10 absolutely useless kitchen “must-haves” you don’t need 

I have to defend the air fryer ... as someone who is only ever cooking for one person, it's so much more economical to use the air fryer instead of having the whole oven on to heat up e.g. a single veggie burger, one bowl of baked oats. It cooks things so much more quickly too and the texture of things is way superior. Mine is also a combo one that has bake, pressure cook, steam, saute etc functions so it's definitely multi functional and not a waste of space, I use it every day! I still live at home but I know when I eventually move out I won't bother buying an oven if the house doesn't already have one, my air fryer will be all I need!

Omg I really appreciate you mentioning people with disabilities. I’m legally blind and I enjoy using chopper tools because my knife skills aren’t great. I loved this video!

I’m definitely an air fryer defender. I live in a small apartment with bad ventilation. Every time I turn on my oven, it makes my space so unbearably hot. In the summer, I can’t handle it. Air fryer is the only way.

as someone who grew up in a household that bakes a lot keeping essentials like flour, sugar and cocoa in airtight containers is pretty important to keep it contained (the paper bags can spill/leak since it's so fine) and also to keep bugs out (the amount of time we've had to throw out flour due to bugs getting in). But buying a bunch of containers just to put sealed packaged snacks in that already come in packaging... why

I’d love to see some more videos like this. I think an Amazon bathroom “must haves” could be interesting

I love a labeled and containered pantry. I use upcycled jars for my ingredients and use painter's tape for the labels so they can be changed easily as the jars empty out. I switched to keeping everything in glass after I got hit by pantry beetles, their little mandibles can't get through glass.

as a (clumsy) neurodivergent person with a ton of executive dysfunction around basic needs like keeping myself fed, the air fryer and the mandoline dicers/choppers have completely changed my ability to take care of myself lol. But my air fryer also acts as a slow cooker and a pressure cooker so at least it's multi purpose lol

I'd love more of these videos! I agree with your take on this crap, BUT my air fryer is one of my best kitchen purchases. I live alone and a lot of the time it doesn't make sense to turn on the oven. I'm well-aware that it doesn't have magical "frying powers." I just see it as a tiny and more energy-efficient oven.

Overall I think that no item is a "must have" for everyone, but many items are a must have for someone! For example as someone with ADHD, putting my food into clear containers where I can see the contents and not the distracting labels greatly increases my ability to feed myself while reducing my stress and the amount of food I waste, so for me clear containers are a "must have". Someone else though might find it unnecessary and annoying to move their food into another container just for the visual appeal. It's important to think about what really makes a significant positive impact in your life, and avoid purchasing things that don't just because they're novel and because an influencer said you should.

As someone who lives in the UK in a damp block of flats (70s and someone literally flooded their flat while it was uninhabited) it is soooo much better to have glass jars over paper packing. It keeps certain products a lot more dry. I also have a dehumidifier that I use regularly.

I gotta defend the Airfryer as well! I purchased it almost 4 years ago and it's one of my most used kitchen devices. I use it for everything, baking tofu, making fries (from real cut potatoes, I dot buy frozen fries from the store), bake veggies, rolls, toast my bread, make cooked rice crispy and heat it up, I bake sliced apples inside and let them caramalise a bit for my porridge, etc etc. The Airfryer is soo versatile to me and I very rarely use my oven. Also love my Instantpot which I use every week.

I don't have the weird silicone grease floppy thing, but I do have a grease guard, which is a circle of metal mesh (to let steam escape) with a handle attached, and it helps yes keep the counters clean but also keeps the grease pops from hitting me or nearby people when I'm cooking. I don't use it as often as I should but it's a life saver when I do need it, and definitely more useful and with a longer life span than that silicone funnel thing

I’m all for toaster ovens if you don’t want to use or don’t have an oven. I can fit a whole personal pizza or 8x8 cake pan in mine and it’s made of metal not 90% plastic like air fryers so it’s 10 years in and still going strong.

As a dog owner, my handheld vacuum cleaner has been in daily use for seven years :D

Agreeing so hard… I’ve always been a bit of a hardass about this, but I’ve been cooking since I was eight and you really only need a knife or two, a couple of bowls, and a wooden spoon or two. A friend of mine once gave me a whisk as a gift because she was fed up with hearing me declare, “A fork does the same thing!!” I still mostly use the fork.

We received such flack for our modest wedding registry back in the day, but we had just been given secondhand, great condition (some still nwt) stuff. We were like, "pan, pot, big potato knife, small strawberry knife, spatula, ladle-- nah, we're good." 🤷‍♀️ But yeesh, folks were annoyed about not getting to shop more!

The knife or regular scissor is actually easier to use if you have hand issues like arthritis or reduced grip strength. It's easier to cut with a SHARP knife or scissor and you can continuously sharpen these with a whetstone or have them sharpened by someone else. The special single-purpose scissor will get dull quickly and make it so hard to cut the vegetables and at some point just mash them and then you have to clean out the stuck bits.

Here, here!! I love watching RU-vid videos that say it like it is. Love watching RU-vidrs that have great information, but lose some respect when they start talking about items that you need to get. I laughed when you brought up the point of decanting food items into containers… Where the heck do we put the remainder? I never could understand this. And I cut my carrot peeling time by 100%… I don’t peel them… Scrub them and save the nutrients! As for any of the items listed, if I have them, only the air fryer… And have to agree minimal usage/too friggin’ big

I have to defend the air fryer and the mandoline slicer. Both save me time and are easy to use, and specially the mandoline helps with the prep meal process. Other things, yes I do agree.

Hi Gittemary ❤ THE FELLOW OUTRAGE I FELT AT THAT PEELER IN THE OPENING! 😂 Also, from experience, that multi-bladed scissors is indeed so difficult to clean. As a kid, my kitchen chore was to quickly chop small amounts of herbs in a cup with normal scissors - though I would recommend using extremely sturdy cups like from metal, because i once broke a glass with the enthusiastic cutting 😅 Also, thank you so much for saying multiple times in the first half that mindful usage and accessibility is important to take into account for certain products. I had some moments where I was feeling a bit apprehensive because yeah, I do have knives, cloths, and usually should also have the time, energy and love for being in the kitchen, I love to cook! But the trendy "must-haves" that I sometimes feel a bit guilty about DO help me so, so much with keeping me healthier and happy on a weekly basis: - my mini-airfryer (second-hand through my mom 🎉) actually fits in my student's studio while an oven doesn't - and I miss ovens INTENSELY, but at least I can bake small cakes to treat myself, and experiment with making single-portions of oven dishes (lasagna, gratin, veggies and their various cook time, snacks...) - the spiralizer, thankfully designed a bit like an upsized, two-sided pencil sharpener and thus stored in a drawer, helps me with my veggie-intake (zoodles with ALL the long pastas and noodles! I love how I can spiral both linguini and zoodles onto a fork and pick up noodles and zoodles with chopsticks in one bite!) - when I don't have the energy to vaccuum-sweep-clean everything, I can at least get the worst with the (second-)hand vaccuum in a really short and efficient time - I don't have the mandolin slicer box myxelf, but I've seen tips on making full salads for one, reducing on cutting and cleaning time since a single portion can be made and eaten straight from the container. It would be such a boon when ADHD makes every five step recipe look like a 15-step one (since i'll have to grab the knife from the drawer and the cutting board from the cupboard and clean the cucumber and the each tomato and each bottle for the dressing is in a different cupboard or drawer, etc etc etc, and then i STILL have to wash all the things...) Thanks again for always making it a point that it's not about feeling guilty that I can't do more, but that it's about making it sustainable, low waste and mindful where I can ❤❤❤

I think a lot of these for certain people are accessibility tools. I know you mentioned disabilities with the mandolin, but also having see-through containers is AWESOME for people with ADHD. If I don’t decant, I’ll never remember to actively look to see how much I have left, but I can easily inactively see how much is left. I’m okay with having double storage just so that I can see how much I have left. As for the air fryer, as a single person with binge eating disorder, it’s MUCH easier for me to control what and how much I’m eating without heating up my whole oven. I can throw a chunk of cookie dough in my oven and having only one cookie available keeps me from eating a massive plate of cookies that I’ll be more inclined to eat.

10:43 - of course you peel carrots into a peelings pot that you keep in the freezer, ready to make vegetable stock at a later date, right Gittemary? ;-) In a small defence of air fryers... Due to finances/being a bit lazy, we've not had a cooker/oven for over a year (thanks to very slowly renovating our kitchen), and relying on a single induction hob plus a Ninja Foodi (bought 2nd hand from eBay). As we don't have an oven or microwave, the Ninja Foodi has been great for us, because it allows us to eat oven-cooked dishes, as well as being a grill/broiler, steamer, pressure cooker, slow cooker, and capable of open-top sauté style cooking (useful if our single induction hob is occupied). I also believe, being a 2 person household, the device uses less energy than if we were to use an oven for the same smallish portions (usually cook 4 portions so we also have leftovers for the next day). So if your household is small and you have enough worktop space, I'd recommend an air fryer that is multifunctional.

I've actually bought a manual veggie spiraler about 10 years ago. It's basically a giant pencil sharpener with julienne inserts on the blade. Very minimalistic, lives in our cutlery drawer and is mainly used in summer to spiral zucchini to mix 1:1 with spaghetti to get more veggies into my kid and myself. Or so I tell myself. Actually 80% of this thing's purpose is the fun of sharpening all kinds of edible roots, small potatoes or whatever is spirable. And the only spirals I use as they come out of it are the zucchini noodles. All others a chopped up in smaller bits and tossed into salads or cooked. Is it essential? No. Would I buy it again? Probably not. Would I give it away? No way!

Please more videos like this😍

Aaah, late stage capitalism: No one has money anymore, so let's keep people poor with consumerism. Also: Spinning your soda/beer can - WHO why what? Anyone ever tried to open a can you shaked? xD

For a second I felt bad / old for not even knowing some of these “MUST HAVES” but then I remembered : thats why I am subscribed to THIS channel! 😂 for the record I am 36! Hahahaah

I love airfryer! It is a game changer for us. It does not only fry, but also grills meat like fish and chicken breast filet and a lot faster and economical than traditional oven. As for food containers.. they've been around for decades and I didn't get the point in using them even back 30 years ago.. seasoning containers, flour jars.. they take up precious space and deprive you of info on expiration date and exact content. Then you go and buy stickers to mark them which is a total waste of time.

I have some weird ancient (inherited from my mother and grandmother) things that do a single thing--garlic press, lemon squeezer, ginger grater--and they are wonderful and I use them always. I am also devoted to my waffle iron and my rice cooker. However, gimicky things are a whole other story and really unnecessary. Though given that I had a minor fire from oil spatter catching on fire that set off my smoke alarm and caused major havoc, I might have to consider a fry wall . . .🤣😂

I got an air fryer as a gift, and I love it. I have used it so much, and so have my housemates. It's not a must, but I have found it really useful. It has saved me time and energy, and i have also eaten a lot more tofu now I have one.

Love this! Here in Italy air fryers are going strong as well 😅 and I totally see how some of these products would make life easier for people with disabilities, the problem is that everything is mainly marketed (and unsustainably mass produced) for the average person that is on social media and has no real use for these contraptions except for a moment of impulsive shopping. If all of this were produced only for those who really need it in order have autonomy in their everyday life, it would actually be great!

My food processor came with a grater/slicer plate and also a spiralizer plate so I get all the things in 1 product. I love a multipurpose kitchen appliance that makes my life easier!

France is also all over the AirFryer. I finally gave up last month and bought one. It is true that it uses less energy than a regular usual oven, and if you cook only one thing for one person (I live alone and when I don't have friends/family/my SO at my place it is sometimes more electricity consuming to use the oven instead of the airfryer), my airfryer is a very small one and is just fine for a solo serving.

Lol…haven’t made it through this entire video yet but had to stop and comment about the handheld vacuum. I requested one for Christmas because I have a glass top table and no matter how careful I am wiping up crumbs with my cloth, I get crumbs stuck between the tabletop and the table base and the glass top is too heavy for me to lift safely on my own to get to the crumbs so now with my handheld, I can suck up these little crumbs that are really gross to have on the daily but especially when guests come over. So, it has been very handy and helpful and I use it daily; that said, I don’t know how long this little guy will last and if it doesn’t, then I most certainly will have to question whether it is worth getting another. I wish things were built to last! Fortunately, my husband can usually bring a broken piece of electronics back to life :)

Alternative to the ice cooling the can thing is to wet a cloth and wrap it around the can or glass bottle (cold water obviously) and put it in the freezer for a few minutes, just don't forget it's in there

I am going to get an airfryer because cleaning the oven is a nightmare and also in this house I am renting it is not a good one. Not either the stove. The countertop is huge so I don't mind. It would be 2nd hand (brand new) anyway. I agree with you with the rest although with my reused cristal containers I have the same issue 😢.

As someone whos spina-bifida effects my right hand and arm. The vegetable chopper is great. I agree those with disabilities. Fucking magical device. I do still use my knife to quarter things because they are larger and I can hold them. But doing the claw thing whilst chopping. My hand just cannot do it.

Thanks for this video as we say in french "pleine de bon sens" I don't know how to express this in english 😅

I disagree with you on the air fryer😂😂. It is a must especially during the summer. I know its juat counter oven but it doesnt make the whole house hot, cooks good faster because its not working to heat up a whole oven. But i dont have the basket air fryer i have the oven power xl one and i swear by it.

I enjoy these type of videos so much. Makes me feel better about hardcore judging everyone who falls into these traps 😅

i don't have one of those salad chop boxes but i can see how it would be useful for people in the sense that chopping vegetables is fun and easy, motivates people to actually eat them instead of buying them and letting them go off in the fridge. Also if dicing an onion is as effortless as the video makes it look that would save a lot of kitchen tears

please do more of these! I think my favorite was the spinning soda cooler, surely just putting it into a glass with ice would have the same effect? so much hassle for little reward.

My mum would hoard all the random kitchen plastic gadgets which were useless or more hassle then worth and hard to clean. Anyway when i moved few years ago she turned up with a two massive carry bag of them and dumped them at mine even though i kept saying i didnt want any of it she conventionally left the bag at mine hidden. I had them for years and i never used they took up so much space but i ended up donating them to a special needs kitchen chairty near me which they were over the moon to take. I wish people would think more then a few minutes before buying stuff like this it always ends up broken in back of cubard and then binned

I had those scissors... and they cut really fast, and then you spend 20 minutes cleaning the blades, and once you have lost the little broombrush that comes with it for cleaning, you will cut your fingers with it. Devilish stuff, I can tell you! 😈😁 Aaand... Thank you so much for your videos! ❤

Love the claw when talking about the scissors 😅😂😂😂..keep these coming 😂❤❤❤

The only single-function kitchenware I have are an apple corer, a cherry pitter, and a peeler. Why? Because i am not skilled enough to peel with a normal knife, and we have a large apple tree and a giant cherry tree.

If you ever decide to have kids and try to find out what basic necessities you need for your newborn baby - the must have list of weird gadgets and overpriced crap is endless. Everything on the market is a must have and if you don’t get it you are a bad parent hurting your child 😄😭🙃

I love your rants 😂😂😂😂😂😂. You are totally correct about the white paper labels on the olive oil container 😂😂😂😂, it's going to be disgusting in the first day, unless you don't cook 😂

This was F..king hilarious🤣 I do have an airfryer and it's just easier than turning on the oven, energy wise when cooking just for me😊

Yes, please make this a series ❤ Thank you for sharing! I do have a cutter/mandolin-thing, and I bought it because I am disabled, and it really needs strength in my arms for especially bell peppers, and I can’t do it. I am using crutches and have good strength too, but not a chance. I even put it on the floor 🤣🤣🙈 I do use the shredder blade everyday though for my carrots I use in my oatmeal. I peel my carrots over the food waste container, no issues there. I have thought about an air fryer since I am living alone and is disabled, but I don’t want to sacrifice my counter space for it. I don’t use oil to cook either, so it will not “save” the fat for me either. I can recommend silicone or similar ice cubes. I always have it in my freezer. They can freeze again and again and don’t water down your drink either. I love it in the summer time, and is very easy to find in the spring and summer months here in Norway. Thanks for sharing! Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

Thank you for mentioning the air-fryer. It's an interesting concept for some people but there is no way this is a suitable appliance for every one!

I use our airfryer all of the time. With the price of energy in the UK, we can’t afford to turn on the main oven and wait for it to heat up, just to cook food for 2 people. I cook veg in a steamer on the hob so only use 1 ring. It’s all about cutting costs and using less energy.

You could make a video about crazy products from past decades! My personal favourite is the water bed (mattress filled with water), in the 80s absolutely everyone had to get one and where did they all disappeared to? 😂 somewhere there is a landfill with millions of water beds/ mattresses in it… 😅😅

an air fryer is actually a small convection oven. it is really good at roasted a small amount of food more quickly than putting it in the oven (and tbh probably using less energy) than the entire oven. i use it a lot for roasting vegetables and it makes a mean chicken wing. we also use a kitchen shears a lot. ok the multiple blade thing is stupid, but we use the kitchen shears a lot and in ways differently than knives.

Love the energy and the swearing ! Love to see you passionate about this and calling these products out.

i have the multi-cut-scissors (from my grandma) and I use them only for cutting thyme over my monthly focaccia makings

To be fair, I so a dietitian recommend the slicing thingy with the container underneath for people that struggle with depression or fatigue, or also people that feel like meal prepping is a chore so they just buy take out all the time. So I see the utility in that one

Bought one of the spiralisers during the brief period after the first major lockdown (UK) and have used it a total of *checks notes*.... one time. Our air fryer we use loads but I definitely see it as a convenience item rather than an essential.

I've had a handheld vacuum cleaner for about 4 years? I really like it for the bathroom or for the thin strip between my bed and the wall (in front of my nightstand), small areas where it's inconvenient to maneuver a broom or mop, and that accumulate a lot of hair. I mean I would never call it a must-have, there are obviously other ways of cleaning, but I like having it

I have had two of the mandolin type crap and broke both within a few uses because of the pressure needed to get it to cut being more than the mandolin could take. I did replace part of the function with an old solid metal grater set attachment for my KitchenAid and love it.

Totally agree with the gimmicky thing. You really have to think of rhe function and use thing. I do a mandolin, but that is because i do canning and dehydrating. When i go to do a batch im slicing up roughly 5 lbs at least of something at a time. But daily use it doesn't get used, a knife does. The mandolin is kept with the preserving equipment. So really unless someone is slicing up massive amounts at a time then it really is silly.

I loved the video and appreciated the shared outrage over some of the products. For me the issue isn't always the existence of these products, but rather the "must have" label. What might be helpful for one person might be completely useless to another! Personally I love a mandolin for chopping onions, as I'm VERY sensitive to them and if I use a knife I cry so much that I have often cut myself from not being able to see what I'm doing 😖

Sweetie, you can make much more in an airfryer than fries!! You can watch channels on RU-vid giving you recipes. I would love a glass one because of my Teflon allergy. And yes, I have an oven and microwave too. - I indeed can not use some things because I have not much strenght!! Even with a knife I struggle some times ;-( Some things are stupid and unnecessary, that's true! - The handheld vacuum cleaner could be handy, like for my son his bed, he tosses and turns a lot (due to the constant pain) and sleeps in short socks in the winter, because of the friction they (and his pyjamas) often release lint and then a small vacuum cleaner is a handy thing! Love from an old (rebel) Pinkie

I own most of these products and I never wanted them, lol. My husband seems to be be addicted to buying these weird things and since I keep complaining about it, he now does it in secret 😅. I think we're only missing the carrot peeler and the soda icer. But instead he got himself a thing to microwave eggs in. I do use the airfryer, the "multiscissors", and the hand-held vacuum occasionally. It's easier to suck stuff out of cracks with it. I don't use anything else from this list of useless things.

I have a spiralizer. Haven’t used it in years. I love this type of content. What about pointless beauty products?

I had no idea that some of these ridiculous appliances even existed But ohhh my gosh your reactions were so priceless and made me laugh!! Because you are so right and it's sad that people fall for these hacks and half the time they either through it out or dump it at a thrift store and it most likely just sits there. As always, love your videos! ❤

I have been trying to reduce my single tasker kitchen items for a while. That said 100% agree on the spiralizer. I got one years ago (as a gift?) and it is still in the package never been used. I have a toaster oven that has an air fryer setting, we use it almost daily for various things including sometimes air frying.

I love to see more content like this! But, 😂 i have to present my case with the air fryer and vegetales chopper 🫣 both are used by my son and I.

for me the containers - not necesserily aesthetic, mind you, cause i just consider them a waste of money end effort when it comes to myself - serve one purpose: defence against the pantry moths which have been my archnemesis in the kitchen lol

I have a simple tool for apple core removal. I find it useful for making holes in cupcakes which I fill in with some filling - jam, chocolate cream etc. 👍

I love these type of videos! Please make more. Thank you Gittemary you are an inspiration 💕

Idk about other people but when I fry anything I have to clean everything because the grease travels. It goes up to the upper cabinets both right above and around the kitchen, it also covers the lower cabinets across the kitchen. I mean think about how gross restaurant kitchens are from frying, that happens at home too. Don't believe me? Go look at the top of your cabinets above your stove, if there's a layer of dust stuck to the cabinet, it's stuck to the grease.

I will defend the little onion dicer (it's the one where you pull the string and it cuts up the onion). It is so much easier to get myself to cook if I know I don't have to chop an onion with a knife. And since I live next to the balkans, it is impossible to cook without onions 😅

To explain the "you don't need to touch the food!" - to me, this is really beneficial for neurodivergent people. Some textures drive me INSANE, and food often is wet, sticky, slimy, grainy... I deal with it by washing my hands a million times (the autism + OCD bicycle babyyy) - which makes me not want to prep food. So, while it may seem excessive, it's also an accessibility device for people who seem abled but have invisible disabilities! Also - basket air fryers seem super inconvenient to me, but I loooove my countertop air fryer oven. Mini convection oven = way less energy than a whole oven if you're only cooking for one or 2 people. Much more manageable to me than a big oven for whatever reason 😅 get one used and stay away from the basket ones IMO.

My grandma is 90 bless her and she loves to get me kitchen things. the past couple years I’ve been explaining what a minimalist is and that I prefer not to have gifts but would rather spend time with her or maybe a plant is fine lol. she gave me a spiralizer once, just one of the small $8 ones so it doesn’t take up much space but I believe I used it once in 3 years. whenever I see it in the draw I think of yea I have that thing but no I’d rather reach for my Japanese carbon steel knife. 🌱💚

This is why I only buy gadget-y things second-hand. When I lived somewhere without a stove, I used a rice cooker sometimes. Moved to a place with a stove and realized I never use the rice cooker, it's just as easy for me to make it on the stove. If you're someone who makes rice every single day, it might totally be worth it! But it wasn't for me. My mom uses her insta-pot frequently; I know myself, and I would never use one. If my parents had a toaster oven, I don't think anyone would ever use it. But I don't have AC at my place, so it's nice to have a tiny oven in the summer to keep from heating the whole kitchen. Never assume you need something just because it's the latest craze. If you want to try a thing out, when possible, buy it used (or borrow one). And if you find you're not using a thing, put it in your local Buy Nothing group! There's nothing sadder then a product not being used for the thing it was made for. Haven't used that veggie spiralizer in 2 years? Instead of feeling guilty for buying it, gift it to someone who will actually use it, and now you're both happy! ❤

I only decant food and liquids into other containers if they fill it with nothing left over. The only time I'm shuffling extra is when I go grocery shopping and need the next one to fill the container. I have 3 boys (1 man 2 Littles) and they go through cereal like mad so I get bulk adhd dump it into an extra large container. Same for flour and sugar. I got the large containers to mitigate that.

I have a mini vacuum for cleaning out my rabbit enclosure and sucking up hay and dried poops from the area around the bin - it charges from usb and runs for 15 mins - perfect for my needs, but completely pointless if i didnt have pets that needed space vacuuming every day =) The kitchen roll holder and your reaction (justifiably) made me laugh so much. The fry wall will also need cleaning (which i presume will use a cloth or sponge) :P I hate the idea of washing the mandoline slice slides and such - or the inside of a container or the multi-blade options - how p***ed off will i get trying to clean the darn thing!

I transitioned from a traditional air fryer to a small oven with a convection setting. For me this is essential in the summer where I live, and I do find that I use my small oven more often than my large one.

🤣🤣🤣Haha loved the beautiful towel holder "and what happens now? now it does'nt matter"🤣🤣🤣Great video!

This was hilarious and so refreshing! 😂 more please!!

Love this kind of videos 🎉 I do own an airfryer (because my kitchen is so small it has no oven). I mostly use it for tofu, which meas I now eat much more if it, and I love it! If my kitchen had had an oven, I would not gave thought to by the airfryer, but now I'm really glad I have it 😊

That paper towel stand sure is a heavy handed metaphor for something

I have multifunction cooking devices, one has Air fryer as one of the functions, another being pressure cooker. It is awesome and saves electricity. However I think it is a luxury item that is simply worth saving up for and investing. It is not a need and I certainly think a device that only airfries is no worth it

We have these scissors at home. It was convenient to chop mushrooms really well the other day. It's not totally necessary, but I think you have to think about how often it's gonna bring you happiness and be useful.

I do love my air fryer. I'm wondering if yours just doesn't work as well as mine. That being said I don't own a microwave or toaster oven so my air fryer serves those purposes as well. We have a big family and a small fridge and I got tired of the amount of space my husband's sparkling water habit was taking up in our fridge and those plastic drink can dispensers that I found at the thrift store can hold more cans while taking up less real estate in my fridge and I love them! We do use them daily lol. I feel like the can holder in the fridge is still better than that instant can cooler. I am deceased.

I am so grateful you brought up the idea of individuals with a disability using the product vs. able-bodied. 👏 👏👏👏

As someone whose oven currently trips the entire house's electricity (it's getting dealt with), my air fryer has proven to be extremely useful for when the stove just doesn't cut it. Thankful we were gifted one of these for our wedding!

Gittemary, how could you besmirch the air fryer 😭😭 fr though, if you live alone or cook one meal at a time, they’re so much more energy efficient than heating up a whole oven. We really noticed a reduction in our electric bill after getting one.

Oh, I really wanted that push-chopper 😅 Oh, I still want it 😓 BUT! Now I will think twice. Thank you!

All of them I just think goodness me what a lot of cleaning vs just using a knife, compost bin ect. Even the fry wall - counters will still need cleaning with a cloth to clean away dust etc 😂

The marble towel holder 😂

I really love my second hand Airfryer! Yeah, it's just an oven, but I have more fun using it and experimenting with the food in my fridge and how to use it in there

I really enjoy your deinfluencing videos! I like especially when you mention something I want, it helps me challenge my feelings of why I want that thing. I’ve been effectively deinfluenced :)

The only appliance I would invest my money on would be a bread maker, but then again I can make bread dough and just bake it in the oven. i have so many appliances from my mum that i do not need to buy something for my kitchen when it comes to electronics. Also the multiple sciccors is so useless to me...

Would love to see more videos on this

I do have a spiralizer, and it does get occasional use, but I wholeheartedly agree that it's not a must-have.

Kitchen must have: a wok. It can be used as a pan and a pot! Only thing I used throughout college and my first two years after college

Loved this video plus it made me laugh out loud several time. Please make more like these!

Trick to cool your drinks in a hurry: Put your drink in a bowl of ice and then put salt on the ice. It lowers the freezing point of the ice so the melting ice absorbs the heat from the drinks.

3:52 I have to slightly disagree on some of the container and dispenser stuff. Some of us who suffer from object permanence need to be able to see the foods in the fridge/counter/cabinets. I have a soda can dispenser because stacking the soda cans on the shelf of my fridge or in the door was taking up too much space. Also, the boxes that the cans came in would fall apart if they weren't opened carefully.
