Ok, I paused this video and went and bought a noodle basket. Why did I never think of this until I saw it here?! No draining noodles and nearly burning myself in the process. Genius.

[spencerbowman]

harold always comes to the videos with the best segments, hes carrying the new BA chefs

[tipshaxx_for_you]

Love Jessie's energy in every video. So chill and calming, but also coming in with the funny quips

[aronc]

I must say, I’ve had a dough whisk for years and use it more than my basic whisk. It’s the same thing but easier. Lol

[mosesjeromelazaro]

the part where Chris vigorously shakes the box of metal cookie cutters and tosses the box after while Harold curses in disbelief is gold 9:36 mwahahaha

[hannahs]

watched this when i saw the cookie press in the thumbnail my mom her press she has me time her when she’s using it it’s so efficient

[spotdogit]

Chris, that one you couldn’t figure out will make a heart shaped spritz cookie. I wish I still had my grandma’s press. It was just like that one you pulled out of the cabinet.

[zerluv]

I have one of those old school cookie guns and I love it more that the new pampered chef one I was gifted.

[kaiju_k]

The Danish Dough Whisk looks like a tool I'd buy, probably good with guacamole and mashed potatoes too.

[mattymattffs]

The cookie press is also a great way to make spätzle and other traditional dumpling style noodles. All without needing to have the grater or special tools

[konzertnr]

The blade of the bonito shaver can be adjusted using a hammer in order to get thinner / thicker flakes

[lilacsplendors]

It would be interesting for someone to use all these tools for one dish and see what comes out of it

[sallieannwestbrook]

Love my cookie press. Favorite is to add a little almond to the dough and a dab of raspberry jam

[CharlahMurphah]

I literally have that old cookie press kit still! My grandma used to use it to make Christmas cookies every year

[jkaznosky]

Danish dough whisk and a spider are very very good tools to have.

[yahimaperez]

Harold Villarosa needs his own lil series

[kikiransom]

A Christmas tree shaped spritz cookie is my childhood.

[edisoncummings]

so funny how chris uses scare quotes when referring to ‘spritz’ when that’s the real name for it lmao. It’s an abbreviation of Spritzgebäck, the German name for it.

[emmereffing]

Uncle Hurrol and Susan be keepin it real real.

[ndc]

Y'all should do favorite counter top appliance next!
