hello and welcome to salted food it's
[10]
kitchen gadget time and we've got a very
[12]
exciting lineup today we are going to
[14]
test review and explore whether any of
[15]
these are worthy of a spot in your
[17]
kitchen
[18]
ebber's our personal chef is in the hot
[20]
seat first are you ready so ready
[26]
may i
[27]
of course i always have mixed feelings
[28]
about these come on this is the fun
[30]
ebbers oh
[32]
fresh out the box
[35]
quite quite a good hinge and a great
[37]
snap
[40]
and i like the engraving of the brand
[41]
name
[42]
the name gives it away this is the sushi
[44]
maker the sushi comes with all you need
[47]
to get started on your journey from
[49]
humble beginner to master sushi prepper
[52]
made completely from clean smooth wood
[54]
berry
[55]
don't don't die look what you've done
[58]
made completely from clean smooth wood
[61]
this sushi maker contains a mold for
[63]
your sticky rice and filling of your
[65]
choosing and a prod to ensure the rice
[68]
is evenly pushed in and pushed out can i
[72]
make some sushi please oh calls so step
[74]
one is to soak the machine or make up
[77]
give it give it a dip give it a dip make
[79]
sure it's very wet
[81]
so you want to pack the rice into the
[83]
maker
[85]
i'm intrigued to see if this genuinely
[86]
does work because i don't make sushi
[88]
often so when i do i always mess it up
[90]
and think i could have done that better
[92]
because i'm out of practice
[93]
[Music]
[96]
that goes on here
[97]
we definitely need some pressing
[101]
yeah what did there been we didn't wet
[103]
it properly i don't know how much wetter
[105]
it can be than stuck in water
[109]
[Music]
[110]
squelching
[112]
that
[122]
a little clumsy but then
[124]
if you've ever tried hard on yourself
[126]
if you've ever tried to actually roll it
[128]
that's quite clumsy too so now we get to
[129]
put our filling in now this is a bit for
[132]
me that i find very satisfying because
[134]
usually i find it very hard to get my
[136]
salmon bang in the middle
[139]
[Music]
[146]
oh my gosh wow
[148]
[Music]
[152]
that makes you got a firm grip
[155]
oh god and then
[159]
[Music]
[163]
that's how the sausage gets made wow
[166]
wow so at this point you could serve it
[169]
as is or you could roll it in some
[171]
sesame seeds
[172]
or you can wrap it in the nori shape
[174]
which we've got here let's do that
[176]
now you always want to allow the nori
[178]
sheet to absorb some of the moisture
[179]
from the rice
[180]
we could try one more while we wait do
[183]
another one
[185]
surprisingly satisfying to just see how
[188]
it all works and tessellate
[190]
it's a great bit of carpentry let's step
[192]
behind and get my weight behind it and
[193]
then no he's cocked his leg up
[197]
[Music]
[205]
i know about you guys if they came out
[207]
of my kitchen
[209]
in that consistency i'd be proud if they
[211]
came out of your kitchen i would be very
[214]
proud and very impressed and quite
[215]
questionable about how that happened
[218]
they are very uniform
[220]
i think as i was cutting them you could
[221]
tell they're not quite as tightly packed
[223]
i think when i typically roll with a mat
[226]
you're kind of pulling it back on itself
[227]
and it is a little on the wet side but
[229]
but uniformality and simplicity
[233]
it absolutely works i was quite
[235]
surprised
[236]
okay shall we have a stab at the price
[239]
i'm going to go
[241]
19.99
[243]
27 pounds 99
[245]
oh okay
[246]
fair bit more than i thought if you do
[249]
make sushi
[251]
often you'd probably have the knack and
[253]
not need it but if you've never tried it
[255]
and want to get into it it's a good
[257]
stepping stone no it does work doesn't
[259]
it yeah it works
[262]
number two basil lift the cloth okay
[267]
a
[268]
hexagonal
[270]
toasty machine
[271]
oh you've gone
[273]
for
[274]
[Music]
[278]
i'm sorry
[279]
close it i'm scared does this just make
[282]
a lot of mini toasties
[284]
barry
[285]
this is the smart
[287]
samosa maker
[289]
this samosa maker gives you a way of
[291]
making healthier samosas quickly and
[293]
easily instead of frying them and making
[295]
them oilier than a spa massage this
[297]
machine bakes them
[299]
it also gives you a way of making
[301]
batches up to 24 deep-filled samosas at
[303]
once meaning you don't have to spend all
[305]
day in the kitchen just to clarify
[307]
because sometimes we do need to have
[308]
this transparency are they your words or
[310]
the manufacturers i they are the
[313]
manufacturer's words right i want to
[315]
know which spy you can go to and get
[316]
massaged in ghee
[319]
barry what do you think
[323]
first up
[324]
grease up my samosa
[326]
machine
[328]
this bit doesn't tessellate so well
[330]
the pre-made
[332]
fila pastry
[333]
you have to lay on
[335]
so that there is the pea and potato
[337]
recipe actually from the manual that
[340]
we've made for you mate
[341]
so already i'm doing it
[344]
and the filo is cracking so
[346]
traditionally
[347]
as i have been told by kush
[350]
you would take your um specific
[353]
samosa dough you'd roll that out and
[355]
then you'd fill that with your
[358]
filling and then you'd fold it over in a
[360]
triangle shape and then you basically go
[362]
up and down and up and down folding it
[364]
over into a samosa
[367]
they can be deep fried but cushy's mum
[370]
actually just brushes them with a little
[371]
bit of oil and bakes them in the oven so
[374]
this is not too far away how some people
[376]
are doing it
[377]
well it's quite very it's very far away
[379]
isn't it look at it we haven't seen the
[381]
results yet but if these work then i'd
[384]
be intrigued to try it time and time and
[385]
time again with different pastries filo
[387]
possibly puff
[389]
maybe even some short crust and mix up
[391]
the fillings like cheese like feta and
[393]
spinach and do kind of that do some
[395]
sweet ones we did the bouncy samosas
[397]
years ago literally crack a bit of
[398]
balance in the middle like job done
[401]
basically triangular pastries
[403]
so it's been about 10 minutes
[406]
i think it's about done the the paler
[409]
ones the middle
[410]
that's where i double wrapped
[414]
which might be why as well
[416]
[Music]
[418]
it's not what i'd expect from a samosa
[421]
but something new i'm quite excited by
[423]
this
[427]
right should we try some yeah they don't
[430]
look bad i mean they don't look like
[432]
traditional proper samosas but they
[434]
don't look
[435]
unappetizing cheers
[440]
i do the samosa thing they haven't got
[442]
the same
[444]
plaque and crunch well fido adds a
[446]
different texture to it
[448]
but it's not bad no i tell you what the
[450]
filling which is from the the booklet
[452]
tastes delicious
[454]
are we doing a terrible thing i don't
[456]
know
[456]
if someone said to me bad knock up 24
[459]
samosas i would
[461]
there would be a big sigh and a little
[462]
bit of panic sort of fussy maybe putting
[464]
together a christmas tree i think
[466]
exactly
[467]
the admin of making this samosa for me
[469]
midweek is a bit too much
[471]
with a machine like that
[475]
it's really simple and with pre-made
[477]
filo it's a wicked hack do you want to
[478]
take a guess at how much this cost i'm
[480]
going to go and say that is about
[482]
46 pounds
[485]
turn that six upside down 49. well done
[488]
very close
[490]
okay
[493]
yeah you can get really nice waffle
[495]
irons for 100 pounds
[497]
um
[498]
and that's
[499]
slightly low quality but a very specific
[502]
use
[503]
so 50 quilts alright
[505]
and if it was less than that i'd
[507]
question how didn't expect this but i
[509]
think i might take it home i don't think
[510]
that was the offer was it no no no
[512]
that's what i said about storing it back
[514]
so we can all use it when we walk
[517]
[Music]
[524]
time for number three mike lift the
[526]
clutch
[527]
[Music]
[530]
vacuum cleaner
[532]
slice the dicer french fry maker
[535]
mandolin there it is that's what i was
[537]
looking for that's it mike you've
[538]
guessed it this is the once for all
[541]
multifunctional vegetable slicer with
[543]
stainless steel blades manual food
[546]
cutter for chef and household once for
[549]
all so it's an all-in-one vegetable
[550]
chopper which performs perfectly for
[552]
slicing stripping julienning and dicing
[556]
there's no need to change blades you
[558]
just rotate the knobs press the handle
[560]
down and you can cut various veggies and
[562]
fruits into any shape and thickness that
[564]
you want it doesn't feel stable like
[567]
well mike that's because you haven't
[568]
found the collapsible feature and there
[571]
you go look at that now it's sturdy af
[575]
okay
[578]
cool let's try it
[580]
this hasn't been thought through
[584]
so on the back there mate you've got
[585]
three different knobs you've got a big
[587]
one at the bottom
[589]
that is your thickness the
[592]
two small knobs at the top
[595]
will then change the direction of the
[597]
blades so that you can have it as slices
[600]
you can have it as dices you can have it
[602]
as julienne is or batones right let's go
[605]
slices of cucumber
[607]
you want to make sure your little knobs
[609]
all the way around to the left and now
[610]
choose your thickness
[614]
excellent rhythm
[616]
well what's the consistency like it's
[617]
very consistent what i'd like you to do
[620]
is turn your big knob all the way around
[622]
to eight
[623]
and then your left knob
[626]
turn it 360 lock it back in
[629]
that's made the spikes go right out
[631]
let's use the potato yeah and make
[633]
strips of potato sounds like chips
[642]
lads
[643]
chips chips mate i did want chips but
[647]
i'm also now a little bit hungry for
[648]
like parmentier potatoes
[651]
so for this we need to start with thick
[653]
slices so you're going to want to turn
[654]
your left hand knob all the way back
[656]
around again 360 degrees lock it in
[659]
you've already got the big knob on the
[660]
thick slice a one a two a one two three
[663]
four
[668]
you can put your slices
[671]
back in
[673]
and you're going to want to rotate your
[675]
left knob
[679]
the ferocity of the spring like coming
[681]
back out flicks these forward watch
[684]
[Music]
[686]
hallelujah earlier
[689]
once for all you you're not going to get
[691]
like a perfectly
[693]
diced dice as if you were to trim the
[695]
edges off make a square and actually do
[696]
it by hand yourself i mean but look this
[699]
reminds me of like a sofrito uh let's do
[702]
a carrot
[703]
and let's julienne
[707]
yes
[708]
oh okay
[709]
so i think the thing with all of these
[711]
types of machines and we've tested
[713]
multiple of them in the last few years
[715]
they've been the backbone of our
[717]
advertising revenue let's be honest um
[720]
it does depend a lot
[722]
usually on the shape of your vegetable
[725]
or whatever it is that you're trying to
[726]
chop but when you get it right
[728]
this seems to work
[730]
normally they're absolute dog crap but
[732]
i'm pleasantly surprised can you see
[735]
yourself using something like this at
[736]
home
[737]
for things that require good
[738]
presentation or bulk
[740]
mostly i can actually imagine myself
[742]
using it here in battles like genuinely
[745]
to speed up like the time trials it will
[748]
make things quicker like bigger bigger
[750]
portion sizes doing stuff in bulk i
[753]
genuinely would use it for those things
[755]
u3 might also need it for your next
[757]
shift in modeli
[758]
i heard that got shut down by the
[760]
environmental agency
[762]
so let's talk price how much do you
[764]
think we paid for the once for all
[766]
multi-functional vegetable slicer
[768]
do you know like this isn't the type of
[770]
gadget that strikes me that you'd buy
[771]
from amazon i'd imagine getting it from
[773]
something like a lakeland or like a
[775]
shopping
[776]
store and i therefore would say 25
[781]
pounds i'm not sure i pay more than 25
[783]
pounds okay well we bought this from
[785]
amazon
[786]
for
[787]
27 pounds 59 pence
[790]
again
[791]
if you can see a use for it i think
[793]
you'd get 27 pounds worth of usage out
[796]
of it if you were going to use it it
[798]
would be a waste of that money if you
[800]
bought it because you thought you'd use
[801]
it and you never did
[804]
[Music]
[806]
garbage i can't wait to lift the clutch
[807]
on this one
[808]
what could it be i've had a lot of fun
[811]
today but it's about to get more fun
[813]
oh
[815]
it looks like a coffee machine
[818]
except
[820]
you don't get this bit on a coffee
[821]
machine tell me that this is what i
[823]
think it is
[824]
this is indeed phillips the perfect
[827]
draft keg machine yeah come on beer
[831]
we have tested over the years a number
[833]
of devices that give you that draft feel
[836]
at home
[837]
actually can i
[838]
just stop you what we've done in the
[839]
past is cheap versions yeah
[842]
none of them have worked so we've just
[843]
gone screw it try the proper big
[846]
expensive one and see if that works am i
[848]
right you are right and we also got a
[851]
keg involved and we chilled that and i
[854]
pre-loaded it into the machine because
[855]
unlike the others this actually chills
[857]
it for you
[859]
oh okay nice gabriella chill me right
[862]
yeah
[864]
such a dad
[866]
their words
[868]
this pause perfectly cold draft beer
[871]
from tap to enjoy with friends or to
[873]
relax after stressful day
[875]
sturdy with a real bar tap handle that
[877]
fits perfectly in every kitchen man cave
[879]
or holiday house
[880]
everyone loves beer there will be any
[883]
person any person can like beer anybody
[885]
or cooking studios human cave now out of
[888]
the box there's some instructions you
[889]
have to follow the quick start up guide
[892]
and if i'm honest very easy to follow
[894]
lots of diagrams lots of telling you
[896]
when things should click in
[897]
the top pump kind of goes onto the keg
[900]
then you get this wobbly little tube
[902]
that goes down the front and clips in
[903]
again everything clips into place you
[906]
slide it into what is a base that is a
[907]
refrigerator inside the machine once
[909]
you've opened it up you clamp down the
[911]
blue and you leave it to chill
[916]
[Music]
[924]
perfect it's a barry one
[929]
they do say the first one you have to
[931]
run it through the pump because at this
[932]
point there was air in the
[935]
pipe so the second one should be better
[943]
ah here we go he's got it
[947]
no no he's got it he's got it
[949]
he's done it there you go mastered it on
[951]
the last oh wait hey that's my beer mask
[954]
for
[955]
it goes without saying it wouldn't be a
[956]
sorted pub
[958]
without some salted grubs we've got beer
[959]
snacks as well oh
[962]
the machine made
[963]
no we just have to keep the kitchen busy
[966]
cheers cheers cheers lovelies
[974]
that is wonderful
[976]
so if these beer glasses are 33
[978]
centiliters and you'll get about 18 out
[981]
of a keg if you use the continental 20
[983]
centiliters you get 30. the one we
[985]
bought was
[988]
37 quid it's about the same as buying
[991]
cans of beer yes
[993]
but obviously you're going to have the
[994]
machine on top of that
[995]
different but yeah this
[998]
is the closest to draft that's almost
[1001]
actually indistinguishable from a draft
[1003]
pint the head
[1004]
is a bit more bitter it's creamy and a
[1006]
bit more bitter than the actual beer
[1008]
itself and that's what you want because
[1009]
it provides the balance between the head
[1011]
and the bit
[1012]
and that provides a really good amount
[1014]
of that bitterness with the airiness and
[1016]
i like it
[1018]
it's a bit extra isn't it it's a bit
[1022]
big like is this thing on your worktop
[1025]
where where is this going
[1027]
you've got to have a big kitchen granted
[1029]
yep i also think you have to have
[1031]
immense
[1032]
willpower yeah that is so true what not
[1034]
to pour yourself on for breakfast yeah
[1037]
if that was on my workshop and i knew
[1039]
that there was cold beer in there and
[1040]
i'm working from home why would i not be
[1043]
having one at lunch time like that's not
[1045]
good for me i know that how deep are you
[1047]
willing to go to pay for this
[1050]
300 pounds i'll throw in a keg and a
[1053]
half as well
[1055]
with the glasses
[1057]
of which there were two yep 249.
[1062]
this is
[1063]
splurgeville that's what that is it's
[1065]
splurge bill it's not
[1067]
cop
[1068]
i need to get this now i've been paid
[1070]
mike during that last conversation i
[1072]
discovered something about the machine
[1074]
and i'm going to need your help
[1075]
to
[1076]
show what i think might be its best
[1078]
feature so this is detachable so we can
[1081]
just move that out of the way oh
[1083]
what i'm thinking
[1086]
there
[1087]
and then live the dream
[1090]
three
[1091]
two
[1091]
one
[1096]

[1102]

[1120]
angle
