We know you like to act the part when it comes to handling yourself in the kitchen  – the cloth swung over the shoulder, one of those aprons that has a picture of a ripped midriff displayed on the front and an array of secret spices at your disposal.

Well if you’ve come that far you’re probably ready to further arm yourself in the battle for kitchen supremacy, which is where these handy gadgets come into play. Every kitchen needs a proper Cast Iron Grill or Pan, one that is built to withstand the heat and can handle the oven, stove or open flames.

Take your pick between the following options:

R309 for a 37.5cm x 24cm Cast Iron Reversible Grill (R499 value)
R329 for a 34cm BBQ Cast Iron Griddle Pan (R499 value)
R349 for a 32cm x 24.5cm Cast Iron Oval Grill Pan (R549 value)

You can read more about the range of cast iron pans and grills HERE.

Now that you’ve got the perfect weapon to sizzle that steak on it’s time to deal with the humble chip. Enough of buying the frozen ones that never really cook properly, why not make your own homemade chips with the Potato Chipper for R239 (50% off, free delivery)? Change the blade with one easy step and go from making chunkier chips to thin French fries. The more health-minded out there might switch to sweet potato but hey, a chip’s a chip and we won’t judge.

Now to finish it all off there’s no harm in adding a touch of practicality and a sprinkling of laziness with the Russell Hobbs Multi-Purpose Salt and Pepper Grinder for R249. That’s both the salt and the pepper in one stylish grinder (red, white or black), with one tap of the button putting the grind mechanism to work. You can adjust how coarse or fine the grinder chops with a light illuminating the area where the goods are sprinkled.

 Wow, look at you go – a regular kitchen boss if ever I’ve seen one. Now to focus on making the apron abs and the real abs match a little more closely.
