Most pointless kitchen gadget?

[Chef Chessie]

I have dibs on the bloomin onion maker...lol...just kidding...really i am...really

[donnie27]

Chessie you sure have your thinking cap on today........you nailed that one......So April 1st it is.....
I did once .. ..have a flat whisk and it is nice to reach into the inside edges of pans...the round ones always miss the little corners. But, it must not have been that great, because I haven't seen it in a few years..

You can have the blooming onion maker.

WARNING........EVERYONE ....ALERT......!! Just saw Billy Mays again......has the Buddy Steamer. Are your clothes wrinkled ? Well run as fast as you can.......because you may be buying a new gadget.........kitchen or not......I think we all have the virus and it could extend to other rooms. Just warning you all that we are being tempted again....

[Karen Elizabeth]

Oh no, I saw a clothes/steamer in the shops, and thought, hey, cool....... no, I didn't buy it!!!

My friend has a flat whisk..... but she doesn't cook! So we'll never know how effective it might be! I've tried using it.. (sometimes I cook at her house), but I didn't care for it at all, I like my 'balloon' whisk!

Guys, I'm wishing you all a wonderful, happy and safe, festive season and a happy New Year ... I'm on Christmas break now, and am not likely to come in much before 5 Jan. So I'll see you all in the new Year.... happy holidays!

[donnie27]

Karen........have a wonderful holiday....glad you are getting a break and hope you will get a great Santa gift. I know we will a ll be taking time off from Zaar........but that's as it should be. Family time is important.......and we need to enjoy it. Have fun and we will talk to you whenever you have a bit of free time.....I love talking to you... seems I would know you in a minute if we ever crossed paths.......
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year........Donna

If that's that handheld thing, I've already got it.

[donnie27]

Oh no........I was too late with my warning......Just how bad is it? (Or is there a chance it does work?)

[Chocolatl]

It's gathering dust on a shelf.

Anyone ever seen the Meatball maker thingy? My honey loves me so much that I have one... actually two 'cause he saw one at a yard sale or something. Place the plastic box with dividers on top of ground beef and just roll it around for perfect shaped meatballs.....yep I tried it once and am now storing two of those bad-boys cause one day I just know I'm gonna come up with a nifty re-purpose idea for them

[donnie27]

Too funny......yeah, these DH's try, but they really don't have a clue........ It's sort of like me telling DH why he has a computer glitch........he looks at me like I just got off a boat from somewhere......? Well I just tell him I thought if he went back to basics, he might get an idea. Think that works..?
Do you think maybe you could use that gadget to make some decorative ice cubes for his next drink?
Oh how we sacrifice to keep the peace. As Hallmark says.....it's the thought that counts"......... Donna

[Chocolatl]

I really do like gadgets, and I don't consider any gift from my DH a sacrifice on my part. Maybe on his. . .

[donnie27]

Gottcha gal.......I know their hearts are in the right place.......do you think maybe they believe these commercials just like we do....... Oh how awful to have two of us in the same house.........

[Chocolatl]

Isn't it?

well I DID get a flat whisk in my stocking and I LOVE it LOL. And yes it was the cause of much laughter Christmas morning but I used it to whip cream and OMG it did it so much faster then my regular whisk. Normally i use my hand mixer but every so often like to hand whip it and since I ate around 40 pounds of chocolates thought hand whipping would burn off a few calories LOL

Good afternoon everyone.
I can't see where a flat whisk would do much good either but I would bet she gets at least one. Just put it in the pointless and useless gadget drawer.
