Chef Reviews Vintage Kitchen Gadgets
thank you hello everyone today very exciting we have a chef Ben and a normal Jamie and they are going to be reviewing some vintage and antique kitchen gadgets boys lift the closure number one Guillotine yeah with a will with a with a wheelbarrow handle oh wow I wasn’t even looking no but I knew where you were and it is literally it’s a slice out of some sort how sharp is it Adventure sharp enough but it’s not razor sharp but the more importantly it’s thin and sturdy so are we thinking uh sliced meats or sliced bread
it’s square whatever goes through it is square has a right angle because it would sit in this as you push through yeah like spam corned beef you’re okay if you’re at I’m okay boys this is the rad bad bread slicer bread this Guillotine style blade is perfect for cutting bread at any thickness you desire featuring a stainless steel blade wooden handle and Boards it can also be used for cutting food such as bread cheese vegetables and meat so radvad are a Danish company and they were founded in the mid 1700s as a group of Mills
these Mills included a sharpening Mill which led to the company producing knives and other kitchenware around 1890 the Danish Factory at radbad began to produce their original cast iron bread slices and soon
again that’s more squashing than cutting at a slow speed yeah what happens if we do it at a fast speed nice nice wow that is very good oh look at that excellent oh I broke it Ben that was gonna last you apocalypse apocalyptic you are the apocalypse no we’re good we’re good do you want to try some other things I think we smashed the crap yeah I think we’ve got we’ve got the hang of that I think that’s worked that’s worked no much more satisfying it just cuts through like butter oh that’s better that’s good
oh yeah it is better quick is better I know bit chorizo slowly slowly if it’s a firm charcuterie um doesn’t meet anything it’s got nothing to me to cut against I’m not sure it was made for chorizo I’d like to see a pineapple Berry would you yeah pineappleberry top of pineapple very satisfying very satisfying boys what do you think I’ve got mixed thoughts it requires some dedication doesn’t it I think it’s what we’ve found thinking about his application this presumably was more in the home as opposed to in a bakery whereas now you can buy
loaf whole or you can have the bakery slice it perfectly for you I imagine it would work better with denser bread like that you would find in scandi countries like Rye breads sticky breads don’t you think about like a ham like a roast ham yeah and then it looks much more like a meat slice that you’d find in a butcher’s or a deli counter it’s in pretty good working order isn’t it obviously it’s probably not as sharp as it was from day one no but there is a screw here and a screw here you could
take the blade out and sharpen it easy do you want to Hazard a guess at how much I paid for it 60 pounds reckon this goes for a cool 80 pounds bargain I paid 49.99 for it this bit that kept falling off is in fact on a screw that adjusts your cutting slice and then you push this through until it meets that and then all your slices are the same every single time and you can adjust that with a screw see so simple but genius well boys is this built to last or best left in
the past you introduced it as a bread slicer for that it should be left in the past but I think it is built to last for cheese and meats I reckon we’ve bettered this now with technology and materials this is best left in the past it’s a class oh oh it’s of an era where this color or like avocado bathrooms was a thing in the 70s a little different yeah oh look we’re cutting stuff out it’s either a suction it’s a plunge it’s either sucking something out or it’s pushing something through is it to create
shapes of food yes for kids for cutting stuff out I wonder if it is like cake pops and I know that is also a relatively modern thing but you’re cutting out bits of sponge and then does these have a stick through it rather than a plunger this is The Classy cuisine canopy maker this was sold in selfridges you make canopies the easy way with the classy Cuisine canape maker each of the four shapes is safe and simple to use as a pastry cutter simply press and lift onto your food of choice until the container is
full pop a cocktail stick through the middle and gently press the button to remove the canopy it’s even better than I thought so you’re not just putting this into a piece of bread and going like all right I’ll do that over there you’re layering you’re layering up Jamie this this is a four-tiered sandwich you can make in a single mouthful that’s amazing this actually came with a recipe book would you like to have a look so flick through to the first three or four pages and it’ll tell you how to make it salmon Supreme pate
provenza and it comes with what I think all cookbook should come with is diagrams bread baloney baloney baloney cheese cheese baloney baloney baloney bread that is a sandwich this of an era when you were trying to show off what’s odd is I think it’s come full circle and I feel like these things are back in they are particularly this one for festive occasions have bread dyed any color your bakery will do this for you if you give them a few days notice and the cook the play Battle we have a selection of ingredients in front
of you you have two caterpay pumps each get chopping I got this frittata Jamie’s making a sandwich of course a little bit of cheese so plunge it up press down into your chosen ingredient and that will cut it out then you go to your next ingredient press down the bread moves up the second ingredient comes in and then you insert a toothpick plunge down all comes out oh Evers that is a classy canopy talk us through your flavor combinations path right cheese and pineapple classic cheese and pineapple sandwich unusual could be interesting do I want
a whole one no I want to experiment with the small one first before I make a problem I’m going to get with pastry yummy but I’ve done cream cheese on my pastry did I want to do that I love that this is making them think we’re having a lot of fun with this but imagine now you’ve actually got all of the things laid out in front of you I reckon this is genius right now no how have you done that I quite like it what’s happened there is really special levels and it’s going to be
a surprise whether you want to end up with this result or not is a question however if you try to do it by hand you would struggle to get something so uniform Beautiful by getting uniform layers you end up with exactly what they have on the box I am fascinated by is that there was a time you would go around someone’s house and they would serve you one of that and your reaction would be all fancy yeah and you have to guess the layers and work out what it is I can see how you could
knock out 20 of these you know five for every guest don’t have to give them dinner that’s job done it’s a canopy party and I think smoked salmon cream cheese and puff pastry maybe without the olive that he’s a kid’s canopy I got my cheese and pineapple the bread elevated it’s so ridiculous we’ve got one for each of the guys what have we got here Jay Mike you’ve got um egg frittata cheese and pineapple uh Barry you’ve got bliny uh cream cheese surprise oh there’s a surprise it’s a pickled onion yeah you’ll notice on the
um on the front of the box it says the price two pounds 99 and quite a lot very roughly calculated this comes in around about 37 quid new but how much you think we paid for it the box has been sellotaped back together which suggests it’s been used enjoyed and loved 9.99 12.99 12 pounds 99 apples see what I said nailed it well done good so boys The Classy Cuisine canopy maker was it built to last or should we leave it in the past I was always taught never to play with your food but when
it’s this fun I think that’s allowed uh and therefore real to last I think it’s one of those ones that’s had its time and I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar came back round for the next couple of years but at the moment this could be left in the past number three brace yourselves lift the cloche looks like a bit of agricultural it does yeah before I’ve even lifted the cloth may I lift the second class yeah the hell is this oh my word so uh maybe it will help if you can construct it it
looks a bit like the um the corkscrews those guys an extravagant bottle opener yeah worth watching out this didn’t come with instructions so we can tighten up this and this is pump action or a seesaw the only thing I recognize is this that’s got to go into something that is for someone nozzle of sorts yes okay for these should that have been on there or is that oh this now this goes on here yes fantastic isn’t it do you have to put anything on top or can you just what do you think but it’s got
upward motion why would you want upward motion you got to put something on it yeah and then do that painful do that like that oh but you’ve got to do double-handed boys have here is a historical donut filler you fill the bowl with filling and you push down upon the springs and the suction takes the filling up the pipe and pumps it into the middle of whatever you have placed on top and because of the shape that would also puncture it so puncture puncture plunge plunge and you’ve jammed inside of both oh I’ve never heard
the term to jammed unless used in a musical sense there is no other thing to do but try it a few thoughts straight off if you’re at home making donuts there you can’t make two or three or four you have to make a batch with a dozen or so we think this is uh this was made for industrial purposes hence the size of the bucket well small bakeries but yes certainly if you’re doing like 48 of them we really tried to do extensive research over this gadget we think it dates back to the early 1900s
it wouldn’t necessarily have been used for donuts filling pastries Etc can’t even find the country where it may have originated from right tell us how much pressure you’re going for we want to get we want to get it until the custard’s in the nozzle the question is is it going to even work those who pump together you know this is friendship here there’s no vacuum though so I’m not sure how this is going to work oh stupid question yeah well stupid question I thought maybe it wouldn’t go without the suction of something over it putting
something over the top yep yeah oh God right I like it oh my God no no should we try one at the same time but on different plungers Ready Steady peace yeah but weighty pumps one two three no mine can still go I think I’ve got more in my one two three four oh four can I do a fifth five oh maybe you’ve not got the suction on that oh yeah it’s bulbous I felt that one grow oh my goodness suddenly this does make sense every time you’ve bought jamfield donuts and they have a hole
in one end yeah this is why Donuts are first mentioned in the cookbook cushion maestroy Mastery of the kitchen published in Nuremberg in 1485 and it offers a recipe for gertuful capfin sugar-free stuffed fried dough cakes so what’d you think of the gadget I think it’s brilliant it’s one of the best Ventures guys you’ve ever it’s up there with the Sodastream explosion on James yeah that is more custard than are you ready to see how much custard he is squeezing to his donuts oh my God you could not do that by syringe or by Piping
Bag you need a vintage Gadget what took us a World Cup how much do you think I paid for this donut or pastry filler from the 1900s I reckon something like this is still in use in small artisanal bakeries I don’t even think this is yet like a museum piece but I reckon you paid 45 pounds for it oh I had 50 pounds in my head I paid 120 pounds for this it’s in good condition let’s see how a 10 pump donut eats this one is less pumped but I can stick it’s bulbous oh no
great Donuts great Gadget well with that in mind there’s only one question left and that is is this here to last or best left in the past oh we’ve still got a bucket of custard so it’s here to last definitely here to last that is great well a big thank you to those of you who suggested that we review those particular gadgets if you have any more antique or vintage gadgets that you’d like us to review with our chef and our normal then comment down below and let us know and if you like this video
