    • @elektroger
      @elektroger 3 года назад +2

      I don't know to much about the barber's profession and it's details (however, my grandmother actually worked most of her life in a saloon), but as far as I know, first you cut the coarse way, then you trim and adjust with the scissors where you missed something. So, he either tried to limit the outlines firs, but then, you need to do that all around, not just in the back, or he wasted some time, pretending to do work, so he could justify the price tag on the manhours, by taking the time with the money. Imagine, if he could get all work done in 5 minutes, maybe throw something fancy to it, like personalize or maybe improving the haircut, maybe some lotion... That may have sweetened the deal. This way, because of COVID-19, it's hard to cover all expenses with less customers, unless you raise the prices, especially, since in most countries, the taxes haven't got lowered and in some places, same with the rents.
      By the way, nice review of the toaster @Matt. I think, you managed to capture the essence. The thing with the professional reviews is, that not always cover the needs of the common people. Who knows, maybe in the future, they might improve on the design, to make it more affordable, easy to clean... more practical. As you concluded, it's just a fancy, expensive toaster, but it takes more time and not change the taste, not even a bit.

    Boo to the naysayers, the Techmoan "old man stories" are part of the channels ambience. But to stretch the toast/hair analogy a bit: I have long thick hair (I've not bothered to have it cut since before lockdown) and with my hair it is possible to truly cock it up and I need to go to someone else to get it "repaired (this has happened at least twice). Hair as short at Mat's just needs running over with the clippers and even trying to do something with scissors is kinda pointless. Maybe this is the kind of thing where you need to have like a hand made sourdough to see the difference and supermarket bread will make supermarket toast no matter what you do with it.

      'Hair as short as Mat's needs..' Point made and relevant. Does not apply to all with hair full stop! However for those it does apply to, I cut my hair with clippers and it saves me a small fortune. In the past I used a local barber who was an Italian and a real professional BUT so much cheaper than a lot of these salon places. Mat was right that there are a lot of suspect 'hair cutters' out there. Note the absence of the word 'barber' as most of them? 👀

    haha, agree with your opinion 100%. I am a Korean chef who works in Australia for over 10 years. My folks(Korean folks) have some difficulties when they cook some of western bread based recipe. They don't have certain bar of making bread. I know I need to care about my tone but it's true. They willing to fix some details about steaming rice (ex, put some more of water or less in rice cooker), but when they hit up some bread, they can't think about adding some water on the side of combi. All my respect, this is not about racial thing! I am also a Korean who just lived in Australia for long time. When Balmuda toaster was popped up in Korean market, I also heard it could be kind of marketer's triumph of Balmuda company. The verbal marketing is huge in Korea nowadays. As a evidence, Balmuda launched a branch in Korea for only Korean consumers. That's not usual thing. Korean market is not big enough to expend branches like Chinese market. Personally speaking, this gadget is overrated and too expensive thing to consider of its own function. Sorry about my English if you are not comfy with my English writing.

Toast nights might be how I make my millions. Or I might not bother. If I hadn't thought Bitcoin was a load of faff I'd be a millionaire now, except I wouldn't cos I'd have cashed in when it was worth 50 quid, so as ever somebody else would be. I'll let someone else start a toast disco since it's your idea, just send me a couple of tickets. People can wear little butter knives on chains round their necks, just like the 70s when it was spoons.

    We use the toaster daily (in Tokyo now). This toaster excels with very thick bread (even frozen), also with stuff that does not fit a regular vertical toaster, like frozen pizza. Yes, there is hype in all Balmuda products, mostly due to the looks rather than the real features, the toaster however works. This toaster was made for most fussy customer market,Japan.Here, one white bread slice can fetch 1 usd or more (branded of course) so there you go, that is Balmuda country. Great video by the way!

      I have a Sennheizer (had to look at headset side to spell it correctly ^^) and a friend who thought that was bullshit turned hi head when heard a sound on his right.
      It's not even on the expensive side...
      Now, if you don't have proper hearing, then that's completely moot. Kind of the same with food and taste. Most people don't have full taste, so, they quickly say that food is bland.
      In the end, the best is to try out. For toasters, unfortunately it's not really possible. But for audio equipment and some food, some shop allow to test!
      Then you've products that seems really good, even when you test them. Then later, you discover it's pure shit. Lighting equipment fall in that category. When you learn about CRI, you don't look at lighting with variable color the same way and you understand why some people buy a white light with gels.
      So, to benefit from prosumer products, you already need to have some understanding or abilities.
      Note that I can't say anything about the Balmuda Toaster. My point is that you should not brush away specialized products as "gimicky".

      Steam (pan of water) is actually great for toaster ovens but apparently not for toast likely because it cooks so quickly it doesn't have time to dry out much but when used to fully cook raw food to completion they tend to function somewhat like dehydrators especially when using convection. Adding steam softens the food, cooks it more evenly, and helps prevent sticking especially without oil or less oil it can dramatically improve results, but it can be finicky as there aren't recipes for it and all machines are different. One thing to try is covering food fresh from the toaster oven to lock in the steam for five to ten minutes to rehydrate and release the food. It's a game changer for oil free you often don't need non stick cookware and I tend to only use stainless and ceramic now.

      @@electrictroy2010 The only purpose of gold plating on cables is corrosion resistance. I literally had standard nickel plated cables where the contacts completely corroded away while laying 10yrs in some box, now go plug that into something and rub all that abrasive corroded oxide against the contacts of the equipment, which are almost always gold plated for longevity, now you sentenced that equipment (or atleast that specific port) to certain death in a couple yrs as the previously protecting gold plating is rubbed off, but worse there is no nickel plating, so you exposed bare copper which corrodes super quick.
      Now I may be an extreme case because we have humidity here regularly in the range of 70-90%, so stuff corrodes super quick here, but still even in dryer places corrosion can happen over time.
      Gold plating is super cheap, it costs cents for the manufacturer, and if you pay a premium for it, thats on you.

He wasn't in a rush, but didn't charge what I felt was a high amount. Also friendly. The only downside was that he smoked and you could tell that. The hair cut was spot on, not a single hair out of place. After he was forced out of his little room, I tried another place that was recommended in this area, and the hair cut was no where was good, although still cut, and the price was about the same.

It's not meant for the average person, it's an expensive, niche toaster oven specifically designed to meet the needs of bread fanatics who wanna be able to buy a dozen buns at a time from their local bakery and have them taste as good by the end of the week as they did when you got them. The whole toast angle is just an obnoxious attempt at appealing to the mass market with viral toast recipes.

She has those cast iron plates you put over the gas flames that you would use if you needed even heat in your pots. That was the toaster. If the bread was too big, the burnt ends were just cut off. Toast, goose fat, salt and spring onions with tea...

    The idea seams to be to recreate the backing process used by professional backeries. There, a bowl of water is set in the oven with the bread during the first part of bakeing (modern bakers ovens have a steaming machanism build in for that purpose). This leads to the crust not forming imideately wich is important because otherwise the bread would form a crust whilst still expanding. breaking the crust again wich would make the bread look ugly. Also it helpes with bakeing the bread evenly since this way the outer parts are cooled by the water evaporating again so that you don't get a unbaked in the middle, burned on the outside result
    I sometimes moisten stale bread before troasting it in a normal toaster - workes well for me.
