The strap came off the kettle first not the lid.
I bet mrs. B got u with the water hose before u came back in 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
I absolutely LOVE your shirt! Its my favorite movie of all time. Where can i get 1?
I love your videos and channel 😍💞
0:37 As a disabled man myself I get quite emotional that you mention how some gadgets may help people with disabilities and I well up with joy thank you for explaining this and having that thought from an able bodied person as yourself its just wonderful.
Lol
Ian, I understand 1000% how you feel. I've been watching Barry for nearly a decade at this point because of his compassion and the love he has for what he does.
@@morkusmorkus6040 troll
I’m disabled too and much appreciate that. Thanks Barry.
I used to be an OT and often recommended kettle tippers to my patients. I've never seen one like the one you used, it looked dangerous. normally you would use the handle of the kettle to control the pour, which gives you more control and stops it tipping over. I dont like the handle on the tipper at all.
Agree, used to teach people how to use them. Often used a permanent marker on a nonslip mat next to the kettle tipper to mark the spot to place the cup.
I got both sets of my grandparents the Ucello kettle after seeing someone use it on Tiktok. It’s basically what Barry showed us here but as a complete kettle. It changed their lives completely as they all have arthritis in the hands, amazing.
@@Riinapopsz great idea. the properly designed ones are brilliant for older people who struggle to lift a heavy kettle
what is an OT???
I thought there is NO WAY I would have that kettle tipping contraption in my house, it looked flimsy and dangerous. I did think it would be better to use the kettle handle to tip it rather that that flimsy lever, at least then your not actually lifting the kettle but have more control over it.
I am actually glad that the kettle tipped over with cold water in your video. People interested in the kettle-tipper and watching your trial run can now make extra sure nobody gets hurt. ♥️
We considered a kettle cradle for me because I struggled to lift the kettle, I was just shaking soo much the water was going everywhere. I took to leaning the kettle over the side of the sink and pouring into a cup in the sink.. I finally told my husband I couldn't do it any more. And he bought a hot cup. You fill it with a jug or something. Even a cup would work. Then it pours out a measured cup of hot water for you. Kind of like a Nespresso machine but for hot water. My husband tops it up once a week(sometimes more) and all I need to do is press a button.
We love ours! We use it when only 1 person wants a cuppa. Saves you time as it’s boiled so quickly!
My Uncle has one since he suffered some heart problems that made him weak as a kitten, he can rotate the kitchen sink tap over the water compartment to fill it, then it's just the push of a button for a cup of hot water. MAGIC!
Could also just use a Keurig, they work pretty good. Have two one for coffee and then I have another for clean water for cup noodles or other things.
Loved this video as always! But I did want to mention, please don't use a microwave to poach an egg it's extremely dangerous, even if you pierce the yolk the egg can explode and there have been many cases of people being severely burned from doing it. Ann Reardon has a video explaining the dangers, I had no idea myself until I saw it. It might not happen every time but the one time it does could be deadly so I think it is much safer to just cook them in a pot.
Sorry for the rant, I just try to spread awareness about the potential danger of this hack where I can. Have a good day!
I loved Ann’s video about it. Love to see Barry react to it
I was going to post the same.
I did notice he opened the door in such a way any steam or hot fluids wouldn’t hit him, but a comment about it would be appreciated.
personally been burnt by a microwaved egg as a child- miserable
@@Cola82 it’s not just the steam, they can explode.
The bottle opener was user error, I’m disabled and I’ve used several brands of multi bottle openers and I’ve done this many times before. When you look at the picture on the handle you will see that you just needed to flip it the other direction. Thanks for interesting videos!
Yeah, you can tell that the part with the little cutout should go on the top, not bottom.
My least favourite gadget was the kettle tipper , very dangerous 😮Thanks Barry 🤗
I’ve had the 5 in 1 opener gadget for about 5/6 years. It’s great and I use it often. The drinks can opener does work if you don’t slide it all the on and lift up slowly. I found using the slot to help start the ring pull on cans before using the hook end helps too.
I've had that "multi opener" for around 10 years. I used the drink can opener by far the most, you don't slot it all the way on and it worked awesome when I was a little kid
It is literally to get it started. barry seems to not get some of these sometimes.
You tilt it down, not up. I was cringing the whole time! 🤦♀️
Folks... there are MUCH easier ways to pour hot water, this kettle tipper looks so dangerous! Now if your partially blind like myself or simply struggle to grasp and lift there are kettles with dispencer spouts. You dont tip it at all just set your cup underneath and push a button. These are very popular in Japan, I have owned a zojirushi brand one for years and I very much reccomend!
Your attempts to create a Cola fountain are amusing, and I haven't had a good laugh for quite a while. Thanks, mate!
If the 5-in-1 would extend the top edge of the tab opener forward, it would work. When we open a tab, the tip of our thumb is pressing down past the fulcrum of the tab lever. So they just need to mimic that.
It does, he had it upside down. If you look closely there are little cutouts so that it gets right on the fulcrum of the tab.
@@Hidyman ah that would explain it!
My guess:
Short strap is for the mounting spot under the handle to hold it down and keep it from tipping over.
Love the videos, keep'em coming
Exactly, it's not the first time Barry couldn't figure out how to better use a gadget....
Yea I figured one strap will pass through the handle to hold it down.
The suspenseful music as you got covered in Coke in your back yard was hilarious 😂
Just as an fyi, OXO has a limited life time warranty. Recently i had a salad spinner where the plunger stopped working. Even though it was 10 years old, they sent me a brand new one. Love your gadget videos. All your videos, really.
Amy Marple I had no idea that OXO madexkitchen gadgets as well as stock cubes and gravy. You learn something new everyday.
moved to Norway and its so good to watch your videos from here. can't thank you, and your wife enough for the great entertainment.
That was hilarious and also quite worrying. Id be too scared to use the kettle tipper! which is a shame as it would be quite handy for me!! Would love to see you do more mobility aids for the kitchen! Nice kettle BTW I have the same one. My life is complete now i have found my kettle twin!!!!
Please look into the Ucello kettle if you require an aid such as this one. It changed my grandparents lives x
I have that 5 In 1 device. Got it a few years back. I have read on mine that the one you have trouble with is NOT to open pop cans with, but just to raise the tab easily for opening it up normally aftewards.
Honestly just been and purchased the 5in 1, its going to help my mum so much! Thank you for the laughs as always🙃
Oh cool, glad it can help, there's lots of similar products like that around but it was impressive
@@mrbarrylewis keep them coming! Your videos bring so many smiles, and the fact that its all about family and getting in the kitchen just makes them so much better
Another cracking opening clip Barry 😁😁😁 Accurate depiction of how my life is going right just now 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes - I’ve got some Reefs with a bottle opener. I’ve used it a few times. You get some really funny looks. I usually tell people it’s a regular flip-flop and I know a secret trick.
Mrs B asking what it's supposed to do right before it goes off was perfect timing.
The cup cover is really useful to prevent spiking.
Drinks can still be spiked through a straw
My second favourite series! I love these and cheap vs steep!!
Thanks a bunch
We just put plates on top of bowls in the microwave. But using the micromate as a tray already in the microwave is really useful
a tea towel cost less and does the same job, you only need one, place over the top, and use it as a heat shield to remove the bowl or plate of food
Looks like you use the 5 and 1 opener wrong. There is a small indentation on the top for the can rivet to fit into allowing you to get closer to the hole to be able to leverage it better.
Yup, it needed to be pushed further onto the tab. His attempts concentrated the force in the wrong spot, making the tab bend. A bit more focus and I image a user would be able to feel when the gadget is properly aligned and opening as it should.
I have never clicked so fast, I look forward to these videos as my brother in law has weakness on his right side, so I have suggested a few of these gadgets for him.
Most microwaves here come with a flat bowl like lid (no idea how to describe it better, especially in English) that you can put over almost every bowl or plate to avoid getting the microwave dirty.
That sounds bloomin awesome! Unless i'm wrong (which is often the case!) microwaves here mostly come with just the glass base it spins on
@@mrbarrylewis it definitely is. But I am not sure if it really is the case for all of them, or just some (living in Germany). It is nice to not have to buy something fitting. But at least there are some good options.
@@Lady_Red-Herb That must be a German thing because in the UK even high end microwaves don't come with clever accessories.
@@ticketyboo2456 Hmmm, yeah, maybe. I hope they change that one day. Every microwave should have stuff like that
@@mrbarrylewis you can get them here from Ikea/wilkos/asda etc for £1 or 2, you just have to search for microwave lids, but it would have definitely been nice if our microwaves came supplied with them!
the red button looking gadget that was said to cut cling film I believe is actually better specifically for Ontario, Canada, where we have bagged milk, that would be perfect for cutting the bag!
I use soup bowls, dinner and bnb plates in combinations for splatter. In the dish washer regular slots.
I had a mentos-coke nozzle that had a magnetic thing inside and a string on the outside so you could screw it on completely and nothing would go in, and then you'd pull the string and it'd drop the mentos in.
i was just thinking what a dumb design, ive still got one from years back that just had a hole and a pin on a string that would hold the mentos until you pulled the string and it would drop them in, sure it had a lil bit of cola shooting out of the hole for the pin but still you didnt get any coke on you lol
Loved the video and gadgets, but seeing as Jaws is my all time favorite movie I couldn't pass by the t-shirt, love it
Got round to watch this video.. Made me laugh how you caught Mrs B - naughty of you.. But her face! hahaha brilliant, love her
As a visually impaired person that kettle tipped is an accident waiting to happen. Would not recommend for people with eight problems!
I think the can opener is best for people with no fingernails… just helps to lift the tab up a bit and then the rest you do yourself!
Yes, more gadgets! Love it!
74 episodes in and you're still finding new ones!
The seconde gadget is from a Danish shop called Flying Tiger.
We have them in France, Belgium and they're probably in the UK as well.
They are! We have one at Lakeside shopping centre in Thurrock
My uncle has a much better kettle tipping alternative, it draws up and boils just a cup-full of water then you place the cup below the spout and it comes out like a coffee machine. If you have a bigger cup you just press the button again and it spirts another cup-full out, it really is quick because it boils so little water.
I’ve got a very similar Wish version of the 5 in 1, and I find the can ringpull slot is good for lifting the ring enough to get the lever bit in. It slides on better upside down. Never used it for a drink ringpull, but maybe that one would work better upside down too.
Isn’t the “cup” cover intended for a can? That’s what they show on the packaging.
As a disabled person, I preferred when you said "some of these can be helpful to disabled people" rather than "people with disadvantages." Firstly because disabled isn't a bad word, and secondly because I think being clear helps others to understand what you mean when you say what you say. Just my two cents ☺️
I understand where you are coming from, however other people have told me the opposite. I'll keep working on this, i'm not perfect and apologies if it causes offence
@@mrbarrylewis no offense taken! At least you're not saying "differently abled" or anything like that lol euphemisms for the disabled make me wanna 🤮
As another disabled/chronically ill person, I have to agree. I don't know any other disabled people/spoonies who would prefer 'disadvantages'. It sounds pitying, I know it's not meant that way. 🙂
Agreed! It‘s not like, a huge issue but as a disabled person I vastly prefer "disabled" over any of the euphemisms that were mostly created because disabled is concidered a bad word largely by non-disabled people. But, I don‘t blame Berry for just going along w something other presumably disabled people told him - that‘s generally best to do :)
Also disabled and also prefer the term "disabled".
I wonder if the people who didn't like it are people who are not actually disabled but still need assistance for other reasons? That I can understand!
i work as a carer and a number of my clients have had kettle tippers, which i have found work really well but the ones i have used you normally use the kettle handle to actually tip the kettle. You can also get a kettle that is built with a tipping base.
Hahahaha you look like every normal non social media person doing that cola/ mentos thing! I love it. Thanks for the entertaining ending by taking the hit for Team Barry, I couldn’t stop laughing!
i love this playlist, when i move to my own place it's gonna be filled with kitchen gadgets
Love the shirt!😄
i have something very similar to that opener, except mine opens like pliers so you can fit that bottle cap opener over larger jar lids. i really like it
'Embraced the fluids'. 🤣🤣Barry your a legend!
Love the mentos and coke feel so mean but couldn’t stop laughing at your attempt 🤣 love your videos!
The kettle pourer seems risky. It looked like the kettle was about the slide off when tipped and go crashing onto the floor.
It would be better to just get a dedicated hot water dispenser for something like that, since you not only don't need to fiddle about with the kettle to refill it, but there's usually just a simple button instead of a lever.
We bought the Aqua Optima water dispenser recently as I have a very weak wrist thanks to an accident some years ago and we live in a very hard water area so the dispenser has a filter. We were going through kettles at a rate of one approximately every 2 years as they started leaking from the base. Didn't matter what brand it was either. The water dispenser is so easy to use - just select how hot you want your water (and if you select "boil" it really does boil the water). I like my coffee cooler and find that 80C works great. Then you select how much you want - for my cup 200ml, press the button and off it goes. You can also press the button again to stop the water flow. I also like that it really chills the water as well so really nice to have chilled water on tap during this hot weather. There is no waiting with this one like there is with others. Works instantaneously. Yes, it was pricey but worth every penny.
@@Pythonaria sounds amazing for those of us with disabilities and difficulties in the kitchen! It's so unfortunate, though, that so many things that are helpful to the disabled are so freaking expensive 😕
@@acaciakapusta8921 It was expensive at just under £200 but a half decent kettle now will set you back anywhere between £40 upwards and we've gone through probably 3 in the past 5 years due to limescale build up. Even a week after descaling a kettle it is full of limescale again. With the Aqua Optima it has a filter and it will tell you when to descale it (eventually). The instructions are to use a vinegar solution so no need to buy expensive descalers. It's also nice to have a cup of tea or coffee without bits of limescale in it.
Barry you made a splash with this one.
Might watch the movie now lol (Splash that is lol)
LOVE your t-shirt Barry! It's JAWs dropping 😉
For the first time I actually own a gadget featured in one of these videos. The can/bottle opener is great. I did have one instance where I got a little too aggressive though and ripped the pull tab off the can.
Thank you for showing and testing helpful gadgets. I've had the micro mate thing for years but only ever thought to use it as a splatter guard so will definitely be putting it to more use now. I'm currently looking for a gadget that can open a can of drink, so knowing the one you showed doesn't work for that is super helpful. I've also only recently become aware of tipping kettles, as it's something that could really help me. I would love to see a video comparing gadgets that do the same thing (such as kettle pouring) with different ways and prices. Would be awesome if you could get an OT to collaborate with to explain what methods are best for what issues (ie which issue a tipping kettle works better for, or one that releases water via a button push, etc).
i have a water cooler that gets the water pretty close to boiling that works great for things like tea, hot cocoa, etc. might be a bit of an expensive solution but i think it's pretty worth it
The first time in a very long time that the opening clip made me audibly gasp LMAO
Mooom! Barry the House Wrecker is at it again! :D :D
That cling film cutting gadget annoyed the heck out of me in your previous video, so I really hope Mrs B wins 🤣
Ups, I should have watched 15 seconds more of the video before commenting 😜
Hey Barry... For the diet coke and mentos one... There is a gadget called "geyser tube"... Me brother and I used it and the stream must have went 12m high! It was so fun!
the handle part of te 5 in one is only meant to give that first open then you flip it round to use the other side. i have a similar toll and is great for my failing hands
I got a Wrapmaster the day after you posted yours. I LOVE IT TO BITS!
I'm disabled and have a hot water kettle that is stationary and uses Brita filters, I only have to put my mug underneath and press the button. Once it boils, the hot water is dispensed straight into the mug. It's been fabulous for me
15:15 They can't sell that... Surely not
The drink can opener bit from the 5 way opener seems to only help you in gripping the ring pull, so you still have to be careful to not break it like usual. I swear they keep making these ring pulls flimsier and flimsier by the day.
Would be very useful if you have trouble grabbing the relatively small ring pull.
Hello from Malaysia! Love all your videos! Keep up the good work! 😍
Thanks :)
You shouldn't put eggs in the microwave. Ann Reardon of (How To Cook That) RUclips Channel did a video on the dangers of putting eggs in the microwave (Debunking Exploding Egg Hacks & Blowtorching Chocolate | Ann Reardon). She did experiments on hard boiled eggs, poaching eggs & eggs in & out of the shells in the microwave and how they explode.
The cup/drinks can cover with straw is from Flying Tiger (the logo is in the bottom corner of the packaging. So now u know, if u see that logo, its from flying tiger)
The 5 in one opener jar opener portion needed lots of force since you pulled the entire lid off of the threads. It's designed to just break the vaccum seal then you can unscrew the lid easily.
The can opener especially the ring pool for soft drinks don't put it all the way in I grew up in bars similar things are are everywhere it the leverage is to close to the bottom of the tab.
I would absolutely not use the universal kettle tipper.
As you accidentally showed, the kettle can fall out of the holder. That is flat out unforgivable.
For sure, it needs a clip over the top without a doubt. Also my kettle is made of glass, only just thinking about it, that could have been much worse!
Plus it wasn't immediately apparent why it failed, which makes it difficult to avoid making the same mistakes. I wouldn't have trusted this thing with my grandmother, that's for sure!
@@mrbarrylewis Doesn't that make your kettle kinda heavy? Good thing yall are still strong :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣the best Gadget is the last thanks for so much laugh, i cant stop. I love your Testvideo´s so much thanks.
Note, i think the reason the soda can opening part didn't work, is because there was no counter leverage pressing down on the part that's supposed to break. When you do it yourself, you put extra weight towards the direction you wish to open by placing either your palm on the opening side of the can, or by pushing down with your thumb on the break spot. That tool put all the leverage on the soda pull tab only, and pivoted at a bad spot. They should have given it a bit that extends past the tab and pushes on the tear strip itself while you pivot.
Omg you are amazing and that face when the water when all over the place was priceless 🤣😂
I have super sensitive skin; especially to heat. Absolutely need a micro mate!
The fact that every time you pulled on the diet coke bottle it sprayed out more foam in spurts. Family friendly channel, but wow, the mind wanders XD
Lol Barry so many messy bloopers 🤣🤣 when it came to soda pop opener did you try both ways? I couldn't tell
I tried to, but think the can variety wasn't great.
Star Wars pun much appreciated 😁😁😁
I have the 5-in-1 gadget. When opening cans with tabs it's supposed to be used to pull up the tab but not open it all the way.
I know alot of people with disbilities that use the breville hot cup or the one cup because its easier than using the tipper for the kettle. They are so easy to use and I just use a jug to fill it up.
In the last few years the caps to bottle, at least 2L ones have gotten shorter, maybe even by 1/3 to 1/2 shorter so i wonder if there not being as many threads for that mento's thing is the issue?
Maybe the short strap goes around the handle? I see another clip opening at the back, so attach the short strap, through the handle and back down to the base?
Still doesn't fix the lid issues, though
This just feels like a burn accident waiting to happen though.
Thanks for the vid! Cheers
That intro had me 💀. Tnx Barry. I can always rely on u for a good laugh
0:04 R2D2 having accidents in his old age....
Reef also done a pair of flip-flops with a flask in them 😆
I think the can opener part of the 5-in-1 is more to lift the lip a bit so you can grab it easier with your fingers (and don't have to get under it with your nails)
I saw you doing a mess with the water, this is the story of my life with Muscular Dystrophy lol IM ALWAYS DOING A MESS
Barry - The Marathon Maker
Barry - The Fresh Maker
(Mentos, The fresh maker.)
Would the coke and mentos fountain thing work better if you screwed the black part onto the bottle first and then just push the clear piece with the mentos on and run?
Barry: touching soup- "AHHH!"
Also Barry: touches soup again
I'm betting that third strap was meant to for the top . Connect the short one on top to the ones around the base. A bit over kill but what ever probably would help some one with motor skill or desstarity issues
Oh thank goodness - the orange blob mystery is solved! It was so bizarre to see in the 4321 video LMAO
That kettle tipper is so dangerous, I can't believe they sell them like that. a majority of kettles would end up being top heavy on that thing, and very likely to tip out of the cradle. Big red flag, avoid!
I agree and that thing could be a death trap if a very young child ended up getting scalded because of it. A definite no-no.
"We have certainly embraced the fluids." Man, it's like I'm watching Digitiser.
Omg 🤣🤣🤣 that coke fountain one 🤣🤣🤣
For the cling film cutter, why don't you turn it upside down? Wouldn't it be easier to pull down instead of pushing up?
Other people: Hide the brand, don't give free exposure!
Barry: Okay, but what if, instead...*gives even MORE brands free exposure*
Can you put one of the straps over the top of the handle of the kettle to hold it down more???
Instead of the splatterguard, my solution is a plate and oven gloves. It means less extra stuff in the kitchen. I guess the splatterguard could help people with dexterity issues?
Lol, the clip at the end - Mrs B “I don’t understand what the point is…”
Science, Mrs B, science!!! Well that, and non-lethal explosions are fun! 🤪 🌋
Are the Reef flip flops the promo ones that the alcopop reef did in the late 90s early 2000s?
That was a fun video. I would be afraid of the kettle tipper, I think it the arms were permanently built into a "safe" kettle, that would be different and more safe.
