the price for the most useless household item goes to...

... the gravy boat

• always drips
• never big enough
• alwas at the wrong end of the table
• a pain in the drawer as it's not stackable

I'm moving house. gravy boat will stay behind.

Aw I used to love it at my Granny's when the gravy boat arrived at the table and got passed around!
Mine is the vax carpet washer I bought forgetting we have floorboards

What will you pour gravy from? Have you thought this through?

Also, they are not compatible with my gravy - cannot get a knife in to cut yourself a slice 😜

I love both of mine, little one for when there's only 2 or 3 people, the big one that does more people. I am thinking of getting an insulted gravy jug though, my MIL will love it at Christmas.

No! I love the gravy boat - it's huge and was 99p in Tescos at Christmas!

Agree wtaf are you going to use, a wine glass, a bowl, bucket??? Agree with @cardibach you need to seriously consider this.

Since discovering frozen mash potatoes, my masher and ricer thing (that I never used) have been donated to charity.

mostly we use chinese soup bowls (one size bigger than breakfast bowls) and a small ladle.

there is also an electric wok which we have never used...

Agreed, never big enough! We always end up using the Pyrex measuring jug

leggy I like your style
would a baking tray work for gravy jelly

I just pour mine straight out of the gravy pan onto the plate. Gravy pan goes back on the job to keep warm for second helpings.

Why dirty another piece of crockery unnecessarily.

We also have 2 - the gravy boat for small groups/meals and the gravy aircraft carrier for big affairs 😁
I fill mine with hot water for ten minutes before I need to pour in the gravy, warms it up lovely and keeps the gravy hot.

Spoon rest, anybody?

If you can't or don't want to use the plate that you'll be eating off to park the spoon whilst preparing the meal, why not just grab a side plate, which is also useful for various other purposes?

Why go to the hassle of owning and storing something of such limited functionality?

Pyrex jug all the way!

The bloody spiraliser DH got suckered into buying.

We have 2 gravy boats thus solving the at the wrong end of the table dilemma and solving the capacity issue felt like a proper grown up buying one from the charity shop. Admittedly one pours really badly though.

I just use a pyrex pint sized measuring jug for gravy. I have no idea what's happened to the gravy boat now you mention it. I'm sure we have one somewhere.

pint size is waaaayyyyy too small for us

Definitely my ironing board, which is currently residing in the attic.

I have a gravy jug...

Electric wok? Electric? Wok?
What?!

(Also a gravy boat is ome of the first things i bought for my kitchen. First whinge glasses. Then gravy boat. Then Cutlery. Priorities lol)

**WINE !!! Wine glasses not whinge glasses lol

Vax steam mop. It's alright but doesn't do anything more than what the conventional mop and squeeze bucket doesn't. And it's a pain to always make sure there's enough Vax detergent around, because you can't put any other detergent in it.

I second the spoon rest. It's been refunctioned as the place to put tea bags.

The egg slicer and its cousin the fruit slicer/corer. Just use a knife, ffs.
