Not calling the first item The Pan Handler is a huge missed marketing opportunity
Brilliant!
Being chinesse, I doubt they have ever heard that term. Plus that’s a negative term lol
Cute!
That was a pizza place where I lived a long time ago
"Hey, let's but a pan handler."
The Zip Quicker looks like the perfect example of a kitchen gadget that is definitely useful, but probably not _quite_ useful enough to justify the awkwardness of finding a way to store it.
I was just thinking that. I've got uses for it but no where to put it.😂
If I got it I'd have it always on the counter and put the salt and pepper shakers in it until it is needed, no searching
Storage isn’t the only problem.
It is 30 bucks. It should be max 5 bucks.
I am seeing another "plus" for the ZipQuicker is that the "freed" hand would be available for using a spoon, spatula, or fork to help move any remaining solutions and solids into the bag.
Yes this! It came to me when I saw there were still chunks of stew left in the pot, grab a spatula and scrape away!
put a cup or other wide mouthed container on the counter, open the ziplock bag, and fold the top of the bag over the mouth of the container, fill, close, no need to buy the gadget.
I recently chopped up my peppers and onions and it was a pain trying to get the pieces into the bag without anything keeping the top open. I was thinking of getting the Zip thing, but as he said, $26 is steep for the product. I generally am not putting liquids into zip bags, so not a need for me.
@@Gooseyourdad I've done this, too, however, depending what food you're putting in the bag it can be difficult to get out of the jar once the bag is filled. One of the main features of this gadget is that it is wide all the way from the opening to the bottom. That's the selling pint for me.
@@wrylife57 you honestly have nothing in the house that has a flat bottom and at least two sides high enough to fold the top of a bag over? you REALLY need an EXTRA piece of plastic kitchen equipment? REALLY? cmon.
I think the Pan Buddy is a great idea! I use a wheelchair, so carrying hot pots and pans around the kitchen can get a little tricky sometimes, but I can see this making the process a little easier. I may have to get this for myself!
I think you should try it.
If you get it off of Amazon & it really doesn't work you could always return it.
I'd get it except I'm ok with the pans I have now & I don't really cook all that much anyway. Mostly because my fibromyalgia/auto immune means I can't really clean up until the next day or so.
So mostly I go over to my friends where my grill currently is & he does the cleanup while I collapse on the couch. Before feeling guilty & at least taking the trash out for him.
I tried it. First of all, I have arthritis, and it has to be screwed onto the pan; that really hurt my wrist. And then it didn’t fit on my all clad pan I returned it.
My first thought upon seeing that was that it seems like one of those products that was originally developed to help people with some sort of physical disability, but that they decided to market to the general public as well. Many products that seem "silly" or "unnecessary" come from this kind of situation.
@@AgentOrange96 Yeah, toilet paper wands spring to mind. People mocked those ads heavily, but don't really think about how bad it is to not be able to wipe yourself due to mobility issues, and that simple device can fix it. Genuinely serious quality of life improvement for many people, the inventor should be proud.
For some reason when you were outside with that pan,I just pictured someone looking at housing where you live and the realtor/landlord saying “don’t worry about the guy in 312, he does CZcams or something, so you may see him walking around from time to time”
with a GoCam strapped to his helmet...
Or you will hear him talking but know he is home alone lol
The ziplock bag holders would also work pretty well to hold the bags open in the dishwasher, so they can be reused. I have a different set of gadgets that does the same thing, and I probably get 15-20 uses out of each bag. Haven't bought ziplocks in years, and I'm saving a ton of plastic from the landfill. Win win!
Smart! Way easier than by hand. And easier to dry them too.
The pan buddy honestly sounds like such a good help and it's good to know it also fits the Onlypan.
I think even lighter pans can be quite the hassle once they're full of food.
Seeing you walk around with it makes me think this would be really helpful for people the eat outside a lot, transferring the food to the table would be much more comfortable.
Plastic Ice Cream Buckets are great for use with zip bags. We use them all the time in our household.
Nice! I suppose any bowl or box that's about the right size would work.
I want to get the pot lifter. That would work very well on cast iron pans, very heavy. I do have arthritis, it would be a god send!
I honestly have a couple of the cute pot lid lifters, but I grew up using a wooden spoon propped across the top of the pot with a lid - cheap and very effective! The Daisy thing for $10 - nope! And I’m a kitchen gadget, etc. person!!!
My big question with the Zip Quicker is how many fillings it will last for being bent like that. Most kinds of plastic will weaken over time and eventually break from doing that too often.
If someone wants a cheap alternative to the zip, get a wire shelf, from dollar store or the $1.25 store, with proper length for the height of the bag you use (like for lockers, or can find similar kitchen cabinet one) and turn it upside down. Those wire easily bendable yet sturdy enough to change width to hold open the bags. I prefer those other bag openers and holders over the zip because they are collapsible. The zip is just a thin acrylic self turned upside down. Over time stress on bending it will break it.
I purchased the ZipQuicker about 2 months ago and they are fantastic. Just as the video showed, they hold the bags open wide and minimize messes. Can’t believe how much quicker and easier it is to store leftovers.
If I were ever to meet James in person I can only pray it'd be while he's taking one of his pans for a test drive down the block
I have problems with my wrists so the Pan Buddy might come in handy. The Flower Power steam release thing is cute. The Zip Quicker can be used for more than one thing. For example, I could stack my boxes of plastic bags inside the Zip Quicker between uses. The small one would be great for holding folded paper napkins. The larger one could hold a small roll of paper towels, or be used to stack paper plates or hold the tops of plastic container lids at a barbecue or picnic.
You need strenght tightening the Pan Buddy. If it is loose on the frying pan handle you risc severe burnings
@@traver1965 I thought that too.
@@marthajohnson2775. Me too. I have buy steel or ceramic pans. Cast iron is way too heavy. I find the first two work just fine.
I’m all about the Pan Buddy! I do have arthritis and I love my cast iron skillets. That’s going on my Amazon list.
I like the Zip Quicker too, but I’d get it on sale. I could store in in my wraps/baggies drawer by putting the boxes of them inside the two Quickers.
I would hesitate to use it on cast iron because the handles get hot and may effect the plastic on the pan buddy.
Pan buddy will revolutionize the pan as a weapon in video games lol. Aside from jokes, it looks pretty useful.
Great video!
I have no use for the Pan Buddy, but that seems like a great idea for those who need it.
Love the Zip Quicker, but at that price, I'll DIY it. No chance I pay anywhere close to that for such a simple product. In fact, I wouldn't even bother waiting for it to go on sale, because it would likely still be too high.
Not sure if I really do need those gadgets, but if I do … 😅 the first thing I will need is a large kitchen with lots of storage spaces for all the different gadgets 😂
My problem with the zip thing is definitely the price, but also I'm not sure that the bendy parts are going to stand up after some usage. Please keep us updated
Yes, I hope they keep us posted
There will be a one year update. He does them which is nice
Yes. $80 Canadian dollars. No thanks.
Lifetime warranty which he didn't mention.
@@dewflower7298
He said he got for 26 American. That is way over the difference between American and Canadian dollars.
You could just use a big mug or tall plastic containters that you already own instead of spending 30 dollars on some bent acrylic. And if you want the plasic bag to stay put, get some cheap paper clips
How do you do the paper clips work??
They make a much better version of that, which he's already reviewed in the past. It was a round base with two extendable arms with clips on the ends of them, and you extend the arms to the size of bag you have. When not being used it all folds flat to go in a drawer.
My family owns one of those (and did for years before he reviewed it) and THAT ONE is fantastic. It was only like $6, too. And it works beautifully.
Holy 💩...$30??? I was interested (my daughter makes her own food for her dog & they would've come in handy to fill the bags) until I saw your comment. That price is beyond ridiculous! 😳
@@munkustrap2 I totally agree absolutely ridiculous.
@@munkustrap2 Completely unrelated but I dig your user pic. I love that DVD and I wish they'd film more Broadway shows like that. 😊
The pan holder would be great for my cast iron ! When that pay is full it take 2 hands to move it safely
@jor2011,freedom ikr mine is too
The Pan Buddy will not melt on cast iron. It is made of a heat resistant material
Dang, I like the pan holder and the zip quicker. 2 outta 3 not bad!
The Pan Buddy seems good. It makes me wonder why we design our pans to put extra strain on our wrists!
The Zip Quicker seems fine, but I'm sure I could DIY it with some cardstock.
2:37 Nothing to see here, just a man walking his pan 😂
Love the quick outtakes at the end, very nice touch. Gives the viewers a bonus for watching all the way to the end.
My favourite part of so many "As Seen on TV" products is that they are often SUPER useful, but often for a small minority
I always shake my head when people say kitchen devices are a great gift idea as usually they aren't.
The Pan Buddy is the same type of handle that revolutionized modern consumer metal detectors. It should be equally as great in the kitchen.
The pan buddy looks great since I have nerve damage in my hands. I love the device to fill ziplock bags too.
That Zip Quicker works shockingly good.
You're a riot. "Let me walk around with this and see how it works" 😂
Pan Buddy looks like an accident waiting to happen. With buddies like that who needs enemies.
7:48 Sounds like me the morning after some Taco Bell
The pan handle makes James look like he is holding a metal detector looking for buried treasure. 🤣 🤣
That pan buddy was awedome
for the ziptop bag holders i worry that the plastic may in time fatigue and fail after repeated uses.
Would like to have seen the Pan Buddy on an enameled cast iron fry pan. As a healthy gal B'Boomer who cooks a lot, that's the one pan that can be rather challenging when full. However, I like & really could use the Zip Quicker a lot, although your right, it is pricey. Perhaps the price will come down ,some. Couldn't be bothered with the Flower-Power. Although, I was a teen during that fad !😂 Thanks for the video. 🏖Kj in Tampa Bay 🤗
Someone says it mentions it on the box that it's for that. Even though he didn't try it on one.
🍳Loved your trek outdoors with the frying pan! Do your neighbors think you're nuts🥜?
Meanwhile in some States:
That vertical grip turns it into a fully semi-automatic assault pan. Ban it!
The pan holder would be great if BloodRayne takes up cooking.
Underrated reference!
Pan Buddy is such a missed opportunity, it could have been called the Pan Handler.
Wonderful reviews! Thank you 🙏🏼
Oooo I totally need those bag holders. I've tried various other things like small pitchers or jars and they can get annoying because of the spouts or the jars have tapered rims that can make it hard to get the bags out once filled. These seem so handy and I figure storing some of these will be a lot less to store than trying to store a ton of tupperware with lids. Been wanting to go to all bags for food saving instead but w/o a sturdy way to fill them (due to limited hand mobility) it hasn't been practical until now. What a game changer for me! Going to get rid of (recycle) my cabinet full of disposable tupperwares - these will save me so much storage space!! Not to mention the nightmare of worrying about matching lids to containers anymore. Been looking for a solution like this for a while but those clip baggie holders are just a hot mess and too flimsy. - THANKS for this one!!!
Pan buddy looks like something you would misuse and end up in the emergency room with stomach pains lmfao
Great review as always! Mom and I are looking immediately at the ZipQuicker and the Pan Buddy, literally at this moment. She struggles with both, especially anything to do with wrist stuff at the moment... which is ironic, she is an Interpreter for the Deaf, which involves a lot of movement.
The Pan Buddy has the ATF giving it the side eye.
When my parents hit their 80s i'll def consider getting them a pan buddy as a gift.
"kinda looks like the starship Enterprise" yes! lol. 🤣
man, I really like this channel. the pan buddy is a great find.
Great reviews, as always. What are the appliances on the counters. They look like air fryers or toaster ovens.
Nothing more normal than seeing a guy walking around with a pan strapped to his arm lol love you videos.
Always love your videos and thoughts
Great presentation of the information 😄. Thanks for sharing this with me 😊. Hello from Indiana USA and this 62 year old lady.
The pan buddy and the zip quicker are two items I will buy. Thanks for the review 👍
I may try that first one. It's hard for me to pick up pans after having my wrist get stuck in a revolving door.
Keep up the bloopers 😂😂
Love kitchen gadgets vids!
i love how you just took your pan out for a walk, very cute item
Love ❤️ the Hex Clad pan, I love mine.
Love the inclusion of the bloopers at the end 😅 Out of these, the ZipQuicker might be smth i see me buying. Just wish it would fold up for storage.
Ok ok. I like the pan buddy. Ànd you got an instant thumbs up from me just because you mentioned the star ship enterprise. Great review. Live long and prosper.
The machine gun butt stir fryer looks fun. lol
An easy substitute for the Zip Quicker is a large measuring jug or similar. Also love the Pan Buddy, definitely looks useful for my wrist pain.
New video! I get so excited. 😂
If you truly want to try the pan buddy out, use it on cast iron skillet.
Awesome to see the pan buddy. my friend was part of the r&d team for the pan buddy and you wouldn’t believe how much names it had before they settled on pan buddy lol
Thank you using the Pan Buddy to poor from a big pot into the ZipQuicker. I have a weak wrist on one hand and I’m super short, so getting the leverage to tip a pot or pan is an issue. 😇 This was super helpful.
The irony that he left food in the pans when using the one gadget that would free up an extra hand to use a spatula or spoon to get it
The pan handle, for when you want to make your pans look like a metal detector
When I need to carry my big frying pan around the neighborhood, I’m getting one of those pan buddies!
Flower power is a waste... but the Pan buddy has possibilities for my cast iron. If I did a lot of prep work and freezer storage the Zip Quicker would be on its way now.
🏆I would grant the Flower Power with "The Most Useless Kitchen Gadget" award.
Nice video. I liked the pot holder.
I'm definitely impressed with the pan buddy and the zip quicker 👍👍
I have limited use of my right hand, so the pan buddy and the zipquicker would both be very useful in my kitchen. Just wish the price was a little lower.
2:40
Ok…you were totally making swish the Enterprise through space sounds, weren’t you!
I really hope nobody saw you walking around with that pan 😂😂😂
I will take a look at the pan holder for my cast iron pans 👍
Great video, James! I will be purchasing the Zip Bag Holder and the arm thing for the pans.
Daisy is cute, but it didn't work!
Man, that handle on the Pan Buddy...it, ah, resembles some very different products in design...
the zip quicker will work great with my vacuum sealer bags. It can be hard to fill a bag with marinate and meat by yourself while maintaining a clean sealable top.
Pan buddy makes for a good makeshift police baton too!
With rhe Pan Buddy you looked a professional panhandler. ha
Would love to see you review the Shelfy anti food waste gadget. See if it really saves food.
Yeah!
The Pan Handle one was shocking. I'm intrigued by it.
Steam one seems like a gimmick and the bag holder could be made in my garage in 5 minutes. The pan holder does look handy for those with disabilities or arm pain.
Thank you for your thoughts on these items.
Rocking the Paula Dean cookware💯💯💯
The Zip Quicker definitely looks more stable than those ones with two tongs holding the bags open.
I have been using my own version of the Zip Quicker for years...easily constructed from a wire coathanger, & doesn't cost $26.
That flower thingy is a total waste of money. LOVE the pan buddy!
For a tip on what to do with the “free hand” while using the ZipQuicker: the spare could wield a spatula to scrape the bowls pan. That’s a juggling act I’d be happy to stop doing.
Not sure how that price is "too much" for the Zip Quicker; that's way cheaper than I would think most items like that would go for.
Pan Buddy, turn any pot or pan into a tonfa😂
Great video as always. 8:58 Just quick FYI bone broth has high concentrations of Lead (Pb) in it.
It's fun watching James taking his crockery out for a walk. All are good and helpful ideas and they seem to work. But I wish you had a cast iron pan. I have one. If the Pan Buddy fits, it would be awesome.
it should work fine as cast iron is what it talks about on the box
@@OverkillBillsXbox Thanks! Now that I watch it again I see it. I didn't look carefully enough.
I wonder how well the Pan Buddy would work on a cast iron pan? 🤔
Well if you find that you don't use the zip bag holder, you can always use it to hold your napkins. I guess the flower gadget is that for propping up the lid, the flower is for cute marketing. I could use that lifting handle myself!
I agree with the last product, the quick zipper is a cool product but a very high price for 2 pieces of plastic. The pan buddy I think I may get one as I have a hard time carrying pans.
That stew seemed too hot to go into a storage bag.
