Ten One Use Appliances and Implements—Are they a Waste of Your Kitchen (or Other) Space?

1. Garlic Press. They are an efficient machine to do the job they do. They are also quite small. Cons: hard to clean; the one use things are usually the easiest to find in your cutlery drawer but only when you are looking for something else. Verdict: On size, a stayer.
2. Fairy Floss Machine. Large. Extremely one use—only sugar does that stringy thing needed to get this effect, and only one type of sugar works. It also requires having a spare jar of sugar thats been dyed pink. I have used mine once in about eight years. Verdict: From pure practicality, this machine has no hope, but its potential fun factor means the box takes vital space regardless.
3. Caffetiere.
4. Holepunch.
5. Shoehorn.
6. Apple corer and peeler.
7. Those lever things that you put into an open bottle of wine, but which actually spend most of their life in the bottom of your cutlery drawer.
8. Butter Dish.
9. Fondue set.
10. Stove top Jaffle maker.
