- Hello, everybody,
It's me Colleen Ballinger
and today I am so excited
for this video because I'm
going to be testing out
really bizarre kitchen
gadgets from Amazon.
I'm always testing out
weird things from Amazon.
I've done wedding dresses, prom dresses,
we did cat gadgets from Amazon,
baby toys, stuff like that.
And a lot of you have suggested
I try out kitchen gadgets.
My sister has done this many times.
My sister loves to try out different,
weird gadgets from Amazon,
and she's done many kitchen gadgets,
so if I do any that she's
already done, I am sorry.
I don't know because I didn't watch it.
(inhales)
(burps)
It's not that I don't love my sister,
it's just that I see her
in person all the time.
So like, I don't watch every
single one of her videos.
But Rachel, I love you,
if I'm redoing a gadget,
you already did, I'm sorry.
But if you guys like this type of video,
this like testing products type of video,
you would love my sister's channel.
She's constantly testing weird gadgets,
and tools, and toys, and fun things.
So make sure to go subscribe to her.
I'll put a link to her channel below.
She's awesome, and her
channel is full of stuff
just like this.
But, this is not my sister
channel, this is my channel.
And I'm going to test some
kitchen gadgets today.
And the reason I'm doing it is
because I have been obsessed
with cooking lately.
During this quarantine,
I have filled all of my
time with my wonderful son,
with my work, and a lot of
my time is spent cooking.
I am absolutely obsessed.
I've always loved to cook,
but this quarantine has given me the time
to really hone in on my cooking skills,
and I am having so much fun.
So this video was actually
super, super fun to make.
I'm excited to share with you
some of these kitchen gadgets
that I found on Amazon.
Let's get started.
The first gadget is the Pizza Peddler.
And I was very excited about this one
because we actually need a pizza cutter.
I love making pizza,
and I have perfected a
pizza dough from scratch.
This quarantine I've
made pizza many times,
and the pizza that I have made,
girl it will blow your mind it's so good.
But we don't have a freaking pizza cutter.
So I was really excited about this,
'cause it's silly, it's a
little monkey riding a unicycle.
Let's see how it works.
So this was kind of hard to
film and do at the same time,
but I tried and it worked pretty good.
I will say that the actual monkey,
the actual handle of this pizza
cutter is not very sturdy.
It felt like at any moment,
the pizza cutter could like bend
and I could slice myself
maybe on the pizza cutter.
It just didn't feel very sturdy.
It's cute, it's silly.
But as far as practicality goes,
I don't really like this.
Now because every single
day of quarantine,
I have been making bread,
I'm going to be rating things
out of loaves of bread.
So I give this one,
a five out of 10 loaves of bread,
because it's cute, I like the concept.
But as far as practicality goes,
I don't think it's safe to have a handle
of something sharp that is not sturdy.
So this one, kind of a bust.
The next product is
this Herb Stripper Tool.
Now it came in this like
really lame packaging.
And so, wasn't thinking too much of this,
but let's go try it out.
Okay guys, time to try out
this Herb Stripping Tool.
I'm very curious about this.
We cook with rosemary constantly.
So if this works, I'll be really excited.
All right, so here is the gadget.
And it looks like you can
strip anything with this.
Bigger leafy greens, like kale,
or tinier little greens like rosemary.
So I'm assuming this is
gonna go through the tiniest
little hole.
That's literally the smallest one.
And I'm just going to pull it through.
(gasps)
(squeals)
(scraping)
Yes, look.
(squeals)
Oh my God, this is amazing.
I am so excited about this.
Oh my God this is very, very exciting.
Let's do it again.
(whimsical music)
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
This is the best day of my life.
I'm just gonna do do this to
my entire rosemary bush, bye.
So I love this product.
We will be using it all
the time in this house.
I made Erik try it and he was blown away.
This is a really, really good one
if you like to cook and you
have a garden with herbs,
or lettuce, leafy greens,
anything like that.
Get one of these, it's amazing.
I give this product 10
out of 10 loaves of bread.
It is incredible.
Moving on.
(glass breaking)
The next product is this whisk.
This is how it came, the
packaging's really cute.
But apparently this is supposed to make it
so that all of your food and goodness
doesn't get stuck inside of the whisk.
I make whipped coffee
almost every single day.
And I hate using a whisk
because it all gets stuck inside
and it's really hard to get it all out.
So I was really, really excited
at the idea of this product.
Let's try it out.
So I guess when you whip something,
then you just take this
thing and go like this.
And every bit of it
comes off of the whisk,
and you're not fighting to like get inside
of all the little creases.
I'm anticipating that this is going
to get it all over my hands.
My hands are gonna get
covered in my whipped coffee
that I just made,
because I think I'm a Tik Tok queen,
because I just live on whipped coffee.
Anyway, here we go,
we're gonna try this out.
Look at all this whipped coffee
stuck inside of my whisk.
What am I going to do?
Wait, this thing looks dirty.
Anyway, who cares?
So here we go up, up, up, it's
getting stuck around here.
(gasps)
Oh my God.
That's amazing, and really does work.
I'm very impressed.
This is a win.
So there you go, it does work.
I will say that after
using it a couple of times,
it's hard to get this thing back on.
Like once you take it off,
it's hard to line it up
to get it back on again.
I dunno, it's fine.
I don't know that I'd
ever grab it and use it.
I feel like I'd always forget
to put the green thing on.
I would give this seven out
of 10 yeasty loaves of bread
because it works, and it does
what it's supposed to do,
but I personally don't think
I will use it very often.
The next product is these little straws
that are cherry red straws,
they're supposed to look like Twizzlers,
which is very cute.
So let's try them out.
Here we go.
They better now taste like cherry,
'cause that'd be pretty weird.
So it comes with four little
straws, and the straw cleaners.
One thing that is not good about these
in my household is this kind of material,
it's like a siliconey, I don't
know how to explain this.
It attracts hair, and hair sticks to it.
And my house is just
constant floating hair.
No matter where this is, no
matter how much I wash it,
it's just gonna get covered
in hair no matter what I do.
But anyway, here we go.
I just made it a whipped coffee.
I don't like how flimsy it
is, it makes me uncomfortable.
I feel like this is not a
whipped coffee type of straw,
I feel like this is like
a lemonade type of straw,
but here we go.
(sipping)
I mean, it works.
It doesn't taste like cherries
like I thought it would.
I just don't like the feeling of it.
So, I hated these.
(laughing)
I can't get rid of these sooner.
I think I'll keep them
because Flynn might like them
in a little bit once he understands
the concept of cute things.
Well, he's one, he's never gonna get this.
I dunno, maybe my niece and
nephews will like these.
It definitely looks like a licorice.
Like it feels like it, it looks like it.
But the texture of this in your mouth,
when you're sucking up your
liquid is not pleasant.
I am telling you.
Like, it has a taste of like a toy.
It feels like I'm eating
like a plastic action figure,
or I dunno.
I really, really don't like these.
(twinkling)
Also, why wouldn't you just use licorice?
You know what I mean?
If you want a licorice straw,
get licorice, that'd be delicious.
That sounds amazing.
So do that, and then you can
eat the straw when you're done.
Why would you use this like plastic one?
I don't like this.
I'm gonna give this a two out of 10,
tiny, ugly, burnt loaves of bread.
Don't recommend.
Don't come for me, this company,
I'm sure you're a great company.
Next product is the Bacon Master.
This is a very exciting
product to have in our house.
My husband loves bacon,
so let's go try it out.
Let's try out the Bacon Master.
Ooh look, there's like a little lever.
You can choose traditional, crispy.
Wow, that's pretty neato.
(banging around)
(intense music)
- [Camera Man] Think it
shouldn't be that difficult.
- I did it.
How do you get this off when
it's the boiling greasy bacon,
are you serious with this?
It should come on and off easily,
otherwise you're gonna
get like bacon explosion.
We figured it out, this thing kinda bends,
so we just bent it open a little bit more
so that it's easy to take on and off.
Time to put on the bacon.
(pensive music)
Bacon on, lids goin' on.
All right, we'll check back
in with you when it dings.
She dinged.
It took a long time.
(twinkling)
There she blows.
(pensive music)
All right, that's what it looks like.
Smells like plastic.
Well, we'll see what it tastes like.
I do like my bacon burnt,
and this is a little too flimsy for me.
Also, some of you are
probably shook right now
because when I was pregnant,
I did an episode of Good Mythical Morning
with Rhett and Link where
they tried to convince me
to like bacon.
And they had me taste a bunch
of different kinds of bacon.
I still don't really like it,
but it converted a little bit.
But since having the
baby, now I like bacon.
I would never wake up
any morning and go like,
I really want bacon.
But like, I'll eat it.
Like I like it, it's fine.
I think Rhett and Link
actually did convert me
because my whole life,
I hated, hated bacon,
until now I'm like, I like it, it's fine.
(eating)
It is crispy.
(eating)
It's pretty good love.
It's like crispy without being burnt.
Hold up, do I love this Bacon Master?
Why is it good?
It didn't look like it was gonna be good.
Crunchy without being
burnt, what a concept.
This thing crispy without burning it,
I'm really shocked by that.
Wanna try the bacon?
- Mm.
- Whoa, we don't even get a review?
He just shoved the whole thing
in his mouth and walked away.
It did work, I'm like
actually kinda shocked.
It takes a lot longer than
cooking it on a frying pan.
I was hesitant about it
until I taste the bacon,
and now I'm like, wait, I love this.
(gasps)
(squeals)
It definitely works.
I think I see us using it in the future,
if we ever have a big brunch,
or invite a bunch of
people over for breakfast,
or if we decide to make a big breakfast.
It just makes it so
you don't have to focus
on cooking the bacon because whenever
someone has to cook
bacon you have to stand
at the frying pan, and like flip 'em over,
and there's bacon grease,
and it's just, it's annoying.
No one likes cooking bacon.
So the fact that that's
kind of taken away,
and you can just like set it on this thing
and walk away for 20
minutes is really nice.
Seven out of 10 loaves of bread.
The next product is the
Watermelon Slicer Pro.
Apparently this thing cuts up watermelon
for you just perfectly.
I'm very skeptical about this.
So let's go try it out.
Time to try the watermelon slicer.
I'm stoked on this,
I love watermelon, and I
hate cutting watermelon.
Ooh, look at this.
Okay,
relax.
(laughing)
What is this?
This is supposed to cut a watermelon?
I don't believe you.
I don't know guys, this
seems like a big old lie.
This watermelon looks really gross to me,
so I don't know if this is gonna work,
but we're gonna try.
Ew, I don't think this watermelon's good,
but wait a minute.
(gasps)
Are you serious?
(gasps)
I am shook by this.
(cutting)
But it works, for sure.
Once we have fresh
watermelon in this house,
this is gonna be my best friend.
But today it's rotten, so
it's not my best friend.
It's just cool, and it's kinda fun to do.
You wanna try it?
It's kinda fun.
This is pretty cool.
Wow.
I'm so sad my watermelon was rotten
because this is amazing.
I'm not even craving watermelon.
I don't love watermelon that much,
but I wanna go buy a watermelon right now
just to use this.
It made slicing watermelon
so easy and it was fun.
Like I just wanted to keep going.
I highly recommend this product.
10 out of 10 loaves of delicious,
wonderful garlic bread for this mama jama.
I real&ly enjoy this.
I dunno, now I want to try it
on like cantaloupe or something.
Like I wanna try it on something else.
The final product we
will be testing today is
the Ice Cream Ball.
Look there's a little ball in here,
see, as you can see.
And apparently this ball makes ice cream.
So let's go try it out.
I am very excited about this.
Okay, so I just looked up a recipe
for chocolate ice cream.
I really like chocolate ice cream.
I don't really eat vanilla
ice cream, 'cause bleh.
I don't know if this is gonna be any good,
most chocolate ice
creams need to be cooked?
And I looked up a no bake version.
Anyway, who cares?
So there are two holes.
There's a little hole in this side,
and then there's another hole in this side
that the ice is gonna go into.
So I'm gonna pour the mixture into here.
(cheerful music)
Close her up,
and lock it shut.
And then in this side.
(humming)
In this side and you fill it
with ice as full as you can.
So it's full of ice,
and I'm just gonna add
this ice cream salt.
(cheerful music)
Then you roll it around for 20
minutes until it's ice cream.
(cheerful music)
(ball rolling)
(ball rolling)
(dog barking)
(ball rolling)
All right, so this is really annoying.
You have to roll it for 10
minutes, we're all over it.
And now we open it and we scrape
the sides of the ice cream.
And then you roll it
again for 10 more minutes,
adding more ice and salt.
(record scratching)
We got, it's not even close.
So it just, I mean it literally just,
it looks exactly the same.
This is so annoying.
So you scrape the sides and
then put the lid back on,
and do it again.
Oh, this is not fun.
Oh my God, 10 more minutes later.
This better have worked.
Ooh, it's very wet.
It's definitely a grainy soft serve,
but I'm not waiting anymore.
'Cause it's already taken
like a half an hour,
and a lot of ingredients,
and a lot of effort for
a few bites of ice cream.
This is already stupid.
I already hate it,
I haven't even tried the finished product.
Same Flynn, same.
Come here Flynn, come be
our first taste tester.
(cheerful music)
What do you think?
- [Camera Man] Do you want more?
- Mama.
- [Camera Man] Do you want more?
He wants more.
- You've got some on your spoon baby.
Okay, this is awful.
This is what it looks like.
It's like half melted, half frozen.
I haven't tasted it yet.
I am so disappointed.
I do not like this product at all.
I can't even get all the ice cream out.
It's all stuck in there.
It's leaking and dripping ice
saltwater all over my house.
It's a mess.
My kitchen's a total disaster.
And you can make ice
cream with plastic bags,
way easier than this.
You put the ingredients in a small bag,
and then in a big bag,
you put the small bag of ingredients
and all of like the ice and salt,
and you just shake it for five minutes
and you have ice cream.
It's way easier and it's way cheaper.
But you know what's even cheaper?
Buying ice cream, just buy ice cream.
Like no offense to this product.
I'm sure you're a lovely company,
and it was made by very nice people.
And maybe this is fun for
someone on the planet,
but it is not fun for me and my family.
I do not like this at all.
I will never use it again.
My niece and nephews might think it's fun,
so I'm gonna keep for them.
But I personally did not
like this experience.
It took so long.
It took a total of 30 minutes,
and it was expensive because we had to buy
heavy whipping cream, I
had to use my cocoa powder,
and sugars, vanilla, milk,
and then a ton of ice that we,
our ice machine ran out of ice.
And you have to use ice cream salt,
whatever that is, and put that in.
And then you do it for so freaking long,
you're so bored after 10 minutes
of just rolling a ball around.
And then you have to
like stir it and then,
oh my God, it was just so tedious.
And it wasn't even that good,
like to make ice cream
like this was expensive,
and it's cheaper to just
buy a gallon of ice cream.
I do not like this product
and no shade to this product.
I'm sure a lot of people
probably really love it.
But for me personally, it
was not something I enjoyed.
I would give this one out of
10 tiny little loaves of bread
that didn't even rise.
So that's all the products
we're going to be testing
for you guys today.
I hope you liked this video.
If you did give it a thumbs up.
I actually bought so many kitchen gadgets
that I have like 10 more downstairs
that I didn't even try in this video.
'Cause it just felt like
it was getting too long.
So if you guys liked this
video and you wanna see more,
please give this video a big thumbs up,
leave a comment below.
Tell me which one of these
products was your favorite,
and the one you might wanna test out.
Also please Tweet me other
weird kitchen products
that you think I should test.
I love purchasing things,
and trying them out for you,
so that you don't have to buy them.
I can tell you if they're good or not.
This video is not
sponsored, it is not an ad.
I'm just giving you my honest
opinion on all these things.
So I hope you guys liked it.
I love you so much.
I will see you very, very soon.
Have a wonderful, beautiful day,
and please stay safe
during this quarantine
and stay home if you can.
Thank you to everyone who
is working their butts off
to keep all of us safe.
I'm gonna go to bed 'cause
it's one in the morning.
(inhales)
Goodbye.
(pensive music)
