One note on the grippers: Don't underestimate your feeling of confidence with an item. If someone doesn't feel confident in the item, they're less likely to use it, no matter how actually useful or safe the item is. If an item doesn't instill you with confidence when you use it, then that's an improvement they can make. With the gripper itself, I would suggest widening the jaws by about 1/2 in. on each side. I feel that would significantly improve the feeling of stability you get when using the item, without making it ridiculously large
I purchased the gripper clips for use with my Instant Pot...they are now in the trash. After 2 uses they fell apart and the rubber end on one of them has never been seen since the second use. I don't think anyone ate it but the chili was really good so who knows.

"I've had quite a few people tell me 'you've got to try this apple corer!'" This might be the first time in history that sentence has ever been said.
Here is an idea for a video, as you mentioned, the other bag dispenser you tried was so bad it didnt end up even in a video. If you happen to film any products like that, that don't end up becoming a video, maybe save them and then at one point just make a compilation, like "5 kitchen gadget fails" or something. But great video, I know I have a kitchen drawer stuffed to the brim with bags. and something like that would work perfectly. Quick and easy to "store" empty bags, and just as easy to get again. Thanks again, I always enjoy watching your Freakin Reviews. :)
I've had that corer for about 3 years. It's been great for coring jalapeños for poppers and atomic buffalo turds, and it's tough enough to core a raw potato for potato bombs. Great product.

1. Oh my, my apple corer... What jagged teeth you have! 2. We used a similar device at Pizza Hut to pull the pans out of the oven. Derived from a blacksmith tool that held the hot metal. 3. I really like the bag caddie. Been using mines for 20yrs+ strong. Have mines mounted with screws in the utility room. 4. GREAT REVIEWS AS ALWAYS SIR!!!
What I use as grocery bag dispenser is actually just an empty roll of paper towel. I also use 3M strips and stick it inside my cabinet door. Note: you have to hold the bottom part when you refill it with plastic just so it won't push the plastic bags that's already inside out. It works perfectly for me and it's free.

Was just looking today if you have posted anything and this pops up. Nice.

Those pot holders are a must for camping for all the pots that don’t have a handle (backpacking sets) there are other similar for camping but they scratch the pots specially if they’re nonstick, also when you’re cooking on the fire pit no other holder is going to save your hands, if you’re solo camping and eating directly from the pot just lock them and there’s your semi-permanent handle just don’t cook with them on, less things to wash when there’s very limited water available. I’ve used them extensively and feel very comfortable and safe. I use them at home too, getting a hot pizza from the oven on the pizza tray and I can go on and on.

I like you're content man! I watch every video you put out.
I'd definitely be a bit concerned about the bag dispenser being held in place by the adhesive backing. Less that the tape itself will fail, and more like it would just rip the paint right off the wall. 3M doesn't mess around when it comes to their products, from what I've seen. Their adhesive based products in particular tend to be consistently chart topping in product testing, I think. Has two attachment points I think it was? That would mitigate the risk a bit,

i can answer you simply and easily. being a millions subs youtuber require 3 things. 1 - overreacting constantly on what your doing or what's going on. 2 - constantly pushing your subscribers on top of what is going on (AKA, calling and asking the subscribers constantly when you try something. Wich is extremly annoying but mandatory for big youtubers.) 3 - being not honest and push everything to the top to get money in return and reputation sharing from sponsors/creators of what you'r showing. fact is, this channel do the complete opposite of this. That's simply why he will never go at the high level of youtubers, but that's also why some people love him and his job. All my youtubers i m subscribed to are not overreacting and such. they are cool guys doing cool stuff. and pretty much none of them (only 2 or 3) have 1 millions subs or more.
All three products look like winners to me. I like the Gripper Clips the most. I'm tired of being burned when removing stuff from my toaster oven! This might solve that problem. The price seems reasonable too. 😊 Thanks for your reviews! I've bought a couple of things you've previously reviewed and I am happy with them.
Just subscribed because I freakin' love to watch your reviews! Would love to see you do a review of laundry detergent sheets like Tru Earth, Earth Breeze, Kind, etc.- your reviews are so thoughtful and thorough and I trust your opinions. You look like a guy who loves clean laundry!
I have the grippers and they work most of the time, you do need to be careful if you are gripping something that is wet or has condensation from steam on it because they will slip right off. I like the bag holder, think I might have to get that one.
The gripper clips are outs this world. I have an all metal one. The little “rubber” thingy in the prong part. Comes out really easily becomes non useful but the apparatus works great without. I don’t use to carry just remove from wave. Mostly I use for instapot
@mariestark392
Жыл бұрын
Instapot should come out with these.
I bought the gripper clips over a year and a half ago, and I love them! The silicone heads pop out for cleaning and the spring between the handles comes off easy to really clean inside the handles if they get dirty. I use them for microwave and my air fryer food. There is a different set on Amazon that are all metal and they are meant for deep pots like the Instant pot liner, steamers, and the larger pots on stoves. I have both sets, they both work perfect. The green ones sit right next to the microwave and air fryer. I use them the most, at least every other day.
I have a similar bag dispenser and it's so nice having them compressed in one small location! I'd definitely recommend it. Even my dad, who is super frugal loves it
I have those exact grippers! They’re great for reaching in & pulling a Pyrex dish out of the pressure cooker or air fryer!
Three great items. Going to buy them asap. I had an apple corer, and it actually broke, so I'm about to try this one. Also love those grips for hot plates. These were 3 great reviews. Thank you !! Love all 3 items.
The bag dispenser has existed for years. I bought one in Ikea, some 15-20 years ago. Still use it too 😊
After your reviews, a purchased the corer and the bag keeper. Love both. Thanks for the reviews.
I love that corer. I use it primarily to hole out potatoes for various recipes, but it cores apples, jalapeños, and more, and to make cheese tubes as well.
I have that exact bag dispenser, though I got it for pretty cheap, maybe half the price. Being in an Asian household, we have all sorts of plastic bags galore, so that thing is actually pretty useful for clearing a cabinet that would otherwise be filled up with bags.
Oh that bag dispenser is PERFECT for me....I haven't used a real garbage bag in years. Always felt like a waste to just chuck grocery bags that had no issues like broken handles or holes. Saved a fortune on trash bags.
I bought the grippers. Used them yesterday to take the grate out of my gas grill after I finished cooking. Worked just fine.
Love ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ that apple corer!!!! Glad you tried it Old hands make it hard to use a standard ap - but I think that handle might be the ticket! Thanks!
I recently bought the gripper clips. They work great getting stuff out of my air fryer oven. Very pleased with them
I like all products you tested ! I'm sure I'm going to get all 3. I come here if I'm thinking on buying a product . Your my go to before I buy.
I'm def getting those grippers. I'll use it with my airfyer oven. Pot holders just are too big and currently just fold up paper towels to get the tray out.
Always enjoy seeing kitchen gadgets😍
I've had the grocery bag dispenser for 10 years and it still looks great and we use it daily.
I've had a similar bag dispenser ( I looked and can't see the brand, but it's identical) for at least 16 years. I used screws to mount it and it's still working like a charm. Definitely got my money's worth! The apple corer looks great. I like baked apples, so I wonder how it would perform if you don't core the apple completely?
@TheFallenFaob
Жыл бұрын
I wonder with the apple corer if you could use a pairing knife to make a small cut into the center then push it down to where the cut is and only some of the core will come out
I don't care much for corers but that one with the trigger looks great, and the caddie I would totally get but hanged with some screws.
They've had those clamp things in Japan for pots and pans for quite a while it helps with the storage cuz it's just the bowl and then the handles are removable.
I love the longer videos these short ones leave me wanting more :/
We have a bag dispenser and love it, ours is white plastic and is a bit narrower which I think is better since the one you got looks like it may be hard to pull out bags if it gets really low since the bogs might get lost in the bottom, they are super nice and simple though and replace having a bag of bags
With the gripper clips, you should have used trays and plates full of food. No one takes out just an empty plate out of the microwave.
Oh I am so tempted by those gripper things.
That apple corer looks effective, I might pick one up.
I’ve had the bag holder for 10 years and going strong. I’ve had the apple core tool for 3+ years and still as sharp as new (medium use).
6:20 like that sequence / walking test. Made me laugh and showed my wife too.

Yep! I have a cloth bag with a hanging piece at the top and it’s on her inside of my laundry room door. I’ve had it for years but I still end up with too ma y of those hated plastic bags - I try very hard not to use them as I prefer my reusable bags - husband won’t change!🤭🤭🤭
I really love your reviews. I will probably buy bag dispenser.
A few years back, I designed a bag dispenser similar to that one, out of wood. You would put the gags in a slot at the top and pull them out from the bottom. I sold every one I made at the Flea market.
Been using the apple corer for about 4 years now and it's still going strong
I have that corer and man does it work well. Sometimes I don't get all the seeds out of the apple but it's so easy to just go in and scrape out the seeds. I say this product is a cut above the rest pun intended
Thanks for another 👍 review!
Instead of the gripper clips, try an Ove Glove. Also, we've had the exact same bag dispenser mounted to the pantry door for about 15 year. It's only ever used the adhesive and it's never fallen off or even budged slightly.
The grippers remind me of what we used as Flight Attendants back in the day. Entree dishes we cooked were very hot and loaded onto trays that were placed into the meal carts. When we served inflight we would use a similar item to remove the hot entrees and onto the meal tray, peel off the foil and to the Passenger. We looked good doing it and no burnt fingers. Entree dishes were stoneware style which held onto the heat. Not sure I would be comfortable living a large plate or pot with them.
We use those style grocery bags for our cats poo so we have a dispenser mounted next to their litter box. This is very handy except for the fact that occasionally they end up pulling all of the bags out 🤣🐱
The last item to me is “a no go” :) i use better quality bags with wooden handles for reuse.. i never buy plastic bags….
I used bag holder for about ten years until California banned single-use bags. I thought it was great. I have one recommendation when using it: hold the bag from the sealed end and fold up to the open end. This forces the air out. *IF* the bag has air in it, once in the unit getting compacted, the tend to burst along the seam, ruining the bag.
I watch the majority of ur reviews and enjoy them all. While watching this one I literally said out loud I have that lol. My bad dispenser is in my pantry so I'm not to concerned with finger prints. But yes the adhesive is not very good. I'd also suggest using a washer when installing.
The new apple corer looks like a very scary version of something a gyno uses 😬
@5:13 You'd have to plan forward in this case.... how are you going to put the plate down? You can on the edge of your counter... but what about putting it near the wall... the handles point downwards....you will have to half-way switch over to the other position...... But i like them! i think i'm gonna order a pair!
No fruit was damage in the making of this video!😂😂😂❤❤❤
the Gripper Clips look like the clips on jumper cables, had a baby with an old fashioned eyelash curler :)
Ha ha I use it to cut a hole in my biscuit dough to make airfry donuts!! But it's great for apples too.
The gripper clips would be great if they had ratcheting locks on them. As someone who has arthritis in my hands, the ratcheting lock mechanism would be great for me. Still gonna grab a set as they are for the air fryer. I have gotten so many pot holders dirty from grabbing the hot trays and sticking them into the food.
The gripper clips work great for removing the instant pot liner
Would like more information on the apple corer and cupcakes if I heard right. All these gadgets were great
I watch all your reviews, whether I would use the product or not just because I love the way you do it! ☺
I keep plastic shopping bags in a tub by the door, and every few weeks we take them to a local thrift store so they don't have to buy any.
Gripper clips are great for taking the liner pot out of a pressure cookers or ninja crockpots
The corer also seems like it'd fit the 4th criteria of a good kitchen gadget - easy to clean. Cause if you spend more time cleaning the gadget than it saves, you won't use it.
I use the gripers to remove the pot from my instant pot. Both grippers have lost the gripping pads so they don't work as well and you need to use 2 grippers.
I have the apple corer and love it. I just cut my slices after coring.
A lot of people don’t know that every part of the apple is edible and nutritious, including the core, the seeds and even the stem. So you can actually eat the entire apple and chew up the seeds and the core and it will not in the least hurt you in any way, and you will get the added bonus of additional nutrients. You just have to get over the notion that you were raised to think these things were not edible. But they are!
small suggestion. you should give a comparison try to various heat detector (thoses kind of pistol that you target some heat/warm zone and it tell you how hot it is.). they are very various price range and style. i m curious tosee if they all work nice or if some are way off compare to others.
I'd love to see a review for the youtuber hyped up Helix mattress. I know it's probably a long shot since it is a mattress after all but I'm so curious if they are worth it.
I have the apple corer and love it. Then you can peel the apple if you want. The other gadgets look great too.Thanks!

Put stuff inside a cupcake after it's done baking cause heating up fillings would ruin them and the cake batter wouldn't rise
I just cut a smooth, 2 1/2" hole near the top of an empty, clean gallon milk jug, and stuff my grocery bags into that. It holds a lot more than 30 bags, and it costs Pennie's.
In NY there are now no plastic grocery bags. If you get take out food you may get one and Tops sells their unusable grocery bags packaged up.
I am wondering what people's favorite apples are - mine is Gala.
The best ideas are often simple 👍
Thanks for the video. I hope you have a great day.
Ah, I guessed the apple corer right on twitter but didn't get the holder. I thought it was gonna be like a olive or cherry pitter lol
I loved and used the heck out of my bag dispenser for years. Unfortunately when I moved to California (from Las Vegas) the use of plastic bags is so discouraged that I've completely moved over to full re-use bags. Now, I'm on my last few plastic bags and I covet them like they are made out of gold. Those plastic bags were so useful from everything from trash can liners, to make-shift dog poop bags, to wet paint roller preservers and on and on.

You are most welcome anytime you find you need them. I am a bit sorry you are in Calif. though😂😂. For so many reasons (yes I’m teasing). I lived in Phoenix for most of my life and wouldn’t go back for so many reasons - every time I see the real Vegas it looks exactly like Phoenix - same weather. Keep using those reusable bags - I keep hoping that eventually they will be outlawed everywhere!!!!! And I do remember when it was thought that those,paper bags were so bad for the environment and trees that we were saddled with those loathsome plastic ones.
Now I have a use for my empty tissue boxes. A bag dispenser.
A while back when there was a Bed Bath & Beyond where i live they sold those bag dispensers and they were charging 45 to 50 dollars for it i was like you're crazy for charging that much for something like that.
Most of the containers tested with the gripper clips would be easier to hold with silicone mini potholders.
I had the Simple Human bag thang... I loved it! Simple Human products, however, are a bit pricy for those of us on a budget. Mine was a gift for a new apartment, so I didn't realize the price until I tried to replace it. (It was in a box that the movers lost. 🥺) Regardless... The quality is worth the price, IMO.
I've never seen such shinny fruit. They look like they were buffed in a body shop.
I mount that bag dispenser under the kitchen sink!
Hi dear, I always tie a knot in such plastic bags before I store them, I think that makes it a little easier. Keep up the good work and thanks very much. In our country people are very against plastic (pollutes the oceans extremely badly!!) and so I reuse every bag until it falls apart, so to speak ;-) XXXXXXX Pinkie
Instead of a grocery bag dispenser, we make grocery bag donuts and toss them into a bin.
I'm most impressed by the fact you have 25 single use plastic shopping bags!
I got anxiety watching you lift the full pot of water on top of your glasstop range.Not sure why I shared that.😜, 🙏 thanks for another great review!
The worst with standard apple corers, is that you can’t get the core out and it rarely takes the whole core out. I love this new one if I want the apple in one piece. If cutting it in two is OK, the best corer in the world is a melon baller spoon, leaves the apple so pretty! I use gripper clip a lot! Esp for lifting out the Instant Pot inner pot and straight walled bowls. I do own a different type though, which is made from thick, brushed steel, works great for many things the green one isn’t too great for. LOVE THEM! Got mine cheap on aliexpress.
Just by chance, I found your site and Grippers purchased it on Amazon. It arrived the next day, and when I used it (today), I was very sorry that it was too unstable and solid. Immediately, we did the return procedure. Unfortunately, it is a product that is not recommended for others.
Oooh I'm gonna get that apple corer. I've cut myself trying to poke the core out of the one that I have. Only downside is that it looks like it might be wasting a little bit, especially on smaller apples. .
