I like these types of videos. More to come I hope!

Duuuude, I have had that tiny spatula for a few years now (it was a stocking stuffer from my mommy one year) and not even kidding it's my favorite of all my cooking utensils. I never thought I'd feel that strongly about anything like this, but that thing is fabulous.

Please do more of videos like these. I’d be curious to know what each ATK members favourite kitchen gadget is

Love your videos!! There is always good info coming from your kitchen. God bless and stay safe and healthy

I love those flexible cutting mats! They don't replace my regular boards but they add some *flexibility* to ingredient prep 😉

Gotta say, I love Lisa. She’s very knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and talks to the camera like she’s talking to a friend. And yes, she sounds completely like Darlene from Roseanne - so you get that same no BS feeling you do from that character... :) She’s a v different personality from Julia, but they are both incredibly natural presenters and the stars of ATK online.

I really enjoy this segment. The gadgets you mentioned are great. The flexible cutting boards are wonderful. They are light, durable and make cleanup a breeze. I use mine as covers over my wooden boards. Really like.

As a Swede, one of the most surprising things I encountered was learning that not everyone around the world uses those types of cheese slicers. I believe it was invented in Norway. And has entirely taken over all of Scandinavia. Everyone has multiple ones here, and it’s the only way people slice cheese. They also stay sharp for decades, because all you use them for is cutting cheese, and the sharp edge is pretty well protected. Even though they are often pretty roughly handled and tossed into a full kitchen drawer, banging around. And washed in the dishwasher multiple times a week. A tip is that after you sliced the slices of cheese, you can use the slicer to cut some cucumber slices to top off the cheese sandwich with. It works surprisingly well, and saves on dishes. Not very efficient if you are going to slice up a whole cucumber, but if you want just a couple for a sandwich it’s pretty great.

Cheese planes are very common in Denmark. I have to say, having owned many of them, even some vintage ones, the best ones are made of plastic. If the cheese is just a little bit sticky, it works right off the bat, where the metal ones need to be 'broken in' with a couple of slices of cheese :)

I was pleasantly surprised that I own and enjoy the same spatula for exactly those reasons!! Thanks for spreading the word!!

Lisa's AT Kitchen videos are my favorite...very informative and straightforward....

100% agree! All 3 are great, we use them almost every day!

My absolute favorite spatula big or small (i even have the normal size recommended atk pick) is the $1.50 mini spatulas from Daiso. Absolutely love those things. Small enough to get into little jars but big enough to use to stir things in pots.

This is the most useful kind of video, thank you.

I like Lisa as the gadget guru.

I liked learning thinner slices of cheese release flavor. I have found smaller spatulas and like them better for certain jobs.

Wow good content in under 2 minutes. Just ordered the mats!

Yay!! More gadgets. I was just saying to hubby what a bummer--I had EVERYTHING I needed for the kitchen. I love when the world proves me wrong.......... : )

Miss you guys. Will be glad when you're back full steam. ❣️

Great Video and thank you for the links. Keep these type of videos coming!!

I appreciate you actually making a decision and recommendation. Thank you.

Hi ladies, have a super year. Thanks for the great content.🙏🏻

As always, great suggestions. Thanks!

Good recommends. Thank you.

Nice! I’ve got the OXO Spatula at home, it’s been my go-to for years. 👍

I'm just saying hello. I love your channel. All the comparisons with reasons why each is best. The food science episodes are my favorites!

I trust Lisa completely. Her videos are always super informative.

Short and useful. Great vid, thanks.

Thanks Lisa, as always great info. Oh, & yes I didn't know I needed all 3 of these items but your video is SOooo persuasive. RMH/Ohio

OXO is my Favorite go to company for things to make life in my kitchen easier, more organized and prettier to look at!! Their can openers, and Pop containers, spatulas are all great and well worth the price.

Cheese plane. Hey, I have that one! Flexible cutting board. Been using them for over 10 years. Mini-spatula. Who doesn't have one of these? Drat. Lucky me, I have those gadgets and they are useful!

The oxo good grips spatula is nice initially but two things bother me about it - 1. If you get a color other than the dark grey/black shown, it fades over time. Was I eating that silicone color or washing it away? 2. The square interior base of the spatula is hard with the silicone surrounding it. There is a little bit of room on the perimeter ( less than 1/4”) that is not reenforced by this base and is free to flex. This also wears over time and we’ve had a portion break off. The break was disappointing. I like the brand oxo as they make good products but I wish this spatula held up better. We always hand wash things as well and never subject them to the dishwasher.

Love these reviews. Thanks

Lisa is the best thing about America's test kitchen

We love you Lisa!

Bridgett is a doll I like her personality. Great at what she does.

I have the cutting mats and love them. Thanks Lisa!

Oxo has certainly come up in the world and I am happy to see it! It is also still affordable. When I began to have nerve damage in my hands my mother purchased me and also good grips can opener and a couple of other items one was a vegetable peeler. Now I pretty much have no feeling in my hands except a lot of pain and I can still use that vegetable peeler! A handheld can opener is no longer an option for me but that peeler is still with me and I still use it! :-)

I have that spatula! It's one of my favorites

I need those gadgets because I have cheese to cut up now and the cheese slicer would be great to have. I do need those mats to when working with meat also and the spatula would be great to have also. Thanks for sharing this information with us all.

I buy anything you tell me to and I always love it!

Love the cheese slice . My next gadget! I just bought the flexible fish spatula from another video ❤️ it ❤️ it ❤️ it!

Love these kind of videos

I bought flexible cutting mats 11.5 x 14 size. They don't fit on the bottom rack (horizontally) of the dishwasher without hitting the sprayer arm. If you put it at an angle the mat gets warped in the dishwasher. Once they warp they don't lay well when you start chopping. Back to drawing board ATK, or recommend the 8 x 11 size.

I found those flexible mats months ago and am thankful every time I grab one. That OXO cookie spatula is something that I REALLY didn't know I needed. However, being left-handed I cannot use it as designed for working the edges of my pans.

1) any speed peeler 2) flexible chopping boards last weeks instead of years as a solid wooden one 3) VictorInox offset spatula aka Swiss-classic = 17$

I have had 2 other Oxo spatulas that fall apart with delamination of silicone cover after multiple uses. Am skeptical about trying another oxo spatula product. Is this mini spatula different?

I got the mats from ikea…lots cheaper, and there’s a grid on one side, that makes it possible to roll out naan, and they don’t retract!

Good reviews and reasons to buy the winners

Love these types of videos even tho I'm trying to slim down my kitchen, not add more. Hwr, the cheese plane & the small spatula. I've got one spatula my family has dubbed, 'the meatloaf spatula. I've had it for some 30-35yrs. An uncle cut down the metal section so it'd fit well inside my loaf pan. He made a sharp edge on the end so it'd slice thru meatloaf & anything else I cooked in that particular loaf pan & the pan is about 10yrs older than the adapted spatula. LOL

It's amazing how quick some of these companies up the prices after your show.

Just saying "Hello"! Love you guys!

The cutting mats also make great mats for sorting picture puzzle pieces!

I trust the recipes from ATK. Among my favorites are Boston cream pie and North Carolina lemon pie with crushed saltine crust. Keep it up, ladies. Love ya!

Love your videos. I've been watching America's Test Kitchen and reading Cook's Illustrated for decades. I have owned three different cheese planes over the last 30 or 40 years. But I must say Wuesthoff is my least favorite. I gave it away as a present but I still use the other two.

What is the best drip coffee makes. Thanks By the way I was in need of cutting boards , 🤭☺️

Nice job Lisa!

Could you please list product brands & style numbers when applicable. You could have a link that would make it as easy as your other SM platforms. I would like to know brand of flexible mats that were chosen.

Cheese planers work great for slicing cucumbers, and can be used to peel veg too.

The cheese cutter works fine for cold butter and vegetables in a pinch (slice, not peel).

Short but is well packed with content

Yes. I need more useful clutter!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Do those dexa flexible cutting mats stay flat? I have a set of a different brand of flexible cutting mats that don't stay flat! It's very frustrating because they are unsafe 2 use now. They are only about a year old!

When I was growing up, we called cheese planes “slicers.” When I moved out of my parents’ house, I couldn’t get my own for years because every search for a “cheese slicer” would return contraptions with wires with rollers that always cut too thick, and the wire would always end up bending after a month.

Great video!

Lisa! Yay!

If Lisa thinks I need it, then I need it.

I'm sold on that mat just by mousing-over the video before I clicked on it.

Lisa! Can you please do an equipment test on rolling pins? I need to buy one but there are so many materials to choose from... I could use your help!

Best culinary channel!

They're already paired up on Amazon's "Frequently bought together" list. Well done.

Thanks Lisa for sharing best gadgets/utensils for kitchen. Still searching for the Nesco vacuum sealer.

Small spatula is currently unavailable at Amazon and the notation says they don't know if they will ever be back in stock :(

Hoping to find these items on Amazon. Thanks

The only cutting boards I use are those cutting mats. They don’t ruin my knives, they’re easy to sterilize, and they come in 4 or 5 packs so I can use one for meat, one for veggies, etc. Oh, and they really last a long time.

Lisa is the best

That cute little spatula is for right handed specific people. Lefties beware

you can find those cheese slicers in basically every Dutch household.

There are more kitchen's gadget I would like to know about , please give us more . I'm so tired of buying tools I never used and not having those I need . There has been such an evolution in kitchen in the last decades that what was recommend 20 years ago in a book : All what you need in your kitchen , is obsolete , today . What grandma used to used or my mother , it's out , today .

I hated the flexible mats I've had in the past, but this one looks like it might win me back over, especially for veggie prep. For cheese, I have a 50's small cheese wire that works excellent on, say, a good cheddar, but I would like one that makes getting the wafer thin slices on harder cheese easier.

I really didn't know I needed them. I'll probably buy the mats for sure. Way to keep the economy running!

Please ask Lisa McManus to do a video about the virtues of the bird's beak pairing knife. A standard 4" or 5" pairing knife will do everything the bird's beak does. But the bird's beak is the best if you have a lot of strawberries to hull, or eyes to remove from potatoes or pineapples. Your wrist will thank you!

That Wusthof cheese plane is now $35 on Amazon - is there a runner-up that comes closer to the $20 range? Thanks.

I have an adjustable wire cheese cutter that works great, don't think I need a plane. Edge grain cutting board ever since my first Tojiro knife sunk into a plastic board and micro chipped. I'll pass on another spatula.

How are those flexible cutting mats for knife longevity - compared to wood?

Question on the flexible cutting mats: If you use them on a granite surface instead of a wood cutting board, what happens to the blade of your knife?

Sometime worth getting lies in this link. Thank you for doing the work, that makes my life simpler.

When I use a cheese plane as she showed, it always breaks off a messy and thick edge when I get to the end of the slice. How do you stop that from happening? The plane seems sharp enough UP to that point. I sometimes hold my finger back there trying to reinforce the last bit, but that's a bit too close to the edge to be called safe. The video examples did not show the tail end.

I'm in the market for a new turner/backup silicone spatula. Might look for that cookie spatula to fill that niche.

Hi i love your show!! Where can I buy these. Besides Amazon?. I did make your recipe Korean chicken. It was great. Bridget, Julia & Dan souza and all you are fabulous.. im from Boston too lol thanku for making a great show. Stay safe

ATK team, please test some grain mills for us folks who bake our bread daily, there are so many of them out there and no real pro reviews. Thanks.

1:27 monochrome scrambled eggs look hideous.

Doesn’t the flexible cutting mats dull your knives?

these black and white shots give me major infomercial vibes...

Please, Lisa more of these!

I have been a fan since PBS time on Saturdays. I used to wait to watch the show. If I may ask where Mr Campbelle? ( hope I remember the name right)

My father preferred a wire cheese cutter. Is the plane better?
