Today we salute Eddingtons who have provided more than their fair share of products for us to review over the years, many of which will now be joining the other products in our charity auction. Here's a quick roundup of a very small selection of what they have to offer (don't forget all this and more can be yours at the end of the month so keep em peeled).

The Diablo



In essence ‘The Diablo’ is a toaster which you place on the hob to create all manner of creations. More than just a humble sandwich toaster it also allows you the pleasure of using rye, pita breads, tortillas and pastry to create even more advanced creations than I ever thought possible as a child. To get your mind flowing a list of recipes is included that teach you how to make pizza, burittos, and even apple pies. Full Review

Rub Away


Sometimes it’s easy to be a cynic and with the Rub-Away I’ve got to admit I had my doubts. A bar that can take away bad odors from your hands including onion, garlic and diesel oil smells? At first I thought it wasn't working, but on adding a little soap was pleased with the results. The ideal way to remove smells from your hands before a romantic meal. Full Review

And not forgetting the Squirrel Nut Cracker acquired on Day One:

Squirrel Nut Cracker

Life is strangely poetic at times. After seeing the Nutcracker ballet I was chuffed when a mere few days later an actual Nutcracker should pop through the door from Eddingtons. Even better I’d missed out on buying a Nutcracker at the show so this product was already in my good books on arrival. Full Review

And some brand new products as well:

Mu Products


A couple of interesting items here. First the Mu Cloth which is a two in one dish cloth. Comprising of a dishcloth with a built it scrubber it allows you to wash your dishes and then get stuck in to the tough bits without the need to switch back and forth. Also rather neat is Mu Bamboo a dishcloth made 80% from natural bamboo. It feels the same as a normal dishcloth but is an interesting gift for a fan of eco friendly products.

Compost Pail



Eddingtons also provided a rather neat kit to make your own compost, unfortunately that's exactly what we did prior to starting this auction. It turned out great, although you do have to decide when to stop adding in food, and when to wait for it to turn (otherwise you get compost at the bottom and leftover veg on top getting in the way). Oh and a smell filter stopped our kitchen spelling disgusting as well.

The only health and safety question is whether we can give it away now. Let us know in the comments, do you want to also win the compost we made? Perhaps not...

Thanks Eddingtons!

Where can I buy one? Eddingtons
I'm in the blagback auction.

Life is strangely poetic at times. After seeing the Nutcracker ballet on Saturday I was chuffed when a mere few days later an actual Nutcracker should pop through the door from Eddingtons. Even better I’d missed out on buying a Nutcracker at the show so this product was already in my good books on arrival.

Although it doesn’t match the toy soldier nut cracker of the show, it instead takes the shape of a silver squirrel whose mouth is ready for some serious biting. You simply pop in the nut (in to a rather large cavity which is a relief for big brazil nuts) move the squirrels tail to apply force and voila the nut is cracked. Any bits left inside the mouth can be swept out or pushed down to fall out of the backside of the squirrel in a rather amusing touch.

The squirrel nut cracker also seriously packs the cute chic factor, with a nice stainless steel shine that will make it fit in with any other appliances you have to offer (well unless they’re white). It comes well packaged and would make an excellent gift for anyone that is in need of a unique touch for their kitchen.

Oh and it works well too. We tried it on a bag of almonds, brazil nuts and monkey nuts, all of which were quickly crushed under its mighty jaws. Cleaning was as simple as sticking a finger in the mouth (don’t worry it’s not sharp in any way) and flicking the excess bits away. Handy and effective.
