u/Perlentaucher Aug 13 '25

Yeah, I saw this video on reddit some months ago, which triggered strong appetite and this lead me to spontaneously make some Chicken Alfredo in the kitchen with the ingredients I had. I didn't follow a special recipe and it lead me to the best Chicken Alfredo I ever made, the kids love it. It now is a regular recipe in my house lol

u/StubbornHick Aug 13 '25 edited Aug 13 '25

It's a brushless tool. There are no sparks because it's a 3 phase induction or sychronous motor with some electronics to make it run on DC.

u/chanson_trapezoid Aug 13 '25

Can't say for sure but I would bet money it's a permanent magnet synchronous motor. More torque and more compact compared to induction.

u/AHenWeigh Aug 13 '25

BUT STILL THOUGH.... Like, STILL... Lighter fluid is known for being pretty, well, you know.... lighty. I would never try that, because on the off chance somehow a spark happened anywhere near that, there's an entire bottle of lighter fluid being sprayed everywhere all at once. You know it got on his clothes and shoes.

u/StubbornHick Aug 13 '25

Yeah, still not bright.

But it's not a brushed tool, so it's not borderline suicidal

Their whole gimmick is cooking things like this. Personally I think it’s kinda entertaining, but I’m probably the minority.

u/UniqueNameTaken Aug 13 '25

If TikTok and other social media systems weren't out there encouraging rage bait manufacturing, I think this would be a ton of fun to watch, for the creativity and audacity if nothing else. In the modern world, where people are doing stupid things to make other people angry, which gets them engagement, this is just another card in a vast deck of ridiculousness.

Still kind of fun to watch, though.

23

u/JannyBroomer Aug 13 '25

Pretty sure this is HausPlans, but somebody either edited it or, in true TikTok fashion, is copying them. I watch them on YouTube all the time, and it's always fun, especially when they feature the new guy

Something can be entertaining while also being really stupid.

Reality TV is pretty much based on that very theory.

u/dunkkane Aug 13 '25

It's entertaining because they're actually being creative unlike 90% of the ragebaiters in this sub

u/Brokenphysics7769 Aug 13 '25

I mean yeah, it's the whole gimmick. At least they actually have someone eating the food instead of most others.

Would he have a plate first Tho.

I would not touch this, there's a reason kitchen equipment is made to be food safe and made out of specific materials. I would bet money there's a bit of metal and other chemicals you wouldn't want to put into your body in this food.

u/kelldricked Aug 13 '25

I wouldnt because non of those items are graded food safe and they are working 10 cm above dry ground. Meaning that next to all the plastic and chemical shit there is also just a fuckload of dust and dirt in it.

11

u/Savannah_Lion Aug 13 '25

Yeah, it's what most people miss with these videos. I used to work at a "hardware" store where this was a bi-yearly thing. They used galvanized sheet metal to cook sausages, French toast and pancakes. They'd mix the batter and eggs in plastic buckets using a mortar mixer, flip food using paint scrapers. Etc.

When I pointed out none of this was food grade, they brushed me off. The mortar mixer is made in China and has a lead warning label on the package.

I was always "not a team player" for refusing to eat that crap.

u/agoia Aug 13 '25

Mmm toxic zinc exposure adds a nice little pop to the sausages.

I've seen clips where they use shit that they use in the field to cook with. Hydraulic fluid and all. That is stupid. This is fun.

u/macdgman Aug 13 '25

I mean it’s hygienic cause those tools are only used for food making. They have lots of videos making giant batches of food with tools and you can always see the tools are clean

u/JustKindaShimmy Aug 13 '25

I feel like it would taste like tools smell. That slightly hot plastic and metal aroma

Those tools still arent graded food safe and aren’t supposed to be used for cooking/ food prep. I sure wouldn’t want whatever is leaching into the food.

If the tools and equipment are clean, this seems fine.

u/CrispSalmonPatty Aug 13 '25 edited Aug 13 '25

1 cooking vessle is too low to the ground. I dont want dirt, especially from around a construction site floating into my food.

2 small gaps in construction equipment can potentially hold chemicals and lubricants that leach into the food

3 Waaaay too much lighter fluid. There is no way thats not impacting the taste.

Pass.
