What's the kitchen utensil/appliance you can't live without and what's the most useless one you ever bought?
I would really miss my slotted spoon,tongs and microwave. The most useless one is an egg poacher for the microwave- requires more work really than cooking them on the stove as you have to keep taking the poacher out of the microwave, opening it and checking and then putting it back in, resetting etc etc and it still doesn't cook eggs evenly.... that was a complete waste of $4 !!!
Does anyone have a pineapple corer and does it really work?

My microwave was a waste of money - never use it - so now I use it for heating the wax for my eyebrows.

I love my Pampered Chef spatulas, they are so great to cleaning the bowl completely.

Useless? Probably my grapefruit knife.

I love my Santoku knife. Couldn't live without it.

Useless? Garlic press. I used it for awhile, but now I just crush/chop. I got tired of all that garlic being wasted because it was smushed in there.

I never use my blender. It's a KitchenAid, works well and looks great. However, I find I get by using my food processor and it's easier to clean. Another thing I wanted a lot but never use is my apple corer/peeler. There was a time when I wanted all maner of little kitchen gagets but now I think less is more and certain items I couldn't live without, others always remain on the periphery with a tinge of buyer's remorse. :)
