HAUL!! JAPANESE COOKING GADGETS!! | (From Japan!)

[@joy4ki]

It's great to see Japanese culture shared.The bowl is called surubachi & is great for grinding sesame seeds, herbs & tofu etc to make sauces, dressings or side dishes. The pancake round is obayaki, obakoyaki in some places but there are other names. The fish shape taiyaki, you have is made from aluminum so be careful not to scratch it. The metal thing with holes is a steamer but there are discs (wood, metal or silicone) sometimes called futa buta, that are put on to keep ingredients submerged or some use rounds of wax paper. Cute bento art has many books, gadgets & web pages dedicated to it.

It’s been 7 years when you created this video yet only now, Sep 2024, it shows up in my feed. And I’m so glad! This was fun!

‘Japanese’ Alphabet & ‘American’ alphabet, love it 😅 Thanks for the video of your haul & the giggle 😉

[@NormyTres]

Ooh, that tofu stamping gadget has given me an idea! I have some egg moulds for shaping eggs for bento boxes that I haven't been using since I went vegan - I'm going to see if they work with tofu! I love gadgets - what a great haul!

6:15 is a pan oiler. It's used to apply oil to the pan. 8:20. Is a vegetable steamer.

[@jillhbaudhaan]

Nice video. Btw, the metal thing with legs is for steaming vegetables. My mom has one and she uses in a regular pot and it keeps the food out of the water.

[@tovemagnussen4423]

Got one with adjustable sides (looks like a flower), not only for vegetables, but also steaming fish. Or a mix with everything.... Really good if you don't want fat food... or you are on a diet...

[@michelesoto5919]

Love it!! Maybe they’ll have some of this at EPCOT…?

[@gordonspicer]

I visited this street in 2019. Nothing impressive to look at, but for kitchen gaget freaks it is truley an "aladdin's Cave". It was really quite an experiences and I returned twice before leaving having bought lots of buts & pieces. The Japanese knives are terribly expensive !

[@cherrycelzo601]

The white one with yarn look in it is use for oil. They use it to spred oil just like the brush.

[@nikushim6665]

Ya that looks like a canning/steaming rack, the lid you're actually looking for is called a otoshibuta or drop lid, traditionally they were made of wood but you can find adjustable metal ones all over the place for like 10 bucks or less.

Would you be willing to make a video of your top kitchen gadgets, tools, and appliances you use and recommend?

[@gordonwoper5003]

I particularly like the not expensive plastic slicers of various sizes. These are simple graters of various sizes usually with a decent blade and often made in Japan. These s slicers not found in Europe and at such prices. There are variations for very fine Japanese style slicing I picked mine up at Daiso the 108 Yen shops, other discount shops and department stores. They make nice gift and are very useful. I also like the graters the lady referred to. Hers is the more expensive hand chisseled version which come again in several sizes. I like the cheaper alumimium versions in different shapes which I use to grate garlic. The 100 yen shops also sell some excellent graters;

[@gordonwoper5003]

forgot to include the excellent thick quality A3 size plastic bags sold by 3 which are great for packing/storing pullovers etc. They cannot easily be found in Europe. I buy lots. There is not only the Daiso chain. Others have different goods on offer.

[@SunnyChampagne]

It would have been great if you would have given a demonstration. What is the name of the Japanese tool used to oil / season pans? Thank you

[@carolyncastillo05]

Hi. How do you packed the ceramics in your checked in luggage? do the seller provide the sealing and securing the package? Thank you in advance for answering!!

[@Mike-cp5ch]

I love different cultures, when i retire i plan to spend a good amount of time in Asian countries especially in the provinces or villages...Where the food is definately different from what we have....

[@Mike-cp5ch]

East Meets Kitchen yes definitely love cooking and I will work on my leg muscles but I'm short so I have a low center of gravity...that works for me....

[@maryyarwood4691]

For for fish pancake pan. To get an even heat you need to go to Walmart or Dollar store and purchase a heat diffuser pan. It has holes that spreads the heat.

[@marypoppins123]

Just subscribed as your video is super informative and i love to eat as I'm a foodie as well😁

[@junyap2736]

Hi I think that's not a lid. I have one at home. It's a steam rack for small pot.

[@TheCynicalDude_]

At 07:51 you're talking about that thing that you say should have a weight put on it. Dingus, that's a steam insert. You put it on the bottom of the pan with the LEGS FACE DOWN, with water, and put food on top of it with the lid on top of the pan... for steaming things.

[@patty-cf7jj]

I thought that perforated metal thing is something you put on a stove burner to diffuse the heat. I had to buy one to use under my pressure cooker so the heat wasn't so concentrated. Does that make sense?

[@geraldwalker6101]

patty 8873 I thought it was a steamer tray that you put in the bottom of a pot and the legs keep it clear of the water.

[@dereklam9649]

7:34 Its a steamer rack for pots

[@peachymanaangel]

I have a ginger grater like that and it is the best thing ever.

[@crystalsalton]

where did you get it? Where can I order one?

[@aiguesvives30]

Latin alphabet, no américain alphabet 😉, great video 👍

[@MantraAndMeditationRNkitchen]

Wow. How many books behind you. Admired.

[@patty-cf7jj]

Off topic a bit, but have you watched Terrace House on Netflix? I'm fascinated by how different the dating culture is in Japan. But of course I watched because all the food they would eat looked amazing! I would watch and drool!

[@sanjayb0886]

Not sure what's so uncomfortable about watching 2 complete strangers meet.. you've probably met a few I'd imagine.

[@donnamessing-tenenblatt973]

That mystery item looks like a steamer

I am amateur but I like learning as much as I can...

[@foodparadise5792]

Show us some cookwares from Japan for real cooks please

[@foodparadise5792]

LOL thanks

[@fordhouse8b]

The heavier perforated lid your saw was probably a drop lid. Google adjustable stainless steel drop lid, or go to www.mtckitchen.com/adjustable-stainless-steel-drop-lid/

[@ThePrankDudes]

Weird and unrelated question, but what made you want to be a vegan?

[@ThePrankDudes]

East Meets Kitchen oh great I'll be looking out for that. Im interested to find out.
