🤖 Futuristic Kitchen Gadgets Review
The video opens with a discussion about various futuristic kitchen gadgets, including a robot that cooks fried rice, an AI oven, and a pickle pincher. The hosts, Ryan and Nick, plan to test these gadgets, which range from a power tool for removing fish skin to a device for making square eggs. They start with the pickle pincher, which has a one-star review, and humorously debate its usefulness. Despite initial skepticism, they find the pickle pincher surprisingly effective and give it a rating of three and a half stars.
🍗 Rotisserie Chicken Maker and Other Kitchen Tools
The duo moves on to test an at-home rotisserie chicken maker, which they find amusing to use despite a warning from a reviewer named Jeff. They also test a bag resealer, which impresses them with its effectiveness, earning a 4.7-star rating. A latte art pen and a citrus sprayer follow, with the latter receiving a five-star rating for its impressive spray. However, a kitchen sponge holder gets a low rating due to hygiene concerns raised by a reviewer named Fred.
🍦 DIY Ice Cream and Corn Stripping
The hosts then try a DIY ice cream ball, which they find enjoyable and rate at 2 and 1/2 stars, despite some mushiness. A corn stripper gadget is tested next, with initial skepticism due to a negative review from Deborah. However, upon trying it themselves, they discover that Deborah may have used it incorrectly and end up liking the gadget, giving it a 4.5-star rating.
🧈 Butter Transformations and Chicken Shredding
The video continues with a butter ribbon maker and a butter cube maker, both of which are tested for their ability to transform a stick of butter. The butter ribbon maker impresses with its output, earning a 4.9-star rating, while the cube maker fails to work, receiving a one-star rating. A chicken shredder is also tested and, despite some initial doubts, it works effectively, garnering a positive reaction.
🍞 Grilled Cheese and Bacon Cooking Gadgets
The hosts test a deluxe grilled cheese toaster, which they find successful in making a thick grilled cheese, although the smell is off-putting. A bacon cooker, which had a one-star review due to a microwave incident, is also tested and found to work, although the bacon ends up looking unevenly cooked. The video ends with a touchless drink dispenser, which works well and earns a 4.9-star rating.
🍇 Grape Cutting and Avocado Preservation
A grape cutter is tested and found to be ineffective, only managing to smash the grapes, leading to a one-star rating. The guacamole 'guac loock' is tested next, with the hosts figuring out how to use it properly and concluding that it works as intended. An egg cuber is also tested, and despite the strange concept of cubed eggs, it works well and is deemed satisfying by the hosts.
🧄 Garlic Zoom and S'mores Making
The video concludes with a test of the garlic Zoom, a garlic mincing device that lives up to its promise, earning a high rating for being fun and effective. Lastly, a s'mores maker is tested, which quickly creates perfect s'mores with melted marshmallows and chocolate.

feel like it would be a happy Christmas
I mean look at the people making ice
cream on the back of their box talk
about killing two birds with one stone
truly I'm having a hard time oh there we
go so the first side it's where we put
the salt and the
ice what was I supposed to do do all of
that Ryan doesn't cook much I don't I
know nothing about the
kitchen Nick really cares about this
chicken this is what the other side
looks like it's pretty much just a
hole into the hole with a whole thing of
cream
wow sugar little pieces of blue
raspberry sour strips We're going to
spice it up with some Mega stuff Oreos
ooh
this combination has never been done
before in a ball where's the crumb
vacuum when you need them can we get to
play
now oh it's kind of
heavy oh oh my
God W take the L neck okay we've been
playing with this ball for a while it's
leaking here we go
oh it actually has ice cream in there
Cheers Cheers
brother wa this is so
cool
M that's actually really good damn M and
the ice cream tastes very pure however
there's a bunch of mush in the middle
and we played for a while and I have a
brain freeze because it worked about 50%
2 and 1/2
Stars corn stripper this is actually the
real name of this item it's supposed to
take your corn off the cop unfortunately
Deborah gave it a onear rating saying it
was a terrible product and she bought 36
ears of corn to try it out no Deborah
first of all why would you name an item
the corn stripper what else could it
possibly be called it strips corn right
off the cob oh now that noise was okay
we remove this from the cylinder and I
place a piece of corn mhm oh oh oh my
gosh that's actually
concerning oh my goodness it actually is
like a warehouse fire oh oh
gosh that was sick here lies the
rotisserie chicken that's the part that
was burning for sure can we spam rip
Jeff in the comments look at that blade
that's sharp corn stripper take
one nice it works all right put the lid
on I'm actually really nervous gentle
downward pressure twist the blade to cut
the kernels from the cob core you want
me to try running yeah
zra might have had a point let's just
try a fresh cob yeah this looks more on
par with the dimensions that the device
has I feel better about
this why are there multip oh why are
there so many tubes wait wait this sits
on the side I think we're doing it wrong
this is to push out the cob at the end
oh I see okay oh Deborah might have been
using it wrong that is absolutely true
look at all that that's a lot of corn
ejecto the bottom
ejecto look at all that
corn
nice oh that was anticlimactic okay oh
you know I kind of like this thing Ryan
yeah it's pretty nice actually it does
the trick she definitely was doing it
wrong like oh Deborah was for sure doing
it wrong yeah there's no way you go 36
years of corn and you don't get it right
one time
yep dude that's so satisfying oh wow the
future is
here H 4.5 Stars pretty good corn 10 out
of 10 name we have a few more devices
for our corn butter cutter and the
buttermill Vernon is furious he says
totally useless product ever produced
that doesn't even make sense but it's
one star well both of these things are
supposed to be able to take a cold stick
of butter and do something with that no
way mine's supposed to turn it into
ribbons and yours is supposed to turn it
into nice perfect little cubes okay
let's see who is better start with the
buttermill that's
satisfying no way dude this product is
five stars just for being so satisfying
wait how do
I
wait
oh dude this is like a toy this is just
entertaining oh okay this little hole
right here is where the butter is
supposed to come out in a nice ribbon
that would be crazy nothing yet nothing
yet but I think I see it it's on the way
there it is
wo wow it looks like pasta this is crazy
that's awesome if you're putting that
much butter on your corn we need to talk
look at that it's like art for me I
would give this a 4.9 star it's not a
five only because it hurts my hand a lot
to crank it anyone who's ribboning that
much butter probably is going to be in
pain
let's see if the butter cutter can live
up to that
okay they both fit perfectly that's
satisfying okay butter lid goes on and
here we
go okay wait doesn't work do I have to
push
it trying to do the math here
this doesn't work that's a onear product
but
this that's amazing take a
bite oh my gosh M butter assuming that
chicken had actually cooked we have a
chicken Shredder Allan's onear review
says I deleted Tik Tok after buying this
things did not go well for Alan as a
backup I had bought this rotisserie
chicken apparently all you do is you
place a few chicken breasts into here I
don't think this is going to work I
actually really think this is going to
work do I just here we go I think you
just put it on and you just start
[Music]
turning it's like King Arthur's sword
okay there we
go wow that's actually so good this is
blowing my mind I'm go this way why not
oh
wo what oh no that's crazy not The
Cutting Board that's at least one star
off wait that's that's many stars off
that's sad do you think that'll come out
no oh my gosh Alan said I saw this on
Tik Tok and was so excited to try it out
unfortunately all it did was scuff up my
countertops and it actually did that's
crazy Ryan grab a bowl up here okay how
