As Seen on TV: Useless Kitchen Utensils
Cracked.com's list of The 10 Most Laughably Misleading Ads points out the Handy Peel—textured gloves that are meant to replace a vegetable peeler—and the Pasta Pro—a pot with a colander as a lid. Watch the infomercials as long as you don't mind having your faith in human ingenuity drop a few levels. [via Slashfood]

The Pasta Pot thing has been driving me crazy. Every time it's on I whine out loud, company or no, "Why is there so much freakin' pasta in the pot? Who would do that? Jesus Christ!!" That's pretty much verbatim e-v-e-r-y single time. And not that I have a burning desire to own a Pasta Pot, as my regular pot and colander seem to work quite well for this particular use, but if I did, I'm thinking it would not be from a company that stuck 2 lbs of pasta in (what appears to be) a one gallon pot.
