I brought a refurbished Vitamix and it is the best thing in the world to me, love it!!
It really is an amazing product! 😀 And getting it cheaper is even better!
where do u buy a repurposed vitamin from?
@@hellooutthere8956 I got mine from the website . Look in the reconditioned section.
sharon anderson I believe you can get them off the Vitamix website.
@@hellooutthere8956 The Vitamix has so many purposes there's no need to repurpose it. :-)
I've binge watched all of your videos, I just love you both so much and seriously appreciate your content and details in every video. Thanks for another banger, I've learned so much from you two
The Griddler was a shock! I'm glad your getting more use out of it tho 😁. I was worried to see Peef in the blender. Glad he made it out alive! Hehe
Once you start using your Instant Pot more it will totally replace your Crock pot and stove soup pot! The IP will = Krock pot! Love your videos!
You two are adorable, entertaining, and informative!!! How does it get any better than that!!??
YOU 2 ARE FABULOUS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING
I used to love my crock pot also. Once I got my instant pot I found myself using it more and more and the crock pot less and less. I love the delayed cook feature. I can put everything in before I leave for work and it's ready when I get home. My crock pot began collecting dust. Some nice lady is now using my crock pot that she bought at our yard sale. Now I have space for the mandolin I bought after watching your gadgets video!
When Brian said “like the mandolin if improperly used can be dangerous”, I thought he was referring to the mandolin, a dangerous stringed instrument.
Lol
You are a sweet couple ! I am learning lots of useful information by following you both. Thank you both.
I bought a refurbished vitamix last year and I use it every single day. I make popsicles, smoothies, golden milk (highly recommend), iced matcha latte with flax milk, oat milk etc. You can blend straight ice and make snow cones.
My most recent appliance is an omega juicer, I love doing juice cleanses, drinking green juices in the morning etc.
PS...the little kettle was adorbs!!!
I like the announcer voice, keep it! Also I'm really enjoying your videos.
Thank you very much! 😀I really enjoy doing my announcer voice. Even when I get to do voice over work, I don't get to do the Monster Jam voice all that often. 😀
-Brian
Great announcer voice, Brian! And, my fave is the doodad Jessica was using to make the long apple ribbon. Very cool! 👍
Can I just say your sooo cute together/ nice to each other. Couple goals... 😊
I'd love a dedicated video on recipes and usements for the Griddler. I kind of regret buying mine because I'm just not inspired to use if much. I need guidance! Thanks, Kids for all the fun here on CZcams.
I can't believe the air fryer didn't make the list! It's my most used appliance in my house (though I did just get a Ninja and am loving my first high speed blender!). I may have to look into a griddler.
I recently came across you. I'm not vegan, in fact my channel is a lot about Keto, but I sure enjoy you guys. You make me giggle.
I don't use my crockpot anymore. The instant pot has a slow cooker feature. Much love. .... I'm putting a grridler on my list of needed appliances. Great video.
I would love to see recipes using the spiralizer and veg/fruit sheeter. I have both but have not used them yet. Love you guys.
I prefer my vacuum blender over a traditional blender.
Also, these are just a few of my favorite, kitchen appliances.
1. Tea Kettle (electric)
2. Bamix (the best stick blender on earth) Always made in Switzerland, never China. And it does cost more than the others, but look up demos of the bamix being used. A lot of famous chefs use this stick blender because it really is the Rolls Royce of stick blenders.
3. Air Fryer (I use this one as much as number four).
4. Instant Pot (like you, mine gets used often. In fact, daily).
5. Rice Cooker (yes, it only does one thing but it does it so well. And it makes GABA rice too).
6. Pasta Machine
7. Food Process that is Made in France. Yes, the French gave us the food processor, and while mine is pricey, it's cool to watch it slice bananas paper thin. I don't know of another food processor that can do this.
Awesome choices! 😀 Thanks for the great list!
Which food processor do you have? I just watched a similar video from Pick up Limes and she highlighted a pretty awesome looking one that seems like the Cadillac of food processors (that I now totally want) so now I'm curious to know which one you speak of.
Buy the waffle plates for your griddler...make hash brown waffles!!😎
I didn't even know that was a thing! 😲I will add it to our list. 😀
Do you ever make falafel? I've heard you can make it in a waffle iron to avoid deep frying it.
I love my electric kettle, but that travel one ..ohhh La-la gotta get one!
#1 for me is the Instant Pot, no contest. Soooo much better than a pot on the stove for beans, grains, root veggies (potatoes, carrots, etc). It easily handles all the crock pot duties for me too.
My favorite small appliance I have is the Instant Pot. The yogurt function I thought I would never use, it is one of the most used functions on the Instant pot by me. The instant pot makes cooking super easy. Just set it and forget it.
Y… yogurt function? 👀
**runs to Google to investigate**
I'm having anxiety about the safety of the Peefs!
Lisa Milsom LOL I was too trust me 😂 the rule was we weren’t allowed to get it anywhere near a plug 🤪 my heart still leapt when Brian went to “turn it on”
@@KrocksInTheKitchen also I was feeling really claustrophobic because little one couldn't breathe! 😂 What a roller coaster of emotions you sent me on! 😂
You guys are adorable! love all the videos I have watched so far, looking forward to make my way through the rest
Thank you very much! 😀
I couldn’t concentrate on what you were saying about the Vitamix because I was having anxiety about the teddy bears ahhahaha. Great video!
Vitamix is the best money ever spent. I got a refurbished one and it’s perfect. A workhorse.
Thanks for this video, it is greatly appreciated! I have been sheltering in place for 160 days, other than a few trips for essential things.
Of course I have been making masks, Doing sewing repairs and organizing, so my sewing machine and serger are high on my list.
I have been cooking and baking so much more and consequently blew up my 20 yr old Cuisinart Food Processor and my 25 year old Blender Kitchenetics machine. Based upon your advice (thanks) I just purchased a Vitamix, just like yours and I love it.
Anyway I needed this video because I am trying to decide if I need another food Processor or not. So far the Vitamix has done everything I could want. My old Kitchenetics machine does still mix my bread dough so maybe I will wait until it completely dies and then decide.
You two are an inspiration and I am so happy for your terrific weight t loss well done!
Barbara.
Great video, thanks for sharing
I've been making taquitos in the Griddler. What a great tasty lunch, healthy and tasty - low-fat vegan. Wonderful. You guys turned me on to this appliance. Thanks!
Love my Instant Pot MAX and Breville Smart Toaster oven. Both get heavily used at least twice a week. The toaster oven rules for reheating frozen pastries and making grilled cheese pizza toast and bruschetta
The McDougall tortilla soup is freaking amazing
Glad to see someone else loves buying small kitchen appliances besides me. Great video.
You guys are so adorable!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Instead of the Spice Grinder, I use the Magic Bullet. Love it!
Y'all did SUCH a great job on this! I'm sad, my kitchen is so small, I can't get any more kitchen appliances :(
I love my Magimix blender, with small glass attachment, I use it every day for something or other. And I love my Kitchen Aid food processor, and air fryer gets used for all sorts.
Hey you did get another Pief!! Mini Peif! I want a vitamix so bad. I’m going to have to just break down and get it. You guys are always talking about it. Thanks for another great video!
Great vid :D
Heck yeah, Vitamix reconditioned is the way to go! I love my recon 5200 because it came with a narrow container, it's sad that the newer ones all come with the horrid wide container (which makes smaller blends challenging).
LOL I love the heavy metal intros. If there's such a thing as a Rammstein Vegan then I am most certainly that. Btw Brian forgot to do the whole clickbaity "Number 3 will SHOCK you!"
ErrorError haha! Rammstein vegan. That’s a good one. And the clickbait idea... hilarious.
You two are looking great!
Love your recipes and tips
Thank you very much! 😀
Buy the Vitamix scale. It pairs with your blender so when making a recipe it weighs all the ingredients. You will love it!
Electric kettles are also perfect for room/warm temp water, something I enjoy (and good for you) before bed and when you wake up. =) Not gulps but a few sips is cool.
Great video! You guys are so adorable! LOVE the announcing voice, Brian! (please keep doing the silly metal intros - awesome!) BTW, I use the Instant Pot to occasionally make gluten free/whole food pasta. The Trader Joe's red lentil pasta is very tasty. I just add one bag of pasta, 1 jar homemade sauce, 1 jar water and any WFPB veggie balls or veggies you want to add (roasted red peppers are fantastic!). Close top, seal and put timer on manual for 4 min. Let timer go (natural release) for 5 minutes after beeping and then release the rest of the pressure. Makes a very quick and tasty meal!
That sounds amazing! We have several types of bean pasta in the pantry that we don't use very much. This sounds like it would be perfect for a weekend meal! Thank you for the suggestion! 😀
-Brian
Does Brian know that you can get vinyl military bomber plane decals for the kitchen aid? I also found Star Wars decals for my instant pot.
Thanks for the Info on buying a refurbished Vitamix! I’ve wondered if buying refurbished blenders was a good idea but hearing you say that it has worked out has made me rethink it. Also did you know your pressure cooker can function as a slow cooker? I’m sure you did but I just thought I’d put it out there. In fact, I made a version of your weird green soup in my pressure cooker the other day. Love your new video, and wanted to let you know that you have my husband and I eating even healthier! !
Hello! I was super reluctant on the refurbished Vitamix, but I was so glad we got one and saved a bit of money that way! After you use it a few times, you forget it was even "refurbished" to begin with. My experience with their customer service has been great so far as well. We have used the Instant Pot as a slow cooker once or twice, but definitely need to try it out for more things. I am so glad we can help you eat even healthier, that makes me so happy! 🙂
I bought a refurbished one as well & it has been great. It has already been a few years & I’ve had no problems with it. I use it almost every day. If I remember correctly they do payment plans too.
Great list! Only thing I think it’s missing is an air fryer! My top 3 are the vitamix, air fryer and instant pot.
I thought that the instant pot was also a slow cooker
@@sherryn39455 Your oven is a "slow cooker" at 325. No need for a gadget to do that.
I use my air fryer almost daily.
@@MegOfBroccoli Except you can set your slow cooker (or Instantpot) and leave your house for a few hours. You can't leave your oven going unattended.
So happy for you guys. I was surprised at your number one. Was expecting the Vitamix to be 1.
Your spice grinder is my favourite flaxseed en chiaseed grinder !
The instant pot is my no. 1 appliance. I love to cook up a bunch of potatoes in it. I also make beans, rice, soups, chili’s. I make my veggie stock from my veggie scraps and I even make soy yogurt.
Hi, another great video. I bought a refurbed Ninja Pro 5 yrs ago and it still going strong; and I just bought an Insta Pot onsale @ Amz and am looking forward to using it. Plus, the electric kettle I have gets a daily workout.
People laugh when I tell them how awesome an electric kettle is. They just don't get it! 😀 How do you like the Ninja Pro 5? I've heard good things. 😀
@@KrocksInTheKitchen The Ninja is a ninja ... it slices pretty much anything I throw at it, which is generally greens, fruits, vegetables, yogurt, and ice.
I like to use a good processor to make veggie-bean burger patties. 🌱
Great video guys. I LOVE ❤️ my IP. I do my potatoes in it. I use the Steam function and they are delicious. I love the Delay timer. It’s awesome. I used to own a crock pot but replaced it with the IP. I prefer it. I must get a coffee grinder for my spices, I miss not having one. They are great. I enjoy your videos. You’re a fun couple. 😀👍😍
great comments and ideas
Was so surprised that the ninja flip air fryer wasn’t on the list. Know it’s hard to chose. Thanks
That's because we didn't own it at the time. 😂
I was interested in your TOASTER, It's so cool, What Brand Please!
Brian, I love how you make those little comments in the videos like, *yes she did. And you sit there smiling in the vid. Haha! 😆
Thank you. I have a lot of fun editing these videos because they give me a chance to have fun little moments like thst. 😆
-Brian
Love you guys!! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you very much! 😀 We have no plan to stop. 🙂
I bought a refurb Vitamix, too!! It’s a workhorse in my kitchen, use it every day! 😀
The electric kettle is the awesome!
Great list. I LOVE my pressure cooker (instant pot) and my air fryer. I have to same kettle as you and love it.
Looking forward to a nice cream video! I have a vitamix but I find it difficult to figure out the ratio of bananas needed, esp for one serving.
My airfryer is my favorite appliance. I use it pretty much daily. Because the two of you don't use oil I'm surprised you don't have it as your # 1 or at least #2. It would do as good if not better job of the hash browns, onions and veggies. I also use it for baking and gave my toaster away as I toast bread in it. GREATEST thing for leftovers, even french fries!
This is an older video and we don't have our current air fryer which we like a lot better. 😀
I loooove this video, because small kitchen appliances are near and dear to my heart! I too have an instapot but also don't use it nearly as much as I should, lol! I love my blendtec blender but am always wishing I had that tamper, so my next blender will definitely be a Vitamix! Also you have inspired me (much to my husband's chagrin, due to our already overflowing kitchen appliance storage, lol!) to look into buying a griddler and an electric kettle! 😁 Thanks again for another great video!!!
My only other appliance that I use frequently (but that did not make your list) is my rice cooker!
I LOVE the voice!♥️♥️♥️
Thank you very much! 😀
-Brian
I'm new to your channel, so I'm binge watching past shows.... Here's how I feel about the announcer voice, 😂😅🤣😂😍
I think my number one would be a toss up between my Instant Pot and my Vitamix. I got my refurbished Vitamix 5200 at the end of 2013. It has served me well. I like the way a former coworker of mine described his Vitamix - that blender with the lawnmower motor.
My ceramic electric kettles are near the top of my list también. I have one at home and one in my office at work.
I make all my grains in the instant pot. Rice is fantastic, Quinoa is not waterlogged like it is on the stove. I use 1 cup Quinoa to 1 cup water and cook for 1 minute. If you haven't tried oat groats they are a great substitute for brown rice or steel cut oats. To make oat groats 2 cups oat groats to 3 cups water for 5 minutes. Let the pressure come down naturally and then let the pot go warm and let it sit for 2 hours. I also cook dried beans, soups, stews, steamed spaghetti squash etc. We would starve without it LOL.
I find it very odd that Americans have only just discovered electric kettles. We have been using them here since I was a child in the 1960s, and I expect long before. I have never used any other kettle. Electric kettles are multi purpose as you say. But to us here in the UK it's strange that they are a rarity there 💖
I had never even heard of one until we moved to Germany and we use it every morning for oatmeal
@@MRSMILLER417 we use it for tea, and cooking, I am wholefood plant based vegan and I dont use oil, so I use the kettle when I water fry. I always just assumed everyone in the world had an electric kettle, we never use stove top ones, except Aga ones if you are lucky enough to have an Aga range. I used to and I miss it, but dont think they have travelled across the pond either 💖
I got the heavy stuff out of the way
The vitamix and the Kitchenaid mixer. And I have a food processor so I guess the instapot and electric kettle are next in line.
I'm surprised that the crockpot was ranked so high seeing as you own a pressure cooker.
Ha ha I was waiting for that last bit regarding Peef!
Oh yeah! Great video. I love gadgets and appliances. Jessica, I cut my thumb on the mandolin last week, told you I was afraid of it, but wanted (I thought) uniform sized zucchini slices...could not find protective slide...never will do THAT again. Keep up this great channel, you make my wfpb journey enjoyable.
Get those protective gloves. works great.
I think the IP will go up ur list when u start using it. I actually rarely cook on the stove since getting it lol . I cook all my beans and freeze in portions. I throw all sorts v ingredients ro make soups and casseroles. U can also sauté ur onions before u cook the rest of the food.
I now would like a griddle and just need to find the right one . And oh my, love the mixer with those attachements , especially the one for lasgna sheets. Am guessing that is quite expensive . Will be on my wish list .
I have the exact spice grinder and love it. But I find it difficult to clean between grinding different things. Any tips on cleaning it? I don’t want my breadcrumbs tasting the peppermint when I grind peppermint tea before grinding breadcrumbs.
you two are great an the cutest couple love all your suggestions
The Vitamix! I love my Vitamix blender. I use it every day.
I love the metal intros! So funny!
It's funny that you guys ended with "will Peef blend" since this is a hallmark of Tom Dickson who created Blendtec high speed blenders. I did a lot of research before I got my Blendtech blender & Twister Jar. I was impressed with the design and reviews as well as the price. I decided against the Vitamix because of the blatant patent infringement against Blentech for which they lost the 24M law suit. The twister jar is fantastic for nut butters, vegan ice cream, hummus and any other type of thick concoction I want to try. I also love my Instant Pot. I make organic soy milk yogurt every week as well and grains, beans and potatoes.
Nothing says I love you more than a small appliance😂😉
I read a couple days ago...that Penn Jillette is maintaining his weight loss by sticking to a Whole Food Plant Based diet (we all know this) AND is eating in a one-hr window....so OMAD or interstitial fasting.
The Krupps "coffee bean grinder" I have and use like you do, not for coffee. Love the Kitchen-aid mixer, have that with several attachments. Those attachments are AMAZING.
Made dinner with 6 Qt Instant Pot tonight. LOVE it. Wonderful for dry beans. YOU MONSTERS. Get the teddy bears out of the blenders!!
Hi Krocks. I've got to try your orange soup in my Instant Pot.
Quick question, how much sodium a day do you limit yourself to?
The only thing you did not mention having or ever using was an air fryer! That is one of my top seven appliances. I use that thing almost daily. Side note no oil required
I just saw a new Chef AJ video and she likes the Breville air fryer the best since it handles the greatest amount of food.
Wow, I have a lot of your exact same appliances. I have a Vitamix. I have the same kettle. I have the same spice grinder. The same food processor. I have a newer model Instapot, which I plan to replace with a Foodi. We must do the exact same research process!
Congrats to Daddy Peef on the birth of his little single-serve... Jessica, good job on saving Peef ;)
THAT IS SO GREAT TO HEAR YOU ARE DOING DR MCDOUGALL HE IS FABULOUS
I loved this video! I have a deep love for all my own small appliances, and since going plant based use them all with joy!!! One of my top small appliances is my three level steamer. I use it practically every day. Check it out, Krocks!! Then you could do a video and name it "Peif Gets Steamed"!!!
What's wrong with EVERTHING tasting like coffee?? 😀 love my beans
"Spice Grinder" was the hottest Spice Girl.
How kinky.
😆
lovely appliances ❤️
I recommend the Oxo water kettle.
Electric kettles is normal in Europe standard in hotels also
Instant pot is worth it for beans alone!
I cook beans from dry in the oven, takes 1 hour 15. I don't think the IP is much faster than that.
Good point, but during a blazing summer I don’t want my oven on for that long.
@@MegOfBroccoli We cook our dry beans after soaking overnight in the IP for only 9 - 15 minutes, and they are perfectly cooked (no hard beans). We have found it to be a huge time saver.
@@inspiteofbecauseof4745 I live in S.F. so yeah that's not my problem. Sorry about the hot summers. :(
@@mrbr549 That's great, but the time really isn't my only concern. And you also have to soak the beans first to get the 9 minutes, right? I don't soak and I come in at 1 hour 15 with perfectly cooked luscious beans with no hard beans. So if you don't soak beans, how long does it take? With that "natural release" shit, you're probably not looking at much less than 1:15. My other issues are that the things are ugly as fuck. Every time I see an IP sitting out at someone's house, I think, christ on crutches, put that monstrosity away, it has zero eye appeal. But you can leave a Creuset out on your countertop because of its appealing design, and cook lovely beans in it as well. I only have so much freezer space, I don't need a 20-quart monster machine (yeah I know they came out with a 3 quart or whatever, but it's a smaller version of ugly). I only have so much freezer space for cooked beans. I've been on a whole food plant based diet for 26 years and I don't own an IP, a rice cooker, a slow cooker (your oven is a "slow cooker" at 325), a Vitamix, a Nutribullet, an air fryer, a spiralizer, a Kitchen Aid mixer the size of my car, a waffle iron, or a food processor larger than a 4-cup and even that I'm thinking of donating because I prefer using my mandoline.
Hologen convention oven,stick blender,small cup chopper all because small easy to use,less energy and clean up.Stick blender rocks!!!oven browns nice,fast,less heat in kitchen, chopper when I don't want to pull out food processor,small,stuff,fast,easy clean put away.. salad,veg spinner and mandolin are life changing!
How about air fryers. Do you have any recommendations?
Where do you keep all of these appliances? Do you lift each one every time you make a meal? I wonder how heavy each one is.
I have the Instapot, but mine is a newer style, which doesn't have a manual function and I hate it. I am looking at the Ninja Foodi, which people seem to like better. I haven't bought an air fryer yet and the Foodi can be used as that, too, so it is all good.
Is there somewhere I can get your hummus recipe?
Do a search of their videos. It’s there. It’s yummy.
