Top 5 Useless Kitchen Gadgets

June 21st 2009 10:39
As you might know, I love gadgets, and kitchen gadgets are on my list of toys that I like. Naturally, I’ve been a *victim* of those at-that-minute-seemed like-a-great-tool moments which have reaped tools that sometimes turned out to be not too useful in the kitchen.

My top 5 useless kitchen gadgets:

multigrater mincer kitchen tool cooking


1…The Multi Grater – which claims to make grating quick and easy was nothing but a nuisance! It grated OK but whatever you were grating gets stuck more than fall out of the grate.

egg separator kitchen tool cooking

2…The Egg Separator – supposedly helps me to separate the white from the yolk. The gap is always too wide or too narrow... I found using the shells much quicker and effective. It was however, great fun to play with as a kid.



3…Garlic Gadgets – whether the claims are: peel, slice, grate, mince or whatever…I’ve never found any of it to work well!



egg rings kitchen gadget cooking

4…Egg Rings – whoever insisted we need cooked eggs perfectly round?

wine spout pourer stopper kitchen-tool

5…The Wine Spout – it claims to stop wine from *dribbling* down the side of the bottle. OK, it sort of does, but it drips off the spout! I’ve not used it again since trying it out twice.

These are on the way to a local charity...

What useless kitchen gadget(s) do you have lying around?
