I was just about to comment that. A bread slicer is one of the most usual kitchen gadgets in Germany 😂 How is it 200 dollars though? They are waaay cheaper here in Germany. I swear I have seen electric ones that are cheaper
Those duck/heart/bear molds aren't really meant for food. They were made to make snowballs. As for why TikTok people make it look easy, it's because a lot of them are faked. Anyone interested how should check out the How to Cook That channel's Debunked series. She tries the method, and when it inevitably fails, she explains why.
In the hot pot. First place your ingredients in the serving bowl. Then put the heating element in the bottom of the cook bowl then add water. Cover and wait set time. Kids would love the noodle slide!
The smaller flower dumpling makers work amazingly well! You have to use thin sheets. That’s why I just like the pre-made ones. Because they’re the perfect size and make a perfect flower. That big one is wild! Lol
for the flowering dumpling maker: - you need a much thinner dough! roll it out a bit more first. - WAYYYY less filling!! - dip a finger in some water and trace the edges of the dough circle before having the gadget close it, the water acts as a "glue" with the dough hope these help if you decide to give it another shot!
my mum used one of these bread slicers up until the late 90s. it was a very common thing to have in the GDR. you could find it in basically every household. of course it was very cheap back then. $200 is ridiculous.
Imagine getting to lunch time and realising that you forgot to charge your lunch box 😅 That's the problem with us having more and more electric dependent items. It's super convenient until you forgot to charge it or don't have enough power sockets or there's a power cut. Also it gets blimin expensive, not just to buy them in the first place but to afford the inflated power bills from having to charge a dozen things for each family member every day. Having said that, I'd be lost without half my electronic devices! 😂
There are other companies that makes heating lunchboxes. The noodle slide looks like it would be a nightmare to clean, so I am not sure how sanitary it would be. It also looks like a fun way to cool down your kids noodles. The train looks like a fun concept. I wonder if you can get more tracks to make it bigger.
I have the lunch box that heats up but mine has an insert that comes out and takes about an hour to heat my food. It plugs in and is called a microwave lunch box for about $40!
For the butter bear, try running the outside under hot water or dip it in warm water for a very short time (not long enough for the whole thing to melt but just long enough to warm up all of the mold) for a short time before opening it. It will slightly melt the layer that is stuck to the mold just enough to loosen it and hopefully let it come loose from the mold properly rather than pull apart when you do open it
The first self (add water, same looking heat pouch) heating meals came out in the early 80's (US), and I did love them, but for some reason it was short lived!
@@sia7051 yea you're probably right, but at first it was a cool thing, which made it much easier to heat up, rather than walking minutes to a microwave, and back. I used to work in a very big motor plant, and at breaks & lunch, just don't fell like walking for minutes to the closes microwave....lol
My dad was in the military and they have those self heating packs for all of their food. They can be dangerous if you don't do them properly, so having them readily available, probably would not be a good thing. He told me when they used to get bored in the desert during deployment they would put whatever's in the packs and soda bottles and they would stretch out like 20+ feet.😂
The self heating meals are very common items in China today. Haven’t heard of any major incidents because of it. Guess Chinese people are pretty good at following instructions 😂
@@jz4057 in America, the light on crime policies have made it so people can just do whatever they want to with no repercussions. It has changed America for the worst for sure. it has made some of the people here so unintelligent.
@@Emilygregoire9 you don’t have to convince me. I’m an American citizen as well. But the light on crime policy is not the culprit for everything. It has nothing to do with having to label “not a toy” on plastic bags or “do not eat” on laundry detergent. The failure of public education plays an important role.
The first one reminds me of both the deli slicer and the kitchen mandolin, which are famous for demanding blood from their users. The heating pack is basically a chemical battery that gets shorted out by the water you add, generating a bunch of heat. If the reaction is sluggish you can add a bit of salt to the water to make it more electrolytic.
3:58 error in instructions, adding water to that pouch is the last thing you do. 10:17 you need to make the dough a lot thinner like at most 2.5mm thick with thin edges
For the dumpling maker you should have tried putting a bigger circle of dough on the machine because when you tried it it look quite small so it wasn’t able to close the top - and for the noodle water slide it works better with smaller amounts of noodles, keep up the good work
Both the noodles ‘fountain’ and ‘river’ are great during summer. You can add ice cubes into the water so that the noodles will be cold when you eat them. You can add fruits, cucumber or carrots letting them ‘float’ in the river while you have dips in the serving bowls.
12:37 that is way too much noodles for a single serving/catch... 12:54 you're supposed to catch it on the big straight slide. The basin is already too late. That basin is to catch everything you missed
I can't imagine that self-heating noodles are good for the environment. But the noodle slide looks fun! for our Dharma School, we cut bamboo and made our own somen nagashi. kids loved it. Unfortunately, it's a lot of work. did I miss the link for the noodle slide? I may consider the self heating bento box.
I'm German and my grandparents generation probably all had the bread and deli slicer, although the one in my grandma's kitchen was an electric one. But yeah, the blades being that open always freaked me out and I was always taught to be careful and not use it on my own. It's a nice gadget to get even slices and you can select the width of the slices to your preference.
As a person from Europe, where we have in every electronics store electronic bread/ham/salami/cheese slicer, it is hilarious to see this mechanical one 😂😂😂😂
In Scotland, we had a bread/meat slicer in the 1970s (before Health & Safety became a 'thing'). Never cut any digits off! Can't remember where my Mum got it.
The bread slicer they had them back in the 50s and 60s Grand mother's and moms Cut bread and Cold cuts Cold cuts back then came In big loafs It's good it came back
Can’t believe you never had a self heating Chinese hotspot before 😂. You need to put everything in the bowl before starting the self heating bag. Normal it takes 15 minutes to cook. I don’t think you waited long enough. Everything needs to be boiling before eating.
The (bread)slicer should come with a protective guard pushing the bread/ham/cooked meat/cheese towards the blade. It’s a very handy device that can be found in many European countries, as already mentioned by other commenters.
My grandparents had one of those bread slicers. It was 70's orange, although I don't know when it was actually from. I just know they had it when I was a kid in the 80's and pretty much forever.
There are cheaper heating lunchboxes although it's wired, it's much easier to clean since it comes with compartments & tiers. It's so handy for lazy cooking & traveling. Also the chaotic hotpot sent me haha 😂
Liziqi made a lazy river table from scratch for her food. It worked so well. The bullet train would be fun if you have children. The dumpling maker was something I had high hopes for; too bad it was a failure.
we too have have idk where it came from idk why its there we dont use it, but i know it still works its honestly just there just waiting to be used again for something
3:43 extremely bothered me as I’ve seen multiple self heating foods like this so bothered that you didn’t put together the foods before doing that 😢😢😢😅😅😅
Was it really that big of a deal tho? I panicked in the moment and a lesson learned for next time! I got to see how it activates and heats up which is the coolest part, No biggie 😉
I like that bento box. I know bento is supposed to cute, but being able to take your lunch to wherever and set it to heat 10 minutes before you eat sounds great! And it doesn’t get dried out or gummy like can happen in a microwave.
I'm not german, but the bread slicer is a game changer, we have it in our home and it's truly a must-have item if you eat bread almost every siingle day
You need to put the ingredients in the pot first before you put in the heat pack!! I’m glad it managed to continue cooking tho. Those self heating pots were my best friends when I was working in an office, just leave it in the pantry and come back to it piping hot
Hello there from Germany - Everyone of us has a "Brotschneidemaschine" - We cant live without in a Bread-Country like Germany xD so thats not unusual at all for me. The manuel one is just a old form of it - and every german household own one of them!
I love your video so much and I always enjoy watching your videos I love how honest your reviews are. Thank you for always putting a smile in my face😁❤
Yeah, but they don't market to here in the West. I think it's our thing for sandwiches, which only require Saran wrap. The companies should market to us though.😊
Just slight mistake on the hotpot one,you have to put all ingredients in plastic tray + water then pour water to the heat pack underneath. Insert the tray with food then cover and wait.
So after reading all the comments abut how common bread slicers are in Germany, I checked Amazon Germany and found electric slicers for half the price of this manual model. I would like to know just why these devices are so common in Germany. Are the breads in Germany (e.g, Rye bread) particularly hard to slice? Don't they take up a lot of space in the kitchen? Never heard of them before here in the USA.
@@thomasschumacher5362Exactly! That's why I bought the mechanical version. Same as my late grandmother used to have in her kitchen for decades. She used to make the best rye bread. Miss you so much, Omi!

A 7/10 for that dumpling maker was GENEROUS 💀 wrong size, didn’t work with either thickness of dough, 2/10
Yeah it looked like junk IMHO.
More like a bao not dumpling
I thought the same thing! No way that gets more than a 2/10 😅
If that dumpling maker really worked, why did the TikTok video cut right when they started closing it. I think even a 2/10 is generous.
Her dough was waaaay to thick for dumpling, and she put too much inside. It was not a fair decent try imho.
for the flowering dumpling maker:
- you need a much thinner dough! roll it out a bit more first.
- WAYYYY less filling!!
- dip a finger in some water and trace the edges of the dough circle before having the gadget close it, the water acts as a "glue" with the dough
hope these help if you decide to give it another shot!

Having said that, I'd be lost without half my electronic devices! 😂
for the self heating hotpot , I think they just take chemicals and add water to create an exothermal redox reaction which produces heat! very cool!
They do, it's been common in military mres and some trekking stuff for several years now.
