20 Kitchen Gadgets People Regret Buying
If Amazon sales have ever tempted you into buying new, seemingly convenient gadgets for your kitchen, this is your official sign to reconsider. Recently, I asked Tasty readers about the kitchen gadgets they regret buying the most, and I'm honestly taking notes. Ahead, I've rounded up 20 different appliances people wish they had never bought. Hopefully, this can save a few of you from buyer's remorse: "A vacuum marinating box. In theory, it makes marinating more efficient as the vacuum draws the marinade into the meat quickly. In practice, it's a pain to get set up, the pump gets lost in the cupboard, and it doesn't actually work as well as a good, old-fashioned plastic bag. I should have known there was a reason it was marked down from $35 to $5!" —Stephen, 33, Ohio "I have a potato chip maker that sits in my cabinet. It was cool the first and second time we made them, but honestly, they're not that good, and slicing the potatoes that thin is a pain in the butt. Maybe I'll wow my grandkids with it, but for now it's hiding up on the shelf." "Turkey baster. We got it for a turkey once and then never used it." —Anonymous "Many hyper-specific 'Make your own X!' gadgets are my family's main regrets. A SodaStream and ice cream-making attachment for our KitchenAid comes to mind. You can only use them for specific foods and recipes, and it's more of a hassle than it's worth, especially now that I've found homemade ice cream recipes that don't need a maker or mixer." "Why did I buy the sous vide gadgets? I have never used them." —wickedmatcha306 "My automatic can opener." "A knife set. Only use three to four, and the rest sit in the knife block." —Anonymous "I bought a food chopper for garlic and herbs, but it didn't do a good job, required just as much work and time, and was hard to clean." "I bought an egg cooker that I've only used once, which makes hard-boiled eggs without tons of water. The thing works and was only $10, but nothing prepares you for the horrible screeching sound it makes when the eggs are done. The instructions don't make any mention of it. The noise scared me and my cats to death! I promptly cleaned up, put it back in its box, and threw it into the furthest recesses of my cabinet, never to see the light of day again. Regardless of the convenience and price, that screeching sound just isn't worth it!" —fluffycactus311 "Microwave omelette maker. Useless. My omelette turned out like a piece of old leather, and I followed the instructions." "Waffle maker. It takes up so much space!" —Sandra, Instagram "I bought one of those breakfast sandwich makers. Total waste of money." "Pasta roller. Not the attachment for the KitchenAid mixer, a standalone pasta roller that you can clamp to a table or countertop to roll out lasagna, fettuccine, or linguine. I've had it for 20 years and haven't used it even once. Oh, I've thought about using it plenty of times, but it's so much easier just to use dried pasta or even to get fresh pasta from the Italian store down the street from me." —Aubrey W "I bought a specialty large colander that fits my Delta sink that has a ledge to place items on. It's huge. I never use it. It doesn't store well, but I'm afraid to throw it away because what if one day I have to make five boxes of spaghetti or something?" "I carried around an apple corer across the country and into a new house, and finally I realized I'm not gonna make apple pie if I haven't in the last 10 years..." —Robin, Instagram "Juice extractor. I hate the cleanup." "Peeler and garlic press. I prefer using a knife to peel carrots/potatoes or chop the garlic. I forgot that I have both of these." —Anonymous "Ravioli maker. I've never used it." "Spätzle maker. I've used it once." —Adrienne, Instagram "Cheese cutter — just use a knife." What else belongs on this list? Let me know in the comments or fill out the anonymous form below!

Woman Wants to Skip Mother-in-Law's Birthday After Feeling 'Emotionally Depleted' Trying to Maintain Their Relationship
After enduring years of subtle jabs and backhanded compliments, one woman decides it may be time to skip her mother-in-law's birthday celebration A woman seeks advice from the Reddit community following a decision that has sparked tension in her family: she doesn't want to attend her mother-in-law's birthday dinner this year. While she admits it's just one evening, she's emotionally drained from years of uncomfortable encounters and thinly veiled criticism. 'My in-laws present themselves as easygoing, religious Christians,' she writes in her post, 'but in reality they can be quite judgmental and snobbish.' She adds that both she and her husband are aware of this dynamic, having dealt with numerous situations where they were made to feel like the problem, even when her in-laws were the ones bending the truth. Her mother-in-law, she says, has always made her feel uneasy. 'She often talks about her career peak from 30 years ago and seems to evaluate other women through that lens,' she shares, adding that the compliments she does receive feel less than sincere. What makes matters worse is how fixated her mother-in-law seems to be on her sister, someone she's only met once. 'We suspect it's because my sister happens to live and work in a city my mother-in-law used to visit for business,' the woman explains. 'It feels like some strange competitiveness or projection.' This strange dynamic has even been noticed by others, including the woman's own mother. 'My mom has noticed how fake-nice my mother-in-law acts when my sister is mentioned,' she writes, which has led her and her husband to start 'gatekeeping info about her to avoid the tension.' The emotional distance was clear from day one, even on the woman's wedding day. 'The only thing she said to me was 'Your dress is nice,' ' she recalls. 'No congratulations, no meaningful words — just that.' Now, with another birthday approaching, the woman is torn between keeping the peace and protecting her own mental well-being. 'I know it's just one dinner, but I always leave feeling emotionally depleted,' she writes. Her husband, she says, understands her feelings, but both are aware that skipping the event might stir up even more drama. Her mother-in-law 'treats her birthday like a major life event,' she explains, adding that while she respects that, she personally doesn't care much for birthdays. In previous years, she has gone out of her way to be thoughtful and generous. 'I've given her thoughtful gifts — a Kindle, a very luxurious hand cream,' she shares, but notes with disappointment that she's never seen her mother-in-law use them or even acknowledge them afterward. 'It's not about the gifts,' she realizes. 'She just wants people physically present for the performance of it.' She points to last year as an example, when her mother-in-law had three separate groups bring her cakes. The woman and her husband took her out to a nice dinner that evening, deliberately skipping dessert, believing it would align with her focus on healthy eating. 'She still seemed disappointed as if we were supposed to bring a fourth cake,' she writes. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The invitation this year was similarly off-putting. 'Just yesterday, while we were at her house, she suddenly said to me: 'Let's eat on 5th September, I think you'll be free,' ' she shares, noting how it wasn't even framed as a question or discussed like a typical invitation. That moment hit a nerve for her, as her mother-in-law rarely speaks to her directly about other family gatherings. 'But when it's her birthday, she always corners me like this,' she adds. It's not just about one dinner or one awkward exchange. 'I'm struggling to celebrate someone who never connects with me emotionally, never appreciates the gifts I give,' she writes, 'and seems happiest when she's comparing me or my family unfavorably to hers.' Now she's left wondering if she's in the wrong for not wanting to go. 'AITA for wanting to sit this one out?' she asks, openly looking for guidance. 'If yes, what should I do?'

31 Pet Products For The Problems You Should've Anticipated
A dog-paw scrubber for all-in-one paw cleaning that won't bother your pooch and certainly won't bother you now that your floors will be free of muddy paw prints after wet spring walks. A car door protector if your pooch loves hanging their head out the window and catching a breeze, but you hate the scratches their nails leave on leather. A microchip pet feeder so you don't have to physically stand there and watch your kitties during mealtime to ensure that your one problem child doesn't eat their siblings' food. These feeders only open when they recognize a specific cat's microchip, and close when that cat steps away — so helpful for cases of overeating or different prescription diets. A Bissell Little Green machine because you knew little accidents were inevitable, but you didn't realize that paper towels and a spray cleaner weren't going to cut it. Sometimes the mess is so bad that you need to call in reinforcements — aka this portable upholstery and carpet cleaner, which cleans deeply, penetrating household fabrics and even car interiors to erase any sign of your pet's feast involving trash can scraps. And on the topic of stains, a pack of Bissell stain-removing pads to tackle little messes with minimal effort on your part. Pee? Check! Poop? Check! Vomit? Check! (You can even use them to clean up your wine spills.) Just lay them over the spot, give 'em a stomp to activate their cleaning powders, and watch the stain disappear — no bulky carpet steamer necessary! A kibble sauce that'll jazz up your pup's pellets with real bone broth. (C'mon, human food tastes better with a little sauce, too!) If your pooch is a little picky, they might be more inclined to finish their meal when it's got a lil' drizzle of this on top! A calming diffuser kit for helping stressed-out kitties relax. This is especially useful if your cat is having trouble adjusting to new surroundings or has separation anxiety. A professional-level grooming kit if you're tired of the stress of a trip to the groomer. With this at-home kit, you can accomplish any grooming task you need without causing you or your pet any unnecessary anxiety. But the best part is the built-in vacuum and collecting container, which means that as you brush them, loose hairs are sucked up right away, so you don't have to brush and then vacuum. Or a reviewer-loved pet brush so you can deshed your furry little monster. The stainless-steel teeth are designed to reach deep, effortlessly loosening and lifting fur before it ends up embedded in your couch fibers and every black T-shirt you own. A magnetic screen door because you wanna let in the cool spring breeze (while keeping *out* the buggies) and prevent yourself from having to let your dog go out every 10 minutes. Why do dogs stand at the door and bark until you let them out only to bark at the door asking to come back in 30 seconds later??? A litter box scoop holder to *gasp* OK, but seriously. You don't want it on the floor because that's gonna spread poop particles. (Ew!) You could hang it on the wall, a huge eyesore. Just store it in this instead. (It fits almost any litter scoop design.) It'll keep the litter dust from your floor without absolutely ruining your house's vibe. A pack of odor-eliminating litter paws that'll make you sigh in relief when you realize — wow! — you can't smell anything. And by anything, I mean the smell of a stinky litterbox. One tab should give you up to seven days of freshness! A Pill Pocket treat for cats who can magically sniff out medicine no matter how you try and hide it. It's a win-win here — you win because you no longer have to force a pill down your kitty's throat, and they win because they're getting a treat *and* their medicine. A pet hair roller if you love your fur babies but hate how much they everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!! A portable pet water bottle so your pup can easily grab a drink in between zoomies sessions at the dog park. Simply the button at the top to fill the mini bowl attachment with water, then release it to stop so they can lap it up! A stimulating snuffle activity mat because it has so many benefits: 1) It can help keep their smell skills sharp, 2) It can engage their natural foraging instincts, which stimulates their brain and can help prevent boredom, 3) It can help dogs burn some energy, and 4) It can help slow fast eaters. A pet tag silencer to put an end to the grating jingle jangle of your dog's tags. A pack of dog wipes that'll come in handy on an almost daily basis. Use 'em for post-potty messes, paw cleanings, and even to rinse wrinkles (super helpful for breeds like Frenchies and bulldogs). A pooper scooper for scooping the dang poop, so you don't have to kneel down to pick it up. A "Did you feed the dog?" sign if Fido is taking advantage of confusion re: whether he was fed to trick you into giving him another scoop of kibble. A wood polish so you can hide the scratch marks from your dog's overgrown nails along the bottom of your doors and on your wood floor. A liquid tartar remover because your dog desperately needs their teeth cleaned, but also won't let you near them with a toothbrush. (Think of it as doggy mouthwash!) Just add this to their water, and you'll notice your dog's plaque and bad breath subside. A silent chew toy to keep everyone happy. It has an ultrasonic squeaker that only your dog can hear = you can watch TV, do work, read a book, take a nap, etc., without the incessant high-pitched squeak of your pup nomming on their toy. And there's no stuffing inside, so you won't need to clean gator guts! A can cover that'll keep canned food fresh if your kitty doesn't get the whole can in one sitting. It's designed to fit different can sizes, is less wasteful than single-use plastic wrap, and it won't require you to use the can covers you typically use for human food. *side eyes* A pack of pee pads for monitoring your pup's health — it's not like they can use their words to tell you when something is wrong. These absorbent pads have a color-changing layer that can alert you when you to potential issues, like a UTI or dehydration. A snout balm if your dog's nose is capital dry and CRUSTY (with a capital C). It's made with a hydrating blend of shea butter, hempseed oil, and vitamin E that'll soften cracked, sensitive skin, and it's safe to be licked. An odor and stain remover spray so you can erase the stinkiest of stinky smells that are embedded in your carpets — like that one pesky pee stain that you removed all visible evidence of, but that urine smell still smacks ya when you walk into the room. One reviewer used it to successfully remove cigarette smells from car upholstery, so you *know* this stuff works. An easy-to-digest freeze-dried dog food because you'll be grateful you have it on hand when your poor pup gets an upset tummy. Keep this bland food mix on hand if your dog has a sensitive tummy due to sickness, allergies, anxiety, routine changes, travel plans, new meds, and more. A Cat-e-Corner combo cat scratcher and side table to protect your couch from the wrath of your kitty's claws while also creating a functional surface for you to set TV remotes, a book, tissues, etc. A double-layer cat litter-trapping mat that'll grab the crystals and pebbles that hitch a ride on your cat's paws so they don't end up all over your floors. Then you can just dump the litter right back into their box! A nail grinder for trimming your pup's claws so you can cuddle without getting scratches all over your legs and arms. It's super quiet and smooth, which is ideal for dogs who get spooked by regular nail clippers.
