[@trixiebeldon579]

The pickle fork is a great idea. Convenient, easy way to deter people from sticking their unwashed fingers in the pickle jar. Eating from the fork defeats the 🦠 germ-free purpose, and it’s very sharp. Bowl Hugger is perfect I frequently use a flat potholder under my hot Corelle bowl when I lunch on the couch with a good movie .

[@Anna-ss4sf]

That adjustable strainer thing really works on pots large and small…worth every cent!

[@Chumpacabra]

Great content as usual James, but I would love to see how the fridge fork performs when there’s only 3-4 pickles left in the big jar. Will it reach all the way in and will it still be as easy to spear the pickles when they’ve got room to escape? etc. Maybe something for your follow-up video. Thanks!

I've been using an old fondue fork for years. It's quite long and reaches the bottom easily.

I have a homemade version of the bowl hugger. My mom made a quilted version from a template, and it works great. The materials are different, but I can say that the form that those are made in really does work well for the intended purpose.

[@thumbsarehandy.]

I've had a few "bowl huggers" for years, but they're handmade and you get them at craft fairs, state fairs, and events like that where people sell their products. Probably have them on Etsy, but I've not looked. I love them! You can get any pattern you can think of since it uses basic fabric by the yard that you can get at a craft store. They are very popular with patterns of sports teams. I would highly recommend these over the weird Amazon ones. Especially since the ones I have appear to have higher sides and can work as a hotpad if you need to just grab something quick.

[@Donteatacowman]

Great idea!! Thanks

[@amak1131]

Agreed. My grandma made me a few as I like making ramen in the microwave with the big pyrex bowls and they work wonderfully.

[@Merrowsteel]

I was coming down here to make this exact comment! I got some handmade ones as a wedding present. Honestly, my husband and I use them literally every day. I think the Amazon ones looked a little weirdly shaped… the handmade ones we got are a little bigger too I think

[@Sarina_Dear]

I have a collection Grandma made us years ago for Christmas and they still work perfectly!

[@lindaschultz7253]

You can also crochet them with cotton yarn, there are patterns available on the internet. Only use cotton yarn though, acrylic yarn melts at the higher temperatures since it is plastic.

[@onecuet]

I was gifted something very similar to the bowl hugger. Same shape but its quilted. At first I didn't see it being useful. However, now I use it for hot bowls & for ice cream all the time. It helps to maintain the bowl temp either way. I don't see the point of the pickle fork. Just use a reg fork. I keep white towels about the same size as the bamboo towels. I wash & bleach them as necessary. I use a specific tea towel for drying dishes. I only use a paper towel as a occas napkin.

[@kyleeisenhauer5501]

I haven't used any of those but that "flip it" is something I think I'll take a look at buying. Pump tops are convenient when bottles are full but when you get down to that last bit, they're useless.

Thought you might like to know that over time, even if you don't do it regularly, dumping boiling water down your drains, loosens the pvc glue and can cause leaks. Always run cold water when dumping and dump slowly. Because when your house was built, those plumbers were NOT using a high heat resistant glue. That is a different glue.

I have a store brand of bamboo towels. I wash them in a mesh bag, with the super hot cycle that I do all my dish cloths and dish towels on. They shrank a fair bit, and have a softer, more absorbent. I love them for polishing my black stove and microwave. Although bamboo is a quick, easy growing plant, turning bamboo into viscose fabric, is not the greatest for the environment. Neither is cotton though.

[@animula6908]

I’m not sure there really is a way for use to manufacture fabrics that is going to be better for the environment than if we didn’t manufacture fabric at all, but I’m a Christian, so I just philosophize that that’s probably why the first thing we did after we fell from grace was start wearing clothes. Even in no Christian faiths it’s similar. The Greeks talked about us gaining access to fire, which is in modern terms just releasing carbon by combustion. But we still use that to keep ourselves from freezing or sweating to death. Towels are kind of a heavy topic, huh😵‍💫

[@ItsJustLisa]

I think those bowl huggers would be great for serving bowls at meal time. Dump those freshly microwaved/steamed veggies or the stir fry you just made into a serving bowl and they get hot. Those huggers would protect your hands getting them to the table and then protect the table, hence acting as a trivet. As for that Fridge Fork, I’m going to order one right now! My husband LOVES baby dill pickles and he’s always digging in the jar with his fingers. We need that item now!

[@alwkw3783]

I have a fridge fork. It's pretty nifty especially for a half full or nearly empty jar. I tend not to hang on to gadgets I don't like but I keep this one around.

We have been using the flip it for years. Love it. No more having to try and dig out lotion..

[@metaspherz]

My favorite two gadgets are the extra-long (typically 11" - 13") hooks and tweezers. Both are great values and they are great for getting food out of jars and also great for flipping food in pans, on sheets, or on the grill. Much easier to use than forks, spoons, tongs, or spatulas. Need to flip burgers or remove waffles from the waffle iron? Use the tweezers. Need to extract hot toast or bagels from a toaster, turn over chicken legs, thighs, and breasts? Use the hook. Need to remove pickles from a tall jar (whole or sliced) then use the hook or tweezers as you deem fit. I use the extra-long tweezers when I make scrambled eggs too. The tweezers are handy to twirl the eggs while they cook and then lift them out of the pan with ease.

[@NinjAsylum]

I think they meant the 'entire' roll is smaller than they expected. Not the individual sheets. They're about 1/2 the size of a regular roll of paper towels.

We have two of that adjustable strainer, one is the same model you reviewed and the other is presumably an earlier version as it looks like the images on the Amazon link. The style you reviewed drains better due to more and larger slots at the edge. It does have effective limits about how much pasta; e.g. we sometimes make a large amount of torelloni so there will be leftovers and the pasta can tumble over the top when affixed to the stock pot if I'm not careful. It's a trade-off but taking up so little room in the dishwasher and cabinets is nice.

I don't know if this applies to the Flip It but I've had bottles that even though they have the type of lid that lets you store the bottle upside down I still can't get everything out. I found another item on Amazon, the name escapes me, that are 2 funnels that are hooked together so that the wide part of each funnel face one another. This allows you to clip your almost empty bottle suspended above the new bottle. The contents of the old bottle then drain into the new bottle. Some products, because they are thick, may take some time to completely drain. And I haven't tried it on a lot of different bottles but the ones I did try it on really worked well. I imagine some bottles, because of size, may become unbalanced but I don't know this for a fact.

A plastic item used for a decade, is more environmentally friendly then any biodegradable item used for a year. It takes energy to produce a product and it always creates waste. This product is made to be disposable. 8+ years of use from them is a mighty claim and if it lasts that long it gives microfiber clothes a run for there money...and is handily beat by my old t-shirt being turned into a rag after I can't wear it anymore.

i think the only pro it has, is that it's antibacterial, all those towels just have growths of bacteria, you'd have to put them in the washer with bleach often while this one you can just rinse without worrying about how much bacteria it has

[@johnhandcock3242]

@@andrewbobat This is why you buy white wash clothes and use bleach.

Great video as always. I'm going to try the bowl hugger and the flipit. Thanks for the review.

I’ve been using the bamboo towels for about eighteen months now. Bought a two pack. Only just used one of them. So a twin pack lasts three years! Saving a fortune on paper towels

[@nonelost1]

Clever idea! Though I would use one "flip-it" for food products and a separate flip-it for lotions and other non-edibles.

Fridge fork: just grab a normal fork and fork it . Bowl hugger: just use a normal potholder. Bamboo towels: inconvenient to store after 1st use and have to spend time cleaning it and will it degrade when thrown out? Uses water to clean so not good for water conservation. Flip it: how long do the gaskets last?

[@kenwaid8239]

not everybody wants to grab a regular fork that the pickle can slip right off and get pickle juice everywhere. The boel hugger the point is normal potholders don’t always work these are larger and shaped to wrap around the bottom and up the sides of the bowl and they are potholders as well. After The first use of the bamboo towels just drape them over the top of the towel holder or over like the pull out bar on the stove or fridge where you Drape a normal towel. Gaskets are silicon so as long as you don’t lose them, forever. your comments are dickish he’s reviewing these products and you can make your own mind up as to whether to buy them or not if you don’t wanna buy them then fucking don’t. don’t come in on his review being an asshole.

I just started watching your channel. I really like it ! Thank you for not blasting the music. The music is not too loud or annoying. Thanks again! I will keep watching.

I have my grandmother's old metal strainer that clamps on top of a pot, she had many old pots that had locking lids and accessories. I'm so shocked they seemed to fall by the wayside, and never remade

[@jsimbol71]

Awesome review! Everytime I binge watch your reviews I get yelled at by my wife because I end up buying some of the stuff you reviewed (cup cozy, collapsable stool, flip it, and the finger chopsticks are just some of the many) 🤣🤣🤣....thank you for the honest reviews 👍👍

[@havingalook2]

That flip it thing at the end was brilliant - the others were complete rubbish. Well done.

[@Lilliancooks]

Hint for the pot strainer...put it on the pot BEFORE the water boils. I have been using mine for about 2 years...I like it but can’t strain more than a pound of pasta. So it’s good if your not making more than a pound. It takes a lot longer to strain all the water, but it’s great because it takes up so little space in the cabinet AND in the dishwasher 👍

Mighty Bamboo towel vs. Regular paper towel price comparison I use the blue shop towels from Sam's. Can't beat them

[@fannyfreckle]

I LOVE my green side-pan strainer. I’ve had mine for 3 1/2 years and use it so much. I love hat it’s so easy to grab and easy to clean too.

[@kathyputman5160]

I use shop towels for reusability. One question, what brand of paper towel did you compare it with? Bounty works very well and it quite strong.

[@autobotrock4789]

You don't need a pickle fork. Look up pick-a-deli container. You dump your pickles in there and the handle lifts the pickles right out of the juice for you. But it's pretty big. Good for family size pickled foods.

[@RHinners1971]

I love the Flip it's. I've been using them for years!

[@madizzle90]

I’m interested in those bowl huggers. I cook soup/ meals in bowls in the microwave enough for those to be handy.

[@jonny555ive]

Great episode Brother, Awesome products. I'd use everyone of them. Thank you, you're doing a fantastic job for us all. 👍👍
