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.
@darcieclements48803 ай бұрын
UV bulbs only last a couple of months a pop too.

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 :)

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.

We started doing so in 2022 as due to rising manufacturing costs in the aftermath of the pandemic, it became untenable for us to fulfil orders without additional funding. Any profits we make from direct sales is redirected towards fulfilling Kickstarter orders. Towards acknowledging the same, we updated backers on Kickstarter back in an update on March 2022 and also have a section dedicated to the same on our website itself. We have completed around 11,000 Kickstarter orders till date, and are committed to completing the rest. Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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.
