Advantages: Compact but with good capacity, easy to clean Disadvantages: We shouldn't be eating fried foods should we??
...I was looking forward to a nice plate of chips. I went into the kitchen and turned on the deep fryer. You know what they look like - big round white things that take up half your kitchen counter. I went back a few minutes later and plunged my chips into the oil. Nothing happened. The oil was stone cold.
Now, had I thought to check to see if the fuse in the plug was all right, I would have solved the problem. Not that the plug had fused, mind you - the fuse was gone!

Place up to a kilo of freshly cut chips into the cooking pan, then measure your preferred oil with the scoop... more
This seemed like a fantastic idea because as a mum with 2 small children, I am forever boiling the kettle - getting distracted & having to reboil it again to make my cups of tea ( of which there are many)
Tefal claim that this machine will save 65% of more
In our hectic modern lifestyle, it is essential that we are able to shave an extra few minutes off making a cup of tea. As the average person drinks about 4 cuppas a day, that's over THREE DAYS a year saved. Just think what you would be able to do with... more

Out of all the household tasks ironing is the one I hate and the one I am useless at. So when my iron died a death a couple of months ago I thought I would invest in a steam generator iron. Whilst they are expensive they... more
