- Are these gadgets handy gizmos or hot garbage?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- One of the things I love most in life is my family,
but also efficiency, just below that.
In fact, I got a college degree in Industrial Engineering.
I use it all the time because I love to find new
and improved ways to accomplish tasks quicker and better.
- Both for yourself and for others.
- Yeah I like to make your life better.
- Yeah.
- Does this apply to like the kitchen for you?
You got a lot of kitchen gadgets
that make things easier, quicker?
- If I spent more time in the kitchen, sure,
but I'm a bit afraid of that zone.
- Yeah, for good reason.
Well, today we're going to test some supposedly
innovative cutting edge but also kind of strange products
to see if they have what it takes to replace
the old way of doing things in the kitchen.
It's time for New Tool or Old School Kitchen Edition.
So we're gonna test a series of culinary gadgets and gizmos.
All of which claim to improve
the old school traditional way of doing stuff
of doing stuff in the kitchen.
We're also going to be doing the normal old school way
for a direct comparison
and then we're going to declare if you
are better off with the new tool,
or if you should stay old school.
- See how helpful we are?
- Yes.
(music)
We are seeing those videos
where people take water melons
and smash them between their thighs.
You know what am saying.
- I've seen this yes.
- We're not gonna do that.
Haha, you thought maybe we were, we're not.
But we're going to.
- I always knew I couldn't do it.
- We're gonna be using
the stainless steel watermelon slicer,
which supposedly makes cubing a watermelon easier
than ever before
- So it's got a windmill on it.
We have not done this beforehand, so don't judge us.
You just kind of stick around the watermelon
and hope for the best
- It's like a wood reamer.
What's that thing where you like, planer?
- Oh, whoa.
- Oh, my goodness.
What?
- Yeah.
Look at that.
- Let me try that.
Oh look mine stayed down there yours came up well yeah.
- Some of them that time they stayed down.
- And there's a there's a gauge on the side.
- Now they're going to be really nice cubes.
I'm gonna go pretty deep with this
and you can go you can go two centimeters deep.
- If you just go what I did
go straight down into like that
that that's what made it
that's what spits it up like that
- This is quite fun.
- But is it better than the old school way which I'm going
to attempt to demonstrate.
- [Stevie] Guys, I breaking news.
You've just won an all expenses paid vacation
to Squaresbill
- What?
- [Stevie] You should probably bring something
to show your gratitude.
What better thing to bring than
perfect squares of watermelon.
But be careful if your watermelon isn't perfectly squared,
you'll be shackled in the town square where the
townspeople will throw rotten square tomatoes at you.
- Oh gosh this is very stressful Stevie.
- Wow, this is a developed.
- [Stevie] To the best of your tools abilities.
Fill your bowls with perfectly squared
cubes of watermelon.
- Alright so, we gotta dump these.
- I didn't get a lot of perfect cubes, that way,
but I'm gonna do what I have done as the old school way
of cubing a watermelon.
- Is a bit of a problem
because the pinwheel gets caught.
I got it.
I gotta say I feel safe, I feel happy,
I feel like I'm in the future.
- I'm just concentrating a lot.
- The ryan kind of prevents you from having
too much fun here.
- Okay, now turn this sucker inside like this.
- The Cube ability of this thing is, it's a bit difficult,
because you can see. see how long and thin
these pieces are.
They're not, they're not very consistent
- I'm gonna keep going.
- Let's see.
I think this thing costs $17.
- All right, I got some really nice cubes over here.
- [Stevie] Wow.
That your cubes are looking very perfect.
- I don't know about y'all,
but that's some cube crap right there.
- [Stevie] The people of Squaresbill will
rejoice at your cubes right.
- And I got more where that came from.
- I mean, mine are edible.
But they're not very cubed.
- 4 more, 5 more.
- I think we have enough to assess like,
hold your, hold your bowl up.
- You just like my random cube.
- See now okay, see,
this is one of my better cubes
so I'm just gonna be.
Now and because a lot of them are very thin.
I mean, I honestly don't care.
That's nice Rhett.
- Hey man, look, at this.
- That is more pleasing.
- Mm hmm.
And I mean, if I did a little extra work,
I could get in there and get all the rest of those.
- Mine are safer and a lot quicker.
May be it's not quicker.
So much of anything.
- It's not a lot what that I mean,
I think say Mayor Squaresbills
gonna be a lot happier with me.
- Yeah, I say what?
We're going to stay with the old tool here,
even though, I'm a fan of windmills in general.
- Okay, we prefer the old school.
- You know how when you're dunking your cookie in milk
sometimes you don't for a moment too long
and then you lose it to a vast sea of cold
unforgiving whiteness
- Yes.
- Well, the Dunking Buddy supposedly makes dunkin cookies
easier than ever before.
Its' back.
- Right,
- Dunkin buddies cost $14
and it's a it's a color changing plastic cup.
But then I've got this thing here
where it's put up put an Oreo in there for me.
It's kinda an Oreo holder.
I think you could put I'ma put 2 in there.
- You can put 2 in there.
- Put 2 at once.
And then there's a magnet.
So you put that on either side of the thing.
I guess, we should pour some milk first.
This kind of a thing.
And then, now just go I don't know if I left
anything for you.
Even a little bit.
Its your thing.
- Yeah, it's my thing.
- Sure thing.
- That's good enough.
All right, so then we're going to you put it
you know and you put it together.
You now have magnets.
- You now have magnets.
- And then you just dunk it buddy.
- You just lower it.
- Whoa, you have to go really slow so they stay
in the contraction.
Okay, here we go.
- Oh complete.
- Complete submerging.
- There they go.
- We have complete submerging.
I think I said that word wrong.
- Waiting too long.
- Complete submersion.
- They're really selling this
as you don't lose the cookie.
But you also don't get crumbs in the bottom.
- That's good.
- I never had a problem.
- Who's complaining about crumbs.
- Yeah, I'm not paying $14 on Amazon
for to prevent something that I like.
- Or I'm coming back out but oh oh oh,
You better bring it back out buddy because
it's getting soggy already.
But that is a perfectly dipped cookie.
- And the oh my goodness, oh wow.
And the whole thing.
- All the way to the core.
- That's nice.
- Okay, but we got to test
this versus the old school way which is your hand.
- [Stevie] Guys.
- Yeah.
- [Stevie] You won't believe this.
The Lakers have invited you
to their Annual Basketball Pool Party.
They just love to dunk their balls in water.
- For real?
- [Stevie] In fact, they take all forms of dunking
very seriously and they want you to oversee
their VIP Cookie Dunking launch
- Of course, we accept the job.
- [Stevie] To do the job right
you need to dunk cookies like a pro
for extended periods of time.
And to prepare for this VIP job,
you need to continually dunk a whole cookie
in a glass of milk for the entirety
of a classic 90 style NBA Jam.
Rhet you have the dunking buddy Link, you have your hand.
You guys ready to play some music?
- Wow.
- What a scenario.
- [Stevie] Let's go.
- I'm Devin bow.
Got ducking, not dumping.
Now I am not dunking my fingers
cause you don't want your fingertips in your milk.
This is the proper way to dump.
- All right, I have complete submersion.
- I'm starting to get.
- Ops, there we go worried I would bring it up.
- Just as good as the other way.
- What about the part you're holding though?
- It's crunchy.
I don't mind a little bit of crotch.
Actually, I actually do prefer that,
just cumbersome though because your
whole frigging apparatus
- But listen, Sylvia on Amazon said.
my adult son loved it.
So that makes me rethink everything.
- Sylvia's adult son loves it.
When it gets really soggy, like this one,
it's gotten even more soggy,
You're at a point where, look at
that you've got to eat it out
of the thing.
- And this is the kind
of thing you definitely don't want to do
in front of a group of people.
I like what they're trying to do.
It did taste good,
but there's just too many social things to overcome.
So we're saying we prefer.
- Yeah.
- Old school.
- Yeah, because there's just the logistics,
the elevation, change.
- Its' so, so awkward.
- Quick reminder, to check out the
mythical kitchen YouTube channel,
Mythical Chef Josh has created Red Lobster Nachos.
And every Wednesday you can listen to Josh and Nicole
discuss, dissect and debate some of the most
fascinating philosophical food topics,
on their podcast, A Hot Dog Is a Sandwich
available wherever a podcast is podcasted.
- Okay now we've got the spread that serrated butter knife.
This thing is supposed to solve the problem of cold
unspreadable butter by transferring the heat from your hand
into the knife itself.
Therefore making spreading butter easier than ever before.
- Good gosh.
- The echo is just off the cheese.
- So bring, you don't have butter, I have butter.
But let's just say you got it
from the fridge you wanted to keep good
so I'm not gonna take I'm just it doesn't say
how long you put your hand on it.
I just had my hand on it for
however long I've had it on.
- I feel my body heat been drained into this.
- Well.
- $20 knife.
- Whoa, actually cut really I mean butter does cut
pretty easy but it's also supposed to help with spreading.
- I mean.
- It's spreading.
- I have a ice cream scooper
that uses the same principle.
- Yeah, well 3.7 stars out of 5 on Amazon.
I'm a bit impatient.
- That's a good spread.
But again, this is not hard to test.
We got to try the old school way
with just a regular knife.
- [Stevie] Guys, guys.
- Yes wave.
- [Stevie] I've bad news.
An evil spirit has been haunting the Mythical Studio
and I'm not talking about nor to.
I'm talking about the toast ghost.
Only thing
- They're in cahoots?
What is in cahoots with the toast ghosts?
- [Stevie] Their toast ghosts go away
is 3 perfectly buttered pieces of toast.
- Three
- Who can give the toast ghosts what he needs?
In order to finally cross over to the other side.
Be careful if the toast ghost doesn't receive
the perfect toast, he will follow you on tonight.
Rhett you have a regular knife.
- Yes I do.
- [Stevie] Link, you have the spread that knife.
- This is a heavy knife.
- No heat transfer here.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe it's just heavy.
- [Stevie] Let's butter some toast, shall we?
- Okay, so still pretty easy.
I mean, not as easy maybe, and it's tough.
This is okay.
I'm noticing a difference and it's not spreading
as easy as it did with the spread that.
- You know what I figured out,
don't use the serrated edge for spreading.
I think it is doing a little something.
I got a big goop in the middle of too much.
Okay, so between the two of us we've got three
so I'll look at my 2, you look at your 1.
Oh, you've got 2.
- I got 2
- Let's compare
- Yours is definitely has spread more evenly.
You've gone all the way to the outside edges
and one reason I gave up is because my my my knife
was hot enough.
- My butt, your butt what?
- My butt felt great though.
I like the first one that
was definitively a better experience.
It did what it said it promises to do.
- Yeah, so we're going new tool with this
one if you can spare the 20 bucks.
This is yoke pig.
- The yoke pig.
- And it supposedly separates egg whites
from egg yolks making separating eggs easier
than ever before.
- Yeah, we we ran out of our echo budget.
Sorry, sorry, it had to be you.
- Whatever.
Okay.
So what are you squeeze this I was gonna say puppy,
but piggy.
- It's piggy.
- Squeeze this piggy
and while you crack your eggs completely
into a bowl and then you target the yolks
and you just get down there on it and then.
- Drop it over here.
- Oh, I dropped it back in it didn't stay.
Oh egg yolk so such.
Oh, what is that?
Let that go.
- That's the white you got a barf out the white.
- Oh, there's more.
- Yo, I don't think you need to hit it.
Let me see just that and then.
- Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna oh,
- Oh my God!
I got a perfect yolk over here.
I just deposited a perfect yolk.
- Oh my gosh I'm gonna try this one.
Oh gosh.
Now of course what you're typically trying to do
is you're trying to get your egg yolks out
so you can cook which
is your egg whites.
Link has ruined that for us.
But when you try again.
- And I'ma go the old school way
and let's let's compare the two.
- [Stevie] Guys, I have breaking news.
You've just been invited
to the Annual Strong Boys Competition and as you know,
each year a bunch of strong boys get together
to get together to show each other how strong they are.
And they've asked you
to bring the egg white omelets.
Be careful if the strong boys find any yolks
in their egg white omelets.
I'll throw you clear across Burbank.
You each have six eggs
to separate and you better hurry because the strong boys
are also hungry boys.
- And they're impatient.
- I'm gonna do this just just with the egg itself.
Crack it on the table.
Try to split it right down the middle.
Josh taught me how to do
this just a few seconds ago.
You're supposed to move the yolk back and forth.
The white part trips down.
Okay, that worked.
That's pretty good.
Check that out.
All right, so I've done one.
I'm kind of proud of myself.
There's nothing in there.
- Okay, I'm done with all sense.
See you, but you didn't do the cracking.
- Well, let's just imagine how long it takes
to crack six eggs.
- Well, but see, and if you have a problem,
you can get that out.
Okay.
All right, the pig.
- This thing's awesome.
- The pig was, the pig is from
we got to be seeing new tool for this.
Because look at that.
I mean, I wanna do someone else too.
I don't want to just make an egg white.
I want to make a yolk omelet,
- Make a yellow yellow omelet,
- And then you can make him swim
in the egg whites if you want.
- He's dead.
- Okay, so we're saying definitively new
tool for both the yolk pig and the spread that butter knife.
Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
