Further to my obsession with kitchen gadgets – the Antipodeans seem to have got something going: the orange sieve goes back to the late sixties and is still in remarkably good condition, I thought that the stainless mesh would pull out of the plastic moulding but it hasn’t. Oh, I think I have earlier said that this comes from Australia – it doesn’t it is from Auckland, NZ.

The Dalson slice/spatula and the bean slice are definitely Australian. My mother has been buying the slice/spatula for years from the early sixties. The handles melt if left on the side of the frying pan but they still seem to last. They are brilliant at hoiking fried eggs out of the pan.
The Krisk bean slicer is classic and easy to use. Top and tail the bean in the bladed loop at the top. The spring loaded arm with a single blade means that the bean stays snug against the slicing blades. Just push the bean through a bit until you can catch the other side, then pull the bean through, simple. Discard the side sliced off strings. It makes you want to slice beans.
Research on the net show that this little device is made by Tatham Cutlery, to quote them: “Tatham Cutlery Mfg. Co. Pty. Ltd. has been making the KRISK Bean Slicer in Sydney, Australia since 1923. It is exported around the world.
The design of this kitchen tool has changed very little in 80 years. It didn’t need to – because it’s just right as it is!
The KRISK® Bean Stringer & Slicer effortlessly removes the ends and the strings of the bean and slices it lengthwise.
Many people wouldn’t eat their beans any other way.”

I dont know what to say. This blog is fantastic. Thats not really a really huge statement, but its all I could come up with after reading this. You know so much about this subject. So much so that you made me want to learn more about it. Your blog is my stepping stone, my friend. Thanks for the heads up on this subject.
My website is best acne treatment
Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.
My website is on Stock investment
Sorry I have been away from the site for a bit so no recent additions. Please revisit soon. In answer to your question – yes I get loads of spam, much of it dodgy. Most of it is proposing looking at pictures of various women presumably in states of undress (I haven’t looked) and if its not that these spams are promoting various drugs for erectile dysfunction and weight loss. It is a maddening chore having to trash them all.
