On the Industrial Vegetable Chopper i believe Dan got the FAULTY one
There's actually an another unit of that gadget where it has a LEVER FUNCTION and it can slice any kinds of Vegetables evenly
Were u seriously trying not to use the commercial chopper correctly? Ridiculous. I can't even finish this video; what a joke. I have a chopper like this and it works extremely well. You were not being serious so time for me to go.
In the place of industrial chopper use an axe
When you pardon yourelf to a potato for attempting to use a poduct on it, you know the product just isn't good.
Kitchen Kitanas!
The chopper:
You’ll poke yr eyes out kid…
No gramps, you can't make that joke
1. No metal on chopper blade it will chop the glass which will get to the salad.
2. industrial chopper – is one of the best devices I have!! It speeds up chopping process 10 times. Potatoes, cucumbers, onions, boiled eggs carrots and tomatoes but you have to get used to it. You can get 25lb of perfect rectangular pieces of potatoes in 3 minutes. forget the knives.
3. Blades should be rounded as pizzaz cutter with multiple blades.
My mom showed me how to remove the core from a head of iceberg lettuce. With the core facing down, slam the lettuce onto a flat surface (counter/cutting board). Great for getting out aggression, too.
If you’re going to slice the cucumber anyway, why not just go ahead and dice it??
This guy doesn't know how to use half the products I think, also also test how easy it is to clean the products.
id give you 0 out of 5 for even testing the first one.
that vevor chopper is a display model. it is not designed to be used.
Scandinavians seeing the cheese slicer, wondering if anyone has ever heard of a “osthyvel”, a cheese slicer that’s abundant in all of the Nordic countries (and works great).
I could be sober watching this and have an amazing time. I could also have a few drinks and watch these videos and still have an amazing tome watching them. Love the guy who does the testing!
I think doing the slippery left handed test for both the product and the conventional way of doing it would be able to better show how the gadget provides improvement to show how the gadget improves life for disabled people.
I have received 2 different brands of the “industrial choppers” as gifts and one of them did not work at all and the other is FANTASTIC! One of the differences was there are serrated blades and also there is much more leverage for the one I kept
For the lettuce cutter, I think it would be cool to have a “lid” that goes over the top that can also be a salad bowl
5:46 That seems like an awfully messy way to juice a tomato
