Most useless kitchen gadget? Your nominations please...

[Emsman]

Clearing the house out as I am renting it.

Cupboards full of stuff i couldnt even remember i had.

Whats the most useless in yours??

Top of the list for me so far is the JML wonder slicer thingy bought years ago by a mad auntie who's sole reason was "she knows i like lettuce"


Erm, thanks for that.

[Steamer]

In the kitchen? Me.

Where's the guy from the LED thread with the butter melting device?

[Ganglandboss]

Anything calling itself a 'Health Grill'. Crappy bits of tat that squash your sausages and stripe your bacon whilst simultaneously coating your worktops with liquid fat while you attempt to replace the woefully inadequate drip tray with a saucer as it begins to overflow.

Brevilles are pretty st too.

Various coffee making devices.

Some sort of fruit juice maker (wedding present). Used once, pain in the arse to take apart & clean. Hidden away in the back of a cupboard ever since.

[Emsman]

fkiing hell, i have just found a Sodastream, a Mr Frosty (although this will be going to my son when i see him next) and some form of rotating cheeseboard with magnetic knives.

Nice.

Where does it all come from

[Ahhh Moneypenny]

one of those Jamie Oliver marinade shaker things whats wrong with a bowl and spoon ffs!! tards

[7mike]

No, changed my mind at least the juice thing is out of site. The bread maker that's still out & gathering dust.

[grumbledoak]

Seldom used, but not useless: the juicer, the ice cream maker, the fondue pot.

But, my Kenwood mixer/blender thingy came with 100 attachments, many of which are still in their packaging. I'm not even sure what some of them do, so they definitely count. And, my fridge has an egg-holder for six eggs that sits in the door. Why? They come in a little box?

Anything you bought after watching an in store video.

Not really gadgets but we've got 2 woks that have been in the cupboard for 3 years and never been used. My sister's breadmaker hasn't seen the light of day either.

A very expensive coffee machine currently languishes in the larder.

Meanwhile the £9.99 espresso pot goes through a seal about every 6 months.

Still, you live and learn eh?

I have a clay garlic baker - for baking whole garlic clusters in. It is still in it's box, not even been opened.

On the off-chance that I do ever invite a vampire round for dinner, I'm sure I could manage to bake the garlic in a normal oven...

[E31Shrew]

Cant see for the life of me why we have a britta water jug thingy. Seems to sit in the fridge when we remember to fill it and never gets used

Yes, and if you take the little tray out then the box will fit in the door. It's almost as if the fridge door compartment was designed to hold a box of eggs...

Its even more confounding than that.

Eggs have no business being in the fridge, they go off quicker due to the shell being porous and when cold becomes more porous.

So why would you go to the trouble of creating an egg holder for a fridge.

Barmy madness.

[Legmaster]

I've got an egg boiling machine that takes longer to boil eggs than it does in a saucepan on the stove top so rarely gets used. That's why it's in the under-stairs cupboard of doom, darkness and disarray...

My Gaggia is bust - what make and how much?

[Mr Dave]

Pizza Cutters?

Why? I have a knife.
