I feel like you should make a second series called User Error. It would be where you bring back all the gadgets that you were later told how to use correctly when you used them incorrectly.
To be honest you put one steak in hot water and the other one on a table. Instead you should have let them both in water letting one float and the other with the gadget. That would hv been a fair comparison .🤷🏽♂️
It looked like the steak was the same even when the claw was removed. I doubt it would have made much difference there. Maybe if there was air in the packaging.
Yes absolutely! That would be such an amazing "blooper reel" - I would totally be up for watching something like that. I always wait right till the end for the little clip after the song As well!
My mother always thawed large meats by setting it in water and then setting our granite cutting board on top of it to weigh it down. Same concept of the claw and it works great!
For the "Thaw Claw" - a heavy ceramic plate on top of the steak will work just as well and you probably already have one of those. Also, I love the inclusion of the family in the videos.
I love how Phoebe is now in that phase of "I love you but that crazy thing you're doing's kinda embarrassing" And Chloe, such a cutie, asking the real questions here! "Is it done?" "What is it supposed to be like?"
After two years of a pandemic working retail, I've finally caught the plague. Having a Barrathon to get me through the worst of it and I honestly think its curing me😂 Thanks Barry and family💕
I absolutely love the respect you show to some of the assistative devices. You're like the only one I know who is respectful about them who isn't a disabled channel and its so relaxing. Thanks for being a decent bloke!
The directions for the "can lid remover" are: You pop the top to release some pressure so you don't get initially sprayed and you want to hold the can more towards the base instead of the middle so you don't accidentally squeeze out the contents.
I defrost my meat in cold water almost daily. It thaws it out quickly every single time. I generally fill a metal mixing bowl with cold water, stick my package of meat in & within a couple hours it's completely thawed & ready to use. The metal mixing bowl keeps the water very cold, too. I didn't realize that this wasn't a "normal" thawing method. I prefer it to sticking the meat in the fridge to thaw or defrosting it in the microwave.
Barry is just such a great guy and he has a loving family it's nice to see them happy and smiling and having fun at the same time it's good bonding and a good way to keep your family strong and close.
Oh no, frozen stuff, especially meat, should never be thawed in lukewarm or warm water. It should be cold running water if you're doing it that way, and never just out on the counter. Huge good safety issue. I worked in good safety for nine years and hold a number of certifications in the field, in case anyone wants to question that.
Here in the US we do not thaw in the sink because of the risk of bacteria. We use a vessel and cold water... A plate on the meat submerged in cool water under the faucet which is set to drip a bit. The moving water thaws food much faster so it reduces risk. I was Serve Safe Certified (US) for many years. I am glad that you caught that too.
@@Dreadtheday Yes! I'm ServSafe too plus HACCP and a couple other things and while the short time the one in the sink was in there was probably okay, the counter is a giant nope for me. I know the UK has different rules for eggs and stuff but I'm curious what they are for thawing meat.
I work in food safety too, in the UK - I also would never recommend defrosting like that. Ideally just place in the fridge and slowly bring it up to temperature! Been scrolling through the comments to see if anyone had actually picked up on that 😂
Our rules for eggs are different because we don't wash off the protective coating on the egg shell meaning it can be left at room temperature and all chickens are vaccinated against salmonella so raw eggs are considered food safe but our food safety is no different when it comes to leaving meat out (as far as I'm aware) and the official advice is to defrost meat slowly in the fridge as far as I'm aware. You're definitely not supposed to do it in warm water.
@@BatteredWing I've never pricked an egg and have never had a shell explode. Unless you mean the yolk, then I love a runny yolk. Can't beat (pardon the pun) an egg "banjo". 🤤
@@ToxoRetro It hasn't happened to me personally, but I also poke my eggs. It is fairly well known that the air bubbles within the egg, with no way out, can cause the egg to explode.

The fastest way to thaw something is with cold running water. The claw could still be useful to hold it right under the stream, though. There was an entire Good Eats episode about it. He melted ice ducks.
@@luns486 To be fair you have a good point. I don't usually thaw things before cooking them these days so it hadn't crossed my mind. Still interesting science though.
Oh my God when phebe said I think that worked.... She sounded exactly like her mother I had to go back and listen to it a couple times or was it Mrs. B?
You can open cans like that with just a hand-operated can opener. I do it all the time. Just make sure you have a decent one that’s somewhat sharp, otherwise it’ll crunch the edges up. I use the opened cans to store can tabs which I later donate.
The best way to thaw quickly: Put item in a bowl or sink; bowl works best because less water. Fill it up with cold water Leave the tap running cold very slightly so that it’s overflowing bit. I usually just let it at a lowest setting that still makes a constant stream. This creates convection, the cold water makes sure it’s keeping the food cold, not hot (so food safety). The cold water is still warmer then the frozen since, well, it’s not frozen water. In about 10min, more of it’s big, it will be thawed. Learned this working in a restaurant kitchen, and I do it all the time for things from shrimp to salmon etc.
To thaw out meat, you should keep it under running water. Put it in a pot/pan big enough to hold it, but with sides tall enough to allow the water to cover it. Then allow a slow stream of water to run over it. At some point the pot/pan will fill and water will flow over, but you want that. You want the constant removal of the cold water. I think the Thaw Claw could help with this as normally it is a pain to keep the meat package submerged (I normally use canned food)
Perfect timing! I'm just about to make dinner! Can't wait to eat and watch this episode! I love you Barry, and I hope you and your family are all doing well :) Thank you all for making me smile.
For the Raclette melter, instead of turning the wedge back around and only melting one side, after the first scrape just move it straight back under the melter so that the wedge is melted evenly and you have consistent results every time.
I love your girls, they're so adorable! I'd love to see a video of them attempting to cook something with your guidance/help, they seem to love being involved in your videos and i think they'd love something that's just about them.
That is a true traditional raclette machine. It's the one used at places like the Park Hotel in Chesieres. The usual way to have raclette is the cheese, a basket of boiled new potatoes, cornichons, and pickled onions. You scrape the cheese onto the potatoes. The newer raclette grills have a grill surface on top & heating element underneath, and frankly I prefer those for when we have a party. Our friends all pitch in bringing things to add to the grill - sliced veggies, thin sliced narinated steak, etc, and I will also bake up a loaf of French bread. Makes a good stone soup meal.
Those salt and pepper shakers would be awesome if you had one of those beauty and the beast type tables. Wonder if it would make it all the way down in a straight line.
Kids, the mouse on your pc didn’t always used to be optical. They used to use a track ball. That’s the mouse balls he’s referring to, for an even older reference he’s not referring to fivels balls.
@@mrbarrylewis Yup cooked potatoes or even better, "Rösti" recipie, it's a sort of potatoe pancake baked with pork grease (called saindoux) and butter. It work very well with raclette cheese :)
The water seperates the the eggwhite from the membrane. its a trick to put freshly boiled egg in cold water. more effective if you bunched a hole with the hole puncher
Do you have a US Amazon link to that can opener? I have one that I got from a crowd sourcing campaign, and it totally crushes cams like the first one you reviewed. If you’ve found one that reliably works, I’d love to get my hands on it.
We say squishy and squidgy they mean slightly different things. Squidgy is usually used for moist things and food so you could have a squidgy cake or piece of bread but a comfy armchair would be squishy.
I'm liking the can opener but the only problem I'd have is the holding of the can due to arthritis, shame there's not some sort of add-on where it could hold the can better.
@@Leanne_w❔ I guess that would release the pressure to prevent fizzing up and therefore spillage. It does however prevent it from having any obvious purpose. 🤔 I'm so confused. Cheers though.
Hi Barry - regarding the egg piercer, I have a cheap plastic one, and I like mine. I hope this makes sense. I hold the egg in my left hand, and use my left-hand fingers to keep the piercer in place. (egg in palm) Using my right hand, I hold the piercer with the ends of my right-hand fingers, then use the balls of my palms to press-in on the back of the tool, while the only thing damaging the egg is the needle. It takes longer to explain it than to pierce a bunch of eggs! Also, I know this isn't Lilliput, but there are definite opinions on which end of the eggs to pierce! Love your videos!
Is that a metal board you have on the left side of the sink? If so, it might be a thawing board. I have one just like it and use it all the time for thawing everything, mostly without the packaging.

There's an upmarket restaurant in Mont Tremblant, QC, Canada that has one, so there's hope for you on your side of the Atlantic.
The best way to thaw quickly:
Put item in a bowl or sink; bowl works best because less water.
Fill it up with cold water
Leave the tap running cold very slightly so that it’s overflowing bit. I usually just let it at a lowest setting that still makes a constant stream.
This creates convection, the cold water makes sure it’s keeping the food cold, not hot (so food safety). The cold water is still warmer then the frozen since, well, it’s not frozen water.
In about 10min, more of it’s big, it will be thawed.
