As a Brit who's been to the Netherlands many times, I have a verjaardagskalender and I regularly use a kaasschraaf. A good idea is a good idea no matter where it originated. I do think I need to get a flessenlikker to get to the bottom of all the jars.
Kaasschaaf 3x: one regular, one for young (softer) cheese, and one for grating. Flessenlikker 2x: one for (1 liter) bottles, and a shorter one for smaller bottles and jars. Oh, and no verjaardagskalender (excellent word for Scrabble).
We use dutch cheese slicers in my family as we emigrated to Canada when I was a child. My son will study in Utrecht in September and I asked him if he wanted to bring our cheese slicer so he would feel at home. Hahahaha
The cheese slicer (ostehøvel in Norwegian, osthyvel in Swedish) is a Norwegian invention. Every household in Norway and Sweden have at least one. I have two. A plastic bag over the saddle is common here in Sweden, too.
I have also three kaasschaven! My parents lived in Iraq, Morocco and Tunesie. Guess what whe had Santa Claus, Black Peet and always 3 or more kaasschaven.
Have you ever noticed that the "flessenlikker" has a very special type of plastic at the end. It is "slow" plastic that if bent it slowly retakes its form, without splashing the content all around.
New here. Start paying your editor, lol. On the other hand, your less-than-perfect videos are a breath of fresh air in youtube land and also utterly charming. So, now I have to watch all your stuff. Thanks again for the recommendation, youtube. ;-)
An "Ostehøvel" in Norweigan where its origin is, though commonly known in English as a cheese slicer or funny enough a Swedish cheese knife "Osthyvel". As a Nordic, one is astonished how bad most hard cheeses south of the Baltic and North sea are.
Yup, the *kaasschaaf* is not Dutch. Except for the The Hague type that produces the thinnest slices possible. Speaking of which, *Haags bakkie* is a coffee cup with the capacity of an Italian espresso cup. Except that its used for weak watery coffee.
Old Gouda cheese is the best hard cheese, no competition. I want it so hard you cant even cut it with a knife, it just falls apart in chunks. Delicious. On bread, on toast, on your pasta, or as part of a cheese platter.
the Washandjes are as old fashioned in the Netherlands as they are in other country's i remember them from my grandparents and my father but its getting harder to find them. I do not know one person around me that uses them.
The 'washandje' must be invented by that one Dutch guy, in prison, who hated when he dropped his soapbar, one to many times. That's why the world knows the term 'smartass'. Don't know if that's a fact, but it's a good explanation. 😂
I have been told that the 'kaasschaaf' in fact is a Swedish invention, adopted by the Dutch.
It’s in fakt a Norwegian invention.
@@streetlinepeter9360 Aha?
It is from Norway
It doesn’t matter, we made money out of it.
There is a factory ( GIAX ) in Norway that makes them for o.a. HEMA 😉
Ik gebruik de kaasschaaf ook voor de komkommer. 😊
Ik ook!!!
Same
Aardappel ook
MeToo!
Ook het schillen van wortelen.
De kaasschaaf-rasp is ook werelds!
The cheese slicer was a Norwegian invention, by the way.

Kaasschaaf is also handy to slice cucumber, carrots, apples et cetera.
I did enjoy it and I do feel smarter because I now am!
Gracias
Dutch guy here. Have been living in Spain for 40 years. Only have 1 of your items: The kaasschaaf.
The flessenlikker and kaasschraaf are must-haves for foodies..!

De kaasschaaf gebruik ik ook voor wortels en appels en uien
Uien heb ik nog niet geprobeerd, ga ik zeker doen. 👍🏽😊

@@juanitao722 It's not Dutch cheese slicers. They are Norwegian and have nothing to do with the Netherlands!!!!
I loved the bottle licker! I want one!

@@GunnarCreutz I live in Sweden and actually have 3 cheese slicers.
When I emigrated to Canada I took a kaasschaaf with me but, to my surprise, they sell them there too 😀
I think we have 7 cheese slisers. Just because we can.
I have also three kaasschaven! My parents lived in Iraq, Morocco and Tunesie. Guess what whe had Santa Claus, Black Peet and always 3 or more kaasschaven.
De kaasschaaf is ook ook goed voor "huidtransplantaties"

Only when it is new. The plastic hardens a little over time.
@@ronaldderooij1774 I left the Netherlands 35 years ago and brought my "flessenlikker", it still works as it should!
There wasn't much that was Dutch from what she listed! They usually say that Bluetooth is a Dutch invention. But it was Ericson who invented it.
Thank you for sharing! I'm watching from New Netherland :)

The cheeseslicer has been available here in the UK for years and years!!

@@TheSuperappelflap Gouda, no thanks...
@@qwertyuio266 Heresy! Prepare to be invaded. The entire world will eat our cheese and you're gonna like it!
2:34 not only for your face, you wash your whole body with it. Predecessor of a shower spounge.
sorry "washandjes" are not difficult to find in France ! you can find them in supermarkets.
Do you have only 3 cheese slices? I have 5 or 6

Dutch economics!
This is how the Dutch got rich cent by cent!

Hema. That's not hard to find.
Action sells them by the dozens.
What are you talking about? Every store that sells towels will also sell washandjes. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't have them.
They are a cheap and reusable way to scrub, so I don’t get why people in ould not use them more often.
ik heb er zelfs 2, 1voor m,n gezicht en 1 voor m,n kont.Verschillende kleuren natuurlijk,anders haal ik ze door elkaar.
Can't live without a kaasschaaf. 😂
leuke video, dank
If you want a realy good "kaasschaaf" buy them from your local cheeseshop/specialist, or just go straight for Boska cheeseplanes.
You are funny!😂
👍❤👍

Grappig zeg.....pfffff.
I mis de ,, spaarpot " in all Dutch houses you can find it , speciale for the kids the learning the Save money
Well, not any more, our government made sure of that.
many countries use piggy banks, so it's not really only a Dutch thing
Sorry but cheeseslicer Not Dutch. It's a Norwegian invention by a carpenter! Has absolutely nothing to do with Holland!
Sorry to disappoint you. This Dutchman living in Suriname doesn't own any of those five - and didn't before he emigrated either.
Surprised you never owned a kaasschaaf that’s like…a basic Dutch tool
I prefer a knife. Thicker slices.
