    Totally agree on the green stay fresh bags - brilliant

    I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned the soft eating licourice. I love the strawberry and the mango flavours and have to buy a bag whenever I get to go to a store.

    The BF has made a strict rule that I do not go in without supervision as I always come out with stuff :rolleyes:

  • Does anybody have any opinions on the Culinare Multi Grater?

    I haven't got that one, but I have got this from IKEA, and have to say its the most used 'gadget' in my kitchen: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80083256 there are only two different graters, but its much cheaper!

    My favorites from Lakeland are the cake and loaf tin liners, the portable cake holder/carrier(especially for Birthday and Christmas cakes), pineapple and mango slicers in regular use, Weetabix storage container.
    My worst was a pair of spatulas designed to extract contents from the bottom of jars(specifically in my case getting the last stubborn scrapings of Nutella form the big jars!) - absolutely hopeless!!
    Thanks for the inspiration re 'bulk yoghurt maker' and pizza maker - better start saving!!

    I get on really well with the spatulas, especially with mayo jars etc. Particular success with the nutella!

  • Best - a funky trundle, it's a collapsible crate with wheels

    worst - a silicone baking mould for my Mum, it stuck continually

    Completely agree with the ikea grater. We have that one too & it's fab, even got a lid so you can store what you have grated without it drying out.

    Lakeland buy umm I love their stuff but I confess to only ever buying in the sales. The baking sheets are fantastic. I got the advent calendar & santa sacks which are fantastic quality & will last year after year.

  • quote "Do those metal 'soap' thingys work?"Answer - yes they do but if you have a stainless steel tap, just rub your hands up and down it - this will get rid of garlic smells.
  • best buys:
    Green spongy drawer liners for the fridge - stops veg getting yucky.
    Silicon oven tray liner - used over and over again.
    Ovenmate - brilliant for cleaning ovens
    Green compost carrier

    worst buy:
    Liked their Potato ricer but as I hate washing it - its never used.

    I must get myself some bread saving bags.
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D

    I put the potatoe ricer in the dishwasher.

    Worksurface cleaner/polish spray stuff is great on slate and granite.
