The reason that the first cherry pitter only worked half the time is because back in the 1900's cherry's were 15%-25% smaller than cherry's today because since then selective breeding has made them bigger and more delicious than cherry's from more than 50+ years ago. Edit: The fry cutter proves my point
the most interesting part of this video is the shift from solid metal products to plastic to metal. and consistently the metal mechanical ones win. (yes the slap chop existed multiple times and got reinnovated)
notice how the older ones are just simple and dont need electricity? They are devices that get straight to the point and do the job without excessive details. Simplicity to its finest.
Well as time goes on, there’s gonna be less and less things to design without electricity. Everything that was a demand and “straight to the point” has pretty much already been done.
I used mine yesterday. I have the huge one and even new it never smelled. I like the flavor off a grill better but this is nice when I'm in a hurry-and works fast on frozen food like chicken breasts or patties.
It was really convenient for a quick meal. I'd just go to Costco and grab a frozen bag each of burger patties, boneless chicken breasts, and salmon fillets. Pair it with rice and / or some steamed veggies. I still have one packed away that had all sorts of removable grill types. Loved that thing and it never smelled of plastic.
My mum used a Sunbeam Vertical Grill, twice every day when I was a kid. For breakfast, she used it instead of a Toaster. For healthy dinners, she'd grill Steak & Fish. It even did a really excellent grilled cheese sandwich. At least 3 gadgets in 1: No need for a Toaster, a Grill or a Sandwich Press!
The Benriner turns clockwise as shown. They are used to cut firm vegetables like Daikon and carrot into long julienne like strands for sashimi garnish. It won't cut onion, tomato etc.
The rise of plastic was definitely cost and availability thing. Back in the 20's when it took a month for an order to get to you, your tools needed to last with little need for maintenance. Now a manufacturer can spend pennies on plastic and replace the product next day. Why bother with quality?
That's not the case there where plenty of low quality tools back then but they didn't survive till today. The ones that did where the exception not the rule.
somebody doesn't know the history of plastic. because guess what? what you think of plastic? hadn't even been invented yet in the 1920's. 1856 Parkesine 1897-1981 Rayon development and perfection of the cellulose processing techniques 1907 Bakelite (good plastic, but INSANELY brittle. you could drop a Bakelite product on a wood floor from chest height and it would snap and shatter) 1927-38 Nylon by DuPont (first successful crude-oil based thermoplastic polymer) 1930's Polystyrene by BASF 1930 Neoprene by DuPont (synthetic rubber, gloves, SCUBA wet-suits) 1933 Polyethylene by Imperial Chemical Industries 1941 Polyethylene terephthalate by Calico Printers' Association. licensed to ICI and DuPont as the first plastic replacement for glass in bottles and containers. 1954 Polypropylene by Giulio Natta began manufacturing in 1957 (can be spun out as a thread and woven into clothing) 1954 Expanded polystyrene by Dow Chemical (packing peanuts and those white foam cups) so as you can see by my HIGHLY simplified timeline... the plastic 'container' wasn't invented till 1941! 21 YEARS later than you thought.
When there used to be "Dime stores" there was often a man demonstrating these products, who had the voice and cadence of a carnival huckster. They were pretty entertaining, and sold a lot of these items. Later, you'd see them on TV.
OK, I’ve had two George Foreman grills and they worked perfectly every single time. There are cinch to clean, and if you’re trying to grill food in a kitchen, they work perfectly.
I use the pineapple cutter to make smoothies in my food truck. Don't cut off the bottom, and make the pineapple skin into a cup. Use kitchen sheers to cut the core out without puncturing the cup.
The chopper in the jar with the wood was great. We used to use it for nuts. Usually walnuts for dessert toppings. Noone back then would have used that for apples and tomatos
I saw the donut maker, jumped straight to my shopping app and ordered one. Its gonna deliver tomorrow, my brother's gonna love this, hopefully it works on my end.
I was born in '92 and I remember my grandma going through a microwave gadget phase🤣. If there was a gadget that could go into the microwave, she bought it.
What alot of these prove, is that we tried to fix stuff that weren't broken. Also the george foreman grill actually is a fantastic little device. Maybe should've ran it a bit to get the chemicals off before you tried it (unless you did prior, cuts hide stuff like that so no clue if you did or not, just guessing as to why it might have smelled so bad).
some of these things are still made. the apple peeler thing has been around way longer than the 80's. smash burgers used to be called hamburgers. it's how i remember them in the 70's before frozen patties replaced hand made. love your presentation.
I like whacking it on the counter to make it pop open. I learned to make sure you peel the outer paper off unless you want to stand there and whack the tube on the counter all day.
@@mieander I've had that one happen as well. Forgot mine on the counter as well and a while after, we heard a loud pop and I ran into the kitchen to find that the can had "exploded" with such force, there were biscuits on the ceiling above the counter. 🤣
Ah yes, a half-hour infomercial (complete with excited expressions when the thing works as advertised) showing the steady degradation in the quality of kitchen gadgets over the course of a century.
Just don't cut the bottom of the pineapple off and pull up on the handle before you go all the way through the bottom. I use that tool all the time for my tiki drinks!
my mom used to have one of those french fry cutters and i still remember how hard it was to cut the potatoes, it made you feel like you deserved the fries 😂
I like the way he uses the 1900's as a faraway time in the past...I was born, and spent the majority of my life, way back in the 1900's, 🤣! C'mon, people in their 40's aren't THAT old, right?
@awangthier407 I've always done it one handed I think people who don't cook as much use 2 or smaller hands idk maybe they learned it that way as a kid, but not me
The older products didn't have all the warnings on them because people weren't total idiots back then like many people seem to be today. You didn't give the George Foreman Grill a fair shot.
Debatable at best people were smarter in some ways back then but were definitely total idiots people are technically smarter now than humans ever have been but dumber in ways that technology made easier we aren't having to do all these manual tasks so naturally we forgot how to do it over the generations but no people were definitely total idiots back then just not as lazy I mean they were dumb
Example I'm a millennial 87 my generation was the most intelligent generation we peaked and gen alpha is the least intelligent generation so far we've essentially went back to the stone age due to laziness
Iterations of many of these are still available. People who live an unplugged lifestyle often use these. The grater is still used at Olive Garden for cheese. The grapefruit corer I have not seen but it looks like a good idea.
"This grinder is sick! Why don't we have these around anymore?" ...We totally have those around and have for years - in fact, they're super common, you can get even in gas stations all across America. But, uhh...nobody uses them for food prep...
some stuffs like the George Foreman Grill and the toaster-like stuffs needs one or two runs with no food first and clean it up.. the runs afterwards should not have the plasticky smell. if I'm going fancy I'd say one or two "seasoning" runs first.
It's funny how cooking has changed over the past 100 years. My dad has some cook books that belonged to my grandmother from the 1930-50s that don't have cooking temperatures since ovens didn't have thermostats or timers back then.
A lot of those new gadgets say to run them a cycle or two before use to get rid of that plastic smell. Even my new toasters said to run it empty 3 times before use.
For sure, it doesnt take a genius to figure that out but evedintily it doesnt take a genious to to be youtube famous. Altho nick might be a genious at cooking, he seems like hes not very good at anything else.
To be honest these stirring devices are actually decent if they would work as intended, because imagine making a risotto and not having to stand by all the time and do the stirring. you could be so productive.
Yes and they usually have a suction cup instead of clamped ont the bench. Krisk has made the bean slicing tool since 1923 in australia. You can buy then at Bunnings. The razor blade on the end faces inwards so much safer.
A kooking tip for the bacon take two paper towels and place the bacon on top take two more paper towels and place them in a microvave. Put it in for 4-8 min depending on how do you want it cooked take it out and enjoy You will hear some pooping from the bacon 🥓 I have done it and it worked perfectly fine Nick Digiovanni please 🙏 try 🙏 Love your content ✨️

I loved making fries with the metal fry cutter. I used it with both my grandma and mother. Made the best fries. No, potatoes weren’t smaller. We cut them in half. And the chopper we used for nuts all the time. Grandma made lots of cookies.

So true

Well as time goes on, there’s gonna be less and less things to design without electricity. Everything that was a demand and “straight to the point” has pretty much already been done.
And now we don’t need 10 different tools for different food, it may not be as simple but it sure is nice having one machine for multiple purposes.
To be fair, even up into the 50s and 60s, there was a large portion of the population that still didn’t have electricity and indoor plumbing
Just a thought but I think the slice a slice was for the Great Depression because bread was expensive so they had to eat small amounts of it
Ohh yeahh you're right
Or for a diet🤓
bread was always one of the cheapest products around, no matter when,its great depression or war, what you are talking about?
Still not accessible if u have no money thata why its called great depression @@flyagaric007

As for the George Foreman, you have to wash it first, then run a burger through it first. The plastic smell goes away. They truly do work really well.

You are supposed to clean the George Forman and let it run empty after cleaning.
Do not cut the bottom of the pineapple and you have all the juice in the bottom and you can use the husk for drinks.
