My top ten useless kitchen gadgets. Buy one for Christmas for the perfect present for the gourmet lover.
Starting at Number 10 we have.....
10 The Garlic Peeler!
Err when a knife won’t do get one of these. Best used a Gonk for
dog treats, or just as a chewy, hours of fun.
9 The Mushroom Slicer!
Are we missing something here, must be! Better used for chopping
kibbles to make sprinkles on your pup-cakes.
8 The Apple Peeler!
Useless and looks more like a piece of torture equipment. Don’t
put your paw near this!
7 Strawberry Huller!
Apparently strawberries need to be hulled before one can enjoy the
delicious fruit. I had no idea! I have been eating strawberries the wrong way
all my life. Shock horror!
6 Shrimp Deveiner!
If you like your shrimp mangled and deformed, this is the gadget
for you. A must have for the discerning flamingos!
5 Melon Baller!
Who has melon balls? Tennis balls, rubber balls, bouncy balls but
MELON BALLS?
4 Pickle Picker!
Don’t get in a pickle buy a pickle picker. Had hours of fun
playing pick the kibbles out of my water bowl.
3 Asparagus Peeler!
Err when a knife won’t do, think we have a recurring theme going
on here. After looking through various cook books we can safely say we have
never come across a recipe that asked for peeled asparagus.
2 Avocado Cuber!
When a slice won’t do cube it! Don’t forget to buy the avocado stone
remover and knife to with the cuber!
And at Number one pop pickers....
1 Banana Slicer!
You’d have be bananas to buy one of these. A must have for all
toothless monkeys!
One cooks trash is another cooks treasure! How many of these do
you have in your kitchen drawers?
Woooooow, God, were do you keep all this stuff?
ReplyDeleteIn my advice it would be "Just stick with the old knife and chopping board!!!

Aaaaaah, miam miam....dinner time here, but we can have our dinner only after the humans !!! Eat, eat, hurry up, mum, we're hungry !!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, what are we going to do without this amazing inventions ^^. Well, I think I'll rely on the good old knife. It enhances the skills and it's a one time cost.
ReplyDeleteNow, as for my favorite cooking invention, that would be the peeler and the potato masher. ^^ Oh, and there's the strainer and the frying pan,too.
Huggies and Cheese,
Haopee
Molly, we've got a garlic press, and wait for it! a MELON BALLER ! In the list of gadgets we buy and never use( it's not really a gadget) but if you asked 100 Brits if thay had one, 99 would say yes, stuck way,way in the back of the cupbaoard. A sandwich toaster!! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
Mollie x
You're so funny Molly! I think my Mom has all of those tools too. Does she use any of them ~ NOPE!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Lily Belle
MOL Mom has a slicer for hard boiled eggs..she isn't sure where it came from but for some reason cannot part with it. FYI she has never used it. Have you ever seen one? If not we'll send you a pic. MOL
ReplyDeleteGreat and very thought provoking post which made us smile
Hugs Madi your BFFF
Well, I do kind of like my shrimp mangled so maybe I'll give #6 a try!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Apple peeler, sure looks evil!! Don't have one at home, luckily!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun week,
Cotton
Bwhahahahaha...oh my gosh, dis is good stuff! But I has a question...who actually eats asparagus, shrimp, mushrooms, and garlic? Oh, well my mum don't really cook so her needs no of dis stuff...hehehe. We does have a KAY SAY DE-UH maker but it has nevers seen da light of day.
ReplyDeleteDa banana thing is too funny!
Pudldes
Oh, whatever happened to the simple life: hot bread, cold butter, melting in the crevices... YUM!
ReplyDeleteWow, Molly - you sure do have a lot of culinary gadgets!
ReplyDeleteI think I might like to chew on #10 - BOL :)
Stewey
That is beyond crazy stupid. Bawhahhahaha. A banana knife.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Hey Molly what about that horrible noisy thing that grinds our toenails down to nothing.....geez!! Humans are a funny race aren't they.
ReplyDeleteMama ended up using the melon baller once. She was so amazed she had inherited one. She didn't even know she had one until her MIL told her what it was in the draw.
ReplyDeleteHey, como você é lindo!!! Minha mamãe tinha um cão igual você quando ela era pequena!!!

Hey Molly!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a crazy collection of weirdness! I avoid fruit and veggies at all costs, then I don't need that stuff. My Mom has that melon-baller and never uses it...ever. She gave that pickle picker to Frankie's Mom and she actually uses it all the time! Both of them have that garlic peeler and love it! Crazy, isn't it?!? Very fun post and you gave me a huge chuckle!
Grr and a Laughing Woof,
Sarge, COP
I am proud to say Miz Molly, that the only thing I have is that garlic peeler that was given to me by a die hard Italian friend....BUT I LOATHE THE THING! THANK YOU for showing us how ridiculous some things can be!!!! Anita
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Such funny (and silly) inventions! We had to laugh at the banana slicer. What else would they think of?
ReplyDeleteWow if it weren't for your post, I wouldn't know there are all these gadgets out there. But I think I will buy the heated butter knife ;) I hate holes in my bread.
ReplyDeleteBohh number 8 ASPARAGUS PEELER is the best there is!!
ReplyDeleteI have this, I love my asparagus peeler ...
And number 5, I need to all parties, from butter to form fine grapes ...
OK the rest you can forget real ...
greetings from Sylvia

Bohh nummer 8 ist der beste SPARGELSCHÄLER den es gibt!!!
Ich habe so einen,ich liebe meinen Spargelschäler...
Und Nummer 5 brauche ich zu allen Festen, um aus Butter schöne Weintrauben zu formen...
OK den Rest kannst du echt vergessen...
liebe Grüße von Sylvia
None!! but Mom is on the look out for the plug in butter dish that keeps it at the right spreadable temperature, will let you know if she gets one.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week
See Yea George xxx
BOL, too funny, Molly. We have one of those apple peelers and Mom agrees, totally useless!!! And about that butter - we only have REAL butter here, none of that soft margarine - Just put the butter out for a few minutes and then slice it thinly, put it on the bread and be patient - it will spread easily.
ReplyDeleteMelon balls??? Hmmm, don't think we could play fetch with those very well - BOL
Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
Correction: Well Mom discovered that lo and behold she did finally toss out the boiled egg slicer.....but she does still have 3 egg yoke separators. Why? She rarely separates egg white from yoke. MOL
ReplyDeleteAnyway the boiled egg slicer was stainless steel, bottom was shaped like an egg,the top had 4 wires on a stainless steel frame and a handle. As you lowered the top it cute the egg into 4 sections.
Hugs Madi
We have a kitchen gadget problem in our house.
ReplyDeleteNora
Daddy calls those things UNITASKERS and they are banned from our kitchen, MOL!
ReplyDeleteSome silly things for sure. Peeps can be goofy sometimes!
ReplyDeleteYour friends,
Murphy and Stanley
Whoa! We don't hve any of these, thank Bast.
ReplyDeleteHeated butter knife - oh my Dog, we've heard everything now!
ReplyDeleteDip Bridge and Elliot x
You are so right! All those "inventions" are useless!
ReplyDeleteOoops!
Kisses and hugs
