All these gadget's usefulness will depend on you. For everyone pointing out how it's unfair for a professional to judge how useful tools like these can be, it's how she views it and this is her experience with these gadgets. Just treat it as a review of what experience and problems you might encounter if you were to purchase the same product. Of course those who have disabilities which make it difficult/dangerous to handle a knife, may find these tools useful in cooking. Though from what I've seen, some of these gadgets do look like they require a lot of physical strength and motor skills just to use. If you can handle a knife and just haven't practiced using it often, then I'd recommend learning how use the knife, as it is indeed cheaper than buying multiple gadgets.

Sure many unitaskers are intended for the disabled. But these reviews help abled bodied people know what is worth their money and what will just waste kitchen space- presumably there are accessibility reviews out there, but these kitchen reviews are for the average person and it's okay that something that may be helpful for arthritis or limited mobility or some other disability is a waste of time and money and space for abled people, and it's okay that there are reviews out there letting people know that.

Chef trick for cutting up garlic and your hands smell of it a day afterwards - run you hands on stainless steel. Usually the faucet or sink walls, making sure you get all your exposed skin into contact with the metal. Not sure what it is about the chemical reaction, but it neutralizes the smell after one go, rather than scrubbing your hands red and still smelling like garlic.

Videos like this are kind of fun, but if you look at it realistically, what does a 2 second difference really mean? Even if cutting it by hand took one extra minute, who really cares? I would rather save the money and space, even if I am slightly less efficient. So I will have 5 minutes less to waste on YouTube or Netflix, whatever, probably better for me even.

Good comparison of gadgets Vs conventional methods. Personally, I prefer mastering one tool (the knife) rather than learning how to use/clean a bunch of different tools. The knife is ubiquitous, it can be found in every kitchen (useful if you are cooking in outside your own kitchen, like at a friend's place. The knife blade is also easier to sharpen.

I really appreciate that you didn't bash the people who buy unitaskers, since a large portion of the time they are designed for disabled people and marketed to abled people in order to ensure product is there for the people who need it! So thank you for your overall respectful and positive tone while giving constructive feed back about the products.

Did anyone else find it nauseating how she has to rush in each task! Not to mention that damn mess all over the place. Listen, no one is racing. NO ONE. Treat each tool as if you were an avg person and get real Times. And I would guess the product will work better. Also not everyone is a knife expert. Thats the learning curve you need to learn. SMH

One thing that is rarely addressed is the clutter, because these unitaskers will often just fill up your drawers and cupboards, especially if they're ones you'll use infrequently. Thinks like salad choppers and garlic crushers makes sense, but unless you eat shrimp often then a deveiner is just something that is gonna cause a mess

I like the idea of of this show, comparing tools with chefs skill. However, if one wants to know how useful they are, I think comparing an amature with these tools will ne more accurate. The chef wins most of the time because they are skilled enough that they do not need such tools but ordinary people might benefit from them.
