Thanks to the appearance of new electrical appliances, it became much easier to manage the household. Modern household appliances help in cooking, washing, ironing, caring for yourself and loved ones. The kitchen in the modern house is a place of concentration of various automatics and semi-automatic devices, bought and received as a gift. But if you make an audit, are all the devices used in life? Do you have any technology that occupies a significant place on the shelves and in the lockers, and which you have not used once since the acquisition?
10 most useless appliances in the kitchen
We will compose a rating of useless kitchen electrical devices, starting with the most unnecessary.
- Eggplant . It's unclear why you need a device at all, when you can just as easily weld eggs in a small saucepan or scoop? Especially as eggs are cooked in the egg cooker for a couple, not in water, and in order that they do not explode, they need to be punctured with a special needle.
- Machine for making popcorn. Even if you are a large mother, and your kids consider popcorn to be the most delicious in the world delicacy, is it worth buying a special rather voluminous device cluttering up the kitchen space? If you want to please the family with popcorn, an ordinary microwave oven, in which you can quickly prepare several packets of popcorn, is quite suitable.
- Lomterezka . This device can be necessary only in a family where there are frequent parties. If your house is not a branch of a bar or cafe, then you hardly have to cook several times a week for fifty sandwiches or make cheese, meat cuts daily.
- Electro-opener for canned food . Even if you eat exclusively canned food, you have to open a day no more than two or three jars. A typical can opener can open a given amount of canned food in a few seconds, without any special effort.
- Pelmennitsa (varenichnitsa) . Want to please your loved ones with delicious home-made dumplings or vareniki? After spending time preparing the dough, stuffing or other stuffing, you do not want to use this device, but stick beautiful pelmenki yourself. If you do not have enough time for housekeeping, you are more likely to buy ready-made frozen semi-finished products.
- An electric grater for cheese. Even if you are a big fan of Italian pasta with cheese, then cook it no more than twice a week. Grate a piece of cheese on a conventional grater - it's literally a few minutes. Is it worth buying a special device?
- A device for making spaghetti . The assortment of factory pasta in modern stores is diverse. It is unlikely that even a nonworking housewife will make pasta, if similar quality products can be purchased at the nearest supermarket.
- Fryer . Ruddy fried potatoes can be successfully fried in a thick-walled frying pan. Anyone who adheres to a healthy lifestyle and restricts the consumption of fatty foods, prefer baked or boiled potatoes (and then occasionally). In the deep fryer , the french fries are cooked in an unthinkable amount of fat, which then will have to be washed and tediously washed for a long time.
- Cook . Of course, a variety of cereals - it's tasty and very useful. Buying a fairly expensive device, you do not save on cooking time dishes, do not win in quality. But washing the cook is uncomfortable! Therefore, cook cereals in a multifunctional multivark or traditional saucepan.
- Electronic cookbook. On the small screen of the device you can read master classes from cooks. The same thing you can do by opening one of the many culinary sites on the Internet or, pouring out a cookbook.
Unnecessary gadgets not only clutter up space, but also cause a feeling of annoyance from the fact that a useless purchase is made. Therefore, before you buy an advertised device, think about how much you need it.
