This year we’ve some fantastic new kitchen gadgets – some pretty futuristic ones as well as some lovely traditional ones.
But a new report has listed the top 10 kitchen gadgets – and believe it or not, instead of state of the art stoves or big ovens, people are buying smaller, more specialized accessories.
And as more men step in to the kitchen, one of the most popular gadgets is the meat thermometer – apparently men prefer more meat-heavy recipes when cooking). And the top accessory for women are colourful spatular sets!
So here’s the full list…
- Silicon spatula set (#1 “most wished for” on Amazon US)
- Digital meat thermometer
- Microplane (brand) Grater
- Mandoline
- Kitchen Scale (#8 “most wished for” on Amazon UK)
- Salad Spinner
- Cake Decorating Set (#7 “most wished for” on Amazon UK)
- Bamboo Cutting Boards
- Candy Thermometer
- Apple Peeler
Smaller countertop appliances (such as handblenders) are now competing with the traditional stovetop as more and more people cook at home to save money.

At Magnet we’re passionate about kitchens and one of the things we love most is cooking a delicious meal while listening to some music.
So when we heard that rocker Sheryl Crow has released her own cookbook we thought we’d hit the jackpot.
To be launched in March the new book is called ‘What Makes You Healthy’ and reflects on the healthy eating-regime Sheryl embarked upon when was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006.
Sheryl says “I really got interested in cooking when I got diagnosed with breast cancer almost five years ago in February.
“I learned a lot about nutrition because I wanted to be proactive in my cancer treatment and part of that for me was to know what I was putting into my body, immune boosting and such.”
All we wanna do is listen to ‘All I wanna Do’ while trying out some of Sheryl’s healthy recipes!

This week, our favourite property gurus, Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer, have been showing us how to make the most of Christmas festivities and top tips for different types of parties. We have been glued to this show Channel 4 and will certainly use some of the ideas for our Christmas parties this year.
A fab tip was to use children’s buckets for sandcastles to make really impressive jellies in.
Kirstie is one of our favourite presenters as we worked with her last year on her Home Made Home show to supply her with an Urban Lineaire kitchen. This is one of our most popular ranges as the sleek gloss design goes well in all styles of homes. Kirstie had a traditional aga cooker and a country farmhouse style for the rest of the kitchen but the units fitted in perfectly with this and added an edge to the design.
Handleless designs will continue to be popular in 2011 and white and cream units show no sign of waning in popularity so this would be a great style to invest in and look great for years to come.
We will be tuning in to Channel 4 again tonight to catch the next episode.. Let us know what you think
