Great video. Not surprised about the Hexclad results. I've seen several other reviews by professional chefs which say the same thing, which is it's all marketing hype and the disappointing pan doesn't perform as they say it does. Also, as far as robot vacuums go, I've used several, and the best I've found are the Roborock vacuums which are constantly at the top of the ratings and a bit cheaper than the one iRobot mentioned here. Great job!!!

@Syngine Год назад

I am absolutely shocked that you guys dislike the Creami so much. I have two friends who have it and LOVE it. I have gone over multiple times to just use it. Is it as good as the Pacojet that I got to used for a few years in a kitchen I worked at? No, but it's 1/10th the price. As soon as I get into another place with enough space for one, I am absolutely getting one. We have never had issues with recipes turning out well other than occasionally needing a respin to soften it up enough. I have never seen the soupy result that you experienced there. Yes, it is super loud though.

@regulation_d Год назад

Yeah, I have never seen soupy results like that. Maybe they didn't freeze the base either long enough or cold enough. Love my Creami. Requires a little planning, but the results are insane.

This reads like an ad agency telling professionals how to cook eggs........... post a video with your results clark you lying sack

@matttypes2695 Год назад

The reason for the steel and non-stick combination on the hexclad is because the steel “hexes” are raised ever so slightly above the nonstick portion. The reason for this is so your utensils do not make contact with the nonstick and scratch it. The problem with this concept is that your food sticks to the raised steel “hexes” on the pan since they are not nonstick. Defeating the purpose of being a nonstick pan.

@AppleGameification 10 месяцев назад

A housemate bought a no name brand version of hexclad. It worked surprisingly well for a whole until the non stick coating expired. If I remember correctly, he clad is supposed to have some coating that's more durable than Teflon, not sure if I can believe that though.

@JordanStrahm 8 месяцев назад

@AppleGameification have had my hexclad set since they came out and have had 0 problems with them. The common misconception with them is that people think they are a non-stick pan. They are labed a hybrid, as soon as you open the box there is an instruction card that states you have to use oil or fat when cooking especially eggs or things will stick. The pros with it are that you can use metal or wood utensils in and it won't damage the pan.

@michaelrichards7037 7 месяцев назад

have both all clad and hex clad had non stick pans that scratch and are useless and hazardous to your health if used right hex clad are the best so far I have ever owned

@relie 6 месяцев назад

@@JordanStrahmPeople think they're non-stick because they market them as such. Right on their site: "...with absolutely no stick" - Gordon Ramsey "Nonstick hybrid technology." - About Page If you need to add oil for food to not stick, then it's just a regular pan.

@JordanStrahm 6 месяцев назад

@relie "non stick hybrid technology" what does that mean. It means it's a hybrid combination of non-stick and steel. It's the best of both of them combined. These pans make it so there are no limitations on the utensils you can use. Metal, wood, and silicone it doesnt matter along with being able to cook on high heat or pre heating the pan. Something you should not do with a traditional non-stick. I have cooked everything in these pans and have had 0 issues because I follow the instructions If you think it is hard to add a little oil or butter to a pan to cook eggs, you shouldn't be cooking.

@bonnihill2334 Год назад

I use the Ninja Creami to make frozen yogurt. I have never had anything that looked like what you made. I use mostly yogurt, a little cream cheese, sugar or alternative, then cream or half and half and flavorings. Non fat yogurt does freeze hard. Let it sit for a little while then process. I have never had a failure. True, you have to be gentle and careful with the machine and wash the lid carefully. But I love mine. It is loud but only lasts a couple of minutes or so. It is not for everyone. But it is well loved.

@nickprafke6664 Год назад

Yeah I have to hard disagree with them on the creami. I have never seen anything soupy, my wife makes all sorts of frozen smoothies in it. My favorite is less healthy but 1 cup heavy cream 2 egg yolks 1 tbsp sugar and 5 oreos, turns into the most amazing ice cream I have had, has a wonderful dense texture.

@r_bear Год назад

@FunAtDisney Год назад

A few years ago my wife got me the Frigidaire Ice Maker which looks very similar to the one you showed and makes the “bullet” style ice, large or small. It works greats but I do recommend if you have hard water to start with filtered or bottled water (We get water delivered so I use pre-chilled water right from that cooler.). If I know we have a gathering coming up I will make ice in advance. IMPORTANT TIPS: These ice makes produce very “wet” ice so once it’s made we put it in a colander for a couple of minutes to let it drain, then into freezer bags and lay them flat in the freezer. This help keeps the cubes from clumping and freezing together.

@SummaGirl1347 Год назад

My roommate comes from a large family of ice-cream junkies. Seriously, they all need rehab. He is addicted to no-sugar vanilla and used to spend a fortune on high-end sugar-free vanilla every year. He has used every ice cream maker under the sun and was never happy with the results. Then, last year, he bought the originally Creami. He found that their SF recipe is extremely easy to make, very economical, and freezes to the perfect consistency. Plus, he can make the mix in about 2 minutes. That's all the work involved. He now makes his own SF ice cream daily and is ridiculously happy with it. In fact, he bought the new deluxe model a few days ago and will be re-homing his old one with his junkie sister. I don't care for ice cream so, I am not at all biased. I'm just repeating what he has rapturously reported to me. There are a few things your review omitted: Your pick requires a huge amount of freezer space. Your pick cannot make good sugar free ice-creams. Your pick produces a LOT of waste on the dasher and on the sides of the freezer bowl. Your pick is very hands on, requires the use of traditional ice-cream recipes, and takes a long time to make a small amount of ice cream. Your pick can only make one flavor at a time. Your pick requires that the ice cream be churned and then frozen/aged for even more time. Your pick is great if you have a huge freezer, a lot of time, and use traditional recipes. And, it can pretty much only make one thing. Your review was unfair and narrow in scope. And, no, I don't work for SharkNinja. I just find that your reviews are not as reliable as they used to be.

@susancanty2017 Год назад

I think your opinion on the Ninja Creami is not accurrate. I have one and you can find it for under a $150 if you shop well. I use mine everyday and like the outcome. Depending on your freezer you may have to freeze the base longer. The only time I have had the base come out like soup is because of not freezing it long enough. Also, you can use lite and sugar free canned fruit to make sorbet. I do it all the time. I live in an aprtment and do not have a seprate freezer.

@sandrah7512 Год назад

Did you read ATK's full review of the Creami? There were a number of things they quite liked about it, they just couldn't get consistent results making a simple ice cream base recipe using either one that came with the Creami or one of ATK's own recipes. They did, however get it to make excellent strawberry ice cream and raspberry sorbet. That it was also heavy, loud and more expensive than their favourite ice cream maker (Cuisinart) and personal blender (by Ninja) combined worked against it as well. Their conclusion was if you have limited freezer space and have money to spend to start making your own sorbet and are willing to tinker to achieve good ice cream, the Creami might be right for you. However, ATK has categorized it as "recommended with reservations".

So you admit to having bought it, and now need to defend the puchus. The point ATK is making is there is no point to this pan. It doesn't have the non-stick qualities of a non-stick pan, and if you have to use it like a stainless steel, then why lomit yourself with a non-stick coating that will either wearout, or not be able to handle a broiler. Face it, you bought into a gimmic. Hexclad is hype, and can't do anything anyother stainless or carbon steel can't do, except go inder a broiler. Tell me what is the point of this pan if it isn't any more non-stick than a cast iron, carbon steel or stainless steel pan?

We run them 5 days a week and are shocked at how much they pick up even though we no longer have kids running in and out. They have been fantastic for our allergies, especially in our master bedroom and bathroom. I highly recommend. We do a little prep of the floor area before they run, but we would have to do that if we were using regular vacuums, too.

@ChrisBirkett 11 месяцев назад

I continue to be amazed by how many reviewers are unable to produce acceptable results with the Creami. Serious Eats had a lot of complaints too, some of which were basic issues the manual even tells you how to resolve, let alone doing a little research of your own. It's really not that hard to use, and for what it does there is literally no replacement other than a Pacojet. I have no idea how ATK even managed to make that soupy mess in the video, though some ice cream bases will give overly runny results regardless of freezing temperature. But I literally ordered a backup to sit in the box in case anything happens to my first one, because I use it so much I wouldn't want to even wait for a warranty replacement.

@signalfire6691 Год назад

I don't know why the Ninja Cremi didn't work for you, mine is working fine - the first spin turns out a powdery consistency but the second spin gets it right. What you had there was melted. The container has to be frozen solid - 24 hours to be sure the interior is just as hard as the outside, and the first spin shaves it, the second melts it a tad and provides a good consistency. I'm making super watery protein powder 'ice milk' and I'm thrilled with it.

I think you missed the boat on the Creami. I use mine almost daily and have NEVER had a soupy mix as shown. Pour the contents of a can of pineapples in its own juices and freeze for 24 hrs.

So very many recipe options and even more options to customize.

I really think they did a disservice to the ninja creami. Did they use flavourings with anti freezing agents like alcohol? I NEVER had a soupy pint after a whole year of regular use.

Some good stuff here and I love having a Qtr sheet pan and it's great when you need to cool a small batch of say, nuts down quickly by putting it in one and spreading it out, the aluminum helps the food to cool down quicker and great for quickly partially freeze something before you freeze it for the longer haul, this way, the items stay separated while being kept in the freezer. The little 8th size pans are fantastic for using as spoon rests. Dan Souza has been doing that for a while and I saw him using them for that, and now do similar when cooking. Allows for a pile of utensils to be parked, keep them corralled and the food mess to one spot.

@pakdiva21 Год назад

I saw him do the same thing and followed!

@julianvickers 12 дней назад

The only problem with that is that raw aluminium can’t go in the dishwasher. I prefer my spoon rests to be made of something I can chuck straight in the dishwasher along with all my spoons (except my wooden ones).

@@julianvickers the "trays" I use are the same size, but are desk trays from Poppin. Occasionally, I find them at places like TJ Maxx or Marshall's. I have a blue one, and a red one, and both are shallow and I can pop them into the dishwasher.

@carolc9654 Год назад

I got something similar to the hexclad over 2 years ago, and I love it. But it's not a nonstick pan that you'd use with little to no oil. It's like a well seasoned cast iron pan without the maintenance.

I have had an iRobot mop & vacuum the S9 series I think…. Worked fabulously for 6 months & then the updates in the app began to change it. I have 10 cats (not all in the house except at night) & 2 dogs, 3 adults. This thing is more of a headache than it’s worth. $1300 on sale. The vacuum is always getting clogged & it doesn’t take a lot of hair. The battery did the whole house (1520 sq ft) in 1 go when we first got it. Now it needs to charge 1/2 through just 3 rooms. The rubber brushes and bristle brush is always needing to be replaced as well as the vacuum bags… did I mention the clogs? The mop works pretty well especially when company is coming & you don’t have time. I recommend the Dyson Animal DC14. We bought it in 2006 for $400. I was tired of buying a new $100 vacuum every year. Came with a 5 year warranty so we figured it would be the same cost if it died after 5 years. It is now 17 years old, we have replaced the brush 2 times, a couple $10 gaskets & a couple filters & just recently replaced the cord. One time it wasn’t sucking as hard but o barely noticeable. A writing pen was stuck in there & a big clog but it was still WORKING! The Dyson is a beast! I don’t know about the newer versions. I wish I would have save up & got the Dyson version called the Eye or something like that. Who the iRobot will work for is someone with no animals or maybe one animals that is taken to the groomers. Also someone without children. Like retired people, my in-laws love theirs… no kids, no pets, mostly hardwood flooring. Hope this saves someone $$$$$.

Hadn’t heard of the hex lad yet. Thanks for the heads up. Had gotten the blue diamond, against my better judgement but wanted PFAS-free, it worked great for about two months of freq use until it was quite not non-stick. I was still useable, but I moved on.

Interestingly enough, I went to a state fair recently, and they had a knock off brand to the hex clad. The sales person used oil on every demonstration to make it “nonstick” . It looked very appealing, but I resist the temptation before I did more research…. And I’m glad I did.

@laurenbeckerle7977 Год назад

love those quarter sheet pans! I use them a lot. I haven't even taken the plunge on a Roomba. They're just so expensive, I always end up back on a Dyson stick vacuum. I like that I can use it for other tasks, like cleaning the car etc. Roomba is kinda like just for the one task. Feel like I get more value for my money.

@IntriguedLioness Год назад

I actually have (still working!) the original Roomba .. Old school as you have to dump it by hand Etc but it has been a godsend because I also have a LABRADOR! A definite must have!

@lizcademy4809 Год назад

A broom is also a single-job tool, but I bet you have one anyway. I had a 1st generation Roomba, but it got lost along the way ... last year I got an i3+, and it's so much better than R1. If you're happy with the amount of work you do cleaning your floors without a Roomba, don't get one. I'm not willing to sweep and dust mop 1275 square feet of flooring 3 times a week, so I feel R2 is earning its keep.

For at least the last 5 years, I have been checking the ATK reviews before buying some thing for the kitchen - love how thoroughly Lisa tests stuff - she answers the questions I want asked. It has saved me several costly mistakes - I was looking at that Ninja Ice Cream maker but not any more ❣️

@signalfire6691 Год назад

I can't imagine how she got results that were soupy - I have one and it never turns out that way. First spin turns it to shave ice/powder, the second warms it just enough for an ice cream consistency. I use it to make high protein diet ice cream with different flavorings using protein powder and water as the base; having the meal in ice cream form slows down the process of eating it and I have NEVER had one go soupy on me; even after an hour or so out of the fridge. You can refreeze what you don't eat (just refreeze it level, that's not asking too much) and can reprocess it again next time.

You're not really supposed to use a nonstick dry either, they are testing it in extreme circumstances. What's the point of having the worst of both worlds though, ya know? Sounds like a gimmick

@OmegaGamingNetwork Год назад

@@8cupsCoffee While you are correct, they are also correct in that it is in fact a standard form of testing how they did it. The thing they are pointing out is that it claims to be non stick. In reality it is only partially non stick and basically has all the weaknesses of non stick and few of the strengths. At that point a well seasoned cast iron or carbon skillet are more non stick than it while having far better cooking properties. Much like the green or copper ceramic pans it is just a gimmick to sell to bad cooks.

The ice makers are big in the RV community. I was looking for something for my dad a few years ago for christmas. He had just moved in to an RV. Those kind of ice makes kept poping in my "RV christmas" searches so I bought a budget one not knowing if he would even use it. This year I asked him what he wanted an got the usual nonreply. I asked him about the battery powered ratched I got him last year. He didnt even remember it. He started raving about how great that ice maker was though. I dont even remember how long ago it was I bough that thing but thats the present he remembers I got him an is still using every day.

@prestonburnett5410 Год назад

I think the problem is that they compared it to a traditional countertop ice cream maker, which isn't really the intent. It's meant to duplicate the multi-thousand-dollar PacoJet, so while you can't just chuck in ingredients and wait for it to reach the right consistency, it can do other things better and faster. Once you have the recipes and temperature down, you can store half a dozen mixes in your freezer and make them rapidly to have a variety of fresh ice creams, sorbets, etc available in just a few minutes, which no home ice cream maker can do. It's like comparing a jet to a Hyundai for your daily commute - the jet is obviously worse, but because you're not testing its intended use. All that said, I totally understand the frustration because the Creami is marketed towards home cooks, and the majority of us (myself included) had no use for a PacoJet and thus have no real use for the Creami. There's never been a situation where I've wanted to have half a dozen freshly-made ice creams available, so a home ice cream maker would suit my purposes just fine.
