We’ve all done it before. Bought a “miracle” kitchen gadget advertised on midday television or on an annoying pop-up Facebook ad (annoying because you actually fell for it, right). But you get it home, realise you really didn’t need it after all and it gets lost in the Bermuda Triangle deep within your kitchen cupboards and drawers.
Well, fortunate to those who are impartial to a kitchen gadget or three – we have hunted the internet and come up with this cracking list of unique, and maybe just a little bit helpful, kitchen gadgets to make your kitchen complete. There is definitely a kitchen gadget for everyone. But before you rush in to hit the “Buy Now” button, ask yourself the very important question “Will I actually use this?!” For some of you, it might change your world and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it, and for others, it might be just another impulse buy to clog up a valuable bench or cupboard space and collect too much dust. Some people must actually buy them, right? Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many of them around. I wonder…

Just pop it in the pan, set the timer and it does the stirring for you.
