Baker’s Edge Brownie Pan™
Undoubtedly the best part of a brownie is the edge. The chewy edge where the brownie batter has come into contact with the pan is a magnet for brownie fans. You have to be quick before they’re snatched up, leaving only the middle pieces behind. However, if you use the Baker’s Edge Brownie Pan™ no matter where you slice the brownie, two of its sides will have that delicious corner crust. The pan also comes with a custom nylon spatula to easily extract your sweet treat.

VonShef electric yoghurt maker
Yoghurt seems like one of those foods that you wouldn’t necessarily try to make at home. However, with the help of this nifty gadget by Vonhaus, it couldn’t be simpler. With the help of the handy user’s guide and recipe suggestions, you can prepare either normal or Greek-style yoghurt. The process isn’t a short one and needs up to 10 hours in the device for the fermenting process to work, with several additional chilling times. There is enough room in the 1.8-litre tank to make up to 1,400 millilitres of normal yoghurt or around 1,200 millilitres of Greek-style yoghurt.

Chocolate and caramel fountain
Adding some showmanship to the humble fondue pot, a chocolate fountain is always a people-pleaser at a get-together. However, what’s seldom seen is a fountain cascading rich caramel. The chocolate and caramel fountain by Joe and Seph’s can do just that. Sadly, however, you’ll have to choose between chocolate or caramel as the machines can’t flow both simultaneously. Simply pour your caramel sauce or chocolate buttons inside the bowl and in minutes they’ll be heated up, move through the lifting spiral and flow down its three tiers.

Poplite ®
Using only hot air, the Poplite by Presto is the popcorn machine that lets you ditch the microwave bags for a healthier alternative. Without the need for oils or fats, all you have to do to get freshly popped corn is fill up the device with corn kernels using a handy measuring cup, put the lids on and hit start. Within a couple of minutes, fluffy fresh corn will start to erupt from the machine and fall into a bowl. If you’re looking for a buttery topping, the measuring cup also doubles as butter melter when it’s placed in the machine’s lid.
