Testing EVERY IKEA Kitchen Gadget *hits & misses* 

My favorite is by far the preparation bowls. I love cooking, and my biggest pet peeve is running out of room on my cutting board. I am headed to ikea next weekend and plan on buying me some of those!

as a Swedish person i can confirm that the egg slicer and the cheese slicer is a must in every Swedish home. I have never lived without even one of them 😂

As a German this is kinda funny because I’m 25 and I cannot remember *not* having an egg cutter, cheese slicer, the tea thing and other handy things flying around at home! And now my own kitchen is equipped similarly. I love ikea haha.

Healing my childhood trauma by watching your mother/daughter relationship 💕 literally makes my heart happy how much fun you have together

As a Dutchie it is so funny to watch this 😂 Most of us already use a lot of these items, and seeing Mia react to them is beautiful and hilarious 🥲🥰

Love how Mia didn't read the name of the product. Cookie dough scoop - "that ice cream scoop is weird!" And the best, the milk frother - "to mix coffee or tea" 😂😂 i imagine ikea engineering tapping their heads in Sweden 😂😂

Mia being amazed by mostly basic kitchen tools for 20 minutes straight. Love it.

Everyone needs a good cheese slicer :) Btw that icecream scoop isn't for icecream, it's for measuring cookie dough. Just check out it's name in the package!

The second lemon squeezer works really well if you have a normal sized lemon. It’s actually quicker than the other sort and easier to clean up too.

Mia’s mom coming in and always performing so fluidly is what I’m here for.

Mia being in her 20's and loving grandma things is great representation for the grandmas stuck in young people bodies community. Love the cover for rolling pin!

The cheese slicer 😂😂😂 Here in the netherlands one of the most common kitchen tools you can think of! And it doesn’t only slice cheese, you can peel /slice your cucumber, zuccini, eggplant with it also! So not just single use 😊

My fav part is when Mama maples made the cookie dough scoop work like a charm for scooping out the ice cream. Moms can make anything work. Happy holidays and thank you for putting a face on our smile like always.

As a mexican I loved seeing how the lime squeezer is a “kitchen gadget”, while for us is literally a necessity. Needless to say I NEED that heart rolling ping for my valentine’s cookies ❤

The ice cream scoops are for cookies! Portion out cookie dough and push them out onto the baking tray. Definitely my fav item. Much easier to pop out dough and clean than other scoops! 🍪

I have a lot of those gadgets and they're quite handy. The egg cutter, if you slice it once then rotate it and slice it again it makes great egg pieces for egg salad. :) And yes, I was totally triggered by the ice cream scoops. They were not ice cream scoops. They are COOKIE scoops. lol You guys gave it a good go though! 😆😆 Don't get me started on the frother. I can't! 🤪😱

I love how much Mama Maples appreciate everything you do, enjoys the meals and say words of affirmation 🥺❤

I love that as a Dutch person, having a cheese slicer in your house is basically part of our culture. We do love our cheeses haha. Well done IKEA for FINALLY introducing it to the entire world 🥰

As someone who lives in Germany, I have to say that the egg slicer is my favorite. I don't know anyone who doesn't own one. Also, in my opinion, they are actually more convenient than cutting the egg with a knife, because then often the yolk swells out of the white. And the slices are also much thinner this way. 😀

I'm pretty sure the second piping tool is for thin almost liquids like jams or thin custards ☺️

I cannot on how cute and gentle Chip is when he takes the little piece of apple from Mama Maples. 🥰😍🥺👉🏻👈🏻

This is so fun to watch because here in the Netherlands half of the kitchen items in this video are completely normal to have in your kitchen, everyone has them

It’s s so bizarre to me that not everyone uses a cheese slicer. Personally I grew up with a lot of this gadgets as a everyday day object, so it’s really fun seeing other people try them 😂 But the cheese slicer is the best (you can also use it as at cake spade if you don’t have a cake spade)😂✨ This was a really fun and cool video and the dress is so beautiful 😍

Those cutting board catchers went straight into my Christmas wish list. Definitely a favourite for me!

Your moms laugh just makes me smile. She sounds like such a fun and kind person. Love the videos!

The garlic press that comes apart is a GAME CHANGER!! Def grabbing one next time. And props to Mia for acknowledging that the jar opener could help her grandma, we love an accessible gadget 💁🏻‍♀️

I work at IKEA and was putting out price tags in a new room set. It had one of those little squeezy icing bottle things and I had NO idea what it was 😂 I was searching under like baby bottles.. eventually found it! Also the “ice cream” scoops are actually for cookie dough to get nice even size cookies, but good to know it sort of works for ice cream too if you’re desperate 😂

The paring knife section when Mia said “for my safety I will stick to the peeler” was my favorite 🤍I can totally understand that because I can cut myself on anything in the kitchen lol 😂

My favorite part was how excited Mama Maples got to try all of Mia's meals. They love each other so much!

Hi Mia! The egg slicer can also be used to slice mushrooms and strawberries. If you are making egg salad, slice the egg once, and then rotate the egg 90 degrees and cut again. It makes chopping the egg very easy. Thanks for the great video!

Love how Mia loves most of the Ikea gadgets! But was triggered that she never washed any item before using them!! 😳

The joy and comforting vibes you and your mom give are absolutely unmatched

Your mother is the most supportive and enthusiastic person ever. The way she complemented the cut of the carrot 😂 My favourite tool would have to be the garlic press 2.0. I have IKEA’s old garlic press and it’s so hard to clean!

As a sweedish person I’m always a little chocked a cheese slicer isn’t a staple in everyone’s home 😂 My fave from this video has to be the cutting-board extensions for easy collection of chopped goods, have to get them next time I’m at IKEA!

For opening jars, give your grandma a "jar key", that just lifts the x of a, little to release the vacuum and then it becomes so easy to twist open, no force needed at all. You also don't need big hands. And it's so small to store. Love it.

My favorite was the fruit cover, simple but super useful. The cheese slicer and the jar opener caught my eye as well. The mandolin is so cool but I don’t think I cook enough to actually need it.

The cheese slicer and egg slicer is probably in every household in the Nordic countries. So weird seeing it being strange for others. I love when mama maples is in your videos

I love how Mia used a cookie scooper as an ice-cream scooper, iconic

The alternate use of the egg slicer is surrogate guitar/harp. We used to have that gadget when I was little and I would come into the kitchen sometimes, pull it out of the drawer, play a "song" on it and put it back. 10/10 would recommend.

As a fellow maximalist there’s nothing that excites me more than a cute little kitchen gadget that I most definitely do not need, so the choice is obvious - a roller for heart shaped decorations. Also, Mia reviewing kitchen gadgets while not reading their descriptions has me weak😂 These testing videos always brighten up my day!

What did we do to deserve Mia vlogmas and all this content?? * happy crying * ❤❤❤

As expected: mom always knows how to do things!😂

You know you're getting old when you get super excited about kitchen gadgets... My favourite one was the roller for heart shaped decorations 😍 Love you Mia!

As a Dutch person I LOVE that there was a cheese slicer in this video, but the garlic press that comes apart is definitely my fave 🥰

When you use the hand held lime squeezer, I believe you are supposed to put the lime (or lemon) in the opposite direction (slice side up) so that the press turns it inside out and you get max amount of juice!

The cutting board preparation bowl gadget is a must!! Got them from IKEA the other day and it's so much easier to keep my workspace clean. Thank you Mia for bringing them into my life.

I love the egg slicer, totally my favorite! We use ours for mushrooms, berries, and all kinds of stuff! It's perfect for cutting nice strawberries for cakes

It's really funny and entertaining to watch her marvel over gadgets we have had in Scandinavian countries since the 80's and 90's 😊 The egg slicer is a nostalgic part of my childhood.

I noticed someone else said most of these gadgets are common in Sweden. I live in America but my grandmother from Sweden raised me. Most of these tools were every day items growing up! The egg slicer and cheese slicer specifically warmed my heart. I just lost her this summer and miss her terribly! The cheese slicer was (and is) a must. The egg slicer reminded me of warm spring days when we would make egg salad sandwiches and sit in the back yard under the big pear trees and eat lunch. Nostalgic. You slice one way, and then turn and slice again, and it dices the eggs! We used an old white one and as a kid I thought it was so nifty.

My fave gadget was the cutting-board food-catcher -- looks so handy for cutting fruit and veggies without making a mess, especially for juicy food like watermelon that drips and makes a mess!

i love your mom and your bond. It really makes me miss my mom so much. Mia please spend every second u can cause things can change so fast and i wish i had went to see my mom on days i was tired or sick anyway when i didnt feel up to it

I love how amazed she was by somethings I consider common tools lol (I.e the first tea strainer, cheese slicer, garlic press that opens) 🤣. Loving it ! ❤

As a dutch person i can confirm, cheese slicers are amazing and definitely a must have in a kitchen! Definitely not a single-use item as it works as a great peeler for vegetables or fruit too! ☺

She is such a warm person to be around. So much love and happiness to you♥️♥️

I love how appreciative your mom is when you bring out the dishes

Mama Maples dramatic reactions and her contagious laugh is my Favorite 😅

Mia and her mom have such a cute, wholesome relationship and seeing them together in videos makes my day 💗

I love the side bowls that go on the cutting board! I was preparing a salad earlier this week and it would’ve been so helpful! I’m going to have to get one

I liked everything you tested, my favorite was the prep bowls. I really like that you include your mom in your videos and feed her. I also like the tea holder on the edge of the cup as well. Fun video

Haha, I grew up with the egg slicer being a staple in my household. My favorite gadgets are probably the prepping bowls for their simple practicality and the jar opener, which if i remember correctly was developed for elderly and disabled people as an accessibility tool. You’re not the only one who’s obsessed with ikea’s products, thanks for living our collective ikea shopping fantasies 😂❤

You are seriously one of a kind Mia! I really love the thing that goes on your cutting board, just maybe a bigger one.

You can use the egg slicer to cut strawberry slices and the cheese slicer to slice butter when baking for example. Giving the gadget multiple purpose ☺️👍

The cutting board bowls are absolutely going to be my next IKEA purchase 😂

Growing up with a Dutch dad and grandmother, we had so many cheese slicers growing up. We even had the fancy ones that matched the fancy dining set. The mini whisk is also perfect for thickening cream for desserts, my family favourite is peppermint crisp tart, makes whisking cream effortless.

I’ve had 4 days off and horrible tooth pain, and I discovered your channel and could not stop watching. Thank you so much for getting me through a tough few days. I definitely subscribed! 🎉

Just to say, i love how she does the videos with her mom and her mom is so awesome !! This always makes me happy and smiling

The cheese slicer is my favourite for a couple reasons: 1. Since I’m Dutch it was funny to see you discover the slicer for the first time. This is because it is a very common thing here in the Netherlands and every household owns one. We call it a ‘kaasschaaf’ here and commonly use it for our lunch sandwiches. 2. I mean, I love cheese too. That should be enough reason as is lol :). Glad to see you discovered the kaasschaaf to make your life a little easier! 3. You can actually use it for other things too. Like if you need another food thinly sliced (cucumber for example).

As a 31 year old mom, with a two year old, I had to say that I appreciate you so much! I have always been a big RU-vid fanatic and enjoy watching peoples content, but I especially love Mia’s because it’s something that I can have on with my little one in the room. I love her! It’s always clean, fun, entertainment! Keep doing what you are doing Mia.

I love that you guys are having so much fun together.

It’s fun seeing mom and daughter having such a great time together

Time to run to IKEA and get the cutting board bowls. Thank you to Mia for giving us the quality content we always need

I think the piping thing is for icing and not frosting. It's thinner and less solid, so it would probably work better. That said, that heart rolling pin is definitely my favorite. Makes me wish there was an ikea nearby because that's so simple but so cute!!

I love how you and your mom laugh at each other and with each other!!

I love the little bowls that stick on the side of the cutting board. Seems so useful honestly! I would maybe even go get it!

I actually use the garlic press in my own kitchen, my mother in law has the pampered chef one but your girls cheap and discovered the ikea one is a great dupe for it. Can we also just take a moment and appreciate how genuine you are in every video? Even reading these comments, it really shows that kindness attracts kindness as all of your supporters are equally as lovely as you

The bowls that attach to the cutting board is a game changer! 😮 And the heart rolling pin was so cute!!!

As someone who also lives in Canada, I drink tea constantly to stay warm! I also worked at David's Tea for a couple years so the tea infuser would have to be my favourite! You're my comfort channel :)

I really loved this! Those cutting board deals are so simple, yet so useful! Several great items though that I'm excited to try!

I love the vegetable jelly covers. They’re such an odd item to show people when they come over but they’re actually super effective

I think the meat tenderizer was my favorite simply because of the stress relief it seemed to give Mama Maples, she let a lot of emotions out on that schnitzel 😂

Mia, I love that your mom is always so positive! I laugh a lot with both of you 🥰

You and your mom have the funnest times together and it makes me miss mine so so much...i wish every girl and her mom could have a RU-vid channel just to stay connected and have fun together. If my mom was here i would do this with her❤❤ thank you Mia and momma maples

I loved how you used the milk frother to stir your hot chocolate 😂 my mom used this gadget literally every morning for her latte macchiato

The jar opener is a literal life saver! Don't have to wait for people to visit to open jars anymore or run them under hot water and worry about dropping them while still struggling to open them 😅

My favorite is definetly the garlic press. For family recipes and a lot in general, I just think it's so usefull and it seemed to be soooo easy to clean compared to my old one. Love your videos and Mama Maples's reactions are everything!!

You & mama maples moment i always enjoy the goofiness & your mum laughter is my favourite plus bonus appearance from Chip- to die for! ❤️

I really loved the preparation bowls! Such a simple and genius idea to free up chopping board space without making a mess on the counter. Definitely getting those on the next IKEA trip 🤩

As someone who’s family has to chop a lot for dinners, I have to say my favorite are those cutting board corner bowls. No need to pick up pieces one by one to put them in separate bowls, you can just sweep them in! Also, that Chip high five was the sweetest ever 😭

I love green tea, and that gadget for lose tea is the perfect thing ever. Mamma maple coming in and saving the day by telling the right way to use the citrus squeezer...hahaha

Cheese slicer - use it to slice cucumber and raw carrots but from top to bottom (long thin slices). Works great as a side dish for example salad or for sushi bowl with some soy sauce and sesame seeds. I have used it this Xmas to have cucumber slices and I put salmon tartare on it. I used a metal ring to make burgers as a gadget to get a nice round shape for the tartare. It looked fancy. 🎉

The egg slicers are GREAT I used them when I worked in the food industry. You can also turn the egg after you've sliced it to cut it into smaller pieces and if you get a sturdy enough one they're good for whole mushrooms and things like that too, it cuts the time way down when you're doing a bunch at once 💖

As a dutchie I must say my favorite gadget is the cheese slicer however we use it everyday so if that's the cutoff for being a gadget it might be considered a tool 🤭 it also serves multiple functions for instance slicing a cucumber or peeling a potato or carrot!

I went ahead and ordered those cutting board bowls online, thanks for trying and helping us discover these things Mia!

I'm from Brazil and while watching this video me and my friends actually thought it was funny how these gadgets are just usual cooking tools here. You should try more of these!! Love u mia 💖💖

oh those preparation bowls are a game changer !!! Also, can we appreciate how Mia was able to use all of the gadgets in this 3 course meal. I love how we were able to see the real functionality of it vs. just watching it being tested. Loved the dedication

Literally Mia's mom has THE BEST laugh! It brings me joy every time I hear it! It's so infectious, I can't help giggling with her! 🤣❤️

I love the idea of the uppy fold thing. Throwing all the scraps in there looks so helpful

My personal fave was how cute those cookies came out!! With the little hearts & making them into ice cream cookies 😍 just ✨adorable✨

Laughed so hard when Mia and mama Maples used the cookie spoons (created for taking the same amount of dought) as ice cream spoons! They are so spontaneous and lovely 🧡 Anyways...i think this gadget is sooooo cool and useful for cookies or meatballs!

As a Norwegian, I can’t live without an egg slicer or a cheese slicer. I have never been in a home that doesn’t have them, and they’re so practical! Also, that Teuta Matoshi dress is stunning (they all are, tbh)
