If anyone has any suggestions about the pineapple hack do let us know, it was super tough though and my gut feeling is leaving it a few days may help! The avocado one was super satisfying though, will probably use that again!

I think Ann Reardon reviewed the pineapple thing and showed that if you zoom in on the lifehacks video she was using there were cut marks on the pineapple when they pulled off the segments. It might be worth double checking the video to see if the segments look cut or not if you do it full size on a TV/computer.
I couldn’t get this hack to work either. I even had my son roll it harder than I could and it turned the pineapple into mush. We had to eat it with a spoon!
Green pineapple, it has to be a lot riper to get it to fall apart. Avocado I just cut the skin with the back of the spoon, and it is open that way. The Haas avos have the tougher skin, the butterpears that grow pretty much wild by me the thin skin is very easy to cut, so you just wait till it is nicely brown, soft and then you eat it.
The pineapple thing only works on certain varieties of pineapples (not all pineapples are the same). The ones that work are known as "Cherimoya Pineapple".
@@rolfs2165 This is precisely it. Pineapples don't ripen very much after being picked, and commercial growers pick them slightly under ripe so they ship better. You either need to live locally to where they are produced, or grow them yourselves to be able to use them this way.
Adding about half a teaspoon of cornflour to the cheese in the bag, and gently rolling and shaking the bag to coat the cheese with a very fine film, will prevent big clumps forming and retain individual flakes - as long as it is handled with care…..
Hi Barry! RE the fizzy drinks can hack. Use a sheet of printer paper, fold it in half 5 times to create a hard corner, use that edge around the line of the mouth of the can, the thinest bit that cracks when it opens. you need to press firmly and rub around that line reasonably fast (just a small section of it should be enough). Essentially you are trying to use friction, to heat up that line, that fatigues the metal and causes it to break, like bending a paper clip back and forward over and over till it falls in half. If you do it right it will not take long at all. Hope this helps! Keep up the great videos, love them all :D
9:44 The first off-color joke I can remember on this channel lol. I know there have been many innuendos but nothing so blatant. Frankly, I love it. I'm a bit demented, so there is that.
I love Mrs. B so much and I hated myself that I kept seeing her shirt and thinking those stars looks like Um...pasties lol. Then I'm like no, she's so classy she would be embarrassed I even kept thinking that. Ugh.
I have heard that there is a particular variety of pineapple called a "snacking pineapple", that naturally pulls apart like that. Fairly sure it isn't possible with just any old pineapple.
Not only does it need to be that type, but it needs to be particularly ripe in order for it to work properly, and an odd thing about pineapple is that it doesn't ripent very much after being picked. Commercial pineapples are picked slightly under ripe so they ship better but they don't really ripen much after that. So for the snacking pineapple it must be left on the plant long enough to ripen properly then be picked, so you either need to live close to where they are produced, or grow them yourself.
I like this zipperlock bag one because a case closing the bottom of the grater would stopper it up and keep more cheese from grating in. You could shuffle the cheese down to the bottom of the bag and replace the grater and do a second round of grating, too! Nice! Edit 1: On the pineapple hack, the segments might be easier to pull out if you can snap one of the top ones off as it won't be as tightly wedged in!
The browning on a cake/cupcake is caramelization of the sugar. Wrapping a cake tin (harder to do with a cup[cake tin) with wet tea towels will at least keep the sides from browning. Walton (the brand) makes cake tin wraps too.
The pineapple one was a big one in the zeitgeist a couple years back. They need to be a specific type of pineapple like the bogor or snack pine and they also need to be quite ripe.
The rice can’t be to absorb the grease because the grease would have to go through the wrapper anyway to reach the rice. It could absorb it once it’s gone through but either way you’re gonna have grease on the wrapper.
rice will absorb any liquid and they're often used to keep things dry (instead of silica gel), but if you put enough rice in the bottom that it'll stop grease sticking sticking to the paper form you also risk them pulling all the grease out of the cupcakes and leave them dry
True and only thing it does really is an isolation layer of air, hence the light bottoms. But the rice could actually work for some other pastry where you don't want brown bottoms.
Cooking cupcakes in liners, I've rarely seen an oily bottom, except for the one time we let my mom cook them. Even though she was using liners, she sprayed enough oil into each cup of the pan that - not only did the cupcakes drip oil when you picked them up - the bottoms of the cakes were basically fried :P
Hello, Barry. A hack that I have seen and I would like to see you try is using ice cream cones, the type that is flat on the bottom, as casings for your cupcakes. I have seen it and it looks cool and it is also is tasty.
Omg how funny I did the same exact thing with this same exact grater - used the bottom little box piece like one time and then it fell off the face of the earth and I never saw it again!
You had the same problem the other time you tried the pineapple one, not ripe enough. It needs to be really ripe. And maybe what someone said it only works with certain varieties. I just use my slicer. ( The twisty thing) Always. I love it, ever since my mom bought that thing somewhere in the 80's I think. Easy, no fuss, no mess, and if you want, you end up with a big pineapple cup for your drink or as serving thing for your fruitsalad.
LOVE the plastic bag idea over the grater EXCEPT I'm going to adapt it to use with my electronic Tefal grater - that thing shoots grated cheese/carrot all over the place even with a bowl under it. I'm not too bothered about when I use the box grater ( I too have the container but never use it) as I usually am grating things to use immediately and just scrape from a cutting board into a pot, onto a pizza etc.
I have not done the fizzy drinks can hack with the modern cans and paper but in girl guides a few (cough) years ago I did it with the old style cans where the puller pulled the hole completely off with a small stone, for a merit badge. So I know the principle works because you are wearing away the thinnest part of the can, I wonder what is hidden within that piece of paper on the original hack video, maybe a thin piece of metal like a razor blade ?
I'm a gourmet decorator, so I have to pick fresh pineapple for tarts daily..... Your pineapples sir aren't ripe enough, so that would definitely effect the hack 100%. They're too green, they need to be more yellow with some brown... I'd revisit the back with a more ripe pineapple 🍍
I've literally said this after every avocado hack, professional line cooks just rip them in half, pick out the pits & squeeze the flesh out. I f you need to hold the squish throw a few of the pits back in or cover the surface with cling film & sprinkle dried onions over the film before you put the lid on & it will stay fresh & green for a few hours with the pits or about a day sealed in with the onion. Finally & at last you rip open an avocado, feels good dosen't it.
I usually have to cut into the pineapple top at least a little bit like level off the top but I've actually been able to do it I've been able to do it I've been able to peel it apart like that it's really cool now that pineapple has to be plenty ripe
You did a hack on kitchen gadget 11 that was basically the same idea that worked kinda mrs. B got it to work you said those also weren’t ripe enough tho
Oof those poor, hard, green, unripe British pineapples. They should be yellow almost all the way up. The best way to tell if they’re ripe is to look for the yellow color and smell the bottom where stalk has been cut. It should be have a super fragrant pineapple smell!
So, pineapples are technically berries, thus the diamond shapes for their skin. The berries grow together into that shape. If you start from the top and dig in at the bottom of each berry with your thumb, and then lift up, it should be much easier.
For the pineapple, you probably need to be in a country closer to where they grow. The ones available in Europe are usually picked unripe 🤷 I'm currently in the Philippines, and here they separate easily
If anyone has any suggestions about the pineapple hack do let us know, it was super tough though and my gut feeling is leaving it a few days may help!

Pineapple is better if you just cut around each of the diamonds. Takes less time than the banging and rolling.

The easiest way to get the segments to pull out is use a knife 😂😂
That hack's a fake sadly.

The jumpcuts on the garlic video where they drew the shape and then cracked the egg to where it actually hit the pan were so obvious 😂
The pineapple thing only works on certain varieties of pineapples (not all pineapples are the same). The ones that work are known as "Cherimoya Pineapple".
I wouldn't be surprised if it also requires the pineapple to have ripened on the plant.
@@rolfs2165 This is precisely it. Pineapples don't ripen very much after being picked, and commercial growers pick them slightly under ripe so they ship better. You either need to live locally to where they are produced, or grow them yourselves to be able to use them this way.
Those pineapples aren't ripe, full yellow is ripe.
@@nolansykinsley3734 still doesn't change the fact this only works with Cherimoya Pineapple.
I grow my own pineapples, so I cut the top off to grow it
Have you ever been in a situation where you’re having a bad day and Barry releases a video and cheers you up? I have! Thanks Barry and Mrs Barry!
Me currently. Many times.
Every time I see a Barry video I am cheered up! Though I have learnt not to watch his videos when hungry unless I'm currently eating lol
Have you ever been in a situation where you just had breakfast then hear Barry say “avocado pus”
Is there a hack for that?
sorry lol
No, but well when I’m having diner
you eat snot fruit that is named after a Mesoamerican word for testicle...
No, but we were eating dinner and heard it 🤢🤭
That plastic bag hack reminds me of something that bakers tend to do as well. Making parchment paper cones for a disposable piping bag.
oh yeah!
Adding about half a teaspoon of cornflour to the cheese in the bag, and gently rolling and shaking the bag to coat the cheese with a very fine film, will prevent big clumps forming and retain individual flakes - as long as it is handled with care…..
Mrs. Becky has become so much more relaxed in front of the camera over time! Great job, Mrs. B!
I noticed the same! :-D
Barry: Have you ever been in a situation?
Me: Ugh, I hate when that happens.
🤣👍
"What's that noise?"
"It's just the neighbours bashing their pineapples."
"I'm so excited I nearly called you Mrs Brie" 🤣🤣
I love watching you two together, hold onto what you have💕
I can't say that greasy cupcake papers have ever been a problem I needed to solve.
Me either; I've never heard of that problem...
I would appreciate a solution for this one seeings as the rice hack didn't work. I hate the greasiness on your fingers when peeling a cupcake.
Becky’s shirt 😂😂 interestingly placed gray stars ⭐️ looks like perfectly placed ninnies

Don't feel bad, Barry. I've seen several people trying the garlic to get egg shapes. It hasn't worked for any of them.
cool to know!
I love how the corner always changing ❤️
Okay we need a cake recipe video because they looked amazing
YESSSSSS
I just started the bag over the cheese grater hack recently. best hack ever
I love Mrs. B so much and I hated myself that I kept seeing her shirt and thinking those stars looks like Um...pasties lol. Then I'm like no, she's so classy she would be embarrassed I even kept thinking that. Ugh.
Yep, was in my mind too, right from the start :D
Absolutely love you two, such amazing chemistry between you 😍🥰😘
Not to be depressing but watching your videos have really helped me the past few years

Just when you think the 🦭 joke is worn out. He sneaks it in and you burst into laughter. Thanks Mr. and Mrs. B for our hangout times via RUclips. ❤

i really enjoyed this hack-off. 👍
its so nice to see the love you have for each other. 💞
Barry... mate please, we're eating dinner whilst watching this... What a night for Avocado 🥑 😂
Shirt idea!!!! "I think we're going to need a bigger bag!" -Mrs. B
Awesome, I need something to lift the mood at the moment! well timed video 🙂

Random happy birthday during the pineapple rolling lol 👍
😂 Barry trying to hack the hack with the rice grain 😂… also so much fruit abuse 🥑 🍍 🫣
so much fun with both of you together.
Love the star “pastie” t shirt on Mrs B 😂
I don't get it, are you referencing Cornish pasties as they are usually crescent shaped? I am confuse.
@@ticketyboo2456 no they mean fancy nipple covers lol
@@ticketyboo2456 Bless your innocence 😂
It was sweet leaving the grain of rice so she’d know which side was which 🥹 even though it was pointless 😂
I've been burned by the stove, kettle and toaster in my kitchen, but never by my wife. Mrs B is great.
we need mrs b’s cupcake recipe!! they look outstanding 🫶

Love Barry’s videos
To pull out individual pieces, I cut around the bottom core. Then, I pull the pieces down and out.
may try that!

Very interesting and good 😋. Thanks for sharing 👍
😄
Mrs. B t shirt 🤣🤣 OMW
Excited for this- no soggy bottom
A bit of corn starch into the bag with the cheese will stop it clumping up. You only need a very small amount, then give the bag a shake.
nice call
It won't melt the same.
The cheese hack was the best. 😀
Pulled chicken using Headwhisk, wide thin blades work best.
That 'it's my wife' joke never gets old... except to your wife who every time you say it rolls her eyes further back!!!
Omg how funny I did the same exact thing with this same exact grater - used the bottom little box piece like one time and then it fell off the face of the earth and I never saw it again!
Thanks for the smile yall...
Yes! A new kitchen hacks video posted on my 27th birthday! :)
Happy belated Birthday 🎂😜
Pull the bottom few inches of leaves off the pineapple tops and plant them...
For shaped fried eggs, you can just used cookie cutters to get the shape
I like the cheese grater hack
@9:39 another throwback to Barry’s teenage years

This was the first one in a LONG time (maybe ever?) that didnt have a followup bit after your singing!
My husband has those moments too, lololol!
The cheese hack is grate!
It's brielliant
@@mrbarrylewis Haha had to read that twice thinking it was a typo 😅 🤣
It's a gouda one.

Have you got the recipe for the cupcakes please they look delicious 😋
You guys are relationship goals
I like the cheese hack it was "grate"
I've done this with a pineapple, but it was super ripe. I can't imagine ever being able to do it with one as green as those.
Honestly on the pineapple hack you need a certain kind of pineapple to do that, the ones that come home from Hawaii do not do that.
I believe the point of the egg one is not the garlic, but instead the oil. You should be able to use butter to get the same results.
peeling a boiled egg using tea spoon. amazing hack
You got roasted at 2:39 and you had no comeback… 😂

I think Mrs B had a dirty joke breakdown at 9:48 that Mr B deftly edited out! 😁
That cupcake thing I've never had. Seems to try to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
Hack to have longer lasting cut avocado 🥑, cut with a non-metal knife. Metal contact makes it oxide faster
i have NEVER heard of cupcakes being greasy.
Having your Mrs join you for a hack off? Sounds fun
You did a hack on kitchen gadget 11 that was basically the same idea that worked kinda mrs. B got it to work you said those also weren’t ripe enough tho
Yeah I agree...I don't think your pineapple was ripe enough, it needs to have more of a yellow tint.
yeah, some folks saying video is fake too
@@mrbarrylewis Have done it myself, it works on ripe pineapples 🍍
I think use grated cheese on pan fry egg in centre
Oof those poor, hard, green, unripe British pineapples. They should be yellow almost all the way up. The best way to tell if they’re ripe is to look for the yellow color and smell the bottom where stalk has been cut. It should be have a super fragrant pineapple smell!
A idea popped into my head about fryed egg shapes would cracking a egg into different cookie cutters and frying work ?
Squeeze the avacado. Squeeze, squeeze the avacado.
I have been in many situations.
Cheese grater? Cheddar shredder.
Mrs B: Have you ever been in that situation where.....
Me: YOU'VE LOST YOUR KEYS AND YOUR MOBILE PHONE ♪♫
One day she will say it
Jamie Aubrey What song is that?
that's why the egg video was sped up so much, just proves they were hiding something to trick you like a jump cut
Those grater tubs disappear on purpose. I have lost 3 from graters over the years.
The rice trick is to prevents burning not grease buildup
Mrs Barry is so cute!
I like sassy Mrs B
