Good list, the color on the knife is called a patina and it is not rust..
Any info on the hanging pot shelf right of the stove? I’m in a small apartment and that would help with space.
Indian song ee😂
For me it’s my triple clad 12 inch stainless steal pan with high walls and lid. It’s more multipurpose than a frying pan but can do almost anything the frying pan does. I use it more than the Dutch oven for what I like to cook but the Dutch oven is a close second.
why is it impossible to get those microplanes anymore?
Back in the early eighties, scientist working for USDA were testing cutting boards for safety. With all the different types they had, they just threw in a wooden cutting board as a example of something they assumed would be bad. They loaded the boards with bacteria, and tested them. All of them failed badly, except the wooden board. Asssuming the wooden board was a mistake, the loaded it up with bacteria, and ran the test again. The next day, 99.7 % of the bacteria were dead. This was a surprise. How can a porous wooded cutting board, that millions of bacteria beat every other cutting board? Forty years later, they had repeated the test hundreds of times, and it comes out the same. Wooden board are the safest, when it comes to bacteria. There is just something about a wooden cutting board that kills bacteria. There is bad news. Plastic cutting boards are damn dangerous. The plastic was found to cause the bacteria to form a cyst. The cyst walls protects the bacteria, evern from the effects of a dish washer. So if you cut a pieces of meat, on plastic cutting board, and put through a dish washer, it is not as safe, as a wooden cutting board. Industry who makes plastic cutting boards fight this fact, but they are wrong. I know you want to argue. I’m right, and you’re wrong, so shut the hell up.
your fatger’s cutting board is sold out. any idea when it wil be back in stock? thank you.
Hey Buddy, What food processor do you use / recommend? Thanks!
Dutch oven is my fav
when you say salt is a tool, I lose my trust in your video
⚠️The use of goddamn is ultra and unexpected in this video. I would add, that an induction cooktop is a best practice for any home cook.
Aye duderz suggestion here:
I’ve seen other YouTubers put up German + UK Amazon links aswell. Dunno how much of your wage is from affiliates or how many European viewers you have, so maybe not worth the time buuut-
living here in ireland, I’m not gonna order from the American Amazon, though i would love to help you out through my purchases 🙂
9:07 nice…
I think the wooden spoon is my favorite.
Is just for me or the link for spider and mesh strainer point to the same link?
How about funnels?
I found the music to be overly loud and distracting.
What song was that at the end?
Another good video! Does the gun thermometer accurately measure oil for deep frying?
Cast iron Dutch oven – absolutely must have!
I prefer wooden cutting boards, because I like small splinters in my food.
Great tips, but the background music is aweful – and so distracting!
I feel like anyone following this guys advice will surely fail in the kitchen 🤣😂🤣😂
God’s name in vain? Completely ruined your video!
Do you know when your dads cutting boards will be back in stock?
Glass cutting boards are pure evil
Why do I hear a Hindi song in the background at the end from 10:00
😂.
I use my probe thermometer for chicken. What do you use?
By the i finished with the comments my tinny kitchen was overflowing with gadgets.
😨
Good 🎥. Thx
Excellent video, very helpful for single men, thank you!
The infrared laser thermometer is great for checking the temperature of, say, a wood-fired baking oven, but useless for boiling liquids. I’ve tried to use an IR laser when candying ginger, but it wouldn’t give me any readings over about 80℃, even when the sugar syrup was boiling and pretty concentrated.
You say laser thermometer. I say ergonomic cat toy
The fuck, I did not expect Hindi Music at the end
Woodglut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.
cool video…..but sigh, being disabled myself, your kitchen essential tools list does me almost no good….and could you please not point the laser at the camera, it’s just plain rude and can be really dangerous to some of the people watching this video(i mean, what if they are epileptic like me….they might end up having a seizure due to the strobe light effect)…..
A wooden spoon!
My TIP Charity shops have Heaps of culinary items. for a few Dollars
and if you keep your eyes open some real Gems.
Mesh strainer? Heh. Sieve.
kitchen essentials. What is it with "top ten". It’s form over substance. In this case 11 would have been better. The most glaring omission is a good pan. Or how about 12 by adding another essential, a sheet pan. Ditch the thermometer for a can opener.
Do you go straight to cutting with those rusty knives or do you wash them first?
Where have I heard that music before?! Ik I’ve heard it but I can’t remember ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY
3:00 Chris Ramsey live solves the infamous kitchen tools puzzle…
Add two one-piece silicone spatulas, one big and one smaller one. They don’t cost much but are multi-purpose and save a lot of money as they scrape almost everything clean. Less food waste and washing up.
Since when is the salt a tool ?? lol
As a chef I would recommend looking into a cutting board that comes with colour coded mats. The mats make cleaning super easy
It’s kinda funny to randomly hear the background music go "enchantée… dancer… garçon…"
Is that a cat sitting on top of his head?
Using Dutch oven for Indian curry – may be a bad idea. Carbon steel wok – shear the meat or veg and then spice or vice versa.
Man that camera guy needs to learn how to zoom and get out of shot
This dude needs to wash his dirty tools properly 🤢
