Review - The Jamie Oliver Survival Kit
I have just road tested the Jamie Oliver Survival Kit by Tefal.
It arrived well packaged with great images illustrated on the box of Jamie giving ideas for use in his usual cool laid back manner.
The styling was funky blue camouflage which added a bright spot of colour to my cooking!
I was expecting a smaller set more like a tranger camping pan set but was pleasantly surprised as the set was full size and of great quality. Not at all flimsy, this set is sturdy and will definitely last for some time. The quality was good and I liked the various sizes of pan which are suitable for making a whole meal. This set has multiple talents as it comes with a Wok 26cm, a frying pan 26cm and a saucepan with a grill effect base 20cm and 2 glass lids to see your food cooking 20cm & 26cm.
This is a robust pan set to use in the kitchen, though a little bulky for travelling. It took a hammering in my kitchen and I liked the fact the handle was removable as there were no handles poking out and getting hot on the hob. It really is suitable for both entertaining and everyday use.
The heat spot is a nice touch which goes red when at the correct temperature for cooking, as is the removable handle, this feature takes a bit of getting used to as it doesn’t release until you move your fingers away from the release at the back, I wonder too whether it will scratch the not sick coating off the pans. It was strong and sturdy. I have to confess I wouldn’t use the pan from hob to table though as Jamie shows in his picture even though the pan can withstand very high temperatures.
The stacking of all the pans inside /all together is a neat little idea which took me a while to figure out at first as the instructions did not illustrate this clearly, however once fitted inside each other the set took up little space and the silicon rubber seals around the lids ensured there was no rattling around. I’m not sure they would travel well however as there was nothing to keep the top secured to the bottom pan. A strap or clasp would be handy.
For all those environmentally friendly cooks out there this comes up trumps as you can use it straight to the table and for storing food in the fridge without having to use separate dishes.
This set is excellent for students, cooking fanatics and novices not to mention boat/caravan owners where space is of a minimum.
A nice house warming gift or wedding pressie – A real practical choice.
Tefal and Jamie Oliver have pulled this off, well done a definite 8 out of 10.
Thanks to guys from hackthekit.co.uk for sending us the Jamie Oliver Survival Kit to check out.
It is available online now from Amazon UK for £69.97 (about $140).

Acoustic Energy Aego M Speakers
I was looking for some 2.1 speakers for my LCD TV; I didn’t want to go the route of a separate receiver, speaker’s etc due to limited space.
These speakers are designed to be used with an iPod and other MP3 players, but I had read a couple of review’s over at avforums.com so I decided to buy a pair to see if they were any good.
A few cables to plug in and they were ready to go. I have to say I am very impressed with them, the clarity and depth of sound is amazing, even at high levels there is no distortion.
For a sub £100 2.1 set of speakers you can’t go wrong, there is also a 3rd speaker input if you want to add a centre speaker.
Check out the full spec on them here

Microsoft Vista 30 days after install
Its exactly 30 days since I installed Vista on my PC, I have to say I was a little nervous about doing it at first. I downloaded the Microsoft Vista Upgrade Advisor and ran it, everything seemed to go ok and the report showed only a few minor software issues, so I decided to go for it.
I scoured the web for information on Vista after reading many articles and tips I decided to buy Vista Home Premium 32 Bit edition, I managed to get myself an OEM copy from Microdirect for about £74 including the VAT & Delivery.
It arrived the next day, I had already backed up all my data, so I decided to do a clean install, I booted my PC, ran the interactive setup, formatted the PC’s hard drive and began the install. It took about 30 minutes, I rebooted and was ready for the usual problems that you get with a fresh install of XP, I have to say I was more than a little surprised, all my hardware was there and everything seemed ok. Here’s the spec of my PC, nothing spectacular:- Read more
