I bought a pineapple slicer off eBay last night as I always end up buying fresh pineapples and then just throwing them away because I can't be bothered to chop them up (lazy I know!) I've also been looking at getting a potato chipper because even though I've been doing SW on and off for 6 years I've never ever tried SW chips and I feel I'm missing out!
Can anyone suggest any other kitchen gadgets that'll make my life that little bit easier?

I have used my Actifry just a few times - it is so big it just gets in the way. It's in the garage in its box at the moment because I just don't have room for it.I don't make soup often enough to make a soup gadget worth while, although I think they are brilliant.I can't see myself getting a potato chipper because I can't see how it would be much better than a good sharp knife!But each to their own. My sister has a pineapple slicer and loves it, but I can't see myself ever bothering with one.
Lazy gadgets to me are things like a food processor, actifry and slow cooker - as in things which make cooker easier. Couldn't really manage without any of these things.
I am in agreement with Anna, a sharp knife makes short work of chipping potatoes, really not a problem.
Crinkle cutter for chips and carrots
hand blender for soups
slow cooker
actifry
Electric cheese grater
electric tin opener
I love all of the above gadgets x

I need a chipper/dicer as that's what stops me from doing things like veg/chips. It is lazy but when you've been at work all day the last thing you feel like doing is spending 20 mins prepping food, especially when it could take 5/10!
Is there any good chippers/dicers that you would recommend?

I wouldn't even think of a chipper thouh I can see some people might want one.
I buy my fresh pineapple peeled, cored and sliced and in a great screw top plastic container that when the pineapple is eaten makes a brilliand container for SS soup for the freezer.
There is an attachment with most blenders !Electric cheese grater?! How comes I have never heard of this magical invention?!
Enjoy and enjoy the pineapple it is great for weight lloss as it is a natural diuretic.

If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down

Being on this diet is like being on a wagon that goes at speed then slows down, but it may even stop or go in reverse for a short time, so dont get off the wagon! If you get off, get thrown off, or lose your place, run after it! If that doesn't work, get the next immediate wagon. Fight to stay on the wagon it will take you to your destination
Pineapple is my favourite. I eat it til my mouth gets sore. It's a speed food isn't it?

Toastie maker is great for doing omelette / frittata type things.. especially the deep ones
You can also do a sort of scan bran cake in it..
Maybe a potato cake / bubble and squeak thing too ??
Ah, just seen the grater thing advertised on telly..
Made by tefal..
