In any case, over at the Gizmodo Gadget Blog this week, from stick blenders to melon ballers, Alton gives a detailed rundown on the kitchen aids he feels are useful, and those that are a waste of time, as well as your money. And topping his list of time wasters, are two of my own personal pet peeves -- as well.
Ice Cream Maker
• I don't have a lot of reasons for a regular ice cream maker. Good continuous-churn models are expensive, $800 to $1000. Frozen core models are messy—you have to store them in the freezer, and you're always losing parts. I don't have any great need for that.
If I didn't have access to liquid nitrogen, maybe I would. Maybe I could use one for something other than ice cream that I haven't thought up yet.
Garlic Press
• There is absolutely no reason for a garlic press to exist. It is utterly completely magnificently useless.
Amen, Alton.

When I was a kid, my aunt gave me an ice cream maker. I was pretty excited, until I realized how much work it was.
But I have to admit that I do like my garlic press.
