The Thousands

I’m sure that someone, somewhere, has invented a handier, more useful kitchen gadget than this. But until it’s delivered to my front door in eco-friendly bubble wrap, the Tupperware Quick Chef Hand Blender II takes the crown of kitchen’s most wanted. Living in a share house, where a flatmate’s pasta bake (inexplicably) takes two hours to prepare, this gadget has time after time shaved, sliced and diced valuable minutes off meal times.

**Not only does the dishwasher-safe wonder come with a lifetime guarantee, it has done away with unevenly cut onions, added an obligatory salsa to EVERY single meal and shredded coleslaw that challenges my Aunty Cynthia’s. I can only hope it persuades a certain housemate to once and for all ditch his specialty ‘pasta bake with frozen potato wedges’ in light of something a little more…edible. Now there’s a lifetime guarantee I can truly get behind.
