- Lets put some viral kitchen hacks to the test! More kitchen hack testing videos on the kitchen hack playlist • We tested Kitchen Hack...
You can find 100's of more fun food videos, recipe steps & ingredients, merch like books & t-shirts plus my own kitchen gadgets on my website barrylewis.net
So what did Mrs Barry & I make of these? Well, I don't think you should be using a whisk on an orange any time soon and melting chocolate can be done way better easier ways, the risk of it seizing (like I think it did the first time) sort of made that a fail. But the food hack with the chopsticks, may mean a few more date nights at a sushi place!

I think the lettuce one was pretty good, can't believe i've not done that before with other things too! Remember we've got the 34 other (& growing!) kitchen hack testing videos on this playlist, have a watch and grab the popcorn! ua-cam.com/video/jdKv_PUEL90/v-deo.html
Or you can use your other hand to hold the lettuce in place.
while you're eating the popcorn, use chopsticks. It keeps your fingers clean, and you get easy practice on how to use them. I'm sure one bag and Mrs. B will be a pro.
Lasted about a long as Liz Truss
I like how Barry's face lit up at the mention of "danger" and the "toaster" 😄
Well do I remember his adventures in voltage with that grilled cheese toaster. It's a miracle he didn't end up like Marv from Home Alone 2.
Still, they handled the marshmallow hack alright. I thought I was gonna have to play Fire Shaman from the Stardust Crusaders OST again, like I did when Barry gave that puny little toaster a good hard British 230V. (it might have been 240V, but the point stands that Barry gave that appliance a proper electronic rodgering)
Actually, we do. It was altered in early 2003.
230V, 50Hz. Most of Europe uses this system.
Barry’s toaster shenanigans is why I subscribed in the first place.
@@Okurka. In 1994, to remove a perceived barrier to trade between European countries, the European Commission (EC) decided to 'harmonise' the standard UK mains voltage of 240 V and the European standard of 220 V at 230 V.
230 Volts is the nominal Voltage In the UK, the tolerance for our electricity supply is 230 volts -6%, +10%. This gives an allowed voltage range of 216.2 volts to 253.0 volts.
Might not wanna use that chocolate one! Just because the plastic packaging is food safe in room temperature doesn't mean it won't seep carcinogens/microplastics into the chocolate in nearly boiling water
This shows how good of a husband Barry is. All of these hacks were absolutely terrible but he was fully supportive and positive the whole time.
u know what barry, I have been watching you ever since phoebe and chloe were small, enjoyed your vlogs too. Now, I am in culinary school and I think you were one of those people who low key pushed me to cook, thank you and mrs b 🫶🏼
I think that video of the orange and the whisk looks edited at the end when the segments fall out. I love how you keep it real in these videos about what hacks actually work or not!
1000%
He was holding the handle of the whisk. If you look at the video on the phone they showed, the person is holding the whacks down by the orange. I wonder if that has something to do with it.
@@Ranadkins Exactly it makes the wires tighter around the orange.
I'm calling these videos "gen z making life harder than it needs to be" part 35 lol
Your next video should be a chopstick hacks video find a way for mrs B to use them without getting an entire pack of noodles on them🤣🤣🤣
We need a Mrs B tshirt "Have you ever been in a situation where you need a Mrs B hack?"
Haven't you done toaster marshmallows before or have I gone mad? (EP 26)
Edit You've definitely done the chocolate one before, except it went into a pan of boiling water instead of the kettle. (EP 25)
I was thinking that! I was getting mad deja vu watching this 🤣
Thank you!! I came to the comments to see if I was the only one...lol!!!
Definitely s'mores with maxhmellow toaster trick
Mrs. B’s look when the lettuce falls off the counter 😂😂😂
the orange and whisk one is ok but the end part faked, they cut the video where the whisk hit the top and then skipped ahead to where the orange segments were on the out side
question is what can you cook inside a sandwich toaster? (NOT including sandwiches)
ive done mashed potato, mashed sweet potato, pancakes, eggs, bacon, chicken breast, turkey breast, sausages...
That orange whisk hack clip looked to me like they smashed the whisk with the orange down, and then did a cut to the segments on the board, the whisk starting to lift up.
Come for the hacks, stay for the wholesomeness. Love seeing your wife included in videos. Always makes me smile.
Butane torch is absolutely ideal for toasting marshmallows. Orange cutting thing is absolutely the typical social media hack: takes twice as long as the normal method, is more difficult than the normal method, and dirties twice as much stuff that needs washing. haha
Look at Mrs. B worried about a thumbnail. I'm so proud of her 😁😁
I love Mrs.B, she's such a cutie!
Mrs B "Have you ever been in a situation, where"
Me: "You've lost your keys and your mobile phone"
One day, one day she will say it
Yeah don't take your hacks from 5-minute's channels, they fake pretty much every damn video they make. Bound to fail if you try them yourself.
Excellent 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a great day everyone 🌻
The whisk one made me laugh so much I couldn’t breath and my cat climbed on my lap to see if I was okay 😂😅
Barry *smashing the whisk into the orange* 🤣
How bloody adorable is Becky. She’s an absolute sweetheart.
Agree, Barry is a lucky fella.
If you have chocolate that you want to melt (without a microwave) using the tea kettle and the candy bar is in foil, just place it in a plastic sandwich bag and either seal it up. This would be good as well if you have a bag of morsels and only want to melt a portion of the bag.
Mrs. B! I know why chopsticks don’t work for you, it’s because you use a quadridigital (four-finger) grip on a pen or pencil. Try to focus on using a tridigital grip, and you’ll have better success.
Mrs. B can use her hands to eat the sushi. That is how you eat them in Japan not with chopsticks, but noodles you can't use your hands. Chopsticks are actually easy to use but yes a fork is the easiest.
Watched this video yesterday and my daughter out the chopstick hack to the test today, it was a complete success, keep the great videos coming 👍
Barry please fix your last video, I want to watch it 😢x
The orange would probably work with a really cheap flimsy whisk. It needs to be super flexable.
The issue with the toaster is its not hot enough. You need to have enough heat to toast the outside before the inside gets hot. To little heat an the whole thing just melts.
Had a migraine all day and just woken up in time for this! My body knew!
For the orange hack, I saw a minor blip in the video. Don't think they popped the slices out by banging on the counter.
Okay, better way to do smore's.
Put them in the oven under the grill.
You can fill a half sheet with about 10-12, so it works for a crowd
Graham cracker, chocolate, marshmallow and just watch it so you know when it's "done" for you.
Put the second cracker on top when done.
Right, OK, I have a question/suggestion. The scissor prongs. Think they'd suit being called "sprongs'? 🤣
lots of the hacks are just editing tricks. like the orange somehow magically is fully below the whisk when it's slapped down lol
There are actual gadgets to help people learn how to use chopsticks. They look a bit like clothes pegs but are essentially tubes on a hinge. That'd be helpful for Mrs. B. Then you won't have to "knit" noodles or stab sushi.
I had to go for a wee before the toaster part, the anticipation of another toaster fire would have been too much to hold it in... :P
i want to add something about the kettle hack, I actually melted chocolate with a similar method before. you boil the kettle, you place a heat-safe bowl on top of it and put the chocolate inside the bowl. voila!
It seems a bad idea to dissolve the glue from the chocolate package and then squeeze it out to. Not to mention it doesn't seem safe to boil plastic with a lot of printed images if you plan on eating the chocolate afterwards.
As someone who's terrible with a knife, the orange+whisk hack looks like the dumbest idea since Liz Truss for PM.
Love these contents with you and Mrs Lewis
"Can I just say, with my toaster knowledge..." 😝 Barry should start a "Toaster knowledge"-series!
Am I crazy? I thought he did the marshmallows toaster thing before.
6:33 because most online hacks videos are faked anyway just to get the views
"Photograqphy? Snap, snap, grin, grin, wink, wink, say no more?"
3:00 i never have that much trouble cutting oranges, i just peel them and rip the sections off.
lol that orange, you can literally see the jump cut in the 5minutecrafts video
I have never heard 4 consecutive Yeahs in a row and each time grow with enthusiasm.
Love it
I don't understand what the rubbing it did in the first hack. ?
Love watching you two do these videos.
Who knew slicing an orange was such a whisky business 😂😂
A secret upload? 😜
Headphone users beware hahaha of the foil lmao! These were good!
And that thrown away lettuce went on to beat Liz Truss
Okay I highly doubt I'd melt chocolate like that all the time but if I have a bar in the cupboard it could make it so easy to fancy up some cupcakes or something quick.
I think the orange hack was a wire head massager not a whisk
I have roasted marshmallows over a candle before. It works pretty well.
You can see the jump cut on the orange video.
I just toast my marshmallows on the oven hob
@Alex Davis you are one tough cookie having such frequent migraines and still functioning! Get better soon 😊
Rather than @ing someone in the comments thread.. why not reply to the persons comment rather that a separate comme t they many not see.. justa suggestion
@@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer thanks 😊 I remember her from the premiere live chat. I’m not good with even basic tech and it was 2am where I am 😁 Epic brain fart 💨
That foil “hack” is so useless lol
Noooooo! Not a toaster hack 🚨 🚨🚨🚨 🔥
You've inspired me to try roasting marshmallows in my kebob rotisserie lol
The problem with TikTok "hacks" is they don't show you the hundred attempts they made that didn't work. Thanks Barry for providing this valuable service!
LOL the outro made me think of Monty Python... "Some Photography....say no more, say no more! nudge, nudge, wink, wink!" LOL -- Love these hack videos, there are some bangers and some fails, but always fun to watch.
I don't know if anyone ever suggested this but when I make meatloaf I use a gallon ziploc bag to mix hamburger, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, eggs & any other ingredients. Then squish/mix them together. Dump in baking dish & use the baggie to protect my hand as I'm mushing the meatloaf evenly in the baking dish. Toss the baggie. Easy clean up.
When I was in my early 20’s I worked the salad bar at a steak house. I was taught to never ever use a metal knife on lettuce because it would cause a chemical reaction that made the lettuce go brown faster. That was almost 40 years ago now and I wonder if this has been definitively broken untrue? Anyone know the answer?
I use chopsticks every day, so the chopstick hack was hilarious. I personally think noodles are much more enjoyable, when you use your chopsticks, so it’s worth it to learn how to use them properly, although I appreciate your attempt.
Thanks for another brilliant video! 😊
Don’t be ashamed Mrs B., I have to ask for a fork too when I go to an Asian food joint! I just can’t master the chopsticks… Everything falls off them and I go hungry and frustrated 😟😩
I can't believe you've never mentioned Anne Reardon, she has a youtube channel and debunks a lot of these hacks and the companies that put out fake/dangerous ones
I'm trying to think of a situation where you have a plugin toaster but no microwave/oven/grill/hob. I'm sure there must be one. Oh yes, of course! Filming life changing Tiktok hack videos!
How long before someone makes a Kitchen Hack with marshmellows and parchment in an airfryer ?😇😋😛
Also i think the Wisk hack seems kinda like you need a bit more flexable wisk type and one with less wisking thingies (Segment Pins ?).
Dry the chocolate bar wrapper before you open it... the first drop of water that hits the melted chocolate will ruuuuuuuuuin it completely if you're using it in a sauce or ganache or really, anything. Chocolate HATES water.
With the orange/whisk thing, they cheated using editing, for the first part they filmed a whisk hitting the orange, then cut to the orange in the whisk hitting the counter, then when it was cut they filmed the whisk with the orange in going towards the counter and cut to an empty whisk hitting an opened orange that is already on the counter - you can see its all still attached at the very bottom of the orange
There are so many easier and safer ways of toasting marshmallows, that I don't know why you'd bother with this one. Toasting over a candle or under the grill are probably the easiest or over the embers at the end of a BBQ (most similar to a campfire).
Have you tried a small fan by your chopping board when chopping onions ? All the crying will be blown away xx. Chris from the Isle of Wight
The 2nd hack, in the movie you've shown they clearly grab the whisk and pinch it tight while cutting and slamming on the counter, you do exactly the opposite..
With the whisk "hack", there's a jump cut when they slam it down and the orange slices fall out.
At this point I feel like any hack that doesn't use a whisk for it's actual purpose, is just fake.
We need a episode on what’s the best method for saving money whilst cooking oven /air fry
Kettle/ hob be very educational and relevant for present times with inflation affecting everyone..
Barry deserves a million subscribers!
Uhm, sorry the beer talk. Hesselback? Potatoes will be wicked. I'll stop here and watch. I have no real life. Love to every one.
Sorry Mrs B but this is really poor form, every "hack" was just... I dont know what to say, I'm sad.
If you get a pair of chop sticks, a rubber band and a piece of roll up cardboard. Put the rubber band aound the top of the chopsticks then slide in the cardboard between the sticks Mrs B will be able to use them.
have you ever been in a situation where you want to open a jar, but the lid's stubborn? take a pair of tinsnips, and make a small cut on the side of the lid. this should loosen it. if it doesn't, just make another cut, and eventually the lid will admit defeat.
11:00 You have a gas burner there. Safety tip? Foil around in case of a clean up? (Bec :( ) Don't do it..
You don't need to worry about having a toaster on with nothing in it...but melting marshmallows like that is not a great idea, if some falls in you're probably just going to have to buy a new toaster.
Maybe put a piece of aluminum foil on top of the toaster to prevent the marshmallow from dropping down into the toaster. I love your hack videos!
Seeing the way you two are together on camera just warms up my heart. It’s so apparent how much you both love each other.
Thanks for cheering me up while I’m sick. ❤
The hack with the lettuce: If you have a sieve with elongated slots instead of holes, simply put it over the lettuce and cut through the slots.
My Grandson's did this when their Mom my daughter was out of the room and our house cought on fire the whole house had to be rebuilt they were 6 and 3 I will never let them forget it and today they are 23 & 21
Seems that 95% of these hacks take longer/more effort than doing things the normal way :) So unhacks really !
8:51 - This hack is cool but I feel like if I did this in Korea they would deport me back to America xD
Content farms are the absolute worst for "hacks" and they almost always never work and have edited the video to make them seem like they do literally just for content.
loving the world of warcraft-y music during the marshmallow toaster hack
All she did was take off the rippled part, it's like when you get something stuck on tape, you just unroll it a couple times and you have nice pretty fresh tape again
Tip for the marshmallows in the toaster get them sandwich bags gets some biscuits put a marshmallow in and chocolate and another biscuit and you can do it that way aswell
Why don't you try the marshmallow hack with a piece of foil over the toaster top. The heat will still get through, and it can't get through to the heating elements.
I think I would feel safer toasting the graham cracker in the toaster, then putting the marshmallow and chocolate between the hot grahams.
Blowtorch and show off..
Yes it's powdered starch, not sugar.
I toast my marshmallows over a candle. Can only do one at a time but fun when sat watching a film or something.
Maggie noodles for me, so cheaper and quicker when you have nothing.
My guess is that most people probably have scissors that the turkey fork prong thing
