I have a whole arrangement of these at home (they were on sale once). I have cute santa ones and everything. They have never really failed me. And they are cute
@@septembercowley4822 The recipe is the main factor, because many cookie recipes have some melt while cooking and that melt would ruin any detail work. But given the right recipe, I'm sure your suggestions would be a help for manipulating before cooked.
Well, there was a time that they don't let him eat during filming. And some fans pointed that out, because there's some moments that he really wants to nibble on and holds himself back because that's not part of the review. So now, they just let him eat whenever he wants. It boosted the views and interactions a little after that.
I mean depending on the material it can affect taste so it’s understandable Like how canned drinks nave a slight metallic taste Also the pens need to ensure the “ink” doesn’t ruin the taste as that will definitely affect his rating
I am a professional cake decorator. I use plunge cutter to create fondant shapes for my cakes. They wash up easily in soapy water. I think cookie dough would also dissolve off of them easily. The writing pen is just a gimmick. It's easy to learn to control a piping bag and it gives superior results. Food color pens get 5/5 from me. They are not for everything but for specific jobs, your option would be a paint brush and liquid food color. Personally, I use an apple corer on my cup cakes.
Baker here. I use those cookie cutters for actual cookies, and I have to say, dissolving of cookie dough in soapy water HIGHLY depends on the recipe. However, I've also found coating a bit of flour before cutting the shape out helps the dough not stick. I'm a huge fan of those decorating pens too, especially since I'm not great at decorating. Any time someone asks me to pipe out "happy birthday", I use a pen. 😂
I own the corer and use it a lot. I core all the cupcakes at the same time and put the "corks" in a bowl, then fill all the cupcakes and last put the corks back in (with my fingers - I don't put them back into the corer). Unlike a paring knife you can't go too deep, and you get really consistent results. Also you can take just the crust part of the "cork" if you have put more filling. Jam, pudding, and pie filling work really well to fill cupcakes. Yellow cake, vanilla pudding in the middle, and chocolate frosting makes a Boston cream pie cup cake. The plunger can be popped out for washing.
I think that silicone cake shaper can be good but not really for different shapes, more like just having the flexibility to make difference sizes without having to keep multiple cake pans on hand.
And no one is talking about putting weights next to each side to hold the shape!! Could easily fix that issue of the cake batter filling it out and turning it back into a circle.
I think the icing pen was designed for using thinner icing like royal icing instead of the thicker buttercream (?) used in the video. Would be interested to see how the icing type affects the performance.
Not too mention, that bag was so incredibly overfilled. I'm sure it would be a lot easier to use if you didn't have to apply so much pressure. Was he planning on writing a novel on top of that cake??
@@alexmcconnell101 seriously! Also if he was using royal icing (which is ideal for fine detail like writing) he would need much less volume anyways. Maybe the flaw in the product was that it didn’t specify how to best use it?
@@Sarah-ic4yu For icing pens there are these syringe looking things that have a pusher on top or on the size which dont have any bags. Those are better working than this pen thing.
@@alexmcconnell101 The thing is if its not filled enough you're not going to be able to generate enough pressure to force the frosting through that small of a nozzle so yuo kind of need to stuff it for it to work properly.
I think it was intended for icing, which is more or less fluid but always soft and what they used in the video seems to be ganache in my opinion, which is way way more dense.
Love the shot of Dan licking the pen and leaving black streaks on his tongue. Also yes, the crew appreciates food. Bit disappointing the frosting pen didn't work better, most people I feel would like something easier than an icing bag.
As someone who regularly uses their mouth as a third hand, seeing Dan use them in a "kitchen setting" was quite upsetting for me. That's two health code violations: one for using his tongue to smooth the tip and one for putting his mouth on the cap. Leave the Mouth-Hand for non-sanitary work. (Like playing with Lego.)
@@jackielinde7568 that is my "nice". The first part isn't applicable to me, and the second is unnecessary criticism that serves no one. Overall the internet would be better if it wasn't made or at least wasn't directed at me, who can do nothing about Dan's tongue.
That would be a lot hard to control. What if you have fully squeezed and hit bottom mid letter? Then you have to stop and start again which would be noticable. His bag was just incredibly overfilled. Like, writing a message on a cake uses like 3 or 4 tablespoons max of frosting
I think that whatever was used in the video for "icing" seems very dense and actually more like ganache. Icing is way softer than ganache so this might have been the problem.
THIS! This is EXACTLY my point. I have pens just like that for drawing that I would NEVER use on cookies. (Supposedly some of them are non-toxic, but I wouldn't put that to the test.)
@@TheAfker no, it would be to help stop children thinking all pens are for food decorating. especially young kids who might not understand "we only use the pens in THIS cup for cookies" because I could see some of my little cousins thinking that putting a regular pen in the special cup makes them magically cookie pens.
The pens are good for details too small for a bag. I did little fondant pumpkins (about the diameter of a quarter) and used a black food coloring pen to draw on the jack-o-lantern faces.
The icing pen and the cupcake corer I would definitely buy. The corer because I’m not very good with a knife when it comes to coring cupcakes. I think it would give you a consistent core!
I'm a professional baker and I use the bottom of a metal piping tip to core my cupcakes! I have a little metal corer too, but I don't think it works that much better than the piping tips, and it's easier to just use them since they're already out on my workspace anyways.
..... I mean I really appreciate my cupcake corers. They greatly simplify the process of filling cupcakes and make for much more [easily achieved] uniformity. Perhaps you don't often fill your cupcakes, but I almost always do. The extra part of cake makes it easier to ice, and keeps the filling and icing separate (maintains texture layers). Mine are made of metal and silicone, but function almost just like these ones. My peanut butter cupcakes with chocolate filling and mallow icing will never forgive this slander!
@@Divig I believe I said mine are made of metal. Regardless, cupcake corers also come with an added feature that wasn't mentioned in the video: that little lip that prevents you from going too far. That lip is made to measure for an average cupcake depth, and, as I mentioned prior, ensures uniformity. Also, an apple corer is thinner iirc. The core of an apple is not as wide as the middle of a cupcake. Maybe yall have wider, more wasteful apple corers than I do. Idk. I don't often core apples. I think the important part here, and a lesson learned, is that the value of a kitchen gadget isn't arbitrarily decided by some internet man. Lol. It rubbed me the wrong way as soon as he said it, considering he obviously doesn't make cupcakes on the regular - and probably never for people who care that they are uniform.
@@grimmalkinn I don't often (more like never) core cupcakes, so you probably have a point about the size. I just think it is wasteful to have multiple items that does more or less the same thing. But if one does not core apples one probably does not already have an apple corer.
@@Divig similarity doesn't necessarily mean interchangeability. Your point about my lack of apple corer is also a great point: why would I purchase an apple corer to core my cupcakes when I could just buy a cupcake corer that was made to do the job haha. I hadn't even thought about that.
I have the cake shapers, and I pretty much swear by them! XD But I've only ever used them for round cakes, so the reason why I prefer them over cake tins is space: Both storing and cleaning them, they are a lot smaller than a cake tin, and therefore they are easier to clean by hand, and take up less space in the washing machine and the cupboard.. ^^ But other than that, yeah, I've seen other people test them, and they suck at making shapes! XD
I would love to see dual-sided food coloring pens, with one side thicker like a highlighter and the other side with a fine tip. Design the caps so that either one can be attached to the opposite side of the pen, so no lost caps. I would also love to see a review of Bento gadgets some point in the future. I know he reviewed an egg mold in the past, but that one only became a square. They have ones that can "supposedly" leave you with an egg shaped like a bear or bunny. Also the sandwich presses, vegetable cutters, and rice molds are all interesting. I've used bento related products in the past and know that some of them work amazingly well, but some definitely do not. But if you do ever review a rice mold, make sure you use short-grain rice. Otherwise it won't be the molds fault if the rice doesn't keep shape. Won't lie, I originally opened the video hoping there may be some bento-ish products. Luckily, I also love desserts.
For that cupcake corer... the knife hole in the test was a bit more mangled and the knife would be much easier to mess up (cutting too deep, for example) Putting it at a 1/5 for buying is way too harsh. I'd go for 3/5 - if you really like making muffins and cupcakes and like them filled, then it'll see plenty of use and will be more convenient than the knife. Also, I can imagine it being useful for other fringe cases.
I already know from experience those pens will be awful. Can't wait to see Dan savagely berate them. Edit: damn okay, they've improved since I last brought them.
It's hard to know. I saw one video of Dan testing kickstarter gadgets where one of the device designers commented to thank him for the great redesign suggestions.
i think the shape-able pan would have worked better if Dan connected both "points" on the heart at angles. the top point was just joined as a line and it didn't hold the shape because of that. Probably still a crappy product, just not *as* crappy.
I don't think I like the decorating pens for one simple reason: THEY LOOK LIKE THE MARKERS I HAVE AT MY DRAWING STATION! Way too easy for a child to confuse the two types of pens and color on food with the non-edible ink. As for a redesign, I would make the pen shafts triangular, so they fit better in the hand, with a slight concave arc along the length of the pen. This would make it easier to hold, and having the body flair at the ends a little would provide something to push back to keep them from sliding much.
The cake shaper maybe would work if you used something weighted on the sides? Obviously too much effort but maybe like holding it in place somehow could make it a little better
Hello, I enjoy the videos very much. I am curious as to what Dan studied, and how he got to be a kitchen gadget designer. Could you mention something about it? Thanks
Thank you thank you thank you for starting to call out the plastic insanity. I love your videos and it's so good to see things from a perspective that takes into account renewables, pollution, waste etc.
I love your videos are great, but please remember us lefties! Things can be designed for both. Usually though, it never is. The rare times they make a left handed version, it cost 5 times more money. Remember us!
Surely it would be more informative to compare the process for the cake shaper to the process of making an aluminum foil mold. Nobody who already has a metsl cake pan in the shape they want would bother with a tool like that
It seems the cake shaper might hold the heart shape if you connect the top-of-the-heart pieces the same way you did the bottom. instead of relying on the curve to hold, the top pieces need to snap into each other creating a point.
I think the animal cookie cutter spring should be pressed after taking out the dough base. This way it would be easier taking the shaped cookie out than taking cookie out from a whole dough base.
Use the cheez-doodler, but with icing, instead of the icing pen. It'll thin out the icing with heat, and give you more control with the trigger action instead of just squeezing
It would have been fun if Dan baked a big sheet of cookie with icing, and then used the Edible Ink Markers to draw his redesign ideas on it. Then eat it.
no, the left handed test isn't only for check leftie-ness, its also his non-dominate hand and the real point of the oil+leftie test is to see if someone with arthritis-weak grip - maybe a missing point digit so they don't fully clasp/exert pressure in the optimal way can use the devices easily. In this video he didn't repeat it thoroughly but in most videos from this series he re-explains that every time.
The pens are also more value for cooking with kids. You make some cookies and ice them then the kids can do their own designs without the mess of a kid using a piping bag.
I'm boggled at the degree of detail the push cookie cutters achieved. Totally didn't expect those details to make it through the baking process.
just depends on the recipe for the cookie dough
@@mcbutter9 i thought that too. Would like to know which recipe they used
I have a whole arrangement of these at home (they were on sale once). I have cute santa ones and everything. They have never really failed me. And they are cute
I own some. they are great!
@@septembercowley4822 The recipe is the main factor, because many cookie recipes have some melt while cooking and that melt would ruin any detail work.

I love that everything required a taste test - even when it really didn't affect taste XD
Come on. It's cake and cookies. Of course it's going to require a taste test even though the products don't (hopefully) affect taste.
Well, there was a time that they don't let him eat during filming.

The icing pen should have a design that is completely different from a regular pen so that children can distinguish them.
Was totally thinking the same thing!
THIS! This is EXACTLY my point. I have pens just like that for drawing that I would NEVER use on cookies. (Supposedly some of them are non-toxic, but I wouldn't put that to the test.)

Dan the Man, we're all a fan!
One thing I'd like is to know how much he paid for the gadgets.. or the MSRP on them.
Gotta love when he takes every single opportunity to taste or eat something in front of him. 👌😆
You know youve been watching for awhile when he used to say numbers before 40 🤣
Yeah, I wonder why he stopped. It just seems so natural at this point to say the specific number of years he's been in the business.

You can't on the top side. To get a point you have to have overlap, which would have to go into the mix on the top side. So it wouldn't be an option.

I was so sure he was going to write “sh*t” with the icing pen

It seems the cake shaper might hold the heart shape if you connect the top-of-the-heart pieces the same way you did the bottom. instead of relying on the curve to hold, the top pieces need to snap into each other creating a point.
DAN IS THE BEST
Cupcake corer is a must for me. It is way easier and faster, when you need to core a lot of cupcakes
At this point I'd recommend any of the gadgets if they actually do what they say they're gonna do
I think the animal cookie cutter spring should be pressed after taking out the dough base. This way it would be easier taking the shaped cookie out than taking cookie out from a whole dough base.
Use the cheez-doodler, but with icing, instead of the icing pen. It'll thin out the icing with heat, and give you more control with the trigger action instead of just squeezing
Your meant to put the cake shaper inside bigger cake pan not just on the oven tray
So holds shape better
Wouldn't still be the same problem of it spreading though?
I hope this series never ends ❤
ngl I was sad when I didn't get to actually hear Dan say "I like it, Picasso!"

You know, if you have a circle and a square cake pan, you can make a heart cake.
