Fave kitchen gadget?
Does anyone have a fave kitchen gadget that they love to use or couldn't imagine a kitchen without one???
I have just bought a potato ricer. COOL! It's like a play dough machine for adults. Used it for the 1st time today, think we'll be having mash more often, it (almost) makes up for having to peel the spuds
DD did think I had lost the plot, I was obviously having too much fun.

The op apparently went to plan, the surgeon said he removed all the 'debris' he hoped to, so now she's off her feet for 2 weeks, then can start some light physio. Recuperation will take about 3mths in total. Fingers crossed it'll alleviate the pain she was getting from bone chips/spurs.
St. Paul's hospital in Vancouver was very efficient, and she got well looked after. Thanks for enquiring after her

I think her surgeon would shudder if her saw her this evening. Tonight's been a comedy - sick horse that developed collic at 9.30pm, so Lyn sat in the barn with her leg resting on a stool and crutches by her side, I dealt with a burst irrigation mainline in the dark, and now we've one of our clients (human) staying overnight while the vet deals with the horse. Oh, and it's week 6 of the monster in law's visit. Lyn's keeping a cheery demeanor though, bless her.

I too brought over my potato ricer (Lakeland) - it's fab (mix your potatoes with artichoke and aisago dip instead of butter Mmm, Mmm, Mmm), but my favourite gadget is my slow cooker!
