Name one gadget you own and never use. (freezer, butter, vegetables)

I keep seeing new countertop baking gadgets--cake pops, little pies, mini sandwiches, make your own cupcakes and donuts. It's getting crazy. And I always think, "Maybe I need to make cake pops in a hurry ... I should be prepared!' That's how they get you.

I've often wondered if there are people who actually use corn holders. I'm sure they exst, or corn holders wouldn't exist. I have never seen anyone, ever... using one though.

My DD got me a wine chiller, and always asks me how I like it, and I always lie, because I've never used it. So she came to visit and forced me to try it. You fill it with water, freeze it, then place it in the wine bottle and pour the wine thru it. Stupid.

I truly hate wet lettuce, so I do use my salad spinner once in awhile. You should give yours another try.

My 80 year old mother uses those. She always puts them out along with the little corn on the cob plates and nobody uses them but her. She doesn't like getting butter on her fingers and sometimes gets annoyed that the rest of us don't use them. She gets annoyed when we don't use the fruit bowls she sets out either and just put the fruit right on the dinner plate along with everything else. I think she just wants an excuse to use all her stuff.

These come in handy if you're browsing CD forums and trying to keep your keyboard clean.

I have one of those! It must be 30 years old now. You pour the batter into it, close the top and it bakes the donuts. Love it. Greatest gadget ever. Except for maybe my electric hot dog cooker, lol. (You put the hot dogs on little metal spears and it, basically, electrocutes them.)

If I had corn holders in the house I'd totally use them, on the few occasions when I grill corn. I keep forgetting that I like them though and never buy them.

Useless gadget for me: a sun tea container-thingie someone gave us for our wedding.

1. I don't like sun tea.
2. When I opened the box, I discovered the glass was cracked.
3. The local store I would've returned it to for an exchange, closed down, and the next-nearest one was 3 hours away.

So I threw the thing away.

Useless gadget #2: a stove-top popcorn maker, with a crank that kept the kernels moving on the bottom.

1. I don't need no stinkin crank.
2. I already have a 2-quart pot that holds enough popped corn for spouse and I, so this was just one extra pot that couldn't be used for anything -but- popcorn because it's too thin and flimsy for anything of substance.

So I threw the thing away.
