A trick: you can watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.

@Manuel Kyle Yup, have been using flixzone for since november myself :)

@Manuel Kyle definitely, been watching on flixzone for years myself :D

Ye

Same!! I love Dan and this series

Saaaame

Truth

You recognize the man by his chin?

I feel the same I've watched every episode and I want about 50 new episodes daily lol

Right? so many important things accidently thrown away...

My favorite ever mandoline slicer had a blade locking feature you just click, a simple thumb slider for thickness, and a matching hand guard with a matching logo. They also made the hand guard the same color with the same black trim... it was very obvious what it went to if it got separated. Those small features made it one of my favorite tools and even after I cut the tip of my thumb off, I still own it! Haha it's the only gadget to survive several moves because the parts never got lost. It was 2 simple pieces that easily match eachother, share a logo/name, and the guard clicks to the underside for storage. Nice. I always wondered what this guy would think of my slicer! Haha

Wow that sounds pretty interesting yet very tiring! Hope you find it!!

so you're saying that every 3-4 months you have to prepare 150-250 kilos of carrots? are you holding a restaurant or something

do you have a Carrot halwa factory or sth?

jokes apart, best wishes for your religious festivals. Ramadan & Eid Mubarak!

Try Amazon you might find it there

Yeah, perfect tool to use when doing carrot soup, I'm talking about the amount of carrot soup that will fit a 50 litre stock pots, imagine how long you take to peel the carrot using normal peeler

you just shove one after the other, using the second to finish push the first. sounds very efficient.

Yeah I would too. But when he said the ends wouldn’t peel is because it’s too skinny.

@@isabella733 so peel 80% with the tool then use a normal peeler

True but if you are peeling enough carrots to get this thing you might as well get a commercial veg peeler- comercial grade equipment will at least give you chance to sharpen and maintain equipment unlike this trinket

True

Exactly, you don't even notice any dull moments at all, he keeps it interesting even when not doing much

Dan is the man

Good design requires communication through physical features. So it makes sense.

He’s been doing this for 40 years, I think he knows what he’s doing

@@lucarroba wish people understood that other people with experience can do more than tell you that to put your phone down. We've come to a point in America, were younger generations literally are waiting for older generations to die, just over a simple disagreement and telling children what is true. I wasn't telling my grandfather that I can't wait till he's dead so new minds can take over.

@@artdecotimes2942 I get what you mean. But many times the way older people want to push their way of doing things although proven that there are better ways has been frustrating to the younger generation. Sometimes older people should let younger people find their own way of doing things and if they do it wrong, young people just have to learn from their mistakes

@@nicedurians well I get what you mean in that, but I'll tell you, that telling younger generations to get a job and do something with there life, is no were as bad as how they are treating us now. At least it was advice, to them now its some war and I feel its just become an egotistical broken game to them, and I can't type anything about how I miss 1950 because the comments will either be "ok boomer" or "um, yes I sure do miss the racism and sexism and homophobic nature, unsafe death traps, and enslaved housewives" which I can't believe people believe from the media. Try saying anything about the past, this is why I'm trying to fight all this off! I can't stand all these horrible horrible comments neverending everytime I saw as little a fig as "wow, what a lovely automobile" nope immediately after itd nothing but "might look good but be behind the drivers seat and your dead" ..this has happened numerous times by different children that have said this, in fact I've been in three that have crashed, one side, one front on, and the last flipped down a hill, and all three were fine, yes our families 1906 Oldsmobile slid down a hill, and came out with nothing but a slightly bent front, and fractured suspension line on the grass beside it; hardly needed repare.

@@artdecotimes2942 woe is you

Definitely see how it could be useful in the food industry, but I don't think it makes much sense for a home cook.

I used to work in the produce department of a grocery store, and there was one of these bolted to one of our tables and let me tell you, when I had to cut carrot sticks and I had to peel four 20 lb bags of carrots, it was a godsend. I can't imagine having to peel so many carrots by hand.

@@jbearclowater I imagine a much better made stainless steel version for the food industry.

Agreed. And if you didn't want to clean the tips by hand, you could just whack them off along with the ends, and toss 'em in a stock pot.

@@jbearclowater It's the other way around. This is too small and flimsy for food industry, they have commercial peelers for that. It's perfect for a home because it is fairly cheap and I can throw it in one of my drawers for occasional use.

I didnt even notice. I will now look at the pictures in the background in all the videos.

I just noticed the pics matched for the first time 😂

Time stamp? I can't see the changes

@@shazebhussain9104 they mean that depending on what vegetable is being used you will see a drawing framed on the wall

That plastic one is going to break very soon.

It also has the weight of the cast iron, add another 2 kilos of plastic above and it might also do the job.

When I worked at dominos, we had one sort of like that. Cast iron, tiny little grid blades, thing to push through them. Except it wasn't a lever, it was more guillotine on two vertical rails. You pull it up, and then you slam it down. You either cut the tomato, or you're wearing it, but either way, there was NO sticking with that thing.

I thought that is really good for pizza making~ crushed or cut

@@Manicies The one we had at one of the restaurants I worked at had multiple blade arrangements for different cuts. All aluminum and steel, and you could fit a deep 1/6 pan under it. The one problem is that people can be stupid and still keep their fingers holding the vegetables... And there goes our health and safety bonus. The mandoline slicer was thrown out for the same reason.

Your gf: I don't care as long its lube you're using to make slippery

The best part is that Dan mentioned this comment and the others like it in the Cheese video 😂😂😂😂

@@beebradbury8925 I'm literally about to watch that one right now. 💀

😂😂😂😂

What would you redesign? Your Benis?

Oh and for the asparagus it's a bonus that it doesn't peel the tip. Need to look into that! 🤗

I was thinking the same!! Dutchies love white asparagus aswell

That's what most people would do, that way is easier to keep the onion/potato in place

Usually the instructions tell you to do it that way, because flat side up, it can twist on the round bit and the top hinged part can twist and shear and break.. or twist and break and slam your hand into the blades! Ouch... damn. I've owned two that both say flat side down.. I usually just pre rough chop and throw the chunks in however. Those few extra chops save a ton of time and wear on the machine.

I came to the comments to see if anybody else was thinking that. The instant I saw him struggling to push it through, I wondered why he didn't try flipping it.

We had one that was exactly like this and it was aweful broke only after a few days of use and we tested it in different ways. Only got easier when putting veggies on angles. But it has very flimsy connections. Lots of plastic in comes out in small bits aswell

and you are supposed to slap it. pushing is extremely hard but if you just slap it, everything chops nice and fast.

@altoidsours -That's how Martha Stewart does it, too.

What do you mean by “robbed”?

Those carrots were pretty small though.

I think that carrot peeler deserved a 4/5

Agreed

@@alecoloxa right?! The carrots we have in he are like 3 cm in diameter. The ones in the video were anorexic I swear.

I agree

It did look hella flimsy tho. And I think it was a bit overdesigned in ways that made it so you could a lot more easily do the same without it looking as if everything on it is about to break off or break your table with how it's winched in place.

@@kinagrill - And how would you sharpen the blades after a lot of use?

@@MossyMozart Whetstone, or a gadget build for ease of use for such a function... like just about any basic blade sharpener tool out there.

I just got that lmao

Could someone fill me in? Edit: I just got it like 20 seconds after I made this comment.

@@nostekki ithe person is saying that what the dude said could be interpreted as giving the kids the blades

BURN

I've got one of those garlic choppers and I haven't got to using it yet. Now I'm sad 🥺😭 oh wellllll

Definitely. I have a very similar vegetable chopper and it works great if you put stuff in it round side down. There is still some effort involved and more clean up than using a knife, but if you're chopping up multiple vegetables it is a great time saver.

I have a similar tool and the trick is this exactly. having the rounded end towards the blade makes it easy to cut. But the smaller dices are harder than the larger dices.

THANK YOU. I was shouting this at the screen for his whole demonstration, then he rubs salt in the wound by REDESIGNING THE BLADE to do just that. Just flip the veggie, dude!

@@bvoyelr felt the same way. Still makes me somewhat frustrated two weeks later!

We have a more heavy-duty version of that appliance at my workplace; and we always cut the vegetables half as thick as he did before we run them through the chopper. He was creating extra unnecessary work on top of putting it in wrong.

"Sneak attack critical"

I burst out laughing

@@SonicsniperV7 i imagine dan as an assassin whistling around his victims and as soon as they in a back alley, screaming SNEAK ATTACK.

I had the same thought! So frustrating to watch him do it like he did!! I rarely comment on videos like this, but this really hit a nerve haha.

You'd think the guy who helped design a way for computers to be in houses would be a lot smarter than this

Also putting it on a lower surface would give you more leverage

@Ōkami Kibō - That sounds dangerous, trying to use that gadget while balancing the veg on a pointy end. You wouldn't cut that way with a knife.

@@MossyMozart Actually I would, when cutting a vegetable with a knife you put the largest surface on your board and the cut the pointy end with your blade (knife). In that instance you don't have to balance the onion on the gadget, when pressing the large surface of the press will end up balancing the whole thing. It's just physics, less surfaces equal less resistance.

Yeah that thing was definitely bending at the hinge. This screams for some kind of sturdy base and metal. Attach that to a countertop and you could dice anything pretty quickly.

I was thinking about that tortilla press mechanism too! A metal body would definitely work wonders and would be very worth the extra cost too!

This is just a cheap plastic manual french-fry cutter with a short handle. They still make the better metal ones. They even make extra long handled wall mounted metal ones, mostly for commercial use. Worth the buy if you do a lot of dicing, or french-fries.

All onions, as well as all other food that we consume is GMO. A cubic onion would be awesome though.

Honestly, cubic veg wouldn’t require GMO shenanigans - instead a cheaper solution of localizing where the produce is going to grow, and placing a mold made from a breathable material approximately where it should be growing. That’s actually what they do to produce those square shaped melons that were talked about a few years back

The dirt is just there to add some texture.

@@SonicsniperV7 It's just an extra crispy carrot xD

I could just put my container under my counter top and let the carrot falls into containers, easier to move, rather than lifting the fully loaded container from counter top and potentially hurting myself

You could probably clamp it to the bottom shelf of a wall cupboard so that it would fall on the countertop.

@@AnnaReed42 Yeah that sounds like a much better option. But I think the most logical thing would to make it able to stand on the countertop so the carrot would fall on the countertop

That was my thought as well

"I'm gonna try sneaking up on it"

*proceeds to body slam

Congratulations, Its a boy!

HE'S GIVING BIRTH!!! ..... to chopped onions 😄

The instructions say to half and place it flat side down. That's not Dan. That's them. It's just a cheap implementation of a successful design.

seeing someone who passionate about their job and know their stuff without being cocky is always nice for me..

@rigte056 - Excellent point.

I commented this on another video of his. Along with weighing how well it works, when it comes to cleaning and storing if it doesn't measure up to the common kitchen knife, it ain't worth it.

I got the garlic zoom for my chronic hand pain, and it helps so much more than having to finely chop garlic. Cleans easy with a veggie dedicated toothbrush if cleaned quickly. Cuts pretty decent sizes pieces, and usually 3 at a time. Otherwise, one slice down the middle of the clove is easier than dicing the whole clove for me

i’ve worked in kitchens with metal industrial choppers and they’re so expensive but they last practically forever snd it’s easy to replace blades. definitely an investment though.
