not a great one for gadgets but some I have bought

With me. it all comes down to labour saving with cooking and cleaning,
Airfyers are quick - cook small quantities very well and go into the dishwasher for cleaning. What's to dislike? I never use a conventional oven.

I love my Airfryer use it every day, even my breakfast toast gets done in the Airfryer I haven’t used an oven for over two years
I have a rice cooker which I love and a soup blender and a small microwave I think that’s all I ve got in the way of appliances

I use my air fryer a few time a week.
Apart from Christmas, I haven’t used my large oven in three years.
I do however have a combination neff oven, which is great as a smaller oven but absolutely chronic as a microwave.

At last a decent can opener for the few that aren’t ring pull, Lantana.

An egg cooker is the most useful gadget I have.

Just looked at those and ordered one. Thanks 👍

My airfryer is used every day rarely use the oven anymore. Microwave is used for defrosting mostly and thats about it for gadgets.

I have a remoska - it is brilliant. I rarely use my ovens.

Best gadget of all is one that opens lots of different sizes of bottle and jars - and is great for tubes of paint where the lid has dried on. Also my electric can opener is in regular use.

I have a shoe remover and shoe horn all in one.

I have 2 little plastic microwave saucepans - stick in some veg, and a spoon of water - put in microwave and buzz for 2 minutes. Handle is cool so you can remove easily and it tips up to drain. Bingo!

I don't think you can compare a microwave and an air fryer. I use both, but not for the same things. 'Wet' food, such as curry or casserole is heated in the microwave, and 'dry' food such as potatoes or bacon goes in the air fryer.

I think plug in induction hobbs are a brilliant idea.
MrP has fitted 4 this year.

Mine is plug in, my GS fitted mine no problem.

I am the only person in the world who isnt bothered about an air fryer. I have one and hardly ever use it.
I love my egg cooker and my slow cooker.

The best gadget I have is a robot mower. It is controlled by an app which I can use even when I am away. It cuts the grass way better than I can.

I’m not enthused with my airfryer. I find it awkward to get food in and out of it - it’s only got a single compartment and cooks enough food for two, but I use the oven more as I find it easier to use, but I feel slightly guilty about doing so as it’s probably using more electricity. We had thought of getting a larger air fryer, but not done so. The existing air fryer I have is gathering dust in the utility room.

A lovely chromium plated egg-slicer. Very efficient - knives, no matter how sharp, just don't do the job properly.

I love my air fryer - but like all gadgets it's important to get one that suits the user. I only use my oven when we have visitors staying and I need to cook larger amounts.

I also love my slow cooker, brilliant for batch cooking for the freezer and big enough for making larger casseroles when we have visitors.

Our soup maker gets used when we are busy doing things and just want something quick and easy. DH has made some lovely soups in it and there is usually enough for two lunches.

My microwave is only used for heating plates. If it wasn't built in I would probably get rid of it.

No you’re not! I don’t want one either.

My best and cheapest gadget cost about £10. It’s a metal grater for cheese, chocolate, carrots etc. it is made by OXO and has a small plastic box underneath with a lid if needed. Before I got this I tried several graters (mostly more expensive too) and this is fantastic. I use it most days.

I used to have one of those, goodness knows what happened to it. It was handy and there was no mess.
Perhaps it's time to buy another one.

No, I haven't got an air fryer either.

Small dishwasher I love. My air fryer is fab, quite roomy and I rarely use.the oven. Small electric chopper for onions, carrots etc. A potato tumbler or 'Spudinator' as I call it. Excellent if you have disabilities. The slow cooker is great for batch cooking but a sod to clean. I saw a silicone or polythene ? liner for them but I'm dubious about microplastics. Next gadgets to investigate are robo vacuum/moppets and robo lawn cutter. I'll need an Anne Droid soon probably!

Vacuum/mopper not moppet!

So many comments here on GN enthusing about air fryers are wearing my resistance down. In fact an air fryer would really be ideal for the way I cook and, like most of us here, I am only doing small quantities for two, anyway.

My main problem is, I don't have the space. I regularly chuck out kitchen gadgets I don't need, and keep the mixer and toaster in cupboards, but the worktops are still full. My oven works perfectly well (on electricity we produce ourselves by means of PV panels) but I do feel a bit silly switching it on for just a small pje, or a bake, or two fillets of fish.

My absolute favourite gadget is the Nicer Dicer which chops fruit and veg into even sized cubes or chips; so satisfying having all the bits in a stew a uniform shape and size, and the smaller cubes are ideal for risottos. Even if you're pureeing or mashing them, you have the guarantee that they will all be cooked to the same degree as they are identical in size.

I loved the thought of a small dishwasher on my worktop. No need to be plumbed in then I looked on Amazon and
Most of them are over £200. I think I’ll stick with my Marigold’s….😁
