Microwave Crisp Maker Review | Ashens

[@TheHutchy01]

This is one of the only times to my knowledge we ever saw the Brown Sofa being actually used as a sofa.

[@rzeka]

He sits on it in the Flip Video review as well.

[@aualga]

​@@rzeka And the Toshiba Camilio H10

[@judojamie379]

also the end of "Where's my sofa?" iirc

[@minefilms1122]

i never saw a microwave with all the buttons inside the door before :/

[@buzzingsigndiner397]

The front is tinted, too. Now the display is more difficult to see. _Genius_

[@KirbyMario12345_939]

Well, he made the smart move of ditching said microwave shortly after filming. Hopefully for one where the buttons can be accessed from the outside.

[@buzzingsigndiner397]

Agent Paradox Who even designs a microwave like that? o_0

[@KirbyMario12345_939]

Crazy cretins, that's who.

[@LazerLord10]

Why do I feel like I've stumbled onto a video from the 90's? This is from 2007! _2007 is closer to the nineties than I am to 2007._ wow.

[@candiedskull9841]

Ahhhh

[@ArchangelExile]

Aaaarrrgghh

[@ryannui]

ahhh yes, this is indeed a vintage ashens, a rare oddity indeed, but like a fine wine. kills your livers and is favored by depressed people.

[@rebecca7518]

What a comment.

[@thatsuaveraptor4297]

Although in moderation, fine wine (and malt whisky) is beneficial to your health.

[@TheHollowBodiesBand]

ThatOneEngie I didn't know I had more than a liver! Cool!

[@CaptJABRONIE]

I've only started watching Ashens in the past year. And holy shit. This is ten years old. You're so damned youthful lol

[@tripplehelix]

You seem relaxed, human and happy. What happened to you?

[@dennett316]

The crushing despair of Poundland tat hadn't entirely worn him down at that point.

[@Heliophanus]

He got old.

[@g00gly0eyes]

He had a girlfriend at that point.

[@Tressym.]

Life and terrible Poundland products. It also doesn't help that he's had terrible food FROM Poundland and various other places, off or otherwise. Probably changed his brain chemistry...

[@AgentTasmania]

+Heliophanus True, he's what, 35, 36 now? Was merely in his late 20s when he made this... and already could have passed for a 40 year old. Edit: he was 38 when the video was posted and would have been 30ish when it was made.

[@JLConawayII]

I think if I put that in my microwave for 5 minutes, a small pile of ash is all that would remain. I'm pretty sure my microwave uses an antimatter beam to cook food. It's goddamn ridiculous.

[@armanelgtron4533]

JLConawayII 3000 watt?

[@Skarfar90]

JLConawayII Russian nuclear device?

[@someweeb3650]

JLConawayII a mini death star in your microwave?

[@lunardour]

JLConawayII I'm pretty sure that if you struck some food with a beam of antimatter your house would explode.

[@OdaSwifteye]

+JLConawayII Tiny Ashen in the microwave? Devil magic.

[@ChickenPika]

That last bit was genuinely heart-warming.

[@NewtsOnAcid]

ChickenPika I didn't know it was a female, but that last bit certainly brought Ashens into a more innocent light. An excellent blooper.

[@jameswilkes6091]

ChickenPika ChickenPika? MY HERO

[@corey1054]

I just love how theres a popstation on the table...you know nearly 700,000 subscribers is pretty good but ashens deserves more! Ashens deserves at least 2 million subscribers!

[@x2eXu50x]

Only the true Ashens fans have seen this when it was first uploaded.

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

And then 9 years later Barry makes a video on the same thing, only this one is *gasp* round!

[@EmeraldLavigne]

Mike Jeavons made one too.

[@Bendetoma]

I keep forgetting that he actually has a Doctorate, its awesome every time!

[@bradleymorgan8223]

i wish my microwave played music like that XD

[@waymuu]

oh man, the old song is what made this video hilarious

[@iCatchLupin]

I remember the video, but not the old song. Do you know what it was?

[@waymuu]

It sounded like stock elevator music. I'm sure I have the old video saved somewhere.

[@iCatchLupin]

waymuu Oh, I bet I know the track. Ashens liked to use it.

[@EricCarter12]

What was the old song? I can't remember as I watched this so long ago.

[@SweetSoulBrother0]

i suddenly remember it now, god dammit that was great

[@DemonicAkumi]

SIMON PEGG! Wait... that comment don't work anymore... I miss 2007

[@Liggliluff]

There's a bunny in the bowl. I didn't know Ashen had such cute bunny plush :3

[@omegafoxie7707]

They sure have the perfect amount of crunchyness, judging by the sound they make. Now you just need some very spicy flavoring on those and you have the perfect snack for me, that is

[@owenabz]

Was this recorded on a potato too?

[@KirbyMario12345_939]

in 2007. Read the description.

[@dragonbutt]

[@TheYouTubeGame]

Not Alien, Ashens

[@echo7326]

Or a man with great skin ;)

[@MrMega200]

***** He is The Master!

[@Terrum]

I remember seeing this video before it was taken down; I laughed so hard when reading the title - it was already stupid enough that someone tried inventing a 'crisp maker' for a microwave. Such a comical piece of plastic.

[@ramon88us]

I remember when this was originally uploaded on the Gizmodo channel back in 2007. I was trying to look for this video a few months ago and I'm glad to see it back.

[@rickyrigatoni]

Uhm excuse me but in America we don't call them crisps we call them بھیڑ کی آنتوں

[@jakedolby9113]

So hes british what do what ever u call them have to do with it its not all about you lot you know

[@thomasjenkins7506]

Jake Dolby you hear that thing whizzing past your head? yeah, that was the joke.

[@bosyosy1015]

That's what they call them in most of the UK too!

[@bosyosy1015]

Hi Ho Wolverhampton sweden yes

[@THEMultiTasker2014]

Whoa. Almost 10 years later and you look exactly the same.

[@SQUIZZLER24]

I know right? You would never have thought he was 287 years old...

[@IvyMidrVega]

Literally the only difference is his hair.

[@MJ_M]

I think I remember this one. Ashen, your just as good today as you were back in 2007. One of my favorite KZbinrs.

[@lettucefire]

That's a bloody great crisp cooking hat

[@Avesfox]

I wish my microwave would play classy music while cooking my meals! that would make me a classy fellow.

[@ravenlorans]

Results may vary on, Thickness of the slice, Type of Potatoes, Power of Microwave, Size of Microwave, if you wiped your ass, It's Chef Excellence Approved, Time of Day, if you soaked out most of the moisture out of the potatoes you could before hand, Washed your hands after wiping your ass, were too Fucking lazy to just go buy a bag at the Pound/Dollar Store, used 3 Sad Onions instead of Potatoes.

[@Blu22212]

That last head cooing was adorable, Ashens - Didn't expect that out of you.

[@astropgn]

What a stupid model of microwave... you need to open the door in order to press the buttons

[@Thorondor123]

Definitely not for people who want to just press the buttons without putting anything in the microwave.

[@KirbyMario12345_939]

That's all right. When I had my nan's old microwave, you had to push "start" even though the timer was a knob.

[@CoolVids19]

Thorondor123 I close the microwave door and then press the buttons...

[@dennett316]

***** Oh no...so you'd have to change the routine in a barely significant way! How horrifying!

[@astropgn]

[@TheGilBehar]

This video was 7 years old when it was uploaded. 7 years ago…

[@papayer]

holy shit guys he is SITTING on the sofa

[@AWISECROW]

Ashens, your link to the world of culinary delights!

[@JayDubbskies]

This thankfully was on the Ashenthology DVD, but I remember when it was new as well. I think it was on Gizmodo if I recall?

[@DarthVaderFan92]

7 Years later and his house still looks like he lives at his parents!

[@JosiahMKP]

It's a shame the music had to be changed. That was my favorite part.

[@AmyMist]

i've been told that to make them in the microwave, you should coat them in oil first. might not make a difference, but who knows?

[@SmeddyTooBestChannel]

1:01 I didn't know Ashens was a cyborg ninja.

[@uyukat]

Seeing somebody actually sitting on that sofa is more jarring than it should be given that that's what sofas are meant for

[@NAMEDTODIE]

'i haven't filled it up because I am lazy' oh I love watching these old ones 😂

[@willowgravestock1884]

I’m here in 2019 and this is still quality

[@SmileyTom666]

Not going to lie, i feel physically ill watching this. My grandmother bought one of these (right around 2007). Not sure if we didn't read the instructions correctly, or they were just flat out wrong, but it was 5 mins in the microwave, then i tried one... Soggy, warm, half cooked potato... Didn't eat any chips/crisps for a few years after that, and i can still remember the smell. lol

[@bowserbycurtis4108]

tbh that doesnt sound that bad

[@MyTube31581]

That potato sliceing skill! hes a true master *.*

[@Nettacki]

Wasn't this on Gizmodo at some point?

[@SteBrazier2K9]

+Nettacki yeah, the laser pointer one too

[@NudCanFly]

Daaaaaaaaaaamn this is an ooooooooold one, this is like way back around the time I remember you doing a couple reviews for Gizmodo

[@jcrowley1985]

I'd recommend a katana instead of a longsword to get much thinner and precise slices, that is why they took so much extra time. (seriously, maybe if they were thinner they would cook faster).

[@theoriginaldylangreene]

Sorry to be "that guy". But a katana is no more precise than a long sword. A katana's blade is actually quite thick.

[@theoriginaldylangreene]

***** Damn, irrefutable logic; my only weakness.

[@theoriginaldylangreene]

AgentTasmania Don't believe the hype. The vikings where making some of the finest blades in the world in the late 1st Century. The reason a katana is made from folded steel is because of the rarity of good steel in Japan. Once they found a design that kind of worked, they didn't change it. Where as the constant power struggles in Europe evolved both the Art of War and metalergy

[@theoriginaldylangreene]

AgentTasmania Who's talking about long swords, I'm talking about metalergy.

[@theoriginaldylangreene]

AgentTasmania I was replying to your comment about viking blades. Besides the fact that early Norse blades where based on the spatha, it's self a Roman longsword, and that as a general rule they got longer with time. But that's besides the point, you need to read more about Viking crucibled steel. It wasn't bettered until the industrial revolution. The Japanese didn't have this technology for another 800 years.

[@Capochetta]

Wow! Fancy hats AND violin music? British microwaves sure are fancy!

[@NoFormalTraining]

Never saw the original video so I'm curious what the music was? The new music works for me just perfectly though :)

[@Thunderbirds101]

Chainsaws are indeed an excellent tool for cutting potatoes!

[@TheDeathbrigade]

Ash will agree on that one

[@MysteriumArcanum]

Oh TB101 I've been watching your videos so long I read your comment in MS Sam's voice.

[@LexiB272]

Microsoft Sam: [Servant Brute moan]

[@KetwunsGamingPad]

This is a great idea, it's like eating real potato. Perish the thought I would actually want to eat potato when I eat potato chips.

Thank you Stuart for reposting this!

[@fighterjoe22]

Aww classic ashens is adorable!

[@MrSlendyMannn]

0:58 God, hearing that fatality sound brought back memories. Oh, that and the fact that this video is originally from 2007.

[@SsnakeBite]

Wow, 2007? That's got to be one of the first food videos Ashens ever did. I didn't even remember him doing any of those until... 2012 or something like that?

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

I remember watching the original video! Was it taken down? Or is he simply reuploading old content to make ad revenue (didn't exist in 2007)

[@kat-pk2no]

A song in it was Copy right or something :(

[@staley101]

That is one dapper hat Dr. Ashens

***** how

[@urcle3704]

:( :(d there ment to be healthy. If your going to put salt on them just buy normal cripis ya dingus

[@loonygoldfish]

They'll still be slightly healthier even if you do use salt because at least you're not deep fat frying them, so less fat

[@urcle3704]

loonygoldfish You either wanna eat healthy or you dont. There is not a middle ground haha.

[@broerbreaker9240Z]

John Kramer Salt isnt unhealthy, Its just that you shouldnt have to many, This will still be more healthy as it isnt fried, I also tryed using peper, isnt that bad ;)

[@AmazonianBeauty]

i don't know if someone's already replied, but what was the original song called? kinda reminded me of zorba the greek and the tie skipping from Little Big Planet. i thought that was much funnier, oh well....booo copyright!!

[@keatonkitsune8131]

I wish I could remember what the title of the piece is. One of those classical pieces we played in orchestra years ago.

[@IVR02]

That's a very nice microwave you have. Mine is an ancient, low-wattage relic that still uses knobs as opposed to buttons.

[@PsylomeAlpha]

I miss my old relic. Had it my entire life, it died two years ago and now we have one with a jet turbine for ventilation. It also sucks at cooking things properly.

[@IVR02]

PsylomeAlpha My relic takes forever to cook anything. For example, the other day, I put in a packet of popcorn. The packet said to microwave for 4 minutes. However, after 4 minutes, not a single kernel was popped, so I had to set it for another 4 minutes. In other words, it takes at least twice as long to cook as a normal microwave. But hey, it still works, and if it ain't broke, there's no need to replace it!

[@PsylomeAlpha]

BikerBoyNJ mine only took about a minute longer than it used to. it also survived multiple explosions and kept ticking for nearly another decade.

[@nullwii]

the buttons for the microwave are on the inside? Weird

[@bangoreagles904]

No jump cuts? This truly is retro.

[@zampai]

I somehow can and cannot believe this man is an actual doctor...

[@creativejamieplays7185]

A great joke would have been to just open the microwave then pull out a bag of walkers crisps.

[@dollors1]

The Microwave is shaped like the Ore Ida logo, perfect for cooking potatoes :P

[@sprklfaz]

what a blast from the past!

[@jongabonga636]

Do all british microwaves have the buttons behind the door?

[@ellwick]

Geometry Dash VideoPlayer no most are next to the door but the more expensive the better they get a cheap one still have the dial on and the more high end ones have a digital display however i have never seen one quite like that

[@harrier331]

Geometry Dash VideoPlayer what a rediculous question

[@Gambit771]

+Geometry Dash VideoPlayer That is a ridiculous question. No they don't. He has one that is going for style of function. First time I have ever seen that. My 30 year old microwave doesn't do that.

[@monkeycheese6775]

Yh 100% every single one. the royal microwave and Co set up by the queen has total monopoly over the microwave industry. and her idea was to make British people have microwaves which have the buttons inside...... what a ridiculous question

[@thevigilantsatanicbowser8249]

Fun fact all microwave interfaces in Russia deliver a shock to the user. The Japanese ones use brainwaves and speak in a school girl voice.

[@mjc0961]

Wow, that really was encoded in something shit. I thought the quality was just the camera, but then that outtake at the end looked great.

[@DarkxDizi]

Good to know that EVERYONE had an lolsorandumxD phase a few years ago. Good on you Ashens for putting it right out there.

[@RagnarokiaNG]

I once tried to make my own crisps by shallow frying a sliced up potato on the hob. Sadly it took like 50 minutes and it still didn't really work.

[@RagnarokiaNG]

Not from what I remember sadly, they didn't really get crispy so they just sort of went into a more solid form but still tasted raw.

[@GuyAPerson]

Ah, I remember this. The old video's music was far better, but that's copyright for you.

[@Frellyouall]

I had one of these but never used it. Also, I think I remember watching this when you first uploaded it. Blimey.

I don't care what they taste like, I subscribe to the Directly Proportional Law of Crisps: The more I eat the happier I get.
