@@JB-xl2jc yeah
The “scrambled “ egg maker is mostly used as a “golden” egg maker. After you spin the egg, hard boil it. When you peel it you will have a uniformly yellow egg.❤️🇨🇦
Yep! Cracking it while raw after scrambling is just pointless...
Ias you said it's so you can have boiled egg eith scrambled insides
yeah but why would i need that in my life
@@jemimi1957 maybe you wouldnt, but some kids don't like the yolk of a boiled egg, and some people just like the presentation of a golden egg.
I'm assuming that scrambled boiled eggs having one consistent texture would be easier to bite into. If your boiled egg is too boiled or too wet, it'll be a bit more messy

Omg 😹 😹 😹
Ok but I do like the idea of a left handed oil test. It belongs in a similar space as rubber-ducking. No its not a sex thing. Basically coders take a rubber ducky or something, and they explain the thing that they're struggling with to the rubber ducky. Usually explaining it helps folks figure out what's wrong. I'm gonna implement the left handed oil test into any designs I do in the future.

"Good job Goldy!"
"Thank you very much"
That moment made me so happy. And I like, don't know why.
I thought he point of the egg scrambler was to keep it IN the shell so you could have a homogeneous boiled egg. Soft boiled pre-scrambled makes a sort of pudding.
it is for a "Golden egg"
Yea its made to make golden eggs
Yes he completely missed that point
But tbh you can just shake the egg a lot.

The German name of the second gadget is “Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher” ... no kidding 😂😂
i'm so glad you brought him back! i love that he always considers usability for disabled people (who do tend to be a lot of the real buyers of these products). i can't wait for more!
AudreyN he and Barry Lewis (formerly known as My virgin Kitchen) are my favorite when it comes to gadgets. Barry doesn’t do the ‘left hand’ test. But he does recognize the disability use for 99% of the gadgets. (The one % is more novelty)
Ya probably a whole .005%
Mitch very true and as a person who is disabled and still can’t fully use my left arm due to pain from a surgery a lot of these are helpful and occasionally necessary. I wish I had the fish when I was learning to bake from scratch I screwed up my fair share of times separating eggs
Is Chronic oily left hand a real thing?
Dwight Schrute the left handed oil test isn’t meant to mimic a chronically pilot hand but rather give an idea of how someone who has issues with their hands in regards to dexterity and grip. People with Parkinson’s or arthritis would have issues with using their hands in the way that non disabled people are able to
To the eggstractor: “It’s consistent on how badly it works” 😂
I love how he says “I am the egg man coocookachoo” in a extremely formal and monotone voice
I think they missed the point of the egg scrambler, it's meant to give you a boiled egg which doesn't have a separate yolk and white
“Yuh know in case your kitchen doesn’t have a fork” lol salty
He didnt mean it tho
I mean I don't know how to scramble an egg with a fork without breaking the shell but okay
“This fish is not that great at sucking eggs”
“I am into the fish”

I love how he didn’t realize the egg scrambler is to scramble the egg in the shell so you can hard boil it and have a scrambled hard boiled egg

The in the shell scrambler I could see for making "golden eggs" which is a hard boiled egg, but scrambled in the shell first. The biggest issue I see is that it would be hard to tell if you had spun it enough times before boiling the eggs.
It’s really charming and adorable how he loved the fish so much 😊

Supe I mean, it doesn’t even extract it properly
As someone who has dexterity issues (and am so glad he takes that into consideration!) the fish has an additional problem with how you absolutely can't *squeeze* it (after the initial yolk suck) without breaking the yolk. I have bad tremors that sometimes turn into finger twitches, and I can just imagine how many broken yolks I'd have using goldie (or a water bottle).
i think the water bottle would be much safer for that in that case because it does have more room where the yolk isnt to squeeze it, so it wont break. but in the fish it takes up all the space so you squeeze right where the yolk is
@@peterbag3l yeah that's what I was gonna say too. You could squeeze the bottle closer to to crack with the same effect. And you can use both hands if needed.
Would fins like he wanted to add solve that? That way you could lift it up with a loose hand, with the fish resting on the fingers, instead of holding the belly.
Or would it be easier to just separate it by hand?
I've owned the egg top cracker for a long time now, use it all the time for my soft boiled eggs with no issue at all. The egg tops come off clean every time. I do not rest the egg in the cup, I hold it in my left hand with the right hand pulling the plunger. When I first got it, I had similar issues with them not cutting cleanly, found it was a confidence issue... just have to trust the device and let the spring snap.
I genuinely laughed when he was talking about the eggstractor and said “guess what this is... you’re wrong”
14:38

This guy.. knows how to enjoy life. I love his whole talking to fish vibe.
I've been binge watching a handful of Well Equipped, and something that came to mind was from Mythbusters when Jamie said something along the lines of "Overly complicated designs are the mark of an inferior desginer". Shows like this are great at testing gimmicky products that are meant to attract the witless, and regardless if Dan was using a gadget incorrectly, that just harkens back to overly complicated design saying.
Watching a bunch of these in succession, I love that the years of job experience are actually 100% accurate.
In 2019 he was at 38 years of experience.
In 2020 it is 39
And in 2021 it is 40 years.
Hope he keeps this going until 2030+ :)

*The left handed oil test with the egg scrambler-*
At home I have an egg cracker that's just a metal hat for the egg with a stick going up and a dense metal ball, you just lift the ball and let it drop onto the hat thingy, no springs required. It works really well and is easy to use. Fun fact: I'm from Germany and here it's called Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher, which roughly translates to 'cause of defined egg shell breaking point'
Idk why but recently I have been OBSESSED with these videos. I don't mean I watched 4 videos in one day, I have watched at least 10 of these videos today.

My thoughts on the Redesigns - NO Design expertise =P
1 - Egg Scrambler: I'd get rid of the strings entirely, make it a crank operation with some gears to increase the speed. Keep the same orientation of the egg spin so that it's end over end. have it open in a clam shell motion. Have a heavy delrin bottom with good gripper so you hold on to it while you spin the egg with the crank. Keep most of the design of the egg holder, maybe make it a textured silicone.
2 - Egg top Cracker: Maybe give it a little hammer instead of a spring loaded thing, that way you could hit it as hard as you think is needed. Make the Hammer out of Delrin, it's a nice firm, weighty product that's easily cleaned, which it shouldn't need, and it's light enough that it shouldn't hurt anyone too badly if you hit them with it! Replace the ball with flat spot where your little hammer could hit it. I think the straight edges are nice on the bottom of the cupped bit, maybe give them a slight serration angled inwards?
3 - Egg Shell Remover: Give it a clam shell construction, add two handles that you hold together, that are kind of beefy so that you get a good grip, probably rubber coated with some texturing to give better grip. Give it a rubber gasket, and make it so you spin a ring to seal it. Give this ring a tab so that you can grab it, or just use your thumb, that way it gives it a solid closure that's water tight.
4 - Egg yolk separator: Get rid of the fish shape, make it more ergonomical, a bulb shape with some finger grooves, perhaps some texturing where you're supposed to grab it, other than that, "If it Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It." XD
5 - Eggstractor: Don't.
But I like the fish shape. As he pointed out if you don't care for the cuteness you might as well just use a water bottle
