  1. Can you buy premade Gyoza dough, that looked so uniform. I love Gyoza and I buy the whole thing prefab and frozen, but if I could get the dough premade I'd love to make my own.

  2. I feel like The Kurara Washer is designed more for people with limited hand dexterity who literally cannot grip a sponge. It would also be an absolute God sendfor people with only 1 hand.

  3. I have 2 things to say.
    A gyoza maker based on that with a slope that feeds the dumplings into your choice of tray, plate etc. and maybe resembling a pasta processor would be a great tool for us clumsy folk.
    2 to be fair to the kurara cleaner, did you even give it soap? But yes I instantly thought the same, that brush is getting dirty and Fast!

  4. Wouldn’t it be better to compare an actual dishwasher to the dishwashing device. If doing it by hand is really difficult, then a solid long lasting dishwasher is just strictly better.

  5. I think the expresso frother is dependent on fat content in milk and therefore you need to be using 2% or even whole milk. I think that might be the case because I've tried just shaking whole milk in a glass jar with a lid on it and have gotten a good amount of phone so it takes quite a bit of shaking so I'm guessing that that machine should have been tried with whole milk.

  6. I was a fan right away, when he mentioned the usability for left- and right-handed people. ❤

    Edit: maybe the hand dish washer could be re-designed for one-handed people? 🤔 just a little thought

  7. not sure if they thought of it but soy milk never foams, unless you buy special barista soy milk with added chemicals. may have been the issue. or maybe the awa toccino doesn't work lol.

  8. I think the first one could work if you need to keep kids busy in the kitchen. Seems harmless and pretty fun for someone young. Better than having them run around while you cook or something…

  9. I remember eating those Japanese grapes! My mom used to buy some from an Asian market, we'd hold one with three fingers and pinch the grape into our mouths and put the skins in another bowl. Unfortunately the ones we got were usually a bit flavorless and watery, but it was still very refreshing in the summer

  10. I think you blew it on the dumpling maker redesign. You have to remember accessibility. Making it totally hand held would exclude a lot of people.
