My grandfather taught me about knives. "Sharp knives are safe knives," he'd say all the time.. They take less effort, so you're less likely to get cut and when you do get cut it's a straighter cut that heals faster. He was an oral surgeon during WWII and had to sharpen his own scalpels. He taught all his kids and grand kids how to correctly sharpen knives.
That is so correct, coming from someone who grew up in the country and learnt to chop wood with an axe and a machete by the age of 10. Sharp tools make the work easier with less effort. I've never cut myself badly with a sharp kitchen knife. As for a machete/axe, correct posture and distance and technique is key.
Same here. I'm female but I was honored by my father when he gave me my first machete at the age of 12 1/2. It had a broken point, but he taught me how to sharpen it, and how to use it. Afterwards, I noticed that he never taught his sons until they were older. Later, he taught my younger son when he and I had to live with him. Again, I noticed he didn't teach my younger brother even though he was of an age with my son. To this day both my sons know the importance of sharp knives. Actually, we all 3 know the importance of good kitchen equipment. ❤️ Truly dislike useless kitchen gadgets.
I just discovered your channel and I AM HOOKED! Your cakes are beautiful absolutely gorgeous, obvi, but your vids are quick, easy to follow, informative and you’re just a joy to the watch !! 🙏🏻
You are the first teacher that made me know how to make cakes. And made me love making cakes It is beautiful that makes me want to have my own cake shop. I must thank the teacher You are the cutest person
I’ve been binging your baking videos a lot today from in the hospital.. sucks when I can’t even eat anything atm.. but they all look so delicious, I can wait til I go home and the baking some of these
OMG!! Preppy, you’re the best!! You explained everything so well!! As a matter of fact, all of your videos are awesome! The best teacher ever....thanks for sharing 👌
I've been slowly acquiring the right tools for awhile now. When you're broke, it takes a bit. I got a cake decorator set with a lot of helpful items as a gift (including bags n piping tips), a medium sized sifter for my dry ingredients, copper cake pan and some other things along the way. When I moved in with my girlfriend she had a few goodies hiding around: like an egg separator! These are actually extremely helpful if you have any kind of mobility issues with your hands, making separating eggs much more accessible. I don't really like uni-taskers either but with as much eggs as I use the tiny amount of space it takes in my drawer is well worth it.
I love to bake but im sad coz i dont have a beautiful kitchen like yours. And i wish i could have all your kitchen tools and your baking needs like oven, mixers and everything. Sorry for me, im just a simple vendor who can't afford to buy all these things. Life is so difficult here in the Phillippines. I am 60 y/o and my dream is to become a pastry chef, but my family could not afford to sent me to a famous school. Oh well, thank you for your teaching method and techniques, your such a good teacher. GOD BLESS...
Wow, buddy boy! I've recently started baking, in large part due to the Coronavirus. My first profession as a very man was as a cook and then sous chef. I quickly found out I possessed a bit of natural talent with regards to ratios and aesthetics in cooking. Fast forward nearly forty years, and I find myself, for the most part, stuck at home and a lot of free time on my hands. Preppy Kitchen has been an invaluable resource! Your approach to imparting information and your overall demeanor is yes, both entertaining and enriching. I really enjoy how you crack yourself when you start getting silly. It's not hard to tell that you have experience as an educator. Obviously, I am subscribed and you are the only food or cooking channel I have the notifications turned on. I understand you have two little ones, and I can tell you that when they get older there is precious little that is more rewarding than teaching one's children to cook! I have three kids and it's a blast! I can't thank you enough. Peace
I am very new for baking and it is a new whole cuisine for me (I am from Thailand). As living in the U.S. For a couple years, i am switching to American cuisine sometimes and i love all baked goods. I love your channel so much. It is so encouraging me to bake more and more and I am glad i found you. :)
This is sooo useful and definitely informative. Your so right what you said about how frustrating when you don’t have the right tools, thankyou so much Preppy kitchen
I love having the proper tool for the job, thank you so much for the video. I am also a big fan of lean manufacturing which is basically doing things the easy way.
I absolutely LOVE how practical and no nonsense you are!!! Not everyone can understand the love of a good zester or whisk. And the straight edge pans!!!! By leaps and bounds, you are definately my favourite Baker.
Thank you so much. Now my debate with myself about 8" vs 9" cake pans is finally solved and I'm going to buy the W-S gold 8" cake pans. All the best. Mark
Thanks for the video. Loved it. Talking about burned cakes. I love yours. They are the way all cakes should be, flat and soft no more time wasted trimming!
“In case the power goes out….” 😂 I imagined J.K. whipping egg whites, and when the power goes out, he briefly looks up, utteres a brief “Hmm,” and then just “wisk, wisk, wisk!” ❤
Back in my cake decorating days, I used to like to tone my green icing with a bit of the pink/red/purple buttercream I was using for the roses. It always looked softer and more natural.
I have to say I just love your videos! I am an avid cook/baker. Long before pandemic days I was the person who baked my own bread and cooked my food from scratch. My family always says how hard it must be, but I have a system and I can put a bread dough together in 10 minutes the rest is rise time. I have a well organized kitchen and I have a small apartment so it's not about big, but using space well. You have excellent advice and recipes that anyone can follow!!! Thanks for your always being a joy to watch
Thanks! I had a bad accident 4 years ago and I can't do much in the kitchen BUT I am still loving your videos. OH BTW, I used to own a catering business so my injury so saddens me. That's OK, I imagine I CAN do what you do!!!
My momma has a rolling pin she's been using since before I was born in 19 hundred and 73. There's so many tools and so little time. Now I have an idea of why I haven't broadened my horizons in the baking department. I don't have any of the things I need to do it. Just so you know when Jeff comes home tonight and I ask for money to go gadget shopping with I'm telling him it's all your fault. This is gonna be great. Thanks preppy😀
Ha! Did you say "stuttering" to describe the crummy plastic cake stand flop? HILARIOUS! I feel the same. Stuttering. Yes. So proud I have everything you have here but the cupcake hole punch. Who HAS that???
I also like burnt cookies. My Mum used to burn a few shortbread ones just for me. I now do the same and my grandchildren love them, we call them "Well fired "
Just found your channel looking for a pastry cream... and now I’m going to remodel the whole kitchen. With a baking station of course !!! Great job!!! Keep posting.
Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge, tips, tricks and recipes! I live in the boonies and getting any treats for celebrations - or for whenever is a PAIN! Now, I feel confident making my own yummy cakes, cookies, etc., plus I get to control the quality of my ingredients! You are a wonderful teacher! THANK YOU!!!
Would’ve loved some links to go along with all this wonderful and helpful information. Maybe in your next one pretty please 😁🙏😇. Also MUST know where you got your copper measuring cups and spoons used in your more recent mid 2020 videos
You are have a wonderful channel and a great personality. Enjoy you active cooking and baking. Your husband must have a gym membership to work off all the meals and deserts. You are the BEST!!!
John you are One of My Favour Baking Guys I love to Watch... Ur Explanations are so Easy to understand n U have Ignited More of A Passion to do with Baking I’m gonna go into Business one day & U Will have had an Imput into a person U have inspired because of Ur own passion Baking Thank U So Much 😊
You have inspired me to make time to do what I love doing and that's baking. I love your demeanor; calm, relaxing, exciting and interesting. Thank you for sharing your talent and skillset with us.
I absolutely love the way you answer to the slightly negative comments! 😂🤣. When I need a go-to recipe, I always turn to your recipes. I know that the cookie, cake, or pie will be yummy. I am still not there in macarons, but I remember what you said about your experience! Thank you for all your tips!
I truly enjoyed your video, I started collecting baking tools and you really helped me to learn how to select the ones I need for certain baking projects, thank you so much and I very much enjoy your witty and wonderful attitude and you're a great instructor as well. 😊🤗🍪🎂🍰🥧
You truly help me. I've always baked and enjoyed it. But I'm just now trying it more. You are such a huge help to me. Thanks so much!! 💕💕💕 Preppy Kitchen is amazing!!
I LOVE THIS GUY🥰🥰🥰🥰 came cross his channel and I am TOTALLY ADDICTED!! I made his Zucchini/carrot muffins (along with the decorations) and my coworkers LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!! I made the upside down pineapple cake (epic fail) in a spring pan (uuughhh 😔😔) Its ok- I'm not a quitter and I ordered fat daddio's baking pans!! WHAT! WHAT!!🥰🥰🥰😁😁😁👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you for sharing your gadget drawer! I was pleasantly surprised to discover we use and appreciate several common tools in our drawers (lol) . Your video on the homemade cake strip (foil wrapped paper towel) was a revelation! Thank you! I had no idea that was how people prevented the "dome" now I use one on everything including banana loafs.. Ok not pound cake. Even my hubbie has observed the improvement.. Ya we're family too! Thanks again John for all your contributions. You've made several corrections to my techniques. Huggs from Canada 🍁
John, my man, partially burnt cookies are the bomb I mean, you can't give them away! They're so ugly! Guess you just have to eat them :P what a shame Love this informational video, I would love it if you made more!
What a great video! Thank you so much for all of the tips. I had actually already purchased some of the things in this video based on your previous comments about them. They truly make a difference for a home baker like me. You’re awesome!
I never knew that a copper whisk would make beating egg whites a little easier. I wanted to make homemade meringue frosting but I gave up because it I had to it manually. I'm a girl who would prefer power gadgets for some things. Thanks for the insight. 😊
Bought a pastry mat on your advice and it's brilliant..I made your cheese and chive biscuits and the dough turned out very sticky without the mat I would have had to add tons of extra flour great tip
I love my cake strips! I think I've had mine for 15 years. I'm the only person I've ever seen use them, glad to know I'm not alone. Great list! I added a few things to my Christmas list. Your favorite rolling pin is on clearance at Williams Sonoma right now!
I have an antique ice cream scoop or disher that I use for cake batter and now thanks to you I know get the frosting on a sheet cake really even with the small scoop. I need a bench blade scraper thing. Good day
Every other 'Kitchen Gadgets' vid I've seen has made me, frankly, angry! They always go for those single-purpose gimmicky things that are pointless. Every single thing you presented in this vid was wonderful!
Thank you for sharing this. I know what you mean by the nightmare of trimming cakes and getting crumbs on the cream. I suffered through all that when baking my son's 18th birthday multi-tiered cake. I am certainly going to get the cake strips. And the correct cake tins.
I really enjoy your videos! You have such a calm and gentle manner when explaining anything, and although I’ve been baking for years you have some great tips. I also like how you offer two options for a piece of equipment, one can be pricey and the other a home made budget version (which makes a nice change from being sold something!). I congratulate you on being clear with your instructions and giving the measurements in both US/UK - much appreciated as I’m based in England. One last thing; when is your book coming out, and your TV show on air?
I first saw your cakes on instagram and am so glad to have found your youtube channel. Your cake strips video is a huge revelation. Cake trimming makes no sense! Absolutely love your channel. Please keep them coming.
Used your way of making my own cake strips and WOW what a positive difference!! I then ordered a couple sets of Wilton cake strips to from now on use on every cake I bake!! They help so much!!
The spatula is my all time favorite tool I can be a real nerd about it. I hate wasting food or even seeing people not use a spatula to get out the last of the bowl.
Oh my God the video that I need to learn more thank you preppy amazing videos!! Keep it up!!
Preppy Kitchen very helpful😄😄
Preppy Kitchen Loved this video.pls pls pls do a kitchen tour next😘
Totally adorable!
This guy is freaking adorable. I like that he chuckles at himself.
Right???
Ikr♡
I ❤️him too😀
the guy's a 3 dollar bill
Greek that why

He's undoubtedly one of my favourite UA-camrs. So down to earth and adorable
😂 "the tears are mixing in"
I know the feeling
6:29 "...like I don't have any egg separating tools, that's dumb" 😂😂😂😂
I just discovered your channel and I AM HOOKED! Your cakes are beautiful absolutely gorgeous, obvi, but your vids are quick, easy to follow, informative and you’re just a joy to the watch !! 🙏🏻
Everything she said! I am so hooked!
My favorite rolling pin belonged to my great grandmother. I feel so fortunate to have it. 🤗
I bought that rolling pin with the “training wheels” and I love it. Even cookies every time.
I've been watching you for several months now, and I find your recipes and advice to be spot on. Thank you.
You are the first teacher that made me know how to make cakes. And made me love making cakes It is beautiful that makes me want to have my own cake shop. I must thank the teacher You are the cutest person

I love your videos. I find them both informative and "entertaining." Thanks for sharing your work and knowledge.
I'm a baking strip convert! I just bought another after trying one out, but I tried the homemade foil one and that worked perfectly too 😊
Thanks a lot for keeping it on point and concise 😊
I love to bake but im sad coz i dont have a beautiful kitchen like yours. And i wish i could have all your kitchen tools and your baking needs like oven, mixers and everything.

This was such fun! I’d love to see lots of “famous” cooks tell us their favourite gadgets.

I have a very small cookie business and LOVE my “training wheels” rolling pin!
Thanks. I agree, being prepared and having the "right stuff" helps immensely.
Besides your awesome recipes, I just love your commentary! I literally laugh out loud everytime!
I am very new for baking and it is a new whole cuisine for me (I am from Thailand). As living in the U.S. For a couple years, i am switching to American cuisine sometimes and i love all baked goods.

I binge watched all your videos. You're AMAZING.
So love your recipes, your videos and your farm and farm life. Thanks a lot !
Thank you so much. Now my debate with myself about 8" vs 9" cake pans is finally solved and I'm going to buy the W-S gold 8" cake pans. All the best. Mark

I always wanted my great grandmothers hand egg beater. I have it now and its not nearly as much fun as I thought it would be!
Back in my cake decorating days, I used to like to tone my green icing with a bit of the pink/red/purple buttercream I was using for the roses. It always looked softer and more natural.
I have to say I just love your videos! I am an avid cook/baker. Long before pandemic days I was the person who baked my own bread and cooked my food from scratch.

Your tip on cake strips was a game changer for me! I made mine and wow what a difference! Thank-you so much! I never knew they existed.
John thank you for the tools needed in the kitchen. Im running 🏃♀️ to the Chefs store close to me. KW MT. 🇺🇸
Wow!!!! So helpful...so heartily explained...copper copes up so crazily..
Because of you and your videos, I have gained weight, spent money on cake supplies, and had a lot of fun!!! Thanks.
Ice cream scoops are so useful for baking. I use mine to make muffins that are uniform. I have a smaller one for drop cookies.
My momma has a rolling pin she's been using since before I was born in 19 hundred and 73. There's so many tools and so little time. Now I have an idea of why I haven't broadened my horizons in the baking department. I don't have any of the things I need to do it.

Totally agree with you, John, about the blasted low cake turntables. Waste of time and very ineffective.
Perhaps this will sound over-dramatic, but cake strips changed my life!! Also..love your videos!
The dark edges of the cake are the best part by far.
John you are One of My Favour Baking Guys I love to Watch... Ur Explanations are so Easy to understand n U have Ignited More of A Passion to do with Baking

I had no idea that was how people prevented the "dome" now I use one on everything including banana loafs.. Ok not pound cake. Even my hubbie has observed the improvement.. Ya we're family too!
Thanks again John for all your contributions.
You've made several corrections to my techniques.
Huggs from Canada 🍁
Wow John !!!! Almost didn't recognize you without your trademark Gingham shirt !!!
Gracias John, muy útil sus comentarios sobre los utensilios necesario para el bakery.
Thank you very much for sharing all this things...it is indeed very helpful. Oh btw iam an avid fan of your baking stint.
John your kitchen is beautiful and I love your video, lots of information.
I learn more, and more from Preppy every time. I look forward to next video. Thanks Preppy!
John, my man, partially burnt cookies are the bomb
I mean, you can't give them away! They're so ugly! Guess you just have to eat them :P what a shame
Love this informational video, I would love it if you made more!
@@PreppyKitchen need list for tools and gadgets, please.
What a great video! Thank you so much for all of the tips. I had actually already purchased some of the things in this video based on your previous comments about them. They truly make a difference for a home baker like me. You’re awesome!
I never knew that a copper whisk would make beating egg whites a little easier. I wanted to make homemade meringue frosting but I gave up because it I had to it manually. I'm a girl who would prefer power gadgets for some things. Thanks for the insight. 😊
lol both informative and entertining, more importantly honest
Bought a pastry mat on your advice and it's brilliant..I made your cheese and chive biscuits and the dough turned out very sticky without the mat I would have had to add tons of extra flour great tip
I love my cake strips! I think I've had mine for 15 years. I'm the only person I've ever seen use them, glad to know I'm not alone. Great list! I added a few things to my Christmas list. Your favorite rolling pin is on clearance at Williams Sonoma right now!
I have an antique ice cream scoop or disher that I use for cake batter and now thanks to you I know get the frosting on a sheet cake really even with the small scoop. I need a bench blade scraper thing. Good day
Getting green color with matcha powder! How on earth I've never thought of that! Thank you!
Great video. Thanks for going over the essential baking/pastry tools in your kitchen.🤗🙂💖
Oooh, nothing beats a super dark, almost burnt peanut butter cookie!!!
Every other 'Kitchen Gadgets' vid I've seen has made me, frankly, angry! They always go for those single-purpose gimmicky things that are pointless. Every single thing you presented in this vid was wonderful!
You're just so amazing
Thank you for sharing this. I know what you mean by the nightmare of trimming cakes and getting crumbs on the cream. I suffered through all that when baking my son's 18th birthday multi-tiered cake.
I am certainly going to get the cake strips. And the correct cake tins.
I really enjoy your videos! You have such a calm and gentle manner when explaining anything, and although I’ve been baking for years you have some great tips. I also like how you offer two options for a piece of equipment, one can be pricey and the other a home made budget version (which makes a nice change from being sold something!).
I congratulate you on being clear with your instructions and giving the measurements in both US/UK - much appreciated as I’m based in England.
One last thing; when is your book coming out, and your TV show on air?
TV Show??? Seriously??? Yay!!! I love your videos and would absolutely watch every show!!! Please let us know when to expect your debut. Thanks 🙏
Everything she said here and let me know your tv schedule. I will watch.
I first saw your cakes on instagram and am so glad to have found your youtube channel. Your cake strips video is a huge revelation. Cake trimming makes no sense! Absolutely love your channel. Please keep them coming.
Used your way of making my own cake strips and WOW what a positive difference!! I then ordered a couple sets of Wilton cake strips to from now on use on every cake I bake!! They help so much!!
The spatula is my all time favorite tool I can be a real nerd about it. I hate wasting food or even seeing people not use a spatula to get out the last of the bowl.
Love you Prepper!!
Thanks so much. I totally agree being prepared is the key. Love ❤️ your channel
Thank you. I've learned a lot from your video. I appreciate all the tips you share.
Thank you for making this video!
