Toasters

Qantas sells them

Toasters. I go by weight to determine quality. I quite like the sunbeam four slice toaster.

I bought one of these, they just pop the seal. I half expected I'd be throwing it away but have used it ½doz times and always works.

Me too. Had one for years.
Works well.

Been using one for years. Simple and effective.

Toasters and kettles - any recommendations?

I bought this in 1984, still use it daily, never needed any repairs. Sunbeam. I like the way it softly lowers and raises the bread/toast, and seems to determine toasting by colour not time.

Not an appliance but a kitchen tool, I had to buy a new can opener and went with Victorinox

as this one is absolute rubbish and barely opens the tin.
It would be easier to throw the can against a brick wall to get it open than use this

I have had a MagiCan opener for decades and still going strong. I wouldn't want anything else.

Love our Breville 4 slice toaster, bought one for mum in laws house as well AND I used Qantas points to get it as I had a parcel of points to use

We go one of those for a wedding present, exact same colour. It lasted about 40 years. Sadly it stopped lowering.
We bought a Breville, its ok but not as good as the sunbeam one

I have the lengthened version of that one that can do 4 “normal” size slices or 2 long slices of bread. Been quite happy with it to date.

We had fair life from a 4 slice Breville as above, but a replacement died within weeks followed by several other hopefuls.
I was a bit amazed at the parade of new junk passing through, some didn't even work out of the box !
I then bought a 4 slice Kitchen Aid for more $$ which also died.
The replaced under warranty KA toaster has ,however , been happily toasting away for many years now without fault.

How much per kilo?

I have had a good run with Breville (2 slice) which costs only around $25. Great value when you consider many expensive toasters die too early. So far around 10yrs but 18 months ago I thought it was about to die so bought a replacement. That was enough for it to get a second wind and behave itself.
Did the same with the cheap Breville kettle and now I have both replacements sitting in readiness for JUT use.

MrsK went down the Delonghi route, for our new kettle and toaster. I think it was the shade of green that won her over - although it looks like the green isn't available for the kettle anymore.

Previously purchased the Target version but when I saw the RH one on sale for $66 I had to buy it for the holiday house.

dollar cost averaging down.
Sister has one, loves it for tea making. Might be my next one.

Tonights Ninja-Creami experiment was vanilla mango. Similar recipe as prev posted but I added some mango from a can, as fresh mango not in season yet, and some juice and blended all and freeze.

Spin on lite on the ninja deluxe and hubby said it's yummy. I'm not a fan of mango but it tasted good. I will mix in some mango pieces after spinning next time and Mr Denali suggested some coconut.




Next experiment will be pistachio.
