The cheese slicer (ostehøvel in Norwegian, osthyvel in Swedish) is a Norwegian invention. Every household in Norway and Sweden have at least one. I have two. A plastic bag over the saddle is common here in Sweden, too.
Kaasschaaf 3x: one regular, one for young (softer) cheese, and one for grating. Flessenlikker 2x: one for (1 liter) bottles, and a shorter one for smaller bottles and jars. Oh, and no verjaardagskalender (excellent word for Scrabble).
As a Brit who's been to the Netherlands many times, I have a verjaardagskalender and I regularly use a kaasschraaf. A good idea is a good idea no matter where it originated. I do think I need to get a flessenlikker to get to the bottom of all the jars.
Have you ever noticed that the "flessenlikker" has a very special type of plastic at the end. It is "slow" plastic that if bent it slowly retakes its form, without splashing the content all around.
I have also three kaasschaven! My parents lived in Iraq, Morocco and Tunesie. Guess what whe had Santa Claus, Black Peet and always 3 or more kaasschaven.
New here. Start paying your editor, lol. On the other hand, your less-than-perfect videos are a breath of fresh air in youtube land and also utterly charming. So, now I have to watch all your stuff. Thanks again for the recommendation, youtube. ;-)
We use dutch cheese slicers in my family as we emigrated to Canada when I was a child. My son will study in Utrecht in September and I asked him if he wanted to bring our cheese slicer so he would feel at home. Hahahaha
the Washandjes are as old fashioned in the Netherlands as they are in other country's i remember them from my grandparents and my father but its getting harder to find them. I do not know one person around me that uses them.
An "Ostehøvel" in Norweigan where its origin is, though commonly known in English as a cheese slicer or funny enough a Swedish cheese knife "Osthyvel". As a Nordic, one is astonished how bad most hard cheeses south of the Baltic and North sea are.
Yup, the *kaasschaaf* is not Dutch. Except for the The Hague type that produces the thinnest slices possible. Speaking of which, *Haags bakkie* is a coffee cup with the capacity of an Italian espresso cup. Except that its used for weak watery coffee.
Old Gouda cheese is the best hard cheese, no competition. I want it so hard you cant even cut it with a knife, it just falls apart in chunks. Delicious. On bread, on toast, on your pasta, or as part of a cheese platter.
The 'washandje' must be invented by that one Dutch guy, in prison, who hated when he dropped his soapbar, one to many times. That's why the world knows the term 'smartass'. Don't know if that's a fact, but it's a good explanation. 😂
I have been told that the 'kaasschaaf' in fact is a Swedish invention, adopted by the Dutch.
It’s in fakt a Norwegian invention.
@@streetlinepeter9360 Aha?
It is from Norway
It doesn’t matter, we made money out of it.
There is a factory ( GIAX ) in Norway that makes them for o.a. HEMA 😉
Ik gebruik de kaasschaaf ook voor de komkommer. 😊
Ik ook!!!
Same
Aardappel ook
MeToo!
Ook het schillen van wortelen.
De kaasschaaf-rasp is ook werelds!
I did enjoy it and I do feel smarter because I now am!
Gracias
The cheese slicer was a Norwegian invention, by the way.
The flessenlikker and kaasschraaf are must-haves for foodies..!

@@GunnarCreutz I live in Sweden and actually have 3 cheese slicers.

Kaasschaaf is also handy to slice cucumber, carrots, apples et cetera.
De kaasschaaf is ook ook goed voor "huidtransplantaties"
@@roelandriemens 😆
Dutch guy here. Have been living in Spain for 40 years. Only have 1 of your items: The kaasschaaf.
When I emigrated to Canada I took a kaasschaaf with me but, to my surprise, they sell them there too 😀
De kaasschaaf gebruik ik ook voor wortels en appels en uien
Uien heb ik nog niet geprobeerd, ga ik zeker doen. 👍🏽😊

Only when it is new. The plastic hardens a little over time.
@@ronaldderooij1774 I left the Netherlands 35 years ago and brought my "flessenlikker", it still works as it should!
I loved the bottle licker! I want one!
❤ From Norway
I have also three kaasschaven! My parents lived in Iraq, Morocco and Tunesie. Guess what whe had Santa Claus, Black Peet and always 3 or more kaasschaven.
Thank you for sharing! I'm watching from New Netherland :)
I think we have 7 cheese slisers. Just because we can.

@@juanitao722 It's not Dutch cheese slicers. They are Norwegian and have nothing to do with the Netherlands!!!!
The cheeseslicer has been available here in the UK for years and years!!
There wasn't much that was Dutch from what she listed! They usually say that Bluetooth is a Dutch invention. But it was Ericson who invented it.
Do you have only 3 cheese slices? I have 5 or 6
❤ From Norway
Can't live without a kaasschaaf. 😂
the Washandjes are as old fashioned in the Netherlands as they are in other country's i remember them from my grandparents and my father but its getting harder to find them. I do not know one person around me that uses them.
Hema. That's not hard to find.
Action sells them by the dozens.
What are you talking about? Every store that sells towels will also sell washandjes. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't have them.
They are a cheap and reusable way to scrub, so I don’t get why people in ould not use them more often.
ik heb er zelfs 2, 1voor m,n gezicht en 1 voor m,n kont.Verschillende kleuren natuurlijk,anders haal ik ze door elkaar.
Dutch economics!
This is how the Dutch got rich cent by cent!
You are funny!😂
sorry "washandjes" are not difficult to find in France ! you can find them in supermarkets.
If you want a realy good "kaasschaaf" buy them from your local cheeseshop/specialist, or just go straight for Boska cheeseplanes.
leuke video, dank

@@qwertyuio266 Heresy! Prepare to be invaded. The entire world will eat our cheese and you're gonna like it!
I mis de ,, spaarpot " in all Dutch houses you can find it , speciale for the kids the learning the Save money
Well, not any more, our government made sure of that.
many countries use piggy banks, so it's not really only a Dutch thing

Grappig zeg.....pfffff.
Sorry but cheeseslicer Not Dutch. It's a Norwegian invention by a carpenter! Has absolutely nothing to do with Holland!
Sorry to disappoint you. This Dutchman living in Suriname doesn't own any of those five - and didn't before he emigrated either.
Surprised you never owned a kaasschaaf that’s like…a basic Dutch tool
I prefer a knife. Thicker slices.
