Warning issued over potential dangers of slushy drinks Earlier this month, parents were warned of the potential dangers of giving their children slushies. This came after one toddler nearly died and several others were rushed to hospital. A grandmother told that her two-year-old granddaughter was left "20 minutes from death" after having a slushy drink at a friend's birthday party. Also, in March doctors blamed slushies for a spate of 21 hospitalisations in children who needed medical care within an hour of consuming the drinks. Brightly coloured slushies are a popular summer treat, often sold at cinemas, corner shops and theme parks when it is hot. But the frozen drinks often contain glycerol, also called E422 or glycerine on some label, as a substitute for sugar to prevent them from freezing solid. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) say kids under seven should not be given the sweet icy drinks, which may contain high levels of a syrup that can be harmful to young children. 2

Prime Day Has Ended, But You Can Still Snag My Favorite All-in-One Kitchen Appliance for 25% Off
Amazon's Prime Day sale has officially ended, but we're spotting some deals that are still live today, including a sweet 25% discount on the Chefman Everything Maker, a clever kitchen gadget that can make almost anything. The normal list price of $60 on the Chefman website already feels like a steal for what this thing does. Which is, well, everything. But the Price Day price brings it down to just $45, which is a steal. (The midnight version is also on sale for 20% off.) Too often, all-in-one kitchen appliances end up doing a lot of things poorly instead of doing one thing well. And, because some models have a lot of components, they can be a nightmare to clean. But the Chefman Everything Maker quickly won me over. The nonstick cooking surfaces heat up quickly and clean up takes minimal effort (a serious win in my book). I've made crispy hash browns, gooey grilled cheese, breakfast sandwiches and perfectly golden pancakes -- all in one compact machine. The Chefman Everything Maker lives up to its name by offering a versatile, all-in-one cooking solution. Macy Meyer/CNET And it's not just a breakfast tool. I've used it for late-night quesadillas and quick lunches more times than I can count in the past few weeks. The design is intuitive, easy to store upright (although I rarely put it away) and surprisingly durable. No extra bells and whistles here. It's just a well-made, easy-to-use appliance that works every time. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. How I use my Everything Maker Macy Meyer/CNET The Chefman Everything Maker lives up to its name by offering a versatile, all-in-one cooking solution that fits easily on a countertop. With a 12-inch nonstick cooking surface and a slim, compact design, it's well-suited for small kitchens or anyone looking to simplify meal prep. I've found it particularly convenient for cooking breakfast foods like eggs and pancakes with the lid open, then switching to grilled sandwiches or quesadillas with the lid closed. It also heats quickly and evenly, reaching up to 428 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius), which is enough for searing, sautéing or even light grilling. I made a summer flatbread (with burrata, pesto and prosciutto) over the weekend and used the Everything Maker to lightly sear some peaches to add as a topping. They came out perfectly. Cleanup is another strong point. The nonstick surface wipes down easily after use -- no scrubbing or soaking required -- which has made it a reliable go-to for quick weekday meals. The Everything Maker also comes with a digital cookbook featuring 16 chef-crafted recipes, which I've used as inspiration for trying new dishes beyond my usual routine. While it doesn't replace every kitchen tool, the Everything Maker handles a surprising variety of tasks in a compact footprint.
