Tefal le Saucier

I have had one of these for years but it is now on its last legs. I have been meaning to buy a new one for ages but didn't. I have now discovered (thanks to Lakeland having them in their sale but now SOLD OUT) that they are no longer made and seem unobtainable despite a morning's searching the web. Does anyone know of anywhere still selling them ? (It is a fab small gadget which gives an extra pair of hands in kitchen, while turning out perfect sauces, melting chocolate etc etc) Any ideas very gratefully received

Probably not greatly helpful judging by your location. But I'm SURE I saw some of these in the Bluewater branch of Lakeland earlier in the week. Maybe worth giving them a ring?

Thank you all - I even phoned Tefal who said they hadn't made them/had any for ages, but I didn't think of phoning a Lakeland shop. I'll try tomorrow - fingers crossed !!

what are they?

Small non-stick 'saucepan' with central paddle which rotates, standing on a base which heats and has variable heat settings. Pop in butter, when melted, hurl in some flour, let it cook a bit then whack in milk and magic white sauce appears while you do other things (and no chance of lumps because paddle is stirring all the time), add cheese etc. I also melt chocolate in it for choc mousse, and have done hollandaise sauce (but not v often). I love it because of the lovely smooth sauces it makes while I'm doing the veg or painting my nails but anyway not standing over a saucepan with a whisk and still managing to get lumps. But what's the point of telling you how wonderful it is if there are no more! Sob........

*zippy*

Mine arrived this morning too :T

They are made by Seb and you can get them from amazon France I was going to do this before lakeland had them in. postage is very expensive though so try lakeland branches first.
