Gadgets for Your Home

Whether we are harried homemakers or busy professionals with little time at home, whether single, a couple or a family with kids, we all depend in varying degrees on gadgets that help make our lives easier. Some nifty gizmos you might want to consider when you set out to buy your home appliances are:

Nespresso Le Cube: Want to buy a coffee maker that gives you as much flexibility as making coffee manually from scratch, with none of the trouble? This modern, compact and beautifully designed, exceptionally easy to use coffee machine that makes a mean espresso just might be what you’re looking for. The Le Cube is designed to accommodate single servings, and the coffee quantity in each cup is programmable.

Black & Decker Dustbuster Flexi: This dustbuster offers the best of both worlds - compact and light enough to serve as a hand held vacuum cleaner, but with the advantage of a 1.5 metre long coiled hose which can be unclipped to clean bendy little nooks and corners.

Joseph Joseph adjustable rolling pin: Pastry making becomes a piece of cake if you buy this adjustable rolling pin. It comes with three sets of removable discs to raise the rolling pin 2 mm, 6 mm and 10 mm off the work surface, depending on the type of pastry being prepared. The clever design ensures that the pastry or dough is rolled to an even thickness throughout, and a pastry width measurement guide is helpfully etched into the wood.

Bamix Mono Blender: If you’re looking to buy a new blender, consider this little marvel that can chop raw or cooked vegetables, fresh or frozen fruit, strain vegetables for soups and sauces, puree baby food directly in the pan, mix dough for cakes, biscuits or pancakes, liquidise fruit and berries and crush ice-cubes.
 
Chef 'n Sleek Slice Mandoline: Those who wish to buy a mandoline may want to consider this compact, dishwasher safe folding slicer which comes with a stainless steel micro serrated blade for efficiency, and four thickness settings to allow for slices of varying thickness.

Tefal Toast 'n Egg: Instead of buying a conventional  toaster, you could opt for a toaster, egg cooker and precooked meat warmer rolled into one. It can perform each of these functions either individually or simultaneously to make a full breakfast. It has an egg poaching tray, a tray for hard boiling eggs and a wide slot toaster that can accommodate toast, bagels and muffins.
