Testing 3 Handy Kitchen Gadgets!

Today I'm testing out three rather handy kitchen gadgets I found on Amazon. The gravity mill set is the Number 1 Best Seller on Amazon by "Sweet Alice" although I've seen numerous brands featuring virtually identical designs.

I have the salt and pepper shakers and have kind of a love/hate relationship with them. It's very easy to over salt your food because as soon as you tip it over, a bunch of fine salt plops out from the previous time you used it. Because of that, it's actually still a two-handed operation for me, since I dispense it into my hand before sprinkling it on my food.

The measuring spoon seems promising, but I kind of wish you'd tried it with a less viscous liquid before calling it water tight.

I may have been watching this channel too long when I get excited about how there's going to be a video in a year about how well these items held up.

I remember watching Good Eats with Alton Brown on food Network years ago and he had an adjustable measuring cup as well. He mostly used it for thick liquids like honey.

I inherited one of those push measure cups from my mom who got it from one of those home kitchen items party. It seriously rocks, especially if you bake and need to use sticky things like peanut butter, honey, corn syrup, etc. Barely anything left behind and easy to clean.

I've always wondered about the quality of the adjust a cup & these auto salt n pepper mills. U never know how they're going to hold up with everyday use so I'm looking forward to your 1 year review of them. So grateful to u for doing that by the way, no one else I know of does 1 yr reviews & they're so incredibly helpful!!! Sometimes I can't believe a full year has gone by bc I feel like I just watched the original review...time sure does fly in the product review world, lol.

Accuracy is important in cooking, and those were large margins for error. Personally both the adjust-a-cup and spoon would be a hard pass from me. Also for the water-tight test, maybe using a thin liquid like vanilla extract or water would be more helpful than a thick syrup?

I’ve had two adjust-a-cups for more than a decade and they still look like new. They’re especially good for measuring things like sour cream or brown sugar because you can use it like a plunger to get the ingredients out. Much easier than a regular measuring cup. I put a little bit of olive oil around the seal after I wash it to keep the rubber conditioned.

I have had my stainless battery-operated salt and pepper mills for almost 2 years. I ❤LOVE❤ them and 💯% recommend them to EVERYONE, especially those with arthritis/dexterity issues in their hands. Also, I have been able to let it go on it's own in my salt/pepper box. When it sounds like it needs more product, I give it a shake and it continues. I don't let it go for too long, but it's handy if you need to use your hands for something or if you don't want steam clogging the gears and you want to fill a salt/pepper box faster. I can't say enough praises about these shakers.

You should try peanut butter or honey in the adjusta cup. Then you push the honey or pb out by pushing up from the bottom. It is sold as no mess measuring. It should work well

I bought the salt and pepper grinder for my mom’s birthday. She likes them so far but if they fall onto the ground it will activate causing salt or pepper to to continuously grind

The salt and pepper grinders are really cool, but man that is a lot of batteries for them. That's my one hangup with them.

[pearsrtasty]

i am very bias when it comes to measuring units...i love to bake and you need to be pretty precise when it comes to baking. i dont think i would use anything like those adjust-a-cups for baking, that is for sure. now that i am older, i have actually started using a scale! alot of americans don't really do that, i would have to say, but once you start you will notice a difference and it's pretty cool :D

[SugarDemon]

Adjustable measuring cups have been around forever and IMO, they rock. I just finally had to replace my OXO one, which my mom bought in the 2000s. Naturally the one I just bought isn't as sturdy as my old one, but it seems to work fine so far. They're especially great for measuring thick, hard-to-pour ingredients like honey, molasses, corn syrup, etc.

Would have been fun and informative to see a battery life test on the salt & pepper shakers. 12 batteries is a lot nowadays! Also the people that said the salt and pepper shakers stopped working after a few months - since the duo requires TWELVE batteries, I bet one of the batteries eventually leaked and corroded the terminals. Something to watch out for long term with anything that uses batteries. (Clean the contacts every so often with isopropyl alcohol)

[Poppawoody]

I literally just saw that same exact salt & pepper shaker a Goodwill. Still new in box, I didn't buy cause, well 12 batteries is like a whole new pack of batteries. I saw them a week ago.

I have to say thank you for all the work you do with the reviews here. I mentioned this before but I have no doubt that you have saved people a lot of money with the revies you have done on here. I am glad, even with a huge channel membership you have that you give your honest thoughts on products. You seem like a down to earth guy and someone who gets along well with everyone. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do and I wish you nothing but success in the future.

I love that he said millimeter instead of milliliter!! 😂 😂 Had to listen twice just to make sure my ears were not deceiving me! 😂 😂

[dieselpunkpirate]

I've been using the pepper grinder for about 3 years now and it's been fantastic the whole time. Sometimes it needs a small shake to get the corns in the right orientation but works great.

[jboomhauer]

6 batteries?!! That's enough to power a Sega Game Gear for almost 30 mins!

[jeffwilliams]

I bought those same salt and pepper mills. The pepper worked well however, the salt quit after about 8 months. It seems that the salt corroded the metal shaft and it got stuck thus burning out the motor. I tried to get a replacement but, the company didn't respond. So I went back to the manual one that I used for years. Now, on the manual one, I disassemble it after every "tank full" and rinse the salt out and let it air dry for a day. It seems to work great.
