Re: Useless gadgets

The heated Hippopotamus shaped foot warmer someone bought me for Christmas

A Jamie Oliver egg shaped thing with a ball inside it for crushing spices (it doesn't, my pestle and mortar or the rolling pin and a plastic bag does a much better job) and making dressings (when you open the egg shape the dressing runs all over the place).

I dread Chrismas and a deluge of useless gadgets...

We were given one of those in a present. I'd forgotten all about it. It was utterly useless

Mags , as someone who likes Melons I can't see the point of a 'melon baller', it wastes a lot of the melon and the melon tastes just as good in cubes
