Hi

[@GoldenGTag.]

The reason that the first cherry pitter only worked half the time is because back in the 1900's cherry's were 15%-25% smaller than cherry's today because since then selective breeding has made them bigger and more delicious than cherry's from more than 50+ years ago. Edit: The fry cutter proves my point

[@delphy2478]

i'm pretty sure selective breeding has also made the pits smaller

I had the George Forman grill. You run it awhile without food, and the plastic smell goes away for good. It was very useful.

I used mine yesterday. I have the huge one and even new it never smelled. I like the flavor off a grill better but this is nice when I'm in a hurry-and works fast on frozen food like chicken breasts or patties.

[@mayukurasaka5344]

It was really convenient for a quick meal. I'd just go to Costco and grab a frozen bag each of burger patties, boneless chicken breasts, and salmon fillets. Pair it with rice and / or some steamed veggies. I still have one packed away that had all sorts of removable grill types. Loved that thing and it never smelled of plastic.

[@Nadesican]

The rise of plastic was definitely cost and availability thing. Back in the 20's when it took a month for an order to get to you, your tools needed to last with little need for maintenance. Now a manufacturer can spend pennies on plastic and replace the product next day. Why bother with quality?

[@TheFuri0uswc]

That's not the case there where plenty of low quality tools back then but they didn't survive till today. The ones that did where the exception not the rule.

[@lesliekilgore648]

somebody doesn't know the history of plastic. because guess what? what you think of plastic? hadn't even been invented yet in the 1920's. 1856 Parkesine 1897-1981 Rayon development and perfection of the cellulose processing techniques 1907 Bakelite (good plastic, but INSANELY brittle. you could drop a Bakelite product on a wood floor from chest height and it would snap and shatter) 1927-38 Nylon by DuPont (first successful crude-oil based thermoplastic polymer) 1930's Polystyrene by BASF 1930 Neoprene by DuPont (synthetic rubber, gloves, SCUBA wet-suits) 1933 Polyethylene by Imperial Chemical Industries 1941 Polyethylene terephthalate by Calico Printers' Association. licensed to ICI and DuPont as the first plastic replacement for glass in bottles and containers. 1954 Polypropylene by Giulio Natta began manufacturing in 1957 (can be spun out as a thread and woven into clothing) 1954 Expanded polystyrene by Dow Chemical (packing peanuts and those white foam cups) so as you can see by my HIGHLY simplified timeline... the plastic 'container' wasn't invented till 1941! 21 YEARS later than you thought.

Even as a Chef, I tend to use certain vintage kitchen gadgets, such as pressure cookers, or the Vintage Edlund top off jar opener from the 1940s as they were built to last a lifetime, unlike the 'Disposable' kitchen gadgets of modern day. My Edlund jar opener was given to me by my grandfather when I was in college, and has outlasted several more modern jar openers that all have broken within a few years. Same holds true with eggbeaters, poultry shears, vintage orange juice press, and garlic presses. My KitchenAid blender that I inherited from my late grandfather is on it's last legs, running but noisy, and it is older than I am in my early 50's. 25 + years ago and gadgets even 40 + years ago were built with metal vs all these plastic components of modern-day gadgets and are still working whereas newer tech is breaking apart at the seams.

The cool thing about this vid was the history. I loved seeing what they thought was innovative in their decade. I think the egg poacher was supposed to be submerged in the hot water before you put the eggs in. Therefore, not all that mess. My Aunt had that apple peeler, corer and slicer. When it was apple picking time, we made a lot of pies, tarts and cakes. I had a lot of fun using that gadget and it lasted years and years. I actually still use my George Foreman grill. It's the fancy one that has exchangeable plates so it's a waffle maker too. I love it. I think the thing I like best about it is that I don't have to deal w/ meat spatter.

[@AlmightyAphrodite]

Awesome video! In the Netherlands we have grilled cheese makers that are basically like that grill they tried. The bread laying flat makes so much more sense than vertical, like in that grilled cheese maker they tried. If the cheese had actually melted, it would be partially on the bottom of that device... how are you going to clean that? We do have toasters looking like that in the Netherlands, but you just put your bread in it and most models have a small detractable tray on the bottom to get out the crumbs that fall in. Also they have multiple settings for how dark you want the toast. My parents had one for 40 years, which was obviously much simpler, but indeed not made out of plastic. They were made to last. Unfortunately their toaster of 40 years gave up last year, so we got them one of those modern ones with the multiple settings and all, but turns out there are still brands that make them out of something sturdier than plastic. They're way more expensive, but hopefully worth it. They look nicer too. And they're more versatile in the sizes of the slices that fit in. On the old one we had to cut it to fit 😅 now they can toast 2 whole slices instead of 2 halves 😂 Some of these gadgets really have potential tho! Like the chocolate grater, that was awesome. Grating chocolate or really fine parmigiano for example is tedious work with a microplane.. I should look into getting a better one for that.
