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

My most useless kitchen gadget would have to be a melon baller, which I "won" at a tupperware party. It makes me laugh as it's a reminder that I actually got coerced into going to a tupperware party

I wonder where absinth's comment went...
I was about to say that, Jason! At least the charity shop can get some money from my *garbage*

I think practically everything I put my hand up for when my parents were moving Really Long Link has proved to be useless - well that is, I haven't had a shot at playing with it yet!!
My other useless appliance is a chocolate fountain. It was an engagement present a number of years back and we haven't ever taken it out of the box.

I'm pretty sure they threw it out when they moved.

Hand-me-downs can be rather useless, huh, Helen. Though I do find that sometimes they're better made. A chocolate fountain! You should try it at least once...could be fun

It's difficult to say 'no' to kitchen gadgets, huh, Wilson. It's always set-out to look so useful!
