As someone who's actually from the literal home of the hot wing Buffalo, NY, I have to say those wings look nothing like a real hot wing. Don't get me wrong, they look and probably are delicious but just as I wouldn't go around saying a Chicken pot pie is a English meat pie, you can't really say those are hot wings. (Might not be the best example, but hopefully you get the idea)
To be a bit more specific, Hot Wings traditionally are deep fried chicken wings that are usually cut into two pieces (Orthe flats and drumsticks as they are more colloquially known in Buffalo) and then after frying, they are then dropped into bowl into a very simple yet amazingly addicting sauce consisting of only two things. Hot sauce and melted butter. Depending on how spicy you want it, you add more better and or less sauce, but usually 2 parts melted butter to 1 part hot sauce is the norm. If you want the most authentic tasting wing sauce, you really got to use Frank's hot sauce but any similar simple or basic hot sauce would be fine.
Anything else isn't really Hot Wings they're just Wings. That doesn't mean they aren't good or tasty and/or that you should only cook wings one way. Nearly every place that sells Wings here, sells a variety of different kinds but if you ask specifically for Hot Wings you'll get what I described above. Chicken wings are truly amazing, my personal favorite part of the Chicken, and they're just so many unique and down right delicious ways you can prepare them.
I just really wish more people around the world knew exactly what the original Hot Wings are and had the chance to try them out for themselves. I've known so many people who thought they knew what they were or tried them before, but when they actually got to try the real thing were just so surprised and shocked by how different they were to what they've had before.
I would love to one day see you guys cook'em on one of your videos and to find out what you think of them!

The cordless stirrer may be slightly overrated. In that gentle steady stirring isn't a common application to start. Let alone encouraging walking away and potentially allowing burning. Risotto is kind of a perfect application for it. Be interesting to see it get its own video where it's used for several different dishes to see how it does.
Only slightly overrated because it feels like it'd be useful to have despite the limitations.
Toasters are one of those interesting appliances that cost a bunch for fancy integrated gizmos. Alongside other daily use gadgets like coffee machines and rice cookers. The range of price could be as low as 20 for a barebones cheap model to 500+ for the top of the line variant.
The reason I call them interesting though is that sometimes you get what you pay for with these appliances. Going cheapest means a plastic piece of junk that's likely to break after a year of poorly cooking your food. Going to a midpoint price range, researching the product, and asking if you'll use it heavily enough to justify it's features can get you the best value.
For example, the toaster in this video. Just taking whats in the video. Only 2 slots which may be a bit short. Apparently decent performance/heat applications. Price is about 150 US, which combined with not being a 4 slot toaster suggests it's selling on gizmos. I don't go for toast often enough to justify this kind of toaster for myself. A cheaper toaster without the gizmos but keeping the performance would suit me far better.

I can't believe I am trying to defend that crazy toaster, but if you are the kind of person who eats toast (or something you can toast in a toaster, like those crumpets) for breakfast at least 4 times a week, then it might be a good investment. I've had some cheap toasters that just fall apart over time and if this can hold up to that, then we would be in business.

Maybe it's just me or I'm just misunderstanding something but I'm kind of confused at what he said 2: 43, wouldn't a non-stick surface mean that it actually would be slippery or slide around? If you want something to stay in place, you'd usually want it to grip or stick to surfaces.

That stirrer would do nicely for porridge and other things like that too from the look of it and as someone with chronic pain and fatigue 30 minutes of stirring is a lot for me and I'd begin to get tired and painful. With that I could have a little break in the middle.

Would be interesting to see a only for Microwave gadgets video. Specially on a small studio apartment most of those gadgets sure do wonders, I've got a pressure cooker and a rice cooker and they're amazing but what about the other ones?

I've never made a risotto, so that gadget just might do the trick for me! Also keen on that toaster, but mine has lasted all 23 years of my marriage and only just starting to go wonky on one side. hard sell on that one.

Gotta say I've never drunk a beer outside the pub and thought I'd like this to have more foam, seems like an utterly pointless product for 95% of people

Id love to see if that stirrer would work on a stew or soup or something you can slow cook all day on the hob if you dont have a slow cooker
