guys? the eggcracker is for boiled eggs .. not for uncooked ones. we germans eat "frühstücksei" - breakfast egg - spooned out of an eggcup so the removing of the head makes it easier to spoon the egg ...

I really didn’t like that gadget! Not only do I doubt the UV lamp in it is strong enough to actually sterilize, there’s also the points Ben brought up that if it doesn’t sterilize the entire utensil it’s pointless. But also there’s a chance people grow overly confident of the product and bypass a simple (more efficient) water+soap washing. I have a similar problem with hand sanitizer. It’s a useful alternative if you don’t have access to running water and soap in the moment. But when you only use hand sanitizer, it might kill the microbes but they’re still left on your hands! What if it didn’t kill all of them? When you wash your hands with running water, they get rinsed away! If you want to sterilize something, do it in addition to washing, not instead of.

As someone who works with sterilizing hospital equipment to use in surgery, can I just say about the knife block; DO ABSOLUTELY NOT BUY THAT ! Ben nails the point perfectly. It does NOT sterilize anything. Yes, UV-light can do that, but standing in a normal kitchen that is absolutely not sterile, and with the handles hanging outside of the UV-lights, what the knife block claims to do is a false promise. And because it's a false promise, it provides a false sense of security. So the user will act like it has worked, when it hasn't. And THAT makes it a dangerous gadget to use. Please make a point to that, Sorted. I love all the different types of gadgets on this channel, and I use some of them after having seen them on here, but I honestly don't think that knife block should have a spot. Great episode regardless, and sorry for the burst :)

Exactly, and all the more reason when I first saw this thing, it just annoyed me. It also looks like it limits the kinds of frostings you can use on the cakes since they have to be thin enough to pour and some frostings are not going to have the same texture (and possibly taste) after they get cooled to firm up again. It's a decent idea on paper, but overall awful in practice for anyone who would spend that much money to use it.

The Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher is meant to be used on soft boiled eggs, so you can then spoon out the innards through the convenient opening. Soft boiled eggs are a popular breakfast item, though most people just crack the shell with a spoon and then peel off the upper quarter or so, which can be messy. This gadget makes that easier and neater, though it's certainly not necessary.

That sterilising knife block is the worst gadget I’ve ever seen for a multitude of reasons. 1) As Ben said, as soon as you take it out, it’s immediately exposed to pathogens anyway. 2) Harmful pathogens that may be on your knife are washed away from the washing up process anyway, or when you actually cook the ingredients you cut with said knife. 3) The over sterilisation of some environments is actually more harmful for humans as your immune system is not exposed to as many pathogens, meaning you have a weaker immune system. 4) It’s another electrical gadget when in recent years, people are trying to reduce their electricity usage. Finally, if the machine does take 45 minutes to work, absolutely no one is actually going to do that on a regular basis, rendering the entire machine completely pointless.

I only disagree, and very mildly at that, with your last point. If it actually worked, I could see washing your knives and putting them in the block to dry and sterilize as you left the kitchen for the night. Then it wouldn't matter how long it took as long as it was done by morning. But since it's useless for its stated purpose, that doesn't matter. You're better off dunking your tools in a basin of sanitizer. My husband is immunocompromised and my family have all worked in kitchens, so that was the obvious choice for us when he started his treatment. And sanitizing tablets are dead cheap and easy to get, too.

That sterilizer is a straight up scam. An aquarium UV sterilizer takes only seconds to kill pathogens in the water as is passes by in the filter hoses. Seconds. Wastewater plants have been using UV sterilizers for decades, been experimented with for over a century. They're used in laboratories to sterilize surfaces. You can find them in air purifiers, too. Those are a mercury vapor bulb. VERY effective. They have been experimenting with UV LEDs with exposure times of 5 minutes in hospital settings with excellent results. Remember that: Hospital setting, 5 minutes. There are baby bottle sterilizers on the market that use UV LEDs with an exposure time in as little as 3 minutes. They appear to be quite effective. That stupid block appears to have one singular, regular-ass blue LED in it. It's not going to do anything at all other than give a blue glow and trick you into believing it's actually doing something in that 45 minute countdown. The interior of that block isn't even reflective so not everything will be exposed to the light and sterilization only occurs on surfaces lit by the light. Products like these, which prey on people's germaphobia and ignorance of how sterilization actually works makes me so rationally angry.

On the knife block. It's not really designed to be a replacement for washing. The idea is that you would wash your knives and board, place them in the block, and turn it on so that next time you have a clean and dry board. This is more useful on the board then anything else as wooden and plastic boards both tend to carry bacteria in scratches and grooves that are not removed by routine cleaning. On the other hand chefs have been using wooden cutting boards for years expressly because most woods contain natural oils that kill bacteria. If anything is contributing to killing bacteria the most it's the 70 degree C air. Dry air at this temp for more than 30 mins will result in pasteurization. Ultraviolet light is a very large spectrum. In fact it covers a spectrum many many times larger than the visible spectrum. At the very low end we have UV-A which we cannot detect directly, but we can see when certain items react to the high energy light (black light). UV-B is the light that penetrates into our skin and helps produce Vitamin D3, but it's also powerful enough to cause sunburns and eventually cancer. UV-C is the most intense UV radiation before heading into X-ray territory. UV-C contains enough energy to start to penetrate into organics and can damage DNA and RNA. Which will impact Viruses, Bacteria, and anything else living. UV-C can quickly cause extreme sunburn and is commonly seen in ArcFlash that welders experience. Just like with bacteria it damages most living things it touches, especially cells that are not adapted specifically with things to block UV light. The UV-C lamps in a lot of gadgets operate at the very lowest end of UV-C and usually do not carry too much power. Bacteria are very sensitive to UV and so it does help kill some, but in these low power LED emitters its relatively short range (a few inches at most) and generally show only a small increase in overall impact. Hospitals and medical equipment manufacturers use significantly more powerful UV-C systems for complete sterilization (units that consume 1000-3000 Watts to sterilize equipment in a 30-60 min of exposure). So it does something, but a second wash scrubbing with vinegar or baking soda and a good drying is much more effective trhan these UV-C led lamps.

Yup, UV-A, B and C. UV-A is the lowest energy and the one you see in black lights. UV-B and C are used in sterilization but are dangerous because while yes they will kill bacteria on their own they will also cause burns and cause oxidation and produce Ozone which will destroy pretty much anything is comes in contact with. Hospitals use them to sterilize rooms but they have to be ventilated to avoid causing lung damage. So either this is just a bunch of BS marketing or a very dangerous item.

So any biological matter is destroyed... Plus non biological stuff so it would be ruining any wood cutting board or even plastic ones.

The UV light in that knife block, assuming it is an actual sterilizing one and not just a colored led to look like its special, can cause terrible eye and skin damaged if exposed long enough. UV light is what welders wear all the leather jackets and pant's and special mask to block because UV is what causes Sunburn and skin damage.

The frost form is crazy, who the hell wants a cake that is 7 inches round and 12 inch high, I will keep to just doing it the original way. Total waste of money as far as I am concerned, at £74.75. The egg cracker is for soft-boiled eggs guys, thought you would have known that. Kush is WRONG, black light and UV light for sterilising are different wave forms, of UV light, black light is UV-A whereas sterilisers are usually UV-C which is dangerous. But correct, they are both UV light. Example UV-C light is used in sterilisers for use in medical sterilisers in hospitals etc, UV-C should NEVER be looked at as it can damage your eyes, and skin. Black Light is used to show up germs etc using florescent dyes, and used in entertainment at dance halls as it makes white shine bright on a darkened dance floor, that pile of junk the guys looked into looks like it uses LED's and NOT proper UV-C tubes, which will sterilise in 10-20 minutes. UV-C light, emitting at 254 nm, is the wavelength that is preferentially absorbed by nucleic acids, resulting in DNA/RNA damage and ultimately sterilization. Black light is 365 nm or more, it's at the visible end of ultraviolet, which is why you can see a faint purple tinge to the light.

Between this and the egg cracker they really should have done the bare minimum amount of research for this episode. That said that’s an absurd price for that UV knife block and ultimately its purpose is kind of redundant with proper washing.

A tablespoon of honey is 21 grams. I just use a scale and squeeze directly into the bowl. Same with PB and other messy ingredients. Much simpler, cleaner and more exact. Anyone not using a scale for baking is just making life harder for themselves.

I own that exact egg tool and am so disappointed you didn't realize this is for SOFT cooked eggs. Really funny to watch you struggle... but sad you didn't get it right. Please retest this correctly.

Polygons was such a shitsh0w. The gist is that it was originally a Kickstarter that went horribly bad, put together by some folks with a history of starting new projects to pay for the previous project but running off with most of the money. Basically VC plus kiting as a business model. They supposedly had prototypes before the Kickstarter but then spent the next 3 years developing prototypes, and another couple of years getting a factory to make them. Then the pandemic hit. Meanwhile, someone else took their concept, made it with slight adjustments, and put it out on the market within a year of the Polygons funding going complete.

They used the Frost Form wrong. You're supposed to chill it until it's hard. Then, you need to pipe the ganache into the form so it goes all the way down. Then, after chilling again, you flip the cake over, and the bottom becomes the top.

The knife block UV cleaner is a real thing, but it is a gimmic thing. I have worked with Xenex machines that they actually use to sterilize hospitals, and yes they use UV Light but the lights they use are way more powerful. When using these they do big, really bright, and really loud flashes of light to kill the germs. You can't be anywhere near the light, and when it is done the whole room smells of OZone. But you still have to clean it normally. They also use similar tools in some airlines to sterilize the toilets midflight. Once again you can't be anywhere near it while running. And it takes less than 2 minutes not 45 minuites. So while I say it is an actual technology this is a ripoff.

Seriously! British cooks and chefs did not see it 😂 I am here in Canada andT the whole time they were testing second gadget for taking the top off of the egg I instantly thought that is for soft boiled eggs and tosted soilders. And was really hoping for once somebody would actually use it for such BUT NO 😅 Not even popular here, but know it is there lol Even the desert picture they showed was a take on it and still I can't even get a British cooking show to use it right 😂❤

that little piddle squat UV LED doesn't have the correct wavelength or power to sterilize anything. Germicidal bulbs would burn your eyes if you look at them (that's why they are used in enclosures)

How did you plonkers not know that the egg cracker was for soft boiled eggs?!?! Please tell me this was a simple mistake and not a ploy to drive up engagement with comments like mine. The former I can excuse, the latter, not so much...

The solution to measuring spoons are, surprice surprice, use the metric system and a scale. Not only you don't have spoons to wash after, you also pour the ingredients directly from their package to the mixing container or whatever cookware are you using. Now that I finish ranting (hahaha) I don't get why people still use spoons, in XXI century time, to measure things in cooking

Using spoons is not "measuring". Its guessing. Get a scale, way better than those plastic thingamagicks. (plus the plastic will develop stress fractures and come apart after a while). Just get a scale.

Knife block is worse than useless. It will give some people a false sense if security Like gloves people will think it makes it safe and will probably have MORE cross contamination.

Whereas if you take 70% or higher alcohol and before taking that out of the knife block you spray them down you're pretty much doing the same thing as the UV light at the bottom so I don't see the point in it either, so that night that knife block that's supposed to sterilize things is just stupid.
