00:00You see these blades? They have notched corners to make your cutting experience smoother.
00:06The front edge notch helps with separating blades during manufacturing, while the trailing
00:11edge notch helps the blade glide easily. And a fun fact – that notch on the front also
00:17helps you spot unused sections of the blade – just a little visual indicator to make
00:22your life easier!
00:23When it comes to silver vs. black blades, they're both made from the same stuff. But
00:28black blades are sharper and are better suited for cutting through tough materials, while
00:33silver blades strike a balance between cutting power and durability. If you want that extra
00:39cutting oomph, go for black. Oh, almost forgot – the only thing those blades aren't meant
00:44to cut is food. It has a rust-proofing oil coating, which is not safe for humans.
00:52Check this one out – it's totally giving me childhood vibes! I remember my grandma
00:57having tomato-shaped pin cushions just like this. And sometimes they would look more like
01:02a salad, with a little pepper thrown in there. Well, believe it or not, this salad actually
01:08has a purpose! The tomato keeps your pins in place, while the pepper keeps them sharp.
01:14Those peppers are filled with sand, which helps keep your pins nice and sharp. And it's
01:19not just sand – crushed walnuts can also be used to keep your pins in tip-top shape.
01:26Look at this multiple pocket tool and this little hook on it. It's a bit of a mystery,
01:31but it's actually pretty handy. I counted at least 4 different applications.
01:351. You can use it to carry all sorts of awkward stuff, like camping gear or heavy parcels.
01:422. Need to twist some wire or play around with knots? The parcel hook has got you covered.
01:483. This hook can save the day with those stubborn zippers, like the ones on your luggage.
01:534. It's great for pretending to be a budget version of Captain Hook.
01:58If you know more applications, let me know in the comments!
02:02Apple users, with this feature, you'll never get laundry surprises again.
02:07Now, I bet you've had this situation at least once in your life. You wash your stuff,
02:12and when you take it out of the washing machine, the size seems to only fit your cat.
02:18Your iPhone camera can actually translate those funky laundry symbols for you.
02:22There are two requirements, though. You must have iOS 17, and your phone must be in English.
02:28Take a photo of the care label, go to the Photos app, and see the details of the image.
02:33Everything will be automatically decoded and explained to you.
02:39Many toasters come with nifty removable crumb trays at the bottom. It's super important to
02:44give these trays a good clean every now and then to keep your toaster running smoothly
02:49and avoid any potential fire hazards. Just pop them out, shake out the crumbs,
02:54and you're good to go. Where you shake them out is up to you.
02:58Those little compartments on your gas pump aren't just for show – they're actually there to hold
03:02your cap while you're filling up. This nifty feature keeps things tidy and prevents any
03:08spills or drips on the handle. So, say goodbye to messy refueling experiences and hello to a
03:14cleaner pump. Plus, it makes the whole process way more convenient and efficient.
03:21Now I'll bet your oven gets so greasy and dirty sometimes that you can even hear it oink! Just
03:27kidding. I know you're a tidy person. Anyway, if you're looking for a way to bring your kitchen
03:32cleaning to a whole new level, here's a tip for you. Most oven doors have handy latches
03:38that let you pop the door off for easy cleaning, saving your poor back from the strain.
03:45When you're draining noodles or potatoes, there's no need to bother transferring everything to a
03:50colander in the sink. Just throw the colander right into the pot, hold it down, and pour the
03:56liquid out. It makes life so much easier, especially when you want to save that starchy
04:01water for recipes. It's a must for authentic pasta, by the way.
04:07So let's say you've snagged this gem at a thrift store a while back for just under a dollar.
04:12It's seen better days, serving as an ashtray, but you decide it's time to give it a new lease on
04:18life. Here's the lowdown on how to make it shine again. Mix up a solution of boiling water,
04:24baking soda, and table salt in a bowl lined with aluminum foil. Let the piece soak for about 15
04:31minutes, and repeat this process 3 times. In between soaks, gently scrub any rough spots
04:38with a microfiber cloth. After the final soak, dry the piece off and rub on some toothpaste,
04:44baking soda, and peroxide. Buff out any remaining tarnish with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
04:51Rinse it off, and now your piece is practically gleaming like a mirror!
04:57These aluminum foil boxes have nifty little tabs on the sides that make it super easy to grab a
05:03sheet without any hassle. It's like a fancy little bonus that makes the product a breeze
05:08and ensures you'll have a smooth sailing experience every time.
05:13Manual can openers often come with a handy built-in feature, also known as a bottle opener.
05:19It's like getting two tools in one. But did you know that this bottle opener actually has another
05:25useful function? It can help you loosen those stubborn hard-to-open jars. Simply lift the lid
05:31slightly at a couple of points with the bottle opener, and then watch it as it effortlessly
05:37twists right off. Yeah! Okay, I just found that, apparently, you're supposed to save the first and
05:45last slices of a loaf of sliced bread for last. It's like a bread hack or something. Apparently,
05:51those end pieces help keep the rest of the bread fresher for longer, and you shouldn't eat them
05:55until you've devoured the rest of the loaf. So, next time you're making a sandwich,
06:00save those heel slices for the very end. Even bread-eating needs a good strategy.
06:06Look at those blue levers on the top rack of your dishwasher. I was curious about them too,
06:11and it turns out they are actually water bottle sprayers. They help to ensure that
06:16your bottles get a thorough cleaning and rinse during the wash cycle.
06:22Many vegetable peelers have those little scoops on top for taking out the eyes from potatoes.
06:27And here's a cool tip. You can actually use vegetable peelers in both directions to peel
06:32faster. But most people just stick to one direction. When using yellow mustard,
06:39make sure to push the lid of the bottle all the way open until you hear a satisfying click. This
06:45way, the lid will stay securely in place and won't get in the way when you're dispensing the mustard
06:50onto your food. It's a simple step that can make your condiment experience hassle-free and enjoyable.
06:56So there. You know that little hole at the end of your pot or pan? Well, it's not just for show.
07:04You can actually use it as a handy holder for your forks and spoons. Next time you're cooking
07:09up a storm in the kitchen, just pop your utensils in that convenient little hole and keep them close
07:15at hand. Okay, just a heads-up to remember to switch the direction of your ceiling fan for
07:22the changing weather, and to give it a good clean too. I've seen that a lot of folks found
07:27it helpful before to reverse the fan's direction by flipping a switch for different seasons. So
07:33this is just a friendly reminder to go ahead and do it again, pushing hot air down and pulling cold
07:39air up. When you're chowing down for some pizza, just tear off the top of the box and use it as a
07:47big old plate. You can even rip the box in half and fold it to save some leftovers for later.
