Zara McDermott is 'obsessed' with £30 Ninja blender that's a 'game changer'
The Ninja Stackable Professional Chopper is a multi-functional kitchen gadget that allows you to chop, mince and puree ingredients with ease - and it's available for under £30 Even seasoned cooks are on the lookout for kitchen hacks to slice their prep time, and Zara McDermott has just shared her latest obsession: the Ninja Stackable Professional Chopper. Retailing at an accessible £29.99, Zara demonstrated the chopper's skills whilst making a steak ciabatta recipe in video posted on Instagram, captioning it with: "I made chimichurri in my new food processor as well (I'm obsessed with new kitchen gadgets)". Compact enough to stash away without taking up space, the Ninja Stackable Professional Chopper offers a seamless experience in dicing, mincing, and puréeing, bypassing the need for tedious knife work. Far from mashing your mixtures, it provides a finely chopped output that can handle anything from veggies to herbs with flawless execution. Made with Ninja's precision-engineered blades, this device gives you the perfect consistency and is complemented by two containers that snugly stack on top of each other. These pots double up as both serving bowls and practical storage solutions, and come complete with lids. Plus, all detachable parts are fully dishwasher safe for hassle-free cleaning. You can grab the Stackable Chopper not only on Amazon but also straight from the Ninja website. If you're looking for something even more wallet-friendly, Lakeland is offering the OXO Good Grips Mini Chopper for £24.99. In a similar style to the Ninja model, the Matte Black Food Chopper is enjoying a price cut in Dunelm's sale, slashing from £22 to £17.60 reports OK!. The Ninja Stackable Professional Chopper has gotten stellar feedback from consumers – one Amazon customer dubbed it a: "A game-changer for quick and easy meal prep." Echoing this sentiment, another added: "Powerful little chopper-great for everyday use!" There was a slight gripe from a user who noted: "Well designed and I particularly like the way the chopping container turns into a storage container simply. It's quite noisy when in use, but does a good job at chopping uniformly. The only negative is that the blade is difficult to remove without spilling stuff everywhere and it's very sharp and difficult to clean." Over at the Ninja site, a different buyer explained: "Struggle these days with chopping vegetables so after seeing this mentioned on a disability group I thought I'd purchase one. Highly recommended - does everything really easily! Be careful though - blades are SO sharp - lightly touched one in error!!" And yet another reviewer praised: "Easy to use,great quality and easy to clean. It's really handy that it comes with two pots."

Aldi confirms return of viral beer dispenser for under £25 ahead of Father's Day
Treat dad to the ultimate pub experience from home with the return of Aldi's viral Specialbuy. Struggling to get dad the right gift ahead of Father's Day on Sunday, June 15? Fortunately, Aldi has come to the rescue with the return of a viral Specialbuy. Let's face it, purchasing a gift for any man can often pose quite the challenge, which is why it is lucky that the supermarket is set to stock an entire selection of items that most guys will appreciate from this Sunday, June 1. This includes the return of last year's sell-out sensation, the Ambiano Beer Dispenser, allowing dad to recreate the beloved pub experience of enjoying a few cold pints from home. A viral hit when it first launched back in 2024, the Ambiano Beer Dispenser "transforms ordinary canned or bottled beer into an exciting draught experience", allowing dads to enjoy the perfect pour at home. It is suitable to use with beer can sizes 330ml, 350ml, 440ml and 500ml. It comes complete with a three-year warranty, which means it is covered for any damage within that time, all it needs to work is two AA batteries. Costing just £24.99, it offers a much more affordable option than similar gadgets on the market such as Lakeland's Fizzics DraftPour Beer Dispenser that offers a very similar size, but for £129.99, making it £105 more expensive than Aldi's Specialbuy. Meanwhile, another affordable option on the market would be this Draft Wizard Ultrasonic Frothing Beer Dispenser from Menkind, which is also suitable for 300ml cans for £59, which is over £34 more expensive than Aldi. It's not the only ideal gift for Father's Day that is set to land in the supermarket's middle aisle this Sunday, as shoppers will be able to find an assortment of items to provide some inspiration ahead of time. For the men who love a spot of breakfast, there will be the Drew & Cole Sandwich Maker, also £24.99, that can be used to create a range of tasty muffin-style sandwiches without the fuss of using multiple dishes that need washing up. With its sleek, space-saving design, it can fit anywhere on a kitchen countertop. To make the perfect sandwich, all shoppers need to do is simply add on a slice of bread, add in their fillings of choice, before adding on another slice of bread and cook for five minutes. Whether dad prefers being in the kitchen or is in need of some new pyjamas, Aldi's upcoming Specialbuys range will have something for everyone ahead of Father's Day on June 15. And with prices ranging from between £34.99 to as low as just 99p, prices remain budget-friendly for anyone who is conscious of spending too much pennies. Aldi's Ambiano Beer Dispenser will arrive in stores from Sunday, June 1. To give shoppers a preview on what will be available, we have detailed below the entire selection of gifts arriving at the same time. Homewares deal of the week With summer on the horizon, you'll be wanting to spend more time in your garden relaxing. To help keep you protected from harmful UV rays, a stylish parasol can really refresh your outdoors space. Fortunately, Asda has just bought back its sell-out item that shoppers can't stop raving over. The supermarket's highly coveted Riviera Stripe Parasol was so popular when it first launched in 2024 that it apparently "sold out in nine weeks." Now, it can be yours for just £59 when you buy it here. The supermarket's summer garden staple is said to "bring a slice of the Riviera into any garden" thanks to its trendy striped canopy and intricate tassel edging that offers a "boho touch" to the design. It's not just a stylish addition to your garden, as the FSC-certified wood pole has a lean function that allows you to tilt the canopy whenever you feel the position sun shift. Meanwhile, the polycotton canopy is said to be "weatherproof", making it suitable for unpredictable UK summers. Since the Riviera Stripe Parasol sold out within just over two months last year, it's expected that it will be popular once again this year. It's also no surprise to hear that it has managed to amass glowing five-star reviews on the George at Asda website. One delighted customer wrote: "I'm blown away by how amazing this product is. I've been wanting to get a patterned parasol with a boho touch for a while, but unwilling to spend the £150+ that they normally are. I thought I'd give this one a go, but didn't expect much for the price. "It is exactly what I wanted. Furthermore it also tips and has a lovely case. It is stylish, good, waterproof fabric and looks like something you would get from a much fancier, 'bespoke' store. I could not recommend it more."
