DOES ANYONE HAVE ADVICE ON GADGETS THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO PEEL CHOP AND SLICE FRESH VEGETABLES?

I survive on ready meals, mainly good ones from M&S, so they are lovely, but I would far rather be able to prepare

my own meals too.

I am a vegetarian of many years standing although I added in fish a few years ago.

Any gadget advice much appreciated. (I am not too keen on pre-prepared vegetables.)

Best wishes,

Fiona

I have my trusty food processor which has actually reached quite a venerable age now, but I wouldn`t be without it. It`s a Kenwood, but not an expensive one. I have a mini-chopper too, from Lakeland.

PS I got an ergonomic veg knife with a handle you put your hand into, from our local Disability place. It`s wickedly sharp, though, and I hate using it.

hi Paul,

hmmm wondering exactly what you mean about your lovely wife .. lol i am sure you are looked after well

i can't pull ring cans, open tins, even getting the seal of yoghurt pots can be tricky for me, as i'm left left handed and my worst joint is in my left wrist.

i can't chop certain vegs, especially bunch of celery that is a definate No No.

then my Hubby come's in handy :)

Hi Fiona,

A food processor can chop, though I`ve never tried peeling on it. There are different attachments for chopping, slicing etc. I use mine to make pastry as well, and no-one`s complained yet!! I use the little one if it`s only one onion, to be chopped, or one something else. There`s a grater attachment too on the food processor.

I do have a lovely husband to open cans, tubs of yoghurt etc.!

Love, Kathleen x

Brilliant - I went on Amazon and there was a double bubble offer - the ring pull gadget and also one for bottles and jars. I have ordered them. Thanks Julie.

Sorry if we have gone a little off the original topic.
