I made popcorn in a pot, on the stove, with a tiny bit of olive oil and my SIL was very surprised that popcorn could be popped that way. <br /><br />We have no microwave - never felt the need for one - and are constantly amused by the question 'but how do you heat things up?'

It's red, beautiful, and makes mixing butter icing, fluffy frosting and meringue so much quicker and easier. There are some quite elaborate birthday cakes requested in this house and after spending a great deal of time mixing six quantities of butter icing one year I decided that a decent stand mixer was the way to go.<br /><br />Our dust collecter is the waffle iron.
