I have a few appliances that I use on a regular basis some of them are very basic, some not so but I love them all.
Sandwich Press
Mine is able to fit 4 regular sandwiches and makes for a quick lunch, snack or meal. They can be as basic as a cheese toastie but add a few gourmet ingredients and they go to another level.
Pie Maker
I have a 4 pie maker and also a 8 mini pie maker. They are perfect for leftover curries, casseroles etc or make a purpose made pie filling. They freeze well for a quick lunch or snack.
Slow Cooker
I love using my slow cooker particularly if I am out all day or I have just got a very busy day planned. The slow cooker does all the hard work all you need to do is pop the ingredients in and set it going, come back a few hours later and you have a meal cooked to perfection.
Thermomix
I have a TM5 and love it, it makes light work of preparation, stock, doughs, pastries and lots more.
Stand Mixer
My lovely family gifted me a Kitchen Aid several years ago and they earnt lots of brownie points that day. It whips up the best pavlovas, sponges and desserts beautifully.
Stick Blender
I use my stick blender to puree soup that I have cooked on the stove and it whips cream in no time flat with out the need to use a large appliance.
