Whats the most useless kitchen item you`ve bought?

A fancy vegetable peeler that a guy made look soooo easy to use at a demo fair. Sit's in the drawer as I can't work out how to use the silly thing.:o

Nelski

Fondue Maker

one of them things advertised on the tv in the 80s that would cut and chop anything and everything - really hope someone can remember the name of it cos its bugging me

a smoothie maker which i havent actually used yet

I would say my OH but he came for free.

I think it would be the deep fat fryer, I never use it.

I could also say the GF grill, but i love it, just cant be bothered to take it out all the time

I'm with SNOWYOWL on this one. Got a cheap (£10) juicer from Argos care of a shop and scan voucher so free really. While I LOVE the juice its take ages to make, the pulp is all inside the machine and it takes such a long time to wash. I've only used it 3 times. Do you think a more expensive one would fare better or are they all crap??

EDIT-Sorry MOGGINS, a case of mistaken identity-my fault:o

eh, am I ghost posting again? I do have a juicer but I love mine, it only cost me £5 from a bootsale but it's one of the expensive ones that Asda had in. It's dishwasher friendly and so easy to clean, usually just a quick rinse under the tap is enough.

The worst thing I have in my kitchen is a Smoothie maker but luckily I won that in a competition and I can see it heading for the bootsale soon.

SORRY MOGGINS!!!!! I got the names mixed up-DOH! Reading your post hasmade me think about keeping my eye out for a dearer juicer though. I do love the juice(as do the kids) but its such a faff to clean.

A melon baller.

A boiled egg topper - doesn't work (Luckily only cost £1.99)

Another vote for an electric juicer. What a waste of money and space! Awful, noisey thing that is hard to put together, hard to take apart, awful to clean and just a big mistake. Mine is waiting to be freecycled.
