... to ask the thing you most regret buying that you have barely used?

[WomanInTheWindow]

(started from that now deleted thread)

As previously detailed, gathering dust in my house is the spiraliser, the diet milkshake drink shaker... at one point we had three separate keyboards.

I now have a vegetable box staring at me balefully....

Anyone else?

The bloody spiraliser that sits in the cupboard giving out malevolent vibes.

A really expensive juicer with multiple parts. Used for a couple of months. Was such a faff!

Pasta maker

A Several friends have one and use it all the time and rarely switch on their ovens. I had wanted one for years and years and eventually bought one last year ( really expensive from Lakeland)
I’ve burnt cakes, dried out chicken breasts and can’t get anything out of the pot without burning my fingers.

Don’t know what happened there! It should say a Remoska

@Knittingnanny! I need to know what you bought and didn’t use!

Oops. Cross post.

For me it was a spiraliser. Never out of the box. And a instantpot. Don’t believe the hype

oooohhh…. a Remoska you say? Never heard of it!

(I will not be making more random purchases - just curious...)

googles

PS: sorry, did not mean to make a poll

Bread maker. The bread comes out either rock hard or too crumbly to slice. The paddle leaves a great big hole in half the loaf and it goes mouldy within a couple of days.
Ingredients work out very expensive per usable slice.

Gave up quickly and back to hovis.

Smoothskin bare ultrafast IPL hair remover. Thats £150 I'll never see again. If I have to stay at home(supermarket worker) I might start using it.

Creme brulé set with mini blowtorch. We use the ramekins but the blowtorch doesn't switch off properly so hisses out gas until it's finished. I bought it specifically for the blowtorch

An air fryer. Just shit.

Instant pot! Just can’t be arsed with it.

Ghd glide. Cost bloody £145 and doesn't do anything to my hair. Well pissed off 😡

A GHD straightening brush . The mere thought of it annoys me.

Changing table / soup maker - just tastes so bland

Snap @Racheyg

A glide - that’s the one!

I really want an instant pot but they’re too expensive. Are you all saying I actually don’t want one?

A slow cooker. Used it enthusiastically for a couple of weeks, then into the back of the cupboard it went. Thankfully it was a cheap one.

There are three things now on here: the cooker, the straighteners, the hair remover that are around £150 … I've definitely spent similar on all sorts of magic potions for my hair (cumulative)

I am going to remember this!

willow - is it that it doesn't work, or that you have not got around to using it much? Sounds like something I would have been tempted by!

I bought a steamer. A big Polti one. I have been tempted to bring it out during this pandemic but I last used it 4 years ago. Goodness knows whats grown in that water tank .

I use my instant pot at least two or three times a week. Totally brilliant.

I have a special spatula that is supposed to get all the batter off a whisk. It's got wee cuts in the silicone that slide in all the whisk prongs (?). Totally doesn't work.

An integrated steam oven... used it once. Still use the hob top steamer. Might get the instructions out now I’ve thought about it... who am I kidding?!

A chocolate fountain

In my defence I didn't actually buy it myself

The pie maker I regret I did. Used once.

A slow cooker. Put good food in - get inedible food out hours later.
