I think I love your videos like this because it feels like I just stopped by your house and we are just hanging in your kitchen. Such a good, lively, warm energy that your videos give off, much love!
So happy for you for finally getting clear ice 😂 I had the dip n' dots maker as a kid and was so disappointed by it. As you were getting so excited for it im just sitting here thinking "poor rachel is going to be so disappointed" 😅
The video was on in the background while I worked. While you were talking about the slot dog, I was hearing "slaw dog". I had to stop and rewind to see what you were talking about. I was confused why you would be talking about a recipe on a gadget video. P.S. slaw dogs are a fave summer cookout food. You should try!
We make a lot of lemonade because we have a huge lemon tree but the juicer we have has a switch on it to determine the amount of pulp. And you hold the lemon down so you control how much of the rind gets juiced. When you push down the juicer turns on. Would highly recommend this! Especially for margaritas where you are trying to juice a ton of limes!!
I’m the UK we used to have something that looked like ‘dippin dots’ called calippo shots which is similar to what Rachel is doing from what I see up to now but gutted we don’t have an ice cream version 😢xx
I like when the sisters are around it feels like I get to be in the forbidden girl talk instead of being told to go to my room or get that unwelcome look when girls are waiting for you to leave so they can talk unreservedly. even as an adult, it sucks feeling unwanted when fun conversations are happening.
This was my first video seeing Dibs and I LOVE how sassy she is!! Lo, Bee, and your sister (Lauren I think?) are all honest, fair, sometimes blunt, but Dibs was savage trying to understand why the clear ice was so impressive hahaha. She doesn’t understand the journey you’ve been on with clear ice or all the struggles you’ve faced!
I freaking LOVE ALL OF YOU! Thank you SO much for making my Saturday morning spectacular! P.S. thank you for the barbecue enthusiasts breakdown and knowledge of ketchup and mustard distribution. I am forever thankful! 😂😂😂
We were really lucky in our neighborhood everyone had kids our kid’s ages and so every night during the summer we would sit out and have a drink with all of our neighbors and the kids would play in our cul-de-sac. It was so unbelievably helpful when they started making the light up shoes, I cannot tell you how easy we could keep track of all the kids in the dark. I highly recommend any child under the age of five needs those.( Or under the age of 35 whatever you like, I’m not judging)
The big sphere ice cubes are *usually* used for expensive whiskey because they melt slower. The concept of them being clear is strictly for aesthetics. The restaurant I work at uses distilled water.
As a Mexican I felt stress when you cut the orange that way hahaha and later on when I understood that you don't know a citrus juicer, it's a little bit more manual but also automatic and I bet much faster that this one, in my house is always a must 😅
Spaniard here not understanding that electric juicers are not a normal household item everywhere… the more you know. I am in the “no pulp” team,so I use a colander.
Seriously digging the nice sweater shirt tucked into sweat pants :) the work at home life !! I love it!! Honestly my work at home uniform is a Tshirt and yoga capris lol so you are a shirt nicer then me lol
The carrot flower cutter thing is exactly like a pencil sharpener and your playing the age old game of who can make the longest pencil shaving ribbon 😂
I think I saw on a science show that if you use hot water your ice will freeze clear, no fancy gadget needed. I can’t confirm this though because well, it’s still just frozen water. 😂
Christopher is exactly like my husband husband and I am very similar to Rachel. I will be super excited and want to share with my husband showing him how great it is. Then he asks me very valid questions that make me less excited but reevaluate before I try again lol. I love the dynamic!
I believe that clear ice doesn't melt as quickly as "regular" ice, because it has no air bubbles in it. Also since these ice balls are large and have less surface area than several smaller ice cubes, it melts even slower. This would mean that it doesn't water down your drink as quickly as regular ice cubes.
The only thing that worked was the clear ice, and Rachel’s sweater!! Love the pattern on it! Maybe the clear ice for a romantic dinner?? Clear red for Valentine’s Day?
I just randomly saw the Shark Tank videos and I ended up in this one and I can't get over the SlotDog part. It felt like I have a SlotDog agent on my screen, enticing me to buy, as Lo continued to tell me all about it. Hahahaha!
I think the slot dog didn't work because you cooked it to regular doneness. If you cooked it to like well done levels or slightly toasty you'd get more crisped edges which would make for more smokiness.
I feel like the dip n dots would’ve gone better with a dairy based liquid so it was thicker maybe? And slotdog TM makes a huge difference when actually smoking them.
Isn't Dip N Dots whole shtick the fact that they are frozen at an unusually low temp? It likely wouldn't be replicated in a household freezer. Also, it is supposed to be ice-cream, not popsicle pellets.
Anytime I’ve seen “homemade” Dippin’ Dots, it was ice cream base dropped into liquid nitrogen. Edit: according to the Dippin Dots website they flash freeze theirs at -320°F/-195°C and will lose their shape if stored above -40°F/-40°C. So getting ahold of some liquid nitrogen is probably your best bet if you want to make them yourself.
I am new to your channel and I love your videos! You are such a joy to watch! Your family is fun, you are allfunny and you all compliment each other ! I’m hooked 🎉
Making clear ice is the hardest think to do. We get build sculptures every year at one of my jobs and the work that goes into is insane. Requires constant attention.
Rachel, that juicer would he a great option for a person like me with chronic pain, coz the machine holds the half and then squeeze it without the person having to hold it. That I can be behind that. Coz many with arthritis and/or chronic pain in general cant stand and hold the fruit to get it squeezed and I have been sad about that since I love freshly squeezed orange andnof I could do lemon too for health reasons ibstead og buying lemon juice, I most likely would. Just have a feeling that its not cheap at all 🙈 And clear ice doesnt give an aftertaste like the non clear foes, tye white unclear wiææ leace a taste and like chalk resudue in water, so thata why some people wants vlwar ice 😁 Thx for the review 😁🫂
Hi Rach, just so you can give some facts to your peanut gallery about clear ice, there are companies who make ice ‘cubes’ of different’ shapes and sizes which must be clear which they sell to up scale bars and restaurants who have mixologists and whisky bars for a fortune.
I’m curious what would happen if you took ice cream and filled the ‘dippin dots’ trays with that instead, and then re-froze it. I feel like that could work better cause it’s not a liquid when you put it in. It would probably take a bit longer to set up, but I feel like it could work and it would be more like real dippin dots anyways.
All of you Sisters are soooo Pretty❤ also Congrats to your Sisters Pregnancy, i am also Pregnant and i just reached my 28th Week 😊 cannot wait for my Boy to be born❤
Hi Rachel. I’m a believer that each type of ice has its place. I’m curious if the clear ice will be visible when fully submerged in a drink or if it’s designed more for cocktails.
Have you guys tried spiral hot dogs? You just cut a spiral all the way down them and then grill them. They are more crispy and delicious that way in my opinion. 😊
Lo’s Slotdog (TM) speech is my new favorite sound clip. Especially as it seems she hasn’t actually tried it 😂 Also, as a person who’s condo complex was built on an old citrus orchard and the left us a bunch of trees: kitchen aid had an attachment for Francesca. It’s the only way to go.
I'm from Northern Minnesota and we use can coozies all the time! Were in our mood thirties, We have a large collection of different sizes. Generally when we go out of town we get a coozies for a memory. We Love them. I love your content eh!
Oh my goodness, Lo’s my girl! I HATE oranges and their absolutely horrid smell too!! Everyone always thinks I’m crazy because it’s supposed to be a universally good smell but I CAN’T STAND IT. I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one
glad to finally find someone who shares my distaste for oranges. i genuinely cannot stand the smell, my brain processes it the same way as trash smell. the flavor doesn't bother me much because it can be pretty subdued. but the smell is just awful. someone starts peeling an orange in the room i'm in i immediately smell it and need to get out
I love Chris in every video he is 😍 The only thing in these videos that have either Chris or his sister is that Rachel changes her opinion a lot if they have a different opinion than she originally had.. that’s kind of sad. Like you dont have to agree on everything?!
Super Clear ice melts more slowly than regular ice, which is why it's popular for drinks like Whisky. It makes it so the drink doesn't get watered down as much by the time you've finished it.
Sometimes UA-camrs will mention the items that they have linked that were the biggest hit with their subscribers (via affiliate links). I find it weirdly interesting when they share that haha. It might be fun sometime if you did an All-Stars-type video that highlighted the best sellers from gadgets or makeup (on your other channel). One of my favorite UA-camrs, Jessica Braun, recently mentioned that there was a pair of leggings that did outstandingly well in terms of her subscribers going ahead and ordering them based on her recommendation. I was one of the ones that bought them and I genuinely love them! I thought it was funny that so many people had done what I did and gone ahead and bought them 😂.
We have an RO water system and when I use warm water from it, it freezes clear. The RO system removes any and all impurities - better then a brita we tested - and majority of the time I get clear ice from my trays!
The dippin dots thing just made me crack up. Tiny round ice does not equal dippin dots! And unless your kitchen just happens to have some liquid nitrogen, you aint making it at home!
What fun it is to watch you, your sister, your sister-in-law, and the whole reference to yours and Christopher’s family. Oh the sparkly shoes found in the cellar 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, anywhere you find pretty sparkly evening shoes is OK by me . a As for the hot dog “ embellisher, any way you make a hotdog is fine by me, although these look really festive. The rest of these items, no, I think I’ll keep the stuff I already have
Stressing over Rachel's white shirt as she makes dipping dots with blue liquid 😅
i was also concerned for her countertops, we all know koolaid stains 😫
I'm stressing about the way she cut the oranges hahahaha
I noticed that about the oranges, too. 😮
The fact it remained spotless throughout the video is a testament to her skill.
Lo=s analysis of Slotdog was hilarious!! I love that the whole family is involved now. Extra hilarity!!
I think I love your videos like this because it feels like I just stopped by your house and we are just hanging in your kitchen. Such a good, lively, warm energy that your videos give off, much love!

How dare you not show that beautiful ice in a DRINK?! So happy you finally found something that works for it though! 😅
I WAS WAITING FOR THAT 😢
I wanted to take it out of the mold so badly!!! 😂
Yes! It needs to be displayed in a short "rocks" glass with two fingers of... .... apple juice. Yeah, thats it, juice.
Dippin dots are ice cream, not frozen colored water…no? Love ya Shel. 😂
I’m the UK we used to have something that looked like ‘dippin dots’ called calippo shots which is similar to what Rachel is doing from what I see up to now but gutted we don’t have an ice cream version 😢xx
I thought it was freeze dried ice cream.
i used to have one of these when i was younger and all the mixes that come with it are mixed with milk and all the other recipes are mixed with milk

"And yet here I am, sharpening a cucumber." 😂😂😂 Not a quote I thought I'd ever hear.
This was my first video seeing Dibs and I LOVE how sassy she is!! Lo, Bee, and your sister (Lauren I think?) are all honest, fair, sometimes blunt, but Dibs was savage trying to understand why the clear ice was so impressive hahaha. She doesn’t understand the journey you’ve been on with clear ice or all the struggles you’ve faced!
Dibs is great! Look for her in older videos!
Fun video! That super clear ice was really pretty. I'd try freezing edible flowers in the middle to use in a pitcher, maybe.
Pretty Fruit garnishes inside too!
Ooh that sounds wonderful! It will look like the flowers are just floating...
I love how you have your family participate in your videos. It’s such a fun awesome vibe!!
I freaking LOVE ALL OF YOU! Thank you SO much for making my Saturday morning spectacular! P.S. thank you for the barbecue enthusiasts breakdown and knowledge of ketchup and mustard distribution. I am forever thankful! 😂😂😂

The white sweater and Grey sweats combo does it for me! 😂
Rachel, you never cease to amaze me. I humbly thank you!!!!
You said that ice makes you think "ice ice baby" but now because of you and chris all i thought was "FUN ICE"
The big sphere ice cubes are *usually* used for expensive whiskey because they melt slower. The concept of them being clear is strictly for aesthetics. The restaurant I work at uses distilled water.
Everyone in your family is so funny! Loved the clear ice discussion! 😂😂😂
As a Mexican I felt stress when you cut the orange that way hahaha and later on when I understood that you don't know a citrus juicer, it's a little bit more manual but also automatic and I bet much faster that this one, in my house is always a must 😅
When she sliced them like that, a dark spot developed on my soul lol.
Argentinian here, highly confused as well on borh respects
I as a Canadian was practically yelling at my screen "you cut the oranges the wrong way!!!"
Spaniard here not understanding that electric juicers are not a normal household item everywhere… the more you know.
I am in the “no pulp” team,so I use a colander.
I never saw someone slice oranges that direction Usually it’s the other way I’m curious to
See if it makes a difference
That was very upsetting
We have J Dawgs in Utah it's the slotdog concept but they put sauce on it that gets caught in all the ridges, delicious
I had the dippin' dots thing as a kid and I had so much fun with it. It was definitely better with dairy product liquids
Lo should 100% be the official Slotdog spokesperson 😂😂😂
Seriously digging the nice sweater shirt tucked into sweat pants :) the work at home life !! I love it!! Honestly my work at home uniform is a Tshirt and yoga capris lol so you are a shirt nicer then me lol
The carrot flower cutter thing is exactly like a pencil sharpener and your playing the age old game of who can make the longest pencil shaving ribbon 😂
Real Dip n Dots are actually flashed froze with dry ice as they are dripping out. So the only way anything could come close would be to use dry ice.
Gotta say, I love it when the members of the commune are present and weighing in. Favorite 'Three's Company'-esque show on UA-cam #SlotDogTM
“Members of the commune.” Hahaha. 😂
I think I saw on a science show that if you use hot water your ice will freeze clear, no fancy gadget needed. I can’t confirm this though because well, it’s still just frozen water. 😂
they do make a clear ice one that makes a whole tray of giant cubes. same principle but more ice! Definitely works!
Christopher is exactly like my husband husband and I am very similar to Rachel. I will be super excited and want to share with my husband showing him how great it is. Then he asks me very valid questions that make me less excited but reevaluate before I try again lol. I love the dynamic!
The direction in which she cut those oranges. 😳
I love how she reallly triessssss the product and not just say it’s a fail
Clear thumbs up for Dibs!
Y'all are so much fun together! ❤
I would love to hear you talk about temu gadgets, I’d love to see someone who isn’t sponsored by them do a review

Also , love that bravely chose to wear a white top whilst using blue raspberry anything. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I think the slot dog didn't work because you cooked it to regular doneness. If you cooked it to like well done levels or slightly toasty you'd get more crisped edges which would make for more smokiness.
Lo’s promotion of the slot dog is everything 😂
Direction of orange cutting is triggering my OCD ... cut the other way around lol lol lol 😊
I feel like the dip n dots would’ve gone better with a dairy based liquid so it was thicker maybe? And slotdog TM makes a huge difference when actually smoking them.

How do you find what to test on Amazon? I know you've mentioned the most wished for items sometimes, but how do you find those? Just curious 🙂
Making clear ice is the hardest think to do. We get build sculptures every year at one of my jobs and the work that goes into is insane. Requires constant attention.
Finally! Someone that constructively dismisses oranges as much as I do! I’m ready to light up candles here just by watching this video. 😂😂

I love that testing the juice bitterness you went with the lemon juice and not the orange juice. :D
I love the clear ice spheres for bourbon or whiskey. I would buy that clear ice maker.
Shoutout to Christopher’s shirt.
For some reason I'm horrified at how she chose to slice that orange for juicing.
I’m curious what would happen if you took ice cream and filled the ‘dippin dots’ trays with that instead, and then re-froze it. I feel like that could work better cause it’s not a liquid when you put it in. It would probably take a bit longer to set up, but I feel like it could work and it would be more like real dippin dots anyways.
OMG I have never met someone who hates oranges as much as I do lol! I feel you Lo!
All of you Sisters are soooo Pretty❤ also Congrats to your Sisters Pregnancy, i am also Pregnant and i just reached my 28th Week 😊 cannot wait for my Boy to be born❤
The dipndots possibly didn't work because you used koolaid and it made a slushy. If you use milk based to made ice cream it might work better.
The Slotdog commercial😂😂😂🤩😍 she was so passionate😂😂😂🤩😍
The way the oranges were cut 😯
... but Dippin dots are ice CREAM...
Just wondering if you pealed the fruit and then used the juicer would you get the clear juice and could you juice many at the same time that way?
Hi Rachel. I’m a believer that each type of ice has its place. I’m curious if the clear ice will be visible when fully submerged in a drink or if it’s designed more for cocktails.
Missed seeing Dibs on the channel!! ❤
True cocktail purists have a deeper love for clear ice
11:50
Not the “😐🥴…… it’s so good…..”
Yeah I totally believe you💀
the way you cut those oranges omg the orientation had me clutching my hair help

Oh my goodness, Lo’s my girl! I HATE oranges and their absolutely horrid smell too!! Everyone always thinks I’m crazy because it’s supposed to be a universally good smell but I CAN’T STAND IT. I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one
Would the dipndots thing would’ve worked it if it was ice cream liquid? Or something of the sort. Or like, smooth yogurt?
We had something like the slot dog here at our dollarama a few years ago. My boys actually loved it
glad to finally find someone who shares my distaste for oranges. i genuinely cannot stand the smell, my brain processes it the same way as trash smell. the flavor doesn't bother me much because it can be pretty subdued. but the smell is just awful. someone starts peeling an orange in the room i'm in i immediately smell it and need to get out

Super Clear ice melts more slowly than regular ice, which is why it's popular for drinks like Whisky. It makes it so the drink doesn't get watered down as much by the time you've finished it.
the ONLY way to do Clear ice is to use Distilled Water; the second device is so UNUSEFUL XD
Tbf the clear ice would be good for drink promotions/advertising x

@@StarleighMae Yes! Exactly!
The Alex Lemonade juicer is great and has a pitcher that the juice goes into.
We have an RO water system and when I use warm water from it, it freezes clear. The RO system removes any and all impurities - better then a brita we tested - and majority of the time I get clear ice from my trays!
I have the juicer and love it!
Love love your top , I hope there is a link available.
😂 Loe’s passion about Slotdog… I usually just put the condiments inside the bun, not on top
Love your channel. I usually get clear ice when I start with hot water. Lol maybe I’m just lucky.
That juicer would be good for arthritic people
Can you test the ice and see if you make it and put it a tray in the freezer while you make more if it stays clear?
Lo is killing me with the Slotdog in home commercial!
The dippin dots thing just made me crack up. Tiny round ice does not equal dippin dots! And unless your kitchen just happens to have some liquid nitrogen, you aint making it at home!
You could make two clear ice cubes then put them in a zip log and do more batches for a nyt with visitors? 😅
I’m stressing over the way you cut the oranges 😭😭😭😭😭
