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
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
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!)
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.
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 😃
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 🥰🥰
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
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.
Mrs B is cool! You are a good team, and Hannah and Chloe are great, it's nice to see you encouraging them to try food and help you. 👍🙂 I've really enjoyed what I've seen so far, not sure about these hacks though. A toaster is just for toast. I'm a toast freak. Thanks for making me laugh so much. Do you think you could do some meat alternatives meals? Not just the usual things, & not mimic beef burgers etc.. I mean try and find natural foods that can replace meat? Also how about taste testing shop cereal , bread, etc verses branded? Best wishes🤔🤭😏
@@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!
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
My husband does the same thing Mrs. B!! It annoys me! So I try to open things before him because I know he isn’t going to listen to the “open here” instructions. Lol. I haven’t watched your videos in a while, I’m going to be having a binge session 👍🏽
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
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
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 😂
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.
My dog Rosalie LOVES avocado. Like a lot! Brought a bowl of it mushed up with salt and peper home from my moms and she only had grocery bags so i put it in a grocery bag.. No not a good idea but.. So i get home set down the bag for a sec I think to take my coat off and I hear a dog licking... She ate my avocado.. Lol..
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.
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
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 learned that too a few years ago. I have no idea where from but maybe I was also watching some random show at 3am. 😄
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
Also, to use the big shell to scoop a shard out. Doesn't work perfectly, but much better than your hand.
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 😳
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?🤔😜
That makes complete sense lol
That would be too easy, and not dangerous enough for our Man of Steel, Barry Lewis. 😀😁😉
Touché 😏😆

“Wide Eyes and the Terror of the Inevitable Flame: The Trials and Tribulations of Mrs. B” It might win a Pulitzer.
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
"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?
I love when Mrs. B is in the videos ❤️💕she is the best and the girls 😊... love you too Barry but always like seeing them as well 🍾🥂😊

The banter between you and Mrs. Barry is so hilariously relatable, I love it so much.
That looked fun. Doing the potato flowers tonight, do we think my family will be impressed?! 🤣
How'd it go
@@jep9092 the kids absolutely loved it. Super quick and easy, tasted great too!
Barry sets fire 🔥 to the kitchen playlist 😱😂 careful please! Poor mrs Barry we love Barry’s hack videos! This channels ace!
I just love how he burns his finger, and Mrs B's face basically says "Wow, again?" 😃
Barry I've been rocking with you for 10 years. That egg hack was the worst🤣🤣🔥

Un eggspected pun
Yay, love a good Hack testing video...settle down with my pretzels and gonna enjoy some Barry n Mrs B... xx
6:05 - I gotcha Barry, I gotcha. BAYYAAAAYYYAAAAA
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 🥰🥰
It's ON FIRE BARRY!
Thank you Mrs. B.
The avacado hack is genius. I know you found it but thanks much for sharing. I use it now on all my avacados! ❤
This was a hacks video? Thought it was just you two f in about!! 😀😂
Loved it all the same!
Ooh Christmas dinner table addition, a few of those on the table and everybody just picks there roasts from the roast flower
The potato flowers are so simple yet so ingenious.
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
You can also use an apple corer to make an onion flower as well, similar to what you did with the potatoes.
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.
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.
I love how useful Barry is he's taught me a lot
I love this series! Its my favourite!
Can we please have Mrs Barry in every episode?
Hi Barry, very entertaining. Ouefs are eggs in French. Spanish for eggs is huevos.
Mrs B is so funny she makes my day with the things she comes out with Lol
I love Mrs. B's solution for the bag; "just get a clothes peg!"
thats how i close bags of chips biscuits all sorts
New song? very nice. 👍 (Im probably late to the party on that one though!) I thought the potato reminded me of an octopus. 🐙
Straight in for the Mr and Mrs B banter gold 👌🏻
Love watching you pair work together its always a laugh keep up the good work
Mrs B is cool!
You are a good team, and Hannah and Chloe are great, it's nice to see you encouraging them to try food and help you. 👍🙂
I've really enjoyed what I've seen so far, not sure about these hacks though.
A toaster is just for toast. I'm a toast freak.
Thanks for making me laugh so much.
Do you think you could do some meat alternatives meals? Not just the usual things, & not mimic beef burgers etc.. I mean try and find natural foods that can replace meat?
Also how about taste testing shop cereal , bread, etc verses branded?
Best wishes🤔🤭😏
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.
The avocado hack was brilliant. I’m going to use that all the time in future. Thanks for sharing.
I really need to stop watching your videos at night, they always make me hungry 😩
@14:34 her laugh was everything with her dad joke 😂🤣😂🤣
Hahaha love the way you skipped over with the potato flowers 🤣🤣
You know you're in for a good video when the little teaser a the start involves FIRE.
I feel ya Barry I open packaging the same way and it drives my family mad.
I think I just get excited lol
That was such good fun. You two are hilarious!
you guys are hilarious together. needed my Barcky (or Beckrry) fix!!! ^_^
Omg, I couldn’t stop laughing, Mrs B is hilarious, gotta love her.
Good to see you both again :) Hope you and the family are well! Also, loving the shirt Barry!
Cheers, it's got crabs on it, i'm a star sign cancer lol so that's my excuse
@@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!
Always good to see you Mrs Barry, and of course Barry! I enjoyed to episode, thank you both!
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
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.
I've always microwaved in the husk.
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!
@@scr347 same, but I cut off the end after microwaving.
In America preparing avocados and bagels represents the largest cause of ER visits due to food prep injuries. By far.
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.
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!
Gotta love Mrs.B
Wahaca restaurant call them corn ribs for the sweetcorn slices they charge a fortune. And the rice hack it's called a storage canister lol
you know you've watched too many barry lewis videos when you say "BAYAH" every time seal is mentioned
oh wow, I think I’ll genuinely start using my corer for that!
You are such a great couple together!brilliant videos ❤❤

Especially if it’s a paring knife or something, it’s so much easier and much less likely to result in a missing appendage
To be fair those avocados today were so ripe the stone would have fallen out
If you can’t hit the stone you don’t deserve the Avocado :)
I did have one where the stone got caught on the knife when I cut it in half.
Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. Just like an armadillo
That egg hack was CRACKING
great hacks Barry ill definitely be doing every one of these
With the coke top rice thingy, just rubber band the coke top to the bag!

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.

Ooooooo I see my name on the Patreon end thingy!! Yay!
"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* 😂
Loved this video! 😍😍
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
I've seen the hack where they just push the cob al the way through the bundt pan. i believe they have it set up over a hole in the table
Thank you. Every video I've seen they push the corn straight through. Needed to know ot wasn't just me lol
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 😂
I'm most amazed by the jar of hotdogs
Good to see Maldon salt Barry, I recently started using it and it is the best salt!
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.

Haha. Yep. One of my kids was a cook and did some major damage to his hand when pitting an avocado.
Just trying the potato trick now (my maris pipers are a little small, but good size for the air fryer)!
Actually not too bad for a quick snack!
I’d love to see Barry doing a video while being slightly merry! 😆

So i get home set down the bag for a sec I think to take my coat off and I hear a dog licking... She ate my avocado.. Lol..
Suggestion: try the potato flower with a cheddar cheese sauce dribbled over them and maybe some crumbled bacon.
That's filthy talk right there! I love it! 🤣
@@sporadicamnesic she was reported and her post was deleted.
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 stripped 3 dozen ears or corn to put up this way this summer. It's easier if your using fresh 🌽
Wow you can make an onion flower with the Apple corer
Love you guys, you make my day x
