I'd argue that the lemon sprayer shouldn't be compared to just juicing a lemon like that since the intention (for whatever reason) is to get a fine spray. So the comparison would be to juice the lemon first and then put that into a spray bottle.

The lemon sprayer I think is more of a bartending thing or salad where you just need a slight spray of lemon juice vs a lot of juice. Still loses out to just having a mini spray bottle.

[@maximilianmaier3950]

I like it a lot. I prefer using fresh lemons whenever possible and I use theim not only for their juice but also for lemon zest. If I emptied the lemon into a spray bottle, I could keep the juice, but the zest would go bad really fast. The sprayer allows me to keep the lemon mostly intact, so it stays fresh in the fridge much longer and I can use it for lemon zest and for it's juice whenever I need to. And when I start to feel uncomfortable keeping the entire fruit, because it might go bad soon, i can still cut it open and save just the juice.

[@bobd2659]

It certainly has it's uses for that, and for a bar or restaurant the bottle would be better. But for home, you won't need a lot. I'd rather go with this, than a spray bottle that would end up being hard to clean, and fresh lemon doesn't store nearly as well as the bottled stuff... It would also be good for use as a spritz on cookies, like shortbread. Also not just for lemons...an orange shortbread cookie is wonderful!

[@ericktellez7632]

I mean we express the peels of lemons and oranges in bartending but using lemon as a spray? That isn’t really a thing in bartending because the oils on the skin are not the same as the actual juice inside

[@PabloEdvardo]

The real issue in the video was just a simple technique problem. Dan should have thoroughly rolled the lemon around the counter, forcefully, to break apart the internal structure and release the juice BEFORE inserting the auger. By doing it after already cutting and inserting the auger, you're not able to apply as much pressure to the lemon itself, so you aren't going to get as much juice. Even when juicing by hand it's best to crush and roll them first before cutting.

[@MossyMozart]

@@PabloEdvardo - Well, if you really insist on using this gadget, I think the old a-few-seconds-in-the-microwave trick would help liberate the juice for spraying.

The strawberry slicer looks like it might be good for kids helping in the kitchen as it would be safer than a knife. The lemon spritzer would be fine for spritzing on a salad or something else you want only a light amount of the juice and then cutting the lemon for other use. The watermelon cutter looked the best of all, though. The one who did the cutting should get the core :-) or you could slice the core for watermelon 'coins' which would look nice in a fruit salad beside the wedges.

[@Kavafy]

If you wanted less juice then you'd just do half a lemon or something

[@swanpride]

@@Kavafy If you do actual lemon, you don't need a lemon/lime sprayer imho. The sprayer is the only one of the gadgets I actually own, but I have never actual lemon in it, but some sort of lemon essence (not sure what the english word for it is). Basically a replacement for when you suddenly realised that you have forgotten to buy lemons, or if you only need a little bit of the aroma and don't want to slice a whole lemon for it. Since the replacement is way more intense than actual lemon, you have to use it very carefully. And that's what the sprayer is useful for. (to clarify, there is naturally some sort of plastic lemon under it, and thats where the replacement stuff is filled in...basically more a fancy spray bottle).

I feel like cleaning time needs to be included in the “vs kitchen knife” test. If the tool saves you 2 seconds, but needs a minute to be properly cleaned, it is a fail.

[@sweetlorikeet]

The exception would be if the tool is in some way safer/easier to use for someone with a disability like tremors or arthritis. If it's not faster than a knife, but takes significantly less grip strength or something like that, then that could still get a pass.

[@peggedyourdad9560]

@@sweetlorikeet I feel like the category "ease of cleaning" could take these people into account. If someone has dexterity issues or a disability that affects coordination and/or motor control, I'd assume they'd have to make sure a tool is easy and safe to clean.

[@yuki97kira]

I think most of it would be great if its for a party... Say for example a watermelon cutter took 5 seconds (hand 10 sec) but cleaning took 10 seconds (hand 5 sec). I mean thats for one watermelon... If youre hosting a party and cut off 5 watermelons... Itd be something like: For easier understanding (sorry i had to add this since my explaination is a bit all over the place and im trying to make it clearer): Slicer (1)= 5 sec(cutting) + 10 sec (cleaning) = 15 sec Knife (1)= 10 sec (cutting) + 5 sec (cleaning) = 15 sec Slice (5) = 5(5) + 10= 25+ 10 = 30 sec Knife (5) = 10(5) + 5 = 50 + 5 = 55 sec

I work at an açaí bowl place, and I use the strawberry slicer every day. It’s super convenient and it works fine with my smaller hands, but in every one of the slicers after about a week it breaks somehow. The top part doesn’t spring back up so you have to manually put it up every time you slice, or the blades become crooked so it doesn’t slice all the way through. Usually i make fun of the kitchen gadgets because I don’t know what anyone would by them since doing it by hand only takes a couple more seconds, but in the case of restaurants the gadgets really come in handy! (even if they break most of the time)

PRobably already mentioned on this older video; but you should really be cutting the bottom bit of the watermelon off to stop it from moving around while you use the watermelon slicer. It's something you would do with a knife anyway and it would stop it from fumbling around which might allow it to cut all the way through. You always want to make every surface of anything you cut flat if you're working on a flat surface to stop it from rolling around. Be safe while cutting, y'all.

[@ArchangelApollo]

I'd get the watermelon slicer. As for the center core, nobody gets it, it's going in a pitcher of water with cucumber, and mint. I was thinking larger curved teeth for the coconut tap, something more akin to a tiger shark tooth that is both curved and serrated. As the the lime, damn strait you put the lime in the coconut and drink em all up. I've got a citrus juicer that bores in and allows you to pour out the juice. Rolling and squeezing the fruit first helps, as does pulling out that boring core. Then when I can't pour more, I remove the tap and just squeeze. I could see using that sprayer. Come strawberry season and I'm making jam, that'll slicer would be useful. Though I can't see using it unless I'm working with a lot of strawberries.

"I'm going to give this another 20 minutes, then I'm giving up" 🤣🤣 My favourite line in this one.

A video with Dan? It’s a good day!

[@Krokodilius]

i've always wanted one of those watermelon cutters but for cake.

[@chitchat3156]

I've got a mini one for apples! Super easy to wash, and much quicker and accurate than slicing and coring an apple.

[@kennedystapleton2279]

“Best watermelon tube I’ve ever had” is a beautiful sentence. Great episode.

[@davidbentley6399]

Getting pinched and lemon juice in the eye... this has been your most dangerous video yet lol

[@krystalturner3544]

I just like this video without even watching the video. It's because I like this guy!

[@Cooperisdebest]

You know what’s crazy, one day you’ll see a video on KZbin that was made 40 years ago and it was just now recommended to you

[@Blank12456]

Dan is an international treasure

[@kavya1556]

To would be great to see the price so we can see if it is actually worth being and is value for money

[@haikutehfox6044]

Always love seeing these pop up in my feed! Dan is such a nice and funny guy, and I really enjoy these videos!

[@MaYa-wl7pp]

I really would like to see an episode, where they bring gadgets that was redesigned by him, to check whether it would work better or not.

"Just a personal advice, keep this away from your eyes" I love this guy.

This man must be protected at ALL costs.

[@wa7saka]

it’s cool to watch him quickly sketch the design and color code the lines

[@Felipera_]

I Sense a Lot of sexual energy in this episode

[@Larweigan]

Like, I didn't want to be the first to write this but when he went to town on that watermelon tube...

[@ledubois6]

😳 same

[@xMissTix]

Yes agreed it’s the slight caressing of the fruit and oiling hands of the hands for me 😳

@@Larweigan Loll come on

[@trusthd2243]

The Melon slicer only works on "soft" melons. The blades also bend, so maybe stronger blades or something to add stability would work better.

[@katiesaccount1]

I want the lemon one because if you’re not going to use all of it it’s great! You can store it in the fridge without it getting dry lmao

[@houndoomrulz]

Thank you for making everybody's days brighter and filled with fun, Gadget Grandpa Dan, and happy gadgeting anniversary
