I think if it was stainless steel and had some sort of quick release it wouldn't be that bad
Cord Cutter Lifestyle and Tech yup might also suggest spraying pan on it before use
Yes! It's like the concept is fine and might work but it's made out of wrong material. Not worth $30
I think the same.
ya seemed like the main issues was bluntness of the plastic wedges and friction holding cake pieces in when transfering.
I think something like this would work well or has potention too but in reality you only need 1 blade after the first cut so some sort of stop to alright it after the first cut would be great.
Would beable to do those cuts alot faster with a knife either case.
You made me laugh!
I really liked the design of the box it came in. Shaped and decorated like a slice of cake, neat packaging. That's all I can say about this product. 😔
Pope I used to work for the company that made perslice and I designed that packaging. That product is a joke. The first time I saw the invention I laughed and asked why anyone would need that when a knife worked better.
30 slices! 😂 If you want a piece that small don't bother!
That's what I was thinking!
Really. Imagine handing that to someone at a party. "Happy birthday Billy. Here's your cake." SMH
@@katr7969 😂😂😂😂
Honestly, those are probably the size we all SHOULD be eating. But who wants that?
wceverhart I wouldn't mind having a slice like that, I'm not big on sweets so that small piece would be just enough to curb my sweet tooth haha
That 30-slice looks like a passive-aggressive way of letting someone know they shouldn't have been invited to the party! 😂
Absolutely amazing product no one will ever need
I'm with you on this one. Just use a wide knife and a cup of warm water to keep knive clean between slicing. 😉
It's not about the clean cut it's more for parties. Not everyone is good at cutting cakes or pies. I for sure am one of those people. I also know that this would be great for my huge family at any holiday. Now is it a little stupid. YES.
@@calebelson1 anytime you need a cake cut just let me know. 😉 I'm a party planner. Sliced many cakes, wedding cakes are my favorites to serve. It takes lots of practice but loads of fun too.
Anything to help a new friend out, no charge 😊
@@busterswif Hey man I'll totally let you know. I can do but man does it suck lol.
Haha. Yep it seems like things I sit around and dream up and either realize is useless or has already been made. Butter cup. Only thing that frustrates me about it are the holes. Damn. A lot of cleaning. At first I was thinking well you could wipe it fast between slicing but even that's out with all the holes.
You where cutting at the 9 inch line starting from the 4th slice on o3o that's what caused the spiral size shrinkage effect. it's also what caused the middle to disappear as much
Came here to say this.... Still love the channel though!
thats one way to make 30 people angry
"How long is this going to take to cut me a &@*% slice of cake? I have a business meeting in Geneva in 1 hour. I don't have time for this crap!"
That's the size slice my best friend refers to as a "slice" of pie. I told him it was a "sliver" of pie. Sliver.
Man, I don't even know 30 people personally
Now I want cake...
Trishia Eubanks --😆#MeToo!!
Judy Wright I don't think that's the right hashtag for this situation lmao
I'm glad I bought some sliced Lemon Cake before I saw this video. They are all uniform slices, and I didn't have to slice them.
...and pie.
Who comes up with this junk and thinks its good enough to sell?
There are millions of stupid products like this that never make it to retail. The retailers that are dumb enough to buy them end up putting them on the clearance section where no one will buy them until they are actually as cheap as they're worth.
Quite a few millionaires apparently.....lol
China and Taiwan. Don't even start on Japan weird inventions
👍
Ok
It looks like an alien tool used to harvest my organs
You know that even though he didn't show it this time, he took extreme care washing this slicer before first use. His mastery of washing things gently as if it were a newborn child is simply legendary. Please make a warm soapy water compilation!
I've been itching to see someone cut an entire cake with this. Thanks!
Do people actually have enough difficulty cutting a cake that they need or want this?
It's a good concept, but the tool's build quality is garbage.
Hi thanks not Worth $30
Not worth paying me $30 to get it off the store shelf & into my boneyard (landfill).
@@kevinthetruckdriver353 : Kevin! You been huffin' go go juice fumes too long? Ha! You pay them $30. Man, those e logs drivin' ya off the edge? But, I do like the idea....$30 in your back pocket & that thing to da bone yrd. Oh, remember....a trucker brung that! Gad! Can you imagine? Be safe driver. 👍👍👍
@@danrowley6934 please learn punctuation.
@@VineyardGHS don't be a downer
I would rather buy 2-3 cakes with the $30 instead.
Angry plastic creaking when you use it for it's intended purpose: the best sign of "quality"
Okay, as an ex Chef(& ex Pastry Chef) I find this hilarious 😂, in looks, function, & usage. Myself, I look for kitchen gadgets that can do more than one task, as space is not infinite in a kitchen. Second, to cut a perfect slice of pie, cake, pizza, etc etc; you always wanna make 3-4 cuts(slices) & then take out the center most "slice" first; with cleaning the blade before a new cut(depending on desert, having blade in warm or hot water & wiping off water before slicing, can greatly help). This method should pretty much always yield a "perfect" looking desert without any crumbling/tearing/mushing/etc....& can all be done with a chef knife, or basic kitchen butter knife if all you have.
This does look interesting, but just isn't for me; as takes up too much kitchen real estate, & has basically only 1 function. It also looks as if it's just "pushing" through the cake(or desert), an actually "cutting" the cake(desert). But hey, if works for you & like, as makes your life easier....SUPER👍🏻
Cheers, A

Vivian tries barely reads the directions as well. I stopped watching bc she failed so many products I personally know work for simply failing to read. She actually says "ain't nobody got time for that."
I stopped watching him because of his inability to read even the shortest instruction manual. The straw that broke the camel's back was the hydropower phone charger, it only works one way and the box shows what it looks like and he still put it in backwards and then claimed that it was a bad design...
@@blargkliggle1121 Such a disservice to the companies whose owners perhaps took out a second mortgage on their homes to bring to market. I alway think about the responsibility that reviewers have to those that sacrifice so much to bring a product to market. Also, what's up with his hands shaking so much lately? Vodka much, Mr. Kul? :)
I cannot stand that guy. His videos are so annoying. I love this channel though!
Lol, sad but true, I much prefer Freakin Reviews! This channel is great!
Now I want cake thanks
I have a wedge and square (sheet) cake cutter I got from Tupperware back in the 90’s. The best one I ever saw was one from the 60’s that was two pieces of thin, lightly sharpened steel on a flexible solid “hinge” at the tapered wedge end: it allowed you to adjust the size of the slice, serve it, and opened easily for cleaning and serving.
I just wanted to let you know that I just finished binge watching all of your videos, and even made a list of products that I want to get also.
The videos are getting better and better. So far I did order the ratchet belt, and I love it.
I like that you review everyday products, that I always see either on TV or in stores, and I'm always weary of "is thing gonna work or am I just throwing my money away"
I agree that you don't have to yell and scream at the camera to get your point across. The cross between funny and informative commentary in your videos, make them very enjoyable to watch.
Keep up the good work, and much success to you.
I appreciate your kind words Robert! I'm glad you enjoy my videos.
If you want the perfect cake slice just use a piece of dental floss
*Want the perfect slice??* Ask the bakery to slice it before you bring the cake home. *No mess. No fuss.*
@@kevinthetruckdriver353 - do that many people not just make a cake at home? 10 minutes of labor and $3, or no labor and $15.
@@belaayya5094 - the cakes & pies he sliced wasn't baked at home. Those weren't baked by a kids oven using a light bulb either (as seen on TV in the 1970's)
Good idea, just be sure to use the kind that's not coated in mint or else it will absolutely throw off the cake's taste.
@@belaayya5094 In no way these pies shown in the video takes only 10 minutes of labor. You have to set up the kitchen utensils, prepare the dough, check if it's ready baked, prepare a filling, cut the cake layers, assemble the cake, decorate it, do the dishes, store all the stuff back into the drawers. Sure, the baking does the oven, but the time you are involved with actually doing stuff in the kitchen just to get these cakes is way more than 10 minutes.
Can't believe the spatula doesn't go to the middle, the end piece is always falling of first or breaks off because its stuck between two sides. Great video again James!
I'm watching a guy cutting cake
Better than watching him cut the cheese ! 😊
@@kengamble8595 go home, Dad.
Is this the new thing? No more unboxing and reviews, now it's just "cake cutting" videos? (joking)
@@chadschmaltz9790
?
@@kengamble8595 you made a "dad joke", that's all.
Well, we know this will be a 2019 contender for worst products. If you can't slice a piece of cake with a knife, you have bigger issues to worry about. With all that being said, great review James!
nah, not a worst-of. i mean, it at least did what it claimed, even if it wasn't any better (or really even as good as) just a knife. i mean, i'm certainly not saying i recommend it... just that it could have been a lot worse.
@@tzxazrael I mean... The pieces weren't even, and it made the middle of the cake disappear... It only works on *some* cakes and nothing else. It's huge, it's plastic and it didn't do any better than a regular knife or a ***FREE*** Disposable plastic restaurant knife. A knife that restaurants give you to take home and throw away; AKA garbage. The perslice is LITERALLY WORSE THAN GARBAGE and it cost $30 and probably isn't recyclable.
@@JC-fj7oo i gotta disagree about the plastic fast food knife... idk, maybe you've got a lot better disposable knives where you are, but the ones i've seen you'd drive your knuckles into most cakes. and yea, i already said it wasn't the BEST cake slicer out there... just saying it isn't the worst, either. it cut the cake, it gets the minimum passing mark. it certainly didn't do a great job of it, so no better than the minimum, but it does at least do the basic job it claims to. "worst of the year" is for products that literally can't do the job they claim to be made for, like if it had failed to survive the dishwasher... or mashed the cake flat instead of cutting, or somehow burst into fire despite having no power source.
I bet it's easier to use for people with disabilities though, like maybe Parkinsons or Arthritis. Qq
"Hey guys! I brought the ultimate cake slicer!"
*Sees a sheet cake
:(
Wow, something that could have taken 30 seconds took about 15 minutes. No sale.
I want some of that first cake. I was so glad when you ate that piece because that’s what I would’ve done too. The 30 slice option, that’s just ridiculous. Thanks for the review😃
I agree that cakes can be a headache, but apart from wedding cakes, who could possibly be trying to get that many slices. Thanks for exposing this, James.
How about that bulbhead face pore vacuum thing. It'd be cool to see u review that!
That whole cake is 1 slice for me. Get your own.
After every few slice cuts try dipping it in a bowl of hot water. That's how they usually do it at cafes or restaurants with a regular knife.
Another wonderful review!
I wish I had waited a week or two to watch this video. I just happened to "slice" open my finger today and had a trip to the urgent care clinic to have it closed up. It was so odd when you held up the knife, my finger started to really throb again and also my arm where I had a tetanus shot. The power of suggestion can be pretty strong. And on top of all of that the product was a fail. LOL
I hope it healed nicely! :(
@@corettaha7855 Thank you. It was on a knuckle so when it bends, I can see and feel the tendon moving back and forth due to scar tissue. The urgent care refused to stitch it up so it didn't heal just right. But thanks anyway.
Yeah, found out personally that many urgent care types don't do stitches.. which is odd given the name, so just goto the ER. At least 10 years ago, haven't tried since.
I just love those videos of you 😂
Some products are so funny
I never buy any of these products lol, i just love to sit back in the dark and watch your videos cause they are educational, soothing with a bit of humor... thanks for another good one!
I love your reviews because you always try to give the item a chance but are always honest about how it actually works. I guess it really helps that you buy all your products too.
I feel like it may have been designed with cheese cakes in mind. It has the hollowed out areas as seen on cheese knives and given the notions of a cheese cake, would be acceptable to split into small servings.
Freakin reviews, more like freakin relaxing voice.
Damn that cake looks good I wish I wasn't doing the whole new years diet thing
why does anyone need a device with this one very specific function???
imagine having such a difficult household that you need this
Another great review. Keep them coming.
That poor pie! 😂
2¢ Chicks --Yeah, how weird is it to feel bad for a mauled pie?🥧
@@judywright4241 giggity
I’m willing to rehome the poor pie.
Tortoise of Doom that pie needs a new bunghole more than anything.
Hi, 2¢ Chicks. Or Hello Ladies Have a Wonderful Day.
Great Review!! Glad to know it's total JUNK!!
Would a the big pizza knife work for cutting cakes and pies better then that?
One good thing about this product is any mess left on table Bailey would LOVE to help clean up!😂❤🐶
How well does it cut eggs?
Love the video. Keep up the great work!
I think is like good for a kindergarten party where the kids count how much slices necessary on a board then get dimensions on the slice and have them cut with it
Create a problem, sell them the solution!
In a restaurant, chefs will usually dip the knife in water to help with cutting consistent and clean slices. I suspect that would help with this device
to get a clean slice each time, wash the knife or Perslice with hot water between each cut. For a knife, use can just use a glass or jug of hot water
Loving the reviews keep it up 😀😀😀
That part at 5:08 when he paused and looks directly at the camera and u know daaam well what he is thinking hahahah he ate that thing up, I actually laughed hard and was enjoying the way he ate it weird but hey I'm not the only one, anyways were is inspector Bailey hahahaha she needed to inspect the cake hahaha
It's going to end-up in your garage. I'll have two slices and butter pecan ice-cream on the side.
If my friend served me a cake slice that small then we wouldn’t be friends anymore.
Who needs a Perslice when you're alone and just eat the whole cake by yourself.
A cheesecake/cake portion ring and a knife would be the best way to get very even slices, and a knife turned sideways can double as a spatula that's basically cake slice shaped (especially the knife you used in this video). The ring however doesn't work well for pies unless you imprint the portion ring into the dough before baking the pie. When cooked, your pie will have perfect portion slice marks for you to cut along.
Will it do rectangular cakes?
This did significantly better than I thought it would. For people that suck with knifes or don't like using knifes to cut cake I think this is good.
The best way to use it would probably be just put the cake size and amount of slices you want into the Perslice, and just press it into the top of the cake and make marks for each slice.
So essentially you use it just to measure the slices.
Then you get a regular knife and cut the pieces normally using the marked lines lol
So I guess you would say it doesn't make the cut????
"Professional" cake slicers ("caterers") know that you have to keep the cutting blade clean between slices. So they usually have a vessel to dip the knife into and a clean cloth to wipe it off between slices.
If you want perfectly even slightly slices, head to amazon and pick up an ateco 1327 cake portion marker. Many bakeries use this to score a cake before cutting it to ensure even pieces. There are other tricks. But this one is fast and super easy. It’s also 11.33 with free prime shipping.
Did you bring enough cake for all of us? On the 14 slice setting please. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Early for once !!😄😄😄 * LOVE YOUR CHANNEL JAMES!!! * 🙌🏻😍🥰
Overly complicated but wonderful packaging
Thanks for the video James, I think the idea is good, but a redesign needed. Maybe if they had a squeeze handle, and when you squeeze the slicers go into a triangle, then upon release the straighten to release the slice. I still think a knife is much faster. Have fun eating the cakes and pie. Have a Great Day, Be safe
That was hilarious. Especially the pie. I say grab a fork and dig in. 🍰
Shouldn't have watched this late at night. Now I want cake as night snack.
Wait... you have to pre-wash your dishes? You should try those dishwasher tablets such as Cascade, Finish, Nature clean, and Ecover, these are just the four brands with the highest ratings I found on Amazon (4-5 🌟 ratings) and just see which ones work best
I know at my house we rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. But definitely don’t scrub like he did
I usually scrub off caked ;) on stuff before we put it in the dishwasher so it doesn’t make it all gross in there
Those work great if you have a lot of dishes to wash quickly. But without rinsing you will need to clean the dishwasher screen more frequently.
I really want a slice of that cake! :P It looks so good!
great review
i wouldnt have the patience for testing that fu**ing thing 😂
keep up those great reviews
greeting from vienna/austria
-Brandi
Was the first cake frozen? Looked like he needed a lot of force to cut it.
That first cake had been in the fridge. The second cake and pie were room temperature.
For really rich cheesecakes at a party I might do the 30slices, but that piece of junk is huge. That's half a drawer to serve cake with "sorta even" pieces. The only reason I could see to use a device like that is in a professional kitchen, but they already have professional slice markers that mark out the even slices and then you cut it with a knife. Then even have pie cutters (at sheri's) that cut the pie and keep the slices separated so the filling doesn't spill.
If I didn't say it before, Happy New Year to you and your family. The best to Bailey, too.
That slicer would make a great White Elephant/gag gift, but not for $20 or $30.
Seems the one place this would be a good solution would be for an individual who only has use of one hand.
Also, the single spatula for moving a skinny slice or a wide slice would seen to be a bad idea, especially if the cake is a dense recipe.
Also, though it may sound uncouth, a pizza wheel is excellent for slicing pie.
Dang it now I want desert. Thanks for the review.
Awesome review buddy
Thanks again for your review.
For just a few bucks get a commercial cake/pie cutter or marker. The marker wouldn't cut the cake, but it helps you make near perfect cuts.
The metal version of this has been out for years, far less complicated without a "spatula", pressing handle together holds cake while moving it. And you dunk it in hot water between cuttings but a knife is far more simple and faster.
Give me a couple of those coconut slices, it looks so good.
america's test kitchen says to cut two slices before you take one out.
wait, that was pies. i have used it for pies before, and it works for that.
for cake, I always thought the best thing to do was to use a warm, wet knife
You know the concept isn't bad, it's just the execution. Here is how you take that concept and make it work. Firstly make the blades longer, 5" blades for a 10" cake is tiny, make the blades, oh I don't know 12-14", Now Since the piece count is just a specific angle (IE, 4= 90*, 8=45*, 3=120*, 30= 12*, etc) have one "Blade" set at 0* always and the second blade movable showing rather then x* showing x pieces. So far only difference is pretty much the blade length, now for the changes. Firstly make the second movable blade much sharper, preferably metal rather then plastic so it doesn't dull as quickly and can actually cut the cake rather then smash the cake apart. And secondly have the second blade hinged, why you might ask? Simple you set the duller plastic blade up against the wall of the cake that has already been cut, then with the second sharper blade you press down on the hinge making the cut where the dull blade is used to line up the center with the device and keep the angle the same every time rather then hoping you hold it exactly where the blade is flush with the last cut, often not the case often leading to smaller and smaller slices.
Those two changes makes a big difference, you will cut the cake rather then smashing it, you will keep the slices the same each time since you are holding the device against something physical to keep them the same rather then hovering above hoping your aligned, and allows for the spatula to work better since you can lift the side blade out of the way allowing the piece to not be pinched in allowing it to come off easier.
Good concept just flawed execution that can just use a couple of tweaks to the design to make it a lot more feasible.
Just order the cake line largest adults in the front, smallest children at the very end. That way everyone gets an appropriately sized slice.
Did anyone else hear Cookie Monster go "Num Num Num NUM" while he ate that cake piece? lol
THIS VIDEO JUST RECONFIRMS WHAT I ALREADY KNEW ALWAYS GET THE FIRST SLICE OF CAKE
The spiral effect happened because of human error.
If they included thin metal slicers along with those thick plastic ones this thing would be a lot better. Way too thick for delicate desserts. It's smashing as much as it's slicing.
I just thought of a way to make this better. Have the slicer pop out three-dimensional and you again set the cake/pie size and amount of slices and then just bring it down from above. Push down once and when you pull back up, the entire thing has been sliced instead of going individually.
You know how they have those plastic tubs with a slicer attached for, say, cubing cheese or dicing vegetables? You just press down and it does the work for you. Well, a bit like that, without cubing, lol. Hell, someone could even sell a plastic container to cut it in so when you cut it, it's already ready for storage. Put a lid on it and forget it!
I ought to patent this, haha! But whomever takes this idea, have at it and may it make you rich ^_^ I'm too lazy/not very smart for dealing with patents. Or it's a crappy idea in general but that's what I'd do for a cake AND pie cutter. Use it for quiche as well, anything circular-shaped that's at least 8 inches in diameter.
5:08 hey sir that's more than 5 secs. You're breaking the 5 secs rule.
Just love of he dropped it and hurried and ate it lol 😂 I love youre videos!!!!
the thumbnail made it look like a back support brace.
I love seeing inventions that solve problems that don't exist.
Remember the pocket fisherman, Ronco commercials are great.
Love your reviews, they are fun and informative!
For the cake slicer it has no sharp edge! that just says it all. Just use a knife, you can cut the slice as thin or thick as you want and is much cheaper.
This is one of those "solving a problem that doesn't exist" kind of products.
I think he's right. This thing is to solve a problem that does not exist. If you really had so many slices that you needed to be even, then you would probably need something faster than this. Plus - who wants such tiny pieces of cake?
