My Virgin Kitchen is a RUclips cooking channel created when I wanted to teach myself how to cook and create a video diary of the journey / mrbarrylewis . I have never had a professional lesson & am just your every day chap attempting recipes to inspire you guys to try too. My Wife Becky (aka Mrs Barry) now joins in on the channel too, we upload 2 recipe videos per week, but some fun is had too on Sunday when it is our Funday where anything goes....including giant foods, mini foods, taste testing foods sent from around the World, kitchen gadget testing and many more. Any requests for recipes / cool stuff you've seen let us know! I try my best to reply to as many comments as possible, but it is hard to as we are busy working on the next video, but please interact with eachother and be respectful :-) #barrylewis #kitchengadget #gadgets
Love how much more confident Mrs Barry has become on camera!
"Gotta give it a good blow mrs barry" he immediately turns away and turns red haha y'all are so cute 😂
He does blush very nicely sometimes. 💖
I love how happy you are together, relationship goals right there😭
I think those cookies would go really well to make an ice cream sandwich👍😋
That's a fine idea!
Have a good day everyone
Luke Roberts and you
Barry, I believe the rotten eggs float to the top because egg shells have small holes and over time as the air goes into the egg makes it go rotten and fills the egg with air creating the floating effect. That was courtesy of my GCSE food teacher.
WatchmanGamer the egg shrinks as it gets older, so the air cavity gets bigger because the egg is porous so the air gets inside. It's not first when it's rotten. A hot ally fresh egg lies horizontal, when it starts to get a bit older but still fully edible it stands up, when I starts to gloat upward it's bad and when it's gloating at the top it's totally rotten
WatchmanGamer also decomposition forming CO2 and methane
Almost right guys. The reason an old egg floats is due to the fact at the top of the egg there is an air pocket between the shell and the inner shell membrane. This air pocket is tiny on a fresh egg so does not effect buoyancy when placed in water.
As the egg gets older more air accumulates in the air pocket due to the porous nature of the egg shell which in turn causes the egg to eventually float. This process takes approximately 4 weeks from first lay.
This is not an indicator of a rotten egg but just and indicator of the egg being old. Experiments done within the egg industry (of which I used to work as a egg packer and grader) have proved age of eggs alone is not enough to turn an egg bad or rotten. They only way for an egg to go rancid is to store them upside down (pointed end up) so the air molecules that accumulate in the air pocket eventually burst the air pocket in the membrane due to building pressure and causing the air to actually be in contact with the albumen and yolk which causes the egg to go bad/rancid.
Dates on eggs are nothing more than a guide and as long as they are stored correct way up and in a dark, cool, dry place (no fridges) eggs can be usable long after the 4 week use by date printed on the shell.
Any old egg though are best used for baking as the white can be too watery for anything else after 4 weeks.
We can go into the way the albumen breaks down on a week by week stage and the movement of the yolk within the albumen during that time if you would like but that's a lesson for another day 😂😂👍👍👍
Joff 👍👍👊👊
youre exactly right :)
All true.
Un-washed eggs stored correctly can be edible for up to a year.
Also, fresh eggs are harder to peal than eggs that are a couple of weeks old.
I always got taught to poke your thumb through the center of the orange and it opens up a big hole and you peel the rest from there! No knives or sharps needed!
Iona Podmore Yeah using tools seems to slow down the peeling very much + you need to get them. Much easier to use that technique.
Tupperware orange peeler.
I just pinch the peel with my teeth and peel from there 😂
Iona InWonderland lol , i take my thumbnail in and twist , it makes pokadots in the orange peel
I use that cake mix/cookie hack all the time with the red velvet cake mix and they taste so delicious!
also been wanting to mention that if the recipe says to spoon the dough or roll into balls before baking, there's no need to flatten them at all..they do it while baking. some recipes, like peanut butter cookies call for flattening with a fork, but otherwise it's just a wasted effort. :)
I boil my water first then put my eggs in to hard boil. The hot water makes the inside of the egg come away from them shell, kinda shock-cooking it! Works a charm for me 👌🏻
the oil/honey hack works great with measuring cups! any sticky liquid molasses, corn syrup, honey etc. spray the cup with oil then measure out the liquid, it comes out so much easier!
The reason the rotten egg floats is that there is gas buildup inside. Through natural decomposition, parts break down through decay and go through a chemical reaction that makes Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), the sulfur giving it that pungent smell we know so well. It is also why parts of sewage smells like rotten eggs and gas vents in the earth in some places with geysers (seen that first hand in iceland, smelled a bit off as you can imagine).
But yeah, long story short, The rotten egg floats because its full of smelly gas.
Too funny on the egg situation😂… Good to know you both got skill😱🤣
*POP* WooooooooooW i think i inhaled some egg shell!!
david rhys ghj
Such a lovely couple to watch, always peaks me up watching how great you are together =]
thankyou

I agree
The egg blowing had me giggling so much. Thanks for the laugh guys. You made my day happier.
I've made those cake mix cookies - you can also layer the powder in a jar with m&ms and use it as a gift
I love how much fun the two of you have.
I use the honey hack all the time :) it works well for Molasses, peanut butter or any sticky liquid. You can spray measuring cups as well
Oh my goodness. I was laughing so hard at the orange squirt and egg blowing.
You should do magic 3,2,1 cake. you take a box of your favorite cake mix and mix it with a box of angel food mix. Then you take 3 tbsps of the mix in a mug mixed with 2 tbsps of water and microwave for 1 minute. I usually dust mine with powdered sugar when it comes out. Kids love it.
you two have so much fun together. I love it.
For hard-boiled egg peeling I do this: I drain the hot water and put cool water on the eggs on the pot, then I kinda shake the pot with the eggs and a bit of water in it. Make sure the water is cool so you don't get burnt. the eggs will crack a bit and then you can slide your finger under the shell and the sheath beneath it, so between the egg white and the shell. then you can peel off most if not all of it on one piece. it always works for me, I find that it helps to run a bit of cold water over it while you are peeling to avoid burns. Hope you use this hack!!!
The egg with the bicarbonate soda does actually work, I dunno what the difference was but I put and mixed the bicarbonate soda into the water and added the usual salt to the water and then put the eggs in before turning the heat on. So the the eggs gradually were brought up to the right heat and then after they were done my mom and I took them out and put them in cold water with a bunch of ice in it. One of the eggs did explode while cooking and the bicarbonate soda actually changed the texture of the egg boiling in the water to almost a rubber texture but it didn't affect the taste of the exploded one. The ones that hadn't exploded we just rolled them on the counter to crack the shell and it peeled off soooo easy it just came of in giant chunks one of the eggs only came off in two pieces. It was great
My husband loves the cake mix cookies! My favorite are lemon cake mix and dusted with powdered sugar or vanilla mix with chocolate chips!! I love your videos!!
The bad egg test is great if you have your own chickens, those eggs have no date stamp, unless you bought extra special M&S chickens as they have stampers up their butt ;) there is another stage to that "hack" however: if the egg sinks and lays horizontally, it's fresh. If the egg goes vertically and floats a little, it's still good but not as fresh. Different methods of cooking work better with really fresh eggs, while others work better with slightly older eggs. (Btw older eggs are easier to peel). A really fresh egg has a thicker egg white, the slightly older egg the white will be more watery. BUT if that egg floats to the top or floats horizontally it's bad (egg shells are porous and older eggs absorb more air so they float). FYI NEVER crack a bad egg in the house, and definitely don't do what my dopey brother did. He didn't check the egg, he the didn't crack it into a bowl, the cracked it directly into a hot frying pan. Result being the entire family out on the garden puking. Mum had to wash all the curtains in the house, open all doors and windows, "do the shake n vac" a whole host of destink "hacks" (btw have you done a destiny hack? Best way to remove strong odours from the house: garlic, onions, fish etc) Our entire house was whiffy for about 3 days, the smell in the kitchen stayed nearly a week and mum binned the frying pan! Btw my knowledge of eggs comes from having a grandpa with a smallholding and I grew up with loads of animals including what seemed to be a million chucks.
Jo HexxKitten thank you so much for this. Drives me nuts when people don't have the correct egg information.
"You've got to really give it a good blow, Mrs. Barry."
:D
I love you two that was so funny I tears in my eyes
You can use the spray on the spoon for molasses also. Actually you can use that hack for any sticky ingredient you use.
My mum taught me to do the water hack with eggs for years! It always worked for me and i always get amazed by how cool that hack is!
Why the old eggs float: Eggs have a little air sack in them, when they're fresh the air sack is small, but as the egg decays, it gives off gases which fill the air sack making the eggs more buoyant.
Why bi-carb might help peeling: Bi-carb is very salty, if the water has a higher salt content than the egg...osmosis occurs which forces as much water out of the egg as it can, less water in the egg means less mass and volume...which would shrink the cooked egg away from the shell. If that is the reason, I expect table salt would work better.
I am a Cub Scout den leader and I just showed my scouts the rotten egg "hack" last week! Others have already said but it's because the shell is porous and the older an egg is the more air it has absorbed through its shell which causes it to float.
In America or eggs are not individually stamped with a date. So I have used this hack before when the date printed on the carton was smudged or hard to read and I couldn't remember when I bought the eggs. :)
The sprinkle cake mix makes really fun cookies for the kids, especially at school.
When Miss Barry squirted into Barry's eye 😂😂😂.
Use a yellow cake mix and roll 1" balls in cinnamon sugar, slightly flatten the top of the ball when placing on a baking sheet, bake and you've got great Snickerdoodles cookies! This is a great cheap alternative when butter prices get to high for you're budget😁😋😘
Love the two of you!! Soooo funny!! Thanks for the laughs!!
To butter your ear of corn, try buttering a slice of bread then hold it in your hand and place cob on slice and spin. The butter will distribute and you get buttered corn and bread at the same time!
i work in at a diner in the u.s
we use milk in our eggs to make them peel easier. try that one
I love you guys! Your show is entertaining, fun and informative. I find the best way to peel eggs is to tap them on the counter a couple of times and then remove the shell under cool running water.
The egg floats because it has extra air around the egg and the shell. If it sinks then it is good. If it floats in the center of a cup, you can use it but it is going bad. If it sinks to the very top it means "DO NOT EAT". I did a video on my channel too :)
I love blue corn! Instead of drying it for popcorn, I boil the fresh cob and eat it like normal yellow corn. One blue corn keeps me full all day
Mrs Barry looks like Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor.
I always use the cooking spray for measuring peanut butter. It slips right out of the measuring cup or spoon without any trouble. Also, I use salt, not baking soda, for eggs. It works wonders, but it will leave a film on your pot if you put in too much.
I think the "cakeys" would be great if you wanted to make ice cream sandwiches.
i want someone who looks at me the way mrs barry looks at barry
Hey Barry, for the orange, you can try going from top to bottom following the natural lines of the orange instead of all around the middle. You can also divide the orange in segments with multiple strokes around the orange.
I always use cake mix to make cookies! I use yellow cake mix and just add chocolate chips or m&ms. They are the best!!!
You make me smile. Hello from Peoria AZ in the USA.
The baking soda trick works best in conjunction with piercing the large end of the eggs with a thumb tack first. I've been doing it this way for years and they peel so much easier.
score around the center of the orange, then score it from butt to stem. this makes it easy to peel without digging into the orange. I use this all the time.
My dad is a baker and he said that he dips a spoon in flour to get syrup to slip off, I've never tried it though
I've used cake mix and brownie mix in my waffle iron. So yum!
I've been doing those cookies for the last couple of years and I love them so much. especially with chocolate chips
You two have the most lovely accents !!! I just love to hear you talk !!
I use cooking spray on measuring cups/spoons whenever I use molasses for ginger cookies. Works pretty well
13:10 I'm screaming at the monitor "Your eggs are done!"
the cake box cookies are amazing. you can take the dough and ad in a extract flavor also. then roll in powdered sugar to make it look crinkled after they are done baking.
In the USA we roll the cake batter cookies in powdered (icing) sugar before we bake them. They are called crinkle cookies. You can also skip the egg and oil and just use CoolWhip in place of it. 8oz CoolWhip and one box cake mix.
I have an EGG HACK: For any egg that is difficult to peel. Crack the egg all over, then peel off the bottom end of the egg. And take your spoon and slide it under the skin, then you can turn the spoon under the whole skin and peel it quickly. Make sure the dome of the spoon is up. (It follows the shape of the egg. It works like a charm!
oh my gosh you guys made me laugh so hard my son came down said mom its schoolnight I need to sleep 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love watching the 2 of you!!❤❤
You two are adorable! I love watching your videos.
hi Barry love the kitchen hack with Mrs Barry in it, you two are so funny and work so good together. 😄😄😄😄
Oh my gosh, im in stitches! love mr and mrs barry 😊
Barry if you want easy to peel eggs this works for me.
Bring your water with eggs in to a boil
Let boil for 1-2 minutes
Cover and remove from burner
Let sit for approximately 17 minutes for large eggs or 14 minutes for medium eggs
Put them into cold water just long enough to be able to handle them.
Peel as usual
I am able to peel a dozen eggs in about 5 minutes using this method.
Hi Barry for the big orange hack Cut it in half both ways and peel it from the top My dad does it and it works a charm
for the orange hack, if you cut off the top and bottom, then cut long ways from top to bottom you can then open it up and pull out the pieces. It can get a little messy but I've had the best luck with opening them that way. Love you show!! :)
I know I've said it before, you two are so cute in these together. Make more!!!!
you guys are just awesome....LOL
the egg bit was ingenious!!
Best way to quickly peel a hard boiled egg is to put it in a canning jar with a little bit of water. Screw on the lid and give it a shake! The shell will crack without seriously damaging the egg. We keep a jar by the sink for this purpose around Easter- the only time of the year we have a lot of hard boiled eggs.
I love these and the gadget videos
i thought every one knew about eggs in water thing? thats how my family have checked eggs forever.
FYI i think it floats due to the air sack inside the egg filling with gasses from the decaying yolk. (on ships they rotate eggs regularly to help keep eggs from going off)
One hack that actually works pretty well for peeling eggs is to cook them until the water boils, then once the water boils, let it got for 1-2 minutes, and then turn of the heat and cover them for 12 minutes. In the mean time, make an ice bath in a large bowl, about half ice half water, and then pour in some salt. Then when the eggs are done, move directly from the hot water to the ice bath and stir it around for 2-3 minutes. Do not let them cool to room temp, go directly from hot to cold. The drastic change in temperature shrinks the egg inside causing it to pull away from the shell, so when you peel it, it has already separated from the shell. It also cools the egg down. Works every time for me.
I make the cake mix cookies all the time! You can do all sorts of flavors and add stuff in. So far our favorite is pineapple cake mix with shredded coconut and white chocolate chips.
The way the egg made that pop noise afterwards is funny as hell, LOL.
For the easy use of honey heat up the spoon. Doesn't matter if you heat it over the hob, stick it in boiling water or just run the hot tap over it. Works for anything that gets runny when heated, so honey, chocolate spread, ice cream etc.
As for the floaty egg trick, as the egg spoils it produces gasses which get mostly trapped inside the shell (mostly because it's not a hermetic seal). The bad egg will start off with just the wide end pointing up and go to fully floating depending on how rotten it is. This trick may not work for your back yard eggs because you can't tell if the shell is intact. Mass produced eggs go through several quality checks including a shell check, all eggs with cracks or uneven shells are eliminated and used for something else. Naturally eggs are not perfect, irregularities and minor defects are quite common but you can't always see them with bare eyes. Those imperfections may mean that the gasses escape through the shell and the floaty egg trick will be rendered ineffective.
@ 9:19 Runny honey? Never hear of it here in 'merica... LOL!
Love you two! I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Thank you! You brightened my week.
Best episode ever! Thanks for the laughs.
For peeling oranges, score from top to bottom ( I use the tip of a small paring knife) four times around the orange. I use my finger nail to lift an edge of the section and then pull down. The orange will be whole with minimal loss of juice. I think you can still purchase a tool to score an orange. The tool used to be a door prize from a well known home party company that sold plastic containers.
This was hysterical! Thank you for sharing.
I am crying ... Mrs B was so funny lowing that’s egg out of the shell ... lolololol 🤣😂🤣
Try rolling the cake / cookie dough in confectioners sugar then baking. (don't flatten them). They come out with a cracked appearance. If you use white cake mix and add colouring to it, there will be a nice contrast.
Mrs Barry trying to open the orange and then accidentally shooting orange juice straight into Barry’s eye has go to one of the funniest MVK moment 😂
that egg blowing part was insanely funny! the egg went "HHHHHHHHHHHH*pop*"
''give it a good blow mrs barry!'' im dying XD hahahah
Please don't let fame(because you will be quite famous), change you two! I love how you interact with each other!!!!!!😘
the egg hack works because as the egg gets older more air space is in it therefore it floats if it is rotten
sarah mores yep, the gasses (ammonia and sulphur) from the decomposing egg fill the gap.
sarah mores you don't f*cking say
Fresh AF Raticate Not everyone knows so i was simply informing people who didn't know. Sorry if that bothers you.
Fresh AF Raticate Barry asked why it happened. Sarah was telling him.
I see you have 'issues' with anger management Fresh! Sarah was being helpful, something you certainly aren't!
I add white vinegar to the water for hard boiling eggs...then let them chill under cold running water for 30 minutes...peel like a dream!!!
On the easy peeling of eggs: The older the egg, the easier it is to peel. As WatchmanGamer explained, as the egg gets older, more air gets between the shell and the egg, making it easier to peel. I've also heard that lemon juice can be used to make eggs easier to peel. Personally, I just find that eggs that are 1 week or so old peel easier than really fresh ones.
purple corn is the traditional corn from south america and it used for traditonal tortias.
red velvet cake cookies with white chocolate chunks are sooo good btw
I've found the easiest way to boil eggs is to, of course, put the egg in when you turn it on but then turn it off and cover it once it starts to boil. You let it sit and cook for 10 minutes for a hard boiled egg and then immediately take them out of the hot water and put them into ice water! This is how I've done it for forever and I never have trouble peeling them plus it cools them enough so you can eat them immediately! You can let them sit for shorter for soft boiled eggs and larger eggs may take longer to fully cook through of course.
I am so glad you got Mrs.Barry to be part of the show! She is such a meme!
I've watched the egg blowing bit so many times. It's the best ever! :-)
I recently found a hard boiled egg hack that works amazingly well. Put the eggs into a muffin tin, 1 egg per section. Bake in the oven at 325 degrees for 30 mins then 10 mins in an ice bath. They peel wonderfully!
for easy peel eggs, boil them in very well salted water or use white vinegar in the water...when done, crack shell and lightly roll it along your hand or counter top to loosen shell and it will peel so easy...
i make the cake mix cookies, after they come out of the oven i top them with Andy's candy - or your equivalent is After Eights. let it melt as it cools and slather the melted candy all over the top. yum!
"you got to really give it a good blow Mrs barry"
Two years later and not one of the viewers noticed she actually squirted in his eye a minute before that. Shame.
The corn popping on the cob needs to specifically be popping corn / popcorn, which is very different than sweet corn. The Pop a Cob stuff is indeed popcorn. When I was younger we grew popcorn in my grandma's field, when it was dried on the stalks we'd pick it off and put it in a paper sack and zap it in the microwave. The corn we'd pop this way usually didn't fully pop, mostly because the moisture content was still too high. It popped best after we'd strip it all off the cob and left it to dry out a bit longer.
I’ve made cake mix cookies for 20 years. In fact, at Christmas time ii would make yellow cake dough and the children would roll the balls in red and green sugar. This was my solution for a busy working mom trying to get everything done. To this day, that’s what my kids think Christmas Sugar Cookies are. LOL. I’ve made so many flavor combos over the years including snickerdoodles, spice cookies, chocolate with chocolate chips. Very rich but delish.
