I Tested Viral Kitchen Gadgets ft a Banana Corer!?

[@mrbarrylewis]

Hope you enjoyed this episode, please let me know if you've seen any cool kitchen gadgets that I haven't tried out just yet! If you'd like to watch the others so far, check out this playlist with lots more kitchen gadgets put to the test kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnamcquGrdiXo9E

[@rolfs2165]

Gadget suggestion: Krups Ovomat. Best way to cook eggs, in my opinion. It gets them perfect (no matter what you consider your perfect egg) every time, and only needs a shot glass of water for it.

[@trupurple]

Hi I hope you are well.? I love your content. The egg gadget that you used in this one is similar to the one you have used in another video. I might be rong put it was a spring one not a solid one. I hope this makes sense.?

[@trupurple]

@@zackriggs2976 I thought it look similar. Well my comment is rong. @BarryLewis I'm sorry

[@charlartsandotherstuff2588]

I recently brought an automatic potato peeler - i can’t recall if you’ve used one before, but they’re available on amazon. Great for when you want to get the kids involved in cooking without the risk of injuries!

[@Jont12gte]

The Ice tray said to twist it and then use the tabs to lift it up for easy grab basically

[@Ashfullstop12]

The onion and tomato gadgets are a really good idea for people who want reduce their use of single-use plastics like cling film!

[@AgentBoobimus]

I was just about to say that, i'd much rather use those gadgets than plastic wrap.

[@w.vangaal1077]

Yes! I was surprised he didn't mention that.. because that why they exist..

[@raaahu8952]

SUPER AGREE

[@mariegueguen302]

You can use bee wraps as well! :)

[@LauraBradbury169]

I feel you could just put the cut side down on a plate though

[@sleepythemis]

Thanks Barry, now I really want cheese. Also, those tomato and onion savers might not make much of a difference compared to bags as far as preservation, but it COULD help in reducing household waste!

[@anndownsouth5070]

I agree with now wanting cheese.

[@cyndywaskelisthecrowscall]

You did read the instructions on the ice cube tray. I remember hearing you say you have to twist the tray to loosen the cubes, THEN push the dealie on the bottom.

[@adamkieffer6827]

The “pusher” mechanism seem like a gimmick. You have to twist the tray to break the cubes, then hold it with one hand while moving the lever to bump a cube out with that same hand or the other (so possibly two-handed operation?). Or you can twist a regular tray to break the cubes and put it down on the counter and just take one out. Maybe this would be a good solution for someone, but I suspect even those with poor dexterity would do better with a regular tray.

[@mediaphile]

Yeah, seems pretty clear you crack them to loosen them, then with it still upright, squeeze the lever to push it up so you can pull it out.

[@CharlotteDickinson1996]

“Did you order a load of T-shirt’s?” “…no” “………….ok” 😂

[@ogrejd]

Odds that Barry forgot to flex the ice cube tray to loosen them like it says on the package? :)

[@Ocerkin]

you can tell he didnt from the top of the tray, its a solid sheet of ice on top, you flex an ice tray youll have crunched broken shards if you flipped it over on the table

[@drunkrdm]

yup, he didn't. it's not a Barry video without user error.

[@mustwereallydothis]

We had to wait for the last minute to see Barry mess up simple instructions. Whew! He had us worried for a bit but he pulled through for us as always.

[@joyplatt2307]

I was coming just to say the exact same thing

[@slueshyslueshy2176]

it also looks like he completely over filled it, usually you just try to put enough water in the fill the cubes, not so that am ice sheet forms on top

[@WakkoTheWakken]

If i were to wrap every single half veggie i have in plastic wrap I'd go through a lot of plastic lol

[@writeordie5452]

You should try a proper simple scandinavian cheese-slicer, that thing thereis overenginered to the extreme, and honestly seem far more dangerous as well.

[@evelina4909]

I came here to say that as well 😅✌🏻

[@Cantfi]

Yes, I second that.

[@annelis1538]

Gastromax cheese slicer ❤️

[@centrifugedestroyer2579]

We got those in Germany as well. In case anyone doesn't know: They basically look like a cake shovel with a slit and sharp edge towards the wider end, that basically functions like a hand plane.

[@madamemontespan9418]

A Norwegian invention. Thor Bjørklund in 1925.

He clearly said "twist the tray" Then release individual ice cubes.

My grandpa used to collect salt and pepper shakers before he passed away. He got in the local paper for his collection.

[@ydocvader]

You know, you always say "I hope YOU are well." Well I also hope you're doin' well, Barry. Thanks for the videos!

[@mrbarrylewis]

I'm doing alright thanks

[@charishadjipanayi7301]

Hello Barry considering the ice cube gadget, probably you overfilled it with water and the ice cubes were stuck together. Try it again next time with less water and hopefully it will work :)

[@PsychGirlRaven]

Think he just didn’t twist

[@heavenlycute]

All the Norwegians watching: “That is the dumbest cheese slicer ever.” 😂

[@zetsuki4207]

All us swedes too...

[@joannedejong6943]

And dutchies too😂

[@HomeFryWolfie]

And "how do you not know how to use a cheesslicer... I have done so since I could reach the counter to make my own food"

[@Marianne-F]

haha i know right, been using one since i was god knows how little. That slicer there? i wouldn't touch it haha

[@laartje24]

The Dutch are right there with you.

[@leahmarie821]

That banana thing could have been a good "will it" video with Ashens or some sort of food horror video also with Ashens.

[@tncorgi92]

A banana filled with Surströmming?

[@WakkoTheWakken]

Did you twist the icecube tray to loosen the cubes like it said in the instructions before pressing the button on the back to release the cube?

[@kikidee1969]

I have leftover jars from dips and jams and such and I whack leftover fruit and veg in there. Less plastic. Tadaaaah 😁

[@carveylover]

I can not believe someone was so upset by your honest review that they asked you to reshoot a whole video. I am sure that happens a lot but the audacity. I bet some people even do it. You are good an honest person Barry.

[@MsScully25]

The sound of the cheese grater tho. It is like the sound of styrofoam. I just wanted to jump through my screen and wrestle Barry to make him stop.

[@alanacat7787]

The sounds of that thing hurt my teeth...

[@lisaagus3210]

I have a yellow pod for lemons from Aldi, it really works 👍

[@GabrielaEmerique]

The pod one is good for saving plastic :) environment friendly

[@karenknapp4918]

Lemon curd would be awesome in the banana! The episode was awesome.

[@LifeisFrantastic404]

The tomato and onion fresh stretch thingy is a better version of the Chef Excellence Cheese Bags that Stuart Ashens showed ages ago 😂 An excellent video!

[@tncorgi92]

Stay fresh, cheesebags.

[@theforgottendinosaur]

Of course the onion and tomato you put in the package thing is better than the others,you put them in the fridge and not out on the counter lol

[@RyuRaeArashi]

The food wrap cup things are about reducing plastic waste, so for that they are pretty good. You'll throw away a lot of plastic wrap vs that one pod when it finally gives out.

[@CricketEngland]

10:42 we have wild garlic growing just outside the flats from where we live.

[@russellrollain5295]

LOL! Your laughter is contagious! Thank you for sharing this video!

[@kbrown5523]

When you read the directions for the ice cube tray it clearly said that you still needed to twist the tray to loosen all the cubes first, then you could get each individual cube out by pressing the buttons.

[@SoCalKT]

The banana filler would be great for filling jelly donuts & aebelskivers. The hugging piglets are sooo cute! 😀

[@consultingdetective6310]

I love the filling part of the banana corer.... it'd be a great tool to use to fill eclairs or donuts or something. I always hate using a pastry bag.

[@susanpettett1211]

Great video! I always enjoy the product reviews! With the ice cube tray, did you twist it first and then push to release it like it mentioned at the beginning?

[@xrayteck7]

Eeeek Barry! That cheese slicer! I feel icky about using a mandolin! I fear I will slice a layer of my skin off with it. (Shivering)

[@Chris173972]

I think with the tomato/onion keeper, the gadget is a better idea as it's a lot less waste plastic and can be reused.

[@Chris173972]

Ice cube tray, it did say to twist with lid on so maybe try that before pressing the buttons?

[@HomeFryWolfie]

Less plastic waste with the storage gadget, than with wrap 😅

[@justiceuk]

I'm trying to vastly reduce my disposable plastic and have found these to be great. Often like a bit of onion or tomato on a sandwich so get used a ton.

[@Fuwi69XD]

Well, at the amount of plastic used to produce it, you could use a lot of wrap until you're worse than the reusable ones :/

[@tncorgi92]

Tupperware is just as effective.

[@HomeFryWolfie]

@@tncorgi92 agree. But not as affordable I guess. I'm on minimum disability, not a lot of money to use :)

[@lunavixen015]

@@HomeFryWolfie washed out salsa jars work great for storing fruit and veg

[@BSWVI]

Your garlic rocker is the best still!! I Love everything in the Barry Lewis veg prep kit, and make far too many chips because the chopper is so easy!!

[@Novashadow45]

I have that ice cube tray and love it. I've had it for Almost a year and had a no faults with it.

[@moonbladem]

I was going, "Why would anyone want to core a banana?" Then the Nutella thing happened and I was like, "Ooooh... I'd try that!" The onion and tomato keepers look like a good idea. I just wish you had them in the fridge for longer, like a day or so, to see how they hold up.

[@letovesic3153]

Looks like you overfilled the ice tray, basically creating an ice rink. It needs to be a bit more precise, is my guess.

[@rosannasessions3753]

Best way to finish the school day 😌

[@JuliettePlays]

I commented this on the last banana one but I really think you should try the banana gadget with cucumber and a savoury filling like tuna 😋

[@smb611]

Have you tried the Chef'n ice cream maker?? It's awesome!!

[@theresamnsota3925]

I bought the orange and white cheese slicer (I think by Chef'n) that you had on another gadget testing video. BEST cheese slicer ever.

[@chrissyschnarrs9618]

The ice cube tray would be great for me I walk with a cane so it would travel to the freezer easier and easier for me to get out of the tray

[@ekuLsemaN]

Straight up ordered that ice cube tray after this vid, looks very cool and i definitely didn't brake my current one literally today by twisting it too hard trying to pop the ice out.. oops 😂🤣

[@jule834]

"Slightly kinky, pulling the plug out...." 😂😂😂😂😂

[@anumeon]

Always a treat to come in early for a Barry video. :)

[@mavadelo]

Just being a Dutchman watching Barry, laughs in Dutch Kaasschaafs........ You ever seen a Dutch cheeseslicer barry? That is all you need, no "adjustable thickness" nonsense.... just perfect slices of cheese.

[@dimitravasdeki7456]

Love your videos!! Greetings from Greece!!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Hey! thanks so much

[@berngirl5624]

I like the idea that you can store your garlic in the tube thing. That's why it has the little flippy lid thing on the bottom. :)

[@amelialmqvist5528]

In Sweden we have "osthyvel" for cutting cheese. You should try one of instead. They work so much better

[@georgiadreamingbb1245]

I accumulated my salt and pepper shakers from my grandma collection and she collected over 200 pair and counting. Now I'm obsessed with them!

[@amandasumosky2155]

Okay the salt and pepper thing does legitimately bother me every time. 🤣 The one with more holes is ABSOLUTELY for salt. The fewer holes is for the pepper. There’s no debating this. It’s a fact of life.

[@AdrianWoodUK]

22:30 One thing to keep in mind is that the gadgets you showed are reusable (I hope!), while the clingfilm is disposable and pretty wasteful.

[@sarahmorey3212]

The thing for the onion and tomato is to reduce waste. You’re throwing away a lot of plastic using cling film so by using those reusable tubs you aren’t throwing plastic away every time you want to use it. I’d recommended changing so you’re not part of the problem 😉☺️

[@garethpatterson4964]

The pods reduce single use plastic which is super helpful. Would be interested why there are separate ones for onions and tomatoes is it just the colour or something else?

[@insertnamehere2635]

Excellent as always Barry. Great way to start my day. My 7 week old is watching with me, this is the first video he was captivated by and watched the entire thing!!! Thanks again, have a wonderful day, you and your family. 🥰

[@AucklandGirl21]

I bought ice cube trays from kmart here in new zealand (I think ASDA may be similar?) And the ice cube trays have silicone bottoms to push out the ice easily...game changer in summer

[@Oddballkane]

My husband loves onion but he doesn't use all of it at once. So those pods will be great we used to have ones that hang off the fridge shelf. We got a new fridge / freezer it no longer has gaps in the shel so those pods would be great.

[@Ocerkin]

he really is bad at remembering directions, you can tell he didnt twist that ice tray to loosen them like the directions said to prior to trying to get them to dispense, it isnt a very useful gadget anyhow but fair play to the tray, do it right before complaining about it

[@afras9433]

He doesn't follow the instruction at all

[@missemilyjane]

I’m extremely careless with sharp utensils when I’m cooking but even I was feeling uneasy watching you use the cheese slicer 😅

[@Shyted]

Got the old version of the ice cube tray, doesn’t really work. The cubes all break up and then either loads fall out at once our you can’t get them out.

[@GreyHulk2156]

The onion and tomato pods remind me of the old Star Wars Carbonite block from the 2000s Star Wars "Carbon-Freezing Chamber" set! You could put any figure into it, close it, and the fabric overlay would make it look like they were 'frozen'.

[@Ketutar]

Congratulations! I live in Sweden, and the Swedes invented the cheese slicer. I come from Finland, and that is a gadget found in practically every Finnish and Swedish home. I have been using them since I was a kid, and I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE WHO HAS CUT THEMSELVES WITH ONE. You are the first! I'm impressed! It's like a potato peeler. Practically the same principle. Never heard of anyone cutting themselves with that one either. Grater is a whole different discussion.

[@paulherman5822]

The banana corer thingy bears a resemblance to how the old Sheaffer Touchdown filler fountain pens look. I have several... I agree with the idea of using it to make some sort of a frozen banana popsicle. Some sort of custard in, or something.

[@QuakerJT]

Did you twist the ice-cube tray first, like the instructions (you read) said? 😊

[@mikefritts6203]

The ice cube tray instructions you read said to twist the tray first to loosen the cubes.

[@HowToCuisine]

The little pigs are so cute! haha 😂😂

[@Dust76tr]

For the cheese slicer gadget, I usually just use a potato peeler. Works just as well (although it’s only one setting) and doesn’t need a separate gadget

[@KoolAid12348]

[@ebonydove2010]

Did you twist the ice cube tray first I think that was in the instructions. The tomato and onion keeper are fantastic I have something similar from Tupperware they can hang from the wire shelves so much easier than plastic wrap. The banana think stuffed with strawberry yogurt frozen and dipped in chocolate or a caramel sauce sounds delicious

Have used a cheese cutter like that since I was very small. Dont need to be as aggressive with it. It will sometimes stick to the cheese. But with practice it is soooooo much better than a knife.more control of how much cheese you use 😁🧀

With the cheese slicer, turn the block of cheese 90 degrees and hold it with your left hand and with your right hand drag the cheese slicer across the top of the cheese from left to right. (or vise-versa if you're left handed). You don't drag it toward the hand that's gripping the cheese.
