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

A waffle maker and I blame here for it
The hash brown waffles filled with cheese and ham (plus poached eggs) I made this morning went down very well, I liked them and Mr SSOAP said Ooo I like these, can we have these for breakfast on my birthday?

I replied yes and then the well reviewed £24.99 four slice waffle maker (yes I cheapskated on it) immediately went pop!
So I decided I must have another one. Hopefully better quality one.
The Cuisinart waffle maker was reduced from £100 to £47 so fingers crossed for this one

I realize you're feeding a small army but I've got this one. Pippi likes hers with gravy...

Mine is similar to Barriehie‘s model.

They look great and if I could get away with making one round one at a time I would definitely have a round flippy one!

I think you're the round flippy one!

Well, got my heavy duty mortar and pestle today. You can tell where this is going with the JB Weld tubes... I got a refund but want this one to work. Worst case I've got a smaller pestle but that kinda negates this massive mortar...

Barriehie Mine did the exact same thing!
E6000 with a smear of hot glue to keep it together until the E600 cured (24hours)

Good to know. I've got the JB Weld on it already so I'll see how that pans out. Given using the tool properly it *should* work. I can't see a scenario where I'm torquing the pestle. I mean, it's like beginner hammer...

So, is it still operable?

yes, just swell!
I don't pound as much as grind really...

Well, now that I've inadvertently got a smidgeon of JB Weld on the pestle where you can see it, , I've had to dive into material hardness charts to see if I can wire wheel it off without boogering the pestle... The steel wire wheel should be around 4.5-5 hardness and the pestle should be 6-8 so it *should* work out.

I don't see pounding much either. I kinda go like side swipes with a downward push.

A smaller pestle will work fine.
The beaut about the big mortar is that you can see if you have missed bits and pieces...

 

[Barriehie]

I think I've appropriately repaired the pestle but I've still got around 14 oz. each of red, green, and yellow curry paste to eat through; which is what I bought the mortar and pestle to make...

 

[Barriehie]

Well, two years after deciding I needed one it's arrived! My 23 qt. pressure canner and appropriate tools kit.

This requires a toast!
