Detachable head system for the salt fork might work. Save money on materials, since the handle is a massive amount of salt that seemingly might get wasted once prongs dissolve. The coupling system would require some work, but then you could sell replacement heads, customized bases, and allow for customers to re-buy salt fork for a cheaper cost per time.

Considering its a thing you consume (food, basically), its 'quite' expensive but also I totally can see someone buying it on occasion as well. Or, you know, super wealthy buying it regularly because they can't be bothered to salt their food lol.
@@ronmka8931Yeah as much as I’d love to support Ben I’m not sure how long these salt forks will actually last. There’s also the obvious thing of how a salt fork isn’t necessary as you could always salt food with a normal fork.
@@wintonnguyen yeah the main issue is these things arent gonna last very long and could snap during use for $21 isnt exactly the best purchase to make. There has to be a cheaper way of making these things and its not like the handle needs to be salt.
As a self-proclaimed and so-far-undisputed primary expert on all things salt, I'm here to tell you that your salt is not salty enough. You're welcome and stay salty.
i feel like the handle may go to waste. you could create one with a reusable handle where only the head of the fork is made of salt, and the handle could just be held in by friction or maybe have a screw on the end or something.
yeah, he could sell one handle with three or four exchangeable fork heads and it'll be a lot more worth for both him and the customer. in fact, the cuts will probably be a lot more easier without having to fit the handle in for each slice of salt. possible upscaling from 16 to 32 per operation.
The problem with that is how you attach it. I don't think that the salt has the friction or strength to be a friction fit, and a screw would require a completely different setup and be harder to produce.
All I could think of when watching this video is how I would rather make some sort of contraption that crystallizes a fairly thick layer of salt on an actual metal fork from a saturated salt solution. A rechargable salt fork, if you will.
If you ever would want to get these into restaurant or get it to an actual scalable product I would suggest changing the design a bit so that you only have to cut out the end of the fork with the actual prongs and then having a custom handle that the fork slides and clamps into. Would reduce materials used by at least half since the handle doesn’t have to be made out of salt anyways. In any case a super cool idea and congrats on figuring everything out, it’s amazing how much improvement there is from your first successful fork.
.... Why wouldn't you just create an extremely high concentration slurry with an evaporative medium such as you know water... And evaporate off the solvent into a mold, you could make tens of thousands of these things simultaneously with molds and the sun🤣
Loved the first video last year, and I absolutely love that you’ve gone all in with these! Just ordered 2 and I wish you the best of luck man, looking forward to what’s next!
@@partiallyfrozen3425 what kind of maniac would make fork out of metal? Maybe one day this guy will try that too. These kids and their new-fangled ideas, I swear! Metal forks.
@@partiallyfrozen3425 Since the salt fork melts away as it is used, it wouldn't be useful as a permanent reusable utensil like metal. Take-out or delivery from restaurants will often include utensils that are usually only used once. For the millions of take-out orders people get from restaurants every day, this could be a good alternative to the plastic ones that are often used today. I will say though that the places that use wooden ones are probably the better choice since much more wood is produced than salt based on a brief internet search. I could see restaurants that want to differentiate themselves offering this for their take-out / delivery instead. It would be cool to get salt utensils with take-out one day.
Bought it immediately, I can't believe how long I've lived with my culinary vision fogged. Ignorance is my palate. We simply can not fathom the impact of this mark of innovation. This purchase will bring me, and many others, to taste nirvana. Pure enlightenment awaits us.
