Do These 10 Products Still Hold Up? (Update 51)

I’d like to suggest that you offer the shaved ice maker to a children’s hospital or shelter. It would be a fun way for them to give kids a treat. Multiple blocks could be made ahead of time and they could go to town.

[@loriki8766]

If the cutting board isn't slightly softer than the knife then it will dull the blade. So it's expected that cutting boards will scratch. They are to protect your knife blades and the surface of the counter.

[@Timmycoo]

Yeah people always worry that it's "harboring disease" with scratches and my thoughts are "how bad are you at washing?" lol

I always check your reviews before I buy a gadget for my sister. She's a good cook and loves puttering in the kitchen. She'll probably never know how many times your reviews have saved me from buying her some junky stuff!

[@turtlecatpurrz]

It feels like a number of these products work well, but don’t meet your personal needs. That’s pretty reasonable, but I appreciate how you review things that may be niche. Especially as a number of these have accessibility implications. You are my favorite gadget reviewer and I have both purchased and avoided a number of things because of your reviews. I appreciate your work.

[@freethebirds3578]

I like the updates, but I'm always amazed that it's been a year since the original. It can't have been a year already!

[@bradasstv]

These are always some of my favorite videos to look forward to. I often put stuff in my amazon cart and forget about them and the updates help me decide if they are worth getting or not! Thanks James!

[@Suebe1962]

I purchased the ziploc bag holder in 2 sizes. I have yet to use them, but I still think they will help me out when I make too much food. Putting food into freezer bags will be so much easier than before, when I didn't have them. Thanks for the video, James!

[@shorttimer874]

If you have a pan of water handy after you fill them, submerge with the zipper above the water then zip. The water pushes all the air out, same effect as a vacuum sealed bag. Learned this when I first started out with sous vide cooking.

I must have missed a couple of reviews I don't remember some of these. Which is rare, I've been watching you for a long time. You're the only reviewer I've ever followed, I think because of your genuine manner. I've never bought anything you've reviewed, I just like watching them. I always forget to hit the like button, so I'll remember it this time. I do always like them though. Cheers.

That cutting board set would indeed be very cool if they cut the BS UV/drying functions. I have knives and some cheap plastic sheets basically, but having a little set in one spot with multiple boards would be convenient.

[@judybethclark9431]

Going to put my two cents in. . . I love your channel and watch it all the time. BUT - please please please put graters, slicers, etc on something solid to 6:58 demonstrate. Some of them might be less awkward if you have enough leverage. None the less, kerp up the good work!

[@sandybruce9092]

Yes, they should be propped in a board, etc. and not held up in the air! That’s probably why you weren’t successful.I’m still going back to my V-Slicer I’ve had for probably 35 years or so!

[@autumnboffen5598]

Thank you. The whole time I was watching, I kept wondering why he was holding it so awkwardly. Some people are just really terrible with kitchen utensils, but he seems like he should know better.

[@new0news]

thank you for saying this I had to scroll down because I was getting irritated by how he was using it. I think the multi slicer mightve worked a wee bit better if he had actually set it down on a cutting board and not a slippery plate or holding it in the air.

The "smart" feature of the different cutting boards has to deal with "contamination". The smart feature takes the decision making out of the equation of which board to use for which ingredient, in particular when cutting chicken and meats; it keeps all ingredients in their own, separate and distinct lanes... or cutting boards to prevent contaminating each other. : )

[@RealSamsonKing]

The pump top [or whatever it was] for the soda can... I mean, it might be better than nothing. But, your drinks are fizzy because of carbonation, not regular air.

[@louise3993]

[@SomeTheorist9090]

That mandoline portion made me feel unsafe. I don't know if the instructions said to hold it in the air or not, but most of them have feet on the far end that are meant to placed on a cutting board or other sturdy surface. Using it in the air is likely to have you add extra protein to a dish.

[@snozzberry1916]

Watching you use that grater at around 4:00 is so frustrating. Just put the other end on the table or plate for leverage, don't hover over a plate!!

[@Oops-IMeantToDoThat]

You have to puncture the yolk (pin or tootpick) membrane before microwaving. Otherwise, the membrane is tough enough to contain a lot of heat - and explodes. Only exception is scrambled (no membrane)

[@beardlessodin945]

The Boneyard must be pretty large at this point! How much of a garage or barn does it occupy I wonder? I’d love to go through it if James made it into a garage sale to end all garage sales! Even a video of it would be cool to see.

[@nationalist818]

Pro tip I live on the beach, best way to keep sand from sticking to towel is wash it with lots of fabric softer, horrid for drying off but sand wont stick.

[@mattkrause6264]

I’d love to see 3 or 5 year updates on products you still use

[@AschenDog]

The grab and pour seems more useful for kids or accessability needs rather than an average user. Shaved ice- yeah it was loud, but the issue I normally see from machines like that, especially made for kids, is that the parts and motor just aren't strong enough for shaving ice. So the sound of a big motor was a good sign. Zip quicker- I use a drinking glass. And even if you were to go out and buy one specifically for use with plastic bags, it's significantly cheaper than the product shown. Just line the drinking glass like a little trash can, and if you roll down the zipper you can even keep it clean for sealing.

Benefit of the beach powder for sand zinc oxide can aid with sun protection (not necessarily a sun screen but it is an ingredient in it that is used for sun protection.) it is also 1 of the ingredients that does not harm reefs and oceanic life. (oxybenzone and octinoxate are toxic to reef.)

[@neilouellette3004]

The 2nd poacher test?? No wonder it exploded. 1:58 in the microwave is way too long. 50-60 seconds in the microwave is more than enough!

[@shannonwelch4014]

The white thing that went over the bottle would be good for ppl with dexterity problems. I have one that you don't have to squeeze together and it's good for kids pouring soda etc

[@AschenDog]

Doesn't really matter if you brace it against the plate, the fact that the slicer can move and wobble makes the potential for injury way higher than a normal mandolin slicer or a box grater. Single sheet slicers like that are more for tiny things, like zest or a bit of hard cheese. Anything larger than that really needs more support.

[@jbaumgart794]

I really like these types of videos where you go back and talk about how the products held up over time But in my opinion you could cut the original review shorter and talk more about your experience with the product in the meantime

[@Jeroen_a]

@16:31 Yes, but remember you live in a place that get's A LOT of sun.... most of these lights have a small battery and they can easily overload the battery if it keeps on charging the battery when it's already completely full also you might overheat the battery just by the ambient temperatures inside the solar box.

[@AndyLundell]

Battery protection chips cost about $0.25. If the batteries are over-charging because they went cheap and didn't include the protection chip, then that's a total fail as far as I'm concerned. There's no excuse for manufacturing e-waste when the cost of doing it properly would have been pocket change.

[@Jeroen_a]

@@AndyLundellBut you can not stop it from trying to charge, the energy must go some where and overheating batteries by ambient temperature neither..

[@AndyLundell]

@@Jeroen_a Yes you can. That's what charge protection circuits do. They disconnect the battery from the power-source when the battery is fully charged.
