Whats the most useless kitchen item you`ve bought?

OOOooooooo

i had forgotten all about the chipper thing. I was given a second hand one way back in the seventies, got used for a while but got lost in housemoving. I liked it except there were a lot of wee bits! but the chips were more uniform in size overall!! (That caused less fights between the children!!).

i dont think I have any useless gadgets....if I found something was not getting it would be sent to the charity shop.

I LOVE my breadmaker ....yepits a panasonic, slow cooker and steamer. Microwave is getting used less and so is my iron as I fold up things and they are well flat by the time I get to iron them!!!

Jar opener thing given to me, by soon to be, octogenerian mother is becoming more useful year by year!!!

Please someone keep me away from kitchen gadget shops....

Definitely the pasty press! We felt sorry for the Betterware man that came round regularly. He was elderly and kind of relied on the money. Used them twice, but since then they have just cluttered up the kitchen cupboards (about 13 years!)

oooh, yes, forgot I had one of those hiden away (probably behind the breadmaker that has the plug nicked for something else!!) :rotfl:

Looked fab, but didn't do the biz!!

Have to also confess to buying one of the electric cork removers for a gift two years ago. Saw it used unsuccessfuly once and I've seen it ever since banished to their spare room!

I love the Betterware guy, I must be one of his best customers although I do pick and choose what I want carefully. I find they are much cheaper than Lakeland too. This month I bought a Potato bag (mine keep turning green as I have nowhere dark to store them) a bread bag. some clippits for my new fleece underblanket and a fantastic machine sewing kit which has about 30 spools of thread along with the matching colours already threaded onto bobbins

I like plain popcorn - very healthy, but have been known to add sugar or HM 'toffee' to it.

we call that 'caramel corn' in the states and i'm rather partial to it too

i also like to melt butter and mix in a few garlic granules or lightly butter then sprinkle on some cheese powder from a cheese sauce packet

mmmmmm

thanks for the tip, i'll have to see if i have something i can use for this :T

I melted some butter and honey and poured over last time I made popcorn- was very tasty.
