Offering a healthier way to fry food, as it uses a modest amount of oil, the Actifry can be used to cook stir-fried vegetables, meat, fish, homemade chips and more.

C’rush Cocktail Ice Crusher

£18.99

With the summer months approaching the UK, it’s a good time to start preparing your kitchen for potential barbeques and dinner parties that the sunshine tends to attract. Although this looks like your regular ice cube tray, it’s a lot more complex than you would think. The thinner moulds allow the water to freeze in approximately one hour and the malleable, soft case can be twisted to create crushed ice.

Magimix Vision Toaster

£145.00
