Advantages: Easy to use and neat to store

...me with exactly that: a Petra WA (WaffelAutomat) 12 waffle maker. Waffles are a lot like another of my favourite foods: crepes. The recipe is almost the same too, but the key difference for budding chefs is that in order to make waffles you do need specific equipment in the form of a waffle maker. There are literally hundreds of different types of these, but I've only ever tried mine, and it suits me nicely. The waffle maker is about the same size ...
...though, you can get the Petra WA 12 to make waffles just the way you like them. Another issue concerns the amount of mixture you pour onto the grill plates. The first few times I tried I was a little over enthusiastic, and decided to fill them completely before shutting the lid. This caused the mixture to ooze out at the sides, make a huge mess of the kitchen and even put me off making them again for a while. A few years down the line I'm a pro ... Read review

I have wanted a George Foreman grill for a long while and as my kitchen is about to be re-done and I won't be able to use my cooker for the next week I was provided with the perfect excuse to buy one. I chose the junior grill as it's about the right size for cooking for me and my daughter and I liked the convenient bun warmer on the top.

The Breville sandwich toaster i think is really good value for money, it gives you everything you want and it looks good on the kitchen worktop with its sleek design, which can only be a good thing.

Advantages: Removable non stick plates, hinged lid
Disadvantages: Not cooking

...I previously owned a Rosemary Conley health grill, and when it got broken (recently), I replaced it with one from the new Rosemary Conley Energi range. On the old machine I used it mostly for toasted sandwiches , and it cooked a toasted sandwich in 3 minutes perfectly, crispy and the cheese melted. The NEW one didn't cook the toasted sandwich at all. It melted the cheese eventually after 5 minutes but the bread was still white and uncooked. The company ... Read review

...a gift, we dont have the receipt, so Argos won't exchange it and the manufacturer doesnt want to know as we dont have the receipt. I notice that absolutely no-one now sells it except for the Rosemary conely site now. One wonders why they disappeared so quickly!!! ... Read review
