If you need more reason to work on your knife skills: Interestingly, some food experts even say the press can impart a slight metallic tang as well as make the garlic overly potent — and more likely to ruin, not enhance, a dish.


Automatic Spaghetti Fork

Automatic Spaghetti Fork

What you'll save: $30 

The fact that this product's description refers to it as a children's toy tells you everything you need to know: No one needs a motorized fork to twirl their pasta for them. Plus, it doesn't stop twirling when your fork is loaded up — the on/off button is manual — so you'll spend your meal twirling, switching the fork off, eating, switching the fork on, and going back for more pasta. We'll pass.

Yogurt Maker

Yogurt Maker

What you'll save: $28-$87 

You've got to really love yogurt to want one of these yogurt makers taking up space in your kitchen, especially since you can make even make yogurt in everyone's favorite multiple-use small appliance, the Instant Pot.
