Kitchen gadgetry

no, definatly not!! our kitchen is quite big too, which is even worse as i feel i have the space to 'store' items!

I try to bamboozle Mr F by saying 'but Flows bakery NEEEEEEEDS it' hahah!

Love kitchen stuff but I hate junk cluttering up the counters, it feels too messy and I like a big space when cooking/baking. I won't even have the toaster out, it lives in the cupboard.

No. I love it. I spent hours poring through the Lakeland catalogue the other day and am coveting gadgets that only have one use and a random one at that.

Although I have quite a big kitchen, I don't have a huge amount of surface space, but it is all taken up by gadgets. I have three types of coffee machine for goodness sake!

? That's impressive! I only have the one (plus cafetiere) but it's been relegated to the garage because (in H's words) I never use it.

how!?@ do you use all three?!

My mum is trying to gift me her old Kenwood mixer (erm, not quite the KitchenAid I'd hoped for!) but space is limited in my new kitchen. She then said that I should mount the microwave on the wall, thus freeing up more surface space - the boy did look like he wanted to cry too at that point until I asked if he wanted cakes or not!

Hubby is usually the one for all kitchen gadgetry he loves all that stuff

But I ❤️ my kitchenaid mixer

Do you think a kitchen aid is a suitable 'Ive just given birth to your first born' gift from mr F to moi?!

How can anyone work 3 coffee machines ???

I'm not really sure how I ended up with so many! My parents had a Senseo machine whilst I was at uni and they bought me one when I moved to London after graduating. Then one Christmas my sister bought me a mahoosive one which brews real coffee and froths milk like this:

I had it out, but I only ever used it when people came round so I could make a big pot of coffee. Then it got relegated to the box room when I had my bread machine. A couple of Christmasses ago, my parents bought us a Dolce Gusto machine so now the Senseo is also in the box room!

This looks like mine. Its name is "Mister Cappuccino" (genuinely! It's written on the front!).

OOOH!! And this beauty is my microwave. Early Christmas present from Ma Orange ?

That's the one! When I was looking on google images, I was searching for Mr Coffee, but you're right!

its AWESOME! it looks like a tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have this one but the double one with espresso machine as well,but I haven't used it for ages. I really should as I wouldn't want to get rid of it!

We have this one too!

Go Mister Cappuccino!!

This is another thing I want need. Hot cup water dispenser & filter! In fairness, the arthritis in my wrists is making it harder for me to safely lift the kettle. Or at least that's what I'll tell H.

CO I love your microwave! You are definitely not the only one, our kitchen has the stupidest tiny amount of worktop space but I'm now thinking of getting a coffee machine and I don't even drink coffee ?.

Hmm this thread is showing proof of my love of gadgets. I also have one of these and it's the same brand as this but I don't think it has a filter. It's brilliant for when you are just making one drink but because we have a lot of gadgets the kettle has been resigned to the cupboard but when you need more water than a cupful it's a pain although there is an adjustable amount you can have so you put it up to max. I suppose if you were cooking a big meal ie boiling steaming veg you would get it out.

You're not the only one - I may or may not have spent half an hour in Debenhams yesterday drooling over their many pretties.

As well as a KitchenAid Mixer I also very much want need a Magimix:

That makes it sound like he's given birth to your first born...

But anyway, yes.

Oooh I have one of these... it was a wedding gift... not used it yet though.

We've just had to turn our kitchen into a galley kitchen and add four extra units to make room for all the crockery and other bits and bobs. The builders should have finished it off today, can't wait to go home and see ?

I think OH is already dreading the day we go to John Lewis to choose stuff for the wedding list - he's already said "no kitchen sh*t"!!

Ha - mine had no choice. We took SIL along and bless him, it was like I was marrying SIL and he was the spare part!

Well... in fairness he wouldn't let me get the Emma Bridgwater crockery with the hearts on ("too girly"), only the multicolour spot ones. And we did need kitchen stuff as we were making do with stuff left over from uni days.

Not a gadget but we got these as a wedding present:

I love them ❤️

ooooh!! Very funky!

It's a big freestanding electric mixer, the sort you'd see on Great British Bake Off. I neeeeeeeed one.

My other half has just been reading this thread over my shoulder!! He is the kitchen gadget nut in this house, he has ooohed and aaaahed over all the pictures here haha. He has two coffee machines and is nagging for a third and I have just got him a kitchen aid for xmas and he will not stop bugging me to give it to him early.

He will not wear me down!!

Hehe this thread made me chuckle- I too didn't know what a kitchen aid was!

Eclair, I like a lot of the Joseph Joseph stuff
