Judy! We have that cherry pitter too, and it does do Olives
as well. Just make sure that it is cleaned properly in between, as DD had olive flavoured cherries the other day

[judydawn]

Not likely to be doing olives in this house ES but will remember that if I do LOL.

Would love to know if they work effectively GF. Saw it at Victoria's Basement the other day.

Judy please let me know what you think of the chip maker 

[courton]

Off to POK to buy Swiss fry pans for myself and a non stick pan which is not too expensive for mum - since the last scan pan was ruined when she forgot to turn the hot plate off.
Update:
Have just bought Swiss diamond grill pan and frypan for $162 and a thermolon green pan frypan (which is supposed to be a newer and better version of green pan) for $68. And some beautiful Crane stationery for a friend.

Yvette I tried the chip maker tonight.  I have 2 microwaves - both 1200 watts so I thought it would take less time than the book stated for a 1000 watt machine (3 mins).  I ended up doing 3.5 mins in the newer microwave and although some were crisper than others, I was happy with them.  I then thought I'd try the older machine, same time 3.5 minutes and they were perfect! Crisp and crunchy, every single one of them.  Why then did I buy another microwave when my old one was working perfectly - for some reason I didn't think it was    I sprinkled Himalayan pink salt on them but feel it needs a spicier mixture so will experiment with different salt mixtures I have next time.

2 medium potatoes made 3 batches - DH ate 1 batch and I ate 2

I just bought the 6 in 1 multicooker 

Aldi also have some cheap stamps and stickers for school which will be handy, so I got a few of those which is ok because they are tax deductable...if only cooking supplies were too.

I like salt and black pepper - I have a very flavorful "Comet-tail" pepper that really enhances the potato flavor, both white potatoes and sweet potatoes. 
I used to buy the sea salt and black pepper  potato chips at Trader Joe's  so it was a "natural" selection for me when I made the potato chips with the chip maker.
I had an older "microwave chip maker"  that had slots in which to put the potato slices - it was fiddly and time consuming and I seldom used it, although it did a nice job.  I ended up giving it to a neighbor with several children - the kids don't mind the "fiddly" work of loading the chip maker. 
Then I got the one like you have.

I'm off to The Essential Ingredient in Melbourne today - this will probably make the card sizzle a little.
