Kitchen Gadgets Tested | Clever or Never
Today we review loads of gadgets so you can decide if they are clever or if you should never buy them. The best kitchen gadgets in my opinion should save time, make a hard job easier and not take up too much space in the kitchen. Some gadgets looks like they will do just that, but when you try them the fail miserably. Others impress beyond expectations. Watch the video to see how they perform.
Fixie Bike Pizza Cutter
Source: We purchased this on sale at a surf store but they can also be found here: bike pizza cutter
My vote: Never/Clever It is pretty, a conversation starter and a nice looking gift. But a normal pizza cutter is better at getting the job done.
Pineapple Corer and Slicer
Source: Amazon I suggest you get a metal one, see the video for a demo of both pineapple corer
My vote: Clever, not only does it cut the pineapple beautifully you also get left with the shell of the pineapple to use to fill with fruit salad or drinks.
Which Cake Leveler is Best?
Sources:
Two small knife attachments – eBay
Wire leveler Wilton Cake Leveler (this one works well with soft cakes, if you have a denser cake or a thicker crust on your cake you’ll need to use something tougher)
Large serrated leveler Large Cake Leveler make sure you have room to store this one.
Circle stainless steel leveler Cake Slicer (Silver)
My vote: Clever, some are much better than others, see the video for the review
Automatic Stirrer
Possibly the worst gadget we’ve tested, I’m not even going to link you to a source. Don’t waste your money on this one.
My vote: Never

If you have never had a Smore before you really need to try them with a marshmallow toasted over a fire. They have always been a campfire or fireplace treat as far as I know. Just toast them on a long stick and the outside with get a brown crust and the inside will be melty. It really adds more flavor.
The key to microwaving is to have moister for most things. If you are heating up a muffin or something that is a little old or would normally get dried in the microwave, mist it with a little water and it will be soft and delicious.
Thanks Genie.
How do I find halal marshmellow
Hi Daniya, According to the cadbury website Pascal pink or white marshmallows are Halal.
OMG, I’ve only gotten to the broken arm story and this is the best video ever so far!
Always love when Dave is on, though I don’t believe he is being entirely truthful about the pizza cutter.
Ann u should do a marvel cake or star wars cake
Hi Brian, In fact Ann has. Find them here: https://www.howtocookthat.net/public_html/marvel-avengers-cake/ & https://www.howtocookthat.net/public_html/?s=star+wars
when you put some crunchy dough in the microwave it comes out all soggy, it loses it´s crunchynes, but when you also put some water in a glass or cup, it remains crunchy, so maybe that´s why the s´mores gadget needs water in it, to keep the cracker crunchy
It might be that.
I agree with Anya. I had a big smile on my face throughout. Just know my grandkids would love the exploding cupcake though!
Oh my goodness, you two are too funny!! Thanks for the giggles this morning ?
