An AeroPress coffee maker
A small, tough plastic press that makes a clean cup of coffee in about a minute and packs easily for camping or the office. It came up in the thread as a long-running daily favourite.
A six-tray dehydrator with stainless steel trays for drying fruit, herbs and jerky at home, and a good fit for anyone with a veggie patch or a glut of fruit. Recommended in the thread for turning cheap produce into snacks.
A rice cooker with a microcomputer that cooks rice the same way each time and keeps it warm. One reply said that if you like quick meals, rice is king.
A pressure cooker and slow cooker in one pot, for stews, rice and soups on a busy night. The Australian page is the 5.7 litre Duo and the US page is the 6 quart Duo, which are the same size of cooker sold under different units.
