I’ve blogged on Eagleton Notes about kitchen gadgets and at some time I’m sure I’ve mentioned on this blog that I manage very well without them. I know that Cowgirl at Riverdale Ramblings was very scathing about kitchen gadgets and I felt almost guilty at my UK collection although, in fairness to myself, many of the gadgets have been presents from people who know that I love cooking. When I was having treatment at The Beatson in Glasgow last year I mentioned to Marlene (See The Last Day and Steak Pies and Kindness) that I was trying to find an onion holder for when you are slicing them but had been unsuccessful. I find it one of the most useful kitchen gadgets and wasn’t prepared to take my Scottish one to NZ! A few days later she presented me with one. It has been put to very good use. Here’s the evidence! Thank you Marlene.

Amazing, I would never have thought there would be a gadget to help with (the relatively simple task of) chopping an onion. I tend to just hold the onion with one hand and the knife with the other.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this explains the number of small cuts on my fingers :)
I've had one of those as long as I can remember! (And always use it, as soon as chopping onions are involved.)
ReplyDeleteCan handsome combs do?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding.
Cutting a tomato came to mind too. Very cleever, as we say in my house!
