guys? the eggcracker is for boiled eggs .. not for uncooked ones. we germans eat "frühstücksei" - breakfast egg - spooned out of an eggcup so the removing of the head makes it easier to spoon the egg ...
I can't believe the British didn't think of a soft egg. With toast soldiers 😊
Exactly my thought. I've had mine for close to 20 years. Love it
@@mattymattffsI mean my great grandparents had one as did myy grandmother but soft boiled eggs went out of style in the US before I was born 40+ years ago.
I also wondered why they didn't try it with the soft egg, I hope they see this comment and try it again
I do like what they've done with it though. An egg-cracker is a bit of a hard sell as a single-use gadget, but using the shells as free serving vessels expands the usability. It might also be useful for someone who doesn't have the dexterity to crack raw eggs the normal way as it DOES cut cleanly.
The egg cracker is usually used in Germany for hard boiled eggs.
Mostly so you can spoon out the egg with ease during breakfast
Literally never seen anyone use this on raw eggs before..
Nice 👌
Normally it is just called "Eier-Klack"(Egg-Klack).
@@SortedFood More specificly not a fully hard boiled egg, but a bit on the softer side. Firm egg white, soft egg yolk. Because then, the top with egg white lifts up and the soft yolk stays in the egg, not making a mess.
Came here to say this too. I use it with soft boiled eggs and buttered toast for dipping
Jamie diligently reducing food waste by munching the entire cake was delightful to watch ❤
The Polygon spoons were a Kickstarter project way back in 2016. They have yet to fulfill the shipments to the backers and haven't communicated on Kickstarter since April 2023. Instead of delivering the products to the ones who funded they campaign, they went silent and started selling the product to the general population.
Yep. I'm one of the idiots that backed that Kickstarter
Yupe me too! Wish there was a way of sueing these bastards. I don't do any kickstarters anymore because of this.
Me three. I guess I should be happy that they exist at all?
@@Paperfragment You would think kickstarter would have a way to defend backers and hold the businesses responsible and accountable to the backers
I just messaged them on kickstarter because WTF! They are selling them already. They haven't updated their kickstarter backers since April of last year!
The second gadget is such a god send. One arm is mostly useless from MS, so eggs suck to open with no shell. But now? My god, a peice of easy metal that lasts and is that easy? THANK YOU Bought one so fast, scrambled eggs are back.
These guys often overlook accessibility reasons, like most...
@@JanaeSmith Actually, genuinely surprised this slipped. My kitchen has quite a few things they have shown and highlighted how it'd help.
Will to be fair like they demonstrated this isn't great for raw eggs. Because it's not meant for that. There are other kitchen tools used to crack raw eggs that are easy to use for someone with accessibility issues I wouldn't have suggested this one just because every time you crack an egg it's going to spill everywhere
This is seriously amazing to hear! We should have mentioned that in the video.... this one slipped us, however we're so glad that it will help you. Here's to scrambled eggs! 😋
I am just shaking my head in absolute confusion i’m literally holding my head in angst as to why they would not realize that the egg topper is to remove the shell off a soft boiled egg. Who would immediately think of using this on raw eggs 😳 I mean, aren’t the British sort of famous for soft, boiled eggs in cute little cups with toast soldiers?
I live in Austria and have seen it used in many households. Never, however, for raw eggs. That being said; No finicky peeling and an opening just right for a wee teaspoon makes it a nifty gadget indeed. Perfect for cute cups, cafe and Kaisers.
In angst? You need to get a grip…
Seems to have worked just fine for raw eggs, so why can't it be used for both?
@@christianseibold3369 I didn’t say it couldn’t be used for raw eggs. I said it was strange to jump to that first thing as its primary use and then never even come to the conclusion that it would be primarily used for soft boiled eggs
@@christianseibold3369 Here, here. Until I saw this video, it never occurred to me to use it on raw eggs. I like the decorating angle too. Planting garden cress (Gartenkresse) inside the shell is a cute idea. Cress on eggs is delicious.
Mike: **attempts German**
Jamie: "Are you sure?"
😂😂😂
did Mike mangle the prononciation bad enough to insult someone grandmother instead of what he tried? i don't speak german. did not sound anything like what was written
@@bakerbob533 no he did not but he also mumbled the backend of that word pretty bad xD
but it's also a long a$$ word because german has the (often questionable) ability to just chain nouns together as much as you want xD And the Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher has 3 nouns (Eierschalen, Sollbruchstellen, Verursacher) and is often named when talkng about long words.
Eier Soll bruch stellen ver ur sach er
Not that hard :P (If you're born to, at least, a white lower middle class german family of course KEK)
@@serenetiv can you acctualy pronounce it on one breath?
@@Nixx0912 If I hear it a few hundred times (I took 3 semesters in college) then I probably could, but I in no way could without that, and still can't do more than a syllable or three of Barbara's Rhubarb Bar.
I really appreciate the sound engineering, I never hear chewing but I do hear everyone talking clearly - super impressive! ❤
Jamie’s absolute HATRED of the spoons is so funny 😂
And I don't understand why. He's trying to use it as an actual spoon instead of a measuring instrument which it seems to do quite well. Having two flat things that can measure all of my ingredients instead of 6+ stacked spoons is very nice.
@@TheMuffin18 i can buy 10 sets of measuring spoons for the price of those and i'm sorry but a set of measuring spoons on a ring doesn't take up enough space to justify the price, it is fixing a problem that doesn't exist
FYI, the Polygon spoons were a Kickstarter that raised over a million dollars, and eight years later, still hasn't sent the item to backers. I gave up on getting mine long ago, but it's sad to see them selling and advertising the product now despite their poor business practices.
Agreed. Complete scam.
Yeap, they even asked for extra money a few years ago to expedite shipping and haven’t even posted an update in over a year. Absolute scam.
I actually received mine. I’m not sure how or why they sent some, but not all.
Never got mine.
I ordered three sets through the Kickstarter...one for my travel trailer where space is at a premium. Never received. But I do think they probably "Polygoned too far" and am not terribly sad the plastic wasn't actually wasted on me.
I have been a member of the Polygons Spoons Kickstarter since 2016 and it still has not been sent. I'm glad that I am not missing out on much from this review :D
Hi there! We understand that the wait amongst our backers has been a long one. Just to clarify - we have been fulfilling Kickstarter orders parallely to direct sales from our website. We started doing so in 2022 as due to rising manufacturing costs in the aftermath of the pandemic, it became untenable for us to fulfil orders without additional funding. Any profits we make from direct sales is redirected towards fulfilling Kickstarter orders. Towards acknowledging the same, we updated backers on Kickstarter back in an update on March 2022 and also have a section dedicated to the same on our website itself. We have completed around 11,000 Kickstarter orders till date, and are committed to completing the rest. Thank you.
@@PolygonsDesignstop lying and send the shit out to people who helped fund your dream. I'm backer number 4,073. You haven't sent out anything to any backers.
I'm backer #12,510 and haven't seen any spoons. If they really have sent out 11,000 orders (and they're sending them out in order) I expect I'll see mine about a decade after the Kickstarter was funded.
A friend got me some last Christmas after I told them about that travesty of a Kickstarter campaign. I can't give you a review because I have yet to use them. I put them in a drawer and forgot about them again.
Crazy to see the polygon spoons IRL. I backed them on Kickstarter EIGHT years ago and still haven't received them. Hmmm.
The Eiersollbruchstellenverursacher is meant to cleanly decapitate breakfast eggs, not uncooked ones.
The knife block is hilarious. I work where we sterilize ACTUAL SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS. Not one phase of our process involves tinsy little UV light bulbs. We most often use industrial "dishwasher" machines and autoclaves that get as hot as a ceramics kiln.
Our autoclave process also involves the use of UV-C sterilisation and is incredibly harmful to humans if you come in direct contact with it. That damn knife block has the possibility to hurt someone.... If it did use UV-C which of course it probably doesn't
I really didn’t like that gadget! Not only do I doubt the UV lamp in it is strong enough to actually sterilize, there’s also the points Ben brought up that if it doesn’t sterilize the entire utensil it’s pointless. But also there’s a chance people grow overly confident of the product and bypass a simple (more efficient) water+soap washing.
I have a similar problem with hand sanitizer. It’s a useful alternative if you don’t have access to running water and soap in the moment. But when you only use hand sanitizer, it might kill the microbes but they’re still left on your hands! What if it didn’t kill all of them? When you wash your hands with running water, they get rinsed away!
If you want to sterilize something, do it in addition to washing, not instead of.
UV bulbs only last a couple of months a pop too. I'm guessing this uses the new LED UV lights better used for sanitizing air in hospitals and office systems because those last longer but they're for sanitizing circulating air, not surfaces there is a difference in what is needed between those two things.
UV light in the right frequency does work, not sure about that product but there is products that uses UV after dishwashing instead of heat. Depends on what you want to sterilize. Ozon (iirc) chambers works as well. Most common is probably in pool filters
@@darcieclements4880 UV light in pool filters lasts for years
Holy crap. I backed polygons on Kickstarter 5 years ago and am still waiting for it to arrive. And you guys are some how reviewing it first!!

Yo, my polygon backed order was supposed to ship in 2017. Suck it up and ship out to your original backers .
@@PolygonsDesign back then you asked for additional money for prioritised shipping - I fell for that and paid 40$ extra for my 10 sets, still two years later I got nothing... Your argument that you need to make extra sales to be able to afford sending to backers doesn't really hold up in this case, does it?
@@HolgerRabbachthat argument doesn't hold up in any case. They claim it's about increased manufacturing costs post-pandemic, but the campaign was funded years before the pandemic was ever an issue. The average pledge was $27.73 per backer, but you know some people only backed one set. I think I backed three sets - still higher than the average. They keep claiming they've sent out to 11,000 backers, but are they sending them out in order of backer number, or sending them out to people who only wanted one set first to try and get more people off their back (as if they actually care)? If it's the latter you and I should see our spoons in another 7 or 8 years.
Ebbers has really changed. I remember him having to resist the urge to create a perfectly frosted cake for Barry's wedding, and now he's in favor of a rustic scratching
Wedding cakes are stressful, so the more you can do to keep it simple the better 😆😅
One is making a cake for one of your best friend's wedding. The other is making a cake just because. Bit of a difference.
“Rustic scratching” sounds like classic Bennuendo.
"rusting scratching" sounds like a pork product
the bride (barry's wife) wanted that rustic look.
he followed the brief despite his personal preference.
he hasn't changed ... circumstances did.
Ben needs to get himself a new set of measuring spoons: mine nestle together perfectly and sit nicely in my cutlery drawer.
Similarly confusing, Jamie sort of acted like he literally didn't understand the concept of using anything but like a silverware eating spoon? Maybe he can have Ben's hand me downs? Lol
I used to have a 4-in-one measuring spoon. The cups were silicone, tsp on one side, Tbsp on the other. If you needed a half tsp or Tbsp, you just flipped it over and pushed the cup in.
ive usually seen the eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher being used for boiled eggs
In the name of our Lord God, why does every German word cover the distance from Berlin to France and sound like an old weapon from 39-45?
Because many germanic languages allow what would be a noun phrase in English to be aglutenated into a single noun.
Think of it as five words that had the spaces between them removed because they collectively referred to a single object. The Delicious Big Moist Round Cut Cake becomes the Deliciousbigmoistroundcutcake
@@sytchnoth Flaggstångsknoppsförgyllningsmaskinrengöringsmedel.
Swedish for cleaning liquid used to clean a machin that gilds flagpole buds.
The word is "legal", but admittedly not really used that often.
That's easy for you to say.
@@blumoogle2901so a compound-word !
One thing I know is that.. This channel is never dull or boring..
It's always new stuff every week.. I love how you all EDUCATE us.. I go out with to a restaurant with confidence because I learn a lot from you guys so..
Bless up everytime
That’s so great to hear, thanks for watching 😁
Enjoyed this a lot. The price for cake frosting thing was ridiculous. Can achieve the same thing with scraper and turnable cake stand. Would like them to test the aero go coffee maker and more kitchen gadgets. Seeing their reactions make me laugh and smile. Thank u
I supported the Polygons kickstarter years and years ago. They ghosted me, never gave me the product and I am kind of grateful. They were intended to be a gift so them being a bit sh*t means I didn’t give someone that. Thanks for trying them! LOL

A lovely, cookie cutter response. The same one on every single comment regarding this.
@@missdire I've gotten this response two other times now. LOL. Twice in direct emails. Once was after I sent them my address for the third time. At this point I'm collecting these responses like infinity rings.
@lydiameeks6327 Ugh! How frustrating! Talk about zero effort or engagement. Just shows you what sort of "company" they are. I'm sorry you and so many others have had to deal with this BS.
I can see the tech bro on stage 'The spoon has stayed the same for thousands of years, So we looked to update it. Shows flashy presentation,
Now give me millions.'
My mom used to do that with eggs, then fill the shell with jello. She would arrange them on a plate (flat side down for stability) and decorate with green shredded coconut and whipped cream for Easter desserts. Holy cow, I haven’t thought of those in years! Thanks for the memory!
Sliced Bread on BBC Sounds did a whole episode on domestic UV sterilisers. Basically, it is very hard to prove they work and most don't.
Yeah most will never produce UV-C and the ones that do have zero protections in them and can cause severe damage to your health. There's a reason they're heavily controlled in healthcare and require a lot of power
Especially the cheap ones use purple leds instead of UV-c, so they are outright scam.
06:52
How did you guys miss that the egg topper is for dippy eggs and soldiers? That'd be the most common use, anyway. 😅
I'm with Jamie on the spoons. There's plenty of spoons that use a ring or magnets to stay organized and all in one place, or with multiple sets you can do what my mom has always done and keep them all together in a cup in a cupboard instead of flat in a cutlery drawer. And the vast majority of spoon sets are going to stack perfectly with at least themselves, so just don't buy the novelty ones that don't?
It's re-solving a problem that already had better, simpler solutions.
Yeah, I've been pretty happy with the prepworks spoons (got them 4 years ago, magnets to hold them in a neat group, round on one end and narrow on the other for spice jars and such.) Probably saw them recommended around when everyone was giving up on the polygons actually shipping, since they were three years late at that point...
They also scammed thousands of people of kickstarter who paid for these in 2016 and have never received anything.
I’ve been rewatching the old FridgeCam seasons & realized that there hasn’t been a Ben’s Candy Shop video in YEARS. I think a fun video idea would be to bring out the ol’ costume (if y’all still have it lol) & challenge Ben to make his own wholly original candy bar!
Wait, I’ve never heard of Ben’s Candy Shop before and now I’m really intrigued! I only found the channel after the collab video with Tom Scott showed up in my feed a year or two ago. I have watched a lot of the older videos, but haven’t found any candy shop ones yet… time to go treasure hunting 🕵️♀️
@@zoesnow8966 they’re so fun! They did maybe 4-6 of em back in the day!
@@dbest7 Just found one of them, and WOW! I really hope they bring these back sometime!!!
Oh they still have it!
Ben wore it in last year's summer live, IIRC!
@@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790oh that’s why I haven’t seen it😭I haven’t attended any of the lives
The Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher is meant to be used on soft boiled eggs, so you can then spoon out the innards through the convenient opening. Soft boiled eggs are a popular breakfast item, though most people just crack the shell with a spoon and then peel off the upper quarter or so, which can be messy. This gadget makes that easier and neater, though it's certainly not necessary.
It's odd because...we have that in England too....and I was wondering why they tried it on raw egg.
I don't use it for convinience or ease of use, I use it cause it's just fun to use ^^
They didn't test it so that could ragebait you halfwits into commenting about it, boosting engagement, Sorted aren't the dressing up, fun, passionate boys they used to be, they are a cold hard business now with high return videos and p2v events...
@@amberausten5423 You complain my comment drives up engagement, and yet here you are, commenting and thereby driving up engagement... If you don't like it, just leave, there's no need to spread your negativity in the comment section.
Heathen! You hack the top off with a knife so you can spoon out the top too!
(also after it's mandatory to turn the empty shell over and pretend you haven't eaten your egg yet, even though everyone at the table saw you did)
Wild to see those Polygon spoons on the market. I was a backer when they were on Kickstarter and they never sent me my spoons. I assumed they were dead on arrival.

How much more does it cost to send an update email in 2024 than it did eight years ago?
I just want my spoons, I ordered two ten packs (was hoping to sell them in my shop) eight years ago and am still waiting!
@@PolygonsDesign Nope you haven't..... Have seen no evidence of that at all.
Same here. Thousands of us never received them.
@PolygonsDesign Interesting you can reply the same thing to a bunch of RUclips comments but haven't managed an update on the Kickstarter in over a year.
2:41 Ben: "We will use the edges for something else" Jamie: so anyway I started eating 😂
snacking cake
Definitely "something else".
Mike's pronunciation of the German egg cracker cracked me up so badly I could've cosplayed as an egg 🥚😂
XDDD
I'd really have to plan my life around making a cake that's going to take up half my fridge for a day
We all would, cakes are hard! 😆
I believe the Polygons Spoon was a bit of a Kickstarter Scam where they started selling it before fulfilling all their Kickstarter preorders. 😧

The pandemic may have caused costs to rise, but you had four years before that even started to start shipping orders…
@@PolygonsDesign Backer 3125 here. Haven't heard word one from you about delivery. Your claim of 11,000 filled Kickstarter orders is an outright lie. And all you do is keep pasting the same comment over and over. Exactly what you have done in the Kickstarter comments section, for the last 20,400 comments from people asking the same thing: WHERE IS IT?
Woohoo... two kitchen gadget reviews in one week? one antique and one modern!
We hope that’s to your liking 😆
@@SortedFood Yes absolutely... Loving this...
@@SortedFood Gadget videos are my fave with the trying international foods following directly behind
They're low effort to make with high viewership and ad revenue, i get the cold hard business angle but i do miss the the passionate videos that they used to make :c
Learned a handy trick awhile back, if you need a specific measure of honey, put a bit of oil in the spoon or cup first and then add the honey. Super easy and comes out cleanly every time :)
I feel like the FrostForm, at that price, is okay if you're making a LOT of cakes. But also, if you're making a lot of cakes, it's probably easier to just get good at doing it the normal way.
Great points 😆
Exactly, and all the more reason when I first saw this thing, it just annoyed me. It also looks like it limits the kinds of frostings you can use on the cakes since they have to be thin enough to pour and some frostings are not going to have the same texture (and possibly taste) after they get cooled to firm up again.
It's a decent idea on paper, but overall awful in practice for anyone who would spend that much money to use it.
i know of a few like, small home cake businesses on instragram that use frostforms to speed up their process a bit (and they use thicker frostings as well, not just pourable ganache) but it definitely feels mostly excessive outside of that very niche use case
the egg tool is actually meant for soft boiled eggs because we eat those a lot here in Switzerland and I think surrounding countries too ;)
Yeah, that's how we use it in Germany, too
Dippy eggs and soldiers (soft boiled eggs with strips of toast) is a popular breakfast in the UK too, especially for children. However, we just use a spoon or a knife to remove the lid.
@hannahk1306 I also use a knife to crack it open since I don't like having all these extra single-use tools in my tiny kitchen ;) but I know people who have these and they are really cool!
They are used all over the world. Our neighbours, when we lived in Australia, had one but rarely used it. You can do the same with a knife.
@telebubba5527 yeah I use a knife too cause I don't like these single-use tools lying around but I have friends who have these and they are pretty cool ;)
That sterilising knife block is the worst gadget I’ve ever seen for a multitude of reasons.
1) As Ben said, as soon as you take it out, it’s immediately exposed to pathogens anyway.
2) Harmful pathogens that may be on your knife are washed away from the washing up process anyway, or when you actually cook the ingredients you cut with said knife.
3) The over sterilisation of some environments is actually more harmful for humans as your immune system is not exposed to as many pathogens, meaning you have a weaker immune system.
4) It’s another electrical gadget when in recent years, people are trying to reduce their electricity usage.
Finally, if the machine does take 45 minutes to work, absolutely no one is actually going to do that on a regular basis, rendering the entire machine completely pointless.
I only disagree, and very mildly at that, with your last point. If it actually worked, I could see washing your knives and putting them in the block to dry and sterilize as you left the kitchen for the night. Then it wouldn't matter how long it took as long as it was done by morning.
But since it's useless for its stated purpose, that doesn't matter. You're better off dunking your tools in a basin of sanitizer. My husband is immunocompromised and my family have all worked in kitchens, so that was the obvious choice for us when he started his treatment. And sanitizing tablets are dead cheap and easy to get, too.
That sterilizer is a straight up scam.
An aquarium UV sterilizer takes only seconds to kill pathogens in the water as is passes by in the filter hoses. Seconds. Wastewater plants have been using UV sterilizers for decades, been experimented with for over a century. They're used in laboratories to sterilize surfaces. You can find them in air purifiers, too. Those are a mercury vapor bulb. VERY effective.
They have been experimenting with UV LEDs with exposure times of 5 minutes in hospital settings with excellent results. Remember that: Hospital setting, 5 minutes.
There are baby bottle sterilizers on the market that use UV LEDs with an exposure time in as little as 3 minutes. They appear to be quite effective.
That stupid block appears to have one singular, regular-ass blue LED in it. It's not going to do anything at all other than give a blue glow and trick you into believing it's actually doing something in that 45 minute countdown. The interior of that block isn't even reflective so not everything will be exposed to the light and sterilization only occurs on surfaces lit by the light.
Products like these, which prey on people's germaphobia and ignorance of how sterilization actually works makes me so rationally angry.
@@ToniHinton I can see that being a part of a routine but perhaps I’m just lazy because I still wouldn’t even do that on a regular basis lmao. Hope you and your family are well.
@@ToniHinton yea i use a similar tool for my phone for years. but you put it in fully and overnight and acts as an wireless chargers aswell, if it would better as a cabinet style thing to put the whole knife in than it would make more sense
Absolutely agree - If people are totally obsessed with sterilisation then they should look to the medical profession and buy an autoclave. But, good hygiene is far better during service than sterilisation after. I cringe at the "no gloves" commits on YT and TT from viewers in the land of the maskless
As someone who works with sterilizing hospital equipment to use in surgery, can I just say about the knife block; DO ABSOLUTELY NOT BUY THAT !
Ben nails the point perfectly. It does NOT sterilize anything. Yes, UV-light can do that, but standing in a normal kitchen that is absolutely not sterile, and with the handles hanging outside of the UV-lights, what the knife block claims to do is a false promise.
And because it's a false promise, it provides a false sense of security. So the user will act like it has worked, when it hasn't. And THAT makes it a dangerous gadget to use.
Please make a point to that, Sorted. I love all the different types of gadgets on this channel, and I use some of them after having seen them on here, but I honestly don't think that knife block should have a spot.
Great episode regardless, and sorry for the burst :)
RUclips is full of content farms that put out videos that are really dangerous, see 5MC as a key example. I wish they would arrest some of these people. I like that Ben pointed out how stupid the gadget is to anyone watching. You would think it would be common sense but sadly, our education systems today do not teach people common sense.
As someone who's been trained to do laboratory work I can second this.
Not all UV light sterilizes. Only UV-C light sterilizes.
I also wanted to comment on that as someone that worked in microbiology labs.
I've got to ask, is this not a knife block that essentially just dries and sterilises itself, not the knife?
I've always preferred a magnetic rack as it's a pain to clean and dry a knife block.
My measuring spoons have a rack that hangs on the wall, always conveniently handy, always organized. I agree with Jaime, I think this is trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.
Lot of people complaining about the egg cracker being used on a raw instead of a boiled egg, but they're missing an important detail: they're using it incorrectly, in a worst-case scenario, and it still performed the job perfectly well. The Germans should sell them in Mexico to make confetti eggs, which I just learned aren't really a thing outside of Mexico.
First I've heard of confetti eggs, so I had to look them up. That seems like a really fun activity for the kids!
I love the way Ben pounces on a new gadget like, "I want to plumb your depths, show me whatcha got!"
"like"?
Told dad y’all have a new video out and he was all smiles . Thank you guys for your silly selves and giving my dad an I lots of laughs. He says hi by the way and hopes you all have a lovely day.
Hi! Enjoy the vid and thanks for watching 😄🙋♂️
I considered buying the adjustable spoons. It looks like you saved me some money. Well done.
Glad to help 😁
Eiersollbruchstellenverursacher is usually for medium boiled eggs. Where the peeling of the egg presents a considerable risk of tearing of destroying it. This way you can remove the top and use a spoon to eat the soft inside, whereas 'soft' should only referr to the yellow and not the white. Preferably with some Maggi, the soy sauce of Germany. 😂
As a breakfast chef, I used a spring loaded egg topper for serving boiled eggs. It made for great presentation, and easier pealing if that's what people wanted to do. I used it 15-20 times per service. Definitely worth the purchase for me.
been waiting for my polygon spoons from their kickstarter for about 10 years now :D

Towards acknowledging the same, we updated backers on Kickstarter back in an update on March 2022 and also have a section dedicated to the same on our website itself. We have completed around 11,000 Kickstarter orders till date, and are committed to completing the rest. Thank you.
One of the best Ebbers lines of all time and it get crowded out:
Jaimie: "I can follow a reciple and I can bake it. What I cannot do any better than a four-year is - "
Ebbers: "Waiting."

The egg topper also works on boiled eggs, I use one instead of my old egg scissors as it gives neater presentation & the diameter removed is perfect for toast soldiers! 🥚
The egg cracker device. You can use those shells for planting. Fill with soil and plant small seeds. When they sprout. Put in a planter and use the shell as food for the plants
great idea :-O
jay being so offended by the teapoon/tablespoon 😂😂😂
Mike: I'm not saying that's good or bad, but that's the concept they're going for here. So now do you get it?
Jamie: I _understand_ it!
Awesome.
In some of the hospitals I’ve worked at we use machines that pulse extremely powerful UV light in our patient rooms after they leave to sterilize the entire room. However as pointed out the handles aren’t being sterilized. Simple soap and water does the job just as well in this application and is cheaper, easier, quicker, and more thorough.
Yeah there's no way the light in that thing is as potent as a medical grade one or even comparable to the ones used in ventilation systems of office buildings.
@@darcieclements4880It indeed isn't. If it even is UV-C. The light they showed was like those near UV LEDs that don't sterilize.
Also, you don't want to stand over such a light to record it. It's unhealthy.
You guys need to do a video on which (if any) of the gadgets you have found through these videos over the years that you still use.
And whose personal kitchens they have all migrated into…
@@linguisticstudy Lol yes, this exactly!
13:11 I can't not think about how Ebbers reminds me here of David Mitchell in the way he vocalizes his complains about this device :D So funny
I'd love for you to test out a "remoska" one day! It's a Czech invention and it is essentially a portable pot/oven heated from the top lid. It dates back to the 50's and apparently it gets exported to the UK too!
just a little thank you from ny. spent yesterday morning w/my mom in the er then the afternoon getting her settled back home so starting today watching y’all’s shenanigans was a much needed reset!
Would love to see more of Kush reviewing gadgets. I think we got one video a while back, but that's it. It's always Ben or (far too rarely) a visiting James.
UV-C kills most microorganisms. Those that it doesn’t kill, are probably incapable of surviving in a human. Best knife sterilization I have ever seen was an old Danish Chef, who had a dedicated deep fat fryer to put knifes into. After a few minutes you took them out and wiped them down with brown paper. His knives had handles which started as walnut, but looked like ebony.
On the knife block. It's not really designed to be a replacement for washing. The idea is that you would wash your knives and board, place them in the block, and turn it on so that next time you have a clean and dry board. This is more useful on the board then anything else as wooden and plastic boards both tend to carry bacteria in scratches and grooves that are not removed by routine cleaning. On the other hand chefs have been using wooden cutting boards for years expressly because most woods contain natural oils that kill bacteria. If anything is contributing to killing bacteria the most it's the 70 degree C air. Dry air at this temp for more than 30 mins will result in pasteurization.
Ultraviolet light is a very large spectrum. In fact it covers a spectrum many many times larger than the visible spectrum. At the very low end we have UV-A which we cannot detect directly, but we can see when certain items react to the high energy light (black light). UV-B is the light that penetrates into our skin and helps produce Vitamin D3, but it's also powerful enough to cause sunburns and eventually cancer. UV-C is the most intense UV radiation before heading into X-ray territory. UV-C contains enough energy to start to penetrate into organics and can damage DNA and RNA. Which will impact Viruses, Bacteria, and anything else living. UV-C can quickly cause extreme sunburn and is commonly seen in ArcFlash that welders experience. Just like with bacteria it damages most living things it touches, especially cells that are not adapted specifically with things to block UV light.
The UV-C lamps in a lot of gadgets operate at the very lowest end of UV-C and usually do not carry too much power. Bacteria are very sensitive to UV and so it does help kill some, but in these low power LED emitters its relatively short range (a few inches at most) and generally show only a small increase in overall impact. Hospitals and medical equipment manufacturers use significantly more powerful UV-C systems for complete sterilization (units that consume 1000-3000 Watts to sterilize equipment in a 30-60 min of exposure). So it does something, but a second wash scrubbing with vinegar or baking soda and a good drying is much more effective trhan these UV-C led lamps.
I thought I was a cynical and sarcastic chef but Ebbers is up there with the best 😂
He sure is 😆
@@SortedFood 🤣🤣
Afaik blacklight UV and sterilizing UV are at quite a different frequency. One of the two you really don't want to exposed to for too long. Kinda interesting that you can just see the lights at the bottom of that block.
Yup, UV-A, B and C. UV-A is the lowest energy and the one you see in black lights. UV-B and C are used in sterilization but are dangerous because while yes they will kill bacteria on their own they will also cause burns and cause oxidation and produce Ozone which will destroy pretty much anything is comes in contact with. Hospitals use them to sterilize rooms but they have to be ventilated to avoid causing lung damage.
So either this is just a bunch of BS marketing or a very dangerous item.
Reminds me of the use of UV light in water purifying systems. They work faster, though, don't they?
@@markgaudry7549 They do, sort of. They destroy most bacteria purely through UV since most bacteria can be destroyed by it but it also works through the fact that UV-B and UV-C also produce Ozone (O3) which is a highly unstable version of oxygen which destroys almost everything it comes incontact with by rapidly oxidizing it. So any biological matter is destroyed... Plus non biological stuff so it would be ruining any wood cutting board or even plastic ones.
@@SilvaDreams Thank you.
0:06 Ebbers. That seagull killed me guys😂😂😂😂😂
Thought it said ebbers 😂😂
@@pthk2874 it absolutely said Ebbers lol
A year ago i bought a set of magnetic stainless steel measuring spoons. They are fantastic. A simple idea. They fit inside each other and stay put as they are magnetic but are easy to pull apart.
You guys are killing me! The Klacker is for soft or hard boiled eggs. Please please please revisit the Klacker to show its proper use! Go Jamie!
I just finished an old kitchen gadgets and was blessed with a new one!
Love it when that happens 😆
1:43 (Flashbacks to the video where Ben makes Barry and Hayley’s wedding cake)
After stealing clementines from the packed lunch of the florist, he was tempted to ‘perfect’ the cake but he stuck to the brief as per Pinterest requirements.
I am glad I saved this for my after dinner binge!! Awesome, thanks
Can you imagine: hot coffee, toast and a perfectly boiled egg being opened with your eierschalenöffnergeratdinges... What a way to start your Sunday morning!
The egg cracker is for cooked eggs btw. Put it in an egg holder, crack it, and you can start eating without having to peel the egg.
If Spaff takes it home to make Evie's b' day cake...WE NEED AN EPISODE!
Jamie's face when explaining why he'd take the egg cracker was freaking great. This episode was tops lol.
I have no need for that egg cutter but it looks very fun to play with 😝
Very fun 🥚
4:30 EIERSCHALENSOLLBRUCHSTELLENVERURSACHER is truly peak german engineering. However, it's mostly used for boiled eggs at the breakfast table, and not raw ones. That usage is left for very advanced chef kinds
I really enjoy the gadget review episodes.
Mike out here looking like the coolest kid on the playground with that hair.
the Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher is usually used to crack cooked eggs with a soft yolk so you can spoon it out easily and don't make a mess!
Mike tried with that pronounciation! keyword is tried
So intrigued by the UV gadget, but also completely agree about the feedback y’all had about it.
It's an interesting idea... But realistically pointless. Properly washing your knifes is more than enough. Plus UV light strong enough to kill off bacteria is going to produce Ozone and will destroy your cutting board if it is plastic or wood because it will break down the material it is made out of by oxidizing it.
Given the fan in it I can only assume you’re meant to wash the knives first and place them in it for further sanitizing and drying which would render Ben’s complaints about the handle kinda moot. Also UV light is well studied for its ability to deactivate bacteria so their skepticism about it is unnecessary. Between this and the egg cracker they really should have done the bare minimum amount of research for this episode.
That said that’s an absurd price for that UV knife block and ultimately its purpose is kind of redundant with proper washing.
@@corybartell9441 Lots of these devices don't have real UV-C bulbs and if they do, they should not be so easily seen as they are dangerous to the eyes.
@@corybartell9441UV-C is well documented for it's denaturing ability and is used for this process..... In healthcare and is heavily, heavily controlled because it's harmful to human health. This knife block would not pass any checks and most likely does not produce UV-C wavelengths as it would need to be shielded at the very least to avoid damaging the eyes. It's 100% just a scam
@@corybartell9441 to re-enforce what you have said above if it does work at all it will be using UV-C light which is the germ killing stuff used in air conditioning and sanitising and not UV-B which either tans you or gives you skin cancer when sun bathing or UV-A which is what is in blacklights. Not all UV stuff is the same and UV-C is really nasty and needs to be in a box if not then and at a minimum you want eye protection for it but limit exposure anyway.
I suspect the 45 min time is for slowly drying the knives not the UV part.
Love this series! Thanks For this Guys 😊
Thanks for using the phrase "I can follow a recipe".
I often say that if you can read then you can cook, as you can follow a recipe, and people keep saying I'm wrong.
I’m here promptly today, waiting for the video to release. But I don’t think you understand how many Sorted videos I watch…the voice in my head has a British accent, I am from America…I use words like tin and rocket instead of can and arugula, I get confused when people say the word ‘jelly’ because I can’t work out what they’re talking about, and I wouldn’t change it for the world! Thank you for being a near constant in my life for the last 13+ years, I look forward to watching for many more!!
Wow, never would have seen any of these coming. Really pog video as usual!
The egg thing is for boiled eggs... You know, like German people eat for breakfast? You completely got this one wrong, lol.
Feels criminal that they haven't tried it out with soft boiled eggs
German people? Everyone eats them.
I mean.. it still works well on raw eggs :p
Ben: "That don't stack together."
Me: "... What kind of measuring spoons does Ben have...?"
There've been plenty of comments saying that an Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher is actually used for soft boiled eggs.
But I have to say that I am fascinated by the way you guys used it in this video. I mean... It worked pretty good. And it looked great using the egg shell as a type of serving vessel.
Seriously! British cooks and chefs did not see it 😂 I am here in Canada andT the whole time they were testing second gadget for taking the top off of the egg I instantly thought that is for soft boiled eggs and tosted soilders. And was really hoping for once somebody would actually use it for such BUT NO 😅 Not even popular here, but know it is there lol Even the desert picture they showed was a take on it and still I can't even get a British cooking show to use it right 😂❤
0:38 i always have a ton of fun with your videos Mike! No worries over here😂😂😂
At 10 quid, the egg cracker is a perfect gift for a home chef.
How to summon the German internet 101: misuse an egg opener.
You guys need to open a museum with all the gadgets you have!
"museum"??? Carnival sideshow more like.
They have asked if some food museum wants some gadets to contact them. LOL, they're gonna have to rent out another floor and totally have a 'gadgets through history' museum
Absolutely not there's a lawnmower museum, barometer world and the pencil museum so definitely possible.
You're a natural on camera, keep shining!
I have a spring loaded egg opener, similar to the one showed. I use it primarily to open raw eggs as I tend to mess it up otherwise, or break the yolk, etc. These work REALLY well with boiled eggs as well, to make opening those a lot easier and give a clean edge for you to dig into the egg with your spoon!
The amount of personal pride I felt when I instantly knew gadget 2 was for an egg, and was correct.
2 gadgets videos on one week?! One antique and one modern?! Best week! Thanks For this Guys! Hearth please ❤❤❤❤❤
They used the Frost Form wrong. You're supposed to chill it until it's hard. Then, you need to pipe the ganache into the form so it goes all the way down. Then, after chilling again, you flip the cake over, and the bottom becomes the top.
Was that in the directions? They seemed to be reading and following them directly. Just because there is a way to make it work, doesn't mean that it actually works as intended.
@@1000PaperBunnies I don't know if it's in the printed directions, but it's on their website.
"my gravity was stronger than your gravity" lmao
That egg opener was crackin'!
You're a star, keep shining bright!
1:31 HAHAHA wow not even 2 minutes in and we have a SCORCHER 🔥
Saw the Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher and was immediately excited for Mike to try and actually name that thing.
An episode about those little gadgets that are surprisingly useful. When I moved into my place ever so long ago, the kitchen drawer came with a olive or pickle picker thingie. I thought, how useless. Turns out, that picker gadget has been indispensable.
