Which would you rather have:

Two pastry cutters, one mousse ring, four muffin rings and an egg ring; or:

Two pastry cutters, one mousse ring, four muffin rings, an egg ring, a safety can opener, 1.395kg of tuna and pounds 6.79?

The trick is to buy the tin-opener (a Culinaire Safety Can Opener costing about pounds 6 is needed for this job) then make the other kitchen items out of empty tuna tins (or any other suitably shaped tins with proper rims at the top and bottom). You just remove the tops and bottoms of the tins for your ready-made pastry-cutters, egg rings, mousse rings and muffin rings.

The budget above is based on prices quoted in a current "Chef's Choice" catalogue.
