ITALIANS AND SUPERFLUOUS TOOLS: THE NEW CRAZE - KITCHEN

Italians and tools: the new craze

As many as 74 out of 100 respondents admitted to having bought tools that ended up in the bottom of a drawer. 21% of the sample have at least three "superfluous" tools: 27% have an apple slicer or a core lever and 13% a pineapple slicer.
The number rises considerably when it comes to machines for making pasta and bread at home (we are almost 50%), but (unfortunately) the majority of these accessories end up becoming a piece of furniture for your kitchen rather than a useful culinary tool. . The same goes for machines like Bimbi and tools like the famous MiracleBlade knives.

Interesting is the fact that many admit to having bought the objects in question in complete autonomy, but then they had to change their mind and consequently repent of the purchase.

But what are the reasons why they let themselves be tempted and ended up from the shop to the kitchens of the house? 53 out of 100 Italians believed they were buying useful items, 24% were driven by the desire to improve their cooking skills and 6% relied on the advice of famous chefs.

“We tend to think that cooking at home is a form of guaranteed savings but the data from our survey remind us of an aspect that we often tend to underestimate. Cooking has a cost that is not only given by the raw materials but also by the tools we buy in an attempt to simplify our life, ending up instead complicating our bank account and filling our kitchen with utensils that we will never use. " said BenvolioPanzarella, General Manager of JUSTEAT.it.

In short, whether they are necessary or impulsive purchases, one thing is certain, in recent years Italians have bought superfluous kitchen utensils for an amount of 2.4 billion euros. Could it be the case to rely on the now underestimated hands, which are the best utensil in all kitchens in the world?
