As always, if you'd like to have a watch of the previous hacks videos we've done, including an egg beater made of chopsticks, check out this playlist and grab the popcorn ruclips.net/p/PLfItiEY3o1mtJvIdfPhp-sZXfBqF9q24V
Barry, the thump causes the lid to flex enough so that the air can get into the jar. This equalises the pressure between the inside of the jar and the open air and the jar is easier to open. If the jam jar has no air inside it the atmosphere is pressing the lid on with around 50kg of force.
The jar lid whacking one is basically what we would do back in the day, except we'd rap the lid on the edge of a worktop to break the seal (though occasionally broke the jar too!!!), probably frowned upon though if said worktop was an expensive one versus the cheap stuff from MFI or B&Q that we had... :P
That corn spinner thingy is also useful to put butter on it while still hot. Just push it on top of your butter block and spin. Also, would work a bit better if you straightened out the fork so the axis of the whole thing was aligned in the middle.
To open a jar get a spoon and place it under the lid in the gap between the glass and give it a pry. It should release the pressure with a pop and be super easy to open. Not sure if you've tried it but it is the easiest way
@@X22GJP I use to try that, but not always consistent. The small prying until the pop works everytime if you can find something that fits under the cap.
@@X22GJPMy mother taught me to turn the jar upside down and tap it on the linoleum floor instead. There’s just enough give to linoleum that there’s no risk of breaking the glass as on a hard countertop. That’s why the hack uses a wooden spoon.
Hey Baz, love tthese hacks (yes, even the dangerous ones! lol) Slight bit of useless knowlede; that ring of numbers on your drill is not speed control, it's a torque limiting clutch so you don't over-tighten screws :D useful if you're gonna speed-eat corn on a drill (like the video you mentioned lol)
Mrs. B remembering the chopsticks fan hack ....like a old retired veteran recalling the horrors of battle. Barry: it's like the chopstick fan hack 😊 Mrs. B: 😮😰 (Fortunate son by CCR begins to play in the background) Mrs. B: oh no....😱 the memories 😢 Berry please 😨
I've always just used a teaspoon or a tablespoon and placed it between the jar and the lid with the convex side of the spoon against the jar and pushed slightly against the spoon to break the seal.
Keep looking on the spoons and jar, there is a much simpler, 100% of the time first time every time, method available. Can use a fork or table knife too if you use the handle end but spoon is safe.
A jar hack I use is a spoon under the lip to pop the seal. Place the tip of the spoon under the edge of the lid, and lever it out until the air seal pops. The jar will open no problem
I usually take the lid of a jar and hit it on the floor. My grandma taught me that hack😂 works similar to the spoon trick. Not sure why but it causes the seal to pop up
eating corn on the cob on the drill, the long way. also if u want to open a stuck can, just take a small knife and shove it under the lid, it will pop the lid
best one for the new jars - Interlock your fingers and put them over the top of the jar lid, then put your palms onto the side of the lid and squeeze together. youll hear a like click/pop or air suction noise depending on the jar. Then just open it like normal, it will have no resistance.
For the jar, you just need to break the vacuum seal. You can tap (gently😄) the lid on the floor or use an old fashioned bottle opener if the side of the lid isn't so long.
It's so good and important that you talk about a better way to do these things. Like the steamer. So people don't think to do these as their best option.
I think health & safety people will be loding sleep over the stick processor and nuts and all those wire racks balancing and i have no comment on the drill 🤣
That cakehack would work well with my tongs, just a lump of thin sheet metal, bent to shape. A, sieve, metallic, works quite well for an ad-hoc steamer.
Another option for the wood spoon is literally to just tap the lid on the edge of a table lol. Works every time for me. It's basically breaking the air seal, which relieves a lot of the pressure holding the lid so tightly.
To easily open a jar, turn it on the side and roll the lid along the edge of the worktop, applying a bit of pressure. This should pop the seal (bayaaaa) without a risk of breaking the jar. The hack for grinding nuts with a blender is basically creating a tiny coffee grinder - which is what I used to to make ground almonds decades ago.
A bit of info for Mrs B. Popcorn is a specific type of corn and, YES, if you get it you can actually pop it on the cob!!!!!!! There’s an old timey general store better dalhart and Hartley Texas that sells popped popcorn on the cob
For opening a jar, I just gently tap the lid brim all around on the surface of the counter or table and it usually works for me 😅 No need for a wooden spoon 😆
Just started watching this video and had to comment since I’ve seen you address this with several gadgets or hacks over the years… I use the coke/beer bottle opener part of my standard/cheap hand held can opener to pop the seal on jars that are hard to open. It’s that little “hook” part that is on most cheap hand held can openers and has worked every time! I’ve found just popping the seal makes the jar easy to open! Most times it looks like I’ve bent the lid but they always seem to reseal just fine! Feel free to try this hack on your channel, I’m sure I’m not the first, nor will I bee the last to open jars this way!
When it comes to opening glass jars and such, i usually take a butter knife or similar, jam the tip up under the lid, and then use it to bend the lid a little to let air in, the second air gets in, its easy to open.
I thought that jam jar one was pretty interesting! My mum and I end up trying all sorts to try and open jars but half the time I think the jar ends up laghing at us!
On opening a jar, I just tap the edge of the lid with the handle of a butter knife, thus breaking the seal. Grilled corn. Either parboil corn first then it takes a shorter time on the BBQ or coat in a little EVOO and cook in air fryer. Steamer, well my hubby picked up a 3 tier electric one at a thrift shop for me a couple years ago and I still don't use it. Can do 24 hard boiled eggs in it also, but never had that big of a party to make 48 deviled egg halves.
I can't afford a Vitamix and I refuse to buy a blender that's not a vitamix so I've done some pretty heinous things with an emersion blender but this is a step too far, Barry

Why not try popcorn with the drill? Be a mess- but oh what fun.
You two are brilliant together! I was laughing so much.
Also, I now need to buy some flavored Pringles and try the dip/hashbrown creation for my kids!
I love seeing Mrs. B's face when he says, "I've got an idea" 😂
I was always taught to bang the edge of the jar lid on the edge of the kitchen counter and it pops straight away! Most easy way ever!!
Kitchen Hacks are so fun to watch Barry!
Cheers, some are useful ..... some lol
I remember a video of someone scalping themselves when trying to eat 'corn-on-the-drill'
Yes!!! Her hair came right off! Imagine that was very, very painful
It can also rip your teeth out if you're using high torque.
I saw one where the teeth came loose
The jar lid whacking one is basically what we would do back in the day, except we'd rap the lid on the edge of a worktop to break the seal (though occasionally broke the jar too!!!), probably frowned upon though if said worktop was an expensive one versus the cheap stuff from MFI or B&Q that we had... :P
Baayaayaaaa
Definitely, my Mum used to tap the lidded edge of the jar, on the floor to release the seal.
My grandma taught me to whack the lid on the floor as well 😂
We always hit a knife in the edge of the lid, worked like a charm
That corn spinner thingy is also useful to put butter on it while still hot. Just push it on top of your butter block and spin.

Or just use a metal skewer instead.
To open a jar get a spoon and place it under the lid in the gap between the glass and give it a pry. It should release the pressure with a pop and be super easy to open. Not sure if you've tried it but it is the easiest way
Tapping the lid of the jar on a counter top needs no tools and is extremely easy.
I usually do the same with a knife. Cutlery knife, of course.

I’ve missed Mrs B in a video and love your hacks videos, they’re always chaotic!
Miss B just absolutely taking out the built up emotions from the Easter holidays out on that jam jar😂😂
Your pringles dip, should have used a stick blender 😂
Mrs. B remembering the chopsticks fan hack ....like a old retired veteran recalling the horrors of battle.
Barry: it's like the chopstick fan hack 😊
Mrs. B: 😮😰
(Fortunate son by CCR begins to play in the background)
Mrs. B: oh no....😱 the memories 😢 Berry please 😨
Anyone else instantly like barry's videos because a great time is always in the bag?❤❤❤❤❤
Especially the kitchen hacks ones.
Yes, just yes
Yes
for the Pringles "dip" I think I'd try crushing it up and blending it with sour cream instead of boiling it in water.
That's actually sounds appetizing.
I bet that you could make a fantastic hybrid between your McDonald's hash browns and that baked Pringle thing. Pringle flavoured hash browns!
2:53 just put some utensil between the lid and the jar to release the vacuum. no need to hit it with anything. :D
I normally very gently pry at the lid with a teaspoon. Usually you can hear the pop as the vacuum releases :D
Old fashioned can opener...the -one with the pointy, triangle side. Stick the point upside down under the lid
or workout
Seriously I’ve seen people break their teeth trying to eat corn off a drill. Don’t do it.
With the rebaked Pringle you guys have created a hack LOL😂
If you lay a jar on its side and tap the lid side all the way around on a hard surface it will open easier as it releases the seal.
Good call! Also bayaya
I've always just used a teaspoon or a tablespoon and placed it between the jar and the lid with the convex side of the spoon against the jar and pushed slightly against the spoon to break the seal.
Yep, that’s what I do - usually find a couple of light taps at each of the 3,6,9 and 12 positions does the trick.
Awesome! Always love these and cheap vs. Steep! Welcome back Mrs. B!
The Pringle hash brown was actually genius. I bet some of the other flavours would be great.
i had a good giggle watching this one. thank you both.

I have one of those metal baking ?scrapers for picking up chopped stuff etc from the chopping board to the pan and you could use that to cut a cake.
Liked the steamer hack. But you can also add a fourth layer by adding a fine mesh strainer at the bottom hanging just above the water surface
Ice tongs would be perfect - like the fancy ones
You can tap the lid on the side of the counter too. That open jars
For the jar hack, you dont even need wooden spoon, just tap the lid on a hard surface and It would help break the vacuum formed by the jar.
The mega pringle looked horrific
Yay! My favorite series of videos!
My favorite cake slicing hack is give everyone a wine glass and you just push it into the cake and lift. You get a glass full of cake.
3:10 I've always just turned the jar over and whacked it on the bottom. (Like the naughty jar it is.) 🤣🤣🤣
Try making the pringle smaller, and use the air fryer to dehydrate it, that way you can have giant crisp pringles
Why did they use the entire tube of Pringles 😂
I have always used the tap on the jar lid to get stubbern ones open. It releases the seal of the jar.
Mrs. B hit that glass as if it owed her money 😆
I always tap stuck jar lids on the side of the bench top. Works a charm 😊
Mrs B is always appreciated in a video! And she still looks like sarah Connor! Any luck in her watching the movies barry?
Thanks mate and not yet lol
@@mrbarrylewis keep trying

2:55 use the edge of the spoon on the top edge of the jar it bent it a little bit but it breaks the seal and then you can open the jar😊
eating corn on the cob on the drill, the long way.
also if u want to open a stuck can, just take a small knife and shove it under the lid, it will pop the lid
I'll watch this video on my birthday to justify the cake eating. But if you ask me every day should be cake day.

I’m 60 and growing up my mom always, opened a jar first by hitting the lid against the counter to release the suction.

My husbands 63 birthday today 🎉
It should be possible to chop coffee beans with the stickblender😂
I think health & safety people will be loding sleep over the stick processor and nuts and all those wire racks balancing and i have no comment on the drill 🤣
Hey Barry, Love your videos.... I have a question: how come you don't use your new studio?
He did for a while but it's expensive for things like that in the UK
If you haven’t got a sharp knife, use some blunt tongs 😂
That cakehack would work well with my tongs, just a lump of thin sheet metal, bent to shape. A, sieve, metallic, works quite well for an ad-hoc steamer.
That was hilarious. I haven't eaten Pringles in years, but I want to try the mashed then baked version.
Another option for the wood spoon is literally to just tap the lid on the edge of a table lol. Works every time for me. It's basically breaking the air seal, which relieves a lot of the pressure holding the lid so tightly.
Funniest thing was setting the torque to 1 and thinking it was a speed setting 😅😅😅😅
6:11 you could give it a run through the blender to smooth it out😊
I love Mrs B and her reactions to the ideas! She is an awesome wife. :)
Such an understanding wife LMAO.

1:03 me sitting here going "I'd just use the end part of the tongue to cut it like a knife" 😂
Yea I feel like that was more of a leave a perfect sized imprint then you use a knife to cut it.
See that dog-sick Pringle dip? That's what it looks like in your stomach after eating a tube... 🤣
My Mrs would slap me if I called her “mate” 😂
Just want to say that wheel on the drill is not the speed it's the ratchet setting, the speed control is the switch on top.
You have made my boring morning! You two are a total hoot!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤
Thanks glad you enjoyed :)
For opening a jar, I just gently tap the lid brim all around on the surface of the counter or table and it usually works for me 😅 No need for a wooden spoon 😆
A stuck jar, just need like a butter knife under the lid edge and wedge it a little until you hear a pop, then it is good to open.
I remember the video where someone knocked their teeth out with a corn on a drill 😂

The Pringle Hash Brown, taking failure and making it into a success,
i keep a square of drawer liner in my kitchen to open jars with! highly recommend doing that
Love these videos & thanks Barry n Mrs B 🤣👍

Jars i usually just use a bottle opener very slightly to open the seal
I like how the best thing to come out of these hacks was Barry's Pringle pancake shitpost idea.
Whenever I can’t open a jar I just whack it on the edge of the counter, works everytime.
After all these years I still find it so jarring when British people say “fill-it” for fillet. 😆
For stubborn jars I use a strap wrench
Interesting video. Wasn’t keen on the bowl of ‘cat sick’ though. Another jam jar hack I’d place it in hot water then
Lid comes off easy
What a sad waste of 2 perfectly good cans of Pringles...😅
Love your kitchen hack vlogs.
Can't open a jar? Put on disposable gloves. We all have them now. Try it! The emersion blender doesn't need plastic wrap, just do it in a cup.
Easier way to open a jar is to put a butter knife under the lid and twist. Do it under one of the “bumps”. It will pop.
A jar i just use the end of the spoon to lever up the edge and the lid will pop and unscrew easy.
I just do a sharp tap on the worktop and this releases the seal on jars
I thought that jam jar one was pretty interesting! My mum and I end up trying all sorts to try and open jars but half the time I think the jar ends up laghing at us!
"You said hit it!"
The pringles one maybe could have achieved mash potatoes texture if zapped in food processor prior to boiling.
Lol. The Pringles thing looks like you've chewed on them for a while and spat it back out.
I still love my «Jar-key» hope to not ever need to hit a glass jar with a wooden spoon 😅 Bought it after seeing it in your gadget video 👍🏻

Now I want to try to make a Pringle pizza… how long did you have it in oven for? What temp?
Please get a ninja creamy or whatever it's called and make some broccoli ice cream 😂😂

You just need a butter knife to break the airlock on the jam jar.
Just smack the bottom or light tap lid on counter. Much easier and no tools.
Hitting the lid breaks the vacuum a little bit of the jar making it easier to open.
you might want to use the tongs that are just one piece spring action, like a pom tong
a better tip for the lid on the jam jar os to just tap the side of the lid on the edge of ya worktops ;) lol xxx
