Sepi, push!
I'm pushing!
Hi! I'm Sepi.
I'm Adli. And welcome to another episode of TSL Reviews!
And in this episode, we're gonna be reviewing interesting kitchen gadgets.
Do you like to cook?
How about me?
Well, I feel like in Singapore right, I hardly cook.
Because the food, one, is so cheap and two, so tasty.
I love baking but if I had to, I love my stir-fry food.
I mean like it's easy, it's delicious and it's very idiot-proof.
So, our producers got us some interesting kitchen gadgets for us to try. So, let's review them now!
So, we got this corn stripper from Qoo10 for $3.99.
And apparently, it strips the corn within a minute.
Okay, so we got our corn over here. It smells so sweet. Do you wanna smell it?
And what you're supposed to do right,
is that you have to take this corn grater and then you just grate it down like that.
Yeah, and then you got to empty the corn through the gap.
So, this hole is not for you to slice it because it's never gonna fit.
So, it's like you just pour the corn kernels out.
That's quite clever, actually!
Go for it! Go for it!
No! Oh no! Oh my gosh.
I think you have to have like...
constant amount of strength throughout your push.
See!
Once you get the hang of it, it's like quite smooth, right?
Yeah, yeah okay.
Not bad.
But what I like right,
because I find when you're eating corn-on-the-cob,
you always get like - if you bite right at the base, you get all the stringy bits
and I hate taking the stringy bits out my teeth
So for me, this is like kind of beneficial in that way.
So, over 5, what would you rate it?
I think I'd give it at least a 4.
I really think it's actually quite decent.
I think I would rate it like a 3.5 out of 5.
Because like honestly speaking right,
I find that this is much more easier to use in comparison to a knife where you have to like angle a certain way.
This one you just zoop!
Yeah
So, let's move on to our next gadget.
Let's go!
Oh my God!
What's this?
This looks like a race car. Looks like an F1.
I've always wanted to try one of these!
So, this is a twirling spaghetti fork and we got it off eBay for $12.99.
The function of this is that it's supposed to twirl your pasta and it removes the action of you twirling your pasta using a fork.
So this, I assume
this mechanism over here would rotate
and then, it twirl the pasta for you.
I'm so excited to see if it actually goes like
Yeah, okay!
Or is it just like
Okay so it says here right that there is a motorised metal pronged end.
So like if you can see the ends of this right,
Oh yeah!
It actually looks like a prong.
Kind of like a little hook.
Yeah, like a little hook.
So, your spaghetti doesn't fall off your fork easily.
It's kind of like a fishing hook.
You're like going in for the spaghetti like
Oh, that is so interesting.
and you're wheeling it back in.
So, our producer cooked us a lovely plate of spaghetti.
Oh my God!
Look! It looks so funny.
Like it's so amusing to see this.
It's like I think what you're supposed to is like you
Ooo, it's doing something!
Oh my God!
Using this right, I think it doesn't know when you want to stop.
So, you just end up like twirling everything everywhere.
And if -
I think after a few twirls, it just ends up twirling, falls off. Twirling, falls off.
I feel like we should try it with a normal fork as well.
It's very hit and miss.
But look, I've got about 70% more spaghetti than he did.
Yeah, I really think that twirling manually is much more efficient.
After using it, I think I have to give it like a 1.5.
I mean, I love the packaging and branding like it really makes it more exciting.
But when it actually comes to using it, for me, the twirling, just wasn't fast enough.
And I feel like the grip with the spaghetti, it really just....
was quite...
half-hearted.
I'll rate this a 1 also because right, I think it's just a very fun thing to have.
Like it's a novelty item.
So, let's move on to our next gadget!
What's this fancy thing?
This is the Egg Master and it's from eBay and it's $19.95.
It looks quite cool and it seems to automatically like cook your eggs.
It looks so neat!
All the images on the side as well. Look! There are some examples here.
Oh yeah!
Where people have done different varieties with the egg.
This looks so good!
Let's open this up.
Okay, so this looks pretty futuristic.
Yeah, I agree.
The grip is quite good also.
There's like some good grip in the middle in case you need to like jiggle it around or whatever, if the egg needs to move.
Okay, so we turned on this Egg Master and now, the red light is turned on.
Oh, oh, oh! It's steaming. It's steaming. It's steaming.
Okay, so now we're gonna try doing the first step which is to add olive oil into this.
Wah, so hot! Oops.
Just let it bloop! Bloop!
You can even hear it sizzling!
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Oh my God!;
Oh my God, it's risen already.
It's come up! It's coming up.
Oh my God, I'm so excited about this!
Oh my God, it's so funny. As it rises up, it's just like...
And it's like rising and rising.
Look! Oh my Gosh, look at this!
Look!
So, it has been 7 minutes. Now, we're gonna try and pour this out and see whether our egg rolls are ready to be eaten.
Go, go, go, go! I believe in you.
Please come!
Look at this beautiful creation.
Like...
we did not expect this at all.
Okay, go, go, go, go, go!
Okay, I'm gonna go slice this.
And I love for me on eggs right, I love a slight crispiness to it.
Oh, yes!
So, the outside is crispy and the middle's going to be all egg-y and like...
Yes!
It only kind of appeals to you if you like your eggs cooked this way.
Like if you like a runny yolk or anything, you're not really gonna get that.
You're not -
You're never gonna get a runny yolk.
The only thing is, it just took too long.
Like I could've cooked quite a few eggs within time by the time that heated up.
So based on all of that right, I would give this a 2.95.
The excitement is there.
When it comes out, you'd be like "Oh my God!" The excitement is there.
So, I kind of agree with the rating. I would personally say a 3.
Because to me, it just cooks the egg.
Like if it did something a bit more extravagant, maybe.
I don't want to spend a load of money on a machine.
Shame. Shame.
Anyway, should we see what the next product is?
Let's go!
Ooo, what is this?
Oh my, look!
Sushi Z!
Okay, so this is a sushi bazooka.
It's $14.70 from Qoo10.
So, this sushi bazooka helps to make sushi rolls easier.
By just putting your rice here and then your ingredients and it will just bloop!
And then extrude, apparently. Extrude!
What a posh word. Wow, so fancy.
Basically, for a normal sushi roll right, the most hardest part to do is to roll the sushi rice with the ingredients itself/
So, this just eliminates that difficulty and inconvenience.
Okay, let's open!
Let's open this up!
Woah!
This is a long piece of tube.
We've got our ingredients in place here.
We are gonna use the corn from previously just now as an ingredient for our sushi rolls.
And rice.
And we are going to start now!
Yeah okay, so first step right?
We're gonna like open this up.
So, you've got the little grips on the side.
So, we've got to open these little grips here.
Okay.
So then it folds open.
So, we have to fill it up right to the top right?
Yeah
Okay can, let's do it.
We're gonna make sure that this is fully packed as well right to the brim.
So, we've packed our rice into these compartments here.
Yes!
so, we are going to add in the filling which is the corn from just now.
So, we've packed our corn inside here as well.
So, next step we're gonna do is to compact this together.
So then now, we have to close it.
Close it.
Like this.
So, we lock this in place.
So now, we have our Nori seaweed laid out.
So, Sepi's going to pack it.
I feel like I'm trying to give birth to the sushi.
I will believe you.
Oh my God!
Wait, put it on the -
Put it here!
I'm scared. Put it here!
I'm scared it's not going to work this way.
Yes, girl!
Push it!
Why is it so difficult?
Just a bit more.
Sepi, push!
I'm pushing!
Push it!
Just a little bit more.
Yes!
Look at this!
I'm impressed.
Oh my God, it's so cute!
It's so cute!
So, I would rate this sushi roll a 3.5 out of 5 because
first of all, it works.
It really works.
And secondly,
really simple to use. Just step 1, 2, 3. That's it.
But what I don't like about it is the mess that comes out of it.
I think like with this, I was thinking around 3.5 too.
I think because making it is really fun, right?
Putting it all in, you can get creative with it with ingredients. Make it really fun.
But actually, initially, pushing the sushi out is the really hard part.
So Sepi, what was your favourite product amongst the 4?
For me, personally,
I really like the sushi maker.
Like I thought that was really fun and like I totally totally would get it.
What's your least favourite amongst the 4?
I'd say like still the spaghetti fork.
We thought it was going to be fast. It wasn't.
It felt flimsy.
It was actually more inconvenient than you just use manually.
But I have to say though, the Egg Master was like a little bit of an MVP for me.
When it was made
When it came out though
It was like bloop!
I was shook.
I was -
It came out and I was like "Woah there!"
Hello!
