That reminded me of an allegory I heard many times in scout camps. For some reason neither heaven nor hell had short spoons, and the people in hell starved because they kept spilling the soup on themselves, but the people in heaven were smart and fed each other. I always thought that was a silly allegory, you could just hold the spoon closer to the bowl part. It would be more stable that way too.

[@glynnL]

I have one and I like it because I don’t get orange peel stuck under my nails. I use the curved part to help pull the peel off after slicing vertically (parallel to the segments). You bring up such a good point. Some of the gadgets aren’t easier than the conventional way for most users, but they allow other people to do something they would otherwise need help with, or it enables them to do the job safer, easier, or faster.

[@Tunanunaa]

While the orange one may seem useless to us, I think it’s important to keep in mind that a large target audience for gadgets like these is the elderly and people with disabilities. There are people who may struggle to peel oranges due to weakness or limited mobility in their hands, and something like the orange ring could be a good fix to that. Plus you can take it with you, unlike a knife in most situations

[@Birdbike719]

The orange cutter wings can be used to run between the orange and the peel as well

[@ari913]

absolutely! even if you just have really short nails

[@ouchyyan]

We have tons of them at home because they are great at peeling mandarin oranges! They peel the fruit without splashing juices everywhere. Great for kids aswell 👏

[@tobe3940]

Wait what??!?!?! I thought gadgets were only meant to speed things up and make tasks easier. Never heard anywhere where they're introduced as "this device is for the elderly and disabled people!!!". I heard only a few of them marketing themselves for kids who can't use their hands skillfully or carefully yet like the "onigiri-maker" in Japan but never for the ones you claimed.

[@TheShiningDiamond]

@@tobe3940 most easy to use gadgets ARE for that demographic, but if the market only focused towards them they wouldn't be enough to sustain that business. By marketing as a quick and easy to use tool all around you avoid the stigma and price jump of making disabled gadgets a scarcity. So buy that gadget! Its fun and helps normalize having that kind of stuff around :)

That fry cutter is actually the same style most restaurant/fry trucks use. That model was probably designed for home use and has been dulled due to lots of use/time, it's also typically put vertically on a wall so you pull it down like a lever rather than back so gravity can assist then the potatoes fall into a bucket underneath. Just a fun fact lol!

[@enderboy3997]

That's interesting! I've only ever seen one before (in a Masterchef video) and it looked much larger, I didn't realize they were usually mounted on a wall. Hope to get one for myself!

[@kylemunley]

I was going to say the same thing. That is identical to the vegetable "chopper" I used as a teenager while working at Little Caesar's Pizza. We used them to chop onions (and green peppers, if I remember correctly, though I've forgotten how we accomplished this after de-coring them). That one was wall-mounted, but otherwise identical. Fun to see it here. :-)

[@MokurenAwakened]

I've used a wall mounted one, they are really cool if you need to make big batches in small time

[@redrackham6812]

It would probably work a lot better if the blades were sharpened; it might need some lubricating as well.

[@degueloface]

I immediately recognized it as a smaller version of what they us at In'Out, and wondered if they would figure out it was meant to be vertical. Damn now I want In'n'Out.

Definitely works great in the microwave, especially for steaming frozen veggies, covering pans, & then storing the food afterwards without finding/fussing with a lid! I think Charles Viancin is the brand I have & it’s pretty- looks like a flower. The center has a heavier silicone molded shape which ensures the lid is weighted down appropriately 👍🏻

[@tobe3940]

Me neither. It looked like there were some tiny spots open, that's why I thought it can't be sealed. Also another thing to consider though, silicon seems to change over a short time so I wonder for how long it'd do its job well.

[@brokenbraingoth6325]

I used to Hull my strawberries by pushing a simple straw up the inside, through the middle so as it emerged out of the top, It took all the stalk and leaves cleanly, plus any creepy crawlies that might have hung on for grim death as I washed them; I can't do it anymore because Multiple Sclerosis has robbed me of the use of most of my left side, including my hand and it's definitely a 2 handed skill I swear it really does wh work, though.and, you don't lose almost the whole top half of your strawberry like you do when you lop the whole top off with a knife; plus, it's quite impressive to do in front of other people, 'cos you wind up with cylinder of strawberry and a verticle tunnel through your fruit!

The orange peeler isn't necessarily meant to let you peel an orange more quickly, but to let you do it more easily; they're two different things. I've always had a problem with biting my nails, and therefore find it very difficult to peel oranges completely by hand, such as if I take one to work with me. This peeler would come in very hand then, since I can't carry a knife around with me for peeling oranges. Same applies for children who obviously shouldn't be given sharp knives as a general rule, and also maybe people who have disabilities that affect things like motor control, making the peeler a much safer and hassle-free option, even if it might take a little bit longer. It's usually a matter of perspective when you're looking at whether something is useful or not; what seems unnecessary or like a hindrance to you may actually be incredibly helpful to someone else.

[@christinavaldez6737]

Try using a spoon. It can tear the peel a little and then works really well for separating the peel from the flesh.

[@FerintoshFarmsPhotography]

Just cut the orange on both sides with a knife and it'll all peel off in one piece

That's a good point. I remember in another gadget testing video by another channel, the gadget engineer did every test a second time with oil on his hands to simulate someone who had poor grip control and for that scenario I think the peeler would have worked because even someone who is very old or very young could use it safely.

my family has an orange peeler like that, it's made to look like a snail. i find it really helpful personally, as i struggle peeling fruit with just my fingers because of the feeling on my skin. it also makes me really happy when i can take the peel off in two pieces instead of a thousand. :)) i think this gadget is rather for people who just can't peel oranges well, rather than people who only wanna be faster. also we have a fork like that and i always thought its a fun gadget rather than something that's supposed to be actually helpful lol

I feel so called out 😂 my family uses a more rustic version of the extender fork for roasting marshmallows (but it has a rubber grip to prevent burns), I have the strawberry slicer because it’s less likely my students will cut themselves on it, I have silicone bowl covers (but they don’t have the stupid handle on them and have a lip to hold it more securely), I also have several of those orange peelers at my school to help my younger students peel their oranges quickly 😂 I find them all super useful too.

[@JuniorAmazon]

some of these items wouldn't be amazingly useful or life altering for grown ups or abled folks but I imagine something like that orange peeler would be endlessly helpful for someone without the motor skills or strength to be able to break through an orange skin on their own. Honestly that's why a lot of the "useless" gadgets you see around exist!

I'm allergic to just the white parts. I don't consider a whole orange to be food and but I like orange juice. Unfortunately, if I get the wrong orange juice, I'm doubled over in pain for hours.

[@2Ten1Ryu]

We had one of these at home, too, but is was more like a pen, not like a ring to put on your finger. I think it's great if you have small children and want to teach them how to peel an orange without having to hand them an actual knife. On the tip there is a shape like a triangle that points down. It's just sharp enough to peel the orange, so you're not likely to get hurt using it.

[@raevin964]

Where I live, the extendable fork was super common everywhere and advertised for use at the camp fire. I remember using one to roast marshmallows by the fire.

[@jaimebeeep9586]

My dad has one of those for camping, and it makes sense that way. I have seen advertisement for extending utensiles described as pranking friends and stealing food though.

This is what I came here to say. Perhaps they should read instructions so they know what they are for.

A comment to increase engagement: Ann, I love watching your videos because they remind me that scientists don’t need to be cold or clinical. We’re allowed to have passions, and having our analytical training leak into them leads us to some incredible places.

[@Lucy-io7pt]

I love the circle cuter one. As someone who has difficulties with my hands (stiff joints and whatnot) I find it painful to use a lot of force and something like that would make it so easy. I can imagine it's even more useful for the elderly and disabled and super fun for little kids. I watch a lot of sorted gadget videos and they are often like nahh it's not great, but forget to think about less able bodied people. Thank you for keeping an open mind about these. Also this format is super cute and fun!

[@kimjones764]

The orange cutter ring is intended for use by children who may not have the strength or dexterity to open oranges. It actually really works really well here in Japan on Japanese mikans. I use one when peeling oranges to make marmalade because I keep my nails short and it's easier and fast than fingers for me, as well as less risk of accidentally stabbing an orange.

[@georgianaharris4865]
