Let's face it. Some "innovational" kitchen tools are just plain useless. What do you think are the most overrated and unnecessary kitchen tools?

I once saw and add for an egg cracker. Nobody needs a gadget to help crack eggs.
Other useless tools are things like a cupcake corer, avocado slicer, garlic peeler . . . .

Bagel slicers, for sure. Get a good knife for chrissake and learn how to use it! Do you really eat that many bagels anyway? Also, those pump-action choppers are a horror.
