      Barry, please pour the Guinness much slower next time. It's meant to be treated gently with reverence like some religious rite, not a fast race to the finish. - Seriously if you pour at less than half the speed in the video you'll have a large creamy head.
      Edit, apparently 120 seconds or there abouts is the 'perfect' pour time, so I'm doing it about 30 seconds too fast. Oops.

    Oh Barry, so many user errors in this one!
    - you can't use straight chocolate to cover ice cream, it's too thick and hardens too slowly. You need to add some oil - coconut oil is my favourite but you can use any neutral oil
    - the main feature of the OGrate is that you don't need to lift the cheese, you can grate it on both upwards and downwards motion
    - good that you figured out you were using the grapefruit tool the wrong way
    - why didn't you try the Metaltex juicer over a bottle?
    - you didn't turn the nitrosurger on!

    Oh Barry 🙈 with the Guinness Nitrosurge you have to press the Harp on the top and it glows. The machine makes a noise and while you pour it the flow changes every few seconds to mimic the draft and that’s what adds the nitrogen to the Guinness then you’ll get the domed head

    Dishwasher top rack vs. bottom rack thing, the older style dishwashers have a big ol' heating element in the bottom that melts plastic things on the drying cycle (from experience, a very messy and smelly time!!!), so plastics are safer in the top rack where they're less likely to melt when being dried off... :P

    Hey Barry, professional chocolatier here, and fan of your channel. I would love to know what kind of chocolate you melted to make the ice cream dip, it seemed like the ice cream...while a bit soft, wasn't the issue, the chocolate was the issue. When you were stirring it, it definitely didn't look fluid enough to be an ice cream glaze, so I think it has other fats in it other than cocoa butter, that are making it a bit goopy.

If it has alternative fats in it so it holds it's shape in baking (a lot of groceries selling chocolate chips are for this purpose) , or if it has really alternative fats so it can be made for casual chocolate treats (also known as coating or compound chocolate), then it won't be a very nice dip.

    For the icecream dipper you need a "shell" making chocolate. one that freezes and hardens instantly. I think that will do the trick. I know a while ago reeses and hersheys had something for that.

    To make the chocolate for the ice cream it's easier if you add a bit of refined (deflavored) coconut oil. It mixes in to the chocolate, and hardens at slightly below room temperature. This makes a home version of a product called Magic Shell. I don't remember the precise amounts, but I've used it successfully in the past.

    Is that coffee stirrer just an 80's toy? It looks like the type of thing we used to play with as kids, like the old, OLD wind up robots and stuff, but this looks like something from a bath toy.

    Try turning the nitrosurge on before using it next time, the results are much better if you do.

    I hope Barry has another go with the ice cream moulds and the Guinness gadget.
    Lekue has recipes on their website to use with the moulds and they advise adding 15g of coconut oil to 150g of dark chocolate for dipping. You'll get that crispy crack on the chocolate coating that way and it will harden instantly.

    Add a bit of oil to the chocolate and it will help the chocolate to stick. You can even double dip once the first coat is set.

    I'm wondering if you might need a different kind of chocolate for the ice cream but I haven't attempted that before.
    You are doing an excellent job with everything ❤
    Many blessings 🥰

    For the chocolate dip you needed some coconut oil as well. That’s what makes the ‘magic shell’ snap

    A chocolate "magic shell" would have worked far better for the ice cream. Also, I have had one of those stoneware microwave cookers (called Stone Wave Microwave Cooker here in the states) for ages now. They're also oven-safe, and I, being forever alone, often use mine to make single serving cakes and such in the oven.

  • @scottmichaelharris

    For a chocolate shell. Mix about a third of a cup of coconut oil. Let it cool to room temp (as cold as you can before it hardens)and then dip it.

    @alishahird897 4 місяці тому

    You need to add something like shortening or coconut oil to the chocolate to make it work. Ive seen many chocolate recipe videos do this and I've done it myself (i used a tiny bit of shortening)
    If dipping doesn't go as planned, pour the chocolate over top (then flip and repeat)

  • @angelasg
    @angelasg 4 місяці тому

    You need to thin the chocolate with cooking oil so that it is a liquid at room temperature but sets when cold. I make this "shell" recipe all the time.
