The frugal gourmet

I'm sure you'll figure out its quirks, you're tricky like that

And it looked so nice and shiny and sturdy in the pic!

It's so disappointing when you're waiting for some really cool kitchen gadget, and it arrives, and then it turns out to be crap.

I just had that experience with a julienne peeler. The tips of the cutting blades were bent over. I thought it must be some kind of manufacturing defect, but the replacement was just the same. Had to conclude that it was just a piece of crap!

I find the use of the word "quality" these days is such that it no longer means anything at all!
