Did you know that 6th May is ‘International No Diet Day’? This useful fact popped up when I googled ‘events in May’ for some tech inspiration and it might be my new favourite holiday. Yes, technically this can apply to any day, but if there’s a day literally dedicated to it, then it’s certainly worth celebrating. So, here are some useful gizmos to help you get on board and satisfy those food cravings…
Electric Popcorn Maker With Bowl
Lakeland: £29.99
What goes best with a movie? A gigantic tub of popcorn, of course! Whether you’re more of a salty connoisseur or prefer your popcorn sweet, this handy gadget from Lakeland will help you enjoy the classic cinema experience from home.
Make delicious fluffy popcorn in just a few minutes with this clever contraption. Simply fill the chamber with popcorn kernels and let it start popping! You don’t even need to use oil, as this popcorn maker only uses circulated hot air to craft your tasty treat, making it a healthier alternative. Once it’s done, all you do is remove the bowl from the machine and you’re all set for movie night.
Tefal Toast ‘n’ Egg ‘n’ Beans 2 Slice Toaster
Argos: £55
If you’re more of a breakfast foodie, this 2-for-1 gizmo is a solid choice. To save you time in the mornings, try out the Toast ‘n’ Egg ‘n’ Beans toaster to prep a perfect breakfast. As the name suggests, this gadget can toast your bread and cook your beans at the same time, meaning less cooking time and more eating time! And it also saves you time on washing up, thanks to its easy-to-clean dish. You could swap out the beans for egg if you fancy adding something different to your morning meal.
Ice Cream & Dessert Maker
Currys: £199
If you’re anything like me, you’ll know that there is always room for dessert! This gizmo is equipped with programming that helps you make ice cream, milkshakes, sorbet or gelato. All that’s needed is to fill the included tub with ingredients and let them freeze overnight. Then, you let the dessert maker do the rest of the work as it gets churning.
Choose from one of seven programs on the touchscreen menu to get started and look forward to your frozen dessert. This machine even comes with a guide for delicious recipes, so you can satisfy your sweet tooth.
Bon appétit!
