Not so.

I have the grandfather of this unit, and its cousins and it works just fine.

i LOVE mine, great for lots of things, but watch out for your fingernails/fingertips! Got it last christmas from BBandB, and is on the top of my gadget pile. TIP: spend the $$ on the more expensive one, it's really worth it.

my #1 favorite gadget is my pampered chef food chopper, known as The Chopper. Better than the tupperware version, because it comes apart a little more for easier cleaning. I've used it for the obvious, celery, onions, black olives, eggs (when i want hunks, not slices), But also great for cutting up cooked chicken/pork chops for adding to soup or casseroles. I found that my daugther will eat more meat if it's chopped up and hidden in something than if you just plop a few hunks on her plate.

My crock pot and Foreman grill are also favorites, but I go thru phases with them. Use them a bunch, then put them away for awhile.

I LOVE my foreman grill! And, of course, the microwave. I also use my bread machine at least every week (for Arsen- I can't eat bread), and in the summer, I can't live without my blender- bacardi rum and frozen crushed fruit is so good!
I have a million other gadgets, I just don't use them...I have a coffee grinder, crappy yardsale food processor, big syringe that injects meat with flavor that I've had for a year and haven't used yet, Oh, I don't feel look looking through my kitchen right now, but there are at least 10 other gadgets I forgot to mention....

I actually just spent $55 at bed bath and beyond...I "needed" a board to go with my pizza stone, and a silicone matt for my counter top to roll dough on.


WTF? this post and my last post BOTH say I've posted 531 times...

Glatt, you have nothing to work on! I think your explanation was an admirable example for everyone
I just can't believe it took me 531 posts to figure that out...

A visit to Sams today, almost 100 bucks. Just had to have a cutting board, hi-temp spatulas. Of course some shrimp, catfish and egg rolls.

I'm reviving this old thread (instead of starting a new one); since I am in the process of decluttering my kitchen (for de-meecing purposes).

so--what is your favorite kitchen gadget?

Mine's the electric garlic roaster. Yummy!

After basic high-quality knives, I would say the immersion blender.
