"I hate sweet corn" my poor, little, corn raised, Iowan heart just can't 😢
For real! I'm so curious what about it is not for them!
Sweet corn is the best of the corns!
Rightttt, Indiana corn and bred 😂
Ditto!
I hate corn too,always have its disgusting. There's just something gross about the taste, it's really strong but can't say what it is about it
"DON'T SAY GROMMET LIKE IT'S A WORD!"
😂😂😂 I'm freakin' dying!!!
Rachel's relationship with her sisters-in-law is so wholesome.
‘Don’t say grommets like it’s a word!’
‘That’s what it is!’
‘I believe you but I’m mad!’
😂😂😂😂
Ninja chopper was a GAMECHANGER for baby food. So much easier clean up etc than a blender !
The whole time they were using it I kept thinking that depending on what someone was chopping with it, if they went too far it would just become baby food or something to hide in other food so their kids ate some veggies. 😂
Also excellent if you have an older adult with choking problems who needs to eat a softer diet
I have the old version, and I love that they updated it with the lid. My biggest complaint with mine is it is a pain to clean. It also makes amazing pesto!
A step stool! If you don’t have one. My husband and I put one on and got one and we still use it all the time
The best advice that my mother ever gave me when I was putting together my own registry, was to put things on there that you would feel guilty buying for yourself. If you really love those fancy glasses, plates, appliance; but couldn't see yourself justify buying them, stick them on the registry! You end up with some amazing things that way.
That is a really good idea.
Hi from France. Ok so here, these type of soupmakers are (I would say) quite popular for a single person/couple use. They are really practical in the way you only need to roughly shop your veggies and throw them in to make a very nice soup (so no need for that chopper machine). I personally add "broth cubes" to enhance those flavours. It's a quick and easy device that allows you to eat healthy soups homemade when you have a busy schedule and you only need 1-3 max servings. Sorry I don't usually comment but I love that device so much in the winter months that I wanted to explain a bit more it's popularity haha. It's always fun to see the differences between European vs. North American differences in habits (example : i feel like would never buy a milkshake or ice cream device for example, but a yogourt machine yes). Always love your videos !
I'm German and all I could think was that that soupmaker is like a Thermomix light version!
I think another thing is, firstly family size, as you said a soup maker like that is good for 1-2 people maybe, whereas in a bigger family a slow cooker or in a pot gives a bigger portion. But also, not saying this in a derogatory way FYI, but I have noticed Americans and Canadians like big portions of things. Like I remember watching one video of a lady trying to make a huge kettle of tea, because she didn't want to make individual cups of tea as and when needed, and I have noticed that generally, that Canadians/Americans can prefer to batch make things instead of making individual portions. So culturewise a thing that only makes 1-2 portions of soup probably doesn't feel like enough?
@@kierancampireWell because it's obviously made for only 1-3 people. It's like complaining that a mini waffle maker is too small for a family.
@@hermiona1147 I said that myself? I don't know why you're explaining that to me like I am stupid/said otherwise? I explained that the reason they maybe didn't like it as much as because it didn't fit their needs as they want something larger? I never complained about anything? I was just explaining they want more portions most likely?
I see what you’re saying. And @kierancampire is right, we Americans do tend to batch things and then freeze them for later. And a soup like that chicken noodle soup that Rachel made would be the meal, perhaps with some good, crusty bread, not just a starter. My version tends to be heartier.
A big favorite for my family is ham and navy bean soup. That’s one I simmer on the stove for 2-3 hours and it’s even better the next day. I make it a lot in the winter since my state is just about center of the US/Canadian border on Lake Superior. It’s hearty and warms you on a really cold day. I just have to remind them that I get to have some too.
I’m the weirdo who likes to chop veggies. I just zone out and listen to music. I think it’s relaxing.
Agreed!
Me too! It's a treat to come home from a long day at work and be able to just sit in silence, still my brain, and just methodically chop. I'm not even quick with it, just a steady chop. Although I like to do things slow, so that's probably a part of it. Most of my life isn't efficient or streamlined. I like doing things the "old fashioned way."
Me too. That’s my favorite part of cooking!
Same
Same! The preparations to cook are the most important task, I like to take my time while listening to youtube :)
I have the ninja chopper thing and for me it shines for making hummus, salsa or other dips. It is the perfect size for the amount of ingredients and then it is the storage container too. It is also powerful enough to handle frozen fruit to make a smoothie bowl.
My favorite thing to make in it is pesto!
18:06 When y’all are saying “grommet”, all I could think of is Wallace & Gromit😅😂❤
Our dog was named Gromit because of how much we loved the show!
Definitely put good towels on the registry! Thick fluffy ones 😊
Congratulations Dibs!!! Just want to say I ❤ my Ninja!! I’ve had mine for 15 years and it has never gone dull. As far as my favorite wedding gift, we got married 10/15/2016 and we received the best gift, it was “a cozy evening together in a box”, it was a board game, soft his&her pjs, 2 mugs, and hot coco mix. It was the most adorable gift we received and is now my go-to wedding gift 💝.
Your ninja is just older than mine! I love that you're still enjoying it! I got mine in 2015. Also, your anniversary is my birthday! Happy early anniversary!
@@kcricket39 happy early birthday 🥳
29:40 Those glasses would also make good ice cream dishes😊❤ They remind me of bowls my grandmother had, that ridging .😅
This was my first thought too!
(The ice-cream dishes, not your grandma)
My suggestion? give all the items to Dibs- bypass the registry! 😂❤😂
I appreciate that the prices where included, because that's usually cut out and I think the price of an item also plays into whether you'd want to buy it.
This! Some videos I'm like, "Oh that looks cool, I need this in my life." and then I go to look it up and I'm like, "Nope, I don't need it that bad. Nevermind." 🤣
"Oooo I want that. WTF NO 300 dollars???"
The silliest gadgets is the curtain thing. Why it takes longer to figure things out then to open yiur curtain for a gear 😁
My most used item from my registry is the My Place perfect pot. Also a great item to add is a fire proof document safe
I second the document safe. Something fireproof and waterproof is a must
She is so lucky to have you helping her to test out things for her wedding and for establishing a home. Great family vibes.
My husband and I have been married for 5 years and our favourite gift that we still use all the time is a grill/griddle/waffle iron press. It’s the best when you want to make panini or pancakes!
I've had my Ninja Chop for YEARS & it's the most used small appliance in my kitchen. Mine came with a pitcher to make drinks/smoothies, which I never use. But I literally use the processor 3-4 times a week. I can blend cottage cheese so smooth to make salad dressing. I've made nut butters in it. Seriously, it is LIFE-CHANGING!!!
25:52 for the milkshake machine you can take out the cup from the top hook and hold it in different angles so it can mix everything better.
This are very popular in Mexico, they use them to make chocolate milk and takes it to another level
My grandfather had one of these and just used chocolate ice cream and milk. It is the best tasting milkshake! I have tried making milkshakes in other blinders and nothing comes close. You do have to unhook the cup and move it up and down/side to side to get everything mixed and frothed, but it is easy and so worth it! Love!
This video had more “two sisters, one brain cell” energy than usual and I was laughing so hard 😂
My people😂
So interesting, we in europe have moved on from gifting things and now just give money, because then the couple doesnt get like more than one toaster e.g. And if they live together already, they usually already have those things. So the money is more versatile 😊
Btw love your Videos on both channels, dont understand how you dont have more subs 😮
Love from Austria ❤
On a contemporary registry, if for some reason they added a toaster, people looking at it would see whether one had already been purchased so there would not be duplicates. It's fun for many people to shop for things the couple would really like to have.
We put on Joseph Joseph kitchen items. A bit dearer than the regular stuff so we found them hard to justify but great for a levelling up gift.
Coming from someone who loves to cook, coming home from a long day at work and getting to sit down and just let my mind go blank while I chop is therapeutic. Like, I'm just sitting in silence and just listening to the sound of the knife cutting veggies. My mom asked me one time if I wanted a quick chopper tool and I flat out told her no. 🤣 Although, in general, I love doing things the slow way, so that's probably a part of it. Most of my life is not efficient or streamlined.
Dibs is so right about mobility issues when it comes to chopping. I have a bad back and chopping vegetables is a nightmare for me. I have the FullStar manual chopper with mandolin attachments. It is game changing! It's easy to use, has a bunch of options for dicing and slicing, and everything is cut uniformly in no time. And every piece can go in the dishwasher! Oh, and it's cheap!!! Wins across the board. I'd rather spend the $30 bucks for that than a physical therapy session.
Freaking out over weird things and being chill during a crisis is super relatable 😂
A better option for the food processor would be one of the immersion blenders with different attachments! Mine has a chopper attachment, whisk, and the immersion blender attachment and it definitely saves space having essentially 3 appliances in one. I don’t use the chopper extremely often but I like to use it for chopping veggies for something like meatloaf where you don’t want huge chunks in it. Plus the immersion blender attachment would be great for creamier soups 😉
Agree, the Kitchen aid one is really good! I was thinking as watching the video why would I get that when I could get the immersion blender that has other attachments.
Those glasses are beautiful! Another use could be for desserts, for the non drinkers.
Registry recommendations: cordless immersion blender (we have cuisinart), an air fryer (ninja!), and of course a kitchenaid stand mixer! A wildcard: the meater thermometer. We were in charge of making the thanksgiving turkey our first year of marriage and the meater made it perfect!
Get a mandolin if you want speed and consistency. They are awesome for quickly getting through veg.
They are amazing and don’t need a lot of space! You only need a good veggie holder to protect your fingers.
My wife and I have had our Ninja for years and love it don't have any problems with the blades dulling either
I’d love to see Amazon “luxury” items that are affordable like those cute iridescent glasses😍
I have used Ninja choppers or Nutri Bullets for years. I made bread crumbs, chopped veggies, chopped frozen fruit down to a frozen purée with rice milk or almond milk for my milk allergic children, milk shakes, puréed baby food galore… definitely recommend them. I actually never really had an issue with the blades dulling. I’d use them for so many things that we would need another because the motor would finally die. Been married for over 30 years-one product I’d definitely rebuy- ninja.
If the blades seem dull, chop some ice, sharpens them right up!
I have one of those Ninja chop things and absolutely love it! I use it A LOT to make my garden salsa and it is so much easier to lug around than a giant food processor!
I LOVE my Ninja. I would hardly ever cook without it.
I have the ninja foodie xl. It saved my life literally when I had the ick
I have arthritis and a mini food processor- I don’t use it all the time, but for batch cooking stuff like chili or spaghetti bolognese, where you’re chopping lots of veggies it’s super helpful.
I’ve had my ninja chop for 20 +yrs. Was a wedding gift. I have 3sizes. In the last 2 years it’s finally shown signs of aging. I will replace because it is strong and built great. We aren’t as careful with ours as y’all are being lol. It’s a good one!
I've been married for 26 years- the best thing we got from registry was our everyday dishes - we used them till about a year ago when we replaced them. also and nice flatware and glassware. I suggest dish towels and nice knives.
Love the ninja chop for making sauces. It is a food processor. I also use it for smoothing or softening cottage cheese and cream cheese.
Oh good idea!
Great for making jam too! Chops berries so fast
I've had that soup maker for a couple years and it was such a game changer. I would prep all my ingredients and have them separated into portions in the freezer, then when I'm done with work I'd just toss it into the soup maker and let it do it's thing! Dinner is ready in less than 30 minutes. So convenient because the last thing I want to do after working is prep and cook a whole meal.
Got married 2 years ago and my fav registry items we use often and love are the instant vortex air fryer, ninja blender, ceramic canister set, nice bedding set, and good glassware.
Things I bought after or I wish I'd put on our registry were big fluffy bath sheets, ice maker, toaster, and a ceramic dishware set.
Hear me out: the Nina's chopper it's a hard no. The Ninja BL770 system is WAY BETTER. It comes with a blender, a processor bowl (in which you can chop, blend, even make dough...), and 2 smaller like to-go cups for smoothies, vinaigrettes, sauces, etc. It even comes with preset programs, a timer if you want to work it for xxxx amount of time, and manual operator. I've had it for YEARS and it's AMAZING. My husband, who is a professional cook, LOVES IT.
Dibs and Chris absolutely came from the same set of parents.
I have had that soup maker for over a decade and I LOVE it for blended soups. I use it almost every week in the winter and don’t have to deal with the splash from blending it myself. Also it doesn’t heat up the kitchen so soup season can come even sooner!
Hi Rachel. I make it short. If Dips wants a multifunctional device, she should look for a Thermomix. Safes so many kitchen tools. Best regards from Munich, Germany. 😊 Petra
I have the same clock and it's legitimately the only thing that will wake me up anymore. I love how loud or how soft I can make the noises and that you can connect it to the radio if you wanted or just have white noise. The dimming of both the "sun" as well as the clock is also a big win. One of the best purchases I made three years ago.
I love my Ninja! I will say that it isn't something that I'm constantly using, but I have crushed Oreos in that thing more times that I can count! I've also made smoothies in mine, when I didn't want to get out my big Ninja blender. It's also very easy to clean!
I use the Ninja chop and I love it. I use it for onion mostly. If I want a chunkier onion or what ever is being chopped. I hand cut the very large pieces, not a big deal and saves my hands a ton.
The ninja chop machine is great for hiding veggies in foods for kids. I have something similar, and I use it for carrots/peppers/celery/onions to put in chilis and pasta sauces.
Best thing to add to a registry are good quality bed sheets and towels.
So the most used appliance that we have gotten and had to replace because we couldn’t live without (married 19 years now) is a two layer rice cooker/veggie steamer! Makes perfect rice-easy, dishwasher safe. Also helped us make both our sets of twins baby food!
Also, splurge and put a serving tray you love on your registry and USE IT! Grilling meat and veggies just at home for family-use the tray! Enjoy it!
You can't go wrong with anything Ninja. We have several different Ninja things and love them all. The Ninja indoor grill is probably one of our most used appliances in the winter time. My favorite wedding gift was my kitchen aid mixer followed by our stoneware plates and bowls. We are still using both almost 9 years later.
For the curtain robot I used the Switchbot I found it easier to use than the one you have, it's also a little more expensive, but also the robot works by actually scooting on your rod not by pulling the rope. I personally am not sure what the beads are for, but you have to put the robot inside the first panel of the curtain, because it's going to drag the rest of the curtain behind it, so you have to get one curtain per panel. I like the switchbot because it works with Google and Alexa and I can program a time to open and close.
When Rachel said that the milkshake thing told said it reminded her of a Pixar lamp I was so grateful because I thought that IMMEDIATELY when she pulled it out.
I absolutely adore Dibs! Her charm and personality are such a great compliment to you. Thank you for sharing! ❤
I love my Ninja chopper. Have had it for 5 years. Even use it for chicken to make chicken salad. It’s great!
The Ninja is great to hide veggies (especially onions). I completely puree the onion to literal pure mush and no one actually sees it in my dishes. They have no idea they are eating it and they love it- as long as they don’t see it! Win/win.
I will be married for 10 years in December. I got that same kind of Ninja chopper for a shower gift, and I still use the same one! It's really good.
I’ve had my ninja chopper for 15 years and it’s still extremely sharp!
We got many things that weren't on our registry (people here like to go rogue and just got you what they think you want- random decorations for your home, serving ware, random appliances). My favorite items that we did get that were actually on our registry were a handheld vacuum (Pet Eraser Lithium Ion cordless), our fruit stand (it's 2 tier and it's stayed on our table since got it), and a hand mixer!
LOVE my ninja products. The chipper is by far the most used product. No joke, I have had 3 sets of them! THAT is how much I love and use them! Love all my ninja products though!
As far as the blade not remaining sharp, I have not run across that issue yet! Mine are still razor sharp (I have scars in my hands to prove it!)
The motor will go out (in about 2 years ish for us, because I use mine almost DAILY) before the blades will go dull!
LOVE my Ninja! I got one for my wedding 12 years ago and it has held up with daily use!
Great guest = great video=fun time with Dibs and Rachel.
When my cousin got married, they put board games on their registry. So, I bought them Settlers of Catan! They still have it, and still play it, so I say that's a win.
I'm late to watching this but the ninja chop device would work great for making baby food. We received the kitchenaide immersion blender / choppee we use all the time for small processing, soups and even whisking. It fits in a drawer and saves space.
My husband and I got items for our home from both Target and Macy's. We got: towels, sheets, pillows, table runners mostly from Target, then from Macy's we got Kate Spade dish set (which we never use) and candle holders (also Kate Spade) and we picked some other glassware (that I don't think we actually got) but it was fun to pick stuff. Macy's gave us a hand-held device that we just went around and clicked the bar codes into that turned into a list...it was so fun! This year will be our 20th anniversary!
p.s. that curtain thing would drive me nuts, it was so loud!
When I got married my husband and I were already living together so we had a lot of the basics. We registered for nicer versions of those things we wouldn’t buy ourselves. We were 21 so the bar was low 😂. But my favorite items that were gifted weren’t the fancy gadgets (I honestly only have 2 or 3 left from the registry), but the necessities. Things like towels, pans, knives and even the little things like a knife sharpener and organization. We even registered for a nice rug and bedding! (We still have the rug almost 11 years later). It all depends on your wants and needs.
Absolutely love your videos, but I especially love them when Dibs joins you. You complement each other so well 😊
That sunrise alarm, I have the same kind. They are amazing! In the winter especially, I am up before dawn to go to work, and this wakes me gently and I can wake slowly and see what I'm doing getting ready without having to wake anyone up with lights or loud radios going off.
Love the video! I just want to say that I have the exact same soup maker and I love it! There's no need to chop your veg that small, I just quarter everything for a blended soup and it works great every time. I think the machine is better for smaller families, when there's no need for a giant pot of soup. I just make soup every day in this and it's fantastic!
Do you have to cook the meat? I think the recipe they made would’ve said cooked chicken if it needed to be precooked
I have a similar chopper that I got over 25 years ago and I love it! I am still on the same blade. I also stuff it as much as I can but I’m not too picky about everything being a certain size. It has saved me so much time and tears (onions). It’s my favourite gadget!
I've had the ninja chopper for YEARS it still works like it did in day one tbh. It does chop everything small though so i now only use it to chop up my garlic, cause i prefer bigger pieces for cooking. Super easy for chopping and cleaning though.
I have a set of Coupe glasses, I don’t just use for beverage, they are nice dessert dishes .
I only own one thing by Ninja. It is the Ninja Foodi Neverstick pots and pans. Best pots and pans I have ever owned. Awesome non-stick and heavy duty.
You just had to release this on my literal wedding day 🙃
I needed this months ago
Dibs is right, that Ninja "Chop" is just a food processor, not a chopper at all. I have a generic food processor that is that size, except not that giant tall top piece, so mine actually is a better size for a small kitchen. But either way, carrot pieces through a food processor would be waaaay too small for something like roasted veggies.
The mixer for the milkshakes, you need to move the cup around. You lift the cup up and down with the thing spinning. Makes a perfect frappe (milkshake)
You may get more even chopping with the Ninja if you hold the button a bit longer. Usually for a pulse they say to hold the button for a full second.
My mom has the milkshake maker. She scrambles eggs with it! And yes, it does work for vanilla milkshakes 😂
Don’t forget to put things a couple smaller things as opposed to a big giant over $100 thing and they still feel good about getting something on your registry.
I would say $25 or less.
Really good way to get all matching kitchen, utensils, and kitchen gadgets, e.g. can opener and bottle openers😊
We've had that exact ninja chopper (plus the accompanying pitcher blender that uses the same "top engine" -- came as a set) for over 16 years and still use it constantly. The blades are still as sharp as the first day we got it. We've made everything from smoothies and desserts to savory dinners and soups with it. Very HIGHLY recommend!
I have the 10+ years older version of that Ninja. I much prefer that top to the one mine has. Definitely easier to clean. Anyone who has the one like mine knows what I’m talking about.
That soup kettle looks like it would be good for people who travel in their RV.
Ask for a food processor with chop attachment if you actually want to chop. These good choppers are really only good for mincing. You wouldn’t use it for soup because it’s so uneven.
I would totally add an ice machine for my registry 🤩
Our household uses the Ninja chopper for garlic or garlic and ginger together. Remove the skins (separate the cloves, cut the root end off each clove, smash the clove with the side of the knife, remove the skin and drop in the Ninja). Be sure to follow the instructions to only tap to pulse.
I have the Instant Pot Ace blender that I use only for making soups and it makes a fabulous potato leak pureed soup. It cooks and blends at the same time and looks like a glass pitcher blender. You can use it as just a blender as well.
The Ninja one used to come with a pitcher, and they called it the Party Prep (or something), many moons ago. I still have mine, and we use it a lot! It's great for makes sauces and dips (and the pitcher is great for mixed iced drinks and such :D )
I use my ninja to make my omelets with fresh veggies. I add the eggs and the vegetables to the container and hit the top a few times. Saves so much time when cooking for a family.
Prepworks by Progressive dice slice chopper has worked best in my opinion for ease of use and even pieces! Also, I have a DASH safe slice mandoline that works beautifully! Easiest and safest mandoline I’ve ever used! 😍
Omg! I just sold that milkshake blender at a garage sale…. The kicker it was my grandma’s from the 1950s!
The fact that you guys seemed so surprised by a soup maker, really threw me! I've had mine for years and I love it. It's handy when making soups when the kids are at home, as I can throw everything in and walk off and leave it, and not have to worry about it, which is helpful with small humans running round. I also make sauces in mine, partly for that reason, and partly because it blends it as well, so I'm not getting multiple pans and blenders dirty. Though I have a different brand, and it was much cheaper than that one.
My favorite and most used registry gift was a nice carry on suitcase. I’ve had it for 5 years now and it’s still going strong!
I use my ninja chopper all the time. Got it when I went to uni, have had it for 7 years and still use it and it’s great!
When we were kids my mom started pureeing the veggies because I hated soggy veggies and so did my sister. We’re now in our 30s and still puree the veggies because tbh it’s faster to cook and making a cool orange color 😂
Been married for 6 years and the best gifts have been bedding and the wedding money that we used to buy a new bed. A good night sleep is so important.
I use a mini chopper for making sauces and marinades. I love the large capacity of the ninja chopper!
I highly recommend adding some Wilton Armetale serving dishes to the registry. They have them at Macys but other places too. They can be heated or chilled and they look beautiful. We use them any time we are serving food to guests or bringing food to a nice party, but we also use them even for charcuterie night for us and our kiddos. Now that I think of it I need to get more as gifts for my husband because he loves them! Also, add more silverware than you think you need because it will go missing.
The ninja chopper looks exactly like the chopper that came included with my immersion blender(I have a Bosch), why would you buy that separate? Just buy a immersion blender, that thing does almost everything and does not take up a lot of space. Including blending soup in the pan.
Yes immersion blender !!
It would probably make better milkshakes too!
