Used to have a coffee maker...coffee was always cold and a soda stream.
wasnt too impressed with that either.

We have an electric carving knife OH uses all the time. a bread maker we use in fits and starts, a Kenwood Chefette which is 42 uears old which still gets used occasionally and a moulineaux mixer which also gets used very occasionally (I don't bake these days). A coffee machine that OH uses to froth up milk for our instant coffee.

We used our sandwich maker for years then replaced it with a fancier version which I chose because of the easiness of cleaning. It is so big no-one uses it any more!

I had seven electric carving knives as wedding presents 27 years ago! All gone now, thank goodness, mostly as gifts to others.

I have a hand mixer I use all the time.

I have a posh coffee machine I don't know how to use.

The gadgets my OH calls 'under the sink must haves'. i.e. You must have them and within a few days they are stowed away in a cupboard under the sink until they are given/thrown away.

We got rid of our deep fat fryer, and sandwich maker, I am sure there are other things as well, just can't remember at the moment!

Gwyn, I got rid of mine too, I bought an Actifry, you only use approx 1 tablespoon of oil, we do roasties , chips, wedges, they are great no fat to throw away,and no smells,you can do other stuff with it but havent tried them yet....slow cooker we use a lot too...bread maker dont use as much as we should but I do like it....

my hubby's a gadget freak

i usually deposit them in his garage within a week

I must get rid of the deep fat fryer,
I don't think I've ever used it, although others in the house have, but not for at least 4 years.
It was a raffle prize. OH swapped the duvet that we'd won, for the fryer, ... WHY?

My worste ones are makeup glasses....cant see with them on,not strong enough for me.
The new JML mop, not as good as it looks on tv.

Simple gaget's I like are a hook that goes over the door and I hang my ironed shirts etc on it as i do them.
And the wee clips you put on the line to let you clip your hangers on.

Pretty boring things really lol

Goodness Jean..... I have drawers full of *must have* useless bits of gadgetry.... hubby bought me a tablet.... it is something to do with photography and computers, daren't chuck it, but had it a few years now, and never figured out how to use it, lol

Then there was the George Foreman grill... with a pokey little dish which caught all the fat.... well, I did one particular make of sausages, and the worktop flooded with the overflowing fat.... I couldn't get them cleaned and under fast enough.... then the fish would burn on the outside but was raw in the middle.... vegetables were never ever successful..

A sandwich maker....... useless piece of kit!

Electric knife.... I never could get on with it.

A diddly little electric hotplate that was meant to put your coffee or tea onto... and it would stay hot if you forgot to drink it straight away...

I am sure there are loads more!!

Love

Daff xxxx
