Other than that the juicer was one of those things i used for a while and then gave up on, but i have got rid of that now.

Electric toaster and the microwave for me. I don't use either of them.

sorry, should have read on before i posted that!

my useless gadget is two chicken shaped plastic thingies to poach eggs in the microwave. pain to clean, & waste of space in the cupboard, much easier to poach in boiling water!

also, breadmaker, didn't know the loaves came out with a b****y hole in the middle!

Can we include Ex OH's that were completely useless in the kitchin?

Pancake pan. It came with a special measuring plunger to fill with batter to squirt in the pan - that was really messy and ended up with pancake batter everywhere. The pan itself had a hinged lid so that once one side was cooked you didn't need to toss the pancake just turn the pan over and cook it from the other side - unfortunately if you did that the batter fell out of the gap between the pan and the lid and so there was batter everywhere again. I used it once! It was quite possibly the WORST gadget ever. It also came with a pancake mould to make shaped pancakes - guess what? That was rubbish too. It's in the cupboard as I daren't subject anyone else to the horrors of the experience - I might palm it off on someone I don't like one day!

Microwave has gotta be my worst buy.

I just cant see the point. VERY occasionally, I might melt a bit of butter in it when im baking, but otherwise completely pointless.

What a waste of £70
