I think that was Coffee, I wonder if the Coffee lowered the boiling point of the water? I've never seen a kettle do that before, it was a like a possesed kettle.
@@BurntFaceMan Pretty sure it's instant coffee to be specific. Old fashioned coffee percolators bassically boil ground coffee but don't foam up like that. Bonus fact: Personal experience has shown me that microwaved instant coffee *may* explode, while brewed coffee won't.
The kettle one was just a bad idea, the tea is going to be bitter since it will likely overextract and having been steeped in water that was too hot. You also have to deal with your kettle now making boiled water that tastes like tea
Exactly what was going through my head. I think the main thing that avoided it tasting too bad was using only 2 tea bags for what looks like pushing 2L of water
Yeah and I've seen people do that on tiktok and the kettles boil over and the water/tea comes out which could be very dangerous when close to electricity (best case scenario it just messes up the electricity) you can even see it here that their kettle almost does that,had there been a bit more water it would probably have happened.
for storing bags in the freezer after I open them I just roll the bag up and use one of those metal binder clips, they also work great for bags of chips/crisps etc. For eggs I have an electric steamer, 20 mins in the steamer and the eggs are done, and with the steam they peel super easy.
I steam eggs for 11.5 minutes for a just-past-jammy hard-boiled egg. If I'm only doing one, I use a tin cup with a lid. (Mostly because it's fun.) Soft-boiled = 6.5 minutes.
If you HAVE to make tea in your electric kettle, boil the water, then add half a cup of cool water, THEN add the teabags. The hack as written would work fine for some more woody herb teas that NEED boiled like chamomile. I would suggest a damp baking soda scrub to clean the pot after.
Just cut a parallel horizontal line along the top of the bag, pour out required contents, and then use the long thin stripe like a shoelace to tie the bag. Its really not that hard. I have no idea why any hack is required...
Re: the frozen chip bag hack - the only real problem I could see with that is that you might cut a big chunk of the cooking instructions and if you're like me, you won't be able to remember them for next time. However, if you cut along the top of the bag as usual, when you've tipped out the amount of chips (or whatever frozen food you're cooking) you want, you can then just twist the top, like you do a bread bag if you use pre-sliced bread, and tie a little knot in the top, making sure the long bit that you've cut or torn open is the bit that twists round the bag and loops through to hold everything closed. It'll look about the same as the one you did, Barry, but the cooking instructions will stay intact for next time. As for the tea hack, I think that would probably make the tea taste far too strong as the tea bags are in the water for too long. Just stick a bag in each cup and add hot water to the cups? I've got a tea pot but rarely use it, opting for the bags in a cup option. Loved the saucepan lid idea and I thought the marshmallow rose was adorable too - you could toast those if you cut off the long ends of the strings so they don't catch fire.
I can never decide which I get more excited to watch between the kitchen hacks and the gadgets series but please please please never stop doing either 😁
I was only thinking to myself today that I hadn’t seen one of these videos from you in a while and a few hours later you popped up in my feed! Another great hacks video, I love watching them. Thanks for sharing. ❤
THAT...... THAT..... is a very sensible thing to do, even with the holes I rip out of the corners some times lol that'll still do. Maybe it's good for peas though (give peas a chance?!) if they have the not so that if you dropped them it wouldn't spill out with the tie in it
When it comes to bags in the freezer, we cut straight across one end to open the bag, then use that as the "string" to tie it shut. Single knot, easy to open back up for more.
:) draining hack I only learnt last year, if you have a straight-sided sink, then just pour straight up against the side, the side stops the food coming out
I've taken to opening begs of frozen food from the bottom. I used to get annoyed that I couldn't read what was in the bag because I'd cut along the top and scrunched the top of the bag to tie it up, thus obliterating the name on the bag, which is usually at the top.
I'm not a tea fan but even so, the way to make tea for several people is the same as how to make tea for one person. Put teabag in mug, pour on water. You still have to pour the kettle boiled one into mugs for people to drink afterwards, so what's the benefit?
For the frozen bag, I just use those large metal binder clips from the stationary store. You get a lot of them for cheap, they are metal and don't break when they get cold, and are re-usable.
After learning about the British way of preparing tea with a teapot, I learned the Chinese way (according to John Cage) which was a variation on your electric kettle method. Except Iearned to prepare it in ANY pot on the stove (which would have saved cleaning the kettle). you take a sauce pan put tea and water into it and heat them together gently, slowly, Also DON'T let it boil (draws out tannins and makes it bitter). Drain and enjoy. No Teapot needed. Since you guys don't like tea you'll never know that it tastes fine although bit different. Marshmellow roses, think about icing roses, are thicker at the base and thinner at the top. Also whatever you use to cut them with dip in powdered sugar or corstarch. All the best Jim Oaxaca Mexico
You should try the marshmallow rose and while tied together poor some white chocolate around the bottom to and let it set to hold it in place then untie it 😊
coffee hack for a watter kettle, is use a small collander, a paper towel in the collander, set the collander in a funnel, coffee in the paper towel, and slow pour your boiled water on the paper towel :) Thats what I was doing during pandemic after my coffee maker went out. Though, now I kinda prefer it, to brewed coffee, so I have a reusable filter, in a small one cup coffee device, which works on same princible, a nice fresh cup every time :) without the paper waste.
I tend to use the freezer tyoung the bag up trick for smaller bags, as you do get the issue of it condensing to a big clump that can't be put back so easily. Smaller bags of frozen veg like beans or peas are ideal for this, By tying them up you end up with a tighter smaller package that can easily be wiggled into some space in the freezer.
Here is the USA we used to have a coffee "tea bag". It was the same thing as a tea bag but with coffee in it, i believe Folgers did it. I loved it for when we would go camping. I had my morning coffee and all i had to do was boil some water. Now my kids are young adults and still live with me but they all drink coffee, we make pots now not just cups lol. Anyway the tea bag in the kettle would be a great idea.
I steered away from those, thinking they just wouldn't get the flavor of water coming in direct contact with grounds (I usually do French press). Was it actually pretty good?
Okay I have a better hack for the freezer bag: cut an opening from a corner, at 45° angle - just the length of the scissors will be enough, but if you're feeling artsy and crafty you can make it a teardrop shape with the tip in the corner. Now you have an open corner to pour out contents of the bag, and when you tie the two edges together, it doesn't take up half of the bag, just the corner, so you still have extra space in the bag to shimmy the contents flat.
I’ve had a clear kettle ever since I found a water bug in my old one. I only ever filled through the spout so had no idea how long it had been in there.
My electric kettle actually as its own brew basket just to make tea inside it so this isn't far off. It works pretty well if you want a whole pot of tea and as long as you wash it out quickly after, it isn't that hard to do.
I've boiled eggs in my kettle before when I didn't have a pan for the stove, it works well! And it didn't make my cups of tea taste like eggs afterwards either.
Tea can be made in a plain old pan if need be. (Pour water over tea bags as you would in a teapot.) I imagine the narrower it is at the top, the better.
I like to use hack 1 to make a little well to hold things like chicken salad or ham salad for a sandwich. Put wells on both slices, mound it up generously, and you're still able to close the sandwich.
@@laurag2325 Tea is super easy. Tea usually has instructions on the box/packet for the correct brewing temperature and time. Just pour over hot water and wait.
I’m not sure that’s accurate?? Maybe depends on the tea or what ur gonna put in it? All I know is a middle easterner told me to boil tea and add milk and tea masala for the best tea…. U were meant to boil the water down by half, add some milk, boil down a bit more then serve.
My kettle has a tea holder in the middle, ive always been boiling it with the water since I have it 😅😅 sometimes I was wondering if anything was off about the taste 🫣💀 won't be boiling it no more as it also has a 70, 80 or 90c setting, I'll be using those instead. Thanks for the info! 👍👍
And that's why you only boil water in your kettle, like a sodastream, if it is not just water it will overflow, and we prefer coffee, cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 👍
I got a kettle just like that so I could boil and brew tea in it. We make 2 liters of tea (to make ice tea because we live in Texas) about twice a week.
Im on the "please dont preheat your airfryer" - I never do it myself, and have heard that the preheat on some machines are created cause some buyers want it... and "boiling" egg - has never been a success for me either in none of my machines... its not boiled.. it must be hard baken egg :D Thanx for this channel - love it - also that with the gadgets you also say maybe ppl with disseases maybe need them instead of just think they are silly.
I know you can get little like wire racks to go into your airfryer so you could stick that in there and stick your eggs on top so you don't get that discolouration on the eggs
When you airfry boiled eggs leave your tray in or use silicon cake cases to stop them rolling around.If you are going for hard boiled then turn them over half way through,it saves the egg going too rubbery on one side.
@@jvallas I don`t have access to a cooker or hob so airfryer or microwave is my only option and trust me when i say you cannot hardboil an egg in the microwave without one hell of a mess. 🤣
Barry, if you put ice in that tea, it wo7ld only become ice tea. Some of us Americans don't drink hot tea, enjoy a glass of ice tea or you could add sugar to get sweet tea thanks for great ideas!
When i run out of coffee at home. i always use my coffeemaker (you know, those normal ones with the filterholder overtop of a hotplate and a kettle) and put four teabags inside the kettle, fill up the watertank and let her brew. It works surprisingly well.. And afterwards you easily reset by just cleaning the kettle with dishsoap as usual.. 4 bags equals the ten cup mark on my machine. (One of those Braun models)
