GMM 1803: Are These Kitchen Gadgets Worth It? (Test)

Are these gadgets handy gizmos or hot garbage? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) – Good Mythical Morning. – One of the things I love most in life is my family, but also efficiency, just below that. In fact, I got a college degree in Industrial Engineering. I use it all the time because I love to find new and improved ways to accomplish tasks quicker and better. – Both for yourself and for others. – Yeah I like to make your life better. – Yeah. – Does this apply to like the kitchen for you? You got a lot of kitchen gadgets that make things easier, quicker? – If I spent more time in the kitchen, sure, but I’m a bit afraid of that zone. – Yeah, for good reason. Well, today we’re going to test some supposedly innovative cutting edge but also kind of strange products to see if they have what it takes to replace the old way of doing things in the kitchen. It’s time for New Tool or Old School Kitchen Edition. So we’re gonna test a series of culinary gadgets and gizmos. All of which claim to improve the old school traditional way of doing stuff of doing stuff in the kitchen. We’re also going to be doing the normal old school way for a direct comparison and then we’re going to declare if you are better off with the new tool, or if you should stay old school. – See how helpful we are? – Yes. (music) We are seeing those videos where people take water melons and smash them between their thighs. You know what am saying. – I’ve seen this yes. – We’re not gonna do that. Haha, you thought maybe we were, we’re not. But we’re going to. – I always knew I couldn’t do it. – We’re gonna be using the stainless steel watermelon slicer, which supposedly makes cubing a watermelon easier than ever before – So it’s got a windmill on it. We have not done this beforehand, so don’t judge us. You just kind of stick around the watermelon and hope for the best – It’s like a wood reamer. What’s that thing where you like, planer? – Oh, whoa. – Oh, my goodness. What? – Yeah. Look at that. – Let me try that. Oh look mine stayed down there yours came up well yeah. – Some of them that time they stayed down. – And there’s a there’s a gauge on the side. – Now they’re going to be really nice cubes. I’m gonna go pretty deep with this and you can go you can go two centimeters deep. – If you just go what I did go straight down into like that that that’s what made it that’s what spits it up like that – This is quite fun. – But is it better than the old school way which I’m going to attempt to demonstrate. – [Stevie] Guys, I breaking news. You’ve just won an all expenses paid vacation to Squaresbill – What? – [Stevie] You should probably bring something to show your gratitude. What better thing to bring than perfect squares of watermelon. But be careful if your watermelon isn’t perfectly squared, you’ll be shackled in the town square where the townspeople will throw rotten square tomatoes at you. – Oh gosh this is very stressful Stevie. – Wow, this is a developed. – [Stevie] To the best of your tools abilities. Fill your bowls with perfectly squared cubes of watermelon. – Alright so, we gotta dump these. – I didn’t get a lot of perfect cubes, that way, but I’m gonna do what I have done as the old school way of cubing a watermelon. – Is a bit of a problem because the pinwheel gets caught. I got it. I gotta say I feel safe, I feel happy, I feel like I’m in the future. – I’m just concentrating a lot. – The ryan kind of prevents you from having too much fun here. – Okay, now turn this sucker inside like this. – The Cube ability of this thing is, it’s a bit difficult, because you can see. see how long and thin these pieces are. They’re not, they’re not very consistent – I’m gonna keep going. – Let’s see. I think this thing costs $17. – All right, I got some really nice cubes over here. – [Stevie] Wow. That your cubes are looking very perfect. – I don’t know about y’all, but that’s some cube crap right there. – [Stevie] The people of Squaresbill will rejoice at your cubes right. – And I got more where that came from. – I mean, mine are edible. But they’re not very cubed. – 4 more, 5 more. – I think we have enough to assess like, hold your, hold your bowl up. – You just like my random cube. – See now okay, see, this is one of my better cubes so I’m just gonna be. Now and because a lot of them are very thin. I mean, I honestly don’t care. That’s nice Rhett. – Hey man, look, at this. – That is more pleasing. – Mm hmm. And I mean, if I did a little extra work, I could get in there and get all the rest of those. – Mine are safer and a lot quicker. May be it’s not quicker. So much of anything. – It’s not a lot what that I mean, I think say Mayor Squaresbills gonna be a lot happier with me. – Yeah, I say what? We’re going to stay with the old tool here, even though, I’m a fan of windmills in general. – Okay, we prefer the old school. – You know how when you’re dunking your cookie in milk sometimes you don’t for a moment too long and then you lose it to a vast sea of cold unforgiving whiteness – Yes. – Well, the Dunking Buddy supposedly makes dunkin cookies easier than ever before. Its’ back. – Right, – Dunkin buddies cost $14 and it’s a it’s a color changing plastic cup. But then I’ve got this thing here where it’s put up put an Oreo in there for me. It’s kinda an Oreo holder. I think you could put I’ma put 2 in there. – You can put 2 in there. – Put 2 at once. And then there’s a magnet. So you put that on either side of the thing. I guess, we should pour some milk first. This kind of a thing. And then, now just go I don’t know if I left anything for you. Even a little bit. Its your thing. – Yeah, it’s my thing. – Sure thing. – That’s good enough. All right, so then we’re going to you put it you know and you put it together. You now have magnets. – You now have magnets. – And then you just dunk it buddy. – You just lower it. – Whoa, you have to go really slow so they stay in the contraction. Okay, here we go. – Oh complete. – Complete submerging. – There they go. – We have complete submerging. I think I said that word wrong. – Waiting too long. – Complete submersion. – They’re really selling this as you don’t lose the cookie. But you also don’t get crumbs in the bottom. – That’s good. – I never had a problem. – Who’s complaining about crumbs. – Yeah, I’m not paying $14 on Amazon for to prevent something that I like. – Or I’m coming back out but oh oh oh, You better bring it back out buddy because it’s getting soggy already. But that is a perfectly dipped cookie. – And the oh my goodness, oh wow. And the whole thing. – All the way to the core. – That’s nice. – Okay, but we got to test this versus the old school way which is your hand. – [Stevie] Guys. – Yeah. – [Stevie] You won’t believe this. The Lakers have invited you to their Annual Basketball Pool Party. They just love to dunk their balls in water. – For real? – [Stevie] In fact, they take all forms of dunking very seriously and they want you to oversee their VIP Cookie Dunking launch – Of course, we accept the job. – [Stevie] To do the job right you need to dunk cookies like a pro for extended periods of time. And to prepare for this VIP job, you need to continually dunk a whole cookie in a glass of milk for the entirety of a classic 90 style NBA Jam. Rhet you have the dunking buddy Link, you have your hand. You guys ready to play some music? – Wow. – What a scenario. – [Stevie] Let’s go. – I’m Devin bow. Got ducking, not dumping. Now I am not dunking my fingers cause you don’t want your fingertips in your milk. This is the proper way to dump. – All right, I have complete submersion. – I’m starting to get. – Ops, there we go worried I would bring it up. – Just as good as the other way. – What about the part you’re holding though? – It’s crunchy. I don’t mind a little bit of crotch. Actually, I actually do prefer that, just cumbersome though because your whole frigging apparatus – But listen, Sylvia on Amazon said. my adult son loved it. So that makes me rethink everything. – Sylvia’s adult son loves it. When it gets really soggy, like this one, it’s gotten even more soggy, You’re at a point where, look at that you’ve got to eat it out of the thing. – And this is the kind of thing you definitely don’t want to do in front of a group of people. I like what they’re trying to do. It did taste good, but there’s just too many social things to overcome. So we’re saying we prefer. – Yeah. – Old school. – Yeah, because there’s just the logistics, the elevation, change. – Its’ so, so awkward. – Quick reminder, to check out the mythical kitchen YouTube channel, Mythical Chef Josh has created Red Lobster Nachos. And every Wednesday you can listen to Josh and Nicole discuss, dissect and debate some of the most fascinating philosophical food topics, on their podcast, A Hot Dog Is a Sandwich available wherever a podcast is podcasted. – Okay now we’ve got the spread that serrated butter knife. This thing is supposed to solve the problem of cold unspreadable butter by transferring the heat from your hand into the knife itself. Therefore making spreading butter easier than ever before. – Good gosh. – The echo is just off the cheese. – So bring, you don’t have butter, I have butter. But let’s just say you got it from the fridge you wanted to keep good so I’m not gonna take I’m just it doesn’t say how long you put your hand on it. I just had my hand on it for however long I’ve had it on. – I feel my body heat been drained into this. – Well. – $20 knife. – Whoa, actually cut really I mean butter does cut pretty easy but it’s also supposed to help with spreading. – I mean. – It’s spreading. – I have a ice cream scooper that uses the same principle. – Yeah, well 3.7 stars out of 5 on Amazon. I’m a bit impatient. – That’s a good spread. But again, this is not hard to test. We got to try the old school way with just a regular knife. – [Stevie] Guys, guys. – Yes wave. – [Stevie] I’ve bad news. An evil spirit has been haunting the Mythical Studio and I’m not talking about nor to. I’m talking about the toast ghost. Only thing – They’re in cahoots? What is in cahoots with the toast ghosts? – [Stevie] Their toast ghosts go away is 3 perfectly buttered pieces of toast. – Three – Who can give the toast ghosts what he needs? In order to finally cross over to the other side. Be careful if the toast ghost doesn’t receive the perfect toast, he will follow you on tonight. Rhett you have a regular knife. – Yes I do. – [Stevie] Link, you have the spread that knife. – This is a heavy knife. – No heat transfer here. Maybe that’s it. Maybe it’s just heavy. – [Stevie] Let’s butter some toast, shall we? – Okay, so still pretty easy. I mean, not as easy maybe, and it’s tough. This is okay. I’m noticing a difference and it’s not spreading as easy as it did with the spread that. – You know what I figured out, don’t use the serrated edge for spreading. I think it is doing a little something. I got a big goop in the middle of too much. Okay, so between the two of us we’ve got three so I’ll look at my 2, you look at your 1. Oh, you’ve got 2. – I got 2 – Let’s compare – Yours is definitely has spread more evenly. You’ve gone all the way to the outside edges and one reason I gave up is because my my my knife was hot enough. – My butt, your butt what? – My butt felt great though. I like the first one that was definitively a better experience. It did what it said it promises to do. – Yeah, so we’re going new tool with this one if you can spare the 20 bucks. This is yoke pig. – The yoke pig. – And it supposedly separates egg whites from egg yolks making separating eggs easier than ever before. – Yeah, we we ran out of our echo budget. Sorry, sorry, it had to be you. – Whatever. Okay. So what are you squeeze this I was gonna say puppy, but piggy. – It’s piggy. – Squeeze this piggy and while you crack your eggs completely into a bowl and then you target the yolks and you just get down there on it and then. – Drop it over here. – Oh, I dropped it back in it didn’t stay. Oh egg yolk so such. Oh, what is that? Let that go. – That’s the white you got a barf out the white. – Oh, there’s more. – Yo, I don’t think you need to hit it. Let me see just that and then. – Okay, I’m gonna I’m gonna oh, – Oh my God! I got a perfect yolk over here. I just deposited a perfect yolk. – Oh my gosh I’m gonna try this one. Oh gosh. Now of course what you’re typically trying to do is you’re trying to get your egg yolks out so you can cook which is your egg whites. Link has ruined that for us. But when you try again. – And I’ma go the old school way and let’s let’s compare the two. – [Stevie] Guys, I have breaking news. You’ve just been invited to the Annual Strong Boys Competition and as you know, each year a bunch of strong boys get together to get together to show each other how strong they are. And they’ve asked you to bring the egg white omelets. Be careful if the strong boys find any yolks in their egg white omelets. I’ll throw you clear across Burbank. You each have six eggs to separate and you better hurry because the strong boys are also hungry boys. – And they’re impatient. – I’m gonna do this just just with the egg itself. Crack it on the table. Try to split it right down the middle. Josh taught me how to do this just a few seconds ago. You’re supposed to move the yolk back and forth. The white part trips down. Okay, that worked. That’s pretty good. Check that out. All right, so I’ve done one. I’m kind of proud of myself. There’s nothing in there. – Okay, I’m done with all sense. See you, but you didn’t do the cracking. – Well, let’s just imagine how long it takes to crack six eggs. – Well, but see, and if you have a problem, you can get that out. Okay. All right, the pig. – This thing’s awesome. – The pig was, the pig is from we got to be seeing new tool for this. Because look at that. I mean, I wanna do someone else too. I don’t want to just make an egg white. I want to make a yolk omelet, – Make a yellow yellow omelet, – And then you can make him swim in the egg whites if you want. – He’s dead. – Okay, so we’re saying definitively new tool for both the yolk pig and the spread that butter knife.
