	my mum and dad bought an electric carving knife (which they do use every Christmas) however, they used the free electric tin opener which they got free with it far more often lol

Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 4,621 Send Message	LOL Katherine, I was going to put oven too. But seriously, there really is not much need for a big oven these days, as people do not cook like they used do. I think just a hob and a combination microwave will be enough in years to come. I also do not cook roasts like I used to, its usually just chops now for OH and myself. Tina x

	Kitchen equipment which is not used, but which is taking up space in the kitchen because hubby insists he needs them!!! Sandwich toaster. Bamboo steamer. Chocolate fountain. Pasta maker. Ice cream maker. Meat mincer. Asparagus steamer. Salad spinner. About 10 saucepans, plus a set of Le Creuset pans. 4 of the frying pans. 4 sets of salt & pepper shakers. 3 hand blenders. Garlic press. Truffle slicer. Lemon zester. Olive stoner. Several assorted sized: whisks, wooden spoons, slices, skillets, ladles, rolling pins, paella pans, tart pans, flan tins, olive stoners, peelers and goodness-knows-whatters. Several complete sets of chefs knives. That'll do for starters. LOL K P.S. Rosalyn, I thought about offering to buy your Forman grill from you, as hubby is after one, but on second thoughts - we just ain't got the room!!!!!!!

	Helen I know isn't it dreadful. They were all the best thing since sliced bread when we first got them.OR is that just the hype from the adverts? lol Lost count of the different vacuum cleaners because of bad back! gone back to using Old Oreck that was in the loft as it's the lightest and has long handle. Think it's because the kids have now left home we don't use them all so much isn't it?
