you probably know by now that it does not take very much in the way of gadgets to eat a healthy whole plant food diet you got that right dill all you really need is a knife a pot in a stove but if you want to step it up a notch and you're like us where you're cooking all of your own meals and you're not really going out to eat ever then you can save all that money and apply it to some kitchen gadgets that make your life a lot easier and more fun and interesting we're gonna show you our top five favorite gadgets and we'll even give you a couple bonuses number five do not put that in this video number five is our handy dandy electric griddle this thing is like a i've said it before it's like a magic carpet except it doesn't actually fly you do say that a lot it doesn't make a whole lot of sense but i love your enthusiasm it's because it has this texture to make it so incredibly non-stick that is almost carpet-like but if you look closely on the surface of this thing you can see these little tiny this this little texture and that's what makes it so amazingly nonstick nothing sticks to this it is awesome for no oil eating like we do let's talk about all the things we love to use this for yeah okay burgers we don't actually make very often but it will work great for not sticking and causing your burgers to like fall apart that's one thing homemade tortillas homemade tortillas this thing is amazing for homemade tortillas i love it you can do like five tortillas at a time it's awesome for hosting but it's also awesome for just making yourself tortillas or like a casserole dish of enchiladas or something we love it for the banana pancake oh the wellier world banana pancake mix for sale now in the wellier world store is amazing on this finally a pancake there you don't need to worry about any oil or sticking on your stovetop pans because they just don't work this is the only thing that does pancakes 100 perfect 100 of the time at least my pancakes you know what else we did on this we made a homemade lentil flatbread and we made those tic tac tortillas that's right that was great too i love to do hash browns on this too you just set it on top forget it for a while flip it over and they're done you're talking about the frozen hash browns that you can buy in the bag that are just nothing but potatoes we love to throw sometimes i'll take the frozen shards shreds shards what's a shard is it a shard something sharp yeah that like gets stuck in your body yeah could you say that a frozen shred of potato becomes a shard because it's a little bit harder no no okay sometimes we'll mix a bag of like frozen onions and bell peppers with the frozen hash browns throw those on here and like reebs said they just cook once they kind of start stop steaming you flip them they're ready to go it's a really good meal very fast can't do it without that griddle also this is probably the most affordable appliance on our list today that's true this thing can be had for like 30 30 bucks on sale on amazon maybe 35 all the gadgets we're talking about by the way will be down below well your world dot com gear it'll go to my amazon store and you'll be able to find all this stuff that is the griddle you don't need it but maybe you do next appliance appliance number four is the airfryer we love the airfryer quite a lot although you could do pretty much everything you do within the airfryer in the oven it won't be quite as good of a result but you can do it we use the airfryer a lot we love making potato wedges fries it definitely lets us enjoy those things that were once eliminated from our diet again like a really crispy french fry with no oil so we personally have a breville smart oven air which i wouldn't necessarily recommend for air frying but we love the breville because it has so many other functions and really we love to use it on our well your weekend live cooking show so that we have another oven we love using it for small batch things that we just are doing for our regular meals though because there are only two of us we can get by with the breville smart oven air they also have a newer version that's like 50 bucks less and a little bit smaller but it has all the same functionality but it does the oven it does it gets all the way up to 480 degrees so you can do pizzas in there and stuff like that so it works really well there are a lot of functions that it has that we don't use such as it has a dehydrator built in what we're trying to say is airfryer we just happen to have a fancier air fryer but any air fryer is what is occupying our number four kitchen gadget right i think you can get a pretty good air fryer with the basket inside for like 40 to 60 bucks there you go you can even go back and watch our french fry video where we did in three different air fryers one being the breville and see how they compare gadget number three is any kind of food processor again you can cut with a knife and a cutting board but boy can this be fast especially this one that has so many gizmos and attachments i feel like this is in between what you would do with a knife and what you would do with a blender it grinds it up but it doesn't liquefy it which is important you can do some dicing and stuff there are some hacks you can do with your blender but i really like a food processor for a lot of things what making you know just about our falafels making just about uh our falafel some of you are just not into chopping and that's okay because you can use the processor to do that this particular breville food processor this is the sous chef 16 peel and dice the dicing function is pretty cool if you're making a huge batch of pico then you could dice it up really fast is nice but for just everyday home use i probably wouldn't pull it out the dicer because there are a lot of things to clean if we're just going to focus on the food processor part i can't say that there are very many cooking show episodes that we do for example where we're not using this right it gets used a lot with our day-to-day cooking number two but a very close second to number one is the instant pot or pressure cooker we can cook anything on a stove that you could also cook in here but this does add a level of convenience that well let me put it this way we have four of these we do one of them is going to be retired very soon because it's my i love it though it's an off-brand but it's a four quart which i have a feeling i'm gonna miss i feel like the three quart which i just purchased is gonna be a little too small and we have this is the six quart and we also have an eight quart we remember we do this for a living you don't need three instant pots though i know a lot of people in the wild your world group that do have multiple instant pots they're usually cooking their grain their main starch for the week when they do batch prep in one and then in the other they're doing like a stew or like a curry or something like that so it's great for that what i love it for are the really simple meals like my starch blaster and other one-pot meals we've done a lot of episodes on our live cooking show well your weekend where we're using this for just throw everything in turn it on you're done that's what i love about it too is the set it and forget it you don't have to keep stirring it you don't have to watch the stove you just throw everything in put the timer on and walk away if you have a family you need the eight quart i think you're right the problem with the eight quart is it does take a lot longer to get up to pressure and to depressurize six core is up it's much quicker and it's crazy that just six to eight makes such a difference but the eight quart can take a long time that's not that big of a deal for most people if you have a big family i would just go right for the eight and and so you don't end up having to buy another one but uh you got options well if you have a big family and you wanted to for sure buy two would you get two six quarts no i would always have an eight because i can do a full ten pound bag of potatoes in an acorn instant pot and i love doing that because then you just you just cook your 10 pound bag of potatoes in the instant pot put them in the fridge then you chop them up into the wedges and you do them in the fryer the next day and they're so nice and crispy i love it i also really love the instant pot brand because it is indeed a totally stainless steel pot there's no non-stick coating or anything like that so you don't have to worry about scraping it up dinging it up you can clean it with the robo pubes the stainless steel scrubber thing and you won't damage anything so this thing is going to last for a long time next supply appliance number one are you surprised it's the vitamix or any high speed blender i know vitamix tell me more ribs about your now i think that the vitamix is the best blender on the market i know that the vitamix is the best blender on the market i i don't think you should follow this journey of doing these random steps until you get to the vitamix of buying these cheaper lesser brands the vitamix is very expensive but i highly recommend just going straight for it you're gonna love it i know there are people watching that have other brands of high speed blenders that they are very happy with i'm sure reebs is not trying to offend you but this is an amazing device also the customer service is unbelievable if you break something like this even if it's because you're a dummy which we have done they just replace things i feel like owning a vitamix is like a rite of passage to becoming a vegan you can make so many delicious vegan items such as my gravy or my cheese sauce available at your world.com store do we need to say that we're not sponsored by these products we are sponsored by these products these but not this no we're not getting any money off of any of these gadgets so i only get paid if you buy this but i'm serious i feel very strongly about this whereas the other items even if they found a different brand of griddle or the knockoff pressure cooker air fryer it doesn't matter but i feel so strongly about vitamix have people crowdfund it for you for your birthday and you know with our way of eating we eat a whole food no added oil diet we need delicious sauces unless you buy them from me you're not going to find them on the store shelf a lot of the time we're making our own salad dressings and sauces and trying all these new things and so this gets so much use in our house it always works it is a workhorse i can't imagine this thing ever breaking dates we use a lot of dates for our sweeteners to sweeten things up dates blend so nice in this thing you can liquefy just about anything in a vitamix you can even heat things up in a vitamix it doesn't work for dylan who likes this thing scalding hot but it does have that function the vitamix is one of the only blenders that you can put hot liquid into yes and it won't explode into your face also cleaning this thing is amazing all you do rinse it out always clean your blender immediately after use it is very important a crusty blender is a disgusting life so a couple drops of dish soap with water like halfway or something blend it and it's clean it's a it's a miracle it's wonderful check costco it's always cheapest at costco is it really yes and they have a great return policy too and they often during the holidays do have it go on sale as well uh so yeah it's you can find it you can also find on amazon they have refurbished ones often if you're buying it from vitamix i don't care if it's 10 years old and refurbished that thing is going to last forever so if you can save a buck doing the refurbished for this particular device i highly recommend it have we said enough about this thing all right we need to move on it's time to move on to some bonus items let go of the blender let's go here's bonus item number one this is the soda stream or anything like it that accomplishes the same thing you put some water in here you plug it in you you fill it up with the co2 you push the button boom you have seltzer water what's it called soda water it's sparkling not still it has a little this is not an electronic but i still call it a gadget it has a little tank of pressurized co2 that you can get refilled that you can swap out at bed bath and beyond or amazon probably or whatever and boom it just works you make your own lacroix and then you can add many people know this device because they like to make terrible disgusting soda pop with it at home which is bad for your health but you can make your own lacroix by just taking this pour it into the glass over ice you can add the hibiscus concentrate like we did in our recent video you can add just a squeeze of lemon or lime or a little squeeze of grapefruit juice or orange juice and just make a nice flavored seltzer water here's another bonus gadget in air popper and you know what i'm going to tell you exactly where to buy these things the thrift store they always have them there pops almost every single kernel i used to do the kernels into a brown lunch bag in the microwave method it didn't pop every single plus you can ruin your microwave doing that what you can i've had my microwave overheat because of that and just shut off for hours at a time i've had it burned the bottom of the bag and almost started yeah it's not a good method no this is perfect popcorn every time no oil necessary you just dump the kernels in here put the lid back on turn it on it spits it out into a bowl and then you can add all of your favorite flavorings such as the well your world non-fortified nutritional yeast a little liquid aminos brags a little soy sauce something like that just to give it a little saltiness what else do you like to put on there i've heard people use vinegar or pickle juice i haven't tried that so i'll need to try i have tried the pickle juice it works good we're gonna work on some nutritional yeast based popcorn seasonings and stuff that we're gonna sell in the store they're not for sale yet but we'll get there bonus appliance number three our bonus appliance number three is one that we just got only a couple weeks ago obviously i have a lot of experience juicing i started with juicing before i actually learned about eating a whole plant food diet but i do love juicing we've been juicing our butts off lately look one thing is important to understand you do not need to make juice in order to be healthy you just need to eat whole plant food a wide variety keep out the processed garbage and you'll be in great shape like a lot of our plant-based doctors say you know like caldwell-esselstyn says don't bother with the juicing especially if you're trying to reverse heart disease and stuff you don't need these concentrated processed things but if you're like me and you're not getting enough greens because i'm always eating starches i need calories my body just burns through food i don't understand it but juicing is one way for me to do better at getting all of the micronutrients that come with the greens we know how important eating a wide variety of non-starchy veggies is for our way of eating but sometimes i'm just bad at it and i can't just tell myself to not be bad at it anymore i have to ingrain habits that feel efficient and fast for me and that just happens to be with juicing or making smoothies i think smoothies are fine too you got to be careful with the calories if you're just juicing a bunch of fruit juices then you can definitely get into trouble with taking in too much sugar a lot of my juices are all based on you know vegetables and a little bit of apple to give it a sweetness you put just enough fruit in both your smoothies and juices just to make it palatable that's exactly right because i'm not doing it i'm doing it for the greens i'm doing it for the non-starchy veggies not for the sweetness or the taste i do not sip juice for example i know that again all of our doctors say you should sip these things slowly allow because you know they're much more concentrated without all the fiber but i just chug them i'm not i know i should drink them slowly but i've got things to do the whole reason i juiced was to save time and so i just chug them down and get on with my day this specific juicer is really fantastic i've only been using it for a couple weeks and i just can't say enough about it it's really easy to put together it's really efficient in that the pulp that comes out of it is super dry so a lot of the juice has been extracted i couldn't eat enough greens i know we're doing more chopped salads and stuff which is definitely helping for me but even still starting with a little bit of green or having at least some greens juice and or a smoothie each day is is going to help me to make sure that i'm not just eating starch so if you're a person like me then i recommend a juicer this is a great it is an expensive juicer but it is a really good one but it's not in our top five because i don't want you to think that juicing is a poor component of our way of eating it is not i went years without juicing when i first started making youtube videos you don't need it but it can help if you're like me and you're just not getting the greens in all right thanks juicer well that was eight gadgets ribs we did eight we promised five over delivering again why are we so dumb what's
