  • A very useful kitchen companion

    A very useful kitchen companion

    This Silicone Baking Mat works really well. I was not sure as to how well the mat would grip the surface of my worktop and if it would slip when kneading dough. This was not the case and the mat stayed adhered to the kitchen work surface even when I was trying to make it…

  • No more having to convert cups to millilitres

    No more having to convert cups to millilitres

    At long last I don’t have to convert US recipe measurements with cups into UK measurements in grams and millilitres. This is making it so much easier to use US and Canadian recipes when cooking. There is such a vast array of recipes that I just avoided until I purchased these Stainless Steel Measuring Cups.…

  • This is so cool, why are all can openers not made like this!

    This is so cool, why are all can openers not made like this!

    So this Tin Opener looks a little different to most. Obviously it is designed to open tins but it only has one handle! When a tin can is made, the end of the cylinder is rolled over and therefore leaves no sharp edges. The lid is then pushed and crimped into place during the manufacturing…

  • The proof is in the lack of sticky pudding

    The proof is in the lack of sticky pudding

    Whilst my wife cooks I occasionally bake and it’s normally either bread or sticky treats. I like the size of these silicon baking sheets as there are so wide. Just a little less then the width of the oven. So to give them a good test, I decided to make something vary sticky to bake…

  • A quick and simple food saving task is now a chore

    A quick and simple food saving task is now a chore

    I use a vacuum food sealer a number of times a week. They are great for expelling all of the air and sealing an item before freezing. It depends what the food is and how quickly it was frozen, but food sealed in this way can last for up to 2 years in the freezer.…

    I hate wasting food and anything that I can do to keep food fresh for longer, that does not involve additives, can only be a good thing. This is a great product and I have been sealing all manner of items for a number of days now. I have grown a number of chills this…

  • Heavy Duty and Good Quality Measuring Spoons

    Heavy Duty and Good Quality Measuring Spoons

    I do not cook day-to-day, but I do love baking and I’m forever rummaging around trying to find an appropriate sized spoon to measure my ingredients. I do have two measuring spoons but they are not designed for liquids and they have very wide heads. I was very pleasantly surprised when these measuring spoons arrived…
