if home yog makers can produce anything like Greek or is it the runny stuff I remember people making when I was a kid?

JackieNo · 28/08/2007 21:26

Emsmum - there's a Greek mix thingy.

frogs · 28/08/2007 21:35

Excellent, thank you, guys! I knew there would be lots of ideas. Anyone used the yoghurt maker, or have anything else they'd like to recommend?

Thanks JackieNo!

Microfibre cloths.
Lock and Lock containers.
Oven liner on a roll - the gunk just slides off.
Ovenmate for cleaning the oven shelves etc.
Cheese knife.
Tomato knife.

Oooh...must've a look at the catalogue now....!

Hi, we use the yoghurt maker all the time as we eat tons of the stuff. We just have the organic bio mix and is lovely and creamy - think the Greek one would be even more so! Recommend highly.
