So, it’s great for the health-conscious, and this round 360 grill from George Foreman has been designed to not only cook up to seven portions at any one time but also comes with a flat pan to cook a 12-inch pizza.

The best cold-press slow juicer
Fridja F1900 (£169.99)
When it comes to juicing, it’s not all about speed. The Fridja F1900 is in fact a “slow juicer” – sometimes called a “cold press” or “macerator” juicer. These juicers take their time to crush fruit and veg instead of chopping it, which is what the faster centrifugal juicers do. The Fridja F1900 is great for getting the maximum amount of juice from your greens, as well as nuts and seeds. You can chuck in whole fruits and veg, no need to peel or core – you get juice from one end and a dry pulp from the other.

Dualit Classic toasters (from £150)
