Oooh island, maybe it disappeared into its own hole?


:-D

Shell shaped sporran with pop out legs? I think my cousin Hamish has one of them. :-)

A freebie we have is a

Magic Spiral. Creates Continuous Spiral Garnishings

Apart from a quick play with a cucumber (now, now!) its stayed in its box.

Nah, I think a spurtle is a shell shaped sporran with pop out legs. :-D

I had a wooden spoon which had a hole in it. It was great for stirring sauces. It disappeared :-(

A spurtle is a stick for stirring porridge!

Very Scottish. I have two, one of them has a thistle on the top.

It's not a spoon or a fork, just a rounded stick.

It's also good for sauces & gravy :-D

An Englishman won the Golden Spurtle last year (best porridge maker)........

Thanks to the internet I now know what is a spurtle & a sous vide - never heard of them before. Somebody mentioned a cake tested - I bought one recently It i the only thig long enough and thin enough to test a cake without letting in to much air

A Spurtle?
You mean one of them things like a spork pie with legs??
I have 2 flat wooden stirring sticks tho, if that counts.

After he reviewed and raved about its qualities, I recently bought my son a sous vide. He loves steaks and says this prepares them to absolute perfection.

I ate (my first) one on Easter Sunday prepared this way and I have to say it truly was delicious.

It ain't cheap, however!

How many of you have a spurtle?

:-D :-D :-D

I stupidly bought a set knives from seeing a TV advert.

Hate them!!!

We did use some of them as we all took them to work to cut up fruit etc and I left some of them in the dining area in the drawer.

I have 2 'good kitchen knives' ..which I can use for almost anything.

When did you last see an ad for a kitchen gadget.........

That came with a set of six steak knives?

:-D

best thing I ever bought was my halogen oven. Have given up buying gadgets now. Older and wiser what I spend money on.

my butler is inspector gadget lol
if they bring summit stupid out
some gadget that you knows not good
he still buys it just to try it
i leave it in the kitchen for a day
then store it in my second kitchen

till it rusts then it goes in the garage or the bin ;-) ;-)

Sharron, K-Tel was the name of the kitchen tat company.


Totally agree with the uselessness of the Garlic Press! most of it gets stuck so you have to use a knife anywat to scrape it out.

I'm with you $andie :-D

I hate ironing

I remembered........ in one of my kitchen drawers there are TWO plastic thingies for separating eggs, I've never used them (so why do I keep them?).

I tried that method with the plastic bottle, and I broke the yolk :-(

Is there a remote or voice control iron been invented ?

Mr Tyson (as I call him... cos his one vacuum cleaner knocks me out when I use it ) might come up with something.

I've just brought a Robostir, a battery operated gadget that you stand in a saucepan, and it stirs, good for sauces and suchlike, saves you standing there doing it, rubbish for stirring porridge, which I bought it for. really good conversation piece though :-D

Do you remember that company that used to make gadgets in the seventies?

There was one that would beat an egg inside it's shell and another that ,when you wound the handle, would make a cucumber into a long ribbon for all those occasions when you needed a cucumber in a long ribbon.

I will have to ask the butler

Touche Merlin ;-),

I must eat my words this morning... Came home from walking the dog and OH had emptied the dishwasher, only three items left on the bench 'homeless' :-(..

kitchen gadgets? whats a kitchen? :-S lol, i have no gadgets for it as i dnt go int here often :-D :-D
