10 strangest and completely unnecessary kitchen appliances

To make life as simple and comfortable as possible, hundreds of companies around the world conduct numerous research, develop and release new useful devices. Thanks to this, you no longer need to always wash by hand, worry about maintaining the desired temperature in the house, and even fuss around the stove for several hours for a regular dinner.

However, not all inventions are so necessary. Today in stores a lot of unnecessary and even strange things are sold.

1. Electronic cookbook

What, besides your wallet, this device can make easier is still unclear. And yet its functional features are actively advertised to potential buyers. Book:

• has access to the Internet (as well as a TV, laptop, telephone);
• allows you to upload your own recipes (which have always been successfully stored in a regular notebook);
• For some reason, it contains an internal album for photos and applications for playing music and videos.

As a result, this purchase will be more of a stylish accessory, which only takes up space and does not justify the money spent on it at all.

2. Slicer

Such a miracle of technology can in a matter of minutes, cut a whole stick of sausage into neat slices. However, in everyday life, it is unlikely that anyone will need to chop food in such a volume. Therefore, the slicer will be more useful to chefs in a large restaurant than to a housewife in a home kitchen.

3. Electric spaghetti fork

A device that looks more like a toy. Surely the developers were guided precisely by the opportunity to interest a child who does not want to eat. In any case, any adult will definitely be able to independently roll pasta on a regular fork.

4. Apple peeler

A good example of how simple things can be greatly complicated. Yes, such equipment will indeed cut off a thin layer of peel, but at the same time it:

• takes up space in the closet;
• requires regular care and electrical power;
• After use, it takes time to disassemble and wash all parts.

Agree, much It’s easier to take a regular knife and spend 1-2 minutes to peel the apple.

5. Tenderizer

Analogue of a meat hammer. Researchers claim that when using this device Connective tissues are destroyed much more effectively. Thanks to this, the chops are more juicy and tasty.

This may be true, but the usual hammer is still more convenient to operate, and it costs less.

6. Hot dog toaster

Comparing it with a regular toaster, you can find only one difference: There are holes for buns and sausages. Otherwise, the device is no different from what we are used to. Meanwhile, the question of the need to store such a huge thing in the kitchen just for hot dogs is apparently not being considered.

7. Cooker

It would seem that we live in a world where there are already devices such aspressure cooker and slow cooker.They do an excellent job of preparing even the most complex dishes, not to mention ordinary porridge.. Why in this case “reinvent the wheel” (more precisely, a special cooker) is unknown. Nevertheless, it exists and is even actively sold.

8. White and yolk separator

Designed specifically for cleaners. The separator is something like a pipette. After you have broken the egg, the yolk is easily separated with this device. By the way, you can still do this with a spoon.

9. Egg boiler

The advertisement for this device claims that it makes boiling eggs as easy as shelling pears. In fact, using an ordinary saucepan for these purposes, as our mothers and grandmothers did, is no more difficult. Moreover The whole process takes about the same amount of time, and the egg boiler takes up even more space.

10. Pasta making machine

Necessary for gourmets who are planning to open their own production, or people who have a huge kitchen, the same wallet and a supply of free time.

How often do you get home from work and want to make your own pasta dough instead of just throwing store-bought ones into boiling water?

This is not a complete list of what can make you open your mouth in surprise at the store counter. Moreover, the manufacturers are clearly not going to stop! Who knows what the future may hold for us?
