Do these gadgets work?

Are these gadgets clever or should you never buy them?
Hi I am Ann Reardon, How to Cook That is my youtube channel it is filled with crazy sweet creations made just for you. Today we are testing kitchen gadgets, does the aqua pure actually work? Let's review the corn kernelled, the baggy holder and the polaroid candy pen? Join me for creative cakes, chocolate & desserts, new video every Friday.

Feel like binge watching? Here's some more of my videos:

If only cans had a small tab to open them... If only.

AquaPure: "We have scientific studies that prove the effectiveness of our product!"
Ann: "May I see them?"
AquaPure: "... no."

[agentmustache]

As a microbiologist, you did SUCH an amazing job, not only communicating the chemistry behind how cathodes/anode reactions work, but also in demonstrating how to conduct a relatively simple but effective experiment to see if the device did what it claimed to. What a high quality video!

As a chemist, my eyes rolled so hard at that water gadget. I appreciate you going into the science of how it (doesn't really) work.

[cawliss]

"I'll let you decide which method you want to use."

Ann is savage in the sweetest way.

[cursedwyvern]

As a psychology student, we value our research a lot. The fact that Aquapure weren’t willing to disclose their method and results is a massive red flag to me. Open science is important and customers should be able to verify if their research was high quality or not.



Thanks for your work! 😊🎉❤️

As a PhD chemist I love your full explanation for why the AquaPure doesn't work. Absolutely spot on that you need a concentrated salt solution in order to get chlorine gas. And as you said, if the solution is concentrated enough to produce chlorine gas (corrosive) and hydrogen gas (flammable) I wouldn't want to be making too much of it in my kitchen.

Ann: "Kids couldn't use it"
Dave: "Oh I think kids could use it!"

The most Dad's Home thing I've ever heard 😂 I adore you two!!

petition to get Anne a full microbiology lab

For the corn kerneler, it's helpful for those with dental conditions. My father can't eat corn on the cobb, and he had to remove the kernels by hand then eat them when we buy fresh corns. (Needless to say, he likes canned corns a lot more.)

I'm always so impressed by the thorough testing you do. Rather than just tell people oh this doesn't work, you show them and really help them understand WHY. Amazing work as always Anne 👏

[vidhoard]

I was honestly shocked at the difference between control and 5 seconds under tap water on the vegetables. I always wash mine but didn't really realize how big of a difference it made!

[BranMuffin]

I so so so appreciate the lengths you went through to set up a legitimate experiment to test that gadget! These are the things I wish I knew or had access to as a consumer, but would never have the time, money, or space to run a whole experiment myself or even do any of the digging through the company. You are officially my hero!!!

[NWolfsson]

On the can opener... Biggest issue for me, not taking account if the design works or not, is that depending on the company and the country you're in, cans can have drastically different designs, thickness and rigidity.

[thegavin]

I love how you just get right into it. Within 30 seconds we’re watching content not just promo etc. thanks queen for being the realest YouTuber still around

[Lostinblue]

I just about died laughing when you revealed the dish from the carrot you had washed under the tap xD Thank you so much for going to such lengths to deduce if the machine was functioning as advertised and how it compares to traditional methods.

[barbjalcorn]

Ha ha ha Oh Anne I’ll bet the Aqua Pure company wasn’t banking on you being their usual customer. Scientist Anne & Dave to the rescue. I think I’ll stick to washing my vegetables under the tap just like I always have done. Thanks guys 🇦🇺❤️

[jasond.b-w]

I have a baggy opener as an incomplete quadriplegic, I think its a different brand and it grips the bag MUCH better but otherwise exactly the same. Definitely worth it if you don’t have two hands or the dexterity to use other methods!

[dystopyxrose]

Ann’s out here making me think I actually like chemistry or something
I don’t, but when Ann teaches it, it doesn’t make me cry, which is cool

[saneminotaur]

I really can't express how much I appreciate you making these kinds of videos where you actually delve into the science of how things work, take the time to explain it to us, and also give us the truth that companies won't give us. Thank you, Anne! <3
