Dash products were made for college students and people living in small apartments. They are made for people who are cooking for one and need to save space. That’s why everything is small and designed the way it is to make one at a time. It’s so smart I wish they had these products when I was in school!
I'm glad you point out the fact that some of the products are designed for certain uses specifically certain types of uses that are convenient for people who really do not have a lot of space to work with and you know the interesting the more interesting thing about it is that there is somebody with a channel that literally is called no space no space no time or something cooking or something like that anyway she works with a lot of the dash products and frankly she's made me want to get some of those products because if it wasn't for the outlet part I would probably have bought them already because they're small they're Compact and you can do a lot of things with it you just have to think outside the box. Much like I did with my waffle iron I have a waffle iron that can go on you can use it for outdoors like in a situation where you're in a campfire have a campfire stove or you know your normal stove top and I have made really delicious sandwiches with that specifically grilled cheese sandwiches easy the best way to make it probably not but it works and had I know about making waffle iron fries I probably would have used it to make waffle iron fries... My point is people shouldn't poo poo things if they serve a particular type of audience whether it's people who don't have a place really to cook things or whether they're you know like you said students or even older people who don't really have a kitchen to work with and or on can't afford anything fancy... No it is true that some of these irons whether it's a waffle iron pipe pi one or any one of these - items might not be necessarily cheap they do require spending some money but the question is will they serve a purpose in the long one will you get your money's worth out of it and the answer to that is if you're not eating out and you're making food with it in then yes it will pay for itself. I always have to look at the bottom line which is the cost will it pay for itself in the long run and the reason I say this is because I am not a rich person I am in fact quite poor I don't want to go into all the details but it's because when your handicap in a country that favors only able-bodied you have a problem finding a job or even getting one for that matter all they see is a wheelchairand that's if that's if they actually see you at all half the time they pretend they don't see you or maybe they don't pretend maybe it's actually subconsciously they just don't want to see you because you are a reminder of what their life could be and therefore they just don't want to be reminded. By the way I am using voice to text which means that it does not necessarily write things the way I would write it if my hands were working properly right now they're not working properly and I have a hard time gripping things I cannot get voice to text to do half the things I needed to do I'm lucky if it makes any sense at all so I asked you to be slightly indulgent when you read this and understand that I'm doing the best that I can cannot fix anything and it does not punctuate as I would like it too.
I'm just a mess and like soups and curry. The problem is always how am I getting this out of the microwave without: 1. Burning myself 2. Making a mess because I was trying to get the bowl out without burning and those logistics are a problem 3. Getting soup on my oven not because I have to get a grip on the stupid bowl I want one of these trays for my curry and ramen kick that I'm on
You could totally do a large amount in thr batter bucket thingy. You would just have to do it step by step. Flour everything, then wet everything, then flour everything again, as opposed to fully battering one batch and then doing more.
As a fellow 90s kid, the infomercial was spot on! I would definitely buy the batter thing! I think it would be great for kids who want to help. The little fryer thing may be good for a college kid.
The great part of the pie maker and even the kettle fryer is, For someone who lives alone or has a small kitchen, those would be great. I have a galley kitchen and have no space for anything. If it was just me, those items would be wonderful.
“Tell me you grew up in the 90’s without telling me you grew up in the 90’s.” 😂😂😂 Honestly, I kind of miss those infomercials! Some of these gadgets are pretty awesome and helpful.
I would use that for mini pot pies to make big batches, freeze for later or meal prepping for the week. You could prep a few different fillings, make a batch of savoury and sweet and cook while you do other things. 1 per person for entrees, split for kids or dessert pies. I may need to buy that. I currently make mini pot pies in muffin tins but this seems way easier.
Gooey flat cheese will live with you forever! My younger son, who is 21 now, used to say he was “full of hands” instead of his hands were full. We still say it to this day! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
As kids me and my sister referred to pork butt as ' chicken booty ' likely because as kids we pretty much ate exclusively chicken and beef. It still occasionally slips out when referring to pork butt/roast. I'm almost 28
I need to get one of those microwave trays for mum who has arthritis in her hands. Great tool for anyone with ailments. I'd even love one for myself. I would've totally bought a pie maker like that when I was living on my own but then it's just as easy with the store bought frozen ones you can just heat up one at a time lol. Always pros and cons.
Finally the video is hereee yayyy! I have been waiting for it!! Just wanted to say rach i have been watching (or re watching) your videos every night.. they are so relaxing and calming.. I have very imp exams coming up in a month and i am usually very anxious right before bed but your videos calm me down and is a beautiful end to my otherwise stressful day. So thank you so much for everything you do! ❤
You could pre-make a bunch of pies and freeze them? And my kids (way back when they were little) called Parmeasan cheese in the green container "shaky" cheese! Lol
I know people say it's an old wives tale, but it works for me. Whenever I have to boil something, I put a wooden spoon across the pan and it does not boil over.
I have a pan that makes 4 mini pies in the oven, it even has removable bottoms for easy pie removal. I highly recommend! I do savory pot pies or dessert pies and no waiting.
That onion reminded me of the time when during the pandemic my little sister attempted to make onion rings (at the age of 8)... Let me tell you, the kitchen looked like a battlefield after that 🙈😂
Great I’m 27 weeks pregnant and obsessed with onions now I’m gonna have to try to figure out how to cook a blooming onion with a two-year-old running around thanks, Rachel
To quickly season the spaghetti I reccomend you try this simple and quick yet delicious topping. Grab some olive oil and a clove or two of garlic and fry on low heat until very slightly golden. If you want to go the extra mile you can experiment by adding a few anchovies and breading or simply garnish with some chili flakes. It's simple yet quick to make and the flavours pack a punch.
The kettle at around 5:05 is made for frying and storing used oil so you wouldn’t have the need to transfer huge amounts of oil to a different container. You can fry in it, set aside after, and use again in the future without transferring to any pan
I’ve been eating a lot of soup and stew lately so I ordered the microwave caddy. I have to grab a plate or a hand towel so hold and carry the bowl since it’s always too hot to hold so this is perfect for me plus the outside area can be used to hold bread or crackers after I heat the food.
Another gadget you might like is Safe Grabs. They are silicone discs that cover bowls or plates in the microwave. It covers the food so it doesn’t splash onto the inside of the microwave. They are reusable and also double as hot mitts for holding the plate. You could use them with the tray you got for soup. I love them but would also be good for kids learning to heat things up.
Hi Rachel. Love your videos. As Italian the way you made the pasta, adding water AFTER put the pasta in the boiled water bloomed my mind away 😅😅😅 but still love you darling! ❤
@11:35 I MUST have one of those microwave caddies - My child ALWAYS boils over his ramen in the microwave, this thing is a perfect catch basin for his starchy ramen boils as well as the hot bowl.
I think the kettle would be super handy if you are cooking pasta for one. Probably, not as easy if you’re trying to make a lot of noodles but definitely would work great for one serving.
My aunt and all her little quilting ladies have made a quilted version of the bowl microwave thing. If it spills it is soaked up by the quilting…and just throw in with the laundry. Plus you can customize it to fit your style!
I love the Dash egg steamer and the mini waffle maker. I am single, so they’re perfect for me. I do sometimes boil eggs but mainly if I’m batch cooking for the week or making deviled eggs for a family function and need a lot of hard boiled eggs.
I was given the pie maker as a present a few years ago and I haven't had a chance to try it (I don't eat pies that often) but your video makes me want to experiment with it
What’s nice about the dash minis is if you have only 1-2 people with different diet you can make them some at same time…for example…I’m allergic to wheat….
Gooey flat cheese is adorable and hilarious! In my Italian household, the Parmesan cheese you shake onto pasta will forever be know as “shakey cheese” that spelling specifically too😂😂 that’s how we write it on the grocery list😂😂🫶🍝
I found a tip on tasty that you can lay a wooden spoon across the pan you have boiling and it will keep it from boiling over. I do this with everything. Very handy tip.
That soup caddy has a built in party ring for soup dunkers. Tortilla chips, crackers, bread etc. If you’re going to eat soup, you must have dunkers, it’s the law!
The small fryer/boiling pot thing seems like it would be good for a single person especially if they have a small kitchen/not a lot of space. I think it's better to prepare big meals that could be eaten throughout the week or get frozen, but sometimes you may just be in the mood for having one meal of pasta or some fried food
Try using ice water to make the onion bloom open more. It worked for my brother who got this set. My mother would put a ring of aluminum foil around the edges of a pie when she baked it cause the edges would overcook. I bet the same issue is going on with the pie maker. Most of these are for single households. Especially dash stuff. To find these things way cheaper, go to Temu. The batter bowl comes in different sizes too.
I have these sort of potholders that cup the bowls and I bought them on Amazon quite reasonably you can use them as a pot holder but they’re made to hold a bowl.
We use something very similar to the flour thingy to coat tons of fish BUT our method only requires one coat after the wet bath. It works perfectly for us.
That soup thing is amazing just for being able to take shit out of the microwave. I reheat my food all the time and I have to use plates or towels or my sleeves to be able to even grab the bowl out of the microwave.
I got Morphy Richards original “Mico” toastie maker about 5 years ago… it is amazing! I’ve worked out the precise times for each side in my microwave and it makes awesome cheese toasties. I got the updated version (like the one you have) a couple of years ago and don’t like it as much. The original seals better, and makes crispier toasties :D (Plus I like adding tomato so really don’t want it leaking out… boy is it HOT 😅) I would say, it’s great for living alone or if I have 1 person visiting… if I use it more than twice in a row it gets too hot to pick up! (Also have to reduce the time using it twice in a row)
I would break the pasta in half before cooking. Also thought the strainer/fryer basket would be a great way to deep fry onion rings or breaded onion petals (or a small blooming onion)
Has anyone tried the Lunchables Grilled Cheese!?! Omg I love them! I’m not a fan of the pepperoni ones but I love the regular grilled cheese. I like to make them for my lunch. And that little Dash pie maker is so cute! Dash makes the coolest cutest little gadgets….when they actually work! 😂
I’ve had a microwave toastie thing for years (I think I also found it on TH-cam through another gadget video 😂) didn’t know they did a waffle one though… might check if it’s had any upgrades in the last four years
Hey @RachhLovesLife, one trick I use for making sure the water doesn't boil over is to just add a pair of wooden chopsticks. It has to be sticking out of the water and at a diagonal and for some reason it never boils over. See if that helps!
I basically have the fancier tupperware microwave metal cook think (Tupperware's Micro Pro Grill has more usecases due to the shape, but no waffle iron) And you need the first one to heat up the plates, from the 2nd onwards it gets way better!
Here’s a thought on the Dash Pie Maker. When using store bought dough, roll out the dough THINNER because if it’s thick, it will take longer to cook through, thinner in a machine like that requires a thin crust as opposed to regular crust thickness, that way your fillings reach better temperature to thoroughly cook and not to over cook the crust. Recommend a tortilla press for such cool convenient kitchen gadgets. Comes in helpful. 🫶😇
As someone who has a built in microwave cabinet above my oven and over my head height, I kind of love the microwave plate holder. I'm always worried I'm going to spill hot food on myself as I'm pulling it down to carry. I just don't love the price tag of a $100 but i'm probably going to buy it because $100 is cheaper than a medical bill and the associated effects of a potentially nasty burn!
Not new here, but still baffled as to why you keep your microwave downstairs. Why not just put it on the counter like the majority of other people do? Do you not use it very often in daily life? We use ours pretty regularly - there's no way any of us would be willing to go to another level of the house to use the microwave or any other kitchen appliance. Also, that onion looked DELISH!
if i remember right the reason why waffles gets a soggy feeling when you keep them warm in the oven is that you stack them on each other so it releases moisture/steam the same reason why a grilled cheese sandwich on a plate gets soggy on the bottom if you leave it on the plate without putting two chopsticks under the sandwich to the steam can escape
So fresh pasta and not spaghetti, and the exact problem with microwaves is that they basically heat things by boiling the water content so everything goes soft and mushy. You want crispy, dont use a microwave.
That's not how those plates work tho. Look into the science of it. The plates get hot from internal vibrations due to the microwaves and they have a specific metal content that does that so well that the vast majority of the microwaves get turned into heatwaves (aka infrared waves) instead of penetrating the food inside the plates as microwaves
When you think your water is going to boil over, place a wooden spoon across the top of the pot. It’s a trick my aunt taught me, the spoon has a cooler temperature than the water and helps to pop bubbles and prevent them from rising out of the pot by breaking the surface tension.
A bowl cozy or two takes up a lot less space and is more durable (in my opinion). Been using those for decades! As an adult I just always use a large soup mug so I don't need anything extra.
I have the pie maker but mine makes four at once, rather than just one. (Mine came from Williams-Sonoma but there are other brands as well that can do multiples at a time.) More filling is absolutely key for getting a top crust pie cooked in the center. I also make other things in mine than just pie. My favourite thing to make in it is pizza but I've also done cookies and quiche in mine, as well as multiple kinds of pie. And if you used a top crust for the pizza (I don't) it would be like a calzone. Many options. I prefer your cutter, though, as mine doesn't have the slits around the side to make it fit into the bottom better. I might have to get the Bloomin' Onion maker, even just for the cutter.
ok i laughed out loud when chris imitated the infomercial 😂

The rice cooker is perfect. Even now that I am not living alone, it still works great to make the right amount of rice for my husband and I.
I use the waffle iron to make gluten free waffles and it's perfect!
I use the waffle iron, too, to make chaffles. It's perfect.

Christopher just screaming "ACT NOW!" off-camera 😂😂😂
I love how much you both talk things through. With the fryer and pie maker, neither of you just said “fail”. You both talked through the obstacles.
The soup tray would be also good for seniors. Easy for them to lift out of the microwave and carry.
I was thinking the same thing. My mum has arthritis in her hands, this would be great for when she's reheating food for herself and dad.
Yeah haha, as an OT I recommend these to people all the time, so helpful! Nice to to see them being generally recommended 😊

27:59 That kettle should have been marketed towards camping 😅 All those Solo Campers on TH-cam need this!!😂
Van life would be a good place for it
@@sweethaven5 I thought it might be good for frying okra 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve actually seen a few of the campers and the van life people using these.
You could totally do a large amount in thr batter bucket thingy. You would just have to do it step by step. Flour everything, then wet everything, then flour everything again, as opposed to fully battering one batch and then doing more.
or they can just put the wet part in another container or batter bucket....problem easily solved.
Just get two of the battering buckets Chris!! One for wet and one for dry. 😂
This was my exact thought lol
Or put the wet on a bowl with a lid and shake it that way
As a fellow 90s kid, the infomercial was spot on! I would definitely buy the batter thing! I think it would be great for kids who want to help. The little fryer thing may be good for a college kid.
Great way to burn down the dorm 🔥
The great part of the pie maker and even the kettle fryer is, For someone who lives alone or has a small kitchen, those would be great. I have a galley kitchen and have no space for anything. If it was just me, those items would be wonderful.
Keeping your air fryer and microwave in the basement is a great way to make sure you get your steps in! LOL
Lmao all I could think of is “if you order in the next 5 minutes we will add a bonus one! 2 for the price of 1! “ for the infomercial 😂
“Tell me you grew up in the 90’s without telling me you grew up in the 90’s.” 😂😂😂 Honestly, I kind of miss those infomercials! Some of these gadgets are pretty awesome and helpful.
I would use that for mini pot pies to make big batches, freeze for later or meal prepping for the week. You could prep a few different fillings, make a batch of savoury and sweet and cook while you do other things. 1 per person for entrees, split for kids or dessert pies. I may need to buy that.

The fry thing looks nice for like a camping item or good for a RV. Where you don't have the room for a deep fryer and all that. Just my thought.

The original seals better, and makes crispier toasties :D (Plus I like adding tomato so really don’t want it leaking out… boy is it HOT 😅)
I would say, it’s great for living alone or if I have 1 person visiting… if I use it more than twice in a row it gets too hot to pick up! (Also have to reduce the time using it twice in a row)
Love it!!:)
The weird mini pot thing would be suitable for a studio apartment/van life/RV/tiny house where space is at a premium
I would break the pasta in half before cooking. Also thought the strainer/fryer basket would be a great way to deep fry onion rings or breaded onion petals (or a small blooming onion)
Has anyone tried the Lunchables Grilled Cheese!?! Omg I love them! I’m not a fan of the pepperoni ones but I love the regular grilled cheese. I like to make them for my lunch. And that little Dash pie maker is so cute! Dash makes the coolest cutest little gadgets….when they actually work! 😂
I’ve had a microwave toastie thing for years (I think I also found it on TH-cam through another gadget video 😂) didn’t know they did a waffle one though… might check if it’s had any upgrades in the last four years
I am NOW in search of "Can I use the pie maker to make UFO burgers?" Lol
Hey @RachhLovesLife, one trick I use for making sure the water doesn't boil over is to just add a pair of wooden chopsticks. It has to be sticking out of the water and at a diagonal and for some reason it never boils over. See if that helps!
Oh my goodness... Chicken. Pot. Pies😳😳😍😍
I basically have the fancier tupperware microwave metal cook think (Tupperware's Micro Pro Grill has more usecases due to the shape, but no waffle iron)
And you need the first one to heat up the plates, from the 2nd onwards it gets way better!
Try using Mayo instead of butter on your next grilled cheese. Makes it much tastier
Or garlic butter. I've used leftover Papa John's garlic butter sauce cups to butter bread for a grilled cheese. So delicious!
@@lisalou3947 Ohhhhh that sounds so good. Definitely going to try that on my next grilled cheese. Thanks for the tip
Kudos for how clean inside your microwave looks. Mine looks like a massacre site even though I clean it monthly and hardly use it.
Here’s a thought on the Dash Pie Maker. When using store bought dough, roll out the dough THINNER because if it’s thick, it will take longer to cook through, thinner in a machine like that requires a thin crust as opposed to regular crust thickness, that way your fillings reach better temperature to thoroughly cook and not to over cook the crust. Recommend a tortilla press for such cool convenient kitchen gadgets. Comes in helpful. 🫶😇
In my family we have “floppy cheese”, “tubby (tub) butter”, and “sticky (stick) butter”.
The root “I won’t even look at it”😂😂😂😂
My fav part was the infomercial 😂
To prevent the water from boiling over, place a wooden spoon over the pot. OR put some oil on a paper towel rub the top of the pot around the rim.

That's how you know it's true love
As someone who has a built in microwave cabinet above my oven and over my head height, I kind of love the microwave plate holder. I'm always worried I'm going to spill hot food on myself as I'm pulling it down to carry. I just don't love the price tag of a $100 but i'm probably going to buy it because $100 is cheaper than a medical bill and the associated effects of a potentially nasty burn!
Not new here, but still baffled as to why you keep your microwave downstairs. Why not just put it on the counter like the majority of other people do? Do you not use it very often in daily life? We use ours pretty regularly - there's no way any of us would be willing to go to another level of the house to use the microwave or any other kitchen appliance. Also, that onion looked DELISH!
The most entertaining video yet! Lol
if i remember right the reason why waffles gets a soggy feeling when you keep them warm in the oven is that you stack them on each other so it releases moisture/steam the same reason why a grilled cheese sandwich on a plate gets soggy on the bottom if you leave it on the plate without putting two chopsticks under the sandwich to the steam can escape
So fresh pasta and not spaghetti, and the exact problem with microwaves is that they basically heat things by boiling the water content so everything goes soft and mushy. You want crispy, dont use a microwave.
That's not how those plates work tho. Look into the science of it. The plates get hot from internal vibrations due to the microwaves and they have a specific metal content that does that so well that the vast majority of the microwaves get turned into heatwaves (aka infrared waves) instead of penetrating the food inside the plates as microwaves
When you think your water is going to boil over, place a wooden spoon across the top of the pot. It’s a trick my aunt taught me, the spoon has a cooler temperature than the water and helps to pop bubbles and prevent them from rising out of the pot by breaking the surface tension.
A bowl cozy or two takes up a lot less space and is more durable (in my opinion). Been using those for decades!
As an adult I just always use a large soup mug so I don't need anything extra.
I have the pie maker but mine makes four at once, rather than just one. (Mine came from Williams-Sonoma but there are other brands as well that can do multiples at a time.) More filling is absolutely key for getting a top crust pie cooked in the center. I also make other things in mine than just pie. My favourite thing to make in it is pizza but I've also done cookies and quiche in mine, as well as multiple kinds of pie. And if you used a top crust for the pizza (I don't) it would be like a calzone. Many options. I prefer your cutter, though, as mine doesn't have the slits around the side to make it fit into the bottom better.
I might have to get the Bloomin' Onion maker, even just for the cutter.
