One hand-cranked one, and two electronic ones.

一個手動式的和兩個電動式的

There's so many different types of shaved ice,

市面上有超多種不同的刨冰

the one that I'm used to eating is called bingsu.

我最常吃的就是 Bingsu

It's the Korean style, it's so delicious.

這是韓式的刨冰，超好吃的！

My mom used to make it for me growing up.

小時候我媽常做這個給我吃

And she used to top our bingsu with ice cream, and it was the best part.

她常常會在刨冰上加一球冰淇淋，那是最棒的部分

Today I'm looking for really beautiful, fluffy shaved ice.

今天我想做出漂亮又綿密蓬鬆的刨冰

The first machine I'm gonna test is this guy.

第一個，我要來測試這個機台

I think I used this like 25 years ago.

我想我 25 年前好像用過

From my memory it worked really well,

記憶中，這台好像蠻好用的

especially for the price, this is like $23.

整個物超所值，這好像才 $23

Super cheap and affordable.

超便宜，而且價格合理

This guy comes with this little plastic tube

這機器還附贈一個模型

so you can freeze your ice.

可以用來製冰

Basically you're placing your big ice cube in the cylinder,

基本上就是把這個冰塊放到這個圓筒裡

closing this, and then you'll just like hand-crank it.

把蓋子蓋上，就可以開始轉動把手

So, quite simple.

滿簡單的

It's like a workout.

很像在健身

And from that, one block of ice, I get this much shaved ice.

從一塊冰裡面，可以刨出大約這麼多的刨冰

It's almost like too like chippy.

這個好像碎冰有點多

It's not fluffy enough, I want fluff, I want snow.

不夠綿密，我想要蓬鬆綿密的感覺，像雪一樣

If you can chew the ice, that means it's not good flakes.

如果你有咬到碎冰，那就表示刨得不夠細

You want it to just immediately melt.

刨冰應該要入口即化

No.

不對

I feel like the blade in this, and the space between the gap just makes the ice too chunky.

我覺得這裡面的刀片還有間隔，導致碎冰太多

I was considering getting this machine to do tableside shaved ice at my restaurants,

我原本還想投資一台放在我餐廳，推到客人桌邊現場刨冰的

but I'm not sure that this is the quality that I wanna use for the restaurant so, moving on to the next.

但這品質沒有達到我餐廳的標準，所以我們跳到下一個吧

This is your classic snow cone machine,

這就是經典的甜筒刨冰機

which is very different than shaved ice.

但這跟一般的刨冰有很大的差別

So, I'm a little bit concerned that this is most likely gonna be just not the product that I'm looking for.

所以我有點擔心這可能不是我要找的機器

Doesn't come with a mold,

這台沒有付模型

so you'll just be putting regular ice in this compartment

所以只要把一般的冰塊加到這個格子裡

and then, it'll shave it for you.

機器就會自動刨冰了

And, mind you, this one is electronic.

提醒一下各位，這台是電動的喔

And your ice will shave directly into this box.

刨冰會自動掉入這個盒子裡

But, what's cool about this is that

但很酷的是

you don't like need a bowl or anything,

你不需要碗或任何容器

and it's actually kind of fun, and it's really cute,

其實蠻好玩的，而且還有點可愛

it looks like, you know, a mini carnival happening.

看起來超像一個迷你嘉年華的！

You wanna add the ice first.

首先要先加冰塊

Close this.

蓋上這個

It's slow.

好慢喔

Already you see, like huge chunks of ice.

而且已經可以看到一些碎冰了

I know that this is a snow cone maker, and not a shaved ice machine,

我知道這是甜筒刨冰機，而不是一般的的刨冰機

but I was curious to see if the ice would be fluffy.

但我還是很好奇它刨出來的冰有沒有綿密

When your ice does that, no.

當你的冰呈這個樣子，就表示沒有

I am most curious and excited for this one

我最好奇，也最期待測試的就是這台

because it costs $108 and it calls itself the fluffy ice machine.

因為它價值 $108 ，而且號稱「綿密刨冰機」

So, this one also comes with the mold.

這台一樣有附贈一個模型

So, to unlock you twist and pull up.

要鬆開的話，就先轉一下再拉起來

Place the ice in.

把冰塊放進去

Oh my God.

我的天啊！

Okay, so speedwise, really quick.

好，就速度來講，挺快的

That was literally like two seconds.

這根本只花了兩秒

I'm disappointed.

我好失望

It's clumpy, it's chunky.

它一球球的，太多碎冰

So, I realized that the blade needs to be as retracted as possible,

我發現它刀片間隔要調得越小越好

so you want to be just scratching the surface of the ice.

讓它的刀片可以只削到冰塊的表面就好

So, I have it on that setting,

我已經調整好了

and we'll see if it makes a different product.

來看看它刨出的冰會不會不一樣

Okay.

好

All right.

好了

You see that the ice actually built up,

你看這個刨冰越堆越高

that's like what I want.

這就是我要的

It's more fluffy, you can tell.

你可以看得出來它比較綿密

But I'm gonna taste it and see.

但我還是要來試吃看看

Um hm.

嗯哼

And it's not as crunchy, it melts pretty immediately.

它碎冰較少，而且入口即化

Super excited to try the milk

現在要來試牛奶了，超興奮的

because I feel like, not only the flavor,

因為我覺得，不單只是它的味道

but it'll just be so snowy and beautiful.

它還會看起來像雪花一樣，很漂亮

It looks beautiful.

看起來超美的

You see how it's building up like a mountain.

有沒有看到它堆得跟一座小山一樣

That's kind of like what I wanna see, immediately.

馬上就有我想看到的感覺

Ta-dah.

完成啦！

There's no like chunky ice particles.

完全沒有碎冰

It's moving when I flip it.

刨冰能夠輕鬆地被翻動

Melts immediately.

入口即化

This is legit.

超讚的！

Yes!

太棒了！

Next, we're gonna build the actual bingsu.

再來，我們就要來做真正的韓式刨冰了

Mm, that bite is just like worth it.

吃這一口真的超值得的

It's worth it.

超值得的！

We love this.

我們超愛這台刨冰機！

The other two machines, the ice is a little bit too coarse.

另外兩台機器刨出來的冰不夠細緻

For the $23 hand-crank machine, it's not too bad

就一個只要 $23 的手動刨冰機來講，還算不錯啦！

'cause it's super cheap, but I think that if you want the real, true experience of shaved ice

因為它很便宜，但我認為你若想吃到真正好吃的刨冰

you should definitely splurge and try this guy out.

你絕對要花點錢買這台機器

Because it is pretty amazing.

因為它真的太好用了
