What Tupperware don't you use?

The FB tupperware group got me thinking about what tupperware I have but don't use that I could get rid of, but I realised I use all of it except for a host gift I got years ago - it is a big round red quiche form and its too big so I've never used it. And I have a lot of tupperware so I reckon I'm certainly getting my moneys worth out of it.

So what tupperware do you have that you don't use? Was it something you thought you'd use but then realised you wouldn't or are you like me and just aquired it?

Cake decorator. It's just not as good as I expected it to be.

That meat marinator thing - we bought it and then went vego not long after it arrived. We still use it, just not the way it was intended.

The Pick-a-deli - Apparently you can use it for olives, but we have a small fridge, and most olive jars are smaller than the actual container.

I think that's all. I got two mystery packs last year, so they're always hit and miss. Mostly hit.

I got a jelly mould. Never ever used it. Probably never will....

Love Tupperware but never had use for the FridgeSmart.

Oh gosh, I love the FridgeSmarts!!! Love love love them!

Hamburger press. Never used it.

Think outside the square. I make a pizza in my jelly mould, and I have seen black forest cake done in one too. I would never use mine for jelly LOL.

This has got me thinking now, I do actually think I use most of my tupperware, like others not always for what it was intended for.

The one thing I don't think I got my moneys worth with is that quick chef thing that is meant to whip cream, chop etc.

i think you ladies need to make a special "tupperware sale" thread... you could make some money...
im sure there are some of us that would buy your unwanted items.
just a thought... it could be an ongoing thread that people could add to anytime.

I have a box that I got when I was 16 at the very first tupperware party I ever went to. It was like a kitchen starter kit. Think I only ever took out the measuring spoons and possibly cups from it LOL. Still in the back of my cupboard.

One thing I have that I rarely use is my microwavable 1ltr jug.

I got some tupperware about a year ago, but I haven't got around to using any of it yet ...

got some kids kitchen bits and pieces, and some things to keep my veggies fresh longer, and some little moulds ...

I'll get it all out of the box soon, but not today ...

My gosh! i use my jug every single day! Most of my Tupperware is acquired! i used to be manager, the amount of stuff you get is insane!

I actually use all of mine, my fridge is basically nothing but fridgesmart containers.

One thing I use rarely (but will never get rid of) is the old school rolling pin & rolling out mat. I know they don't make it anymore and I know Astrid got all excited when she saw it at my place.

I use my long narrow fridge smart containers all the time, they are the perfect size for holding all my d/w liquid, sponges, torch etc under my kitchen sink. And the round lettuce one is used pretty regularly to clean out the fish tank :redface: I could never get in to using them for their intended use anyways.

For over 2 years, 5 days a week though, DH and I take a salad to work for lunch in our square containers - clear bottoms with green lids and they are stackable and liquid tight. Have definitely got my money's worth. And the half a square one is great for keeping half an avocado green.

I use all of mine mostly because I've only bought stuff that I absolutely 100% know i'll use straight away.

Except I've never personally used the hamburger presss... DH wanted it and he's king of hamburgers in this house so it gets used plenty, but not by me.

Don't use the hamburger press. Not sure why I bought it, other than I remember my mum having it.
The jug with the 2 part lid. Does get used, but not in the intended way. Just an expensive water jug now.
So glad I tested the cake decorator kit, otherwise I would have wasted money on that.
I use the sifter, but I am not 100% happy with it. Find it takes too long, but the lid/bottom part is handy.

Love my fridge smarts :D

Ooh mine's the jelly mould too....how the heck do you make pizza Astrolady? Though no great loss as it was an offcast of my mums.

I use the rest of mine. My measuring cup set was my grandmothers.

pizza? HOW?! Please explain! LOL.

And can I also add...you are EVIL! I have spent the last hour looking at tupperware on ebay! LOL. I found so much stuff my Mum had and want... wishing I'd never let my brother take everything when Mum died.

Oh. And there are several of those rolling pins and matts on Ebay at the moment ;)

I have all the vegetable keepers somewhere... I haven't used them in ages... yet I still keep all my jars in the drawers from when I did.

The deli stuff too.. Don't use that either. And I should.

The foldable containers.

The stuff I use the most are the silver and black storage containers and the cake/slice ones. Oh and the rock and serves, and my microwavable jugs.

Oh wait... the most items I use are the peeler, garlic press, can opener and spatulas. LOVE THEM! Although lately my spatulas have been getting bendy.

I don't use the stupid cheese airer thingy biggest waste of money!!
Foldable containers never used was given them

Use happy chopper lots and rock and serve etc.

Love my fridge smarts. I didn't believe they would work so I borrowed one & tested it out. Definitely works with bok choy!! :)

I don't use my picnic stuff. I mean to each time the season comes along but I just don't.

Fridge smarts are constantly in the fridge, we also use the pick a deli constantly for pickled onions or gherkins etc oh and I love my big black cooking thingymajig LOL... You know the one that goes in the microwave then the oven, it's awesome!! The gravy/sauce boat is used regularly too and I have all the cake containers too, they aren't used all the time but they are good to have. The collapsible containers are crappy though!

My mum used to use the deli pickers for storing tinned beet root. Never stained it.

Like quite a few others on here I don't use the cake decorator - it looked great in theory but in practice it requires ALOT of icing and it just isn't practical :rolleyes:.

Love my fridge smarts tho and also love my marinating thingies :D you know the black and clear ones?? I use them all the time mainly for toring and transporting cakes and slices.

my cheese container. too bulky in the end and you can't mix and match hard and soft cheeses.

those squishable containers. the lids are impossible, and they dont fully pop out OR in.

I use most of mine except pick a delis and the meat marinader thingy. Although now since I have a thermomix I don't use my grater either.

I love my fridge smarts and my red microwave jug and most of the other stuff are modular mates or various storage containers that I use allll the time for everything.

Oh one thing I don't use is my lunchbox. But I do use the sandwich keeper and drink bottle regularly.

DH actually said yesterday that it's a good thing I have so much Tupperware as we are moving to the farm and it keeps the mice etc out. I never thought I'd hear those words from him lol. I have loads and loads of containers as I have a thing about putting everything in a container. I can't even eat chips out of a packet they have to in a bowl or container. Weird I know but it keeps Tupperware happy lol.

I don't have much so use it all - love my pick a deli as often buy olives in bags from farmers market and that makes it easier.

The cheese thingy is too big you are right, I have a French friend who has a half size one they did in France but not over here, she loves it - I wonder if they come up on eBay?

Tupperware obviously thinks we all have humongous fridges over here, maybe with smaller houses becoming more popular necessary might see some different ranges.

i love my tupperware! i use my pick a deli for beetroot.

i don't use my fridgesmart thingy for lettuce very often - not because it doesnt work, it does really well - but because our fridge is just too small.

Yes cheese thing defiantly too big takes up so much room.

Pizza in a jelly ring.

Sit mould on bench upside down, so the large seal is facing up. Take seal off (leave the cone shaped seal on) and spray with cooking oil. Place grated cheese around the bottom, then do layers of your favourite pizza toppng. I just sprinkle what I want around. Get bread and cut off the crust, then smear pizza sauce onto each slice. Cut slices in half, or so they are wide enough to fit between the outer and inner moulds then layer the bread, so each piece is just overlapping the one before.

Get the grated cheese and repeat. I usually do three layers in total, and you must finish of with bread. It also is beneficial to have the last layer slightly higher than the rim of the mould as you need to squash it all down to make sure the moulding works. Place the large seal back on, and with the large seal on the bottom place in the fridge for about half hour.

Warm up oven to 180c. When you are ready to cook, place back on bench with large seal facing up and remove the seal. place a baking tray over the mould and flip it, so the cone seal is now facing up. remove the cone seal, then remove the outer mould slowly.Place in oven for approx 20 mins.

The only thing we don't really use is a big salad bowl we got in a freebie pack. It's too big for us for everyday use. Plus it's ugly! Really not a fan of bright orange!

The big pick a deli isn't used as much as the smaller ones, but it does get used if big tins of beet root are in special lol

Our pantry is nothing but modular mates...
The marinating containers aren't used for marinating often (one is but the other two arent). We find them a fantastic size (the bugger ones) for storing larger cakes/scones, or to use for freezing pastries. DH is cooking sausage rolls this arvo towards dd birthday so they will get stashed in one of those in the freezer...

We got rid of pretty much anything we font use before we moved

I don't really use any of mine :(

We have stacks of Tupperware, DP is as big a fan as I am. The only thing that doesn't get used is the collapsible containers. A friend gave me all of her Tupperware when she went overseas and these are the only thing from her stash we haven't used.

Rock n serve, all the various kids' stuff, Fridgesmart, sandwich keepers, measuring cups, sifter, little funny utensils, it all gets used here.

I still have a bag of stuff from when I was a demonstrator that I don't use.

My fav thing though - that when it was released for the very first time I thought who would pay $65 for THAT (I got 2 free) is the speedy chef. OMG I will never beat cream again - even in my stand mixer I tend to curdle it. 20 seconds in this and bam it's done. I love love love it.

Happy chopper (with draw string) another fav and the fridge smart. I use a few modulars too :)

I don't use the serving trays I got or the shake it quick since they changed the measurements on it - I still use my old one.

I have bought all my tupperware from op-shops or garage sales, but only plain old square containers, or big cake containers (have an enormous square one, its probably 40cm square at least), both square and round. I have been to a few tupperware parties, but never could see the sense in buying new tupperware, it just seems so expensive.

I had a lettuce container, which hardly got used, so got rid of that.

The Oven-Pro.. is that what it called, plastic but you use it in the oven as a dish or roaster.. was sold as it was on special and the woman RAVED about them.. i just didn't need it really.. never been out of the cupboard. Should sell it.

My mum got us the cake decorator! It's the most useless thing in the world!
How do you even clean it out without wasting half the mixture and seriously how do you clean it out?? I had to soak mine for a day!
I love all the kids containers and cups with the lids! Though they keep disappearing!

I got one of these new a couple of years ago. It was a limited release re run ;)

Not so keen on the vege keeper fridge thingies or the bread keeper or the oven/microwave casserole dish thing. Currently trying to get DH to sell them. Have a 3 stack stack cooker and cookbook that I'm not likely to use waiting to be sold as well.

Like my jelly mould - only ever make the black forest cake in it though
