Yeah. Single ones are only worth it if they live a long time. Get used a heck lot. Or make one annoying job too easy e.g the spirale potato one seems nice if people do that regulary and for multiple potatoes
A knife can be easily sharpened, when dulled. Those gadgets work badly when it gets old and the blades gets dull…..then you need to replace everything again..
@@jimliu2560 depends on the Gadget, how u use it & how accesable it is. I personally have a mandoline at home (not the one from the video, way simpler) but the knife is accessable enough that I can sharpen it whenever it gets dull with something that would go trough the machine or built it out and replace it/sharpen it as I do my knifes. High quality Gadget should offer that option. However I also know some Gadgets that people had for 6-7 years and they worked still very good
Gadgets are like specialists. Theyre really good at just the one thing they do. Knives, on the other hand, are Jacks-of-all-trades, master-of-none sorta things. They will work in just about any situation, but not with the speed and efficiency of a master.
Having the gadgets is more expensive by comparison, depending on the knife set, but i see this also useful for those who just dont want to learn how to do these with a knife, especially one like that potato spiral
Not so sure actually. Because, if someone is too disabled to cut an onion, can they actually peel it? I think the peeling/cleaning is often more difficult than the cutting itself.
@@TIMxisxHERE Disabled person here who does have a difficult time cutting things up. No actually peeling an onion is relatively very easy compared to chopping it up since it doesn't require as much fine movement or physical force, at least for me. Though obviously that does vary from person to person and from medical condition to medical condition.
Also keep in mind if you think some gadgets are useless for you. A lot of kitchen gadgets can be more accessible for people with mobility issues making jobs easier or leting them be done quicker.
Not so sure actually. Because, if someone is too disabled to cut an onion, can they actually peel it? I think the peeling/cleaning is often more difficult than the cutting itself.
@@TIMxisxHERE actually it's not that they can't, but using knife can be more dangerous for someone with mobility issues, for example my mom has wrist weakness in both of her hands after accidents. When she cook, sometimes she drop off some cooking tools or plate because of her wrists weakness.. some of these inventions can be more safe if she drop it, or some of it are more stable (for example like using it on the table) etc. And for me, sometimes i have severe trembling so knife can be quite dangerous for me
@@TIMxisxHERE cleaning like what? I guess not really, except you're a perfectionist or want to serve food for the guest, food is good enough. Also depend on what you're cleaning, you can use scissors, and for cleaning fruit skin you can use peeler which is safer than knife, or if you really must use a knife at least you won't have to use the knife for much longer time = much more safer and lower probability of dropping knife. Also this is from my experience and if you are healthy and can use knife pretty well then sure knife is a GREAT tools, very versatile! But some of these inventions are very helpful in my daily life
It might be simple and take up a lot of space, but my favorite one is the tomato slicer we use at work. It’s kinda bulky, but all you have to do is set them down on the slicer, and push them through the blades. Can be a little messy to, but it’s quick, easy, and honestly, just fun to use. Would be hard to clean without the high pressure sprayer we have for the sink though.
As someone who struggles with my knife skills because of disability, gadgets like these are the only reason I haven't lost a digit in the kitchen. No way can I mince garlic or cut grapes when my hands shake like a leaf on a windy day.
@@beezzinhafr, many people think these gadgets seem funny, useless and stupid but they are the things that make my gramma continue to do what she loves the most, which is cooking! She had a stroke many years ago and it affected the flexibility of her hands and joints so she can't have the same finesse she had when she was younger in handling knives. But she happily told me this decade were the best years she had experienced while cooking people keep coming up with ways to make her life more simpler and easier in ways she didn't even know was possible. So I extend my gratitude to all who makes these gadgets and appliances alike 🙇♀️
While the gadgets might be faster I think the knife basically does just about anything. I don't have the room for an entire gadget to do just one thing. One place the knife wins is they're really easy to clean.
My mom has owned that apple peeler for a long time. It really does work like wonders. And it's so funny seeing someone so impressed with it since its just been an everyday household object for my family
Hi Dave! Quick pro tip on getting garlic smell off your hands. Take a stainless steel spoon, under cold running water, rub your fingers and hand on the spoon for a bit until all the garlic smell is gone. Works like a charm!
I have the apple one. Ise it for snacks and once to very quickly cut some apples for a pie my mom was making. Even she was glad for its speed and uniformity there. Imo the safety, speed, and uniform nature of a well designed gadget make storage worthwhile.
Loved the comparison video Dave. I have a very small kitchen so I normally don't have many gadgets, but clearly some can really be handy and beneficial. I particularly liked the mandolin slicer and the simple spiralizer.
honestly. the multi-gadget at the start is my favoret. ITS FOR EVERYTHING AT ONCE! really! not one gadget for each fruit or veggie. ALL IN ONE by the way i love your videos a lot thanks for geving me the liking for kitchen gadgets!
Have you tried to review or try some gadgets that are good or specifically built for left-handed people ? Some gadgets are kinda good and easy to use, but they kinda meant to be used by general, right-handed people
My favorite gadget is a commercial grade deli slicer - slices tomatos better than your methods, lunch meats, cured meats, cheese, potatos for au gratin, lettuce and more. Cleans up quickly if you know how. And if you are careful, quite safe (hint - the blade is sharper than even a sharp knife). The only downside is you need to dedicate permanent space for a 40 pound machine.
You don't have to bin the skins either because most of it can go in a compost for flowers and so on same for things like apple cores so it's a win win situation.
whether or not I would use a gadget would depend on what food it’s for. Like if I ate a lot of the food that it’s for, I would buy the gadget because I’ll use it often. But if I don’t, I’d just use a knife
I have crazy good knife skills, so that's my go to. Especially for the space savings. For garlic, put the blade on its side and give it a smasharoo before mincing it. For fancy potatoes, cut a strip on the flattest side so it will lay flat. Take those skewers and lay them along the potato to keep the knife from going all the way through and thin slice them. Season them while fanning them out, then spray with oil and bake. I do own and use one of the chop boxes for cutting everything up to make huge batches of potato bacon soup just because it's easier.
The apple gadget is great! My mom had one growing up and it made quick work of preparing a ton on freshly picked apples for canning pie filling and applesauce.
These all seem really useful to someone like me, who is terrified of sharp knives. I'd much prefer the hands-off gadgets to the close-and-personal knife and fingers.
The neat thing about garlic is that the more you chop them up, the more aromatic they become because there is more damage to the cells which release the scent
I really enjoy the meat tenderizer we have, it’s got a bunch of tiny thin blades and while holding the handle, you press down, which creates a bunch of little holes in the meat. You do it for the whole piece of meat and it always comes out more tender than without using the gadget. The brand on ours is Jaccard
It isn't always about speed. Most home cooks are going that extra step and want their meals to at least look like a chef-prepared delight. Many of these gadgets allow the home cook to slice, dice, and julienne like a pro without years of practice to make perfect cubes and equidistant slices. When chefs say their dish is rustic, that is code for "I made a real mess of cutting my vegetables with a knife.
I have one of those apple slicer corer and peelers. I have a friend with an apple tree and she gives me a giant bag of apples every year, usually about 25. I make dehydrated apple rings out of them, and that slicer corer and peeler is an absolute necessity. Once you get good at using it, you can have 20 apples turned into a huge stack of perfect apple rings ready for the dehydrator in about 10-15 mins. Doing it by hand, it takes forever and the rings dont end up perfect and uniform thickness.
12:13 instead of chopping them like that, you can use a common technique called crushing the garlic with a proper kitchen or butcher knife, it won't give you nice clean cubes but its very fast,easy,and safe.
I keep missing my favorite onion cutting helper. It looks like a steel comb with fairly long, pointy spikes. Punch those through each half onion and cut along each spike. The kicker is the last step, cutting across: No unwieldly disintegration of those pre cut slices anymore 😂
I actually have the garlic 🧄 mincer/slicer. Super convenient and easy to clean. It also doesn't transfer garlic to a cutting board. I give it 10stars!!!!
Is a knife the ultimate kitchen gadget?
You have done a video like this before did you find more gadgets?
I wouldn’t think so
maybe
yea because kinfes are multipurpose and gadgets can only do few things
knifes can do anything
Multipurpose ones like the first one, is good. Single purpose stuff will occupy so much space honestly.
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 No. You are just annoying.
Yeah. Single ones are only worth it if they live a long time. Get used a heck lot. Or make one annoying job too easy e.g the spirale potato one seems nice if people do that regulary and for multiple potatoes

All I have in my kitchen is a pot, pan, cutting board, can opener and a knife. Honestly that's all your really need.
It's a win for me if it makes it safer than faster!
I have the second Avocado gadget. I am happy to keep it in my utensil drawer, it's very convenient
my favourite kitchen gadget is a hand which can be used to hold things and also the brain which is used to control your body when using something
and the legs which are used for walking

tip, when cutting garlic, wet the blade of the knife with water and your holding hand as well, it will make it so that the garlic doesn't stick

Botanically it's the fruit (womb) of the avocado tree.
12:13 instead of chopping them like that, you can use a common technique called crushing the garlic with a proper kitchen or butcher knife, it won't give you nice clean cubes but its very fast,easy,and safe.
Make sure you are not using that tiny knife in the video, you need one thats 2/3 of your hand.
With the spiraling and the potatoes though you can leave them on the skewer with the knife and fry them.
