I’m a sucker for gadgets – especially kitchen gadgets. I just have to have them! Of course, I use them a couple of times and away they go in the cupboard, forgotten until I have no more room, then they are relegated to the cellar only to see the light of day when the whim comes upon me. Take my Breadmaker (please), this started out as a way to save money and eat healthily. Unfortunately it didn’t turn out that way. I didn’t like the bread, it was too dense, plus the screw always stuck in the bottom of the loaf – leaving an unsightly hole. Away it went, only to be resurrected again when I make fruit loaves (which turn out great.) Another use for the breadmaker is for the actual bread making process, the kneading, risings (novel idea eh) BUT I don’t let it bake, I use the oven for that. I turn the dough out, shape and bake. Now this works great for me and I’ve had better results, so every so often, I will use the breadmaker.
I rather like this gadget. It’s an egg seperator….yes I know, why bother, just use the old egg-shell trick. But this is why gadgets get bought – because they are so cute! It’s all very well being practical, but if the design doesn’t grab – it won’t sell. Get it HERE
Staying with the egg theme (which came first? the gadget or the egg?), here’s a bit of magic – put your boiled egg into this machine and hey Presto square eggs! WHY? – are they more aesthetically pleasing? easier to put in sandwiches? Poor Mother Nature, if man had his way…the poor chicken! Still can’t live without one? Get it HERE
