When you're doing the testing you should also do a control or side by side test. For example...the knife sharpener you should have dropped a tomato on it before you sharpened it, the thawing plate you should have put another steak on a regular plate beside it, the scissors you should have used regular scissors too

[@sweetpea1989]

I have the thawing plate and it works perfectly. I also have the herb scissors and they are easy to clean. You normally do not cut the stems (who wants stems in their food?)

[@OneSouthernSimmer]

I agree but to be honest putting the frozen meat on an aluminum cooking sheet could serve the same purpose

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

@@sweetpea1989I have herb scissors. They are BARELY worth it. Herbs do get stuck but it’s easy to remove them. I use my silicone spoon to just slide them off. But because i have to dirty another utensil, it’s barely worth it

[@PejicVladimir]

[@skzlr86]

The plate that is supposed to thaw meat out faster needs to be compared to a plate at the same time. Best way to determine it’s worth.

[@honzaakkk]

[@lcogan65]

I use a thick aluminum cookie sheet to thaw meat on and it does thaw significantly faster. It helps to dissipate the cold.

[@jessicapearson9479]

The potato peeling gloves do work fast if you use them right. You soak the potatoes in warm water for about 5 to 10 minutes. Not cold or room temperature water. Then you use the gloves on them while holding the potatoes under running warm water. This rinses off the peel as it comes off the potatoes. Preventing the gloves from getting the peels stuck in between the little spikes. The running warm water also keeps the peels soft.

[@hshmanowin]

It's nice to see that you have the same junk as we do in Germany...

[@CRUIKSHANK_]

I died when you cut up the tomatoes for the stuffed burger with the credit card.

[@barefootalien]

For the meat defroster thing... that _does_ work, but you can do it much better with two baking trays and a couple of pots. Put the meat between the trays. Stack the pots on top. Done. It'll defrost a 2" steak in about 20 minutes flat, or chicken breasts in 10. The secret is that the thermal conductivity of the metal effectively increases the surface area of the meat.

[@PodoHelmer]

[@seasmacfarlane6418]

The "slap-chop" has been around for donkey's years. Made by Zyliss, and called an "Autochop", and much more effective. I've got both the sizes they made and they work perfectly despite being 50+ years old. Meat defrosts more quickly if you put it on a simple metal baking sheet. The egg poacher is actually an egg coddler. Poached eggs are cooked in the water, coddled eggs are cooked in a container which is then placed in the water.

[@grahamjohnson4702]

You can insert them into the water so it covers the eggs that's what I do, no need for a lid then, but I use a pan not a frying pan.

[@bakerfresh]

I had his same problems with The Slap Chop. All the cleaning, it seemed to me that it would be easier doing it myself. Or, you can use a processor?!? They got different sizes.

[@MrBauleBeter]

It even got famous in the 80s and 90s in West Germany

[@derinaries]

With the slushie cup, the liquid needs to be cold before adding it to tbe cup. Thats why it took so long. I have one.

[@mr.cykelcrash8390]

The herb scissors is great, mine came with a small comb thing to get the stuck herbs out. If you cut the herbs in a bowl you can get the very fine choped and most of the herb that get stuck between the blades comes out when you continue choping and the rest you just easy rinse off with running water.

[@Marpurrsa]

the issue i have with herb scissors is most of them aren't sharp enough and bruise the herb this is fine if ur gonna cook with it anyway but for things like chives a good presentation is important so id rather cut it by hand and have it not be bruised

[@MarianadeOliveiraSaitu]

My mother has one and it's awful. Faster and better chopped with a knife for sure, even though I'm bad with knives. And it's super annoying to clean.

[@spookyengie735]

Personally don't see the utilities of this over a knife or a normal scissors.

[@Bojack316]

I don't see how that plate would help thaw meat faster but would have like to see 2 steaks of the same size with 1 as a control on a normal plate of the counter to see if there was any difference. I would also love to see the pancake flipper thing again but sprayed with oil (not sure if you did) to prevent sticking, and a bit less batter in each.

[@madhatter2549]

it works because the metal is a super thermal conductor so it takes and dissipates temperature differences faster

[@sayhellotogalaxy7576]

aluminum is super thermally conductive for example when you go outside and its cold and touch some wood it will feel cold but not as much as if you were to touch a metal pole since the metal pole pulls heat from your hands faster than some wood

[@saintsone7877]

For best result you need to soak in hot water for a minute or 2 before applying the steak. They do thaw faster than overnight on a normal plate in the fridge if you heat the sheet first.

[@fuzzylon]

It would be interesting to see how easy some of these are to clean and also how much they cost.

[@mizsherm4352]

[@lydia-corrin212]

The defroster plate definitely works wonders!! When I moved out of my parents house I actually asked them if they could tell me where to get one and what it was called because we used it for dinner all the time. I remember that thing always clean and ready to go on the countertop throughout my entire childhood!! Although ours was much smaller- like big enough to unthaw one pound of burger 🤣🤣 10/10 recommend that thing!!!!

[@mmmmmmmmmmm10]

How? How does it work? Just put meat in a bag and put it in warm water, defrosts quick as.

[@mrcuso]

@@mmmmmmmmmmm10 But as someone who is trying to cut down on using plastic, all you have to do is just place it on the aluminum. It works great as aluminum transfers heat very well.

[@anzwertree]

@@mmmmmmmmmmm10 Because science. Aluminum conducts heat. It may not thaw 10X faster but it definitely exhibits increased thawing properties. In the video he just throws up his hands after a couple minutes. If you really wanted to test this he would have used a control and actually measured the temp of both of them at varying times. Furthermore, you absolutely Do NOT use warm water unless you want to grow bacteria on your food. If you wanted to use water you should use cool running water.

[@Marpurrsa]

@@mrcuso reusable zip loc bags work and they're multifunctional id rather have those than have a plate i gotta store for the once in a blue moon where i have a frozen piece of meat to thaw

[@bh4rg4v21]

@@mmmmmmmmmmm10 works because steal has a high heat capacity = absorbs more heat, try it with a pure silver spoon and ice it melts faster

[@garrettgobrien]

The thermal conductivity of metal is significantly higher than that of a plate. Aluminum has a very high conductivity (that's why a lot of cookware is aluminum). If you want to thaw your meat fast, put it in a heavy aluminum or copper pan with another one on top. The pans will conduct heat to the frozen meat much faster than leaving it out. As others have said, you need a control for it. The bottom of the steak was thawed quite a bit, so I would say it was working fine, but without a control, there's no way to know with this short test.

[@dunhillsupramk3]

what actually works is the defrost function on your microwave the defroster plate is a scam, no one that i know that had one or bought one said it worked as advertise... here is the thing aluminum is good at heat transfer so if you live in a cold climate its going to be useless in a warm climate it will actually work BUT just leaving it on the counter will also work the same...

[@garrettgobrien]

@@dunhillsupramk3 You are correct, the defrost function works, but can also cook your food. The thaw plates aren't really a scam, they do actually work, it's just that a pot or pan would do the same thing. If you have the thaw plate on the counter and a regular plate next to it and put something frozen on each (e.g. and ice cube), the thaw plate will thaw it faster, as long as it's warmer than the frozen item (i.e. above freezing). Try it yourself. Get a heavy bottom pot (copper or aluminum is better) and put it on your counter. Put a normal plate next to it. Put an ice cube in each and see which melts faster. The ambient temperature doesn't matter as long as it's above freezing.

[@saintsone7877]

@@dunhillsupramk3 You are partly correct but not fully. The plates will thaw quicker than simply placing on a normal plate. But you need to warm the tray up first in hot water. Even warming a normal plate first will not thaw it as quickly as the aluminium sheet due to the different conductivity levels of metal sheet to plate. If you did a side by side in either type of weather the aluminium tray will thaw the meat quicker than just leaving on the counter on a normal plate whether the tray was heated first or not. It will thaw MUCH quicker if the aluminium plate was heated up first although only a timed test will confirm whether it was 10X faster as claimed by the manufacturer.

Suggest to do an AB control test on the defrosting plate. Get 2 pieces of steak with a very similar (if not the same) weight, cut, and shape and defrost together in the same room. Because different room temperatures, humidities, sizes can alter results but having no control test it isn’t persuading as it has no comparison.
