Its a place where you can buy loads of gadgets for kitchen jobs that any half competent person could do with a knife
It took me a while to realise this and as such I have a drawer full of this crap that is never used

In their defence, their Silicone Frying pan covers have saved me so much grief when cooking Bacon Sarnies - Fat doesn’t spit all over the cooker so I can cook more chips in the Saucepan

I agree with this in many ways, though such gadgetry is by no means confined to Lakeland. Back in the day, I always used a garlic crusher to crush garlic (well, duh!), but nowadays I squash it with the flat of a knife blade and then chop it up. Does the job just as well and there’s no sticky crusher to wash afterwards, just a knife.
But some gadgets are well worth having. I could do with a mincer, for example - making rissoles recently took one fuck of a lot of chopping of cooked lamb, veg etc. Lakeland’s model looks pretty decent I think. And this evening I’ve made my first meal using this little beauty (not Lakeland, Marcato):
Check out that tagliatelle. It’s also got spaghetti and ravioli attachments. I really wouldn’t fancy making pasta purely by hand.
