an ice cream maker that costs £25

looks good in the package

how does it make the iceream

well it has no motor no cooler just a geared up stirrer/paddle in a lid that fits over the bowl with instruction how to use the freezer !!!!!


eeehhhhh just like the food processor with movable bowl with lid and stirrer for £25

We had an ice-cream maker, the sort where you put the heavy pot into a freezer. It worked, but the metal part corroded so it was discarded. Mrs M bought a juicer, after a brief fling, it stays unused.

Mooncat,

We had an ice-cream maker that did that, waste of money.
A yoghurt maker is another waste of space.

for a gadget to be worthwhile, I reckon it needs to be used at least weekly and do something better then you would either buy it or do it (or do it faster/cleaner)

So Pasta Maker - while great for some, not for me (not a pasta fan)
Ice-Cream maker and Yoghurt maker - I like youghurts and ice creams that these can't make
Rice Cooker - makes great rice, but again not a big rice fan and easier to just stick in in a pan when i do make it
Juicer - Got one, not used it for ages but I think I will get it out again as it made great juice and isn't that much more effort.

Food Processor - never really had a proper one of those - ae they worth it? (we have got a blender which I keep meaning to use for smoothies but never have - are they similar?)

I was toying with a pizza oven purchase from Maplin, handy for pizza, sausage rolls, pies. The kind of foods that you don't want to put the big oven on for. Left it in the shop though!

Mrs M bought an Easy yo yogurt maker from Julian Graves. It works well enough, but the powder they sell for it is expensive, it's cheaper to buy ready made yogurt from Lidl or Aldi.

you can make yoghurt easy without a maker you just need culture which costs pennies for tons
The most useless gadget is a pizza cutter...wtf??? when did a decent knife fail to cut through a pizza??? We laugh in the face of pizza cutters and never had one ever...never missed it

The Pizza cutter stops the cheese sticking and pulling along as the blade goes UP rather then along

not sure why I am defending them - don't like Pizza that much (but do have a cutter and it IS actually better then a knife)

I love the image of the paintycait family seeing a Pizza Cutter and all saying "HA HAA!" with a flick of a scarf

Welll we weren't but we are all decided...that's the plan from now on. I will keep a scarf specially for it. We shall laugh in the face of every pizza cutter, scorn their wheeliness, ridicule the little nail in the middle and we shall leave them all quivering i the shelves..their egos shattered...shadows of their former selves

Lidl are promoting special offers on useless kitchen gadgets from Monday 16 Oct.

Useless

The only thing not there is Yorkshire pudding mix to which you must add an egg and milk.

The pizza cutter isn't a useless gadget, it does what it's supposed to do, is compact and cheap, and is handy for instant use, and doesn'r score the pan as a knife will.
