Alternate title: Lu Gets Sticky, vol. 2.
As someone who picks up a huge wedge of watermelon and just chomps on it, this lifehack made me curious. Is there a better way to cut up watermelon? I also get to show off the best chef’s knife I’ve ever owned.
In this video, I test out the Watermelon Tap from Profreshionals
I learned three things while making (and after making) this video:
1) Always open the soda bottle in advance.
2) Logically, I know that watermelon juice is sticky, but if you spill it all over your kitchen, it will make everything sticky and pink.
3) This beverage is better with gin.
Enjoy!
Yeah, I could buy a pitter, but that’s just another thing to clutter my tiny kitchen. In this video, I test whether I can pit cherries with a chopstick.
Now you can make perfect hardboiled eggs without the shell! Or can you? In this video, I test out Egglettes, little silicone cups in which one can boil eggs.
HOLEY STRAWBERRIES! I’ve been seeing this lifehack floating around for a while, and I wanted to see if it actually worked.
In this video, I test out one of those stainless steel bars of “soap” to see if it really works to remove the odor of garlic, onion, and fish from my hands.
In this episode, I’m testing different ways of making hardboiled eggs easier to peel, and I’m trying out a color changing boiled egg timer. For the first test, I poked a small hole in the bottom of two eggs before boiling. For the second test, I added two tablespoons to the water before boiling. I purchased the egg timer at Poundland when visiting London in 2013, but I have seen them in dollar stores and on Amazon in the US.
Bonus video: 14 minutes of egg boiling condensed to 2.5 minutes. I find it oddly mesmerizing, and you can really see the Egg Timer work its magic.
