Testing Viral Kitchen Gadgets ft the Speedboat Mug Stirrer

Introduction

In today's kitchen gadget testing video, we dive into several interesting products, kicking off with Leu's Classic Creamy. This versatile kit allows you to create your own homemade ice cream with an array of flavors and toppings, complete with a dunking pot and sticks. Despite being a compact size, it reflects the rising trend of gourmet ice creams, making it a welcome addition to the kitchen.

Classic Creamy Ice Cream Maker

Starting off, we received our first gadget, the Classic Creamy, a compact kit designed to make ice cream in different flavors. The set includes a silicone mold that can be microwaved for easy chocolate dipping. After preparing some Cornish vanilla ice cream, the fun began. The mold features holes that help grip the ice cream when dunking it into melted chocolate, mimicking popular cone shapes.

Once made, the chocolate was a little too warm for a smooth coating, causing some challenges in achieving that perfect cover. After a few attempts, I decided to let the molds freeze longer before the final dunk into chocolate.

Nitro Surge by Guinness

Next, we explored the Nitro Surge, a gadget by Guinness that aims to replicate the rich, creamy pour experienced at the pub. The device requires charging, lights up, and is designed to enhance the pouring experience from the Nitro Surge cans. After preparing the Guinness, it was time to try the gadget. The pouring technique, a two-part process allowing the drink to settle, surprisingly delivered a more authentic pub-like experience than expected.

Though it didn't achieve the desired dome top, the taste was notably smoother compared to conventional canned Guinness, resulting in a more enjoyable beverage. Despite its gimmicky feel, it was ultimately a success.

Dream Farm O Grater

Moving on, I introduced the O Grater by Dream Farm, an innovative grater with two sides—one side designed for grating and the other for a spiral effect. The design featured shoelaces instead of plastic covers, a quirky but effective precaution. The grater performed exceptionally well, with the ability to securely rest on mixing bowls without the need for hands, offering ease of use that is particularly important for busy kitchens.

Speedboat Mug Stirrer

One of the more whimsical gadgets was the Speedboat Mug Stirrer, aimed at stirring beverages in an entertaining way. Unfortunately, the execution didn't meet my expectations. The gadget broke in the process, transforming it more into an amusing yet ineffective water gun rather than a functional mixer. While the concept was promising, the build quality let it down, showcasing a significant difference between high-quality and budget gadgets in the market.

Citrus Plus Juicer and Grapefruit Tool

Afterward, we examined the Citrus Plus Juicer, designed to make citrus juicing efficient and effective with an added spout for easy pouring. It’s surprisingly effective in yielding a good amount of juice from various citrus fruits. Then, the Grapefruit Tool, initially met with skepticism, proved surprisingly effective in extracting grapefruit wedges once the method was adjusted slightly.

Microwave Hot Pot

Lastly, we tested the Microwave Hot Pot, a classic cooking gadget made from non-stick stoneware, designed to steam food quickly and with minimal water. This gadget impressed, successfully poaching eggs, cooking sweet potatoes, and even making garlic prawns in a short amount of time, all while delivering excellent flavor and texture.

Conclusion

Overall, today’s testing yielded varying results. While some gadgets dazzled with their effectiveness and innovation, others fell short of expectations. The Classic Creamy and Nitro Surge were standout successes, whereas the Speedboat Mug Stirrer demonstrated how essential quality and design are for kitchen gadgets.
