What's The Most Useless Thing In Your Kitchen?

[TastyReuben]

Piggybacking off the "scariest" topic, what's the most useless thing in your kitchen?

You can define "useless" however you like; maybe it doesn't perform as it should, or maybe it's something you have and just never use.

For me, it's the plastic egg holder that came with my fridge - a removable plastic box with wells for 18 eggs. Takes up a good bit of shelf space in my fridge, and I never, ever use it, but I hate to throw it out because it came with the fridge!

My wife, just kidding, but she doesn't cook, but she cleans up after me. But seriously I don't have anything I don't use, but I suppose I should go through the drawers?

Tupperware - useless because I have probably total 20 pieces and I only use about 5 of them. The other 15 are useless to me but, I just can't bring myself to throw/ give them away as I always think there will suddenly be a need for them.

My dog. He hovers around my feet, nose to the floor, waiting for something to drop.

Saves cleaning food off the floor, though.

Seriously - he has his special dishes that I greatly enjoy and leave to him.
Other than that I would rather he stayed out of the kitchen. He makes a mess and does a half job of cleaning. I have tried to teach him to be my prep chef. NOT.
Refuses to hold a knife properly, thinks he is a Master Chef wacking veggies. Terrifying. The most dangerous thing in my kitchen

My gas cooker. We have sufficient other gas hobs and the oven is useless.

Microwaves are very misunderstood and there is a lot of prejudice against them. I use mine quite a lot and not only for re-heating. I make the best Bechamel sauce in the microwave, for example. Another thread really.

The most useless thing doesn't exist in our kitchen, a slow cooker. Never owned one, never will. My slow cookers are outside.

That made me laugh! We have a microwave, but all I ever use it for is to heat water or milk, syrup, melt butter, that sort of thing. I did make soft-boiled eggs in the microwave, using steps here on the forum, and that worked fairly well, but was about the same effort at a pan and water.

It does do a good job with scrambled eggs, though, I must say.

My cooker (oven does not work). Can opener that does not like opening cans. But actually the whole kitchen does not work as is ridiculously small.
