I don't even need to read the title anymore, I just see this man's face and click

"And include the logo of the company so that when you do find it in your drawer, you'd know where it goes"
Dang, that's some next level design experience, and exactly why I watch this series

[juuuu]

I'm so happy he mentioned that food can get stuck on the crevices which make it harder to clean!!

That carrot machine is awesome. My family make carrot dishes about every 3-4 months in huge quantity on certain religious festivals . By that i mean more than 3-5 maunds (1 maund in Pakistan is about 40-50 kg) . I remember 2-3 year back my father bringing about 12 maund carrot. And there were about 10 people working with us and still it took them almost 18 hour( 12ish on 1st day and remaining of next one) to peel the carrots. It was fun but alot of work. Had we know about this would have made a huge difference in work speed. I would like to buy it if i can find it in Pakistan

Honestly if I had to peel a bunch of carrots that peeler would be dope

[lorymarymari]

I like this man so much!! he knows how to communicate with the audience

[QienCho]

As a person working in hotel industry, I would like to have few of the carrot pealer, I can imagine it come in handy during mass production of food including carrot and parsnips, or even peeling cucumber for cucumber salad, the carrot peeler is truly underestimated

I used to feel so annoyed that SO MANY kitchen gadgets existed.. now I am forever grateful, because I could watch Dan reviewing them forever! 😅

At a kitchen I worked at we had a cast iron version of that onion/potato chopper thing. Because it was solid & the plastic lid didn't flex like that one does, it went through anything.

*Me and the gf getting frisky in the bedroom*
Her: Babe what are you doing
Me: By making my non-dominant hand slippery, it's gonna quickly highlight areas for improvement

[Dammydiv]

I love how the framed pictures on the wall change depending on the context of the video

[kitchenmom]

The "carrot" peeler is sold as a white asparagus peeler over here in Germany. Because we go insane for white asparagus and you need to peel it we peel insane amounds of it in the short time it's in season so many people love gadgets like this.

9:05 One thing I noticed when Dan was using the vegetable chopper was that he loaded the onion and the potato with the cut side against the cutting blades. Trying to force all the blades through a flat surface at once was probably making it unduly hard to operate.

[allenjorpson]

"So! I brought another table to put on this table." Instant like on the video

[nico]

8:47 I rewatched it 2 times to realize that he meant giving the gadget to the kids without the blades, not taking out these blades and give'em to the kids for them to play with

[jameson]

I use my full star vegetable slicer almost every day. I got it just for onions because I don't like chopping them, but I ended up really loving it. The trick is to quarter the vegetables, not half them. It cuts through like butter with very little effort if they are quartered.

When I worked in a deli, we used to have to cut grapes up for chicken salad. We put two container lids together and put the grapes between them. It worked well!

[adinamusrepova]

Dan brings me so much happiness for some reason. Bless you mr gadget man

[chankwanting]

The upright carrot peeler was robbed! It did what it promised to do, unlike many of the products featured on this series.

Would you buy one?

.... okay no, but still, it was robbed I tell you!
