I haven't seen it, will trot along in a minute & take a look but couldn't a slow cooker do the job & a hand blender? Just taken a look, still don't want one. At least with slow cooker & blender if a part breaks you only have to replace something that costs £30 ish at most. If that goes you're looking at a major outlay.

Does anyone use their George Foreman or similar grills? My Aunt offloaded hers onto me after a couple of uses, I used it once & shoved it in the cupboard. I then kindly offered it to everyone I know, who all answered along the lines of, I've got one of those somewhere. I put it on freecycle & was inundated with responses, I will keep watching to see if it's passed on again.

I do use mine, but only for toasted sandwiches or burgers! but it wasn't a George, it was a cheaper version that hubby picked up for £7, so I don't feel so bad about not using it more.

The most useless item we bought was an electric steamer. The stupid one we bought you had to assemble all three sections everytime in order to use it, you couldn't have just one layer as the lid didn't fit it and it took ages to cook anything. It was so much more faff and washing up than using saucepans we gave it away.

How much :eek:
I think I will give that one a miss it will go on the list of the most unused gadgets ever along with the crepe maker that I saw in Aldi today for £35:rotfl:
Honestly they are really pushing the boat out on the useless gadgets front. Glad we are all savvy enough not to fall for it but I bet a lot of people will - probably those with money to burn and huge kitchens with plenty of cupboard space, more fool them :rotfl::rotfl:

Ok this is my favourite forum to lurk and read and learn so I thought I might share this little gem from an email I have just received from La***and - now don't get me wrong there are things that I really like about this company and I have in the past bought things from them but I could n't believe this when I saw it -

Wait for it.........................An Electric soup maker!......................:rotfl:

Its a glorifed blender with a heating element - for £138

I was so gobsmacked I had to watch the video!

Whats wrong with a saucepan and a cheap hand blender?


Yep another thing to sit on the kitchen shelf along with the icecream maker..........the doughnut maker ................ popcorn maker.......the jam maker............

but there again it might be of use to some people I suppose:o

I thought exactly the same thing when i received the email from Lakeland today. How pathetic. A glorified blender. Whoopee!

i saw one of these. now personally i'd never use it, but i can see how it would be useful to some. but i think thats a very small market, tbh.

Sounds more useful to me than a strawberry slicer! But at least the strawberry slicer cost under a tenner...

Lakeland have a coffee bean roaster for £150. It only roasts 300g at a time and the green beans are really expensive and in a year or two if they stop selling it getting hold of more green beans will be difficult.

How about their electric jam maker for £100?

I'm sure Lakeland were selling a sort of TV system for the kitchen last year which was designed to download special recipe videos from the web. It seems to have disappeared and presumably is now useless?
