Well we might have one but we could have another since none of us knows where the other one is.

Slush Puppy maker
Garlic crushers (numerous) ~ what is wrong with placing a knife on the garlic and whacking it with your hand?
Stoopid fiddly little fork things that are designed to stick in Corn on the Cob. Fingers work better.

Wenchy once said she would not replace her George Foreman type grilly thing with one like ours because ours did not have removable plates that could go in the dishwasher.

We make great use of ours.

Looks scrumptious! 

For me the salient word is dishwasher. I have no need of one; it'd take me about 3 days to warrant setting it off, and 3 days of used crocks and cutlery is disgusterous  sick2:

With five in the family our dishwasher gets two loads a day!

Seriously, due to space availability I changed our 12 place setting washer for a slim-line that in theory takes 8 place settings ~ well it does if we only eat two courses per meal but at Christmas and other celebrations I find myself standing at the sink, up to me armpits in suds, wielding the old brillo whilst the slim-line dishwasher does the glass ware etc.

To take this off topic....dishwasher cloud9:  I don't have one at the moment oh how grumpy I get standing at the sink on a daily basis.  I hate it with a passion. On the grand scale of things I know it is a small thing but it is a huge huge thing to me at the moment.evil:

I'm the opposite, my kitchen is at the front of the house so I can stand at the sink and watch the world go by as I wash up.

It is an egg coddler in which, believe it or not, you coddle an egg.

It is indeed an egg coddler and I did use it once or twice but could not tell the difference between coddled eggs and boiled eggs and they were fiddly to clean.  Chucked them out years ago.
