As technology develops, new kitchen gadgets and appliances have been invented to make some specific tasks a bit easier. The market is full of these fabulous-looking things of all sizes and shapes, and each one has a really distinctive function. Can you imagine a special machine, made only to cook eggs? Or special scissors to cut pizza?

While some of them can truly be helpful, others are literally a waste of money. If you have an intention to buy some new kitchenware, be sure to check out these items below. They are some of the useless appliances that you definitely should not buy.

#1 Electric Can Opener

This machine will help you open any type of can, with or without the ring. Just be careful because it will cost you a big amount of money to repair if it breaks.

#2 Pie Bird

The little bird in the middle works as a steam vent when your pie bakes. For a simpler solution, just poke a hole.

#3 Garlic Press

This gadget is notoriously hard to clean. If you need finely minced garlic, you can buy garlic paste instead.

#4 Electric Salt and Pepper Grinders

This device is perfect for those who have arthritic hands or conditions that make them unable to twist a handle. Otherwise, it’s not worth an extra spend.

#5 Meat-shredding Claws

You can buy these things to wear and make you look like Wolverine. Or else, just use a couple of folks for the same purpose.

#6 Corn Kernel Stripper

This gadget helps you strip the kernels out of the corn cob, and so a knife does. For me, I will enjoy eating directly from the corn cob.

#7 Musical Cake Server

Save your effort on singing because this device will sing to you, your friends, and your family. Enjoy two hours of continuous play before its battery runs out. Sadly, it’s a non-replaceable one.

#8 Rapid Pizza Reheater

This pan does nothing better than putting pizza in the microwave. For a better way, put that cold piece of pizza in an oven or use a skillet to restore the crispy crust and melty cheese.

#9 Electric Wine Opener

This device is proven to be single-use, expensive, and not worth money. It even requires an outlet at your counter so just stay with the manual mode.

#10 Warming Ice Cream Scoop

Tired of waiting for the ice cream to melt out? This scoop will heat it and save your time. How amazing.

#11 Egg Cooker

Cooking an egg requires little effort and skill to do, so just save your money.

#12 Milk Tea Shaker

If you can afford an automatic milk shaker, just simply spend that money on a nearby tea shop that meets your taste.

#13 Tuna Press

We normally drain the liquid of canned tuna through its partially opened can lid. However, you can try using this thing to get your tuna extra dry.

#14 Trongs

These little things look awkward when used. Plastic gloves will be a better choice.

#15 Avocado Masher

This thing looks a little different from a potato masher, but you can surely mash your avocado with a folk.

#16 Popcorn Machine

Buying such a popcorn machine only for personal use is something unimaginable. Buy a bag of microwave popcorn already.

#17 Breakfast Station

This device is literally a combination of a toaster oven, griddle, and coffee maker. So just save your money on other necessary appliances.

#18 Pasta Measurer

After all, spaghetti is one of the rare dishes that get better with age. But if you don’t like leftovers, this pasta measurer will help you control the portion. Seriously, life is not that long to measure pasta.

#19 Pizza Scissors

These scissors will slice through the pie with ease if your rolling pizza cutter cannot do the work. They even come with wedge-shaped attachments to keep your fingers grease-free. Hope you’re not squared pizza preferred.

#20 Banana Slicer

If you want your banana slices to look perfectly even, try this out. See also avocado slicer, hotdog slicer, strawberry slicer…

#21 Burger Press

Image Credit: Amazon

It’s just right for anyone who doesn’t want to touch raw meat. And remember to press a shallow dimple in the middle to keep the patty flat after cooking.

#22 Roller Spiral Slicer

It’s interesting to have your favorite veggies served in new shapes. Hopefully, they still look delicious after this step. And even with this tool, it’s hard to do, either.

#23 Deep Fryer

Consider its size, cost, and labor, you will see that this machine is not cost-effective. Use a normal deep pan and a thermometer, and you can also get the dish done.

#24 Taco Holder

Image Credit: Amazon

This thing may aim to a more elegant way of eating tacos. But it seems pretty redundant, to be honest.

#25 Cookie Dippers

You can spend money on this specific little gizmo or just use a folk already.
