How To Turn Your Ordinary Kitchen Utensils Into Modern Electrical Appliances
(extract from Surviving in the 90's by Mona Hatoum)

Easy to follow step by step instructions:

Take your favorite steel colander.
Take a 2-meter length of dual electrical wire for a light bulb.
Separate the cords of the electrical wire for a length of about 50 cm down the middle part.
Cut one of the cords at center point and connect one end of the cut cord to one handle of your steel colander. Connect the other end to the opposite handle. (see diagram)
Fit an electrical plug to one end of the wire and a light fitting and bulb to the other end of the wire. The purpose of the light bulb is to indicate when your appliance is on.
Plug in and enjoy!

NOT RECOMMENDED:
For anyone who hasn't got a clue!
