If you love making home-made soups, check out the Cuisinart Electric Soup Maker. It can chop, boil, simmer and blend – all in one compact and stylish unit. Just chop your vegetables and add them in, the Cuisinart takes care of the rest.

The appliance has a 100W element and 2 heat settings, as well as a simmer function. So you can do things like brown vegetables and soften onions before adding in the stock. Then, let it simmer away to gently cook all the ingredients. When done, just hit the switch to blend it all together to the desired consistency.

With Thanksgiving on the way, you may be serving up lotsa lasagna. This Slice Lasagna Pan makes it easy to cook and cut lasagna, and cuts down on all the gooey mess.

Just layer the ingredients as you normally would, and then push the non-stick cutting grid into place before placing in the oven. Not only does the grid cut the dish into 12 perfectly-portioned serving sizes, but it also helps to cook the sides of each slice for a neat presentation and less cheesy goodness oozing out the sides.

The Krups 4-in-1 Multi Cooker is a versatile kitchen appliance that can slow cook, steam, prepare rice and cook oatmeal – all in one convenient unit.

The beauty of the Morphy Richards Intellisteam is that it lets you steam and prepare 3 separate dishes at the same time for easier, complete meals. Just insert the recipe ingredients in each of the 3 compartments and set the time per dish. The device will ensure all of the dishes are ready to serve at once – even if one meal takes longer to cook than the others.

Each of the 3 compartments is independently controlled, so it’s easy to cook rice in one, vegetables in another, and chicken or fish in the third.

The Intellisteam looks a bit big for the countertop, but if you can find a way to steam more of your food (it’s healthier than frying and retains more nutrients), it may be worth it and means less pots and pans to clean up every day!

Baking up some pie this Thanksgiving? For recipes that call for precise measurements, this Adjustable Rolling Pin can help achieve great results. Designed by Damian Evans for Joseph Joseph, it comes with 3 sets of removable disks that help roll the dough to a desired thickness of 2, 6 or 10 millimeters.

Like any good rolling pin, it ensures an even thickness throughout the pastry. But the added bonus is the measurements that appear on the pin itself, etched onto the beech wooden surface, so you can control the size of the pastry too (roll up to 33cm wide). Dishwasher safe.

Great for dinner parties with both meat and veggie-lovers in attendance.
