Made with a good Barossa red of course. I would have to be all but comotose with mulled wine to get on a plane headed for even a hint of snow.

my neighbour swears by it....will give it a go....couldn't be any worse than a roller!

My dad swears by this too! I will be very interested in your thoughts too Maddy as the new house needs some paining done ... I don't much like the colour scheme but it is liveable.  Moving day is tomorrow  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Will give you & Jam an opinion when I start  ;)
I watched it in action on tvsn, and it looks so easy.   I think the key is not to apply heavy pressure...which will make a nice change from using a roller.  

....and Goodluck for the move Faffa....how exciting  8)

Took my varoma to a homeware store just now. They sell relatively cheap pots, plates, kitchen gadgets etc.

Bought a few stainless steel plates, a little pot and a stand to raise the plate (in order not to block the vents). Measured the items to make sure they fit into the varoma.



Planning to steam vege, meat etc on the plates and pot. Easier to clean then the varoma itself :)

More for cooking on the varoma, Gert. I won't bother changing plates when I serve food to the family. Stainless steel should also help with heat transfer when steaming.

Lovely CC, you will see the one you had made for me still on display in the lounge room when you come over. It is very special to me.
