Chocolate temperers
Electric deep-fryers

At a lower price point:

Pizza stones
Charlotte moulds
Herb mincers
Preformed pie shields
Donut cutters
Muffin-top tins
Bagel slicers

Actually, though, my favourites are ones many people would dispute the
"useless" tag. My personal opinion is that the following are truly useless
and people only use them out of habit.

Microwave ovens
Nonstick pans
Stainless steel knives
