Both Karen and I have bought things for the kitchen that are rarely used, generally because they are more faff than doing it by hand, take huge amounts of cleaning afterwards, or don’t actually do what they say on the tin.

One success story, however, has been our low fat grill, or the George Formby, as we call it. The original one has now worn out and we have updated it with one with a temperature control and removable plates.

There was a spoof USB grill and now an iGrill which can do all sorts. But can it clean windows?
