Japanese Food Tech for Single People

[@thegromlin6736]

Some of these gadgets may seem frivolous, but for disabled people like myself (and I imagine the elderly who aren’t as spry) these are game changers. Yea, you could use a pot on the stove, but if you’re a wheelchair user and it’s hard to use the stove, personal electric appliances like these give back some independence and makes it easier to cook for myself.

[@Sammy-forgetaboutit-Tony]

I live alone, these would save on electricity and cleanup. Considering how fast my bills rose this winter, it's almost magical...

[@garlickebagg]

THE GROMLIN O So Truuuuu. 🤔🤓👍🌻🌻🌻🐣🐤👍.

[@Menuki]

You have to remember that space is at a premium in Japanese cities. So having small appliances to be self sufficient is a lucrative market

[@jadsel]

So glad you mentioned this. I also get a lot of use out of small tabletop appliances for the same reason, and it does seem like some could be very handy for people dealing with other sets of challenges in the kitchen.

[@MissGroves]

Absolutely! That's why I clicked the video

[@kimmeipkm]

The mini 1 pot lunchbox is really useful for students living in dormitary! You can save washing space and plates and cook all dishes at the same time! It was my best friend during my college days

[@Cruznick06]

That's what I was thinking. I really wish it would have been available when I was in college.

[@ronagreenfield9545]

This is a nice change of pace from Costco products which are all designed for large families. In general, products designed for single people seem to be an overlooked and niche market.

[@Lucavious]

Costco currently has products that are good for single people, like the ramen bowls from Snapdragon, the curry pouches from Saffron Road, and the very useful Bibigo single sticky rice bowls.

[@betawolfhd]

Strange consider families are becoming a thing of the past

[@A-Wa]

true, being a single with not enough space on the countertop I need some of these here

[@betawolfhd]

@@someguy782 can't make tomorrow without a couple of kids. Think of the future purchases we'll need to sustain our unsustainable lifestyles!!! Gahgh

[@bipbop3121]

It can be hard to cook for 1. To save money and time you just cook up meals for two or four and fridge, freezer, then reheat or if applicable eat cold. The more days you cook ahead and store. You can save and meal plan for the month.

My wife was perusing the internet and came upon some "interesting" products. I noticed quite a few of them seemed geared towards single people, so I thought, "Hey, why not test some of them out!" What do you think of them?

[@Yesica1993]

Thanks for this. Finding kitchen tools for single people is difficult. Most things start at four servings. I don't need four. I just need one. Maybe two for leftovers. But I don't want to eat the same thing all week. And I hate wasting food because it's gone bad. The struggle is real. That multiple skewer thing looks like a nightmare to clean! The egg/toaster thing might be good. Less messy cooking the eggs that way. Though the design needs some work. I'd be burning myself constantly. And yeah, cooking and doing everything alone is sad. That's single life.

[@cyntogia]

I think the little grill would be the only one. I've a rice cooker, we eat a lot of rice, and I think it works fine and isn't much bigger than the small one. The grill looked great. I could and would make use of that. Even though I'm married now there are times I still eat alone and I think I could use that for several different meals. I love that I saw Tabasco sauce on the table. My family is from the region that is made, bottled, and shipped out.

[@shylady8711]

the cook time for eggs and rice are accurate. 6-10 mins for eggs, 30-45 mins for rice regardless of the equipment used.

[@theeggsquidzidboi7324]

the toaster thingy and grill looked the most convienient in my opinion. space efficient, not finicky and complicated (bar the egg pan) and overall user friendly

[@nibblitman]

Hopefully she isn’t trying to hint something to you.

[@cppham]

That butter knife is the MVP tool of this video. 😂

[@Wychwood]

I grinned when I saw the rotating yakitori cooker. I have its grandma in one of my kitchen cupboards. It was my mother's, and it's called a "Kabobit" by Wearever. It is from the 70's. It still works, and we use it quite often for kabob skewers and sausages/hot dogs. Pro tip: Take the end tips out of the bottom of the grill, skewer your meat and then put the end tips firmly on the skewer, then put the skewers into the machine and then put the enclosure on. If the end tips are on firmly enough, they won't come off the skewers until you remove them manually, and you won't have to play Yakitori Operation anymore! 🙂

As someone living in a small apartment in Japan with only one stove top, I can see how those electric cooking devices can be really handy serving as additional cooking stoves. And good alternatives to just microwaving everything!

[@aleks-33]

I thought about that as well. Small kitchens with tiny stove..

[@bjb0808]

Instant Pot is the way to go, that and a small rice cooker!

[@swing8]

I would think that finding the space to store all of these items would be a challenge in a small apartment?

[@Ta-da32]

The mini hotpot looks useful and fun, especially for younger cooks and handy for people with no access to kitchen facilities.

[@CherryJuli]

The toaster that also cooks eggs is actually kinda genius. Also, it saves energy since you don’t need to use a toaster AND your stove.

[@connieefurulee]

It does remind me of an easy bake oven I had as a child

[@jek__]

Could just use a normal toaster oven though and then you'd have more space and flexibility, put the egg in a small ramekin or similar container

[@Mhel2023]

My exes mom had one and it had a small coffee pot on it as well

[@timhartherz5652]

Who eats one (1) loaf of toast with 2 eggs though, think i rather stick with a toaster and an normal egg cooker for breakfast, it's not much bigger either. A few of the other appliances however seem useful under certain circumstances.

[@MSSmith1022]

I think the two-layer Bento Box Rice Cooker would be really good for college dorms for late-night meals when studying or when one is traveling and staying in hotels. I would like to see a handle included for lifting the separator from the rice. I liked the hot pot as a means of doing noodles or a soup and this is also something that might be very useful in a college dorm. The electric Hibachi would be really nice for a small apartment, not sure about using this in a college dorm room.

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

I think the electric pot you used to cook cheese fondue is the thing I would use most. Over a decade ago my friend had an electric "wok" (just a non stick pan in the shape of a wok) that was really convenient to cook one pot meals in. I would highly recommend something like that for people living in a dorm room or any situation where you might not have access to a cooker/stove. The only downside of my friend's electric wok was that you could not submerge it to wash it.

[@_kyt_]

I made all my meals in a rice cooker for a few years (eggs, sausage, even mac&cheese) and it wasn't so bad. Before rice cookers were popular in the US, apparently my mother did the same thing in college... with a coffee pot?! It was all she was allowed to have.

[@hollywebster6844]

Yes! I cooked a lot of meals in a 4-cup coffee maker! We also made grilled cheese sandwiches by wrapping the sandwich in foil and ironing it. 😅

[@michaelbruchas6663]

In college in the 1970s - there was no meal service Sunday nights. My friend Don used his popcorn maker on Sunday nights to make soup and pasta! This was before air popper popcorn makers.

[@silverbane8065]

I have a few items like this. A single person rice cooker that cooks up to 2 or 3 cups of rice. (tho it's not just for rice) Single portion deep fat fryer. Small size bread maker. Tabletop electric stew pot/frypan. Small size slow cooker. Every one of them, I managed to find in charity/thrift shops. Here in the UK we get stuff from a company called 'Coopers' that make single person electrical items, they sell them in a magazine that gets sent to our homes. If you are eating alone, or live alone, they are a bit more economical than using full size items.

[@rejn1420]

The tiny grill would work great for one person especially an old person. Because we got time to sit around and mess with stuff and it’s fun to cook alone it’s not sad at all. Through different stages of life what seems sad changes :-). Cooking small amounts can be difficult. Purchasing small amounts is even harder in the US. Example: a gallon of milk is 3.60 dollars and a quart is $2.70.

[@surlyogre1476]

...and for those that are metrically inclined (i.e. outside of the USA) there are four quarts in a gallon. So, a gallon of milk bought as a gallon is $3.60, but that same gallon bought as four quarts will cost $10.80. Domo arigato re jn. ;-)

[@CrankyOtter]

Especially in a pandemic, I’m not sharing air when I don’t have to, so eating for 1 is fine with me. The grill is the only multi-use item that isn’t easily found in multiple sizes (the kebab maker looks like a nightmare. Toss those cubes on this mini grill)

[@jayemover_16]

I'm definitely getting the individual rice cooker! I hate not-fresh rice, so being able to make it at will is wonderful! And the mini-grill looks so much more useful than trying to figure out how to grill something on the stove.

[@mdrumt]

"Kawaii" when that little oven came out. Love it!

[@Waywren]

You two are always adorable and I love watching you go, especially the re-enactions. And as a disabled person myself, I've got to agree with Gromlin; some of these might work well for me with my limited mobility. It's dangerous to cook on the stove sitting in my rollator, but I'd probably be okay with the pot. And if you have no cooking facilities at all, like in a dorm, then things like the egg toaster would be very handy, though I'd still go with a real, if small, rice cooker instead of the 'bento.' And as I thought, the upright spinning 'grill' didn't do too well, but the flat one didn't look too bad. For a combination of delight *and* practicality, I think the egg toaster wins, but I'd be most likely to buy the pot.

[@damianvila]

Every time your sil is in a video, she’s happy and laughing. She has a lovely predisposition. I enjoy her appearing in the videos. I mean this in a really innocent way. I just enjoy that kind of personality. Cheers.

[@sleepysartorialist]

[@jodammerungii6134]

The little kettle looks really useful; I think it’s the most practical one of the bunch.

[@fancydeer]

that mini grill looks fun/cute. it's not really practical to feed a bunch of people, or cook things quickly but it would be fun to use during a little get together. people could make their own skewers and cook them while having other food and drinks like you guys did here. It would be a good way to get folks to slow down and unwind.

[@TheRageist]

The small toast cooker is really good didn't expect it to work that well at all, also the small yakitori grill looks really convenient aswell

[@AnxiousGary]

The voice overs are so funny! As a single person who loves kitchen gadgets this video is speaking to me in a big way. Granted I mostly stick with my tiny rice cooker since it can do so much, but I think I would use the yakitori grill. Not that rotating one, that one scares me.

[@ChristopherCricketWallace]

it's like they didn't actually USE the devices before manufacturing them...

[@alfidotv]

[@coolrottie2565]

That pot that holds 1000 litres is one amazing pot 😁. Great video enjoyed watching, keep up the good work 👍

[@Enocia]

I have a bento box rice cooker, but mine has two ceramic cups side by side instead of a square box, and the rice never has to be washed. It comes out perfect every time, and you can either make two servings of rice or make rice on one side and steam veggies or other things on the other side. It works great, and was about $50. I think it is the one appliance we use the most often in our little apartment.

[@kinseylise8595]

Could I ask you to check the brand on your appliance please? I would love an item like this, especially with the more convenient design that you're describing.

If you ever want to downsize to a tiny house, these products would be great. So if you don’t have a lot of space and you don’t want to put in like a full on stove, these are a good substitute.

I live in a small studio without a kitchen so I've purchased a single burner induction stove from Ikea, which I keep in a cupboard. It's great for people without a stovetop! Plus a rice cooker and microwave, I can make anything that doesn't require an oven (and roughly make a few things that do, hahaha) and I can move the induction stove to the table if I have people over. I can't imagine any of these making my life more convenient, but that tiny baby grill does look like a lot of fun!!

[@rumaki7543]

As I watched you test the mini toaster and found that the eggs hadn't quite cooked at the recommended temp and time, I was thinking that it probably would've cooked perfectly if it had just been one egg.

[@paulmiles3457]

I live alone, but I have plenty of kitchen space, so none of these gadgets would be of any use to me, but I do like the idea of microwaving the precooked and frozen rice! It was a fun video to watch, regardless! My 3 gadgets I like the most for single life, is the air fryer, the George Foreman grill, and the multicooker.

[@strayiggytv]

One thing often overlooked when it comes to products like these is they save on power. An electric kettle uses less power than heating an eye on the stove. I have a stove but I use small appliances more

[@LatitudeSky]

The egg-toaster is a great idea. I would use that. Multi-purpose gadgets appeal to me because my kitchen is very small and only has counter space for ONE appliance, so I am always swapping coffee maker for toaster or instant pot. Making a meal with toast and coffee requires planning ahead.

[@Nynke_K]

What a fun and funny video! Seeing you klutz around trying everything out and especially hearing you read out your words after Akko had been told she sounded like she was reading a line IRL - lol! I think I'd give that electric nabe pot a go and make sukiyaki in it. Yum!

[@ClubMonchhichi]

We have a little oven called "the Diner". It can cook an egg on top or remove the round egg pan to slide bread for toast down 2 slots, the oven is big enough to heat a large muffin or biscuit and you can make toast in it like the mini oven you showed us, and it has a 2 serving coffee/tea maker on the end of it. I love it. We keep it in the craft room and make tea and mini cakes for snack breaks. I call it my adult easy bake oven lol

I think the Mini Toaster wins, Normally well atleast in the UK the toaster only cooks toast and you have to break out the frying pan to cook sunny side up eggs. But with that 2 and one, its fast, and you only have to clean that egg holder, as for the Thanko rice x steamer. I think its nice if you are travelling. But if you are at home, I think I prefer to just cook one batch of rice and put it in the fridge. Same for other meals. Meal prep then store it in the fridge enough for 1 week.

[@garlickebagg]

Man, that tiny toaster is kind of intriguing. I don't own a microwave and I just can't make myself cook in the mornings, and I just can't do a cold breakfast in the mornings now that it's cold, so I usually go without. Something I can just throw eggs in and walk away to get ready for work?? That would be ideal!

[@canned-strawberries]

[@nameless5413]
