Glad to find out I am ancient, j/k. When I was a kid in the 70's, we had one of those apple peelers. Was a lifesaver when peeling several hundred apples for canning. We would leave the little bits of peel on the apples for a bit of texture. Then take the peelings and feed them to the pigs.

Others make 20-minute videos about restoring antique devices - Ann casually restored an antique device just to get started with her video 👏

I have a 1930s Mixmaster. It is my everyday mixer and works beautifully. I did get it serviced about 20 years ago from a guy who completely rebuilds them. He was a collector of Mixmasters and I had the last attachment he needed to complete his collection, the bean bean slicer. So he rebuilt my machine for free. It worked before but ran like new afterwards and had fresh paint and decal

Wow, that last mixer was so smooth. I'd definitely give it a go. That's very cool!

I love the way Dave and Anne build each other up. So lovely to see a couple who seems to both love each other and like each other. Great energy!

I love the rotary egg beater ! I have one and it's still one i use when i dont want to use electricity.

I would love more like this. I loved learning more about the history of products we still use today

We had a "Kan" in our cottage in Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada! My great aunts sent it over from Australia for my grandparent's 25th anniversary. I remember using it as a child and loving it because it was so fast and easy. Also, we had no electricity and using a hand whisk was exhausting.

9:35 grew up with one at our cabin
I absolutely love it
In stead in a fork or a regular whisk and having to pull out a electric beater or mixer
Id use it in modern times

Loving Dave's Twenty-One Pilots hoodie and the Noah Kahan reference with that sneaky "season of the sticks" 😂 Congrats on finishing the second book! And thanks for another fascinating video, Ann ❤

My mum had a rotary beater up until the ‘90s. Worked a charm

Your clever or never videos are my favorite one y'all do. And congrats to your hubby! 🎉

[TheBestCat]

I love these clever or never videos. Was fascinating learning about the evolution of whiskers and testing these gadgets was pretty cool to see. Also a huge congrats on Dave for his award!! I am very happy for him and I wish him success on his second book!!

"You might have wrecked it."
Nice move Dave; well done sir.

I would definitely use the 1853 hand mixer. It's really a fun design.

[vanshikachawla]

Ann! I loved this video so much. The research done on this is phenomenal.

At my grandparents summer house (over 100 years old with no electricity) we have a similar hand cranked whisk.
