I had a couple of them given to me by an guy who worked for an outside catering company, after a few years they had to get rid of them as they get a bit tatty looking but still worked perfectly.

I used them for years but as others have said I eventually found I used them less and less. It's easier to do hemp in a cool box, although it's even easier just to buy the stuff ready prepared these days. For other particles I just do them in a big pan. One thing to consider is that I had the big catering ones, they take an absolute age to get to boiling point.

I had a shed clear out last month and chucked them in a skip.

They do a 20 litre version for another£20 if you look around mate.
I have an old burco but I agree with previous post..I can't be bothered with all the faff of storing the sacks and cooking etc and once you have factored in the time and electricity I prefer to buy mail order ready cooked.

I have prepared my own particles in the past.. sometimes on a large scale. I can now buy prepared particles at such low prices that I truly believe it is not worth all the effort and mess doing it yourself.
Invest in a Freezer instead and buy from Monster particles (or similar) when they have their regular sales.

You don't need to use tigers in large quantities, a big saucepan will be fine.

Hi I'm looking to purchase my first boiler as I'm going to be using tiger nuts this year. I have seen one for sale in screw fix for £65 cygnet 10l will this do the job for 2 kilos at a time then I can store or leave them in it?
