better idea, you put a heart rate monitors on the normals and "equip" Ben with a blutooth butt plug. The higher the heart rate the more stimulated Ben's prostate will be, it would be the event of our time and way easier to get off to than the "lazy susan".

That's a rather specific type of hot dog though which is not that common. All the hot dog buns I can think of are either pre-sliced or entire buns like what they have. I don't think i've ever actually seen a hollowed out hotdog bun anywhere. I think they would have been much better off making the tip of the warmer more pointed to make it more general use.

[@CDTC666]

Similar ones are (or at least were) used in Czechia, but the rods had a point to more easily penetrate the buns and one end of the buns was usually always cut off. In home environment, you would cut of the end and use a wooden spoon to "hollow" out the middle and then just added steamed sausage. Oh, I nearly forgor, the hole is filled a little with either ketchup, mustard or both.

[@skinnymc4923]

On the hot dog condiments: here in Sweden we have so called "French hot dogs" which are exactly like what you made - hollowed out crispy rolls that you stuff a hot dog into. For the condiments they swirl the nozzle around inside the bun to kind of coat the sides. Of course invariably you end up with a soggy bottom where much of the sauce accumulates, but it does sort of work!

[@MortZar]

To be fair, its also not hotdog, i believe its something similar to a baguatte

The Lazy Susan thingie is actually perfect for that weird corner cabinet with tons of space, but a tiny opening. I have a cabinet I genuinely want it for.

[@pg2826]

They do make rotating shelves for that which would work better and might even be cheaper. Edit: I looked up those shelves are $100-150 on amazon/ikea and they look pretty sturdy as opposed to this where I would worry about things falling off as it rotates

[@Kiki-uu6pc]

At least they can use it for poker face. Hide the items and spin then grab.

[@HenryLoenwind]

@@pg2826 That works if you cabinet has the right shape. But if it's a rectangular one in the corner, with half of it behind that corner, you can't really fit anything rotating inside. the best thing is a half-circle shaped one, but that only brings the stuff from the back half of the cabinet into the front half of the cabinet, where it now sits behind the stuff on the front half on the half-circle.

[@pg2826]

@HenryLoenwind i saw a separate solution for those types of cabinet. It looks like a squiggly rectangle where the whole shelf pulls out. It is called blind corner shelves

[@cloud__99]

I have one and I love it! I have a very high and deep cabinet in my kitchen where I store my sauces. Instead of getting a chair every time and moving the front ones out of the way to get to those at the back I have them all on a Lazy Susan. You lose a bit of space but it’s so handy.

[@vaporsight]

The quick patty maker thing, I think it might be attached upside down. So it's not forcing the mince up into the device but down into it.

[@vickycastillo9214]

I’m glad someone else thought about it. I think they might have put it upright because that’s the only way to see if the patty its full.

[@RobABankWithABagel]

If you look these up you'll see basically everyone recommend a stuffer and not using a grinder for it. A grinder just doesn't have the kind of force to flood the cavity like that quickly(not to mention the need to feed the grinder as well), especially not a stand mixer attachment type. I do think the result would be the same either way tho, on a home scale you likely do not have the equipment to use those things. Also it's not an orientation issue, you are meant to be able to see the patty form, otherwise the whole thing would be useless lol

[@gabestory1214]

The burger patty maker is definitely supposed to be used with a sausage stuffer if you’re using already minced meat and a grinder if you’re using chunks of meat

[@Little_Momma_1]

This one confused me a bit...why would you put (already) minced beef through a grinder (mincer) again? I'm thinking if they had put strips of meat through the grinder they may have had a better output? I think this one needs a redo... If nothing else I'm curious if the outcome would have been different. 😬

[@gabestory1214]

@@Little_Momma_1 that’s what I was thinking I would love to see that revisited. Something like that would be awesome for a family BBQ

[@ChandlerTC]

I think it would have worked better if they didn't put the grinding plate in, since the meat was already ground.

[@Goldulf]

Even without the grinding plate - the pressure needed is build up by the snail gear (don't now the proper English term for Schneckengewinde) transporting the chunks of beef forward. Minced meat just moves aside and the only pressure there is Ben plunging.. either use chunks of meat or a sausage filler.

That hot dog maker is a staple on any social event in Czech republic! You have to cut the tip of the bun so it's not squished. Then you squeeze ketchup or mustard into the bun and put the sausage in. And some ketchup/mustard on top. Sorted.

[@faollin260]

I was about to write exactly that. When I saw it, it brought back so many memories of eating them as a child. I haven’t seen them used as much nowadays.

[@Yenneffer]

Yeah the point is you can put the condiments inside and it's all contained in the bun so it's not messy to eat! But you also need the right rohlik for it. :)

[@beth12svist]

Also their... skewers...?... here are pretty blunt. I think I've only ever seen ones with a pointy end!

[@RealDarkBlade]

This. One of my first hot dogs as a kid was from a machine like that in a shop. The buns are normally not what you'd have in UK as hotdog buns but rather more towards a French baguette style. The guy at the shop would trim off one of the end, then push it on the "skewer" (they were also more conical than round at the top), and once all ready, the condiments were squirted into the channel created, and when the hotdog went in, it would cover itself and the space was being reduced inside

[@enisra_bowman]

So the Lazy Susan is actually something amazing for my family as we still get around a large rectangle table during the holidays and have a hard enough time with passing plates. Some of us have disabilities or are to young that make it hard to lift heavy hot plates and it becomes chaos to let everyone get stuff on the plates. This is the type of thing I been talking about my parents in figuring out making or getting for such things. We couldn't get that one as its way to expensive, but something like it would work out great. I think it really depends on the type of family you have, if you actually sit down around a large table or if you are the type that much and walk around.

[@HenryLoenwind]

Yeah. At that price point you're better off getting wide-gauge model train rails and the cheapest flatbed model cars you can find.

There used to be a hot dog seller in Winchester who used a giant version of this gadget. The sausages were put in baguettes and the warmers made the hole in the middle and warmed up the buns. The sauces were squirted into the hole and the sausage was moved up and down in the hole a few times to smear the sauces all over. They were absolutely delicious. I can see the gadget working with baguette rolls.

[@GreatDane933]

That's a very normal way of serving hotdogs in Denmark. We call the french hotdogs (because of the baguette). They are much easier to eat than normal hotdogs. you can buy the baguettes with holes in any grocery store in Denmark.

The burger patty maker will work much better with ungrounded beef. The unground meat pulls itself in and makes it work. The ground meat doesn’t get pulled in, you have to push it mainly. On top of that it’s getting doubly ground.

[@MrNeosantana]

They definitely misused that one. I call for a retry

[@HenryLoenwind]

I wouldn't think so. You'd just end up with an uneven distribution of meat and fat. Using a sausage stuffer is the right way to go, that gives you way better control.

[@epowell4211]

I recently got a freeze dryer specifically for making meat snacks, and that meat slicer would make a great gift for me! I imagine someone who makes a lot of jerky would find it helpful as well. Drawbacks: the price vs. the usefulness. If it was under $20USD, that would be reasonable for the small amount of meat you can process at a time - just fine for one meal/ home use. At that price, I'd expect it to process a lot more meat at once, save a lot of time, and be useful for home business.

[@sunshine5658]

In a lot of Asian restaurants that host big parties, they have round tables that can seat 10-12 people. They have a round circular disk in the middle where you can spin and you just put dishes on top, it can fit 8-12 dishes, or more, depending on the size. It is built into the table often times.

My extended family always talks about a gadget like that when we had big dinners. But in that format... it's a bit naff. Wouldn't want that on the Christmas dinner table. Imagine nicely treated wooden rails, and plates with a nice assortment of differently coloured heat proof matts you could swap in and out to suit any occasion. Granted, a wood/metal construction would cost an arm and a leg, but at that point you're targeting a luxury market, and building an almost heirloom type of dining equipment.

You take a Bockwurst (basically like a thicker version of a hot dog) and heat it. Meanwhile you take a longish bun and put it on a heating cylinder. When the bun and the Bockwurst are warm, you either put ketchup in the bun and put the Bockwurst inside or you coat the bockwurst in the ketchup and then put it in the bun.

It's not sturdy or big enough to handle things like pots-- something like this WOULD be useful in that instance, if it weren't so... flimsy? Dunno.

[@sirBrouwer]

I think that for the cost of it. you could just ask someone to make a actual bespoke version for your table and it would still be cheaper. in the end all you need are two rails and a card on top that can pull warm pots. I am not really good with tools but even I could think of one if I got the budget to do so.

[@nicfab1]

​​@@sirBrouwernope, you are way underestimating what bespoke woodwork costs. Would probably be in the 200-500 range depending on how fancy you want it. For comparison, an IKEA table costs a few hundred, a bespoke woodwork table of the same size costs thousands

[@sirBrouwer]

@@nicfab1 I am not talking a table. Just ether buy a cheap model train track. or make something your self. You only need two rails and something to keep the tracks in place. get yourself some wheels and a board to mount said wheels. link said boards and you have a train. you could even just buy a cheap model train aimed at children and rese that. All it needs to be able is carry plates with food.

[@nicfab1]

@@sirBrouwer no I know, the table thing was just for price comparison. And for the 500 figure I was thinking of a simple spinning plate. A wooden engineered rail system is going to be even more expensive. Sure you could DIY some crude wobbly thing for 100 probably, but a professional creating a bespoke solution for you wouldn't, they'd want it smooth running and all polished up and nice so it doesn't reflect badly on their name. It'll be expensive.

I'd love you to re-review the soup maker! I use mine all the time and they are fab! It's on right now cooking tomato soup. I don't think you gave it the test it deserved previously. It's such a handy piece of kit. Love you guys!

Has Barry been practicing his knife juggling again ?! Some funky arm injuries there !

[@Michelle-1]

It's kind of gross, i'm surprised they did this.

[@Tiiik-jp5ch]

I feel like the question y'all missed with the meat slicer was "how long will those blades last" and/or "can they be sharpened"? It looks great brand new out of the box but it can't have a very long shelf life--think of how long razor blades stay sharp!

[@karolinaslavikova]

The hot dog maker is my childhood 🥹 the thingy for bun makes the inside crispy, so the bun doesn’t get soggy and mushy. The condiment goes inside BEFORE the sausage (you also use circle motion so the condiment is evenly spread). FOR PUTTING THE BUN ON YOU SHOULD USE ROTATING MOTION. YOU ROTATE THE BUN AROUND THE HOT PIPE AFTER CUTTING OFF THE TIP OF THE BUN 5:19

[@MrChristianCain]

in switzerland that is the form of hot dog I most often see and I had a bit of a chuckle at them struggling with the machine xD

[@battelangel]

Let's be honest though, they should be pointy and not rounded

[@lordmuhehe4605]

Same in Czechia, it's done with these thin and long bread rolls, that aren't as soft and fluffy as regular hotdog buns, but more chewy and bready.

[@Jag...]

Here in Sweden we call it "French hotdogs". Don't know how French it really is 😂

[@TheCatWitch63]

18:29 You’re both mistaken. We do a lot of family style dinners at my house, like hot pots or taquizas, where we would greatly benefit from having that lazy Susan. Imagine you don’t need to pass the salsas, pickled onions, etc, but your guests just use the lazy Susan to reach whatever they want on their tacos or soup. I have two friends that own a real lazy Susan table and it’s very easy to enjoy these communal meals. On the other hand, my dining table is rectangular, and this adaptable lazy Susan would be perfect for my needs, while a round one wouldn’t work.

[@yadiracamacho499]

When I was a kid, there was a place that sold what they called "German hotdogs" that heated the bread with a similar contraption. But they used French bread buns, not fluffy ones. Filled with a mayo sauce in Venezuela we call "German sauce," similar to tartar sauce, and a Frankfurt sausage. It was delicious, and meant to be eaten in place, in front of the bar with all the condiments. Like eating empanadas, you add condiments, take a bite, add more stuff....

[@lukeyguyy]

I need some background on Jamie's thought process here. "You know what would be a great place to shop for the next gadgets video? The chemists!" That's a bit of a stretch even for him.

[@BioYuGi]

I don't feel like it's that much of a stretch. Maybe it's different in the UK but in the us, pharmacies are well known for having a load of junk. There will be an entire aisle just full of stuff that you would see on infomercial channels

[@theritchie2173]

@@BioYuGi There used to be a huge Boots in Edinburgh which sold all kinds of electrical stuff. Maybe there still is, haven't been there for 20 years but I have a weirdly strong picture of it in my head - pretty sure it was on multiple storeys too.

We had something similar to the first gadget at a restaurant where we were serving 100+ beef tartares a night and it came in handy

[@SweetAccessibility]

Ben got too excited 😆 “it’s like a train set!” Maybe the gadget Kitchen Mama Can Opener? I think it looks fun to try it out!

[@Vintage_Belle]

I have that can opener. It works really well! However on very small cans it can sometimes not work.

[@huggledemon32]

Barry practically having a conniption at the idea of the hotdog bun spike was hilarious!- it’s like the world suddenly didn’t make sense to him anymore!🤷‍♀️😳😂

[@GamingHole]

In my country(Denmark) we have something called "French Hotdog" which is basically a piece of cylindrical bread with a sausage shaped hole. You pour your condements in the rim of the hole before inserting the sausage. It's a great street snack as it has no mess compared to a regular hotdog, and it's easy to eat.

[@ghc7400]

And it is more of a crispy baguette style of bread. Not the soft bread they are abusing.

[@anyaakovalchuk]

Ahh I love French hot dogs! Wonderful when road tripping around mainland Europe, great to eat in a car.

[@ghc7400]

@anyaakovalchuk nice and portable and usually not as messy as a regular hotdog.

[@Vintage_Belle]

I like that! I hate messy food so that sounds like a great idea. I'll have to try and make them or something

[@sanderrose4645]

Those hot dogs are a common item in any gas station here in Estonia as well. Think I've only had one experience with them that ended up with a bit off a mess since it had a hole in the side.

This hot-dog maker is for another kind of buns, i think its called french hot-dog. those hotdogs are very popular in Poland, at gas stations and at convince stores(zabka-you can find it everywhere in PL). It's better form od hotdog because it easier to eat on the go. And you can buy those buns in almost every grocery store

Ben's screaming with the Lazy Susan! 😂 Both, when he had the train set association, and when he heard the price. 🤣
