What stuff in the kitchen do you HATE, find useless, or a hassle to use?

Re: s/o kitchen stuff

  • I have a food processor I've never used.  And I've only used the blender like twice, both times for margaritas.  Oh also, I used the waffle iron once and somehow messed up the batter so it was too liquidy and it took forever to clean up so I've never used it again.

  • Another vote for the food processor.  I think I used it once and realized it was a lot easier to just chop sh!t up myself.  

    I do love my blender, though, for making smoothies and shakes.

    Brent's been wanting a rice cooker and I don't see the point of it so now it is a definite NO

  • I have a brand new kitchen aid blender I haven't even used! And I hate my floor sifter. I just use a mesh strainer instead.

    That's so funny.  We use our rice cooker all the time.  I haven't figured out the magic formula of water to rice, but DH does it and the rice comes out perfect.  It's nice to just throw it in there, push the button, and not have to worry about it.  It's also really easy to clean after it cools off.

  • I'm not much of a domestic diva funny considering i'm a sahm! oh well. One of these days maybe my inner italian housewife will come out. D does a lot of the cooking around here. I stick to making gravy (yes i call it gravy) & sometimes ill make a baked chicken dish or 2.

    Anyways so i'm not much help here but i'm surprised to hear most of you don't use your blenders. I guess since the only thing i'm good at is making gravy so i use it everytime i make dinner LOL <3

    I'm no true Italian so I can't quite figure out how you make your sauce... But I'm assuming it's to get the chunks out and if that is the case then girl you need an immersion blender!!

  • yeah add me to never used mandolin cutter or my ice cream maker.  Altho my friend made homemade cinnamon ice cream over the weekend to go with some pear pie and it was DIVINE so it may have motivated me but I don't have room in the mothafuuckin freezer.

  • my blender was my BFF when I was making baby food for A, other than that I haven't taken it out much since.  The only use I have for my food processor is chopping chocolate & nuts when I'm baking cookies at christmas time. 

    The most useless item I find right now is my George Forman "lean mean fat reducing grillin' machine".  That was the biggest waste of money ever.  I just use my grill outside in the summer and a saute pan or griddle pan inside.  I need to get rid of that thing b/c it's just taking up space now.

  • blender, hands down.   I use my food processor all the time because I hate to chop stuff.
