I Tested Viral TIKTOK SHOP Kitchen Gadgets!
Introduction
Today, I’m diving into the world of viral TikTok Shop kitchen gadgets to determine whether they live up to the hype and are worth your hard-earned money. Let’s start with the rotary grater, which has been quite the sensation on TikTok. Its unique features include a larger mouth and spinning wheel compared to traditional graters. I’ve also compared it with my standard mini rotary grater; the difference in size is monumental.
As I began testing the rotary grater, I started with the shredder blades attached. One downside, however, was that the shreds from a carrot were somewhat small and not as long as I prefer. To explore its capabilities further, I switched to the plunger to hold the carrot in place, leading to similarly tiny shreds. I then moved on to cabbage, which proved to be awkward, resulting in more chopped pieces rather than shreds. Ultimately, nothing beats my mandolin for shredding tasks, but I did try the slicing tool next, using a cucumber and achieving decent results with nice thickness. The accompanying wavy slicer worked wonders, especially for creating potato chips.
Next, I put the grater to the ultimate test: cheese. Unlike my old grater, which often gets clogged, the rotary grater performed well, allowing the cheese to come out easily. Overall, I would rate the rotary grater an 8 out of 10.
Moving on, I tested a condiment dispenser that claims to accommodate everything from liquids to powders. It can be wall-mounted, which is convenient for kitchen organization. I filled it with cooking oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and cooking wine. The flow was seamless, allowing me to mix sauces directly into the ladle, which was a genius feature. I rate this gadget a 9 out of 10.
Next up is the Wonder Oven by Our Place, which I refer to as the adult Easy Bake Oven. This multifunctional gadget can bake, reheat, roast, toast, and air fry. I was intrigued by its steam infusion feature designed to refresh stale bread. After preheating, I baked cookies and reheated old bread, and I was impressed with the results. The cookies had crispy edges and chewy centers while the bread turned out fluffy. It gets a 9 out of 10 for its performance.
The next gadget was a smart nutrition scale. While the aesthetics were nice, I found it frustrating to use. It required scanning barcodes and entering weights via an app for accurate nutritional information. Although it could estimate calories, much of the process felt laborious instead of seamless. I give this scale a 7 out of 10.
Then, I tested a touchless paper towel dispenser. While it has a sleek design and a charging port, I found it to be more of an aesthetic item than something truly functional. It’s also quite pricey, so I rated it a 5 out of 10.
Finally, I tried a dual-tank mop that’s been trending on TikTok. This mop separates clean water for mopping from dirty water for rinsing, preventing grimy mop heads. After testing its mechanics, I found it engaging and effective; it made mopping more enjoyable. Overall, I rated this gadget an 8 out of 10.
Lastly, I tested a viral dish rack that channels water into a container instead of pooling at the bottom. While sturdy, I felt the top rack lacked adequate support for plates, leading me to rate it a 6 out of 10.
In conclusion, the viral TikTok Shop kitchen gadgets have their pros and cons, but some definitely stand out as valuable additions to your kitchen arsenal.
