Favourite home item/s


Following on from the excellent 'rubbish home products' thread, thought I'd start one on fave products!

This is mine, already mentioned in above thread. This was bought as a birthday present for me two days before we moved into this our first and current house (11 years ago nearly). I just love it!

It's a kettle by the Italian design house, Alessi. Sadly the cats, when little ,loved batting the bird-shaped whistle around so that is long gone, but the kettle, despite only occasional polishing, still looks good as new!

Steamer? Do you have an electric one, one for the microwave or a cooker top one? I have to say, my steamer gets lots of use too

An electric one Yola..... I have this Tefal Steam Cuisine one ..... http://www.thereallyusefulstore.co.u...source=froogle

I could never go back to boiling veg on the hob, it tastes so much better when steamed.. In fact I rarely use my hob at all..

Re: Favourite home item/s


I love my toaster too, although I really shouldn't eat bread as it sticks to my bum/thighs/tummy!

I was treated to one of those stainless steel 'industrial' ones, didn't stop me prodding a knife in to unstick a tricky peice of bread and damage the element though . . . Still, 2 of the 4 slots still work
