You are what you eat
We’re all aware we should be putting plenty of goodness in our mealtimes, but reality often gets in our way. Thankfully, there are array of gadgets to ease our efforts, says Peter Jenkinson
Thrill of the Grill (pictured above)
Tefal Optigrill – £139.00 from currys.co.uk
The sensors inside this smart Optigrill modify its performance according to what you place between the stainless steel plates. Depending on how many portions are inside, what the meat is, and even how thick it is, the griller will then cook it to your exact specifications, with some truly lip-smacking results. It can cope with vegetables too, for that all-important healthy steak accompaniment.
Snack Time
My Kitchen Food Dehydrator
My Kitchen Food Dehydrator – £49.99 from lakeland.co.uk
Time to create all manner of snacks for the family with one of these food dehydrators. Slice up your chosen fruit or vegetable, place in one of the five height-adjustable trays, then leave the heat, which emanates from the base, to draw out the moisture and leave behind all the flavour. We’re told its ideal for preserving fruits for home-made jams, or trying your hand at creating sun-dried tomatoes – saves a small fortune, and a large amount of sugar, on shop bought versions.
Shape Shifter
Tefal express cube and stick.
Tefal Express Cube and Stick – £119 from woolworths.co.uk
You don’t need multiple devices to prepare your vegetables or fruit, just one can do the job. This machine selects the appropriate speed according to which of the five attachments is on-board, then will cube, stick, slice, grate or dice whatever you’ve loaded inside. Say goodbye to time-consuming and tedious tasks, and get your ingredients ready in moments and yourself ever closer to that seven-a-day target (yes they’ve increased it from five, sorry).
