Top 7 kitchen picks from a MKR contestant

My Kitchen Rules fever has taken hold and we can’t get enough! The kitchens on tele are running as hot as the ones at home and it’s inspiring to invest in some new bits. 

Kane Lillywhite knows the pressure of the cook (he was in season 2!) and is all about quality kitchen utensils to get the job done. Here are some of his (and our!) faves…

“A sturdy chopping board is a great time-saver in the kitchen, and it’s much safer. I prefer a wooden chopping board – for me, I feel that I get an easier cut on wood,” says Kane, who used enough of them in his time on My Kitchen Rules. 

These are only $69.99 and can be bought here. 

“It completes your chef look with a snazzy favourite apron… You’ll also protect your nice dinner party clothes.”

One like this’ll set you back $49.95 from here. 

“A sturdy chopping board is a great time-saver in the kitchen, and it’s much safer. I prefer a wooden chopping board – for me, I feel that I get an easier cut on wood.”

A little bit of chicness won’t cost you much. At $29.99, you can grab one here. 

“Peeling garlic is my least favourite job in the kitchen, even below washing dishes! Put your time to better use – this peeler is great because you can put the garlic cloves in with the skin on – it even discards the skin for you!”

Wave ‘goodbye’ to stinky fingers for days to the tune of $24.95, from here. 

“I like to use plastic spatulas, stirrers and spoons so that I don’t scratch my pots – no metallic instruments are allowed near my pots! These are fun and add some colour to the kitchen.”

There’s method behind using plastic and it doesn’t cost a fortune! Check out your own right here. 

“Never use a tea towel to get hot dishes out of the oven! I always have an oven glove on hand to protect a cooks most precious asset – their hands!”

Safety first! And it doesn’t cost the earth. Get your own here.
