Have you ever regretted giving/selling a kitchen gadget

**Palooka** · 05-20-2010, 01:11 AM

In my quest to be simplistic and organized, I so regret giving away my waffle maker. Why? Why? I could make waffles and freeze them for my family, but I felt I didn't use it enough. Now I want another one.

Anyone else, Bueller?

yep, I want another dehydrator.

I love my waffle iron - I use it all the time!

Never had one but they are not cheap.

I gave away a yogurt maker years ago and I'd like a new one....

**frugalwarrior2** · 05-20-2010, 06:55 AM

No. Someone please make me do that will ya. I did give away a box of whimsical cow knicknacks though.

My dehydrator -- I had a great one 10 years ago and gave it away...

Yes, my tea kettle. Not sure if that's really a "gadget" per se, but I gave it to my brother, and now I wish we had it for Lauren (my tea loving child).

I gave away my popcorn maker, then regretted it a year later. Responded to a freecycle ad for a popcorn maker and when I went to pick it up it was exactly the same as the one I gave away.

A yogurt maker, sort of. I gave away one that made yogurts in cups. I got tired of all those little glasses, the same way I rarely buy individual yogurt cups in the store. At the time they made yogurt makers that made a quart at a time; I intended to get one of those, or learn/use the thermos technique (even better). What I actually did was stop making yogurt!

Nope, I do however regret alot of gadgets I purchased because I just "had to have it" at the time and never use.

I think my gadget regret is a small electric chopper I gave to dd. Sometimes I just don't want to chop and want to whirl, lol.

YES! My little one-serving blender that only had two speeds but was perfect for making breakfast smoothies, and you could make them in it, and then just remove the cup to drink from, so barely any dishes.

I gave it to DS when he first moved out...and it went down a wormhole and has not been heard from since...

This is me exactly! I was just looking at the sno-cone maker and ice cream maker that I have used 1 or 2 times and wondering if I should sell them. I'm sure I have a variety of other things that I need to get rid of and wouldn't regret! I think that's why I hang on to things, because I might regret getting rid of them.

YES! I had an electric wok and a really good stainless wok and sold them both before I went on my 'travel sojourn' to England and Scotland.

Only sold them cause they were such a pain to pack!

Now I have ONE really cheap wok that I don't like.......but they are a pain to store!
