But even when you’re closely following a recipe, some steps in the baking process involve a fair bit of hard labour. Many a novice baker ... Read more

Cleaning a blender by hand can be a time-consuming exercise in frustration. Most blender jugs tend to be tall and narrow, making it really tricky to access the bit at the base around the blades where most of the food grots tend to collect. Oh no! The blender is all clogged up with DELICIOUS BERRIES (photo by Daniel Lee on Flickr) Poking around with a long-handled scrubbing brush ... Read more

I believe that all anyone really wants in this life is to sit in peace and eat a sandwich.” - Elizabeth Miervaldis "Liz" Lemon The humble sandwich doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves. It’s not often considered a “proper” meal, but rather the quick n’ dirty replacement for one, ... Read more

One new appliance that ... Read more
