Very small kitchen gadgets

[WeeGranny]

I've got a garlic press; egg separator; measuring spoons; cheese slicer;lemon zester( also has a little hole on the side to make peel twists!). I use the end of a potato peeler to get the hulls out of the strawberries. I used to have one of those long things to scrape the bottom of jars and it had a fork on the other end for spearing your pickled onions! Wonder where that went? I also have enough bag clips of different sizes I shouldn't need any for a looong time, they came form MiLs' kitchen.

Cor Daisy! That’s a great piece of kit 😮 Mine is just like a teabag squeezer. (I have one of those too. 😆)

This is my strawberry huller. One of my SIL's gave it to me - she had one the same. Then she lost hers and she's never been able to find one as sharp as this, so I guard this one like the crown jewels!

I have one of these too Daisy. Mine is red and I use it for taking the stalky bit out of tomatoes as well as hulling strawberries.

Oma - posh bird indeed!!! Jealousy over my strawberry huller will get you nowhere!!! xxxx

Clover - I'd never thought of using it for tomatoes as well - what a great idea. Thank you. xxx

WeeGranny - I've got something I think is supposed to be a cheese slicer but I can never get it to work. The cheese is either too crumbly or too hard. In fact I don't know why I've still got it! It's a bit like a cake slice with a groove/blade in it.

I've got a few spoons with long handles and teaspoon sized bowls. I guess they're for long, tall ice cream sundaes but they're great for getting to the bottom of the mayonnaise jar.

My strawberry huller is a straw , works really well push it in the bottom comes out of the top with core and stalk , nothing fancy in my house

[Daisy]

Oma - what do you do with the bits of strawberry stuck in the straw?

[Oma]

They don't stick much and what does you just squeeze from under them and the bits just pop out

[Gemini]

I'm going to try the straw method.

Oma - do you use it like a pea shooter? I bet B gets splattered in little bits of gooey red strawberry!!!

[Oma]

Sometimes feel like squashing them in his face whole

[Daisy]

Oma - poor B. The things he has to put up with!

I don't understand how the straw deals with the leaf.

I have seen the straw method but never used it, this is about my potatoe/fruit thin peeler, use it daily but the blade broke the other day, I like them to "fit" in my hand, I got one at a shop in the village the other day, fits lovely in my hand, tried it and it wasn't working at all, a good thing I didn't return it to the shop, there was sellotape covering the sharp blade!!!

[Oma]

Plant as you push the straw up from the bottom of the strawberry it pushes the stalk and leaves out of the top of the strawberry leaving a hole like when you destone cherries , all nice and neat just pull the plug out of straw and do next one

Lizzie that's something I would do

I cant talk, we almost returned a new landline phone because it wouldn't sit on the stand. We had the stand upside down.
