toast – The Interiors Addict

I got pretty excited about this. It looked like a go kart engine, which piqued my interest. Turns out it was the new Russell Hobbs Ice Cream & Yoghurt maker… which is probably a much better fit for this site.

But when I checked out the website for more info, the limited edition Vegemite toaster up for grabs smacked me in the face. That is one mighty awesome pop art style toaster which is still up for grabs from Russell Hobbs and Vegemite. And considering the Marmite vs. Vegemite debates I often have with my Pommy fiancee, I think I need this in our kitchen to make a point!

First things first, the Ice Cream & Yoghurt maker which I can 100 percent assure you IS NOT a go kart engine. It makes creating your own frozen treats like ice cream simple and also does yoghurt or ice cubes. So what? Stacks of products out there do the same. This one has some tricks up its sleeve though, which may seal the deal.

Breville Original ‘74 jaffle maker is retro groovy… or something like that

This one was way before my time – almost 10 years, but I still grew up with a jaffle maker and seeing one again brings back memories filled with delicious ingredients. It also brings back memories of frustration and burning smells, but that could have been more to do with the chef than the jaffle maker.

Back in the late 80s and 90s my mother used to have a gigantic plastic jaffle maker, such was the style of the time. One day it vanished, and I’m not surprised. It can’t have been that sturdy, and we used it a lot, mainly for putting tinned spaghetti in a jaffle or spiced mince. Those jaffles were pretty fantastic, but it also took a keen eye and some talent to make sure the jaffle was perfectly made with no splits or spills. We were one of apparently more than six million households which own jaffle makers.
