Cracking eggs on a corner of something makes shell come away from the white membrane. Cracking eggs on a flat surface help the shell stay attached to the membrane preventing the shell from ending up in the egg you are cooking. Learnt that trick years ago while watch some random French chef on tv at around 3am some random morning
I'm always unsure when it comes to math and such. So I found myself trying to wrap my mind around breaking an egg on a concave curve Also, to use the big shell to scoop a shard out. Doesn't work perfectly, but much better than your hand.
About the rice... what it you just pour the rice inside a washed and dried up bottle instead of trying to melt the top part of the bottle to a rice packet?🤔😜
Or you buy smaller packs of rice, cook the whole pack in a ricecooker and then freeze the leftovers to mikrowave later. Ricecooker I find is anyways the most underused kitchen utensil in western kitchens I can think of. I recently got one for my mom, and she find it too be super convenient. It’s so much easier than to use a pan. I have mine since 7 years and it works a Charme. You can also throw in some quinoa and lentils and cook it all together, put some sauce and few veggies and you have a full meal that almost cooked itself :) If you feeling really fancy and have a bigger model you can even use the steam from the rice to steam your veggies while you cooking the rice inside of the cooker
Alternatively get a milk bottle and cut it like the coke bottle was and pull the hole in the packet through the hole in the milk bottle and then close the bottle top over it. You can pour it through the milk bottle hole and reseal it
I love that you can tell their relationship/how long they've been together, that Mrs. B is going on a passionate rant about how Barry opens packaging XD
Regarding the rice bag + coke bottle top hack, just scrunch the bag together at the top, run the open part of the bag through the cut-off coke bottle top, pull it down past the threading in the bottle top, and then screw the lid on. One more instance for you to stop burning yourself.
I love having them in the videos too, it does impact our time together off camera - (eg being a family) sometimes which is something I need to think about rather than spending quality time with them putting a camera in front of them isn't always ideal so I try to only do it when we can and not burn them out
When you said cheesy hot dog on a stick I immediately thought of the restaurant chain "dog on a stick". They have cheese chunks the length of hot dogs, put on sticks. then battered, and deep fried like a corn dog. It's delicious. Pepper jack is my fav!!
@@koskosneko I went for the first time in easily 15 years, a few months ago. The lemonade and pepperjack cheese dog was as amazing as I remember!! But I do miss the uniforms from the 90s lol that tall hat was awesome 😃
Because of you, I've started putting paprika on everything! All these years, I never realized what I was missing out on! (Truthfully always thought it was flavorless. I've been taught my lesson now!)
The cooking hack I remember most is a quick way to peel garlic. You put cloves (or the whole bulb if possible) in a jar, put on the lid and shake it around for a while. The peels practically fall off! I remember that one most because I found out after cutting and peeling 1 kilo (2.2 pounds) of garlic to make Fermented honey garlic! 🤣
The corn in the bunt pan, my family has been doing that for generations at harvest. We blanch the corn, cut it off the cob and freeze it. A bunt pan has been used more for processimg sweet corn than actual cake.
With those potato flowers, you could open up a ridiculously expensive restaurant and sell them covered in unnecessary gold leaf and salt sprinkled in a silly manner and annoy food critics too... :P
Instead of slamming the knife blade down on the stone, I find it easier to gently press it into the stone, then when the knife is pressed in about half an inch I go ahead and twist it and remove the stone. Especially if it’s a paring knife or something, it’s so much easier and much less likely to result in a missing appendage
I love all your content especially when you have Ms B or the girls on. I really miss the lives you did where you walked the dogs with us and showed us more daily life and things. You are a beautiful family from another country and I just live everything about it.
The rice hack. You gotta cut the top off a bottle and thread the opening of the bag through the hole, (it's opened all the way across one end) open the bag around the edge and seal it with the cap.
I saw the corn/bundt pan hack on the foodnetwork years ago. I've used it and it works. Especially helpful when you scrape the milk from the cob, no mess.
The exterior of the eggshells should NOT have contact with the yolk or white, nor with the pan, in order to prevent salmonella. Also, washing your hands afterwards is recommended.
@@pennyhero7873 Sadly, the lion mark doesn’t protect you from everything. Having kept chickens which were all vaccinated against salmonella I can tell you that the bacteria on the shells can make you unwell. Think about where that egg just came from and how often you see “free range” eggs with feathers or droppings stuck to them. Here is the U.K. government advice : Avoiding the spread of bacteria. Bacteria can spread very easily from eggs to other foods, as well as hands, utensils and worktops. There can be bacteria on the eggshell as well as inside the egg, so take care when handling them. These tips can help avoid the spread of bacteria: Keep eggs away from other foods, both when they are in the shell and after you have cracked them. Be careful not to splash egg onto other foods, worktops or dishes. Always wash and dry your hands thoroughly after touching eggs or working with them. Clean surfaces, dishes and utensils thoroughly, using warm soapy water, after working with eggs. Don't use eggs with damaged shells, because dirt or bacteria might have got inside them
I've heard New York City has more hand injuries from cutting bagels in half than any other cause. Can't you get corn in the husk? It is so much better when you take off the husk and put it straight in the microwave.
Cut the end off (the not pointy end), leave in the husk, microwave and then squeeze the corn out (from the pointy end). No silks remain, cooks beautifully. I never cook corn any other way!
Gosh! A new one!💖💖 My entire family (except the dogs and the cat) loves yours! Also loved the video and was very impressed with how many successful ones you had this time Barry!
Mr. and Mrs. B are always able to make me laugh, which makes my day! Thank you! I live in Maine (US) and we are known for our red, natural casing hotdogs, which are awesome! I must say I have never seen hotdogs in a jar before. Quite interesting!
Mrs B - “That’s quite a successful video for you” Barry - “That’s quite a successful video for youi” 😂 Maybe they’ve been stuck together in the house for too long 😂
Love the potato flower and the corn hack. Maybe hot glue the bottle top to the bag then zip the bag closed. Also cut more off the top so it’s flat. Keep this videos coming. Love them
@@mrbarrylewis You don't need an excuse for looking that fly dude. My brother has a fabulous collection of button up shirts covered in ALL SORTS of stuff. (He took his inspiration from Winston on New Girl). It's a good look!
On the bag hack, I have learned from making gingerbread houses using an icing tip and a plastic bag. First cut a tiny hole then force the tip though expand the plastic and creating a seal. then wrap a twist tie around it to hold it in place. I regards to the bottle you could do the same thing with the bag but if the plastic is not stretchy then cut a hole about the size of the cap and when cutting the bottom leave about 1/4th inch around the end and push it though the opening the bag should grip the bottle because of the thinner part between the lip and the start of the container.
I use that melting a bottle cap onto a bag. You have to have a lot of patience so you don't melt holes in it. Use the heat of the flame not the flame itself. Or just use tape. You actually need to have a lot more patience. With that cheese hotdog you need to wait for the cheese to brown and crisp before flipping them you get a crunchy browned cheese crust. I use breakfast sausage and pancakes with pepperjack.
I really don't get 'hacks' that just make life harder. The rice one was just 'because it's something to do' because it pours perfectly fine, bulldog clip the top and be done with it 🙈🤣 but the potato flowers looked fun! Love your guys chemistry just so wholesome 🥰🥰
That avocado one changed my life! I always do it that way now! The riper the better! And that corn one i seen people shuck it by pressing it through all the way instead of cutting it!
I used to work in a restaurant in the whitsundays and thats how the chefs would crack the eggs for the buffet breakfasts every morning and we never had any complaints of shell in the eggs
That hot dog hack looks like a State Fair version of what our family called "Weiner Winks" - a hot dog wrapped in yellow American cheese & white bread and toasted.
About the rice bag thing. The two sources of plastic have different thicknesses. The bottle wont get to melting point before the bag burns and gets holes in it.
That rice bag hack reminds me of the coffee bag clip I 3d printed. Came with a screw on cap, just pour out the coffee. The plastic and lighter trick only works on thermoplastics closer to MDPE plastics, which shrink wrap is made out of, rather than LDPE that most packages of that nature are made out of. It can shrink, but it's way too easy to go over with the method used
With the hotdogs, you're supposed to put the skewered bread and hotdogs onto a lightly greased griddle, heat until toasted/slightly browned, remove from pan then melt the cheese and roll the cooked hotdogs skewers in it.
Even IF there was no egshell left in the pan, the yolks and whites have still touched the OUTSIDE of the egg, which is the general problem with getting eggshell into your food.
Rich Wood It makes sense if you don't want to consume all the hot dogs at once. You keep the rest in the brine in the closed jar ready for later consumption. When they come in those sealed plastic wrappers you have to go to the trouble of finding another receptacle to store the remainder.
Howdy! For the other kitchen hack videos to date, check out this link to watch the full playlist ruclips.net/video/jdKv_PUEL90/видео.html
I will put an avocado on the counter and slam the knife into the seed, works like a charm and my hands do not get sliced open
The name "Bloomin' potato" came instantly to mind. You have my permission to use that. ;>)
You didn't hear the noise the egg made when it hit the pan?
"ouf"
MAYBE JUST STORE THE RICE IN THE BOTTLE! LOL

You should use a convex curve, idk who but a foodscientist said so. Works for me every time
I'm always unsure when it comes to math and such. So I found myself trying to wrap my mind around breaking an egg on a concave curve

I have never seen a jar of hotdogs and I'm scared and amazed all at once.
Where are you from?
I'm from the US and have lived in the Mid-West and West Coast.
I was going to say same, live in US have only seen hotdogs in jar on these videos.
I scrolled down the comments to check if anyone was as confused as me. Never ever heard of hot dogs in jar 😳
I love that you can tell their relationship/how long they've been together, that Mrs. B is going on a passionate rant about how Barry opens packaging XD
“Wide Eyes and the Terror of the Inevitable Flame: The Trials and Tribulations of Mrs. B” It might win a Pulitzer.
"they're dangerous when you do them... " - Mrs B dropping facts.
"That's on fire, Barry!" I wonder how many times that has been said to cook, and budding toaster pyromaniac, Barry Lewis?

"This next hack involves fire."
Barry+ fire= hilarity or disaster. 😂 *burns his finger and lights the bottle top edge on fire* Case proven. 😶
Barry + fire = *EVERYONE PANICS* 😂
This is quickly becoming one of my most favorite series on Barry's channel - next to tiny food ideas and transparent food :D
You can also use an apple corer to make an onion flower as well, similar to what you did with the potatoes.
Straight in for the Mr and Mrs B banter gold 👌🏻

Hi Barry, very entertaining. Ouefs are eggs in French. Spanish for eggs is huevos.
Yum, nothing like melted plastic and fumes next to your food! I'm definitely going to try the corn hack though, that looks very handy.

Can we please have Mrs Barry in every episode?
The videos with Mrs B are the best, you two together crack me up! 👍☺️
Lmao, you guys are ALWAYS a BLAST to watch!! I really liked the potato flower, but I don't have one of the apple cutter things.

You can use a angel food cake pan for the corn too! Been doing that one for years to process corn for freezer or canning.
Love watching you pair work together its always a laugh keep up the good work
You know you're in for a good video when the little teaser a the start involves FIRE.
The avocado hack was brilliant. I’m going to use that all the time in future. Thanks for sharing.
Mrs B is so funny she makes my day with the things she comes out with Lol
Omg, I couldn’t stop laughing, Mrs B is hilarious, gotta love her.
Always good to see you Mrs Barry, and of course Barry! I enjoyed to episode, thank you both!

I cut corn off the cob that way by standing it up on a cutting board. It's easy to pick up on the broad side of the knife.
With the coke top rice thingy, just rubber band the coke top to the bag!
Love Mrs B she has a great laugh
The cackle is intensifying
I've lost count the amount of times I see something thinking "oh my god that is terrible" and then either Barry or Mrs B say "ooh I like that one" xD

Barry chose the hacks? Hide the toasters, get the fire extinguisher ready.
With the hotdogs, you're supposed to put the skewered bread and hotdogs onto a lightly greased griddle, heat until toasted/slightly browned, remove from pan then melt the cheese and roll the cooked hotdogs skewers in it.
Sprinkle the potato wedges lightly with powdered Ranch Dressing mix before baking.
Even IF there was no egshell left in the pan, the yolks and whites have still touched the OUTSIDE of the egg, which is the general problem with getting eggshell into your food.
Thank you, that was my problem with that "hack" too. Still any video from them is worth it.
And for the hotdogs and bread you should have used a hard cheese that turns crispy when pan fried, that may have been an improvement.
Use the first technique to make a bloomin onion.
Bloomin awesome idea
I'm most amazed by the jar of hotdogs
I really need to stop watching your videos at night, they always make me hungry 😩
6:07 BYYYAHH
You are such a great couple together!brilliant videos ❤❤
New song? very nice. 👍 (Im probably late to the party on that one though!) I thought the potato reminded me of an octopus. 🐙
I'm a real fan of Mrs B. :)
On the corn, if you cooked and just push the corn down through the funnel, it will shuck the entire cob at once. Put a bowl under the bunt pan.
Always amazed when i see you use hot dogs in a glass jar. No idea why they do that in the UK.
Rich Wood It makes sense if you don't want to consume all the hot dogs at once. You keep the rest in the brine in the closed jar ready for later consumption. When they come in those sealed plastic wrappers you have to go to the trouble of finding another receptacle to store the remainder.

I would toast those stick dogs in the pan for a bit, then do the cheese thing.
