William Grimes wrote in the New York Times about an overabundance of kitchen gadgets.
The article is full of great quotes from food professionals, who admit to being guilty of owning kitchen gadgets that they never use, have to get rid of or wish they hadn’t bought in the first place–just like us amateur cooks. Some of the “useless” gadgets are obscure devices for specific tasks, like butter slicer, but others are tools that most people think of as sensible investment, like a food processor. The only thing all the gadgets have in common is that the cooks who bought them rarely use them.
