It is still in the original box ( I think it has been used once) and has been stored away for a while. It is great to use with up to 8 people ( family or friends) and It is fun to cook meat, seafood, chicken and vegetables on the non stick hot plate or make a Swiss raclette with the individual little pans. There is very little preparation involved. I have printed some recipes in English as the original ones were in Dutch. The plug needs an adapter ( provided) but you may prefer to put a NZ plug on it. $80

Fun-n-gala time! Are you keen to plant natives?

Visit our stall at the Pauatahanui School Lamb & Calf Day on Saturday 7 November and we will swap your weed with a lovely native plant. We will have specimens of pest animals that are threatening our native species and will provide trapping demonstrations. Loads of fun for the kids!

Find out how you can improve the health of our waterways in the Pauatahanui area and inlet. Your efforts can boost biodiversity and reduce sediment levels in our streams through erosion control and planting. Staff will be available to offer advice and help find out if your property could get funding assistance. See you there.
