Testing Weird Kitchen Utensils! 

Using smaller meatballs to cap the spaghetti on the regular fork is the ideal way of eating spaghetti

To be fair, it is an appropriate name.

Yeah, I’ve never seen a person twirl spaghetti horizontally.

I mentioned this either in another comment or another video he needs a true Italian to test out these spaghetti eating methods. You can also use a spoon but definitely don’t twirl it horizontally

@@dcwatashi Funny how even younger Italians think using a spoon is a foreign thing - it’s actually a very traditional Italian way of twirling pasta, so I’m glad you mentioned it.

Bwahahaha! 👍

they know ppl will buy just about anything

Seems like just another product to separate a fool and their money.

@@noneyabizz8337 yea, too bad for the fools. haha

Looks like one of those silly dilly Shark Tank products

It’s probably for people with Parkinson’s or MS. My mother has multiple sclerosis, and that fork would be good when her hand shakes.

This. It's not good, but it's serviceable while you look for your own tools that fit your preferences.

Seems like it'd be decent for camping or tossing in a camper

@@Mgamerz Maybe, but I don’t think its compact size is that useful, considering what you get from it. You’re probably already carrying a much better knife, and all the other features can be covered with a big, metal slotted spoon, one that’s likely still smaller than the Unitool. You can flip, scoop, and strain with a slotted spoon, and any liquid you might want to bring with the food you scoop can likely just be poured into whatever receptacle directly from its original container. That just leaves the rubber spatula part, which is definitely the least useful function for camping, unless you’re eating scrambled eggs, in which case you probably have a mini-fridge or an ice chest or something. Those things take up way more room than a rubber spatula, so if space is a major concern you’re probably not doing eggs. Really for camping I think you could get by with just a knife, a wide slotted spoon, and maybe a pair of tweezers for removing pin bones from fish, assuming you don’t have a multi-tool with built-in pliers. Plus of course whatever vessel you plan on cooking in, likely a skillet of some kind, and something to start a fire. Then you’re all set, as far as cooking is concerned.

@@FireMageLayn Especially for ten dollars, you really can’t ask for a better starter tool at that price point. I think I spent at least twenty dollars on my crappy starter kit from Walmart, and very few of those tools still see use in my kitchen.

I bought 30 years ago the cheapest utensils i could find. Let me say... they stil do their job... 2 wisks, a set of wooden spoons, some big spoons. Thats it. Dor the rest i use my normal silverware. I have to be honest... after 25 years i bought myself a new set of silverware... so now i am good for the next 25 years... lol I found that in the usa there are so many "new" things... i wonder how many you use after a year... or are they cluttering your drawers ???

@@-EchoesIntoEternity- I think "lil design tweaking" is a bit of an understatement, but camping might be a good target market.

SEIOUSLY

So Twinged I can’t even spell ^^^^ !

I do one final wrap. Stab, twirl, then lift it up with a half-turn to get it settled.

I KNOW RIGHT!!! I’m not Italian either I’m from Canada and I kept yelling at the screen “roll that on your plate!!!” 😂😜😂😜

Traditional way is with a bowl ladle (primitive spoon). The bowl part actually holds over a cup of liquid. You add 1/3 bowl of tomato based sauce and the rest is meat, spaghetti, and cheese. Takes roughly 5 bites/gulps of it to finish. Trust me, I love pizza (Italian?)

1,000,000% agree!!

100% Italian chick here. You are so correct. He's doing it all wrong. I cringed watching him twirl the spaghetti in mid air. My Italian mother must be rolling in her grave....

THANK YOU! And no spoons either!!!!

Exactly. Someone needs to show him the movie "Luca"

Try a noodle spoon type tool allows you to stir your pasta and in a pinch will work as a back scratcher!

I've used one for several years, it's fantastic, very versatile! I found an actual vintage Foley Fork on eBay.

I have a telescoping back scratcher that looks like that thing but about a third of the size. It's a fantastic scratcher but I found an extra use for it since I'm a fun-sized person who can't reach shit at the top of grocery store shelves: I bent the head to a nearly 90° angle and use it to pull things forward off shelves so I can get to them! I keep it in my purse on grocery day since it telescopes.

That was exactly me thought. I'm not a huge fan of "solutions" that solve problems people don't really think of as problems - minute nuisances at best... but definitely not over-15-bucks worth of problems :)

Have you seen the way James "whisks" by hand? By no means am I suggesting he's alone in his technique, but if you can't get your wrist into it and maximize the amount of air added to the cream (or eggs, etc.) with every stroke, you're never going to get there without an electric beater or a mixer. These products wouldn't make a difference for the purpose of whipping without an actual whipping technique. Edit: 8:38 - 8:41 Notice how much motion he's having to put into his arm to get anything to happen. Also, that's a very small volume for that huge bowl, which isn't doing him any favors. And it's gone straight from heavy cream to almost-butter, look closely. There's nothing light or airy about those results. Maybe he has a friend that can hand whisk/whip who might do the test next time, though.

The time it takes to make whipped cream varies, though, so to "compare times" makes absolutely no sense.

@@DickWigglin if you took one single jug of heavy cream, and split it into two identical bowls, and whipped it with two different spatulas, if one whipped the cream twice as fast that would be interesting to note. Breaking some eggs is not interesting. Anything can break some eggs.

@@oliverfenn8489 ​ Again... "The time it takes to make whipped cream varies". It takes like 10-15 minutes of continuous, vigorous whisking to achieve whipped cream, and in order to be consistent with the method you want him to employ, he has to be able to actually whisk vigorously, and at the same speed, every single time, making accurate comparisons nearly impossible.

👍

Who made you "Lord of the Utensils?" 😂

@@cursedcancersurvivor King Spatula of the knifedom, Spoon.

Came to the comments to say this. The in-air twirling is a completely new technique to me 😂

@@sebimaurer, @Babs VeteransAreFamily; ... and I came to the comments because of the spoon method! Lol!

@@MichaelOKC spaghetti twirling techniques: side of plate - when theres enough room to twirl spoon - when eating from a bowl or there isnt enough room or you try to avoid getting sauce on your shirt mid-air - they won't let you enter any italian restaurant ever again!!! also the fork from the vid is stupid af and won't work with a proper technique either 😂

I'd never seen anyone twirl their spaghetti above their plate before. That has got to be the absolute worst method I could possibly imagine. Hold the fork tines down on the plate and twirl! That's how it's done! (Or with a spoon). Would be curious to see the forghetti work with an actual method for twirling spaghetti.

@@wbennin yes, grab one or two strands, with the tines pointed down touching the plate, twirl. If you have chunks of meat or vegetables in your sauce, stab one of those to act kind of like an end stop to keep the spaghetti on.

Is this the “shoehorn with teeth” I keep hearing about?

Bwahahaha! 👍

😂

It really is a great kitchen tool. Mines getting it use every day.

And it could also serve as a tongue depressor for doctors who do their practices in the kitchen ;)

That is why you use a potato smasher to smash refried bean's and dollar tree sells a meat breaker tool for $1.25 and it works perfectly. You can always use a huge size sifter to take thing's in/out of oil and if that isn't working for what you need then use a tong..

@@richiethev4623 I wouldn’t enter a predatory con artist dollar store with ten thousand guns pointed at my head, and neither should anyone.

@@mehere8299 Take your tin foil hat off, weirdo

All these products were stupid lmao you can break up ground beef easily and better with an ordinary spatula

Nylon is a type of plastic. Do you really want to ingest micro-plastics with your food?

Thought

Wouldn't they be easier because of a bigger handle? Seems like you could lean over it and have body weight help. I don't know though as I don't bake.

@@woodstream6137 the blending fork is easier for me because of the grip. A pastry blender you have to squeeze your hand around the handle like a fist. I don't have a very good grip in my hands anymore to do that.

same

Did you?

@@flamefangstar Yes, I did get one and have used it fairly often. I like it.

@@kn3765 oh good to know!!

@@flamefangstar I bought one last month, & every time i felt i needed to whisk, i just use it, quite happy with the product overall

👍

It was designed by and is intended for a left handed individual. That's why it's uncomfortable for you, presumably right-handed.

Ordinary spatula breaks up ground beef better

@@baconscoobysnacks3135 Not really, you're just used to it

@@uhm175 yea I'm used to it and it works better...lmao

Yeah, we do get the short end of the right handed stick, for sure!

Sadly that happens. The proper way is to grab a small amount of the spaghetti and the hold the fork vertically, against the plate and roll.

Take a tablespoon and a fork and twirl your spaghetti on the spoon. I know Italians do it on the plate but I like the spoon method.

moms would typically cut the spaghetti for their kids but as an adult you gotta get into the twirling game! it's the entire fun of spaghetti. but please use a spoon or push down on the side of the plate. mid-air twirling is ILLEGAL.

@@sebimaurer You do you and I will do what ever I dam will please. Have a good day!

@@Suebe1962 I hope the sicilian mafia doesn't get you and you have a lovely day!

Would you say it's.... for-ghettible? Glad to hear you'll get frisky with fiskie

Yeah…. I never understand why people talk about whisks being difficult to clean. Just whisk in hot, soapy water. 🤔

Also have you reviewed scrub daddy ???

That's nothing, been a fan since 2012

I very rarely buy items reviewed or recommended by others, but he did a video on the Click & Carry for carrying grocery bags and it's been amazing. Never fails that I swear I'm not going to buy a lot at the store...but I do. And while I only have 15 steps up to my apartment, I still don't want to do more than one trip. The Click & Carry makes me look like a pack mule and the heavy bags usually make me halfway throw them on the kitchen floor when I get in (sorry, my neighbors...) but I do get everything in one go! Not had to make two trips since the day I got them. Especially great on those lazy days where maybe I stop and get fast food before coming home, not wanting to shop and cook in the same day. Also, getting a large, reusable bag to put individual grocery bags inside of, and then putting that on the clip helps a lot with the swinging weight. I shove my purse inside of the bag as well. I had been wanting bag clips for a while but none looked as good as the Click & Carry, so while sappy to all hell, I'm truly happy James reviewed them and that I bought some. I'll probably get a set for my mom as well as she has to walk about the same distance to her front door as I do to get up to my apartment. Bet she'd appreciate them.

Italians call the spoon assist heresy.

@@laurahubbard6906 it's entirely unnecessary
