I was given one of these, one with the string and it's probably one of the most used things in the kitchen as we grow all our own lettuce throughout the year (I haven't had to buy lettuce for nearly two years now). Have replaced the string at least twice and the string has left grooves in the plastic as it's used that much!

I saw it too, but was being polite and not drawing it to anyones attention.

That's why TM gives you fifteen minutes for editing a post.This one could be described as going off at half-cock ;)

Not true kay. You got quite personal about a post I'd made about lingerie well over a year ago, only 2 or 3 days ago.

My George Forman grill - large family size. I used it heaps for the first three years, now just cant be bothered.
I do use my crockpot a lot and my large size electric frypan. Blender comes out occasionally.
Other than that I dont have much - I recently bought a lovely coffee machine and grinder and they have pride of place on the bench and are used several times a day.
I've never owned a food processor though often wanted one.
Does anyone who doesnt want their popcorn maker want to sell it to me? Mine broke after 8 years of use and we really miss it. Lots of kids, cheap healthy snack and I refuse to buy that nasty chemical covered buttery stuff.

I have never owned a popcorn maker but the family got hooked on popcorn while living in the USA.
I put 1/4 cup of canola oil in a large saucepan, heat it to medium and put 1/2 cup popping corn in to sizzle gently for one minute.Then I turn it up to high and put the lid on.As soon as it starts popping, I turn the element OFF.Give it a little shake (or poke a wooden spoon down under the lid to stir up the 'old maids' on the bottom) and as soon as it stops popping, salt it or add the other ingredients you might want.
I don't add butter, but I like tossing in parmesan cheese.

Its much quicker and easier with a machine. We used ours about 8 times a month for years. With 7 kids its quicker to do 3 loads in the machine than the pot thing - did that for years as a kid.
I just thought if so many people have them and dont use them, someone might want to make a few bucks selling me one.

Masterchef had some good popcorn ideas - tossing in smoked paprika etc. Popcorn for grownups!

Thanks. I have bid on a couple. I also have a lot of flybuys and thought I could buy one through that. Just figured if anyone here wanted to offload some space and make some money...

I'm mean. I make them eat it completely plain. No salt, no butter, no icing sugar. They love it.

I wanted one for years and kept putting it off. Finished up by one of a friend's old aunt. An early model but only used twice. She was scared of it and didn't use it. I have a microwave popcon maker. Interesting plastic thing. Fascinates the grandchildren as they watch it going round and round with the corn popping.

I saw preschool children having great fun watching corn being popped from an open electric frypan placed in the middle of a large clean sheet.They sat around in a safe circle as it popped all over the place - and then they ate it!

I'll bet great fun was had by all. Popping corn is good entertainment for young ones.

Some people say it's lovely to wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread from a bread maker...I do like making it myself though, it's very theraputic kneading bread.

What brand (and size) is your breadmaker, Pam?

I think it is the one attached to her body. She did say she fnds kneading therapeutic.

I took it to mean she did both but preferred to use her hands ;)
