This is reminding me I need to update my 10+ yo nutribullet 😂

Can confirm the Our Place gadget is fabulous. Has been a workhorse while we were missing an oven too.

Rice cooker. I’m sorry but as a Korean, it can only be a Cuckoo (Korean brand) or the star, a Zojirushi (Japanese). Not just for rice but also for one pot rice dishes too. I can’t live without mine. Plus, she sings 🎶

Good to know both about the our place and the rice cooker Jamie! I love that it sings. It reminds me of our trip to Japan, where even the street cleaning cart had a jingle 🥹

I don’t use mind enough but my Instant Pot pressure cooker is an absolute game changer. I must dig out my Nutribullet - I stopped using it as some sugar caramelised and jammed the things that release it so I got a bit scared using it! 😆

Oh yes I forgot about pressure cookers! I have an old ikea one (just a pot, not an electronic version) that I use to make bone broth, but it always gives me a mild sense of anxiety it might explode (happened once to my mum and nearly took her head off). Might look into the instant pot!

Is it bad that I’m hoping my Nutribullet will kick the bucket so I can replace with that beautiful new colourway! 😍

I would love to know what pans you use; I am on the hunt for some (not non stick) and a personal recommendation would be great!

Also I’ve never tried mayo in the blender! Do you use anything unusual ingredients wise?

O I’ll give this one a go as it doesn’t separate the eggs which is always annoying! 😂

Ahh ok, the stainless steel pan hunt continues!

We have had Fissler pans since we got married 35 years ago. Indestructible, lovely solid bases & come up shiny as new every wash. Not cheap, but 35 years & counting…

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll look into them and I don’t mind getting them one at a time, I’ll get there eventually!

It’s the prettiest I found and I also love the name Bruno! But I’ll have a look at Jamie’s reccommendations above, she sounds like she knows what she’s talking about!

I’m with you on the Air Fryer - I just can’t bring myself to part with the cash. I read an article this week about ceramic non-stick not being as healthy as it’s made out. It’s a pain but I’ll stick with my Falk copper. I’m intrigued by the floor cleaner thingy - will take a look at that. The Nutri Bullet is timely as I’ve wanted one but haven’t yet taken the plunge.
