bid Report post Posted September 26, 2008 I just came across a hand-me-down from my MIL in my cupboard: an egg poacher for 3 eggs... Now why 3, rather than 2 or 4 which would be logical?? What strange kitchen equipment do you have lurking at the back of your cupboards? Boho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNeil Report post Posted September 26, 2008 3 = 1xMum + 1xDad + 1xChild 3 = 1xFat person + 1xSlim person 3 = 1xVery fat person 3 = 3xSlim person + nxPeople on a diet 3 = 3xSlim person + nxPeople who don't like poached eggs 3 = 1xThe Goodies/Bananarama etc. etc. etc. What's lurking up the back of the cupboard? Nothing as I had a good clear out and threw out/donated anything that hadn't been used for over six months Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted September 30, 2008 I just came across a hand-me-down from my MIL in my cupboard: an egg poacher for 3 eggs... Now why 3, rather than 2 or 4 which would be logical?? Are they arranged with the handles in a triangle around the steam holes - that could be economical on space ... maybe There's an antique shop near my Mum's with a kitchen section - I love going there just to look and touch the stuff (touching is allowed!!) because it's sooo bizarre, but sometimes there's some really clever solutions to things that would have been problems Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billabong Report post Posted September 30, 2008 I don't know if this really counts as kitchen equipment, but it's certainly lurking at the back of the kitchen cupboard: a cafetiere jacket in the design of a dinner jacket. I have a photo of our (sadly deceased, dearly beloved ...) cat wearing the jacket but I don't get it out for everyone, in case I get reported to the RSPCC and get blacklisted . I suppose I could scan it one of these days. Billabong Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What strange kitchen equipment do you have lurking at the back of your cupboards? Boho Now what's illogical about 3, may I ask? I grew up in a family of 3 (Mum Dad and me) and such a gadget would have suited us perfectly! K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
