Is there a better way to open an egg? Watch as I crack up while testing two egg openers.

Testing Banana Slicers
The title of the video pretty much tells you everything you need to know. I’m going to test two different banana slicers, one where I just push a banana shapped cutter down over the banana and another where I have to insert the banana in the cutter. Which cutter will be victorious? Will I end up injured again? Will I ever buy anything useful from Wish? How many times will Scout walk in front of the camera? Watch to find out the answers to these and many more questions!
Testing a Gadget: Jiffy Fries
In this video, I test a gadget that purports to make tasty, crisp fries in the microwave. I also injure myself so badly that I have to see a sports medicine specialist on Tuesday, so…. yeah, that’s a thing that happened.
Here’s the TV advertisement:
Testing a Gadget: Citrus Zester Reamer from Talisman Designs
This seems like an elegant solution to the problem of zesting and juicing citrus fruits, but does it work as well as the packaging suggests? Watch to find out!
Testing a Gadget: Dash Egg Cooker
Dash does it again with a device for cooking eggs. Please excuse the awkward cut before I open the cooker. The sound it makes when the eggs are done cooking is earsplitting, and I decided to spare your eardrums from having to hear it, but take my word for it, you know when the eggs are finished. Oh, and my assistant comes in to help. I included the full outtakes from Scout’s helpfulness at the bottom of this post.
Below is a video of the noise that the Egg Cooker makes when it is done. It is ear-splitting. Listen at your own peril.
Scout is helpful! He’s such a good helper.
Testing a Gadget: The Pogo Whisk
In this video, I try to build up my forearms like Popeye by using the Pogo Whisk. This whisk turns four times for every pump of the handle, making it possible to whisk eggs at a superhuman speed. Does it work? Watch to find out!
Testing a Gadget: The Corn Dude from Joie Msc
Corn Dude v Knife. Which will strip the kernels off a corn cob more efficiently? Only one can win.
Testing a Gadget: The My Pint Ice Cream Maker from Dash
You scream! I scream! Ok, now let’s use our inside voices or we’re not going to get any ice cream!
In this video, I test out a pint sized ice cream maker from Dash.
Here’s the recipe I tried:
Coffee Sorbet
3 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 Teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup coffee (or 1/2 cup of water and 1 heaping tablespoon of instant coffee)
1/2 Teaspoon coffee liqueur (I used Kahlua)
Testing a Gadget: Egglettes
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.
