"Why are you the worst thing that's ever happened to me? And I dated a man!!" That got me. 🤣😂🤣😂

[@emsiep7874]

Your fascination in a toastie maker is amazing. It’s a staple in a British household 😂

[@amynz7450]

Same in New Zealand, every household and workplace kitchen has one. Nobody uses a fry pan

[@charliesmith1636]

Same in Australia we call it a jaffle. I am team triangle cut verses rectangle.

[@janinevanderberg1464]

South Africa too🤣❤ We call them toastie/snackwich makers

[@manonvanoort143]

The cheese knife is used for big blocks of hard cheese ( you call it Gouda i think) and it is in ( almost) every dutch household. In the Netherlands we get in stead of pre cut slices ( but we do have does) big blocks of cheese and slice it our selves. The cheese taste beter that way in my upinion.

[@natashacoffey355]

" This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me and I've dated a man. " Lol Truth. Fact.

[@aidavinas7821]

Rachel I know it sounds really lazy but if you don't want to clean a lot of messes from the sandwich maker use parchment paper on it so the meltet cheese stays in there. Lots of love

[@momma2thewilds88]

We use a higher end parchment paper that will mold better into things and not bounce back up. I prefer better than the normal store one (instead of $3 it's like $8)

[@Sarah-Harvey]

This is genius!

The cheese slicer is for slicing cheese for, like, a sandwich. Most Danish, and I believe most Scandinavian, kids have grown up with a type of cheese slicer so you can get your preferred type of bread with a slice of cheese. Also, the cheese you used is likely to hard

[@korvmalin]

The first one is a must in Sweden. We don’t usually get pre-sliced cheese

[@Ashnod24]

Same Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@SaiSai-up6rf]

Same in Finland. Have 2 one for soft cheese and one for harder cheeses

[@ItsAMbutyoutubechangedmyname]

It was funny when I moved from Sweden to US and nobody knew how to use it 😂😂 I mean you use them for cheese and cucumbers

[@linda8457]

Same in Norway 🇳🇴

[@dibamoca9885]

Denmark too.

[@Ashnod24]

I think 90% of Dutch people have that cheese knife as you call it😂😂😂😂 we eat cheese on bread and we use that thing to slice the cheese for it. Always perfect ❤

[@pastbehind25]

You should totally 💯 do apron merch!!!!!!!

[@jillmarie4240]

Omg that’s a great idea!! I would buy one for sure!! The one she usually wears is one her sister got her one year for Xmas. She could probably come up with some cool ideas for an apron!!

[@janinevanderberg1464]

I love how much your personality shines in your videos, plus you're funny! I really enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for the fun❤ Side note: You'll find a cheese slicer and that kinda sandwich press in almost every South African household🤣

[@aprilchiginsky7560]

You should try using a wet towel under your cutting board so it doesn't slip n slide around. Love the onion slicer!

[@Issy_Owen]

I never realised how many kitchen gadgets my nan has😂 every time you make one of these videos I'm like, WAIT MY NAN HAS THAT. My nan is down with it😂

[@jaymemacfarlane7436]

You have found the joy of the Aussie Toastie!

[@palevampire5661]

That same onion holder was advertised to me as a tomato slicer! That’s why I bought it. It’s in my kitchen drawer rn

[@monicagoncalves7952]

"and i dated a maaaan" ahahhaha i'm dead 😂

[@Kinuki1190]

The cheese slicer is a staple in every scandinavian home. We do alot of "open faced" sandwiches and cheese is the most popular thing to put on bread. If you get a good one, it´s a life saver. You could also buy sliced cheese, but alot of the popular cheeses are sold by block and not pre-cut. Also, pre sliced is always more expensive, and if it´s something you eat every day, you´re way better off buying a block and slicing it yourself. Cheese slicer also works great on carrot and cucumber!

[@AbbyandKathy4ever]

Please please please do more dog toy testing videos!! They are adorable and I cant get enough! 😁💗

[@Ms.DemTube]

We have the "cheese knife" in every household in many european countries. Also something similar to the thingy that hollows out peppers and stuff, we use it in the middle east to hollow out courgettes, bell peppers, or eggplants for dolma.

[@chillgirl9787]

“Hey everybody duh duh duh” I miss Emily in your vlogs

[@Cabenson4eva]

That sandwich maker is VERY popular in Australia. We call them Jaffle makers. Nearly every single Australian household has one

[@gezenamaria1280]

Hey from South Africa 🇿🇦. Here we call the sandwich toaster a snackwich toaster. We also have been making those since for ever. A childhood favourite. You can put 2 slices in and just trim the bread that sticks out with a knife.

[@melrox8809]

I love when I get a notification for Rachel ☺️😁

[@bee.simone3639]

Rachel will always be my mood frfr I just love her 🤣❤️🫶🏽

[@sarasandvik8600]

the cheese cutter is called a "ostehøvel" and we use it everyday in norway. some of them are bad and some is good. =P

[@HannaRoner]

And ''osthyvel'' in swedish, we to use it everyday and oh yes there are some really bad ones 😵 And if the cheese gets a little bit to warm and soft from being out on the frukost bord (breakfast table) it gets really hard to use the osthyvel...

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

We have a lot of different cheese knives here in the Netherlands because each is for a different kind of cheese 😊 You also have those sandwich made with different plates that you can swap. They are easier to clean too

[@KarroNil]

The cheese slicer is a staple here in Sweden - I think I have like three of them (for different types of cheese) :D Did you know you can also shred cabbage (like in a coleslaw) with it? I've used it to slice cucumber before, but making a coleslaw using the cheese slicer is awesome! You cut the cabbage in half and then use the cheese slicer on the side with the layers facing upwards :D

[@rowanneramsay4397]

Rachel discovering the uk home staple of a toastie machine is wild

[@WeberIMayRoam]

I'm old, and watching the young'uns get excited about an electric can opener just makes me giggle... Like, bro, these have been amazing since 1982, but people thought they were too bulky and got rid of them. Welcome back, electric can openers!

[@janetschiewe6301]

Grilled cheese with ketchup😮genius!!🎉 love tomato soup, why have I never put the two together 😋thank you for being you!!

[@MrzThnss]

Hello, my name is Alicia, huge fan! Been watching you for so many years! Just wanted to say while using the small cutting board for your videos, wet a paper towel, ring it out and place under your cutting board..prevents the board from sliding or don't, just helpful tip, unless your board isnt flat already then wont work, hope that makes sense🥰🥰

[@TeganHort]

I have been in the hospital over 4 months and OMG the sandwiches 😊

[@JoSnyder31]

My favorite grill cheese sandwich is cooking 2 hot dogs ( cut the long way and become 4 halfs) and cheese.

[@aprilvinyard1900]

How excited she gets over an electric can opener. Kills me. 😂 I've had an under. The counter electric can opener for like 20 years and I. Refuse to replace it because you cannot get one like this anymore. L o l

[@bookish_heather]

Rachel having a religious experience eating a sandwich is hilarious 😂

[@isabellachristoffersen8266]

The cheese slicer is a Norwegian invention and you can find at least one in every Scandinavian home. You can also slice cucumbers with it, but that's a different technique

[@heidimeinzer5773]

Cheese grater grated cheese. Potato/carrot peeler :) you can also use an apple corer to remove seeds ;)

[@IsabellT87]

You use that cheese slicer with a softer cheese, like gouda 😉 We eat gouda cheese in norway everyday on sandwiches, its a norwegian invetion 😅 We use the cheeseslicer on gouda ncs its so soft, its hard to get thin enough slices to eat on one slice of bread 😅

[@Cmoneyrules]

got a Kamala add while watching you. My day is complete!

[@nicoleandringa4614]

I love that sandwich maker. My mom had one when we were kids. The grilled cheese sandwiches were delicious. Now it's somewhat nostalgic for me.

[@DinoParadise264]

I had one growing up to. We use to put sliced hot dogs with mustard and cheese. So good. Now I have one as an adult and it's so nice not to have to use a pan/utensils to make my sammies

[@SweetAshGamer]

18:00 must have been a good sammich! 🤣🤣

[@jellybean6567]

Love the sandwich maker!!! I have had one since I was 15, I am 50'ish now. When my kids were little and now with my grandkids, I cut hotdogs lengthwise and put them on regular sandwich bread ( buttered on outside) put piece of ehqzn

[@BriArya16]

Unrelated to the gadgets but your hair is looking LUSCIOUS and so shiny👍🏼👍🏼

[@Des-f1j]

Wow, like Rachel, I’m completely baffled by the onion cutter. That’s astonishing! 😱 Also, very impressive skills for matching the picture, Rachel. 💪 You definitely nailed it. 👍

[@martenoring]

As a Norwegian coming from the land that invented the Ostehøvel in 1925 («cheese slicer”), I am deeply offended😂 All Scandinavians have at least one of those in their kitchen (we have 3 and we use them every day!). The story behind it is that we eat a lot of open sandwiches and we always use very little toppings on them. Two slices of cheese is perfect for one slice of bread, and don’t you dare put extra on it, your parents will go crazy😂. Packages with sliced cheese is fairly new(it didn’t exist in my childhood, I’m 40yo) and more expensive in Norway. You should know that in Norway we only use it for three types of cheese: all brown cheeses, our most beloved cheese: Norvegia and the cheese you should have tried it on, because it’s available in the US: Jarlsberg. No go get yourself a jarlsberg and ONE slice of bread and think of all the meals you can make out of one single block of cheese😎

[@carolinewhite11]

I vote you test a raclette with your friends! Like a table grill .. everyone brings an ingredient/sauce.. it’s so good

[@nabeel7479]

U made those sandwiches look so good.. im starving😭

[@marenparker6145]

My family has used a cheese slicer my whole life and I CANNOT live without one! They're Scandinavian which is where my family is from originally and they've been passed down!

[@tjbrat44]

The jalapenos are outstanding with a soft white cheese baked inside!!!

[@miikaniemitalo5551]

you can found cheese slicer from every home in Finland....you can also slice cucumbers with it

[@hardingsioban]

Does the queen herself respond? Love you Rachel 💜 i always watch you on my work breaks

[@Kinsleysmama2021]

You should try a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the sandwich maker. It sounds weird but it’s so so so good.

[@RamblingCali]

I lived on that sandwhich maker growing up. My go-to was tomato sauce & mozz for a pizza sandwhich. 👨‍🍳🤌😘

[@ginabell694]

Ive had a george forman grill for years. It makes great grilled cheeses. Soooooo good. I currently live with my sis and her family. Idk what thier gonna do when u move into a new apartment cuz its coning with me. Its the small version but itll fit the sourdough bread. And its so easy to wipe down after each use.

[@morganfern29]

At our house, we have an electric can opener as well. We also have a hand one, but rarely ever use the hand one. My mom uses the can opener a lot. Almost daily.

[@littleshadow7706]

Idea, do more videos like this where u get abbie or joy or other people in your life to choice the products then they have something useful in there life that they wanted and u get content.

[@CampbellTatham]

Bruh that peeler with the special long thin things would be great for making vege noodles

[@wendys9713]

Please test the stuffler, Rachel. Who would not love a stuffed waffle? Sweet- banana and Nutella. Savory- cheese, green onion, and mashed potato. So many options. Please confirm for me that this is a smart buy!!!!!!’❤

[@AlissaPaige91]

🎉🎉 OG FAN 🎉🎉

[@poida7586]

That toasted sandwich is a Jaffle!! Great with baked beans or canned spaghetti

[@PrincessPeyten]

I think you are a master in the kitchen because I remember the video you did when you made the oven baked cookie s’mores that’s my favorite video so don’t say you’re not a master in the kitchen when you are I love you Rachel😁😁😁

[@samfamvlogs5139]

It's the Julianne carrots mental.😂

[@hollymarie113]

8:03 - 8:06 if pause correctly. Like Bugs Bunny but with a cucumber 😂

[@goodluck7327]

@18:31 you see the doggies at the far right, i watched them, so cute

[@katetomlinson1638]

The other side of the carrot peeler can be used for salad fixings orrr for the uh coleslaw stuff too! I’m unsure if that’s vegan so idk if you vibe with it but ppl love it lol

[@amandaneilly9587]

Chicken cheese and bbq sauce toasties r bomb! Also there’s one that has interchangeable plates that do waffles, toasties or paninnis on amazon! The plates come out for easier cleaning and you can cook loads of things on it

[@leahstumm9662]

Wow! Your brain!🤣

[@MysticJewel43]

With raw onion, you get a piece of paper towel, wet it, fold it.. Then place the wet paper towel on the chopping board near the onion, slice as normal.. The onion fumes will not affect your eyes...

[@abigailm126]

the auto can opener is great for left handed people too because normal can openers are designed for right handed people

[@sachalief]

Every householt in the netherlands has a cheese shaver/slicer. Very passionate ❤

[@kasiasu6524]

dear rachel if you like good sandwich you have to try Tefal snack collection. you can make wafels, panini or whatever it comes in your mind. Love ya 🫶🏻

[@lorib7348]

Pro tip. Wet paper towel between the cutting board and the counter will make it so the board does not move around

[@flipswithmorgan9866]

You have got to try a pb&j in the sandwich press! It is the best!!!

[@erinobrien3291]

It's not a deluxe sandwich maker that's a Jaffle iron. We gre up eating these in australia. Baked Beans and tin spaghetti ones are also awesome. Pizza sauce, ham cheese and pineapple is my favourite. Also never use baking paper, just clean it, they don't come out the same.

[@egogiirl]

As some people have already commented the cheese slicer is for hard cheese (blocks) and I guess every household in Northern Europe have at least one at home. It was (for real) the first thing I bought when I moved out of my parents. (Okay, I didn't buy one, I stole my favorite one from them..)

[@haileekroner6507]

My George Foreman is machine washable 🤩

[@taliaspov]

that cheese knife is called a planer, and it is used to scrape mold off of cheese :)

[@martenoring]

Whaaaaaat? Mold? No. Planer, yes. It’s the most important tool (also invented in Norway)for making breakfast, lunch and supper in Norway. Perfect thin slices of cheese for all your open sandwiches. 😂👌🏻

[@taliaspov]

@@martenoring that’s what we do with it in the U.S. i work in a cheese shop at a grocery store that’s what we use it for. but i can also see how it makes nice thin slices

[@greyskys23]

love that the toastie machine said delux when that literally looks like my basic british one i got dead cheap 😅 you need the shitty basic white bread and you should butter the outside of the bread and i absolutely never clean mine, i just occasionally wipe it over with a paper towel

[@erwinignacio6453]

Good Afternoon Rachel, love eating food, and cheese. Will cutting onion that way, still make you cry?; love your channel.

[@sarah78119]

Knife sharpener on can opener ** As far as I know, one should use a forward motion only, and one can test it on a piece of paper ✌💫

[@Des-f1j]

Rachel, could you please consider becoming the host of a cooking (podcast) channel for people with ADHD? 😄 I think you’d do an awesome job, just like you do in your kitchen gadget videos and livestreams. 🤗 And it’d definitely be much more accessible, relatable, and enjoyable than anything that’s already out there. ☺️

[@phoenixclaxton]

Crazy to be as an Irish person that a toastie machine isn’t a normal thing on the US😂 and that it’s considered deluxe 😂 no house hold doesn’t have a toastie maker😂

[@dannydanny9875]

She's in Heaven

[@MonkeyQueen39]

Lol...i don't butter or grease my sammich maker...😂😂😂😂😂

[@Coco12769]

My favorite is this video

[@gamingroyal3866]

We call them toasties in the uk love u Rachel x x

[@kimberlyhernandez8691]

Really thought that was cheese on your nose lol but it’s your piercing 😂❤️

[@NJLIFEHACKER]

......it can go BOTH WAYS! lol

[@shaunythoreson2006]

I have that exact same sandwich maker

[@mindoffriday]

The "Cheese Knife" is not a new invention... That is what we in Sweden (and other Nordic countries) use for our cheeses and have been doing for sooooooo long!

[@moonbaby2212]

Little tip put a wet cloth under your cutting board and it won’t move

[@klmc91]

And I’ve had a sandwich machine almost 20yrs try making stuffed pizza like ones 😊

[@crazyjenksbabylove]

You can make little pies with the sandwich maker

[@lynnejohnston8922]

BIG THANK YOU Rachel for once again pulling out another absolutely awesome video as always your videos never disappoint us all💕and i would like to take the time out to appropriate all the hard work that you put into making all these awesome videos as always you put in a 💯 percent in every single video that you post and i would also like to take the time out to thank Rachel for making my nights so happy just sitting down ❣️ watching all her fantastic videos i absolutely love watching Rachel testing out stuff so we don't have to buy it💞 as it saves money especially when they don't work so thank Rachel you are a absolutely beautiful person with a heart of gold 💛i hope Abbie is keeping well and staying safe Abbie is a absolutely fantastic person with a heart of gold 💛as well i hope all the dogs and cat 🐕🐕🐕🐈are keeping well 🙏🙏🙏 we love you guys so much 💞 keep up the fantastic work Rachel..,,

[@nightowl1726]

The George Forman grill that has the changeable plates one has grill one is just flat and I can’t remember the other one but it makes the best grilled sandwich’s and you can use any bread you like because it doesn’t have the triangle shape and if you’re try to eat healthier like less butter you don’t need it the sandwich still gets nice and crispy IMHO IT’S THE BEST WAY to make a hot sandwich specially grilled cheese but I’ve done ham and cheese turkey bacon cheddar cheese and ranch or some times granny apple slices BLT endless combos and a little healthier depending on if you use butter or not and whatever else you put on the sandwich and you can take the changeable plates out and put them in the dishwasher or wash by hand

[@Tomiply]

You used the completely wrong type of cheese for the cheese knife. It's meant for harder cheese.

[@rachelpeters7979]

It's called a toasty maker in the UK

[@leahstumm9662]

I want the onion thingy.

[@Angelahooward276]

We have a chease knife thing it even has a bord you put the cheese on and a knife

[@MeandMyHappyRidgebacks]

I think this cheese "knife" is in every Finnish household :D How else you can slice perfectly thin slices on your bread.

[@katetomlinson1638]

Hey just a tip, I always let my partner know when I sharpen the knives so they don’t accidentally take their fingernails off
