What’s the next kitchen item you plan to buy (2025)?

Heat diffusers are pretty commonplace here but they look quite different. They’re usually a flat thing with off set holes in.

Mine are different. No holes.
Basically just 2 layers of steel with air in between.
Like these Klassiek Hollands sudderplaatje | Hollandshopper

Putting these here since that what I’m wearing in my kitchen 99% of the time (under my apron, of course…usually…).

I am considering upgrading my bread machine. I like to make 1 or 2 large batches of dough at a time.
This is the newer/upgraded version of the one I have. (May be my Christmas gift to myself)

msmofet Looks like a useful tool. I use my KA and a big glass bowl. It's a zen thing...

Definitely Zen

I was just using my quite ancient digital kitchen scale for something or another and commented to DH that I really should break down and get a new one, "DO IT!"
I was steaming You Tube and watched ATK's Gear Heads and what was the first item that they review and recommended?
Amazon.com: OXO Good Grips 11-Pound Stainless Steel Kitchen Scale with Pull-Out Display - Black: Home & Kitchen

I'll take a look around the kitchen to be sure that there isn't anything else I'd like to order...

I used to it for bread dough, but now I only use it for cookie dough. I don't have to proof my yeast either.

I used to make 5 lbs. AP flour plus another 2 lbs of assorted flours (wheat, soy, rye, wheat germ, ground oats, several others). BUT arthritis stopped that years ago. I loved the feel of the dough and the stress relief.

 

[badjak]

That's a lot of flour in one go!
I normally use something like 700 gr
Sourdough.
Hardly any kneading, just some stretch & folds

I would do regular loaves, cinnamon raisin bread, sausage bread, and pizza.

I'm usually doing around 450 gr but I don't eat a lot of bread, usually. In the winter I'll make more since I don't mind turning the oven on. Lately with the Groomer Girls I'm baking theirs and I'm eating the Wally World white stuff for $1.47/loaf...

I vary...
Sometimes around 500 gr, sometimes 700 gr flour
I divide and put in small tupperware and in the fridge.
Some is used for pizza, some for small bread in any form.
Sometimes on the stove, sometimes in my uuni (not only for pizza), and sometimes in the gas oven or on the braai

I was baking for a family of four. Went through bread for breakfast, and lunches, plus dinner pizza. I froze some sausage bread for later.

That's a lot even with a machine!

Yes it was. Couldn’t use the machine for that much. This bread machine makes 3 lbs of dough. Enough for me to make some mini sausage breads and maybe a mini cinnamon bread.
