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

	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.

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!

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)........ http://www.goldenspurtle.com/ :-D

	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 :-(
