Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker, Red Hot

Product Information

Kardemummakaka is normally served plain with a good cup of coffee, but occasionally it is accompanied by a little whipped cream and some fresh fruit. John Duxbury Summary

Freya - You know, I don't know. It looks like the one he "mentions" in his book "Cook With Jamie." I wonder if they realized it's foibles and thought they could offload it over here? Here's another product review from Matt Powell, junior at Columbia University in the City of New York and GHRI intern: I think it’s a shame that fame and fortune has corrupted Jamie Oliver but he’s not the first and he won’t be the last. I poured in about ten whole cloves and shook the canister for two minutes. It was fun, and my arms got a good work-out. (Although I bet the people in the other Good Housekeeping Research Institute How on earth jamie Oliver, or whoever really invented this potentially lethal piece of garbage,has not been prosecuted , either under trade descritions act or dangerous goods act, amazes me. The broken shards of plastic I found in my shaker could easily have caused fatal damage.Remove from sale now, before there is a fatality .DONT BUY IT. Mine arrived a few hours ago and the seal came off during the first few shakes and left my counter and hands in a right old mess. Tony Diggs says: “The concept is good. The delivery not so much. Mine broke after very few uses. The threads crossed and that was it. This was several years ago. Maybe they’ve fixed it.” [They haven’t Tony]

In the grand universe of kitchen gadgets, I categorise Jamie Oliver’s Flavour Shaker as a toy: cute, friendly and plastic. Now that I’ve had a chance to use it, I’m glad I didn’t actually buy it. There are too many annoying things about it: the guide arrows don’t align; it takes too long to get a mediocre grind, and cleaning it is more than a pain. Swedes normally grease the inside of the Bundt with butter and then dust it with dried breadcrumbs, but you can use baking spray (NOT cooking spray) if you prefer. Sorry to hear that. One of the sad realities of meeting renowned or famous people is that they rarely live up to expectation and, in some cases, turn out to be complete arseholes. Most people off the TV fit into this category in my experience. I really don’t understand why is everybody against it. Nice idea bad implementation I agree. So since it is not good enough let’s fix it. I got inspired but the flavour shaker and made my own, simple as this ! And yes it doesn’t cost me 20 GBP and it does close much better. I do believe that sometimes the people miss the bigger picture. Just because Jamie or any other muppet wanted to charge this amount, it doesn’t mean that you have to go and get it !A brilliant idea let down by one critical and possibly leathal problem…the plastic used in its construction is too fragile and rigid for the task at hand!
