The cake cutter looks like a really good one handed solution for someone who would have difficulty cutting/lifting/steadying a slice due to impairment.
That fry cutter is actually the same style most restaurant/fry trucks use. That model was probably designed for home use and has been dulled due to lots of use/time, it's also typically put vertically on a wall so you pull it down like a lever rather than back so gravity can assist then the potatoes fall into a bucket underneath. Just a fun fact lol!
That's interesting! I've only ever seen one before (in a Masterchef video) and it looked much larger, I didn't realize they were usually mounted on a wall. Hope to get one for myself!
I was going to say the same thing. That is identical to the vegetable "chopper" I used as a teenager while working at Little Caesar's Pizza. We used them to chop onions (and green peppers, if I remember correctly, though I've forgotten how we accomplished this after de-coring them). That one was wall-mounted, but otherwise identical. Fun to see it here. :-)
I immediately recognized it as a smaller version of what they us at In'Out, and wondered if they would figure out it was meant to be vertical. Damn now I want In'n'Out.
That's a good way to show the person isn't laughing at the other one. Plenty of kids in my schools used that method too to make it clear that they weren't laughing at the others.
My mum has MS and arthritis and finds that orange peeler brilliant, some things may seem silly but they help those who suffer from disabilities and older age 😊
Exactly. There are people like me who have shaky, arthritic hands (and I'm only 24!) and it's not safe for us to handle sharp objects. Tools like that can be really helpful for us.
I have one and I like it because I don’t get orange peel stuck under my nails. I use the curved part to help pull the peel off after slicing vertically (parallel to the segments). You bring up such a good point. Some of the gadgets aren’t easier than the conventional way for most users, but they allow other people to do something they would otherwise need help with, or it enables them to do the job safer, easier, or faster.
I've said this before, but Ann and Dave are relationship goals. I love their dynamic. My hubby and I tend to talk to each other in a similar manner, but I don't think he would be as keen on trying any cooking experiments I do. Mainly because I can't cook to save my life.

I like it just because I hate getting orange peel under my fingernails. Though there is a similar gadget with a slicer at the end and a stick for prying under the peel that works even better.
As a habitual nail biter, this is a godsend, I have one that looks like a crochet hook with a flat the other end. You run it round to create sections to peel off

While the orange one may seem useless to us, I think it’s important to keep in mind that a large target audience for gadgets like these is the elderly and people with disabilities. There are people who may struggle to peel oranges due to weakness or limited mobility in their hands, and something like the orange ring could be a good fix to that.

my irish grandma always used to say "when you dine with the devil, you need a long spoon"... i'm sure Long Fork is also on the list of Utensils You Should Bring To The Devil's Potluck
That reminded me of an allegory I heard many times in scout camps. For some reason neither heaven nor hell had short spoons, and the people in hell starved because they kept spilling the soup on themselves, but the people in heaven were smart and fed each other. I always thought that was a silly allegory, you could just hold the spoon closer to the bowl part. It would be more stable that way too.

@@angelaboheme7361 The one my grandmother had she told me she purchased it in the 50's and to make it easier to cut the potatoes per package instructions, to parboil the potatoes! I was born in the 60's and never saw the packaging but I lived with my grandparents for almost 6 years and would help my grandmother in the kitchen every opportunity I could! I have no reason to not believe what she told me back then!
I had those orange slicers when I was a kid. There’s actually a trick to them. I thought they were brilliant. Even though I found out I was allergic to citrus.
I'm allergic to just the white parts. I don't consider a whole orange to be food and but I like orange juice. Unfortunately, if I get the wrong orange juice, I'm doubled over in pain for hours.
We had one of these at home, too, but is was more like a pen, not like a ring to put on your finger. I think it's great if you have small children and want to teach them how to peel an orange without having to hand them an actual knife. On the tip there is a shape like a triangle that points down. It's just sharp enough to peel the orange, so you're not likely to get hurt using it.
Also the purpose is not to lift up the bowl. Of course they create a seal, otherwise you couldn't lift them an inch. Ann goes, well maybe that's because you're pressing down on it. Yes dear, you press down on it then you stop, and the seal remains airtight. If you lift it up that's the opposite of pressing down on it.
I got a variety pack from Amazon and I like the little one! I got a pack of small ones from IKEA and they smell horribly of plastic😭 don’t recommend those
The orange peeler isn't necessarily meant to let you peel an orange more quickly, but to let you do it more easily; they're two different things. I've always had a problem with biting my nails, and therefore find it very difficult to peel oranges completely by hand, such as if I take one to work with me. This peeler would come in very hand then, since I can't carry a knife around with me for peeling oranges. Same applies for children who obviously shouldn't be given sharp knives as a general rule, and also maybe people who have disabilities that affect things like motor control, making the peeler a much safer and hassle-free option, even if it might take a little bit longer. It's usually a matter of perspective when you're looking at whether something is useful or not; what seems unnecessary or like a hindrance to you may actually be incredibly helpful to someone else.
That's a good point. I remember in another gadget testing video by another channel, the gadget engineer did every test a second time with oil on his hands to simulate someone who had poor grip control and for that scenario I think the peeler would have worked because even someone who is very old or very young could use it safely.
@@EthanMeatan Simplynailogical is NOT a kids channel, why does everyone like her? she's just a b***y lady who wants to be funny and make videos, she doesn't have a kids channel.
Those egg dividers have been around for absolutely ages, we had one when I was a kid, 35 or so years ago. And they work really well, too, if you *don't tilt them to one side and shake the yolk out of them*, Dave!
@@annabelsummer2643 they do wonders for me, especially in the winter. The best way is to move the orange and have the peel help be still as well as use the peel to make a angled cut in the beginning to easier get the peel off
Tupperware also has a really simple plastic citrus tool, it’s usually given away as a prize for one of the silly games you play at parties but I’ve seen them for sale. You start at the little stem hole and zip it around so you quarter the skin and the other end has a flat edge to help lift and start the skin peeling free.
I have a connective tissue disorder (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) that leads to osteoarthritis and that orange peeler dislocates my finger at the knuckle. I’m glad it works for some folks though. I think the disability community is probably the primary audience of these kitchen gadgets in the first place.
The orange peeler is from my childhood! Kids have a hard time peeling oranges and using a knife is dangerous or cuts through to the fruit so the gadget actually works well for those purposes..
I love the circle cuter one. As someone who has difficulties with my hands (stiff joints and whatnot) I find it painful to use a lot of force and something like that would make it so easy. I can imagine it's even more useful for the elderly and disabled and super fun for little kids. I watch a lot of sorted gadget videos and they are often like nahh it's not great, but forget to think about less able bodied people. Thank you for keeping an open mind about these. Also this format is super cute and fun!
@@aroseprince yeah, a good few infomercial-type products tend to be designed w/ disabled people in mind, but use clumsy abled people to advertise it. this sorta... de-stigmatizes it a bit, and means some abled people will likely be buying it since it's not presented as Solely For Disabled People, which means the company can make more of those products. -i also want to bring up the curb-cutter effect, but i'm too tired to find a way to fit it in. it's relevant, though, i swear!-
Where I live, the extendable fork was super common everywhere and advertised for use at the camp fire. I remember using one to roast marshmallows by the fire.
My dad has one of those for camping, and it makes sense that way. I have seen advertisement for extending utensiles described as pranking friends and stealing food though.
My grandpa has had one for years and he has no clue where it came from, but every time I eat at his house I eat with it cause I can reach things on the other side of the table when serving my food haha
I feel so called out 😂 my family uses a more rustic version of the extender fork for roasting marshmallows (but it has a rubber grip to prevent burns), I have the strawberry slicer because it’s less likely my students will cut themselves on it, I have silicone bowl covers (but they don’t have the stupid handle on them and have a lip to hold it more securely), I also have several of those orange peelers at my school to help my younger students peel their oranges quickly 😂 I find them all super useful too.
some of these items wouldn't be amazingly useful or life altering for grown ups or abled folks but I imagine something like that orange peeler would be endlessly helpful for someone without the motor skills or strength to be able to break through an orange skin on their own. Honestly that's why a lot of the "useless" gadgets you see around exist!
Australians drop the end of some words especially er endings so you get ‘clevah’ and ‘nevah’. The er is replaced by an ah sound. Don’t know if it makes us unique or lazy lol.
Ive had one for yrs. It must be silicone. Definitely works great in the microwave, especially for steaming frozen veggies, covering pans, & then storing the food afterwards without finding/fussing with a lid! I think Charles Viancin is the brand I have & it’s pretty- looks like a flower. The center has a heavier silicone molded shape which ensures the lid is weighted down appropriately 👍🏻
Me neither. It looked like there were some tiny spots open, that's why I thought it can't be sealed. Also another thing to consider though, silicon seems to change over a short time so I wonder for how long it'd do its job well.
@@bipedalbob He did say they picked it up at a garage sale. So, I'd bet it's just worn out a bunch. Though the ones I've used generally are designed to be pulled down with the slider.
I agree, it's been well used, lol. I used a very similar one as a child some 50 years ago.... worked great. A family of 9 can eat a load of spuds at a meal.
The orange cutter ring is intended for use by children who may not have the strength or dexterity to open oranges. It actually really works really well here in Japan on Japanese mikans. I use one when peeling oranges to make marmalade because I keep my nails short and it's easier and fast than fingers for me, as well as less risk of accidentally stabbing an orange.
Georgiana Harris I reckon it would be good for those of us with dermatitis on our hands, too. Orange peel oil rubbed into raw skin isn't very funny at all.
I used to Hull my strawberries by pushing a simple straw up the inside, through the middle so as it emerged out of the top, It took all the stalk and leaves cleanly, plus any creepy crawlies that might have hung on for grim death as I washed them; I can't do it anymore because Multiple Sclerosis has robbed me of the use of most of my left side, including my hand and it's definitely a 2 handed skill I swear it really does wh work, though.and, you don't lose almost the whole top half of your strawberry like you do when you lop the whole top off with a knife; plus, it's quite impressive to do in front of other people, 'cos you wind up with cylinder of strawberry and a verticle tunnel through your fruit!
I love this show, some of the "never" gadgets although, are still incredibly useful to people who dont have much physical ability. Disabled people, the elderly, and kids can use these things every day when doing things they cant accomplish with a knife or just the deftness of their hands.
Yes! Stuff that might seem useless to some people can be a vital help for others. Doesn't mean all gadgets are great, but a lot of them have a certain use and the companies are just trying to make more money selling it to the general population.
yeah, this. there's certainly a crappy kitchen gadgets market, but a lot of these are just very cheaply-made assistive devices where the problem is the execution, not the concept.
That's usually the case with most gadgets, same for straws or this rolling broomstick with attached waste holder (?) I could send a link from that Judging Channel as it was uploaded two years ago.
Ive had one of those floppy lid for yrs. It must be silicone to hold up to heat and be the most utilitarian. Definitely works great in the microwave, especially for steaming frozen veggies, covering pans, & then storing the food afterwards without finding/fussing with a lid! I think Charles Viancin is the brand I have & it’s pretty- looks like a flower. The center has a heavier silicone molded shape which ensures the lid is weighted down appropriately 👍🏻
We do have a better version of that french fry maker at home. It's more refined and doesn't get stuck as easily, it also fits bigger potatoes. It's a good gadget and definitely makes making fries easier
oh wow, I have never discovered a video that early. I am stunned by the circle cutter, didn't expect it to work this well at all! Downside: takes up much more space than a classic metal cutter. But if you do a lot of baking where you need circles and don't care about them not being perfectly round.. I say CLEVAH!
It's also fun to mix different colors of dough in (either in layers or just chunks) to get tie dye rainbow cookies. In my experience they've always come out gorgeous like that!
Seeing their relationship with one another just makes me have this slight smile throughout the entire video, just enjoying how they're great friends and loving toward each other while still not making anything hyped or fake. Lovely to see.
The last gadget was definitely something my mom used in baking. "Spritz cookies" are a holiday staple in our family and she uses that to make them look like flowers or snowflakes, with little bit of sprinkles for some color. Love those cookies, you just pop them in your mouth. I always wanted to try out the different shapes for different holidays but eh, time gets away.
Same! My moms staple christmas cookies are spritz cookies. She tried a different recipe once and we HATED them... So I took them into work and left them in the break room. Luckily, other people loved them.
We always made these green almond-flavored Christmas tree cookies when I was little. When we got older and my sister and I took over the holiday baking, we also used the cookie press to make these s-shaped butter cookies. Not very sweet but buttery and flaky and I want some now and I don't have a cookie press at my house.
I have one of those cookie guns (actually watched this to see if she 'approved', lol, love Anne!) but mine also came with piping nozzles for icing! I've found it works really well, it's a cool 'gadget'!
I bought a plastic one once, but never understood to keep it to the baking tray, I kept it hovering above. And naturally the dough didn't come off the gadget. Now I'm sad I got rid of it.
The egg separater is actually ages old. There's metal ones from the beginning of the last century that people are still using The plastic ones are never as good for anything
We used to use a cookie press like that when I was little! I unironically love the one that looked like a mollusc. Now I want to make trilobite cookies
I love watching you guys together. You kind of remind me of my mum and dad. My mum will try to be serious then my dad will say something random and my mum buckles every time. It’s so sweet 🥰 they’ve been married for 28 years, but together for 36. They’re adorable 🥰
I’ve seen this video before so maybe I’ve already mentioned; the expanding fork is something I’ve used as a teacher of students with physical disabilities and limited range of motion to help feed themselves when they can’t raise their arms enough to use typical flatware.
These two make an adorable couple! The goofiness and love is so clearly visible and it's so pure. Even if Dave must occasionally suffer for Ann's experiments
The gadget for peeling the orange actually looks really useful as an adaptive technology to me. My thumbs have some issues and so that gadget looks like it would solve some of my peeling issues!
lol!. I still say the original, British version is better Much as I like Steve Carrell, It was quite clearly written by Ricky Gervais for him to play and nobody was going to be able to play that character like him...
my family has an orange peeler like that, it's made to look like a snail. i find it really helpful personally, as i struggle peeling fruit with just my fingers because of the feeling on my skin. it also makes me really happy when i can take the peel off in two pieces instead of a thousand. :)) i think this gadget is rather for people who just can't peel oranges well, rather than people who only wanna be faster. also we have a fork like that and i always thought its a fun gadget rather than something that's supposed to be actually helpful lol
The extender fork would be great for marshmallow roasting!

@@angelaboheme7361 The one my grandmother had she told me she purchased it in the 50's and to make it easier to cut the potatoes per package instructions, to parboil the potatoes! I was born in the 60's and never saw the packaging but I lived with my grandparents for almost 6 years and would help my grandmother in the kitchen every opportunity I could! I have no reason to not believe what she told me back then!

Dave: "And then you magically... *struggles immeasurably*"
I had those orange slicers when I was a kid. There’s actually a trick to them. I thought they were brilliant. Even though I found out I was allergic to citrus.
F
Me tooo, Mine isn't strong enough for me to care though.
What is the trick?
I'm allergic to just the white parts. I don't consider a whole orange to be food and but I like orange juice. Unfortunately, if I get the wrong orange juice, I'm doubled over in pain for hours.
We had one of these at home, too, but is was more like a pen, not like a ring to put on your finger. I think it's great if you have small children and want to teach them how to peel an orange without having to hand them an actual knife. On the tip there is a shape like a triangle that points down. It's just sharp enough to peel the orange, so you're not likely to get hurt using it.
My mum absolutely swears by those silicone bowl covers. They're well worth getting. Plus they're better for the environment than glad wrap
Also the purpose is not to lift up the bowl. Of course they create a seal, otherwise you couldn't lift them an inch. Ann goes, well maybe that's because you're pressing down on it. Yes dear, you press down on it then you stop, and the seal remains airtight. If you lift it up that's the opposite of pressing down on it.
Glad to know!!
I got a variety pack from Amazon and I like the little one! I got a pack of small ones from IKEA and they smell horribly of plastic😭 don’t recommend those
The orange peeler isn't necessarily meant to let you peel an orange more quickly, but to let you do it more easily; they're two different things.
I've always had a problem with biting my nails, and therefore find it very difficult to peel oranges completely by hand, such as if I take one to work with me. This peeler would come in very hand then, since I can't carry a knife around with me for peeling oranges.
Same applies for children who obviously shouldn't be given sharp knives as a general rule, and also maybe people who have disabilities that affect things like motor control, making the peeler a much safer and hassle-free option, even if it might take a little bit longer.
It's usually a matter of perspective when you're looking at whether something is useful or not; what seems unnecessary or like a hindrance to you may actually be incredibly helpful to someone else.
Try using a spoon. It can tear the peel a little and then works really well for separating the peel from the flesh.
Just cut the orange on both sides with a knife and it'll all peel off in one piece
As a life-long nail biter I was thinking the same thing, lmao
Now to move to Florida to get maximum use from it! 😂
I totally agree!
That's a good point. I remember in another gadget testing video by another channel, the gadget engineer did every test a second time with oil on his hands to simulate someone who had poor grip control and for that scenario I think the peeler would have worked because even someone who is very old or very young could use it safely.
‘It’s like a Troon Troom’s video. Wanna steal your friend’s strawberry!’ 😂 They are like Christine and Ben!
Yesss!!
idk christine and ben but LOL Dave's right about the troom torom thing

Those egg dividers have been around for absolutely ages, we had one when I was a kid, 35 or so years ago. And they work really well, too, if you *don't tilt them to one side and shake the yolk out of them*, Dave!
My family too. I have one in my kitchen gadget drawer right now
Actually Ann tilted it herself and it was well on its way out by the time she gave the separator to Dave
I have always used one, never tilted it to the side though lol cuz you know, gravity
We have one that is actually the top to a small bowl. So you don’t have to try to hold it and crack the egg at the same time. Definitely clever
Are you Scandinavian?
The orange thing is a great help for me, I have rheumathism, especially in my hands and sometimes I can't peel oranges. Then it really helps
I am in early stages due to a different medical condition I have so that is good to know! I might buy one when it get worse as I love oranges.
@@annabelsummer2643 they do wonders for me, especially in the winter.
The best way is to move the orange and have the peel help be still as well as use the peel to make a angled cut in the beginning to easier get the peel off
Tupperware also has a really simple plastic citrus tool, it’s usually given away as a prize for one of the silly games you play at parties but I’ve seen them for sale. You start at the little stem hole and zip it around so you quarter the skin and the other end has a flat edge to help lift and start the skin peeling free.
I have a connective tissue disorder (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) that leads to osteoarthritis and that orange peeler dislocates my finger at the knuckle. I’m glad it works for some folks though. I think the disability community is probably the primary audience of these kitchen gadgets in the first place.
@@AlinneaDarklordsSis My extra sister has that too, I will refrain from giving her one then. Is there a gadget that helps you more?
Ann: so I just casually prepared some cakes.
brings out triple layer sponge cake
God I love this
1:08
I love how Ann laughs evilly while Dave struggles with the potatoes ahahahahaahah
I mean that was clear not to work easily. So probably that's why. If the blades were put on the top though, that might actually work better.
The orange peeler is from my childhood! Kids have a hard time peeling oranges and using a knife is dangerous or cuts through to the fruit so the gadget actually works well for those purposes..
When one of my friends was very young, he cut himself to the bone peeling an orange with a Victorinox knife. So yes, it is dangerous.
Yeah my Mom always put one in my lunchbox for school
I love the circle cuter one. As someone who has difficulties with my hands (stiff joints and whatnot) I find it painful to use a lot of force and something like that would make it so easy. I can imagine it's even more useful for the elderly and disabled and super fun for little kids. I watch a lot of sorted gadget videos and they are often like nahh it's not great, but forget to think about less able bodied people. Thank you for keeping an open mind about these. Also this format is super cute and fun!
ua-cam.com/video/MRN38gkXw3U/v-deo.html
I think a lot of seemingly silly "seen on TV type gadgets" are actually Lifesavers for people with mobility issues
@@aroseprince yeah, a good few infomercial-type products tend to be designed w/ disabled people in mind, but use clumsy abled people to advertise it. this sorta... de-stigmatizes it a bit, and means some abled people will likely be buying it since it's not presented as Solely For Disabled People, which means the company can make more of those products.
-i also want to bring up the curb-cutter effect, but i'm too tired to find a way to fit it in. it's relevant, though, i swear!-

@@lizzieophelia I see you, I see you
ANN; AS always we haven't pretested these gadgets, so no promises on what's going to happen.
Dave: I'm pretty sure mine will cut a circle.
Where I live, the extendable fork was super common everywhere and advertised for use at the camp fire. I remember using one to roast marshmallows by the fire.
My dad has one of those for camping, and it makes sense that way. I have seen advertisement for extending utensiles described as pranking friends and stealing food though.
This is what I came here to say. Perhaps they should read instructions so they know what they are for.
My grandpa has had one for years and he has no clue where it came from, but every time I eat at his house I eat with it cause I can reach things on the other side of the table when serving my food haha
I feel so called out 😂 my family uses a more rustic version of the extender fork for roasting marshmallows (but it has a rubber grip to prevent burns), I have the strawberry slicer because it’s less likely my students will cut themselves on it, I have silicone bowl covers (but they don’t have the stupid handle on them and have a lip to hold it more securely), I also have several of those orange peelers at my school to help my younger students peel their oranges quickly 😂 I find them all super useful too.
You a teacher then??
Yes! I have on of them,
I have one do those forks too. I got it as a joke present. Never thought about using it roast marshmallows
some of these items wouldn't be amazingly useful or life altering for grown ups or abled folks but I imagine something like that orange peeler would be endlessly helpful for someone without the motor skills or strength to be able to break through an orange skin on their own. Honestly that's why a lot of the "useless" gadgets you see around exist!
I lovee the way you say ‘Clevah!’ And ´Nevah!’ Australian accents are incredible never ever change 😂
haha, we don't even think we have accents 🤣
*clevah*
I think you mean 'nevah evah' change 😜
@@HowToCookThat talk to an American and chances are they'll compliment your accent 😂😂
Australians drop the end of some words especially er endings so you get ‘clevah’ and ‘nevah’. The er is replaced by an ah sound. Don’t know if it makes us unique or lazy lol.
I totally didn’t expect the air tight strawberry lid to actually work
You can also get smaller ones for drink/mug covers, to keep heat in or bugs out
Ive had one for yrs. It must be silicone. Definitely works great in the microwave, especially for steaming frozen veggies, covering pans, & then storing the food afterwards without finding/fussing with a lid!
I think Charles Viancin is the brand I have & it’s pretty- looks like a flower. The center has a heavier silicone molded shape which ensures the lid is weighted down appropriately 👍🏻
Me neither. It looked like there were some tiny spots open, that's why I thought it can't be sealed. Also another thing to consider though, silicon seems to change over a short time so I wonder for how long it'd do its job well.
My gran used to have a chip maker like “gadget one” when I was a child, and it worked brilliantly! Think yours was a bit worn out though. 😃
Or newer and cheaped out till there to flimsy to work properly
@@bipedalbob He did say they picked it up at a garage sale. So, I'd bet it's just worn out a bunch. Though the ones I've used generally are designed to be pulled down with the slider.
In my childhood we had it, too.
Also with mine it’s easier to cut the tapered end first
I agree, it's been well used, lol. I used a very similar one as a child some 50 years ago.... worked great. A family of 9 can eat a load of spuds at a meal.
The orange cutter ring is intended for use by children who may not have the strength or dexterity to open oranges. It actually really works really well here in Japan on Japanese mikans. I use one when peeling oranges to make marmalade because I keep my nails short and it's easier and fast than fingers for me, as well as less risk of accidentally stabbing an orange.
It also works for those with disabilities
Georgiana Harris I reckon it would be good for those of us with dermatitis on our hands, too. Orange peel oil rubbed into raw skin isn't very funny at all.
Clicked as soon as I saw!

I used to Hull my strawberries by pushing a simple straw up the inside, through the middle so as it emerged out of the top, It took all the stalk and leaves cleanly, plus any creepy crawlies that might have hung on for grim death as I washed them; I can't do it anymore because Multiple Sclerosis has robbed me of the use of most of my left side, including my hand and it's definitely a 2 handed skill I swear it really does wh work, though.and, you don't lose almost the whole top half of your strawberry like you do when you lop the whole top off with a knife; plus, it's quite impressive to do in front of other people, 'cos you wind up with cylinder of strawberry and a verticle tunnel through your fruit!
Great tip I'll try it :)
I noticed you had the cutting grid in backwards on the potato cutter. The serrations where facing outward. :) Might make it a bit easier.
And you can get different sized cutting grids for them, too. Also, Five Guys uses them to cut all of their fries.
I love this show, some of the "never" gadgets although, are still incredibly useful to people who dont have much physical ability. Disabled people, the elderly, and kids can use these things every day when doing things they cant accomplish with a knife or just the deftness of their hands.
Yes! Stuff that might seem useless to some people can be a vital help for others. Doesn't mean all gadgets are great, but a lot of them have a certain use and the companies are just trying to make more money selling it to the general population.
yeah, this. there's certainly a crappy kitchen gadgets market, but a lot of these are just very cheaply-made assistive devices where the problem is the execution, not the concept.
That's usually the case with most gadgets, same for straws or this rolling broomstick with attached waste holder (?) I could send a link from that Judging Channel as it was uploaded two years ago.
Nothing is more satisfying than watching a lovely happy couple nowadays.🙂
exactly
It’s a fresh change really
Ive had one of those floppy lid for yrs. It must be silicone to hold up to heat and be the most utilitarian. Definitely works great in the microwave, especially for steaming frozen veggies, covering pans, & then storing the food afterwards without finding/fussing with a lid!
I think Charles Viancin is the brand I have & it’s pretty- looks like a flower. The center has a heavier silicone molded shape which ensures the lid is weighted down appropriately 👍🏻

Jimmy Hellas It’s stays nicer if it’s peeled right when your gonna eat it
We do have a better version of that french fry maker at home. It's more refined and doesn't get stuck as easily, it also fits bigger potatoes. It's a good gadget and definitely makes making fries easier
I love that Ann always makes these beautiful cakes to test on and puts way more effort than ever needed. You can tell she loves cooking and her craft.
oh wow, I have never discovered a video that early. I am stunned by the circle cutter, didn't expect it to work this well at all! Downside: takes up much more space than a classic metal cutter. But if you do a lot of baking where you need circles and don't care about them not being perfectly round.. I say CLEVAH!
I'm thinking about getting it to cut dumpling skins
@@majorasiaa my first thought as well!
@@pluginmaedchen That is exactly what I use mine for. Roll the dough out in a long strip and it works like a charm.

Ok. I just need to put myself through the sexual orientation changing magic machine and then I'd be good to go look for a lady like her. :D
The potato cutter might be in need of some oiling to work more smoothly.
It also looked just a tad rusty.

We do that at the café, we have one from our grandmother ❤️ My sister goes bananas with the colours
It's also fun to mix different colors of dough in (either in layers or just chunks) to get tie dye rainbow cookies. In my experience they've always come out gorgeous like that!
Seeing their relationship with one another just makes me have this slight smile throughout the entire video, just enjoying how they're great friends and loving toward each other while still not making anything hyped or fake. Lovely to see.
The moment the words “George Forman Grill” were said, I knew someone would bring up that moment from The Office 😆
The last gadget was definitely something my mom used in baking. "Spritz cookies" are a holiday staple in our family and she uses that to make them look like flowers or snowflakes, with little bit of sprinkles for some color. Love those cookies, you just pop them in your mouth. I always wanted to try out the different shapes for different holidays but eh, time gets away.
Same! My moms staple christmas cookies are spritz cookies. She tried a different recipe once and we HATED them... So I took them into work and left them in the break room. Luckily, other people loved them.
We always made these green almond-flavored Christmas tree cookies when I was little. When we got older and my sister and I took over the holiday baking, we also used the cookie press to make these s-shaped butter cookies. Not very sweet but buttery and flaky and I want some now and I don't have a cookie press at my house.
I have one of those cookie guns (actually watched this to see if she 'approved', lol, love Anne!) but mine also came with piping nozzles for icing! I've found it works really well, it's a cool 'gadget'!
We make them for Christmas every year! Ours is ancient lol. They haven’t really changed the design since it works so well
I bought a plastic one once, but never understood to keep it to the baking tray, I kept it hovering above. And naturally the dough didn't come off the gadget. Now I'm sad I got rid of it.
The egg separater is actually ages old. There's metal ones from the beginning of the last century that people are still using
The plastic ones are never as good for anything

For a strawberry cutter you can use a deviled egg cutter.

It's a fondue fork. But I'm sure it could be used as a back scratcher if needed.

The orange peeler would help people with limited hand or finger strength.
Or, just use a paring knife (put the orange on a cutting board. )
@@glam4663 some people cant properly use a knife and orange peelers are better for kids
Or if you're in a situation where you can't or don't want to bring a knife with you. Say in an Airport or Work lunchbag maybe?
Or no fingernails
It’s actually for mandarins and tangerines. They have thinner husks that the peeler can cut through without damaging the inner flesh.

That particular potato cutter is broken. My mother had one when I was young and it worked really, really well.
I think it's just blunt or rusted. I was impressed that it worked at all! Makes me want one lol
my family has an orange peeler like that, it's made to look like a snail.
i find it really helpful personally, as i struggle peeling fruit with just my fingers because of the feeling on my skin. it also makes me really happy when i can take the peel off in two pieces instead of a thousand. :))
i think this gadget is rather for people who just can't peel oranges well, rather than people who only wanna be faster.
also we have a fork like that and i always thought its a fun gadget rather than something that's supposed to be actually helpful lol
