@@SortedFood That first thing reminds me of a thing here in Sweden. French Hotdogs. Which is as the name suggests, a hotdog or sausage stuffed into a hollowed out baguette. Can find them pretty much everywhere they sell hotdogs, and they are often a bit more expensive as they come with more sauce. A Tip too, pour some sauce/ketchup/condiment along the rim, so that as the sausage is pushed in, it pulls some of the condiment with it, properly coating the inside

[@sjmiz1760]

I've had numerous push pedal trash cans and the lever device is often underpowered or breaks easily or the lid flops off the mechanism. I went through 3 of them breaking before I bought the simplehuman slimline pedal can over a decade ago, and with very heavy use it still works perfectly. They don't sell it anymore, but I'm pretty confident it's going to last so long that it won't matter. Their stuff is very pricey, but after 3 failed trash cans in 5 years, I kind of feel like it's worth it. I definitely wouldn't get the voice one, though, that feels very unnecessary especially when the pedal model is so durable and can lock open hands-and-foot-free as well.

@@sjmiz1760 I was gifted a foot pedal operated trash bin over 2 decades ago and it's still working fine.

[@allisonfortier8935]

We had that bin...Dad is an early adopter. Used it for a year before replacing it with their pedal one. The Microphones loose sensitivity over time and it does randomly open and close. When the battery is low it might not open at all. Also if you have dogs that are at sensor height it's really easy for them to access. It is also really easy to dent. So while it is nice in theory its not very practical. Save your money and get the step/non voice activated one.. Thanks for another fun episode!

[@katepoop1234]

can agree - have seen this bin in action, terrible over time!

[@nikicrank2198]

We have one of the non-voice activated motion sensor ones and it eats batteries and opens randomly. On top of that, once you've changed the bin bag, it wont open for a while. I really wouldn't persist with it had it not cost so much. Love SimpleHuman just think (now) that this is addressing a problem which doesnt actually exist

[@Kristina-oo4en]

For this price range I'd recommend a bin that packs itself as well, like "TowNew" or similar. I have "TowNew" for 4 years now, it works like a charm and I've never had a problem with it. It is great for our bathroom. For the kitchen, of course, 1 or 2 compartments are a joke. I need at least 6 to sort everything, lol (paper, glass+metal, plastic, general rubbish, food scraps for composting and bottles to return for deposit). Recycling is really on another level in my country. I could not do with 2 compartments only.😅

The knife grip is brilliant. I love that Ebbers immediately recognized its potential as a training aid for proper knife grip, too. I have some arthritis in my hands already, and if I decide to do a big cooking day, pinching the knife can start to be difficult, as much as I love using my beautiful kitchen knife collection. I immediately purchased 2 of them; Mom has very bad arthritis in her hands and will love it, too!

[@bloodgain]

@@soniawagenmanngrundies1787 Unfortunately, it looks like they only make a right-handed one currently. They look like a very small company, but maybe they'll be successful and release more products.

[@eldoradocanyonro]

I will never understand pinching the blade and leaving half the handle unused. I get that it decreases the lever arm, giving you more control over a long knife, but in so doing it negates the ability to use the length of the blade over which your fingers are positioned--and as shown in this clip, it reduces comfort, as well as control compared to a full hand grip on the handle of a shorter knife--thus requiring an extra gadget. If you need the extra control provided by holding closer to the tip, just use a shorter knife for tasks that need a shorter blade! I have 5", 7", and 9" chef's knives (Santoku, Partoku, and Western), 3" and 4" paring knives, 5" and 6" utility knives, and long carving knives..... the 3" paring and 5" utility blades get 70% of my use, and the 6" utility gets probably another 20%. I could seriously do 90% of my prep work with just a 5 or 6" utility or chef's knife. If the manufacturer intended for you to hold the knife by the spine, they would have placed the handle over that portion and shortened the heel.

[@bloodgain]

​@@eldoradocanyonro There are different grips, and some people use a different grip that works better for them. I switch grips for some tasks myself. But there's a reason nearly every professional in a Western kitchen uses the pinch grip. In a professional kitchen, efficiency and function will win out, no matter how someone was trained to do something. Are you saying you know better than several centuries worth of full-time professional knife-users? I'd like to see you use a Chinese chef's knife (cleaver style) by holding only the handle. Even if you can control it, your hand will be fatigued in half an hour. I frequently use a two-finger pinch on mine because of the weakness caused by arthritis.

The hot dog spike is a common implement on hotdog stands around Alpine ski slopes. It's usually even heated, so the hole gets toasted after the bun gets spiked. Very useful on a ski slope, since now you can eat the hot dog in full winter gear, including gloves.

[@TF_NowWithExtraCharacters]

Does the plastic spike heat up enough to toast the bun? I'm honestly surprised to hear that. Admittedly I didn't think of winter gear, but I'd imagine the uneven-condiment-distribution issue would be a big concern, and cutting the bun from the side would solve most of the slipping-out issue.

[@DarkThunderism]

@@TF_NowWithExtraCharacters Nah, these are just plastic. The proper ones are on a heated stand and are made of metal. As for the uneven condiment distribution, it's not that much of an issue, because once you put the sausage in the bun, it'll push the condiments back up. Either way, ski slope hotdogs are, imo, better than normal hot dogs 😂

[@valencygraphics]

All you need for clear ice is a cooler, like a smaller igloo preferably in a rectangular shape. Fill it with water, stick it in the freezer. Because of the insulated sides, it will freeze from the top to the bottom. Doing this pushes the air molecules down to the bottom as the water freezes by forming tight bonds while freezing. This is why ice cubes look the way they do, they're not insulated on the sides, so it pushes the air to the center, making more bonds with the air and "impurities" as it freezes and making micro-cracks that make it cloudy. Boiling water or distilling/distilled water doesn't make a big enough difference unless you have absolutely terrible water to begin with. I've used regular hard tap water and it worked just fine in an Igloo lunch cooler that I used in college. You do have to let it freeze for awhile, so at least 24 hours. What you will be left with is a solid top and then some shell/shards of ice on the bottom that you can easily cut or melt off. You can look up the same tutorials on youtube, but that will be the gist of it. Benefits of clear ice: It lasts longer and it looks cool. Technically, it should taste a bit better, too, but it depends on the water (which is where cleaner water does help). You can cut it by scoring the top with a knife a few times and then using it with something heavy (a small rubber mallet, piece of wood, etc) and punching down. Ice does dull your blades, so use something pretty cheap. It also helps if it's serrated, so like a bread knife.

3:00 - the 1st gadget works the way we usually do a hot dogs in Czech Republic. I mean these "simple" hot dogs only bun with sausage and ketchup or mustard (usually only one of them in one hot dog, we don't usually mix those). We cut the very tip of the bun so it's the rod can enter the bun easilly and on top of that, the rod is almost always made of metal and it's heated so it heats up the bun from inside before we insert the sausage. And as you mentioned, this way your sauce will be almost always smashed on the bottom. And you cannot stuffy any other fillings (like onions or pickles). But it's convinient as a street food, because nothing falls of and you can easilly eat it only with one hand. Your style of hot dogs is being spread in our country rather recently (like 10-20 years) and they are getting popular too.

The bin is amazing!!! I’ve had it for 3 years now and I love it. I hate touching trash lids so now all I have to do is wave my hand and, tada, the lid auto opens. Also the liners never slip and it’s easy to pull out when full. Money well spent!

[@sarahnichols8485]

Ok, I do own a simple human automatic can. It has made my life so much easier! Especially with really messy things, the liners never fall down, having a liner holder in the back makes life so much easier. The dual compartments is so nice! I do actually use regular liners in it, the smaller rolls do fit in the refill bin.

[@ezzatisaid]

Could I ever visit you just to have the binning experience because I'll never be able to afford it lol

[@castinganetcommunity]

Thank you guys so much for all of the extra content lately!! I live for your updates and religiously watch your channel! You guys are amazing!!!!!!

[@Bilbo56]

The knife glove, type thing and the bin definitely

[@jkh4q]

I have a bin made by the same company, and I absolutely love it. Yes, it was excessively priced, but you can use standard liners too (they don't advertise that, obviously), and it comes with a lifetime warranty. I'd recommend it.

[@RaccKing21]

One of my knives has a flared spine that was polished to a mirror shine. It's such a huge improvement to have something like that, let alone a larger ergonomic grip. With my old knives I had that callus on my index finger from the spine rubbing on it. Ever since I switched knives, it has disappeared. I can imagine that workers that do a lot of prep would appreciate that knife grip.

[@JohnDoe-hj9fh]

The hot dog drill thing is quite good for making and plating up multiple hot dogs

[@anyaakovalchuk]

The first one is interesting! I was on a roadtrip in Finland last summer and at petrol stations they serve hot dogs in enclosed buns (the way you ate them with the drill xd), and I thought it was genius, because you could easily continue driving and eat at the same time. I never really questioned how the hole was made...

[@siouxsqueakpickle3272]

Friends of mine had a smart bin, albeit not quite as bougie as this one. Unfortunately, their dogs figured it out in no time and that was the end of using it. I am intrigued by the brass ice shaper, and I really want the knife holder. The passage of time is making itself known to my hands, and I think that little gadget could greatly boost grip and alleviate discomfort for me. It's going to be my next kitchen purchase. Thanks for the demo!

[@nenebops7744]

I'm definitely ordering that knife grip! Last time I used a sharp knife, it went straight through my hand (I'm disabled with dexterity issues). This could be a game changer!

[@ambertrue853]

We have 2 Simple Human bins with the pedal and LOVE them. We don't buy the fancy liners, though - standard sized ones work just fine. This video definitely made me want a voice activated bin too.

[@gauravshukla71]

I totally get the lure of a pedal one - separated bins for trash and recyclables are nice. I don't see the use case for the voice control though outside of for folks with severe movement disabilities

[@RichardCalder67]

I was thinking what Ebbers said about the knife grip, it teaches people how to properly hold knives too, which is a big safety feature.

[@kaziticus4308]

We had a SimpleHuman can a few years back, and my dogs both figured out that they could open it by walking by. Made me keep an eye on the trash, though, and it never got really high!

[@darklordofsword]

Mesnwhile in the US, basically nowhere you find "hotdog buns" do they not already have a pre-cut slit.

[@tammywilson985]

My dog would love the motion-activation on the bin. I have a lid for a reason. I like the knife grip.

[@Titchyhill]

The ever grip is actually something I would go and buy. I have mobility problems and keeping a grip on a knife enough to chop safely isnt the best. That however might help. Would have to give it a try!

[@davidmccarthy6061]

I'd say knife grip only. Not drink snobbish enough for fancy ice. I wouldn't get the bin but can see it having some use cases.

[@handballman10]

The take from 12:32 from Ben is the exact Vibe that I have when in need to get up for work on monday 😅

[@redneck-ew1wm]

The innuendos were perfect

[@kelseybowhay2674]

we have that bin and it opened when Jamie said "Open Can" hahahaha

[@auntlynnie]

I have the step-on analog version of that SimpleHuman bin, and I love it.

[@TheAgent0097]

The first thing is called a french hotdog in Denmark. Was literally eating one when watching. Usually made with a more baguette like bread. Was popularized in the 80's because it was easier on the go.

[@ProgressingImperfectly]

I have the $100 version (not powered) of that bin and I love it. The liners aren’t much more expensive than the cheap ones and they fit perfectly. It also makes trash and recycle convenient so I actually bother to separate them. The scent thing fell into the trash immediately though.

[@sandragoodman2059]

I have a plain, old, ordinary Simple Human trash can with a step on opener, and I love it. It's totally worth having to get expensive liners.

[@TolaAlfrunKikula]

the "hotdog bun driller" just gives you a French dog which is super normal in Denmark 😂😂

[@SleepyTinksy]

I have the version of that bin that is NOT voice/motion activated (it just has a foot pedal) and I absolutely love it. Sure, its a bit pricey, but it also comes with a 10yr warranty, and they actually stand behind it if something breaks. Most importantly though, the bags just fit correctly, never tear or leak, and area easy to get in/out. I would absolutely recommend the pedal version of the bin - the microphone and sensor one just seems excessive to me. My feet are never too busy to open the bin, and it just seems like extra stuff to break or fail.

[@amysanangel76]

The countdown to the bin closing was the perfect ending...fancy trash can and an evening of entertainment in one!! 😅

[@lunap7029]

Was having an absolute crap day and this brightened it immediately. Thank you guys so much.

[@laerketis]

In Denmark the first one is called a French Hotdog. It's pretty good and you can get them at any hotdog cart or petrolstation.

[@MrSirViking]

So with the first Gadget you are making French Hotdogs? We sell a lot of those in Denmark. Its just a larger bread that has a pre made hole in the top and then you fill in condiments and a sausage. The French Hotdog breads are sold in all grocery stores. No need for a gadget to make the holes :)

[@jason9152]

I have an automatic opening bin, and I love it. It was $70 Canadian I got my first one in 2003, and had to replace it because it does in 2014. The one I have now is on its last legs. I won't but that one, but I will get another one with the hand sensor. I also have a clear ice maker. large clear ice is awesome for cocktails, because it melts far slower.

[@kristinwright6632]

I have a Simple Human bin that I have used for probably twenty years. It is just a well made normal bin with a foot activator. It is quite slim and they want me to buy custom bags. Nope. I just use regular bags knowing that they won't be entirely full. No problems. That bin has been tough as nails and looks really nice. I splurged on it. Forty dollars two decades ago. Worth every penny.

[@james0000]

I had a kitchen garbage can ("bin") like the one shown for several years after seeing my in-laws had one and experiencing theirs. After several years with it, we have reverted back to a manual bin operated with a foot pedal. If you have some sort of accessibility issue that requires voice and/or motion activation, fine, aside from that I/we have found that a very simple foot pedal is more reliable and efficient in general and doesn't require the waste of batteries.

[@tetchedistress]

The knife grib is about the only one I would try.

[@mymartianhome]

Years ago at university we had a variant on the hot dog bun borer, we rewired a hair curler so it not only made the hole it toasted the inside of the bun for a crisper experience. You could also fill the hole with baked beans.

[@MrGrimm92]

Bahaha LITERALLY throwing your money in the trash. I love the knife grip though, absolutely love when kitchen workers come up with stuff like like being a lifelong professional cook myself.

[@stevehawley5618]

When I was in France about 10 years ago, I got a hot dog in baguette. It was made by cutting the baguette in two, using a tool to cut out the core, then placed off a rod that infused it with steam before putting in the hot dog. That was delightful.

[@LaraineBouguer]

13:03 The look on Ebbers' face is priceless.

[@TigerlilyWarrior]

That knife one is a great idea. My mom doesn't really cook anymore after she had trouble holding her knife steady. I never really realized how much it changed her (and Dad's ) eating habits.

[@BakingHimani]

In the decade I’ve watched Sorted you think I’d learn to not eat at the same time. I nearly died choking from laughter 😂

[@kralevic3297]

Here in the Czech Republic, every place that sells hot-dogs owns a weird "gadget" that consists of several thick metal spikes. It not only makes a hole in your bread roll, but also warms it up (and maybe even sightly toasts it from the inside). We don't add basically any codiments to our hot-dogs (apart from ketchup/mustard), but they are very convenient to eat.

[@kibo1331]

In Denmark we call it a French hotdog when you have the sausage sit in a hole in the bread. It's very popular. We have special crunchy French bread for it though

[@torspedia]

They don't like it up 'em! 🤪 As for the bin, the recycling compartment isn't really all that efficient, if you're then having to separate different types of material into their correct bins!

[@seanbennett7957]

A similar Hot Dog Drill device is used all over Austria in sausage stands and Imbisses. Except they are electric and heated, so they set and toast the bread, usually a baguette, around the hole to firm it up. Then condiments and sausages (bratwurst, Krakauer, käsekrainer, etc.) are placed in and the whole thing can be eaten on the go. I know it seems a bit crazy, but it’s so effective and it’s the only way I would want it done now! Also, when it comes to testing ingredients you’ve never had before, can I suggest Waldmeister? It’s a plant that we use in Germany and Austria to flavour sweets and drinks. Products with this flavour are usually neon green, so will look good on camera too!

[@Henrik_Holst]

The first one that is known as "French Hotdog" in Denmark and Sweden (name probably from the baguette style bun and that the original sauce was French Dijon and Mayo) is also quite similar to the Ketwurst "invented" in the 70:ies in East Germany. "Invented" in Denmark in the 1980:ies and came later to Sweden in the early 90:ies.
