      Given his career in product design, it’s not surprising, but definitely refreshing. He is well aware of the role of some of these devices in a way many don’t.
      The more strange kitchen devices might seem pointless to the general population, but allow the disabled and elderly to live a more independent life by bringing everyday tasks back in to their ability. I’m glad to see how he points this out, too.

      As someone with a lack of mobility in one hand and looking into some one handed products, its bin helpful seeing a few or these. No one really knows how to teach you to cut one handed or perform certain actions, I mean I got crafty and figured it out in most cases but the more my hand hurts the more I find myself wishing I had one handed devices lol

    • @Maninawig
      @Maninawig 3 роки тому +10

      It also depends on the product they are testing. For instance, you get Gordon Ramey or Jamie Oliver in to test knives, you are asking how they measure up for fully abled chefs and would not give them an accessibility tool.
      Maybe a Madeline, but still, they are there for their professions, so they would observe it not just as how effective it would be for the common man, but how dangerous the design might be for a line chef to use.

      An egg cracker and an egg seperator are seperate devices. For most applications you can just use the halves of the shell to seperate the yolk, but there are cases where that's not a good idea and it's nice to have an egg seperator. (Like when you don't intend to cook the yolks, so you don't want to contaminate the yolk with the outside and edge of the shell, which most people don't clean.

    my favourite thing about this is he emphasizes accessibility. people like alton brown complain about "unitaskers" and people often make fun of these things, but they are often very useful to people with disabilities. I like to say if you're thinking "who would need this? just do it the normal way", imagine you have a disability that makes it so you have a weak grip, limited mobility, or puts you in an awkward position to the counter. Many of these gadgets allow disabled people to live more independant lives, and this guy helps make that possible!
