Btw....my favourite kitchen gadget is the corkscrew. :whistle:

Oh, I could kick myself for missing this one! :mad:

My "Waiter's Friend", the professional's bottle opener & corkscrew. £1.49 in Ikea, and yet another classic Ikea product name.

PS. Gadget or tool, though?

Ditto!

Stephen - a box of wine (3litres) doesn't need a corkscrew! (lots of bottles have screwtops too)

Kitchen timer for me. I'd be lost without it. Mine can time 4 different things and I often have it timing 2 or 3 things.

Frying pan :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I think I might need one (or more) of these, too. I do tend to lose track of time, when the culinary muse takes me. However, there is a cookery competition program on telly when I get home, and I've noticed how many of the professional chefs use them (or a row of the things!) which makes me feel a bit better. Once again, good old Ikea comes up trumps, at just 99p each.

Cork screw, digi scales and my new snazzy blender that seems able to do anything I want it to.

Digi scales, like lots on here. Small, cheap as chips, but love that it can be re-set as I add things. Have started weighing pasta and rice as well in order to get some portion control going on and just find them invaluable, they are one of the few things I actually keep out in the kitchen

Oh my God I'm sooo Blonde! I reset mine when I put the bowl on, but then have to watch carefully when adding 10oz to 6oz! :rolleyes: (And no I can never remember how many oz's to lb!)

I would have to say my stick blender is great,small and useful! I also use my weighing scales every day for something..maybe one day I will go digital! I am saving up for a bread maker and am on the look out for a large slow cooker...they all seem to be 3.5 litres and I want a 6.5!!! ooh e bay..I am off to look again!
