Tried and tested: Ruby Tandoh on kitchen gadgets

The star of the Great British Bake Off gives her verdict on four of the latest

My favourite-ever kitchen gadget is a 1.50 small aluminium fish scaler in the shape of a turbot which I have never actually used to scale a fish but have cherished as a much loved back-scratcher.

I've never been much good at finding the right tools for the job. I've had other more productive forays into the world of kitchen gadgetry since, but good products are hard to find. Most gizmos were one-trick ponies, used once and then dutifully retired to kitchen graveyard at the back of the under-sink cupboard with the bundt tin and the juicer. Others, like the Egg Master and my hog-shaped jelly mould, are delightful grotesques designed to be gleefully revered and never, ever sullied by actual use.
