    Maybe if you put the cinnamon in the churro batter? I don't know, it might work.

    Speaking as someone who has arthritis in my hands that flairs up at unexpected times, this can opener would be a great thing to sit on my counter to use as a can opener but also all the other bits and pieces as and when I need them without having to dig through my drawers for the individual accessories when my hands are already swollen and sore

    these are so easy to make with a few small pieces of board screwed together

    If they dissed the tortilla press Mexico would have had a conniption

    mam has the can opener, it's genius! 😀

    The way to test out devices/ gadgets aimed for people with disabilities and dexterity issues is using your non dominant hand covered in oil

  7. @kasgrieve9741

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    There’s much better and cheaper can/ jar openers for people with dexterity issues, ones that will take up much less space, the can opener is the only thing that could work for people with those problems although putting the can in, could easily lead to cans being dropped, the jar opener definitely won’t help people with those issues, clearly needing force and finger strength, not a mechanical jar opener that does it for you

    Chinese pancake upside-down pan next, please!

    The way they pronounced churros gave me physical pain.

  10. @Sshwcgd

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    The expression of Ebbers after saying"I am always grateful for gifts" laughed my head off😂😂

  11. @tiago9977

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    4:42 I love multifunctional kitchen gadgets lol. It's definitely a lot easier to justify purchasing a multifunctional gadget over gadgets that take up a lot of space & only have one specific use.

  12. @tiago9977

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    The Whisk Whiper is an interesting idea, but doesn't seem very effective. I'd love to see them test the collapsible 2-in-1 balloon and flat whisk (by Joseph Joseph) in the future tho – it seems much easier to clean & is easier to store imo.

  13. @joelelbear

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    i think a little bit of non stick cooking spray would help in the churro maker add that "oil"

  14. @E4mj

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    I had to pause the video multiple times during Mike's can opener, because I was in stitches laughing … I love this channel.

  15. @shepshape2585

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    CHUR ROSS? No my friend, it's CHUR OHS. Please stop hurting my ears.
    Also, some things are just never meant to be modified in a healthy way. Churros are meant to be deep fried.

  16. @Olga-du8hw

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    To open tight lid on a jar just give it a couple of sharp taps on the bench top!

  17. @orellaminx3530

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    That is the first electric can opener I have ever see that doesn't automatically capture the lid.

  18. @mono2822

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    The way they said churros made me twitch

  19. @songofshadow5043

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    I have never heard "churro" pronounced "churrah." Brits are weird about Mexican food.

  20. @DS-ir5hc

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Rewatching this years later and I had forgotten how wonderfully chaotic, irreverent and joyous this particular outing with the team was… it’s got that quintessential ‘haven’t seen my mates for ages, released from lockdown energy’… It’s so delightful!

  21. @mehreenkhan6976

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Did they place a bet before filming this?😂
    All of them trying really hard to convince the other how great the gadget is🤣🤣🤣

  22. @LilianaKali

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    For me, personally, my rankings based on how often I'd use it:
    1. Can opener
    2. Tortilla press
    3. Churro maker and whisk-y business – I do not eat churros or need to make anything in that shape and I do not use whisks – the things I make only ever need to be whisked with a fork or with chopsticks

  23. @matthewneal4881

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Actually own that can opener best electric can opener. It also if you lift it up more comes out for cleaning.

  24. @hwgusn

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    The churro maker would be better for skinny corn dogs. lol

  25. @Errb_Sulaky

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Though it can be used for flour tortillas, that types of press is pretty much used exclusively for corn tortillas as yo can’t really get flour tortillas thin enough with it to cook and puff properly.

  26. @Appophust

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Totally mangling "churros." Is that a British thing? It's supposed to be pronounced "choo-rose."

  27. @squimblejibs

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Please, someone, two years later, tell them that’s not how you say “churros”.. and that there’s a singular form “churro” 🤣🤣 love these videos gents

  28. @LA6NPA

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    1: Tortilla press. 10/10. Want! This is almost indestructible and will be a family heirloom. I'd probably change the fasteners sooner than later to A2 stainless if they're just zinc coated steel, though. And I might season it to prevent rust. Using the paper means you don't really have to scrub it, but every now and then it'll need a deep clean. Does it come in larger sizes? Hope so!
    2: Can opener. 4/10. I noticed the magnet coming loose. Only reason for me to buy this is the blister pack opener, and I'm sure I can find that without the other stuff.
    3: Churros maker. 3/10. Would never use for churros, but would try it for skinny hot dogs. Would not buy.
    4: Whisk whiper. 0/10. I see no real use for this. Straight in the bin.

  29. @msoda8516

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Listening to them say churros made my day

  30. @Mostlyharmless1985

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Do people not have electric can openers in Europe? Is that an American thing?

  31. @Serenity_Dee

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    "chur-ross?"

    churros, man, CHURROS

  32. @Mathieu3424

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    i dont see how flipping the machine serves any purposes

  33. @BillOweninOttawa

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    A bottle opener (or a spoon) will let the air into a pickle jar with little effort. "SOLVED"

  34. @BillOweninOttawa

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    The whisk wiper has no reason to exist.

  35. @ethancampbell215

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Ben got stiffed 😂😂 his ‘gift’ wasn’t the most exciting gift and you could see the disappointment on his face throughout testing it, he knew it was such a pointless item and he’s normally so good at finding even the most remote positive in anything he uses but even he wasn’t able to forge appreciation 😂

  36. @SharienGaming

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    the taco press is the clear winner – actually useful, durable and works
    second place goes to the churros maker…sure its not as good as making them from hand, but it seems good enough… and well…
    its not third place… sure that can opener works, but you can get way better ones that arent electric and the rest of the stuff are gimmicks… the jar grip on its own might be okay though
    and last place of course the whiskwiper… pointless piece of plastic solving a problem that no one has in a way that hardly even works

    and on the can opener… why do companies still make versions of these that cut open the top of the can? the ones ive used for decades now work by making small indentations into the sides of the lid and then you can take it out as is – no sharp edges involved at all… heck it even includes little pincers you can grab the lid with if you want to be totally sure

  37. @dawnelder9046

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    I would rather clean out a bowl with a real spatula where you have a long handle. And water is much faster for cleaning a whisk.

  38. @em0_tion

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Jamie's always acting way too invested in things he's never actually invested money in. 😂

  39. @groundcontrol7

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    If I ever need a salesman I'm calling Mike

  40. @alexandrasmith7682

    December 25, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    I have problems with arthritis so ended up with an electric can opener. Is it easier than a manual opener? Yes. However, it can be seriously irritating getting the can lined up, the lid is grabbed so tightly by the magnet that pulling it off can be dangerous.
