Electric Egg Cooker
When we found out that this thing existed, we thought for sure it had to be a prank-product. But no. It’s real and it’s here to steal your money. This machine developed by Hamilton Beach promises perfectly boiled or poached eggs.
Do you know how else you can get perfectly boiled eggs without spending an excess of $20? By boiling them. In a pot. That you already own.
Pizza Cutter
We’re willing to bet that a lot of people have pizza cutters and use them regularly, but unless you’re buying a high-end one (which you shouldn’t), we guarantee they’re mostly flimsy and don’t cut so well.
Just use kitchen shears! Instead of rolling the cutter around multiple times, the shears will work just fine in one go, and they can be used for various other things around the kitchen!
Salad Spinner
The first time I saw somebody using a salad spinner, I quite simply could not wrap my head around the concept. It’s been years since then, and I will don’t get it.
You don’t need this $30 item to toss your salad. The only thing it’s designed to really do, and do it properly, is take up unnecessary space. Just put your salad in a container, put a lid on, and shake it around. Done!

actually I love my egg cooker. the eggs are easy to peel and that isn’t the case with eggs boiled on a pot. It is easy to do and shuts off automatically. I am only cooking for one and 6 eggs are the perfect amount for me.
Dumbest article I ever read.
Some of us have hand problems or disability s and need electric can openers
Or we have allot of jewelry thats too fine to store in egg crates.
Get a life
I thoroughly agree with most of what you said. Except for the Salad Spinner. I received one as a wedding present way back in 1977 and have used it every single time I make a salad or use some lettuce for any dish. I hate a salad that has water running around the bottom of the bowl. And unless you enjoy shaking lettuce at the kitchen sink for several minutes or wasting paper towels trying to dry it, and still not get the lettuce drip free, the spinner is perfect! And as far as taking up space, it’s only the size of a medium to large cooking pot. And IMO a must have in every kitchen. If mine ever breaks, I’ll be purchasing another one immediately! P.S. I have one with a crank. I can’t speak of the ones with a string to pull, but they may not be as of good quality.
