Things that you'll find in your cupboard...
Mixing bowls! Oh they do come in handy don't they? Get yourself a medium glass bowl for using as a ban marie when you need to melt chocolate.
Your main mixing bowl should be big enough so you can bake a large cake without whisking half of the mixture onto the floor! Mason Cash are my favourite, lovely traditional ceramic bowls and they're not too heavy.
It's also a good idea to have a melamine bowl. They can come in sets which is great because you get a range of useful sizes and there's lots of different colours to choose from. They're light and don't break if you drop them, great if you're baking with the kids!
Sieves are very humble in appearance and yet have the power to make your cake mixture lighter and your fruit puree smoother! You don't need anything too fancy, this stainless steel sieve by Paul Hargreaves will work wonders.
Everybody needs a good Colander. Use it to drain anything that takes your fancy, or place it over a pan of boiling water and use it to steam your veg! These stainless steel colanders are great for space saving as they can stack inside one another if you feel like you may need another size.
Measuring Jugs are not only for measuring! Oh ho no! They're great for mixing up liquids and having more control when pouring liquids into mixtures.
It's the new year, and as we all know, it's A Good Year For Cooking! So lets get back to baking good, homemade food from scratch. No more buying tasteless ready cooked meat balls or beefburgers, why not create you very own? A Mincer is what you need, allowing you to experiment with your own recipes for bolognese, re-design your mums lasagne and chase away any winter blues with warming home cooked shepards pie. This Cast Iron Mincer will clamp securely to your worktop and comes with three mincing discs of different sizes. It also has a sausage making attachment, for those days when only a sausage sandwich will do.
The good old Pestle and Mortar, great for when you feel like bashing herbs, crushing garlic, smashing spices and grinding things to make wonderful salsas and dips!
Kitcheners Tip: choose a design that you love and then use your pestle and mortar to serve your creations on the dinner table.
Take your home cooking to the next step and grab yourself a Pasta Machine. They're very simple to use and trust me, you'll never want to place a bag of dried pasta in your shopping trolley again. This one is my favourite! (Although you can choose from a great selection here http://www.kitchenercookware.com/)You can roll the pasta into thin sheets and then cut into spaghetti or tagliatelle, and a selection of additional attachments means you can make a variety of pasta dishes. The skies the limit!
All of the items mentioned above can be found in our shop and many on our website.
