Egyptian fava bean falafel, also known as Ta'amai or broad bean falafel, is sooo much nicer than chickpea falafel. You must make some!

[@g.r.102]

Barry would you have a great black bean burger recipe? TIA

[@sarahjane3992]

This is not a recipe but something i have eaten for 30 years now, greated apple (pref red) grated mature yellow cheese and crushed chrisps (whatever flavour I think salt and vin works best) and mix all together and enjoy. Everyone who has told me I'm disgusting has tried it and loved it. Its been my own mixture for 30 years now. I'd love to see you try it 😄

[@smartperson1]

Barry fun video. Your subtitlers are still getting some words wrong that I'd expect they would come to learn. For example "stonkers" became "stampers" and "falafel" became "fluffy". Since I can hear it's not hard to figure out, but I think this would be rough for your non-hearing viewers. Is there any way for the community to help fix the captions?

[@AlexGarrickActress]

you should try cooking bacon in water

[@georgethakur]

Randomly remembered that when I was little I thought "Barry" was short for "Barold". Thought I was the smartest kid in school for figuring that one out.

Mrs Barry missed a trick by not throwing some Malibu in the bottom of that pineapple carcass for an impromptu tropical cocktail!

[@endymallorn]

At least we didn’t see her do it on camera.

[@ShockingPikachu]

10:45 “Well for someone who’s a vegetarian like phoebe” HA! 😂

[@CarlGorn]

I could see the falafel scoop working with cookie dough to make a bunch of pucks, which you can then freeze for later usage. Great way to get uniformly sized cookies or biscuits. Then you can make stonking doughs, have the baked goods look like they came out of a factory, and pretend like there's this legendary bakery that only you know of. 🤣

[@PsylomeAlpha]

To be fair, most commercial bakeries just use ice cream scoops

[@JamesPotts]

Hot-air poppers were super popular in the US in the late 70s and early 80s. They really dropped off after microwave popcorn hit the market.

[@transcendingtravel297]

I still use mine and love it

[@justarel]

@@transcendingtravel297 Mine sat for years in the pantry until I turned it into a PID controlled coffee roaster. Always seem to get better popcorn making it on the stove in a pan than I ever did with the thing. But it sure makes a killer small batch coffee/espresso roaster. lol

[@BSWVI]

Best fun at Brownie camp - put a sheet on the floor and the air popper in the middle with no lid! 🍿🍿

[@JamesPotts]

@@justarel that's brilliant!

[@MrMega200]

My parents had one in the 90s. It wasn't nearly as efficient as this one but you were never restricted to needing a special bowl to store with it. The modern equivalent is definitely the Presto models with the little butter melter scoop built into the plastic lid or other models like that. Definitely a great gadget that allows you to easily make popcorn without the negatives of forever chemicals in the single use microwave popcorn bags. At least here in the USA they have banned Teflon and other chemicals but the makers just used some other chemicals, which we don't know the long term use of.

[@IanSharpeCork]

When doing woody herbs - pulling it between the tines of a fork usually is the easiest :) Please try as a kitchen hack

[@SpitfiretheCat16]

I mean, I'm pretty sure the herb stripper is meant for those smaller herbs like rosemary and thyme, where the individual leaves are small enough to fill a real volumetric measurement without needing to be chopped up.

[@brianartillery]

Chloe: "I can eat all the bacon..." Funny, charming, and priceless. 👍👍👍

[@chaiadmon4038]

Since you've already used the herb tool, I think I'll measure everything else for the cooking in the measuring thinggy, like oil, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, since you already need to wash it anyway. Saves the scramble for measuring teaspoons and the washing afterwards.

[@rashmi_iyer]

The pineapple gadget is probably one of my best investments in kitchen. I usually don't go for 1 use gadgets, but since I love pineapples and it's a pain to chop up, this is perfect! ❤️

[@amarple424]

I would agree. The thought of having to prep a pineapple with a knife, is very unappealing. This gadget makes it so fast. Maybe a metal version would be more sturdy than plastic.

[@H.K_R]

We’ve had a similar Vacu Vin pineapple corer and slicer for a about 8 years now, it came in a box with three different sizes, it’s brilliant.

[@ian3314]

I bought that pineapple gadget after watching this! Different name but looked exactly like it. Best $10 I ever spent.

[@lhoffmann6537]

The bottle top pump would be more useful for bigger bottles and ones that have less product in them. A newly opened bottle with the cap replaced won't go flat too quickly because there is not a lot of air space to repressurize. But if you pour out half the contents, there's a lot more space for the gases to escape and expand into, and being able to pressurize it with outside air will keep a lot more of the carbonation in the liquid.

[@stitchesbysue]

I have a double barreled falafel maker my mom bought in Jerusalem. Works great. They use them in almost every falafel stand on every corner. Falafel are balled shaped there and the mix is spooned into the falafel maker and pushed out into the oil. Total fun to use.

[@Xentillus]

Here in the UK I've never seen disc shaped falafel before this video. Might just be a Barry thing...

[@justarel]

@@Xentillus I make them flat instead of balled so they cook evenly in a frying pan like Barry did here and uses much less oil. Also found it helps to have them flattened in an air fryer or oven for the same reason.

[@janetroberts2262]

Be easier to walk the unicorn 🦄 down the road and carry the pug 😂😂😂 Chloe’s “give me bacon” and then given a choice between three levels of cooking “so I can eat all of it” 😂😂😂 girl after my own heart ❤😋 Btw, I had a fizzy drink keeper about 30+ years ago which was just like the jokari one on Amazon and it worked really well 😃

[@wylanvallotton4462]

I feel like the microwave bacon maker would work better with "American style" bacon. The long thin strips.

As far as popcorn makers go, my current favorite is a silicone bowl that goes in the microwave for 'air-popped' in the microwave. 4 minutes at 60% power and it works a treat without the mess of most air poppers.

[@GemBonhamHorton]

In Egypt they make Falafal from Broad beans not chickpeas. Try it out!

[@gateauxq4604]

Are wheat and eggs normally in falafel? Ive never heard of that before. Seemed a bit odd.

[@ingodwetrust1987]

@@gateauxq4604 no falafel I normally vegan, some people also do half broad beans and half chickpeas, also alot more parsley btw don't cook anything in the mixer. I normally make a massive mix and freeze them into serving sizes ready to defrost and us. Also you deepfry them not pan fry.. I like Barry but I would like him to actually taste a real falafel, I think he'll love it.

[@BOYD1981]

You should try making Tepache from the left over pineapple pieces.

[@QueenKaitio]

As someone who grew up with a popcorn machine like that, you honestly cant beat the taste! Not that i dont love movie theater popcorn, but fresh air popped? Its so good

[@82mabli]

Barry, the running dad joke. But that's why we love him.

[@dawnmorris3718]

I always loved the core of the pineapple. So crunchy.

[@Cola82]

Dude, my dad had a tray with grooves that cooked bacon in the microwave back in the nineties. It was always crispy. 😂

[@mumblebrain]

I sometimes cook my bacon (when cooking enough for 1 sandwich only) and always reheat my pizza in my sandwich press (one of the ones with 2 flat plates. Bacon turns out crispy and pizza crisps up nicely as well.

[@Adiera]

That fizzy drink cap would be perfect for me as I sometimes like a soda but I would rather have it a bit less fizzy!

[@Sleepy-oi3xh]

With the herb thing, it feels like the measurements are an afterthought? I work with a lot of herbs in my everyday cooking and it seems like a game changer to be honest. I'm not too concerned with measurements. However, the basket/bowl thing seems great for preventing herbs from just blowing everywhere. Seems like they just added the measurements on because they could

[@GigsTaggart]

seems like you could drill some holes in a paint stirrer and save the 8 pounds 50. Though I guess you don't have the bowl then.

[@kiranmadan2131]

Your videos are quintessentially comfort videos. Thank you for sharing!!

[@alishahird897]

When I was a kid (in the 80s) my family kitchen had large variety of microwave "bakeware"....From muffin tins, cake pans, bacon cooking plates, ect. Mom had this one cook book just for microwave cooking. It had several pages dedicated to all the different "pots and pans" you can buy. I still have the bacon plates and use them once in a while...but, I still believe bacon is better baked in the oven (crispy juicy and delicious)

[@soupsgord]

Try it in an airfryer! Best bacon ever!

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

Lol my mom had the same thing! She had a whole cupboard full of just microwave cookware (why is it always made of that off white plastic with the tiny spots in it?). I still have her bacon plate. I don't use it to cook bacon but it's perfect for defrosting chicken or pork chops on so that the moisture drips into the grooves.

[@bovinethunder]

I love the gadget tests...though im still going to chuck my bacon under a grill! Cant wait to find out what the secret G(or B?)adget is! Though... id love a secret pay x amount and you dont find out till it arrives!

[@hannahatkins636]

I've not finished watching this yet but I just wanted to say thanks to you Barry for patting Pat in one of your recent videos. (I think the 1000 layer potatoes 🥔 🤔) I was the person who tweeted you it when you announced Pat on twitter and you liked my tweet. It made my day. *UPDATE * Now watched the video, my two favourites are the herb spoony thing and the lemonade fizzy cap.

[@jennywhiskey9327]

American style bacon cooks really well in those microwave plates. I swear by mine! The trick is to take it off as soon as it comes out of the microwave and let it cool on a papertowel for max crispiness If you let it cool on the plate it will stick and become too brittle to remove

[@kitkatmccabe]

i bought the pineapple gadget and one for cutting a mango from lakeland over 2 months ago absolutely love them both

[@ForgFromFinland]

A store nearby my house has a machine that does same thing as the pineapple gadget and its free to use

I love that bacon microwave cooker. I always make my bacon in one and u can adjust time for crispness.

[@kornefof]

You are using the Falafel tool wrong Barry. First, the Falafel mix should be more like loose mince than a dough You then fill the tool with a spoon (pack it in) and flick the handle to pop it out into the oil.

[@ofratshkedy881]

And the ketchup next to it was so out of place from what I’m used to. It’s usually goes with tehina.

i'd imagine the bottles would have stayed fizzy for longer if you hadnt shaken them and opened them too. Think i will invest in one of those things. trying to cut back on fizzy drinks and now i know i dont have to drink a bottle just because it will go flat. 👍

One idea for the falafel maker is use it to make mini burgers, make some burger bun dough and stamp it out with the falafel maker and bake them, then stamp out circles of plastic cheese slices. Easy cheeseburger canapes.

The pineapple thing... after you use the tool, remove the core, put the pieces in a bowl, mix with equal parts seedless watermelon and sliced strawberry, and stuff it back into the pineapple. (Of course there will be extra, put it in a bowl.) Put the top back on the pineapple and serve it at a party.

[@miskaa1]

Where did you get your falafel recipe from Barry? Doesn’t look bad but I’ve never seen it as a dough 😂 you should always use raw soaked chickpeas, not canned and no eggs. A piece of raw potato if you’d like but it should be a loose sandy texture

[@lamemechose7072]

I normally bake my bacon 1lb at a time. But on the rare occasion that I only make a few slices, I frequently use the microwave. The trick to more even cooking and less shrinkage is to cook it longer and slower at a lower temperature. I do 60 or 70% power for regular and 50 or 60% power for thick cut. Your timing is correct here and there’s no reason it wouldn’t work with that tray gadget.
