5 Avocado Kitchen Gadgets Tested By Design Expert | Well Equipped | Epicurious

[HiMyNameIsColdguy]

I would like him going over 5 gadgets he designed before retiring and finding ways he could improve them now

[Jadex]

just saying washability should be a test

[lvodniza]

The avoquado is actually pretty innovative. It has a pitter that actually works which is great especially if you’re not confident stabbing out the pit

[EugenieJustine]

The left handed oiled test gives me major anxiety when a blade and avocado are involved

[ed_halley]

So with the 5-way tool, all the parts of the tool EXCEPT the masher are pretty effective at giving you a mashed avocado.

[annapruitt]

I love his jokes! Haha he’s so cute like “avacadon’t” and “maybe Mr. Avocado should go back to school and become Dr. Avocado”

[Maazzzo]

I'm so happy Dan's back. Do any of the designers ever get back to you when you've reviewed their products?

[fazza]

11pm: *its time for the left handed oil test*

[b.i.c.violet]

"I see how why there is no Mrs avocado"
That avocado is now grilled.

[recoil]

I'd like to see the product where he finally says "No, just no. There is nothing that can be done about this."

[Yatsukihime]

The problem I found with these avocado tools (my flatmate had all of them, among other specific-fruit cutters/splitters/corers etc) is that they only work well on specific-sized avocados. If the avo is long or small or too big then they are useless.

[eeee.]

Ngl, he looks like science if it was a person lol.

[fijimabel]

ok it’s 6:05am. i haven’t slept and i’m just watching a design expert improve avocado tools.

i am not regretting it. please protect him at all costs. his videos are one of the reasons why i’m subscribed to this channel. also because of frank.

[nightskydiamonds]

I don't even like avocados. I just like you guys.

[succulentcarrot]

Dan is too wholesome, must protect at all cost


_change my mind_

[daverapp]

more than 16 minutes into the video I noticed the back wall of the set has avocados hanging on it. Nice touch.

[zoobagamingchannel]

My family: buys a new kitchen gadget
My mom: what are you doing with the oil
Me: it‘s time for the left hand oil test!

[izzateimnln]

Product manufacturers: write that down, write that down.

[quintessences]

I would love to see him discuss his portfolio, and the purposeful design choices he made

[Lucky_Forrest]

Honestly I just want to see the knife and spoon with the left handed oil test
