Unused and useless kitchen gadgets

[Snoopy]

Coffee bean grinders ~ ground coffee smells wonderful but the finished drink is always a disappointment. Stick to ready ground.

The telephone.

Mrs DS has ruined many meals by yakking on it when she should be watching the food burn.

I use my coffee bean grinder everyday  

And those "forks" for eating corn-on-the-cob, I use for getting the cornichons out of the jar  

However, the universal jar opener ...

George Foreman's bloody grill thingy 

George Foreman's bloody grill thingy will be out again tonight for the burgers    It does a great job but I concede it's a pain in the @rse to clean up

Wenchy once said she would not replace her George Foreman type grilly thing with one like ours because ours did not have removable plates that could go in the dishwasher.

We make great use of ours.

Looks scrumptious! 

For me the salient word is dishwasher. I have no need of one; it'd take me about 3 days to warrant setting it off, and 3 days of used crocks and cutlery is disgusterous

With five in the family our dishwasher gets two loads a day!

Seriously, due to space availability I changed our 12 place setting washer for a slim-line that in theory takes 8 place settings ~ well it does if we only eat two courses per meal but at Christmas and other celebrations I find myself standing at the sink, up to me armpits in suds, wielding the old brillo whilst the slim-line dishwasher does the glass ware etc.

To take this off topic....dishwasher   I don't have one at the moment oh how grumpy I get standing at the sink on a daily basis.  I hate it with a passion. On the grand scale of things I know it is a small thing but it is a huge huge thing to me at the moment.

I'm the opposite, my kitchen is at the front of the house so I can stand at the sink and watch the world go by as I wash up.

I will be moving soon.  Have been here since last September.  Anything that I have not used since I have been here is going. I can do minimalist no problem.

You could go and help BM with his restoration.

Just seen this mentioned on Top Gear, stick it on your exhaust and cook a burger as you drive
