Kitchen Items Not Worth Spending Money On

Posted on November 15, 2024 By root

It is very easy to convince yourself that you need special kitchen tools, especially after seeing them used at a friend’s or relative’s house. After a few uses, many shiny new kitchen toys become storage headaches, show up at garage sales, are given to your children, or are thrown out. Save money by leaving the shiny objects to squirrels. Here are a few you should leave on the store shelf.

Deep Fryers

Big, messy, counter space hog describes deep fryers. Even the smallest units take up a square foot of counter space plus access space. Cleaning is difficult, time-consuming, and needs to be done after each use.

Approximate price range: $30.00 – $1300.00 depending on type, brand, and size. Plus the cost of oil.

Electric Can Openers

Most electric can openers don’t live up to the hype. Some are difficult to engage. Most drop heavy cans. Some drop standard cans. They take up counter space.

Approximate price range: $20.00 to over $50.00. (Manual can opener: less than $2.00.)

Touchless Faucets

Touchless faucets are convenient as long as they work and everyone in the house including your guests knows how to use them. They complicate perfectly good equipment that does not need much improvement.

Approximate price range: $300.00 – $700.00 plus installation (about $150.00 per bathroom and $250.00 for kitchens).

Ice Maker

Unless you entertain a lot, countertop ice makers are an expensive frill. Refrigerators make ice–either in trays or with a built-in ice maker. Countertop units use up at least one square foot of counter space, weigh over 30 pounds when empty, and do not keep ice frozen.

Approximate price range: As low as $50.00 but expect to pay close to $200.00 for a good one.

High-End Cutting Boards

Some cutting boards cost up to $200.00. Inexpensive plastic boards cost as little as $5.00. Both get scarred, cut up and need to be replaced. You can buy a new plastic one every year for 40 years for the cost of a high-end board.

Ice Cream Maker

An ice cream maker takes up about one square foot of countertop space plus room to access the machine. Producing consistent products can be difficult and the cost of ingredients can be pricey. It may be more efficient to buy the ice cream you like.

Approximate price range: Ice cream maker prices range from about $50.00 to over $1000.00. Expect to pay around $250.00 for a good one.

Electric Meat Slicer

Cutting sausage or cold roast beef into perfect slices can be appealing but they taste the same regardless of how they are cut. Meat slicers can be dangerous and require a good cleaning and disinfecting after each use. A decent meat slicer costs between $100.00 and $400.00. It takes up about two square feet of counter space plus the room to operate it. If you only entertain occasionally, buying a meat platter may be a better option.

High-End Espresso Machine

Espresso machines take up about one and a half square feet of counter space and weigh over 20 pounds empty. You usually do not store it after each use but leave it on the counter. You also need space to access it. Some people have problems making consistent-tasting coffee.

Approximate price range: A good quality espresso machine costs between $500.00 and $800.00.

An eight-foot-long countertop has 16 square feet of space. If you own all eight of these machines, you need half that area just for storage. They have to be spread out to use, so you might take up the entire space. And you really don’t need any of them.
