As someone who lives in Germany, I have to say that the egg slicer is my favorite. I don't know anyone who doesn't own one. Also, in my opinion, they are actually more convenient than cutting the egg with a knife, because then often the yolk swells out of the white. And the slices are also much thinner this way. 😀

This is because it is a very common thing here in the Netherlands and every household owns one. We call it a ‘kaasschaaf’ here and commonly use it for our lunch sandwiches. 2.

As someone who drinks tea everyday, the tea steeping tools are literally a game changer! Especially the second ones they work perfectlyyy! Also the rolling pin one is sooo cute

[@meagantrout2127]

The metal round steeper I use for tea and for powdered sugar on French toast lol. It’s awesome bc you can grab it and it doesn’t go everywhere

[@jenniferarroyo6694]

Your mother is always so supportive and seems to be the most excited person in every video. SO ADORABLE!!

As a VERY messy cook and baker, I find the preparation bowls so useful and cool! I always end up cutting everything on the same cutting board and mixing everything by accident, I need those!

[@mika72.-Bois]

Love how Mia loves most of the Ikea gadgets! But was triggered that she never washed any item before using them!! 😳

[@shakirawie7203]

Whoever created the cutting board prep bowl deserves a Nobel prize because its so genius. Ordering it rn XD Also ty Mia for being so generous and kind! Happy Holidays everyone and good luck!

[@laura1900]

As a german i grew up with an egg slicer as a staple kitchen gadget. So i guess just because of that, I will pick it. 😄 Also it was really fun to see how you both got so excited about Schnitzel 😄.

[@pinkpandalover12]

Those cutting board bowls are GENIUS, where have they been all of my life?! And the jar opener, truly incredible.

You know you're getting old when you get super excited about kitchen gadgets... My favourite one was the roller for heart shaped decorations 😍 Love you Mia!

[@cassidyrosenberg7592]

I think the meat tenderizer was my favorite simply because of the stress relief it seemed to give Mama Maples, she let a lot of emotions out on that schnitzel 😂

As someone who uses lemons/citrus fruits a lot (I love baking), the lemon squeezer that you said you actually rather disliked is actually something me and my family use almost every day. We don’t have quite the same model, so maybe ours is easier to squeeze. Thanks for the amazing video! Keep up the good work.

I honestly love the idea of the bowls that hang off the side of a cutting board! I always get overwhelmed with everything that gathers! Also... The cheese slicer is something that I never knew I needed.

[@tenshipredicta7139]

The jar opener is a literal life saver! Don't have to wait for people to visit to open jars anymore or run them under hot water and worry about dropping them while still struggling to open them 😅

[@FilipaModerno]

When you struggle to open a jar you can use like a butter knife and insert it on the side by the ridges to lift the lid a bit and remove the vacuum. Then, it’s gonna open easily 😊 I hope that makes sense 😅

[@lilacmouse4355]

I love how Mia used a cookie scooper as an ice-cream scooper, iconic

I came looking for this comment!

That and trying to use the piping bottle for regular frosting instead of royal icing. I love her to death, but I was nearly screaming at the television a few times.

[@MarissaNix]

I love the "bowls" for the cutting board edges! I am lazy and like to use one board for every veggie but sometimes they don't all go into the recipe at the same time. They'd be great for keeping things separate. Only wish they came in like pastel colors instead of carrot and peas colors. 😂

[@RadiantPixie]

I’ve had 4 days off and horrible tooth pain, and I discovered your channel and could not stop watching. Thank you so much for getting me through a tough few days. I definitely subscribed! 🎉

[@ericajosefine5288]

Honestly while studying abroad and the holiday season approaching, watching this really brought me some sense of home hehe. I’m Norwegian and these tools are all in my kitchen cupboards at home. The cutting board deviders or the apple and egg slicer are my absolute favourites. Really impressed with Mia’s generosity, the dress is gorgeous

I love that you can tell when Mia is reading from a script vs just talking from her heart. The professionalism really jumps out

[@arniecars62]

i actually think the plastic icing squeezer would work really great for making pancakes! but i think the rolling pin cover is my fave! it’s such a cute touch for any cookie! 💖

[@liannagrider6865]

I love the egg slicer, totally my favorite! We use ours for mushrooms, berries, and all kinds of stuff! It's perfect for cutting nice strawberries for cakes

[@creative2716]

Also slices mozzarella balls for a Caprese salad.

[@beautyizeasy]

Mama Maples is absolutely hilarious! I’m glad she got to enjoy the multiple course meal. 10/10 job on plating, Mia👏🏻

[@Tullletryneh]

As a Norwegian, I can’t live without an egg slicer or a cheese slicer. I have never been in a home that doesn’t have them, and they’re so practical! Also, that Teuta Matoshi dress is stunning (they all are, tbh)

[@uk18flashback]

Mia is so humble and genuine. I literally could watch Mia and Mama Maples do anything. They are so adorable.😍

[@Mmoore324]

I love how appreciative your mom is when you bring out the dishes

[@sarah487]

There's no way you're giving away such beautiful and expensive dresses. That is so nice! Also, I love Mama Maples' laugh. It's so contagious! ❤

[@Elsa-lx1gg]

the eggslicer is my favourite!! It's also perfect to use to slice strawberries when making and decorating summer cakes :)

[@vieltinio]

As a cheese lover, the cheese slicer definitely has my heart 🧀 Also, the last one is perfect for frothing milk to put on your coffee. Definitely adds a ✨barista✨ vibe to your drink!

[@MyMan_WalkerScobell]

Don’t answer the “mia” who commented! It’s a scam

[@Virma26]

I’ll report it as spam

[@melissaschrand418]

I need those preparation bowls they seem so convenient

[@kelseywillow8110]

Cheese slicer - use it to slice cucumber and raw carrots but from top to bottom (long thin slices). Works great as a side dish for example salad or for sushi bowl with some soy sauce and sesame seeds. I have used it this Xmas to have cucumber slices and I put salmon tartare on it. I used a metal ring to make burgers as a gadget to get a nice round shape for the tartare. It looked fancy. 🎉

[@eshlinkaur994]

Love how excited mama maples is to try all these items with you ☺️☺️ loved the sliders that you can add to the sides of your cutting board during chopping, egg slicer was so satisfying to watch and loved the cheese slicer as well 😁
