I wouldn't use that thing. I'd forget to grab it before I start anyway and also when I'm done using my whisk I just swizzle it around in dish water anyway. Comes clean every time. 👍
Chef cut gloves make so much more sense than those finger guards. Nice reviews of all the products. I did wonder how the mixer bowl guard would've vorked on a stand mixer, probably perform badly there too. That apple peeler worked well. I wonder if you wet the counter if the suction cups would've stuck , sometimes that works on surfaces the suction cups won't initially stick to.
Reviews said it didn't work well for potatoes. I personally have the basic Rotato Express (about $20-25) which works great for potatoes, apples, and several things. He had it in his best of 2019 video I think.
I have this peeler as well as the rotato. This peeler will not peel anything except apples, maybe peaches, but not potatoes. The rotato peels literally anything you throw at it.
Always enjoy your reviews. Being a baker I can tell you the splatter gaurd is made for a stand mixer with only one mixing attachment such as a paddle, wise or dough hook.
And this is a good one as well, I pictured it either with a deep bowl with my hand blender (I had mentioned pudding in a previous comment) or with my KitchenAid when starting to mix up doughs.
Yeah, not really chief. He has an Amazon link in his description for the splatter guard and, yeah, it mainly shows hand held mixers. Also, you do realize stand mixers rotate in circles right? How tf would you be able to put a splash guard on something that spins in a wider radius than the splash guard has? The splash guard would literally move around with the "paddle" you suggested until it flys off
What? Have you ever used a stand mixer at all? There is no way that thing would work with a stand mixer. The range of motion of the shaft is way wider than that hole on the guard. It would be grabbing the shield and throwing it all over the place and into the stand of the mixer.
Amazing. Maybe James and Timothy should take a good look at a stand mixer some day, they might learn something. Of course they might decide to pick a fight with it instead. Yeah, I was cracking up watching him try to manage an immersion blender in dry powder with this thing lol, all I wanted was one stand mixer so he could see how it really works
I think it's really intended for stand mixers, too. Having said that, looking at it, the center opening isn't large enough to accommodate the motion of a plenary motion mixer like a Kitchenaid stand mixer.
Nice reviews though I did have a couple observations. With the splatter / mixer guard thingy, I have no idea how it was advertised, but to me it looked like it would be good for a stand mixer. And for the finger guards, you mentioned them not fitting your fingers well potentially, but from the video it looked like they could be stretched and resized to fit.
I thought the same thing about the finger guards. They looked like they could be opened up to fit your fingers. They are similar to guitar finger picks and you can stretch those open.
I have had the finger guards for about 4 years now and love them. They are adjustable so they will fit you properly if you size them up. They should not go past your natural nail and you get used to them pretty fast. I am disabled and they allow me to cook with confidence.
When I was a kid we had an apple peeler, corer, slicer that was really nice. It was pretty much the same concept as the peeler. It came with a clamp that screwed to the side of the table for stability.
Yup. I still have some of those and use them. The ones I have were made to last although I'm sure someone must have made some cheap ones as well. Also, not sure how they made the blades last so long either. Which reminds me that I should start looking into blade replacements before it's too late.
You need to show how much of the food comes off the whisk using the old methods like banging the whisk on the rim of the bowl or using a rubber spatula!
I feel like the anti-splatter guard would have much more use if wet ingredients were involved. If it were all wet ingredients, you wouldn't really need to move the mixer around, just let it run and it would mix. If it were a combination of wet and dry ingredients, like, say, a batter, you could use the guard at the beginning when they're still mostly separate, and take it off to get the sides and whatnot once the risk of splattering has reduced, which normally happens once the wet and dry ingredients start to come together.
or just start at lowest speed in the beginning when the ingredients are not well mixed and gradually increase the speed on the beater as the ingredients begin to form a homogeneous mix.. there's a reason why they come with atleast 5 speeds ....
@@FilmScoutingEnthusiast it appears to be for a stand mixer like KitchenAid. I haven't seen the info for it tho. It could say its for use with a hand mixer. As he showed, it could be done...although it could prove to be quite fiddly and not worth the effort.
"...a cross between a nail salon and Edward Scissorhands"🤣🤣 "..it's not like it was demoted to a non finger." 🤣🤣 I love your reviews; you are so relatable!
Love your videos. Just a couple observations. For the apple Peeler suction cups to work better, try wetting the surface a bit first . I always have to do this to get any suction cups to grab the surface. For the mixing bowl cover, this would be absolutely perfect for a stand mixer. The bowls you used for the demonstration are not considered "mixing bowls", but more of a casserole bowl. While it may still be a bit problematic with a hand mixer, using a proper mixing bowl (which looks what it is designed for), it would still be better than nothing. You would just have to stop occasionaly to scrape the sides vs scraping as you mix. Obviously its not going to work for a shallow bowl and a hand mixer. Based on this, I think your negative comments should be reevaluated. Still love your videos, but sometimes I scream at the TV when you use kitchen gadgets. Lol. EDIT: I did go follow the link that's posted for the splatter shield. It DOES show for use with a hand mixer and immersion blender. There was no video only pics. For this to work properly, you would need a bowl deep enough to accommodate the mixing blades. As other commenters have said, you don't normally bring out a mixer for only dry ingredients. It would be interesting to see a redo of this item using a proper mixing bowl and wet ingredients. But then again, not everyone has all the proper equipment in their kitchens for the tasks they are doing and we improvise with what we have.
I think the apple in regards to the mixing bowl cover (although I didn't think of it), I think it is really meant for use with a stand alone mixer, however I think a hand mixer or immersion mixer would work pretty well if you used a deeper bowl and flipped the bowl cover upside down, so it can glide lay smoothly over the bowl as you move a
I am sorry, somehow my original reply got messed up. I think the apple peeler is awesome. I will be buying one. If one is using the mixer cover with a hand held mixer they should turn the cover upside down. This would take the grooves out of play and allow the cover to lay flat and move with the mixer so you could more the whole bowl. It might be a little awkward but a least you wouldn't be hindered by the grooves. I think a better test would be mixing a more wet product like flour and water. I never use a mixer for dry stuff. I am also not so sure the immersion mixer should be part of this test. It is something I would never use for a dry mix and when I use mine for a wet product, it is buried deep in the button of a pot and there is no splatter.
If I recall he made the exact same mistake with with the apple peeler and slicer combo. For any suction cup to work you have to wipe both the suction cup and the surface to make sure there's absolutely no dust or particles. Making the cloth damp also creates a stronger vacuum but you have to be careful not to use too much or it will just slide all over and probably find a spot where it easily disconnects.
Those finger guards had me laughing because you only get four. I actually lost my pinkie in an accident and your speech referring to Pluto had me in stitches, lol. Im sold.
Just a note in favor of the whisk wiper (from someone who doesn't own one): Even though the wiper itself doesn't look super easy to clean, whisks aren't especially easy to clean themselves- especially if you need to use it for multiple items in a short period of time. If it gets must of the crud off of the whisk one time per use then you've probably saved yourself a number of headaches.
@@flowerchild777 It also depends on the cleaning tools you have. I have the wiper and it does work pretty well. I generally don't use it though. It does get used quite a bit for cleaning out the bowls though.
@@Midgey hahaha. I love those guys over on SortedFood! Easy cleanup is why I clean constantly while I cook and sometimes keep a small pot of water at a simmer. Dip my utensils in it and rinse them off and do a proper cleaning later.
The type of bowl might make a difference too. That isn't really a mixing bowl and is quite shallow. When I finally bought a standard mixing bowl from Walmart, I wondered how I did without it all those years. The sides are straighter, the bottom is more stable and it's heavier.
The splatter guard would work great on a KitchenAid mixer. The bowls are much deeper. the neck of the mixing tool is thin enough for the center hole. I don't see the benefit with using the splatter guard with hand type mixers.
I have a KitchenAid mixer with a splatter guard. The KA splatter guard has a much larger opening because the beater of the mixer doesn't just spin, it also travels in a circle while spinning.
@@annej5699 I was just about to say the same thing. This wouldn't work for a Kitchen Aid mixer. You run into the same problem he had with the handheld... No room for the beater to move. This would only work if the center hole was bigger to allow for the beater to move around.
The Pluto/Pinky joke. Priceless. I saw another comment about the splatter guard - when you first showed it, it looked like it was designed for one of those kitchen-aid stand mixers. It was definitely garbage for hand mixers. Beyond that....keep up the good work. Love this channel for some inexplicable reason.
I love your kitchen gadget reviews. Got the onion chopperator after showing to my sister. She got me for Christmas present. The apple peeler is amazing!
I Just do as my grandmother used to do, either use your fingers or tap it on the edge of the bowl until you get enough off. And then give it to the kids to clean it
When I use my whisk with sticky stuff, I just use a spoon or knife to get the excess off. Banging it will splatter contents making a mess. Moisten the suction cups and they will stick better.
My whisk cleaner happens to be free (I call it my tongue) I love my apple-peeler-corer-slicer. Works as fast as your peeler but does all the prep, not just one step. Looks like someone repurposed banjo picks to reduce risk of cutting fingers. The bands are adjustable which is why they are split. You just need to pry them apart to get over your manly knuckles.
The big problem with those finger guards is that it only exists to reinforce bad / dangerous technique. The way you're meant to cut things has you placing your fingertips behind your middle digits which means you're never at risk of cutting your fingertips to begin with.
That apple peeler shows what was old is new again. We had a similar one when I was a kid in the early 1960's. That one worked just as well. I have to say watching you use it brought back memories.
The splatter guard perfect test review - kitchenaid stand mixer, whisk attachment, and a carton of heaving whipping cream. If you can make butter without making a mess, then it’s an amazing product. Might also try it with a sunbeam stand mixer that spins the bowl rather than the beater, to see how well it stays in place.
Great video! I'm curious tho, what is that vegetable (?) You are cutting at 14:44? Looks like some sort of giant spring onion or something, but I've never seen one so big...
I was gifted the whisk wiper and whisk set from Pampered Chef a few years ago for my birthday or something. Anyway, I don't use the wiper much, but it does work very well with the whisks from the set.
The Whisk Wiper is the best gift, really. I asked for and got the one for Kitchen Aid Mixer Whisks and boy does it work. I use the paddle attachment most often but when I am mixing egg whites, making pudding, etc. I use my whisk and so much stays on the whisk. This cleans 99% of it off! Amazon reviews were hit and miss which really confuses me. This thing works and I highly recommend it. FYI, It's not difficult to clean. Put your water on high, switch to the sprayer and the stream will clean out all the crevices. Easy peasy every time.
When making very thin slices, the finger tip is normally folded under and the side of the knife is braced against the first row of knuckles, giving very fine control by slightly moving the entire hand after each cut. Wonder how those guards would work for doing that.
I think it would be awesome if after each review of a gadget that doesn't work well you give some ideas of how they can fix it to be better. Love your vids!
My sister got us a silicone splatter guard years ago. I tried to use it for a big batch of something in the stand mixer, but the rotating whisk hit it . It was really only used to kind of keep it protected from the cat
For cutting just learn the finger curl in technique, it's one of the easiest knife skills to learn (saying from experience, I'm a beginner at best) and works pretty well since the knife is resting against your knuckles which are in front of your fingertips making it almost impossible to hit your fingers with the sharp end. Or if you're really concerned about it I would guess one of those cut resistant gloves would be a better bet.
They use to sell a glove that protects your fingers whilst cutting plus also a chain mail version to that butchers use. The glove for protecting your fingers is a better idea, especially if you get the right size that fits snug, I'm sure they are still available to buy. I definitely think the bowl cover is more for use with a stand mixer, which would probably work well when making butter cream etc, and you just use a spatula to remove the areas the whisk beaters could not reach. Great idea if you bake alot but don't want to be standing over the bowl, whilst trying to avoid making a mess. Apple peeler fun for kids or if you are cooking with alot of apples, wonder if it will work on potatoes as well now that would be helpful. Great video 🙂👍🍀
The mixer splatter guard is easily achieved using a paper plate. Been doing this for decades. Clean your whisk off with your fingers. The apple peeler is the only one I’d consider.
If you find suction cups not working, rub the bottom with water. That helps force the air out. Also the point of the finger guards is that the when chopping, the knife is supposed to rest against your fingers when chopping.
We use the finger guards or something similar to strum our autoharps. They protect our fingers well. The mixer bowl cover: I think it would work much better with a stand mixer, like a Kitchenaid.
You could try wetting the suction cups on the apple peeler. I find I can't get them to grip without moisture. You might also try a spray of cooking oil on the whisk - would at least make it easier to get the whisk wiper on.
I know you are testing the whisk wiper to see the amount of food that remains on the whisk but just to let you know, you did not whisk once. You stirred with a whisk. My guess is - barring the use of an egg-in-shell mixer, you eat many stirred eggs that have white and yellow parts.
The Apple Peeler: It sure looks like it works well. Too bad it doesn't do more than peel. I already have several apple peeler/slicers that were handed down to me from family elders and couldn't really see myself having that peeler as well. The basic concept has been around for so long and there are very well made versions that can last a lifetime out there.
For that mixer splash guard I believe that is for a countertop stand mixer like the kind you make bread, One that comes with a dough hook and such, rather than the handheld one that you use in the video.
*the whisk wiper? SO ridiculous. it was in my stocking. it's already in the trash... the tines bent easily & the cleaning of the gadget was much more difficult when doing something like whipping large amounts of cream or frosting... you went a little easy on it with tiny amounts. trust me.. a couple taps on the side of the bowl works just as well. no stupid gadget needed. the anti-splatter guard cover is best intended for stand mixers... i have another brand which is identical and I LOVE IT! that thing works... when used as intended! I am impressed with that apple peeler... wonder how it would hold up over time... would be great for potatoes & other fruits/vegs too... i'd buy that. anyway another good review for some weird products.*
Wisk wiper is a cool idea, but I saw a spatula with one half of the spatula having slots cut for it to work the same way but not having to do the entire wisk at once. I feel like that would be easier to handle, less messy and more functional since you could also use it as a regular spatula at the same time.
I love to check your videos before I buy. Thank you. A couple observations. Those finger guards look adjustable. Try spreading them a little to fit your fingers. If you manage to cut your pinky, you don't need guards, you need to stop cutting things! Lastly, I use a silicone spatula to clean my whisk and it works much better. I don't bend my whisk, either. LOL
Give up what’s left on the whisk?! I’m sorry but the forever child in me is screaming at that because I will always lick the whisk 😂 😂 the only time mine is used is for baking & my favorite part remains eating raw batter more then eating the finished product
LOL, the whole time he struggled with the splatter guard, I was going, “uhhhhh, that’s clearly for a stand mixer….”
I would've like to see comparing the whisk wiper to just the normal "bang the whisk on the side of the bowl" method with your whiskees.
Whiskees?
I wouldn't use that thing. I'd forget to grab it before I start anyway and also when I'm done using my whisk I just swizzle it around in dish water anyway. Comes clean every time. 👍
I was thinking the same thing
But the best thing of wisking frosting, is licking the wisk!!
I use my rubber spatula to squeegee the whisk, and scrape the bowl. I don’t see a need for the “whisk wiper”, but I feel like having some frosting…
Chef cut gloves make so much more sense than those finger guards. Nice reviews of all the products. I did wonder how the mixer bowl guard would've vorked on a stand mixer, probably perform badly there too. That apple peeler worked well. I wonder if you wet the counter if the suction cups would've stuck , sometimes that works on surfaces the suction cups won't initially stick to.
Does the apple peeler work for potatoes and other stuff? If you tried can you let us know thanks James for all the great reviews you do.
Yeah, I'd love an item that can effectively peel an orange.
Reviews said it didn't work well for potatoes. I personally have the basic Rotato Express (about $20-25) which works great for potatoes, apples, and several things. He had it in his best of 2019 video I think.

Anytime the apple peeler came out, apple pie or apple crisp soon followed.
My 94 year old grandmother still has an old cast iron one that we use, it's a tried and true design. It's great that they vice onto a table.
The finger covers, useless in a busy kitchen. I could have cut a bunch of celery, onions etc whilst you put the covers on
Wash frosting down the drain said no one ever. Lol, that's the cooks treat. That apple peeler was great.
The anti splatter guard may be for a stand mixer. It looks cumbersome with a normal hand mixer.
Good point!
Makes sense
Yes. It is. And it's meant for liquidy type mixes. People also used it just as a lid and an oil splatter guard.
While I've had splatter using hand mixers, I've never experienced splatter with a stand mixer.

It doesn't look better than the splatter guard that came with my stand mixer, which includes a slot to put more ingredients in the bowl.
Doubt it would work. My KitchenAid mixer has planetary gears and the head moves around. The spare guard would be forced into the body of the mixer
Right! Maybe he didn't have one to test on?
Amazing video as always.
I think the groves of the whisk wiper go towards the handle so it's a little easier to aline and clean after.

I Just do as my grandmother used to do, either use your fingers or tap it on the edge of the bowl until you get enough off. And then give it to the kids to clean it
Now, if they made an orange peeler like the apple one, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
Hey James! Thanks for another great review. Thank you for helping us avoid scam’s.
When I use my whisk with sticky stuff, I just use a spoon or knife to get the excess off. Banging it will splatter contents making a mess. Moisten the suction cups and they will stick better.
My whisk cleaner happens to be free (I call it my tongue)
I love my apple-peeler-corer-slicer. Works as fast as your peeler but does all the prep, not just one step.
Looks like someone repurposed banjo picks to reduce risk of cutting fingers. The bands are adjustable which is why they are split. You just need to pry them apart to get over your manly knuckles.
The big problem with those finger guards is that it only exists to reinforce bad / dangerous technique. The way you're meant to cut things has you placing your fingertips behind your middle digits which means you're never at risk of cutting your fingertips to begin with.
Except the guards stop that worry...
The Whisk Wiper seems like a good idea. But giving the whisk a wee whack on the side of a bowl seems easier.
Could you put the handle in first for the whisk wiper? If so feed the handle through after you use the whisk only if needed
Always a good day when freakin reviews uploads!!
Isn't the mixing bowl protector meant for a stand mixer? at stand mixer uses a deeper bowl and the whisks don't move around, they stay in place. :P
"...like Pluto, demoted to a non-finger..." ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂
That apple peeler shows what was old is new again. We had a similar one when I was a kid in the early 1960's. That one worked just as well. I have to say watching you use it brought back memories.
The finger guards look like guitar finger picks, I’m pretty sure they got the inspiration from there
Just what I need. More gadgets that never get used and clog up my kitchen drawers.
The splatter guard perfect test review - kitchenaid stand mixer, whisk attachment, and a carton of heaving whipping cream. If you can make butter without making a mess, then it’s an amazing product. Might also try it with a sunbeam stand mixer that spins the bowl rather than the beater, to see how well it stays in place.
Your comments during your review of the finger guards is really funny, “They're so interesting!” It's why I imagine some women get the longer nails.
The grooves on the splatter cover make it possible to move the mixer around the bowl. You don't need to stay in the middle all the time 😉
Those finger tip gadgets remind my of picks for playing guitar or something 😂. Great video as always good sir 🤙
That mixer guard is useful for stand mixers btw idk how annoying it'd be for a hand mixer lmao.
I love the idea of the whisk wiper. I rarely use whisks because of the trouble of getting the stuff off it.
Love your reviews James. When u bent your whisk, that was scarey.
Take care sir, stay safe n well.
Great video! I'm curious tho, what is that vegetable (?) You are cutting at 14:44? Looks like some sort of giant spring onion or something, but I've never seen one so big...
Looks like a leek
@@Toadstewl oh, could be. I've never prepared a leek, so you could very well be right. Thanks! 👍
I was gifted the whisk wiper and whisk set from Pampered Chef a few years ago for my birthday or something. Anyway, I don't use the wiper much, but it does work very well with the whisks from the set.
The Whisk Wiper is the best gift, really. I asked for and got the one for Kitchen Aid Mixer Whisks and boy does it work. I use the paddle attachment most often but when I am mixing egg whites, making pudding, etc. I use my whisk and so much stays on the whisk. This cleans 99% of it off!
Amazon reviews were hit and miss which really confuses me. This thing works and I highly recommend it.
FYI, It's not difficult to clean. Put your water on high, switch to the sprayer and the stream will clean out all the crevices. Easy peasy every time.
Finger guards: Just get some banjo picks if you really think you need something like that.
For a second, your thumbnail made me think you went goth, with those finger guards on! Lol
Maybe the guy who invented the finger guards had already accidentally cut his pinkie finger off?
When making very thin slices, the finger tip is normally folded under and the side of the knife is braced against the first row of knuckles, giving very fine control by slightly moving the entire hand after each cut. Wonder how those guards would work for doing that.
Hi, James!! I can't believe I'm so early! I always come to you for reviews on products I am considering and your videos help so much!!
Heh yeah you are pretty early! Thank you for stopping by!!
I think it would be awesome if after each review of a gadget that doesn't work well you give some ideas of how they can fix it to be better. Love your vids!
Love your honest presentations 🙏🏽🤩
My sister got us a silicone splatter guard years ago. I tried to use it for a big batch of something in the stand mixer, but the rotating whisk hit it . It was really only used to kind of keep it protected from the cat
Mediocre Knife Skills was the name of my garage band. 😁
For cutting just learn the finger curl in technique, it's one of the easiest knife skills to learn (saying from experience, I'm a beginner at best) and works pretty well since the knife is resting against your knuckles which are in front of your fingertips making it almost impossible to hit your fingers with the sharp end. Or if you're really concerned about it I would guess one of those cut resistant gloves would be a better bet.
something like that splatter guard would work perfectly on my kitchen aide stand mixer.
I like your modular kitchen renovation
“Wash it down the drain”? No, no, sir, in this house we LICK baking spoons and utensils!!!!! >_>
Excess frosting gets licked, not thrown down the drain.
I feel we would be great friends, Gail. I love the way you think.
Whoooaaaa, easy with the taking shots at Pluto man.
Haha
Thank you for sharing this with me 😊
They use to sell a glove that protects your fingers whilst cutting plus also a chain mail version to that butchers use. The glove for protecting your fingers is a better idea, especially if you get the right size that fits snug, I'm sure they are still available to buy. I definitely think the bowl cover is more for use with a stand mixer, which would probably work well when making butter cream etc, and you just use a spatula to remove the areas the whisk beaters could not reach. Great idea if you bake alot but don't want to be standing over the bowl, whilst trying to avoid making a mess. Apple peeler fun for kids or if you are cooking with alot of apples, wonder if it will work on potatoes as well now that would be helpful. Great video 🙂👍🍀
although the finger guards are a good idea, i think it could be improved. they have a good idea there
The mixer splatter guard is easily achieved using a paper plate. Been doing this for decades.
Clean your whisk off with your fingers.
The apple peeler is the only one I’d consider.
I wonder if the anti splatter guard would work for a stand mixer? Or maybe it is too big even for that.
"That's not the magic we're looking for."
If you find suction cups not working, rub the bottom with water. That helps force the air out. Also the point of the finger guards is that the when chopping, the knife is supposed to rest against your fingers when chopping.
That apple peeler was great! I like to make apple cinnamon oatmeal but it takes quite a long time between peeling and chopping.
We use the finger guards or something similar to strum our autoharps. They protect our fingers well. The mixer bowl cover: I think it would work much better with a stand mixer, like a Kitchenaid.
I was going to say the exact same thing about the finger guards. Just turn the guards around and they'd look a lot like what I use for my autoharp.
1. Apply Whisk Wiper over handle.
2. Turn Anti-Splatter Cover upside down so you aren't limited with the ridges on it while you move your mixer.
Love his reviews.
You could try wetting the suction cups on the apple peeler. I find I can't get them to grip without moisture. You might also try a spray of cooking oil on the whisk - would at least make it easier to get the whisk wiper on.
I know you are testing the whisk wiper to see the amount of food that remains on the whisk but just to let you know, you did not whisk once. You stirred with a whisk. My guess is - barring the use of an egg-in-shell mixer, you eat many stirred eggs that have white and yellow parts.
The Apple Peeler: It sure looks like it works well. Too bad it doesn't do more than peel. I already have several apple peeler/slicers that were handed down to me from family elders and couldn't really see myself having that peeler as well. The basic concept has been around for so long and there are very well made versions that can last a lifetime out there.
For that mixer splash guard I believe that is for a countertop stand mixer like the kind you make bread, One that comes with a dough hook and such, rather than the handheld one that you use in the video.
I'd like to see the finger guards cutting Cilantro or parsley maybe. Thanks for all you do.
Great video! Please review some knife sharpeners. Watching you use that dull knife while testing the finger guard was a bit scary.
Agreed. He was having to apply way too much pressure to get through those veggies.
*the whisk wiper? SO ridiculous. it was in my stocking. it's already in the trash... the tines bent easily & the cleaning of the gadget was much more difficult when doing something like whipping large amounts of cream or frosting... you went a little easy on it with tiny amounts. trust me.. a couple taps on the side of the bowl works just as well. no stupid gadget needed. the anti-splatter guard cover is best intended for stand mixers... i have another brand which is identical and I LOVE IT! that thing works... when used as intended! I am impressed with that apple peeler... wonder how it would hold up over time... would be great for potatoes & other fruits/vegs too... i'd buy that. anyway another good review for some weird products.*
Don’t have room for any of these items. Thank you. Great review.
Whisk wiper is for all those 3 people who don't lick whisk it after mixing stuff
Is it possible that mixer cover is for a stand mixer? That's what I thought as soon as I saw it.
I'm going to start wearing those finger guards as a fashion accessory.
Wisk wiper is a cool idea, but I saw a spatula with one half of the spatula having slots cut for it to work the same way but not having to do the entire wisk at once. I feel like that would be easier to handle, less messy and more functional since you could also use it as a regular spatula at the same time.
Thank you for another great video. Honestly, I would never buy any of that crap, but I find you and your videos entertaining. Keep up the good work.
I love to check your videos before I buy. Thank you. A couple observations. Those finger guards look adjustable. Try spreading them a little to fit your fingers. If you manage to cut your pinky, you don't need guards, you need to stop cutting things! Lastly, I use a silicone spatula to clean my whisk and it works much better. I don't bend my whisk, either. LOL
Thanks, James, you always show me something that I didn't realize will make my life better! 💜
Give up what’s left on the whisk?! I’m sorry but the forever child in me is screaming at that because I will always lick the whisk 😂 😂 the only time mine is used is for baking & my favorite part remains eating raw batter more then eating the finished product
