I finally try this kitchen gadget | My first video of 2023!

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉 It's my first video for 2023. Let's go! 🙌🏼😃 Here's additional info and thoughts on the fruit washing capsule. This capsule is described as a machine that uses electrolysis to sanitize and clean fruits and vegetables. I searched info on this method, and here is a brief explanation : "What is water electrolysis technology? This technology uses a mild saltwater solution and electrical current to produce two streams of electrolysed water-one negative for cleaning and the other positive for sanitising and disinfecting. You may also hear the technology referred to as “electrolysed water.” Visually, the capsule/machine appears to work or, at the very least, agitate the water. The water was also dingy compared to the vinegar one. I think vinegar is trusted because it is proven a great disinfectant. It boils down to whether I trust the capsule is doing what it promises. By appearance of the water and taste of the strawberry, it worked in my opinion. Do I know the fruit to be sanitized? No, because I would need to look under a microscope to be 100 percent sure. In conclusion, vinegar is always a safer bet, but I have been so curious to try out this machine, and I finally did that. 😊

Happy new years to you and your family god bless

[@em286]

Thanks for testing that gadget! I would really like to see more kitchen gadget videos. 😎

[@Kim-Unearthed]

Happy New Year!!! And yes!!! YES to making this gadget testing a regular thing on the channel!! I would LOVE that! I'm constantly looking for new things to try out in the kitchen and would love reviews from someone I trust to tell me the truth about them! Much love to you and your beautiful family!🥰

[@G-MAW-9]

So do you trust the vinegar and water method more ?

[@lucky0n3]

a gadget series would be great!

[@1stcavKilroy]

Loved the video demonstration. The only thing I would suggest is the gadget in just a bowl of water to see if it gets dingy by itself. And if the water stays clear, redo the vinegar soaked strawberries with gadget to see if or how dirty the water gets... Just to see how clean it actually makes the strawberries....

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

The water will change color. The water color change is just a result of the action of electrolyzing the water. It's perfectly harmless, safe and normal. And an indication that the unit is working.

[@conniehanson7989]

Yes, I would like to see a weekly kitchen gadget review from someone who actually cooks!! Thank you, Happy New Year 😊

[@AZHITW]

How times have changed, when I was growing up (1950s) it wasn't unusual to find worms in corn, apples, basically any fruit, we just cut off the worm-eaten section and finished eating the fruit. Now if someone finds a bug, they sue the company/grower and then wonder why food costs are so high.

[@Allie-oop]

Some of the very best sweet corn I have ever eaten had a worm in every ear, we cut it out, cooked it up and it was great. I would gladly deal with the worms if I could get corn like that again, this happened years ago….

I'm less worried about bugs but more worried about bacteria or germs. We had vegetable gardens and fruit trees growing up, and bugs were natural. I see people sneeze and cough all over the grocery store, so I pretty much wash everything. 😬

[@nikkivenable73]

I rarely wash my fruits except for a cursory rinse. I’m still alive and kicking😂

[@mygirldarby]

People don't sue for finding bugs in produce.

[@AnnA-jd4xm]

Parasites are in soil.

[@cookingwithkooks341]

The landscape of instructional cooking videos is not tiny. It takes a unique approach and style. you have nailed it!

[@girlcheck]

Generally, I wash my fruits and vegetables in baking soda solution. I clean my potatoes by rubbing them with a thin paste of baking soda. It works great! It's not water soluble so you never have to worry about absorption by the fruit which is not true for salt or vinegar. Baking soda is a purifier that works by absorption much like activated charcoal. Where as vinegar is an acid that breaks down the fiber structure of the fruit itself and can be absorbed. 🤓 ♥

[@iMichellet7]

How much baking soda ratio do you use?

[@mamaschmeeda]

@@iMichellet7 Just add a little water at a time until it becomes paste. I use sprinkle some baking soda on my wet hand and rub it all over potatoes.

I think washing in a water / vinegar solution disenfects. The baking powder is a great way to clean but does not sanitize as well. I will definitely be using this for scrubbing potatoes. That is such a great idea. Thank you! 👍🏼

[@girlcheck]

@ Baking "soda". Not baking powder. Bicarbonate of soda. Not the same. Vinegar doesn't technically disinfect but more so its an acid that breaks down protein structures that make them readily wash away. This is why it works well as a degreaser. I love your show! 😍 Love you! I'm all about what's "comfortable for your home". I appreciate you so much in all the things you do and your great efforts for your family and your kitchen. Best to you in the New Year!

[@girlcheck]

@@iMichellet7 depending upon how much fruit or vegetables you're washing, about a tablespoon to a medium sized bowl of fruits or vegetables with water and swirl it around occasionally. I think 30 minutes is plenty. 15 minutes will do the job. Be sure to give a rinse after soak. It works really well for tomatoes to get that waxy greasy coating off.

[@kathrynhodgson5037]

Try the machine in a plain bowl of water to see if the water clouds up. If it’s cloudy, then you know it’s not all dirt. If it’s clear, then you know it works really well. I just use the vinegar method too. That’s how I clean/disinfect my house. (Vinegar, baking soda, or hydrogen peroxide because I can’t use chemicals or scented products…and it’s reliable and cheaper.)

[@chacha79070]

Great idea

[@rosatorres6430]

Hi Angelica, yes maybe a once a month or every two weeks gadget review would be nice, sometimes one doesn't even know these things exist to make our kitchen/cooking experience better!

Thank you! Yes! That sounds like a great idea. 😊

[@beverlyharward9631]

I would definitely want lab results. After all, what are we testing for/against?

[@americanmade-1]

Right lol. I bought one and realized there's literally know way to know if they're clean lol.

[@kaydendelavega8246]

Yeah what if it makes the water dirtier & that’s why it looks like that after it’s done. Gross, I wouldn’t want that at all unless it’s 100% accurate & cleans cleans.

[@sharonlea786]

Could you show a clip where you just put this into a bowl of water with no fruits or vegetables? I am curious if it is cleaning the water.

[@btsstan2611]

Yess you should make this a thing on your channel where you test out gadgets!

[@The47thBasement]

Epicurious does that on their channel. It’s silly gadgets and good ones. The man who tests them has designed many kitchen gadgets, but he doesn’t test his own designs. He’s super funny.

[@tammie6135]

This is cool. Thank you spending your time... love your recipes 😋.

[@dottiemayharris]

Yes Please do review more kitchen gadgets!! Thank you for this review and Happy New Year!!

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

I’ll stay with the old school method. Thank you for the demonstration. I think the yellow foggy water was from whatever was coming out of the blue capsule.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

The water color change is just a result of the action of electrolyzing the water. It's perfectly harmless, safe and normal. And an indication that the unit is working.

[@teridumbrigue7643]

@@Lucinda_Jackson also, vinegar acts like a bleach, so not surprised water is clearer

[@ryupat3940]

En general, los purificadores de iones no deberían enturbiar el agua por sí solos, ya que su función principal es emitir iones negativos que interactúan con partículas en el aire y los alimentos. Sin embargo, algunos purificadores de iones pueden incluir placas de metal que se utilizan para generar los iones negativos y pueden oxidarse con el tiempo, lo que puede afectar la apariencia del agua. Además, es posible que el agua que se utiliza en el purificador de iones contenga impurezas o partículas que puedan enturbiar el agua después del proceso de ionización. Es importante utilizar agua limpia y de buena calidad para asegurar que el proceso de ionización funcione correctamente y no afecte la apariencia del agua. En general, si el agua se vuelve turbia después de utilizar un purificador de iones, es recomendable investigar las causas y asegurarse de utilizar agua limpia y de buena calidad. Si la turbidez persiste, es posible que haya otros problemas que deban ser abordados y se recomienda contactar al fabricante del purificador para obtener más información y soporte técnico.

I myself am not into the trendy kitchen gadgets because more times than not they are a waste of money and take up valuable space. But if it was good, solid cooking tools then yes that would be fun to watch! I still just clean my berries as I eat in good old water. Never had an issue.

[@cynthiar6426]

Best comment!

[@ladeelibra925]

A 👍weekly (or even bi-weekly) kitchen gadget test would be a great addition to your channel. Also - I don't understand how to tell if the gadget u used today really works? I thought maybe there was a Filter inside that you open & See all the Debris or u were gonna inspect the bottom of both bowls (after taking out fruit) 4 a Comparison? Or maybe gently take out as much water as possible & run a clean, white paper towel along the bottom of both bowels & see which had more debris? One Bowl Clear & the other Bowl Cloudy leaves me kinda 🤷‍♀

Yes! I see so many gadgets that trend or Im curioys about. I'm definitely going to try them. I pinned a comment explaining additional thoughts on this. I think the machine functions properly, but to really know if the fruit is sanitized, I would need to use a culture and put it under a microscope.

[@ladeelibra925]

@ Thank U Anjelica for taking the time to write. I'm a very new subscriber & I made your Birria for Christmas & my family really L❤VED it! Doing gadgets might have a learning curve - but I know you'll handle it well. 😁

[@amyfreedomluvr5277]

Very interesting! I enjoyed this. Happy New Year and best wishes for every happiness in the new year.

[@Gothlite-i1l]

I always look at these devices in terms of my own Zombie Apocalypse Test, i.e., how will it work when the grid is down. Needs electricity? Won't work when zombies overwhelm the electrical workers. Vinegar? Great for those who have holed up in Costco. Seriously, Epicurious did a scientific test a while back and the electrolyte way is maybe as effective as clean tap water, but not more. Just another gadget. But I love this type of review and hope you do more because I'd like to see what works and what doesn't.

[@mishkahappy3839]

You can make your own vinegar! But yes, I agree. Everything has to pass the ZA test. Isn't everyone doing it? Omg it's 1984 already

[@99zanne]

I thought the vinegar was supposed to kill or retard the growth of the mold/mildew that is on the strawberries. I use that and dry and pack in glass jars in my fridge. They make 2 weeks with no issue stored like that. TFS.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Maybe that's a test she can do - dry them, pack them and see how long they last in the fridge. That would be a good indication whether the gadget sanitizes as well as the vinegar.

[@lipsiekins845]

It definitely does. Works wonders on cilantro

[@robinh.8513]

Thank you. Just an idea, try the little machine in a bowl of just water and see if it gets cloudy...

Hi Angelica! Happy New Year! 😊 I've tried some of your recipes and we love the flavors. I'm so excited I found your channel recently. I even purchased your book to show my support!!! I think it's so nice of you to recommend gadgets and such. I was wondering about washing produce this way. How would we know if this really works. So I was checking online to see if I could find a website that could recommend this tool. I couldn't find anything, but the FDA website popped up so I clicked on it to see what they said. The FDA recommends that we wash our hands with soap and water before we touch the produce and then to simply clean everything with clean, clear water from the tap. I don't know if that's because of flouride or other substances added to water, but they even recommended that we not use vinegar. I don't know why that is, but Healthline also recommended the same thing, but they were following the FDA recommendations as well. They said that using other ways to clean produce might even be harmful. I thought you'd like to know that! 😊💕

[@cynthiar6426]

That’s for sure. Vinegar kills the strawberry taste …

I remember my childhood in Brazil climbing guava tree and eating a lot of guavas. And many times I found white worms. And I just ate out of it 😂. Now I confess people scare me so much about this things “you should worry about it” that I even forget that I ate tons of little worms in guava fruit when I was a kid. And my mom and grandma always encouraged me as well. Well but interesting device! I will research more about it.

[@CVSG13]

Idk why I’m so excited for this video haha 😅

[@barbarat1050]

Vinegar mixed with fresh tap water is best, and makes fruit last way longer.

[@told1158]

That was interesting. I personally wouldn't buy it. In my mind, baking soda and water mixture does the job well enough. Weekly or monthly gadget videos sounds like a great series.

[@vevenaneathna]

the machine uses a piazo ceramic element to make the bubbles which is the same round type elements used in fog machines/home humidifiers now days. there is also two MMO (mixed metal oxide) electrodes which are commonly used in certain electrolysis cells in industry/lab. i beleve theyre like a titanium/tin coating or something, its very thin but as long as you dont leave it in a caustic/oxidizing solution when its not running and rinse it off well after use, the electrodes will last a long while. the water is likely becoming green because of the reaction of disolved salt (sodium chloride) upon the MMO electrodes which produces the magical and not signficant chlorine dioxide (learn to equilibrium people), but mainly it just makes a lot of bleach (sodium hypochlorite). bleach is green and also dissolves parts of the plant material via oxidation. I would wash your fruit/veggies well after using this since its the same as putting a small amount of bleach on them, which cant be good for gi health/microbiome. i doubt the ultrasonic piazo element does much, its just not enough power, if you look up the wattage of typical transducers. you can get a rough appreciation of the ultrasonic power by placing a cut section of aluminum foil into the water with the device, and if there is significant ultrasonic energy it will blast holes in it pretty much instantly/matter of seconds. i think chemically this probably does what it claims, it does degrade pesticides and technically sanitizes the outside of fruit/veggies which could theoretically help with like say an ecoli exposure or something, but so would washing your fruits/veggies with litteral dish soap or bleach. personally if we have older or wilted veggies/fruit my gf insists on eating i take out my uv pen light and put them under it for a minute or two, just coz mold is so sensitive to uv light.
