Kettle for me, when in doubt put a brew on, so much so we got an industrial one as it may not be pretty but at it means I can have loads per day without refilling it!

my digital scales. They also weigh liquids. I even use them to weigh wool when I need to divide the balls in two.

y set of knives can prepare anything with them

Kettle - where would we be without our morning cuppa (tea or coffee).

wooden chopping boards - to prepare and serve food

It has to be my old brown crock pot inherited from an elderly aunt, I love the way it cooks my meat and veg, a lamb hotpot is always fantastic out this pot.

I love my big stewing pot. perfect for this time of year

A very inexpensive white mug with a removable rubber ring on the bottom, I love the softness and silence when it touches a surface, especially in the morning !

My microwave or my wine glasses!!

Since I became mother: the Thermomix

My thermomix and bread maker. Use them every single day! The bread maker takes the mess out of making dough and the kids lovveeeeeeee making bread with it and experimenting with flavours.
I mainly use the thermomix as a grinder for coffee beans and grinding different types of flour. It's a great little gadget!

My knives which I've had forever, which I use up to ten times a day.

My nutri bullet, gets vitamins fruit and veg in my kids pronto!

The Global knife my partner gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago. It is the absolute perfect size and shape for me. I use it for everything, my other knives just sit there! Otherwise, my dishwasher, which is definitely my best friend, especially when we're hosting a big dinner party!

My thin wooden spatula. very versatile.

My chopping board and knifes

Chopping board! Whether it's for actual chopping or serving

I could not live without a wok.

I use a small stainless steel Turkish coffee pot, not for making coffee but for boiling water, milk and eggs. It has lasted me over 10 years.

It's a bit weird...but I don't think I could live without my big pallate knife! I do a lot of cakes...so I use it for decorating...but then it had so many more uses! Anything from transferring pastries or meringues to opening a trapped drawer! :-)

my kettle and a little sharp knife that i use for veggies!

Le Creuset!

my random collection of Meakin Sunflower 50's crockery.. hunted down at flea markets and auction sites...

Our Le Creuset stovetop whistling kettle. Slow but pretty.

has to be the sink!

My extra large hot chocolate mug for sure!

Nutribullet every morning for a good old smoothie :)

Kettle, essential for refreshment breaks

The kettle gets used regularly although it's started leaking so it may end up un the bin soon :-)

My nutribullet

Personally probably the kettle - I'm not the chef in the house! And once it's out of the loft, my treasured metal caffetierre.

The kettle, for making endless cups of tea for my OH

Got to be the wine glass

All my different mugs - and I have quite the collection! Second place is my kettle :)

ceramic knives - I get it out of the knife block even before I decide what I'm cooking

It's got to be my gorgeous reliable dualit kettle, I've had it for years and it still looks like new and probable gets used over a dozen times a day

Coffee machine (me) and ice cream scoop (my son).

We got a Wok as a wedding present back in 1992 - it's fairly battered at this stage but I would use it at least 3 - 4 times a week to stir-fry - I'd be lost without it!

gorgeous spoons

A small olive board to slice a lemon for my morning lemon tea

My cafetiere

It used to be my wok but as I'm now residing at the in laws until our completion date arrives, that is now packed away in a box and stored in the loft......so now it's my oversized mini mouse mug I have my daily tea in!!

that little extra sharp kitchen knife that's used for cutting everything

Our lovely thick wooden chopping board - from Aldi!

my corkscrew and cafettiere... that's got to change in the New Year though... need to give up all the bad stuff and get a juicer !

coffee machine perks me up before riding

My Olive wood bowl - its so beautiful

My stockpot. At a certain point in the colder months I make my own soup, and everyday add extra water and ingredients to it, and boil it up to eat, so I have an ongoing source of dinner. I finally wash it out once the weather heats up, or I don't fancy soup anymore.
