Oyster sauce pump

Oyster sauce is a popular condiment, but it is difficult to pour out because it is too sticky. Therefore, the oyster sauce pump was well received when it was introduced because it felt practical and useful.

However, after a period of use, the tightness between the pump and the oyster sauce bottle is very poor, cooking for a long time in the outside environment will cause the oil to spoil quickly, even turn black. Therefore, after opening the lid, use it as soon as possible and store the unopened bottle in the refrigerator.

Bamboo spice box

Many people like the natural feel of bamboo wood and use products made from this material, such as spice containers in the kitchen.

However, this spice box cannot be sealed tightly, so any spice put inside will clump, or even leak, making it unusable. In addition, when the weather is humid, especially in the rainy season, bamboo wood is susceptible to mold, which is both unsightly and harmful to the health of the user.

Silicone Sink Drain Basket

In recent years, silicone sink drain baskets have been promoted as a useful tool to hold many items such as dishcloths, brushes, pot brushes, helping to keep the space neat and tidy while always keeping items dry.

However, after using it for a while, you will find it useless because of its poor drainage efficiency, taking up space, and after a few months the inside of the basket will be moldy and smelly. If you want to install such a rack on the faucet, you should replace it with a stainless steel rack and install it on the faucet to take advantage of the horizontal space, and not worry about mold.

Garlic press

The garlic press became popular after its launch because in the advertisement, the seller used it very easily, directly shortening the time of processing ingredients when cooking. Moreover, in the videos, just a light press will crush the garlic and it is ready to cook.

In fact, in the garlic press advertising videos, the seller uses cooked garlic to make crushing easier. In reality, it is completely impossible to press raw garlic like that, and cleaning the tool after pressing is also very troublesome.

Gas stove wind shield

The seller advertises that using a gas stove windscreen can save half of the gas bill every year. Moreover, it is suitable for all types of stoves, not only blocking the wind but also effectively collecting the fire.

In fact, this is a sales promotion. The question should be asked, if it really saves gas, why don't stove manufacturers produce this part, why do they give this good opportunity to others? Moreover, when placed on the stove, during the burning process, the gas will be surrounded by the wind shield, leading to incomplete combustion, causing danger.

Extendable faucet

It is claimed that installing an extension faucet on the sink will allow water to flow from any angle like a shower, making cooking and cleaning the sink easier.

In fact, only those who have experienced it know that it is really inconvenient to use. Because if you want to bend the faucet to change direction and flush the sink, you have to use all your strength, not as easy as advertised.

Wall mounted spice rack

It is advertised that this type of shelf can be stuck anywhere, taking advantage of every centimeter of space in the kitchen and not wasting it. In fact, when you use it, you will know that it is "not as dreamy as it seems".

This type of shelf is very easy to peel off the glue after a period of use, especially when used to hang heavy objects. At that time, the glass containers of spices and salt will fall out and break, which will be dangerous if you accidentally step on them. Therefore, if you want more space to store things in the kitchen, you should install shelves with nails nailed straight to the wall, which is both sturdy and long-lasting.
