Yeah, sticking a vibrator into a perfectly good glass of beer is a bit doubtful. It´s not like the foam is the best part of the pint.

Mike Kuppen yeah but I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.

So many things do...

It was quite visual.

James Hill actually they are called breakfast muffins

Don't ruin this for me!

James Hill muffins over here refers to the cakes. If you asked someone to get you a muffin they would get you a cake. Ask for a breakfast muffin you would get one of these

Cancelling my vacation ...

Pinkus Dean they are called that because it is the way to differentiate them from the sweet muffins that we have

James is the best!

Shenna Bunton he's eye candy too!

REI DECEMBER Yes he is 😁

And the ironic thing is that he's the youngest of all of them.

He is super cute. I love these guys so much. But yes, the ginger candy is my favorite.

That is literally the best comment in here! Well done man :D

It’s spooky to the maximum +++

I find when the inflection is removed from speech, be it in a screen reader or somone reading out text in a very flat manner it becomes impossible to understand. My brain just rejects it.

The manufacturer of the egg cracker is German company Rösle... and they created their own version of the aptly named "Clack" (for the sound it makes when cracking the eggshell). In German it is also called "Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher" or in English "Device for the creation of a predetermined breaking line on eggshells" ... the "Clack" was created in 1999, and likely was not meant to be taken entirely seriously - but somehow it persevered, and it still is available after more than 20 years :-) Do we need it? Not really - but it is FUN... at least for Germans...

It's a little bit funny that the computerized voice at the end has a slight British accent!

I would much rather get an electric griddle or a Foreman style electric grill. Much more versatile.

I have the double breakfast sandwich maker & my kids and I love it! So much healthier & cheaper than getting a breakfast sandwich from a fast food restaurant! Plus the options of what you can put into the sandwich are endless.

tylisirn you can’t use hot plates or griddles in most forms

Maybe good for a dorm room, but in my kitchen I got silicone rings I can put in my frying pan to cook the egg, and I toast the muffin in the toaster right next to the stove top. I don’t use cheese, although I could, and I use pre-cooked bacon that takes 15 seconds in my microwave to cook while I fry the egg and toast the muffin. I think it’s just as quick as the muffin sandwich maker, and I don’t have to make space for it on my counter top. I recently bought an instant pot, but it was a mistake. It’s more trouble than just cooking things the usual way, in my opinion.

@@nanniwa The instant pot takes some time to get used to but once you've got it, it's a huge time saver. I have the sandwich maker and love it. No dirty pan or rings to clean up, I don't have to drag out my toaster, and I don't need my microwave. Just put all the stuff in and walk away for 5 mins. The cooking rings are non-stick so a quick rinse in soapy water and you're all done. It's also really small so it's easily stored in the corner of a cabinet.

Don't want to be negative but I got to agree

True, but I do love the visuals

Yeah I can't figure out why exactly but the robot voice actually creeps me out a little.... lol

It's mikes voice robotted........is that a word lol I dunno

Cade Taylor is constructive criticism negativity though?

My grandma had one with the ball, we always wanted to use it!

@@suzannehawkins383 I just came back from spending a few days at my parents' place, together with my brother and his family - my niece loves using it, too.

I have that one too! I thought it would be hilarious but expensive one time thing. But actually use it at least once a month 😁

Basically this. It's the problem with a lot of infomercial type products like these, they're designed for people with reduced mobility or other physical impairments (reduced grip strength is the most common probably) but in order to make back their money from development they need to sell more than the population of people with those problems, so they have to concoct a sales pitch to get the handicapable to buy them.

The basket is pretty useful. Even for regular people.

Cooking and Crafting with Michele

The last one is pure cash grab just use a plastic bottle. Literally same concept and same results.

Marko Todorovic Except as mentioned it is easier to use something that is designed to be easily squeezed for those with grip issues that doing it with a regular plastic bottle. Silicone is much easier than crunchy hard plastic.

They're in England. *EXTERMINATE!* is practically a given.

Ikr? The robot voice is so bizarre.

It's designed for people who have low manual dexterity, whether due to age or disability, so they wouldn't be able to do the egg shell thing without making a mess.

A soda bottle does the same thing.

Forget a soda bottle or the bulb, the damn she'll does the same thing and you just throw it away, you don't have to clean it. Literally one of the dumbest kitchen gadgets of all time.

​@@SecretNatureChannelsay someone who doesn't think about the old or disabled

I'm the same, though I have the Hot Dog Toaster they reviewed in another video as it's a great way when I can't be bothered to more than drop in a dog, hit a button, eat, go to bed, and it was a gift. For the rest, and the lads have said this, a lot of the gadgets seem to be for those with disabilities, and work well for that.

Kirsten Paff Lol no the voice was fun, was it useless or not?

xana lyoko useless

So does Barry’s normal voice tho....

It was a tiny, tiny part of the video, not really enough to be annoying

Kirsten Paff agreed

For me the main problem with it was just the repeated use of the phrase "you decide" after the guys had already said it.

yeah agreed

I feel that it was suppose to be soundwave??

I love the robot sound. It sounds just like a cylon. (BATTLE STAR GALACTICA)

Lars Sveen I have one at my store, amongst a few other things. Super easy to wash, makes a quick snack, so convenient.

Yes! Exactly what I said.

Actually must gadgets are not designed for those with disabilities but find a place because they are good for people with disabilities.

Thuggish cone 13 that ultrasonic wand is that for barmen that can't pour a pint with a head That is some dissability there

Trae Watkins it depends on the gadget, but there’s quite a few that are designed for people with disabilities and then find a market for people without as well.

@@traewatkins931 actually a surprising number of gadgets, particularly kitchen gadgets are in fact designed for those with disabilities. That said, catering specifically to disabilities isn't a super successful business model. Most end up marketing to the masses because 1. It leads to more sales which is more profit and 2. It gets the product out there more, making it more likely someone who may make real use of it will see it. Just about any commercial with the cheesy b-roll clips of some dude horribly spilling everything in his hands and then burning his house down on the way to the ground, is pushing a product that was likely designed for someone with a disability. My favorite example and one that also was a big hit in general was the slap n chop. It's convenient for many people, but it was made for someone who doesn't have the dexterity or hand strength to hold a knife for prolonged periods to mince something, instead they can just slap it til it's minced. Another is that cheesy novelty spaghetti spoon that spins for you...was made for people who have hand dexterity problems.

I've been dying to know!

No.

We used a similar thing in a bar i worked in but you put the glass of beer on top to make canned Guinness taste like draught without the faff of a Guinness pump. We rarely had complaints about it so it wasn't too bad. Not quite as good as draught but significantly better than canned

guinness draught taste way different from the can, so i dont know what customers you have

I hope to god you werent charging for draught Guinness.

So true... and how many of the 6 was there a problem that needed fixing?

SORTEDfood probably the hot dog thing, it would really fast up the bbq. And the yolk thing, if you need to separate like 50 yolks at ones.

Silverizael this sounds heart warming

Silverizael I used to think that products like these, and the other gadgets they've tested, were simply consumerism at its worse and really just taking advantage of how many lazy people there are in this world. I'm glad to know that isn't the case for why their original creation and that they serve a good purpose. Thanks for sharing!

Do you know? What did you make of them?

SORTEDfood Well I was quite interested in that steamer-boiling basket thingy, but did it blew my mind?..... I don't think so But maybe I will buy one of those one day

"Dorming" that's just being absurd. Try, lives in dorms

The hated 8 am class? That’s a perfectly reasonable time. If your getting fucked up every night you can pick your class times a bit later in the day as I’m sure you know. 8 am? Really? Good lord come help me from these unreasonable hours and my lack of sandwich maker!

I had a prof that used to say, "Beastly hour for a class," at 9:30 a.m.. Not everyone is an early bird. I had a job from 5:30 - 9:30 p.m., so I had to go home, make myself something to eat, study, if needed, unwind, then go to bed. I was 20 mins from work and 20 mins from school. Not every college kid gets "fucked up every night."

well spotted!! :O

I wonder if it's the same in France for "French Bread"? (giggle)

Silverizael Are you one of those said people because you've left comments like this on every thread

Bingo, Silver. It's meant for handicapped people. Anytime you see something like a mechanized fork that spins your spaghetti for you, that's the target market. And whole they may seem overpriced they're very often much much cheaper than the "medically available" variants. Talking like three-four times cheaper.

I suck at cracking eggs in the first place, i doubt i could separate a yolk.

I'm from Chicago and that gave me autism.

I don't care where you are from ketchup never belongs on a hot dog, it's a cardinal sin.

Eat the things you like how you like! \o/

Nick ????? Ketchup with mustard, and relish were a huge part of my childhood. WHO DOSENT LIKE KETCHUP ON THEIR HOTDOGS?!?

he also did say "i don't know..." in the same breath so... lol.

Wow - that's one for a scrabble board!

lol yes :-) 100 Points

Arwe Drøv this is the comment I was looking for! I was beginning to think I would have to post it myself.

Alton Brown is a twat. Who cares what he thinks.

YES!

@@georgearnold841 more people than who care what you think. The man inspired many a home cook and has a great weight loss personal experience/story.

A gadget has to do a better job (or solve a problem) with less hassle... right?

Not only that, you can as well use an empty soda bottle, you know, that hack that's going on for like ages? I think it's from that that it got the idea.

@@SortedFood not useless..just pointless

Oooh, great festive flavour!

I second this request.

I THIRD THIS REQUEST 😏

Apparently it does on milk *so says the packaging

SORTEDfood If so, then definitely useful 👌🏼

We're always keen to engage in conversation... one reason why we jump into the comments section when a video launches. To chat with you guys!

SORTEDfood I know and I love how connected you are to your community. I apologize if I sounded rude; I really am a fan of you guys and don't want to be that horrible commentator.

Most kitchen gadgets (and other infomercial gadgets besides) are specifically made for disabled people. So those that lack a limb or that don't have very good manual dexterity with their hands. Which, if they were to handle a knife, bad things would happen. The gadgets are just generally marketed to the public in order to recoup the cost of making them, since the market of disabled people specifically is small. But the devices themselves are purposefully made for disabled people in mind.

Silverizael that makes sense but I still think 6 is useless.

Sai Pie what if you don't have an empty water bottle? Say you don't drink bottled water or you just took out the rubbish? This is gonna take up less space in the kitchen and is more hygienic that a water bottle

grouch314 do whatever suits yourself but a water bottle is cheaper than the gadget or you can separate the yolk and the white using a hand

i dont know about you but i take a glass and drink tap water... i never have random empty water bottles....

I liked Big Night In! And I like to see ALL the boys not just one or 2 doing their rotations.

Brownie points were getting tired. Instead of being awarded on merit they became a joke, usually at Barry's expense.

Maria C. Exactly!!! It’s not the same without all three in a gadget video...they used to be so passionate about the food and teaching people how to make things but now it’s just like...every Pinterest/Reddit cooking show on the internet. I found them and loved them for their originality and love for food. I mean hell they are the reason I ultimately decided on going to culinary school. They helped me push my passion. Food and cooking saved my life. I just wish they had the same...passion that they used to. You know? No offense to the boys...

You're right. I does feel like they've lost sight of the whole brownie point competition/food heaven-food hell thing... I guess it's just been going on too long (it feels like they've started that almost a year ago). I feel like we need to wrap this up, otherwise the whole thing was just (brownie)pointless... But I don't think that they've lost their passion for food. Naturally they've changed some things over time. But change is normal and necessary to progress in life. Just my two cents, but I think you're being a bit harsh here. Though you're certainly entitled to your own opinion =)

Flyxter FINALLY! I've commented that stuff for such a long time now and always wondered why nobody else seemed to notice...

Fair! They won't be added to your Christmas list then?

That egg one is great for disabled people, people with limited mobility or unsteady hands, kids or anyone who struggles separating eggs.

I'd actually buy no. 6 if it's that quick on separating (tried water bottle, the yolk keeps falling down). separating 12 egg yolk per recipe kinda gets annoying, especially with one of em broke and mixed into the separated white, had to repeat everything

I think he meant should he put the pasta in the basket before he lowers the basket in or after.

Silverizael I know, I was just teasing. :)

I had one and the pasta goes through the holes and there's not much space in the pot after you put it in the pot.

there was a maybe
