Great gadget for those stubborn jars!, 2008-03-08
I have had this jar opener since Christmas and am very pleased with it. We tested this on a jar that none of my family could open by hand and it did the trick. I also have a boa constrictor-type jar opener which I use too, but I have found this gadget is much better for sealed jars. Highly recommended for those with restricted grip.

Imperia Italian Double Cutter Pasta Machine SP150

Pasta making made easy, 2008-08-24
I bought this pasta machine at the recommendation of other reviews. Although I have never used another machine I have been warned off them due to them being flimsy and breaking easily. This machine is very sturdy and I would say to anyone looking to buy one - get this one. Friends have gone through cheap machine after machine and spent lots of money finding one that is up to the job. This one is built to last. It is double the price of the cheapest but it is worth every penny.

Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker

Use a pestle & mortar, 2008-06-26
My girlfriend got me this for Xmas 2006. It works OK, but is a pain to clean and/or get all the bits out to actually use them. This is especially true if you are mixing up your crushed herbs with, say, olive oil. Consequently, I have used it only a handful of times and always revert to my good old-fashioned pestle & mortar. I have always been quite a fan of Jamie Oliver, but The Flavour Shaker strikes me as a cheap commercial gimmick.

Zyliss MultiPeeler, Electronic Peeler, Grey

Very Handy to have., 2008-11-16
I like useful gadgets in the home and decided to purchase what looked like an unique item. Generally I've never been satisfied with Vegetable peeler's until some months back, I found one with a sturdy thick handle and good blade. So I now have two.

This model takes 4 AA sized batteries and it't both pretty powerful and feels nice and chunky in the hand. The plastic blade cover is pretty useless and easily falls off. Poor retaining clip - actually zilch clip.

To give it a fair trial; I got two young female friends as well as myself to test both peeler's on Potatoes; Tomatoes and Apples.

They both liked the Electronic model but felt (as I did) that it had a distinct preference for working at it's own pace whereas you could control the pace of the conventional hand peeler. I don't feel that this is a criticism but rather an example of how fast people like any peeler to work. So for speed the conventional won pretty easily. However for delicate peeling - such as the tomatoes, the electronic one was better as the vibrating blade bit easily into the fruit whereas you "pushed" into the fruit with the other one.

So who would use it?

Well in a nutshell, anybody with poor hand usage and ability to hold and push as with an ordinary peeler, as it does it for you. It's slower of course, but is that such a big deal when you suddenly find you can now do things, you haven't been able to do for years?

I recommend it.

Egg Perfect - Colour Changing Egg Timer

AKA Boiled Eggs For Dummies, 2008-05-09
I bought this for my other half as she was having problems and experiencing tremendous frustration when boiling eggs. This was one of those 'little' presents which turned out to be one of the best things I have bought for her.
Thanks to this strange little gizmo she is now an expert egg boiler. It is easy to use, easy to understand and helps to make a perfect boiled egg every time. If only everything was as simple as this.......

Kitchen Gadget of the Decade, 2007-12-17
My 8 year old son loves eating mash - he'd happily live on it all year!
Now we have this super tool to make perfect mash each and every time it's wanted.
No lumps; no mess; no waste; what more could you ask for? Just add some butter, milk, salt & pepper to taste and enjoy!
We often like to make big fish pies - Sheppards' pies too - with loads of perfect creamy mash on top. Nothing else will do this job.
And my son just loves taking a turn, to squish the potatoes through all those little holes!
