What's your most unnecessary/useless piece of kitchen equipment?

Mine is also an ice cream maker - probably used twice. Which is more than the yoghurt maker which I've never used ( was given it).

Mind you the chocolate fondue set comes pretty close as well as the pasty press, and not forgetting the coconut pyramid maker and the slow cookers ( yes plural....)

Really MUST stop reading the Lakeland catelogue!

Most useless is the electric steamer, I don't know why I bought it, I've got a saucepan one that I use all the time anyway.

I've just ressurected my food processor that's been in the unused cupboard for 8 years, it's actually quite useful now that I bake more.

Bread maker - hate the taste of the bread out of it

My lot weren't keen on the bread either, now I use it mostly to make the dough for rolls using a normal bread recipe (the one on the side of Sainsbury's bread flour is particularly good) I can't make enough, they love it.

:rotfl: quite.

It's a little clear plastic cone with a plunger on the top. You pack the cone full of the coconut/sugar/eggwhite recipe and use the plunger to push it out on to rice paper ready to bake.

Can I offer up the whole of my kitchen? Hate cooking and domestic 'stuff'....much rather eat out...last time I used my cooker I had to dust it first.

... electric knife, i thought it would help me, rarely used...

Our electric carving knife was rarely used until we discovered that it's perfect for slicing tiger loaves from the bakery. And it works out cheaper and tastier.

The best thing since sliced bread
