Re: Has anyone designed a new kitchen? - 2 years ago
Hi there, In the last year we've just put in a new kitchen. We were on a very tight budget. Now we've had it a year, things I wish I could change. Bigger sink, make sure those roasting dishes fit. A tap that doesn't spray everywhere. A benchtop that you can place hot things on. Overall I'm very happy with my cheap kitchen. Everything is brand new, kit set and fully functional.

Crispy Pavlova - 3 years ago
Hi all, I'm having issues making a Pavlova. I have a new mixer and a new oven, old recipe. I'm using foodlovers Most perfect pavlova recipe, except, this recipe requires me to add everything in together. I have no idea what my oven should be on re: fan etc The ingredients are mixed perfectly, no grainy mixture. I bake it for the time it says. Leave in oven overnight.

Re: Air Fryers - 3 years ago
Hi, I own a 3.2 litre one from Kmart. Very rarely does it get put away. I've cooked frozen chips, nuggets, spring rolls, sausages, pies, cookies, sausage rolls, mini pizzas, bacon. So much nicer than microwaving food or using fat and my oven.by Zeetra - Foodlovers Food Talk

Standing mixer - 3 years ago
Hi all, I am on the look out for a new standing mixer. I currently own a kenwood, but I’ve never really liked this particular model of kenwood. I am on a tight budget, so I can’t afford a really really good one, just a decent one. Any suggestions? Zee xxby Zeetra - Foodlovers Non-Foodie Chat
