Homeowners usually make only fleeting use of kitchen gadgets, a commentator has claimed.Tracey OSullivan of the Shropshire Star argued that in todays cash-rich but time-poor society, many people cannot be bothered to make the best of the tools they have and instead readily opt to buy new items.In addition, she suggested that while items like bread makers or juicers are often not particularly effective, they also create excess clutter around the kitchen sink and in food preparation areas.Even if they are put in the kitchen cupboards, I want rid, said Ms OSullivan. Im sure making bread is so much more satisfying without a machine to do it for you.She therefore called on homeowners to resist temptation next time those shiny metallic creatures with their flashing buttons and whirring tunes present themselves.Meanwhile, Jordan Fraser, manager of Calgary Home Appliance Gallery in Canada, recently told the Calgary Herald that more people in the country are turning to European flair when it comes to kitchen equipment.
