What kitchen tools have you found to be obsolete or useless after you bought them?

Ugh… too many to count… but here is a short list. Maybe not obsolete, but not as useful as advertised or though before purchasing:

1 Air Fryer - Don’t kid yourself, nothing cooks like grease/oil…. LOTS of IT!
2 Pasta Machine: Unless you are cranking out pasta every day of the week (or at least once a month) roll it out and cut it with a knife
3 Indoor Rotisserie Oven - Who cooks enough meat that you need one of these things? And they smoke like crazy!
4 Hot Plates / Warming trays - Rent them.. you’ll use them once a year at most and they take up a lot of space
5 Deli Slicer - Again, a nifty idea, but WAY too much maintenance (and the distinct possibility of loosing a finger!)
6 Electric Quesadilla Maker - Just plain dumb. One function and it doesn’t even do that well.
7 Margarita Maker - I’ll take a good blender ANY DAY
8 ANYTHING by George Forman - Indoor Grill, Outdoor Grill, anything with that name is junk.

9 And finally, as Alton Brown used to say, ANY UNI-TASKER that isn’t a fire extinguisher, should be banned from the kitchen. If it only does one thing (even if it does it well), do you really need it? One Task Appliances!
