What’s the next kitchen item you plan to buy?

They're quite popular but it may depend on which side of the pond you're on!

Had a look. They have them on amazon here. A flat one and a raised platform one both very cheap for what are well reviewed scales, £20-£25
The price makes mistrust them already

This might be, IMHO, where it's a good product irrespective of the price. I could upgrade and get one that cost $50+ but the $25 I got eons ago still works fine...

Ok, I took my replacement scale out if the box and made pasta dough (the pasta I was going to make last night but was too lazy so took some out of the freezer instead). Anyway, they work great.

Magic in a box!

Nice and working!

Apart from replenishing the rotating supply of food items/ingredients, what would you say is the next thing you plan to buy for your kitchen?

Something big, like a new fridge? Something small, like a stick bender? Something in between?

I’ve been on the lookout for some attractive swing-top bottles, so I can make some flavored adult drinks, especially with the upcoming holidays nearly upon us. I’d also be able to use them to make picnic-friendly tipples in the warmer months.

What about you? Planning any big or small kitchen purchases in the near future?

I wanted to get a dehydrator to dry fruits, but there isn't much space left to fit one.

I bought a new blender a while back but it's terrible.
So I still need a new one

Sorry to hear that. Was this the long awaited purchase you were considering a while ago?

Why's it terrible?

It's far too weak.
Not enought power. It can hardly blend ripe tomatoes...
I didn't check wattage before buying

yeah - they are rather large. I have a 5 tray Excalibur dehydrator and at the moment, it is in the garage because it is too warm here to run it anywhere else, but they do take up a lot of space.

Been there, done that (last Xmas!!) Replaced it a month ago.

I've got an Oster all metal drive 600 watts that I've had for an easy 30 years and works well. It's even got a glass container thing!

That’s always the way, isn’t it? I want all the stuff, but I don’t have the space to store it!

Had that happen with a food processor, of all things, name-brand, too. Even the replacement the company sent was crap.

I have a Waring I’ve had for about 20 years, also with the glass container. It’s heavy to manipulate sometimes, but the flimsy plastic ones some blenders have don’t inspire much confidence (let alone the staining issue).
