      @@SortedFood That first thing reminds me of a thing here in Sweden. French Hotdogs. Which is as the name suggests, a hotdog or sausage stuffed into a hollowed out baguette. Can find them pretty much everywhere they sell hotdogs, and they are often a bit more expensive as they come with more sauce. A Tip too, pour some sauce/ketchup/condiment along the rim, so that as the sausage is pushed in, it pulls some of the condiment with it, properly coating the inside

      I've had numerous push pedal trash cans and the lever device is often underpowered or breaks easily or the lid flops off the mechanism. I went through 3 of them breaking before I bought the simplehuman slimline pedal can over a decade ago, and with very heavy use it still works perfectly. They don't sell it anymore, but I'm pretty confident it's going to last so long that it won't matter. Their stuff is very pricey, but after 3 failed trash cans in 5 years, I kind of feel like it's worth it. I definitely wouldn't get the voice one, though, that feels very unnecessary especially when the pedal model is so durable and can lock open hands-and-foot-free as well.

    We had that bin...Dad is an early adopter. Used it for a year before replacing it with their pedal one. The Microphones loose sensitivity over time and it does randomly open and close. When the battery is low it might not open at all. Also if you have dogs that are at sensor height it's really easy for them to access. It is also really easy to dent. So while it is nice in theory its not very practical. Save your money and get the step/non voice activated one..

      For this price range I'd recommend a bin that packs itself as well, like "TowNew" or similar. I have "TowNew" for 4 years now, it works like a charm and I've never had a problem with it. It is great for our bathroom. For the kitchen, of course, 1 or 2 compartments are a joke. I need at least 6 to sort everything, lol (paper, glass+metal, plastic, general rubbish, food scraps for composting and bottles to return for deposit). Recycling is really on another level in my country. I could not do with 2 compartments only.😅

      I will never understand pinching the blade and leaving half the handle unused.
      I get that it decreases the lever arm, giving you more control over a long knife, but in so doing it negates the ability to use the length of the blade over which your fingers are positioned--and as shown in this clip, it reduces comfort, as well as control compared to a full hand grip on the handle of a shorter knife--thus requiring an extra gadget.
      If you need the extra control provided by holding closer to the tip, just use a shorter knife for tasks that need a shorter blade! I have 5", 7", and 9" chef's knives (Santoku, Partoku, and Western), 3" and 4" paring knives, 5" and 6" utility knives, and long carving knives..... the 3" paring and 5" utility blades get 70% of my use, and the 6" utility gets probably another 20%. I could seriously do 90% of my prep work with just a 5 or 6" utility or chef's knife.
      If the manufacturer intended for you to hold the knife by the spine, they would have placed the handle over that portion and shortened the heel.

    • @bloodgain
      @bloodgain 10 місяців тому +4

      ​@@eldoradocanyonro There are different grips, and some people use a different grip that works better for them. I switch grips for some tasks myself. But there's a reason nearly every professional in a Western kitchen uses the pinch grip. In a professional kitchen, efficiency and function will win out, no matter how someone was trained to do something. Are you saying you know better than several centuries worth of full-time professional knife-users?
      I'd like to see you use a Chinese chef's knife (cleaver style) by holding only the handle. Even if you can control it, your hand will be fatigued in half an hour. I frequently use a two-finger pinch on mine because of the weakness caused by arthritis.

      Does the plastic spike heat up enough to toast the bun? I'm honestly surprised to hear that. Admittedly I didn't think of winter gear, but I'd imagine the uneven-condiment-distribution issue would be a big concern, and cutting the bun from the side would solve most of the slipping-out issue.

    All you need for clear ice is a cooler, like a smaller igloo preferably in a rectangular shape. Fill it with water, stick it in the freezer. Because of the insulated sides, it will freeze from the top to the bottom. Doing this pushes the air molecules down to the bottom as the water freezes by forming tight bonds while freezing. This is why ice cubes look the way they do, they're not insulated on the sides, so it pushes the air to the center, making more bonds with the air and "impurities" as it freezes and making micro-cracks that make it cloudy.
    Boiling water or distilling/distilled water doesn't make a big enough difference unless you have absolutely terrible water to begin with. I've used regular hard tap water and it worked just fine in an Igloo lunch cooler that I used in college. You do have to let it freeze for awhile, so at least 24 hours. What you will be left with is a solid top and then some shell/shards of ice on the bottom that you can easily cut or melt off. You can look up the same tutorials on youtube, but that will be the gist of it.
    Benefits of clear ice: It lasts longer and it looks cool. Technically, it should taste a bit better, too, but it depends on the water (which is where cleaner water does help). You can cut it by scoring the top with a knife a few times and then using it with something heavy (a small rubber mallet, piece of wood, etc) and punching down. Ice does dull your blades, so use something pretty cheap. It also helps if it's serrated, so like a bread knife.

In the last month or so it has started closing unexpectedly. Also sometimes the sensor doesn't pick you up if you are wearing dark clothing or something (solved by waving your hand instead). We now use generic rubbish bags with it as the matching liners were quite expensive. Despite all that, I would still recommend it if it's in your budget.

    3:00 - the 1st gadget works the way we usually do a hot dogs in Czech Republic. I mean these "simple" hot dogs only bun with sausage and ketchup or mustard (usually only one of them in one hot dog, we don't usually mix those).
    We cut the very tip of the bun so it's the rod can enter the bun easilly and on top of that, the rod is almost always made of metal and it's heated so it heats up the bun from inside before we insert the sausage.
    And as you mentioned, this way your sauce will be almost always smashed on the bottom. And you cannot stuffy any other fillings (like onions or pickles). But it's convinient as a street food, because nothing falls of and you can easilly eat it only with one hand.
    Your style of hot dogs is being spread in our country rather recently (like 10-20 years) and they are getting popular too.

    A similar Hot Dog Drill device is used all over Austria in sausage stands and Imbisses. Except they are electric and heated, so they set and toast the bread, usually a baguette, around the hole to firm it up. Then condiments and sausages (bratwurst, Krakauer, käsekrainer, etc.) are placed in and the whole thing can be eaten on the go. I know it seems a bit crazy, but it’s so effective and it’s the only way I would want it done now!
    Also, when it comes to testing ingredients you’ve never had before, can I suggest Waldmeister? It’s a plant that we use in Germany and Austria to flavour sweets and drinks. Products with this flavour are usually neon green, so will look good on camera too!

    In Switzerland, most hot dog sellers have long metal spikes next to the container that heats up the sausages and we impale baguette-like bread on them (after cutting off the tip to make a flat surface). We don't really do the soft brioche bun here and the baguette-like bread works better (bc it's sturdier) Sauce gets pumped in and the sauce follows with metal tongs.
    It's great as a street food bc you can hold it in one hand and there's minimal mess. My favourite version is with a smoked, coarser kind of sausage and a pretzel-type baguette.
    A while back, some people went mad and invented the "Fondue dog" which is the same whole set-up but instead of sauce and sausage, they pour in a fondue. I keep meaning to try one.

    The ever grip looks great. I would love a video reviewing knives of different price points and showing some basics of knife skills.

    I would love to see the outtakes/behind the scene footage from that hot dog segment. Bet there was a few more giggles than shown in the final cut 🤣!

    Got a motion sensor bin from Amazon 2 years ago. Love it so much.
