Fans of Nigella Lawson know there are some kitchen tools she can’t live without, such as her double mezzaluna, which she uses to prep her herbs and aromatics; her microplane (for grating garlic), per The Kitchn; and a Dash Masha 2X potato masher. “I know it sounds odd to have a machine just for mashing potatoes, but this really does make the best mashed potatoes ever, and my family favors mash over all. It’s not a beautiful implement, but function sometimes trumps form — it mashes and aerates at the same time,” Lawson told the New York Post of the latter gadget in 2018.
To be fair, other than the specialized potato masher, it doesn’t sound like Lawson is into fancy kitchen gadgets. Still, she must have used a few that caught the eye of some fans, who went admitted on Twitter that they went on a shopping spree after watching her cooking show. One fan said: “Caught a snippet of @Nigella_Lawson on Saturday Kitchen this morning doing Shoestring Fries. By 6pm we’d bought a 2nd hand electric spiralizer off Facebook for £5 and then with our dinner with Paprika and Salt. Delicious!” Another fan agreed, tweeting back, “Nigella is responsible for my mezzaluna, my fairy lights, the dishes with a beaded edge and my salt pig. I need a bigger kitchen!”
