Hey Rachael,
my name's Marissa from New York City,
and today I have a really sharp
(laughing) double duty tip for you.
Sometimes my knives get dull
when I'm cutting up fruits, veggies, and meats,
and typically I get my knives sharpened,
but sometimes I actually use the back of a plate
to get them sharp again when I need a quick fix.
See this ridge where the plate would sit on the table?
This is actually what you're gonna use.
You're gonna grab your knife
and you're gonna hold it at a 20 degree angle
and you're gonna swipe on both sides like this.
(knife screeching)
You don't wanna do this all the time
because it can wear and tear on your knives,
but if you're in a bind,
definitely try out this tip.
And then you're gonna rinse off your knife
to get off any residue.
And just like that,
your knife will be ready to slice and dice.
(audience applause)
It's like a sharpening show,
very clever.
So we love when our viewers
are literally a part of our content.
We have two more double duty tips
from two of our viewers.
My God, this whole show is like a tongue twister.
(laughing)
That was Marissa, she was amazing,
and now I'm here with Beverley and Tina!
(audience applause)
Beverley has a double duty kitchen tip,
but that was a really good one about the,
using the back of the plate--
Excellent. as a sharpening stone, right?
Very.
Very cool one.
What do you got, show off?
What are you gonna do?
So Rachael,
today I'm gonna show you
how to make fresh whipped cream
with a French press.
A French press
pot
of whipped cream,
hmmm,
that sounds good.
(laughing)
Alright, I didn't mean to
get in the middle of your drive there,
so you tell us how you're gonna roll with the whipped cream.
So rather than doing all the whipping
that you have to do to make the whipped cream--
You do realize it doesn't take
an enormous amount of effort,
a whisk and a bowl is how you make whipped cream.
Honestly it works,
you don't need an electric mixer,
trust me.
I don't cook a lot,
but that might be why.
But this is easier.
Yeah, this is easy.
You're saying this takes less energy
and I believe you.
A lot less time and a lot more fun.
A lot more fun.
So--
Anything sounds more fun when you say it though,
you have such a cute little accent.
I know!
(audience laughing)
Okay.
So you put in a cup of cream.
Cup of whipping cream, yep.
Cup of whipping cream,
little bit of sugar,
or a lot of sugar.
Okay, she likes it sweet.
We like sugar in the south.
And then a little bit of vanilla.
Delicious.
And then you press away.
And next thing you know.
It aerates it super quickly.
It's a lot easier
than doing all the whipping I said,
but maybe not.
Okay, so here we go.
You press the whipped cream,
next thing you know you got fresh whipped cream.
Or you make your children do it.
(laughing)
I'll keep doing this one,
you show them that one.
Okay, so there you go,
there's fresh whipped cream.
Yum.
(cheering and clapping)
Hot off the press this morning.
Hot off the press,
cold whipped cream.
(cheering and clapping)
You're cute as a button.
Thank you.
Alright, I don't know what Tina is going to tell you
about kiwis that we don't know,
but I will say I know her inspiration for her outfit.
(laughing)
That's very cute you match your fruit.
What are you gonna tell us about kiwis?
Okay, so Rachael,
I'm a busy busy busy person.
I have two small children,
I have a full-time job,
and I usually spend my Sundays meal prepping
for the beginning of the week.
I would spend mine with my eyes closed.
(laughing) But go ahead.
And so I have these beaters always sitting on my counter
and I always wonder how could I save some time
getting their fruit ready for the week?
So I'm gonna show you.
Without peeling and making a mess,
Right.
I take the beater,
stick it right in here--
Shut up.
and then I just give it a turn.
That is adorable
There you go.
And you got kiwi!
(clapping)
Well done.
(cheering and clapping)
