Do you have use a slow Cooker?
Good set of knives? Le Creuset pots?
stockpots?
Do you even have a bread maker?!
 
my tefal non-stick wok and my sabatier knifes are my fav things. oooh and my red and silver weighing scales.i dont have a bread maker or a slow cooker. i like cooking on my hob and using the oven.
 
:lol: forgot about my ace hand blender my mum gave me. love that too. it makes brill cauli "mash". its white tho. hmmmm. wonder if i can just paint everything red?
 
I have a Jamie Oliver frying pan that I use every day for bacon, eggs, pancakes etc.

I think you mean all the best people have oak kitchens with a black sink and an american diner booth in them :lol:
 
I think our cats would LOVE an oak kitchen!!

I used to have a nice pine table... they whittled one leg to a shadow of it's former self!
 
Hey there!

Definitely my ice-cream maker :clap: I use it at least twice a week and it makes the best sugar-free ice-cream ever! I buy sweetning syrups from Low-carb Megastore and use those. I could rave about my ice-cream maker all night - but as i have bored everyone I know about it, I'll shut up :lol:

p.s. I also have a red kitchen - and a red hand blender - which would be my favourite item if it wasn't for the ice-cream maker :lol:

But you can make lovely, low carb waffles for breakfast with it?!

My most favourite kitchen item is a close tie between my food processor or my sinfully expensive cookware.
 
I have a vegetable steamer with compartments so that I can multi steam. A bit over the top I hear you say but I also have a vegetable garden and it's nice to pick things and steam them fresh. Alternatively you can give them a quick steam and put them in the freezer for later.
 

I have always cooked fresh food and always eaten healthily, why do you assume that diabetics do not?

As for gadgets I have just ordered a burger press which I'm looking forward to trying
 

Are they right texture WJ? Apart from my lovely almond muffins I really struggle with the texture of low carb stuff
 
I love my George Foreman, just a small one as theres only me. Saves putting the oven on! My slow cooker get used a lot in winter for stews.

Can you please share you ice cream recipes as Ive just go my hands on a little ice cream maker. (I have a tiny kitchen) Everything has to go away for part of the year for somethin else to come out :lol:
 

tree-peony, try these:

Waffles just like grandma used to make

2 medium eggs
3 tbsp almond butter (or for a more intesnive flavour you could use tahini = sesame paste)
sweetener or salt

Mix everything together, make waffles as you normally would, these are delicious just spread with butter alone

calories 127kcal
fat 10,5g
carbs 0,5g (if you use tahini its slightly higher)
protein 7,7g

Or with coconut:
2 eggs
100ml shredded coconut
100ml cream

mix everything together

Eat with you waffles with berries and cream, or berry coulis and greek yoghurt or savoury, eg 2 waffles with grated cheese cheese in the middle, it melts then add red onion, or creme fraiche with prawns, avocado, etc

or these

http://www.organicthrifty.com/2010/05/1 ... e-waffles/ you can omit the honey, use sweetener instead or salt if you want savoury waffles

Our favourties are grandma's waffles, but all 3 recipes give you nice cricpsy waffles, let me know how you get on.
You can make almond butter yourself, grind almonds until you have a paste.
 
My wife.

My dads balloon whisk, which I accidently pinched off him :shh: :lol:
