This follow up brought me to tears I watched most of them with my dad who passed away 4 months ago he didn’t speak English nor understand it much, he had dementia and had to explain what you were doing, especially the eggs I remember him saying eggs in Spanish. Love your videos
I am so sorry for your loss. My father-in-law passed away last week and it’s just hard. My dad has been gone 10 years now and just the thought of him starts me crying. I do know time does help a lot but you never lose that feeling of loss. I do hope you continue to enjoy memories and hopefully one day you’ll be able to smile more and cry less thinking about him, he is in such a better place.
@@mommashawna707 I'm sorry for your dad's loss and your father in law loss, I appreciate the reply and I know I'm not the only one going through this. But it helps knowing their are kind people like you that take the time to reply
Yeah, I'm surprised that they went all-in-one with the broom types on one handle but not with the handle lengths. Would have made a good product even better
It may be because i am european but all our brooms and stuff work like that with a simple thread on the end all the heads you can buy everywhere have universally fited solts to just screw on your handle they are like 5 bucks ? 70 for this seems incredibly steep to me.
Bought a Granite Rock skillet because of your review, a couple months later, I bought the entire set of Granite Stone cookware. Of course I don't use metal utensils in them, as the instructions on the box tell you not to, but there is no damage after nearly a year of regular use. So very happy with my pots and pans.
how has the non stick coating lasted though? even if there is no visible damage, has the non-stick performance gone down? i have also been considering getting one but i havent seen too many people talk about how non-stick it stays after a year or more of use
@@awesomestuff9715 The non stick coating hasn't faded at all. I've not had to put any actual effort into scrubbing pans since getting them, they usually come clean with a simple swipe with a soapy cloth. I cook with a lot of sauces, of course i don't intentionally burn anything, it's really easy to clean even when i let the mess set until after dinner.
@@LuvtheJEm that's great to hear, i'll make sure to grab a set, the last nonstick pans ive used all didnt last for too long, which is quite disappointing
For some reason I crack up each time that lame shelf falls off the wall 😂 I think the issue was the rubber couldn't grip the somewhat rough wall surface. Great video as always!
Just don't forget them lol Definitely a good idea 💡 Personally I hate wasting water it's it's something that the world needs without water big trouble.
Oh I forgot to mention I bought the Egg Pod after watching your review. I use it literally every day to make the perfect steamed eggs for my son and I. It is quicker then a pot of water and does not over/under cook it like my Dash egg steamer does. I don't shake to break the shells though. I just crack and peel it like normal which works for me.
I used the water pillow for years. It’s definitely a good buy. I liked the balance of softness and support. It didn’t trap heat like normal or memory foam pillows. Only con that I can see is it does become quite heavy, so putting on and removing pillowcases can be particularly challenging.
After your review of the Egg Pod, I purchased a similar product on Amazon, same instructions for cooking. I make eggs in it almost daily for about a year now. I do low carb, and eat boiled eggs for lunch, and I love this product/idea. No heating boiling water on the stove.
Thanks James for another great update video. I was saddened to learn of the recent passing of Ron Popiel. A review of your 10 favorite Ron Co products would make a lovely and fitting tribute for the man who created the "as seen on tv" industry.
16:26 is a camel spider, aka sun spider, aka wind scorpion. Despite its common name, it's neither a spider nor scorpion, and is in its own class of arachnid called solifugae, literally "flees from the sun". Because of their tendency to run for the shadows to hide, they often run toward people to hide in their shadows, and they run as fast as scorpions, due to their main prey animals being spiders and scorpions. They appear like they have ten legs, with two long ones in front, but these are actually pedipalps, the arachnid's version of an insect's antennae, and are used for sensing things around them. Sun spiders aren't very common in the US but are native here and the Middle East where they are much more prolific. However, it seems like they're becoming more common in the southwestern US. I've even seen more of them here in Arizona in the last couple years than I've ever seen in my life, I used to only see them like in northern New Mexico on vacation. They're a very beneficial species and despite their speed and tendency to run at you, they're actually very NON aggressive arachnids. They're scary but they kill things that can harm us like very venemous scorpions and spiders (black widow, brown recluse, etc.), just an FYI that if you see one and it scares you, try not to squish it. I've had to a few times because there was no way to remove them from my belongings without accidentally squishing them, they are as soft as tissue paper, like a moth, if you even touch it it can just smear sadly. But they're very cool and good to have around, they like it outside and don't like winding up inside your home if they can help it, but if they do, they're only there to get rid of pests. They're really cool and everyone should know about them because they're pretty ugly and unnerving if you don't know what they are.
Idk if I could just let it be. That thing is a huge monstrosity! I also recently moved to AZ and have thankfully not seen one yet. When I do, I’m going to scream and smoosh. Idk in what order. The screaming may be throughout and even after. LOL. I don’t do well with insects after living my whole life in a rural area of NY near Niagara Falls. Not a lot of insects to worry about. So seeing anything else in my home is a big nope 👎🏻. Goodness. He didn’t even seem phased by that camel spider. It’s so gross to even look at. 🙈
I find spiders and spider-like critters to be really disturbing but I always try to rescue them when I spot them at home. Which is not easy, given how squeamish I am of them. In a way, that actually seems to help as they can be so fragile and touching can be lethal to them. So my trapping very small spiders in glasses, and them carefully carrying them outdoors, may be better than picking them up.
I've got a Chef Wizard, and I use it as a whisk for scrambled eggs and pancake batter more than anything. Doesn't accumulate goop inside like a balloon whisk.
Great vid! How about a product review marathon of Ron Popeil-endorsed products? I grew up on his infomercials, but these days, I just watch your reviews on things 😊
I can’t even imagine how much junk he must have stored up after all this time between stuff he buys, stuff he’s sent, stuff he saves for future comparisons, etc. and oh god the boxes!
He did show either in a video or on social media that at some point last year he and his son seriously organized the bone yard which is what he calls the set of shelves in his garage where he keeps products he doesn’t use anymore and the boxes they come in. His son really got into it and catalogued everything and put them into bins labeled with what they are and when they were reviewed. He put them in order of reviewed date for the most part. The bone yard looks so much better now than it used to. I’m not sure if he kept the boxes for the items as part of the organization. He also has a nice spreadsheet on his computer of what he has reviewed, when he reviewed it and his opinions, etc. He is very organized since he has reviewed hundreds of items over the years.
I have the stone pan and I love it! It's my go to pan for everything. And I also have the zip slicer and it's great. I don't care if it cuts uneven. I've used it on olives, cherries, grapes, and tomatoes. If you have to cut a lot of something it's a time saver.👍🏻
My hack for a "free" version of the zip slicer... take 2 similar sized lids (yogurt, sour cream, butter...) place one lid upside down, fill with thing you are slicing, Top with the other lid right side up. Use the lip of the bottom lid as a guide, the top to hold everything in place, slice horizontally with a knife long enough to reach all the way across the middle. Boom done
I love my Crunch Cup! In the before times I would bring it in to work on any morning that I anticipated needing some comfort cereal time. I'm a super slow eater, so this allowed me to 'graze' on my cereal at my own pace without it becoming literal gloopy milk soup. Since transitioning to WFH 100% I've only used it a handful of times, mostly to show off on team video calls lol but I will stand behind this product being functional and amusing. Just gotta get your milk to cereal ratio dialed in, I like filling it just to the first indentation line. That works for me. I've used a walmart variant of the Obol for...probably a decade. The only difference it's a fully compartmentalized mini cup and larger cup intended for cereal. I use it for fruit and caramel dip, or veggies and dressing - works great for that too. I must have a problem because I forgot all about the Cereal on the Go cup...and now I really want one. And I have negative 50 reasons to have it LOL I don't even eat cereal a lot! I should probably stay clear of these review videos. If I managed to not knee jerk buy the gadget on the first go around, I'm not sure I have the willpower to remember why I didn't get it a year later...and now I want to stock my Amazon cart with more things haha
After a couple years of my Granite Rock pans and the abuse they took (somebody in the family would turn the burner way up and also run cold water into hot pans), I replaced then with a whole set of new Granitestone pans. They are thicker and feel sturdier. New rules on taking care of them are in place. Although not a replacement for a properly seasoned cast iron pan, these are awesome and the most used in the house.
They do have water conditioner that they sell for water beds. I’m gonna share with you something I didn’t know right off the bat but you’re not supposed to boil your pierogies before you fry them, you can fry them frozen. They turn out perfect! Did I just blow your mind because it did mine. LOL
I just purchased a set of 2 today after watching this follow-up, (thanks to his promo code). The original piqued my interest, but the follow-up sealed the deal. I'm excited to receive and start using them!
You original Granite Rock review almost 3 years ago prompted me to buy my first seen on tv product. I have 2 now and they are my go-to's when I use nonstick. They still rock after all this time. Thanks for you hard work on these reviews! Keep them up.
There was a cleaning system that had a collapsible handle in addition to the other things that the version you showed here. The version I am talking about was almost completely metal as far as the mounts and other things that didn't directly touch what ever you wanted to clean and it also had a barring and socket system that you could pull or push on a ring to attach an detach parts. The military was using it for several years ago because of the fact that if something on it broke you could simply replace the broken part.
We use the silicon utensil rest all the time, have it next to the cooktop. We also use the magic bag sealers, they are great for bags of frozen vegetables, use what you want from the packet, seal the bag with the magic sealer and put it back in the freezer.
I love the Granite Stone Pro, particularly since it works with my NuWave induction cooktop. Thanks for the original review. I bought the set of two and am very happy with it.
I always thought eggs would just explode in the microwave. I'll have to go back to your review of the egg pod. But I love my Egg Genie - I wouldn't replace it.
I bought a similar one last year after his review. The inside is lined with metal, to protect the eggs, the bottom section is not lined, so essentially the water boils in the bottom and steams the eggs. I have used mine almost daily for the past year. Won't go back to boiling on the stove.
I've learned from experience that those instahang type products only work on very smooth, non-porous (like glass) surfaces. Even then they don't hold long. Some have suction cups and they last a little longer except in the heat.
I bought a command strip hook for my shower from the dollar store. It doesn't hold anything heavy, Just a shower puff / loofah, but it's been there for like 5 years, maybe more.
that slushy maker cup thing could be very useful to me, as I usually have cottage cheese+whey+water mix which tastes OK-ayish to nice-ish but with chilling it and making it In ice cream it would taste super-ish for sure!
16:26 that was a sun spider (a.k.a wind scorpion or camel spider, and are not actually spiders). They are aggressive AF and will chase you. That said, they aren't bad to have OUTSIDE the house because they will eat all the bugs you don't want inside.
Ohhhhhhh wowzers!! I'm only 6 mins into the video, and already you have answered my prayers...water pillow - NEED IT!!...Stretchy lid - NEED IT!! So far, so good...and I eagerly await the other items you are re-testing, and I will then go to the original video from a year ago that I obviously missed. Thank you so much for making this!!! :D

10 out of 10 for your series... Stating that a diet cola cant be used saved me from buying it... Are there any devices that can make a calorie free slushie or is the sugar necessary for slushiness?
The sugar is necessary for the texture, you can make something out of diet soda, but it's the same as freezing water, either it's liquid or a block, and very little besides shaved ice in-between
I can only imagine this guys garage is packed floor to ceiling with products he’s reviewed over the years. U catch little glimpses of parts of his house and with as many products as he’s reviewed you’d see stuff all over the place if all of them actually got used on a regular basis. My guess is probably 10-15% of the stuff he reviews actually gets used somewhat regularly or as often as necessary for the products intended purpose
I have 2 clocks both with the same controller/maciacal setup 1 aa battery. The safe clock i have had for over a year and if the aa battery is below 1.2V it hangs up the 2ed hand. The same with my main clock yet it works down to 1V = 2 more months of use.
The egg thing. All you need is a container with a lid. Soak your boiled eggs in cold water for 2 minutes pour the water out leave about an inch of water put the lid on and shake i peeled a dozen eggs in less than 2 minutes. Oh you might have to crack the eggs before you shake them. Have fun.
“Oh the water is clear! I’m relieved!” … I get what he was thinking, but it’s literally like leaving water in a plastic bag for a year. It’s not like leaving it in a pool.
If you run your credit cards through a shredder, the pieces should easily fit into the hairbrush safe. You may have to melt down your keys, though, to fit more than one of them into the brush. But it's still a winner in my book as the crow flies.
I am a fiend for slush drinks, I had one of those squeezey-type slush cups and it was one of the best things I've ever owned. I ended up accidentally ruining it by leaving it out for too long, the gel stuff got destructed thanks to... I dunno environmental exposure or something? But now that I've been reminded they exist, I'm about to go get another one XD
This product provided a GREAT night sleep for my wife and I, night 1 of use. If you are thinking about getting one pillow, get two - it's a great deal!
In case anyone is wondering, I'm pretty sure the cereals used in the cereal bit are Cheerios Oat Crunch, Kix, Frosted Mini Wheats, and not sure about the last one.
insta-hang was more like insta-fall, and i have one of those granite stone pans, not the pro, but i love it. only issue i've had is food sometimes sticks to the handle rivets inside the pan, which aren't non-stick
I have the clock. No one in the many years I had it, not even my ex-husband, realized what it was until I told them... Honestly, if it's displayed like a clock and you don't try to hide it, people don't see it. Unless the robber already knows about it, they won't go for it. They will go for more obvious things, like my portable safe and computers... XD I mean, it would suck to have anything stolen at this point.
Just so you know I'm a massive perogies eater and you do not have to boil them first if you're going to fry them. From freezer to fry pan is all you need.
Well at least you know the peanut butter jar safe does it's job pretty well, lol putting it further back in a cabinet or pantry and making sure you have a more obvious jar right up front and no one would know.
Can't believe I've been watching your videos for a couple years and just now subscribed. Sorry about that i thought I was 😁😁.... I am now for what it counts lol
I actually bought the back sealer after seeing your video i was impressed with the idea and we don't have anything like this i store's here. I've been using them for everything I can. and love them. A great product i my opinion.

Running under cold water for two minutes, uses lots of water to cool your eggs. Put eggs in freezer for two minutes in a small bag to cool.

The version I am talking about was almost completely metal as far as the mounts and other things that didn't directly touch what ever you wanted to clean and it also had a barring and socket system that you could pull or push on a ring to attach an detach parts. The military was using it for several years ago because of the fact that if something on it broke you could simply replace the broken part.
We use the silicon utensil rest all the time, have it next to the cooktop. We also use the magic bag sealers, they are great for bags of frozen vegetables, use what you want from the packet, seal the bag with the magic sealer and put it back in the freezer.
These are some of the best videos you do. Whether or not something works is good to know, but whether or not it gets used is even better.
I love the Granite Stone Pro, particularly since it works with my NuWave induction cooktop. Thanks for the original review. I bought the set of two and am very happy with it.
I always thought eggs would just explode in the microwave. I'll have to go back to your review of the egg pod. But I love my Egg Genie - I wouldn't replace it.
I bought a similar one last year after his review. The inside is lined with metal, to protect the eggs, the bottom section is not lined, so essentially the water boils in the bottom and steams the eggs. I have used mine almost daily for the past year. Won't go back to boiling on the stove.
They do explode. It's probably why they ask you to wait before opening the pod.
Thank you Freaken Reviews. Someone had to do the 1 year review and I'm glad that it's always been you. I am enjoying each video through covid.
Frying pans and egg peelers must be the top two 'genre' of products you've review.
Love this channel man! Its so relaxing to watch and see your opinion. Altho i never buy anything 😅
Bum
I wonder if the water pillow keeps it cold. 🤔
I've learned from experience that those instahang type products only work on very smooth, non-porous (like glass) surfaces. Even then they don't hold long. Some have suction cups and they last a little longer except in the heat.
Love the update videos so I don't buy things that don't work
I have the obowl. I love it because I hate soggy cereal. It's big but the portions are good. Love it
Love your review's!!! I have totally used your reviews when buying stuff!!!
I bought a command strip hook for my shower from the dollar store. It doesn't hold anything heavy, Just a shower puff / loofah, but it's been there for like 5 years, maybe more.
I've been watching you for years now and I wanna say I am loving how your set has developed! It looks great.
I liked the pan and cereal dispenser.
I love those bag closers. They are in use all the time.
that slushy maker cup thing could be very useful to me, as I usually have cottage cheese+whey+water mix which tastes OK-ayish to nice-ish but with chilling it and making it In ice cream it would taste super-ish for sure!
16:26 that was a sun spider (a.k.a wind scorpion or camel spider, and are not actually spiders). They are aggressive AF and will chase you. That said, they aren't bad to have OUTSIDE the house because they will eat all the bugs you don't want inside.
Ohhhhhhh wowzers!! I'm only 6 mins into the video, and already you have answered my prayers...water pillow - NEED IT!!...Stretchy lid - NEED IT!! So far, so good...and I eagerly await the other items you are re-testing, and I will then go to the original video from a year ago that I obviously missed. Thank you so much for making this!!! :D
Must be nice to have prayers answered.
@@englishatheart Hi, is everything ok?
My favorite author, Goodkind! Wow you guys look a bit alike too
I enjoy your reviews and seeing all the products are solutions in search of a problem!
This man could be a counselor for some reason his voice is very soothing I'm sure his kids never had an outburst in their life because it's kind of hard to have an outburst at home when your dad's voice is so chill
Thank you James I really enjoy your reviews, you have a great sense of humour and are very entertaining 😊
I still have my corner shelf that uses razar blades & pin to hold up. I got it late 90s early 00s
10 out of 10 for your series... Stating that a diet cola cant be used saved me from buying it... Are there any devices that can make a calorie free slushie or is the sugar necessary for slushiness?
The sugar is necessary for the texture, you can make something out of diet soda, but it's the same as freezing water, either it's liquid or a block, and very little besides shaved ice in-between
Wouldn't be the exact same texture but the fluffy setting on a shaved ice machine could work
Just in time, hope you’ve been well James
I can only imagine this guys garage is packed floor to ceiling with products he’s reviewed over the years. U catch little glimpses of parts of his house and with as many products as he’s reviewed you’d see stuff all over the place if all of them actually got used on a regular basis. My guess is probably 10-15% of the stuff he reviews actually gets used somewhat regularly or as often as necessary for the products intended purpose
>tests obvious gadgets for hiding maryjane
>tries putting credit cards and keys in it
Congratulations for the 600k subs🎉🎉🎊🎊🥳
I have 2 clocks both with the same controller/maciacal setup 1 aa battery.
The safe clock i have had for over a year and if the aa battery is below 1.2V it hangs up the 2ed hand.
The same with my main clock yet it works down to 1V = 2 more months of use.
Do a top ten of all time items!
Love the review updates ❤️👌🏼
If someone came into your space to steal, chances are they'd steal the clock just because...why not. So your "hidden" valuables would be gone too.
The cleaning one is genius tho literally no one will think of it, and if it rattles, those type of cans often rattle anyway
Bailey Is adorable
The egg thing. All you need is a container with a lid. Soak your boiled eggs in cold water for 2 minutes pour the water out leave about an inch of water put the lid on and shake i peeled a dozen eggs in less than 2 minutes. Oh you might have to crack the eggs before you shake them. Have fun.
“Oh the water is clear! I’m relieved!”
… I get what he was thinking, but it’s literally like leaving water in a plastic bag for a year. It’s not like leaving it in a pool.
Freakin Reviews Sunday!
My old Mum just got herself an Egg Pod and she loves it. You can say they at least sold two of them now 😂
You left out the fact that the Barbasol can had white powder in it. I think they gave you a little nose candy as a bonus. LOL
people planning on robbing his house now know not to check the clock I guess
Same
Might be reversed psycology😉
If you run your credit cards through a shredder, the pieces should easily fit into the hairbrush safe. You may have to melt down your keys, though, to fit more than one of them into the brush. But it's still a winner in my book as the crow flies.
Always appreciate seeing the updates!🧡
8:12 Man's about to hide some dinosaur embryos
Glad someone said it! 😂 That was my first thought.
I am a fiend for slush drinks, I had one of those squeezey-type slush cups and it was one of the best things I've ever owned. I ended up accidentally ruining it by leaving it out for too long, the gel stuff got destructed thanks to... I dunno environmental exposure or something? But now that I've been reminded they exist, I'm about to go get another one XD
This product provided a GREAT night sleep for my wife and I, night 1 of use. If you are thinking about getting one pillow, get two - it's a great deal!
Thanks for another wonderful video!
I use clothes pins to keep bags closed ($2 for 50), but I still like the slider.
In case anyone is wondering, I'm pretty sure the cereals used in the cereal bit are Cheerios Oat Crunch, Kix, Frosted Mini Wheats, and not sure about the last one.
Rice Krispies
@@alexisw6764 That's definitely not Rice Krispies (15:57) but I did miss the Raisin Bran Crunch at 14:55.
whats your favorite vacuum to clean up Baileys fur ? I have a Leonberger and they shed like crazy , need some ideas
Love the one year reviews. Lots of things sound great and do work....but are the practical for repeated use...thats the question
That's actually a wind scorpion not a spider. Very common in the deserts of the western United States.
insta-hang was more like insta-fall, and i have one of those granite stone pans, not the pro, but i love it. only issue i've had is food sometimes sticks to the handle rivets inside the pan, which aren't non-stick
I have the clock. No one in the many years I had it, not even my ex-husband, realized what it was until I told them... Honestly, if it's displayed like a clock and you don't try to hide it, people don't see it. Unless the robber already knows about it, they won't go for it. They will go for more obvious things, like my portable safe and computers... XD I mean, it would suck to have anything stolen at this point.
As always
great content
The cereal dispenser could be used for other things, ie. Dry pet food.
Just so you know I'm a massive perogies eater and you do not have to boil them first if you're going to fry them. From freezer to fry pan is all you need.
The shaving cream safe would probably work the best out of them for a hotel room.
And works great for stealing dino DNA from Jurassic Park. 😌🤓
I was impressed with the egg pod. It works great!
Well at least you know the peanut butter jar safe does it's job pretty well, lol putting it further back in a cabinet or pantry and making sure you have a more obvious jar right up front and no one would know.
Can't believe I've been watching your videos for a couple years and just now subscribed. Sorry about that i thought I was 😁😁.... I am now for what it counts lol
His garagesale will be epic.
Gotta question on the cereal dispenser. Does it keep the cereal from going stale? Is there some way that it will seal the cereal away from air?
I actually bought the back sealer after seeing your video i was impressed with the idea and we don't have anything like this i store's here. I've been using them for everything I can. and love them. A great product i my opinion.
Great review, James. Thanks!
I forget, did the freezer slushie thing work to make wine slushies?
James, since you’ve now done your update on these products, you should give away the ones you don’t use. I’d love/use that green slush maker.
The Thumbnail for this channel looks like a bodybuilder, James White is a healthy man in his 50s but doesn't give off a "bodybuilder" personanna. Not judging just an oibservaton. Very helpful channel and I always look forward to every upload,
