4 Issues I purchased TODAY within the Black Friday gross sales
1. cordless stick blender
What I received: KitchenAid Go Cordless Hand Blender with Battery $149 on sale (RRP $268)
Genuinely the most-used electrical equipment in my kitchen, it’s extremely versatile! I’ve had this for a couple of years now in my work kitchen and I completely like it.
I’ve been a loud advocate of stick blenders for years now. As an alternative of dragging out a meals processor, blender, bullet blender, or mini-chopper each time I have to blitz one thing, the stick blender does 90% of the identical jobs with out the messing round. One attachment, one jug, one fast rinse and it’s clear.
It’s so compact and so handy, it goes method past the plain blitzing soup. I take advantage of it for pesto, curry pastes, silky purées (like pea), raspberry coulis, sauces, and even foolproof never-split Hollandaise.
The cordless characteristic is a sport changer. I didn’t realise how a lot the twine aggravated me till I switched. With the ability to seize it, blitz one thing wherever I’m standing, wherever the pot is, wherever I’m making the sauce, makes cooking quicker and actually simply extra satisfying. And no sacrifice in energy!
What I received: KitchenAid Go Cordless Hand Blender with Battery. That is the mannequin with a removable, rechargeable battery that can be utilized throughout a spread of KitchenAid cordless merchandise (beater, chopper, citrus juicer and so forth). You simply get one product with a battery then that very same battery can be utilized throughout all merchandise (so get the opposite merchandise with out a battery, which is cheaper).
It’s highly effective, it’s compact, and the battery is alleged to final for as much as half-hour, however there’s nothing I make that requires blitzing for that lengthy!
2. Cordless mini chopper
What I received: KitchenAid Go Cordless Prime Down Chopper $168 on sale (RRP $198), no battery (I received the battery with the stick blender above).
I haven’t owned this earlier than however I’ve been eyeing it off for some time and immediately, I came upon my brother Goh has one and is obsessive about it! There may be some duplication in capabilities with the stick blender, however the chopping operate is what appeals to me. Here’s what he says about it:
“I take advantage of it to make pestos, salsa, puree. I additionally use it to cut onions or mirepoix (no tears). I take advantage of it to make grated parmesan each time I want loads. I even use it to show chunks of meat into mince. Holds 3.5 cups. Very light-weight however highly effective.”
There may be additionally a KitchenAid cordless meals processor which holds 5 cups (1.25 L / quarts) which is a bit bigger and heavier, and beginning to head into counter-top meals processor territory which is why I didn’t get it.
3. THERMAPEN MEAT THERMOMETER
What I received: Thermapen® ONE in white, $105 on sale ($166 RRP)
Hardly ever do I prepare dinner protein with out utilizing this.
I by no means inform readers they need to purchase a gadget – besides a meat thermometer. Meat is pricey! Once you put money into a premium standing rib roast or stunning piece of tender lamb blackstrap or a leg of lamb, it’s not definitely worth the threat of overcooking it and turning an unbelievable reduce into an costly disappointment.
A thermometer ensures you hit excellent doneness, each single time. Thermapen markets itself as the perfect, most dependable and quickest – and having owned one for plenty of years now, I can’t argue. I take advantage of it virtually on daily basis – for roasts, pan-searing steaks, fish, hen breast, even breads (for recipe testing), checking oil temperature, and sweet.
4. le creuset dutch oven!
That is my housewarming reward to myself. 🥰
What I received: Le Creuset Forged Iron Spherical Casserole Pot 26cm in Coastal Blue $426 on salt ($710 RRP) – I’d suggest 28cm if you happen to prepare dinner for big numbers.
I’ve by no means splurged on a Le Creuset for private use earlier than, I’ve solely gotten them for work (ie – deductible!). Seems while you {photograph} 248 recipes for a cookbook, you’ll be able to’t maintain utilizing the identical beige dutch oven on a regular basis – so I needed to have a couple of totally different colors! 🙂
Le Creuset Dutch ovens are famously sturdy – the sort of factor you purchase as soon as and maintain for all times – with unmatched warmth retention and even cooking that makes the whole lot from sluggish braises to soups and baking extra constant and dependable. The enamel coating is extremely robust, the construct high quality is outstanding, and so they’re items that get handed down by means of generations. They’re not simply fairly, they’re professional-grade workhorses that justify the funding.
So, that is my one huge funding splurge for myself, as a housewarming reward. The color matches the color theme in my home, it’s so fairly! I believe I’ll show it someplace seen somewhat than stashing it in a cabinet. 😊

What I received: Set of 8 Riedel pink and white wine glasses (good all-rounder sizes) $140 on sale ($240 RRP)
I’m not a wine connoisseur so I don’t have wine glasses for several types of wines. My choice stops at pink wine, white wine and champagne glasses!
For so long as I can bear in mind, Riedel has been the model that I’ve coveted. They’re so superbly skinny and balanced, and each time I take advantage of them, it simply makes the entire wine second really feel slightly bit particular.
2. All the pieces i received from wheel & barrow
What I received: Wheel & Barrow platters and bowls, cake stands and candle holders and jars and all types of issues I didn’t truly want! Now all 30% off 😭

I used to be holding out for the Black Friday Gross sales however impatience received the higher of me as I fooled myself into believing I’d begin having family and friends over for dinner instantly upon shifting in! (I didn’t consider that tradies would nonetheless be turning up at 6.30 each morning and I’d spend most evenings sweeping and dusting and vacuuming and mopping 🤣).
3. meals processor
What I received: Breville Kitchen Whizz 16 $539 on sale (RRP $769). The double blade makes this meals processor so superior!
This can be a beast of a meals processor that I take advantage of to make Dozer’s home made pet food – and he goes by means of 1 kg of meals each single day, so I want a piece horse! As a result of he has an old-man medical situation that requires meals to be in a sure safe-to-eat-form, I have to whizz the whole lot right into a paste earlier than baking and slicing into chew measurement items. I take advantage of meat, fish, uncooked and cooked greens – so you’ll be able to perceive why I want a strong meals processor!
The mannequin I’ve has probably the most highly effective motor you may get which is what I want else the motor burns out making Dozer’s meals, and much more attachments than I’ll ever want. However actually, aside from the motor energy, the factor I really like probably the most about Breville meals processors the double blade. It chops issues up a lot extra successfully than single blade meals processors! There are different Breville meals processors that aren’t as massive and never as highly effective that even have the double blade. Search for it – I promise it’s going to change your life!
4. microplane
What I received: Microplane 46020 Premium Zester Grater, Black $32 ($60 RRP) – observe, there are totally different fashions, the opposite one doesn’t grate as finely. This one grates finely sufficient so, for instance, parmesan will soften effortlessly into creamy sauces.
UGH! I’m so aggravated I paid full worth for this – it’s now 40% off! And I received TWO of them. As a result of all too usually I’ve used it for garlic then I desperately want one to grate parmesan over my pasta!
I’m a devoted microplane woman, it’s my favorite grating software for finely grating issues. I solely have microplanes and an ordinary field grater, nothing in between. It’s a software that by no means lets me down – razor-sharp, easy to make use of, and excellent for the whole lot from garlic and ginger to parmesan and citrus zest.
