OMG I grew up on wagon wheels. The best ones were the ones that got accidently smooshed at the bottom of your book bag. LOL. I'm in Newfoundland Canada. Newfoundland was a British Colony until 1949 when we joined canada, so we have a lot of British food and sayings without the accent. We even watch coronation street. Hehe. We're directly right across the pond from you. Newfoundland was the first place to receive the distress signal from the Titanic. Our accent is a mix of french/English/scottish/indiginous/Portuguese. People find it hard to understand some of us. LOL. Sorry for the history lesson. 😜 Anyways, I've bought wagon wheels on Amazon a couple times, and they are definitely smaller. But just as YUM!

In this episode, Barry takes the biscuit, starts a tinfoil craze conspiracy and puts his bottom on sticky marshmallow. What more could you want? This was great and I kinda wish I liked marshmallows so I could enjoy this myself.

[@bl3993]

Modern cookie tins are made from thin steel which won't melt at 160C. Even if it was made from tin, tin melts at 231C so it should still be fine. The paint might burn though so it's always good to be safe. Great video as always!

[@pfannkuchengesicht42]

I don't think melting was the main concern, but the coating and color burning off and contaminating the food.

[@cggc9510]

I was thinking...they make round cake pans for a reason Barry.

[@SuperiorModel]

The paint and low quality metal degassing into the food concerns me more than it ever getting hot enough to melt.

[@GmodPlusWoW]

"WOW these got small." True that. I still remember when you and Stuart did a snackathon video, and he related an anecdote about finding an 80s Wagon Wheel, which was noticeably larger than 2010s Wagon Wheels, in the cursed historical artifact that is the Brown Sofa. Also, smart move with the darkmilk there. I remember that Cadbury used to do a blend of dark chocolate and milk chocolate that was pretty nice. I say "used to", but I don't know if they still do Darkmilk or if it's been discontinued. ...now that I think about it, Barry is basically the Professor Farnsworth of cooking. *Barry Farnsworth:* "Good news, everyone! I've created a Moon Pie the size of a small dog!" *Fry:* "Whoa, sweet! Why'd you make it?" *Farnsworth:* "To show those fools at the Great British Bake-Off how it's REALLY done! If anyone wants me, I'll be in the Barry Dome!" *_[muffled Darft Punk muzak]_*

Funnily enough, Burton still deny they've changed in size, despite clear evidence to the contrary. The original wagon wheels were 41g in size. They are now 36g in size; A reduction in size of 13%.

[@babyyodastan9928]

I worked in Burtons a long time ago making wagon wheels. When they are new they are crispy and ice cold and nothing like the ones on sale. After working a night on wagon wheels I was always 3 inches taller from all the wheels that fell on the floor getting stuck to my trainers.

Aluminum = American/Canadian English. Aluminium = every where else.

[@HimmelsDaemon]

I was taught to spell it Aluminium, pronounced as "American/Canadian" as you'd except though. (Rural East Coast) I swear the spelling changed sometime around the 2000s like for some marketing reasons.

[@tmf866]

Aluminum = what the discoverer of the metal called it. Aluminium = what some stodgy British people decided to call it for no good reason other than it sounds stodgier.

[@laurahubbard6906]

@@tmf866 Laurence Brown covered this in one of his videos. And the discoverer was a Brit who spelled it aluminum.

[@theInsaneRodent]

@@tmf866 technically, aluminium matches better to what some other metals end with, so that is what scientists officially agree on. (Titanium, magnesium, gallium, lithium, cadmium, sodium, cesium, etc.)

I bake in tins all the time, I’ve even baked in a heavy cardboard tray too. I figured if companies can mass produce cakes for Sam’s club and the grocery’s stores, in large cardboard sheet cakes it must work. It does! Just parchment line bottom and sides, they bake beautifully!

[@DeepOneBill]

Aluminum is the original spelling and pronunciation of the element, but on the advice of a colleague the the scientist who discovered it changed the name in order to make it sound more Latin. The original name is was used interchangeably with it whilst the element was still hard to manufacture and obscure. Once it entered the common lexicon the Aluminum name stuck in America due to Noah Webster, of Webster's dictionary, favored the spelling. The rest of the world tended to favor the -ium spelling. In 1920 the American chemical society officially took the Aluminum name for the element, cementing the spelling and pronunciation.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure Wagon Wheels are now covered in a chocolate-flavoured coating rather than actual chocolate

[@JulietKneeled]

Barry... Aluminium melts at almost 700 degrees celsius. And the foil you wrapped it in... Was just more aluminium. If you're worried about the tin being too thin, think about how thin aluminium foil is. It's fine. The paint on it would vaporise way before it melted, which I guess *could* be a problem, but since there's no paint on the inside, it's honestly fine.

[@Jfieldsend94]

I think he thought it was made of tin which probably would melt in an oven

[@twocvbloke]

@@Jfieldsend94 usually they're made of steel, so it's no worse than a typical baking sheet, just has the paint on the outside that could "add flavour" during baking... :P

[@fellenXD]

It may very well be clear coated inside, and i doubt it's food-grade, haha.

[@babetteisinthegarden6920]

Barry, if you form the foil around the outside of your pan or dish first and then put it on the inside you will have a much better shape with no distortions or large wrinkles and it will fit very snugly

[@jep9092]

The melting point of aluminum is 1221ﾟF or 660.3ﾟC However the melting point of 10 is 449.5ﾟF or 231.9ﾟC So while a normal baking oven in a kitchen would absolutely have the potential to melt a tin it is unlikely that cooking a biscuit at the temperature you are most likely using likely using is not enough to melt it The biggest concern would not be the tin itself but actually the paint on the outside causing a lot of fumes melting burning and being poisonous

[@DieselWeasel]

"The melting point of 10..." XD I'm guessing you used Speech-to-Text.

[@morkusmorkus6040]

Dude "tin" cans haven't been made of actual tin since forever. They're obviously made from steel...steel with a melting temperature over over 1500°C.

[@rollingthunder1043]

2:55 Actually, in baking sugar is considered a "wet" ingredient, despite being a granular solid like flour! Because you add it in with all the other wet/liquid ingredients, rather than into the flour and the other dry ingrediends.

It depends on what you're making. In some recipes, sugar is a wet ingredient, in others it's a dry ingredient.

It's a sad fact, Barry, that sweets and biscuits have been getting considerably smaller, but costing more over the years. Embarrassingly so, in some cases. When the TV series set in 1973, 'Life On Mars' (2006-7), was being made, a 'Curly Wurly' bar was needed as a prop. An original wrapper was borrowed from a collector - it had the 1973 price on it - 3p - but the current Curly Wurly of 2006 was way too small for it, and looked ridiculous. Ever made a giant Curly Wurly, Barry ?
