The debate continues…

This week has flown by! It’s been interesting to read your thoughts and experiences of all types of electrical equipment you have bought and found useful – or not. From soup makers to slow cookers, cordless vacuum cleaners and microwaves, we all have different opinions. Many gadgets are given as gifts, with some returned when found more tricky to use than was expected. It seems the slow cooker is still used regularly by many of us and I’m planning to share one of our favourite recipes as a bonus next week. The energy consumption is very low so it costs about 80p to cook a typical casserole, an important factor in these energy sensitive times. Another economical piece of equipment is the microwave oven as it’s cooking time is very short. Speaking of economy I succumbed to buying Jamie Oliver’s new book “One” which is full of recipes which use just one pan and seem to work out at under £1 per serving. I haven’t made anything from it yet, but no doubt there will soon be post-its marking potential trials. And by the way, we’ve filmed a new video this week too, hopefully to be edited and released as soon as possible. x
