With the 'can' opener- Reason you're getting bad results is the can has no structural integrity after the lid comes up and the pressure is released. Take an empty can, cut the lid off with scissors, fill it with water, and try to simply hold it in the middle. You'll get why it failed.

[@fikawithangel4803]

That gadget for the washing up liquid.. A tip is to "thin the liquid out" (if you get what I mean) with some water. I used to have a similar one quite a long time ago. The liquid itself is often to thick to really go through the tiny hole. So I used to mix half liquid and half water. Worked like a charm everytime!

[@scootdude12]

i love that you talk about how these gadgets can help disabled people

[@shawnsisler3743]

Barry, you and Mrs. B are going to love that air fryer for warming leftovers... even just stuff like fish and chips from the drive-throughs, just put them in there for a couple of minutes before eating them and it's like you just got them fresh.

[@elizabethpawlowski2673]

Those sealers for the bags you have to hold them together for about 20 seconds first to heat them up

[@klopferator]

I have the one Barry tested and it gets hot really fast, starts sealing after a second or so. 20 seconds of heating up seems excessive to me.

[@khills]

Klopfer which one do you have? I’ve tried a few now, and they’ve never worked.. 😐

[@raynalangdon8158]

He also was pulling it across the wrong way, it was sideways instead of running the heating element across horizontally.

[@soupsgord]

Thank you! I thought mine was defective but got it to work after reading your comment!

There's something so wholesome about Barry being excited over the discovery of what is essentially a strap wrench.

[@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome]

Yep, been using those for years to get oil filter off when doing oil changes lol

[@RoselSmidheda]

"This is literally a sealer..." Baiah-aer.

[@kennethyoung141]

Can top remover is amazing, I have one and love it! Never grip the middle,grip the bottom,pop the top for easier removal. Mrs.B you need to order Barry around more,love it. A kitchen hack,use a plastic sandwich bag on your hand to cover the cake tin in butter, no mess,no fuss and easy clean up,toss it.

[@CarinaCoffee]

I actually watched Freakin' Reviews testing the original Draft Top earlier! The only real upside to that gadget in my opinion is that you can get all the liquid out for recycling. And apparently there's a real learning curve to it and you need to hold the can either at the bottom or top (don't squeeze the middle) and release some pressure beforehand if it isn't working, but yeah, he was getting drink all over, too, especially when he pushed the can lids in, if he got them to open. About the bag sealers, I think it really is a hit or miss thing, some seem to work, others don't.

[@rolfs2165]

It certainly didn't help that Barry was pulling the bag sealer diagonally instead of straight across.

[@jennigee51]

I watched the Freakin’ Reviews too, the other good thing about it IMHO, that you didn’t get a sharp edge so it was easier to drink out of the can (at least for me) 😊

[@wbennin]

Love Freakin' Reviews!

[@carikahavenga1056]

Barry testing the bag sealer: "and now, for another Good Idea, Bad Idea"

[@hteekay]

I'm sure there should be an instruction telling you not to grip the fizzy drinks on the mid section becuase it's structurely weakest part of the can.

[@Mrhullsie2]

Also, from watching Freakin Reviews, you should open the can to release the pressure before using. Though he didn't have much more success.

[@grangisjefe2564]

@@Mrhullsie2 So you gotta open the can normally first anyway?

Your drink can opener is a cheap knockoff of the Draft top which was a Kickstarter twice - I have both versions they work really well the new cheaper version works better but doesn't look quite so nice. I have the sponge soap dispenser too and it worked out of the box, looks like you got a dud.

Any longer video would not play, so when I found MyVirgin Kitchen and Barry's uplifting, usually short videos, I instantly got addicted ☺️ Thank you Barry and Barry Family for helping me cope at the time!!! And I also love how your channel developed 👍❤️

The jar lid opener reminds me of kinds of oil filter wrenches, I wonder if this is a multi-purpose product? 🤔😂

[@ellenbarden2361]

Been having a 'barrothon', and rewatched this episode. I've just seen the first sealer. The reason why it didn't work was he had the batteries the same way rather than alternate ways!

i dont get the soft drink opener. why would you even want to take off the entire top and leave a massive sharp rim and lose the structural integrity of the can?

[@CookingWithCows]

because people will buy everything that you advertise to them.

[@andhieyusuf7008]

from the Freakin' Review's channel, it's supposed to be specialized for beer enthusiast, those who like enjoying the aroma of a beer. But in the same review he found it solve problem that didn't exist since you can just pour your beer into a glass

[@ScarfmonsterWR]

@@andhieyusuf7008 The thing is, after cutting the top of the can off like that you'll end up with a blade-sharp rim. It's just a safety hazard.

@@ScarfmonsterWR watch Freakin Reviews video, it doesn't leave an edge. Still a garbage product though.

I’ve got an easy hack for opening jars. Just take a rubber glove that you wash dishes with. Grab it and cover lid and turn. Easy! I have arthritis and can open any lid on my own using the glove. Love, love, love your videos. You bring me so much joy with your silliness. ❤️

I still love the jar key you tested on another previous video. I love it, it’s so useful and helpful for me with some of my physical limitations.

[@1Raychoo]

With the soap one, you might need to press onto the little circle where the soap comes up. I use something similar in the salon and if you don't fully cover the little circle bit when pressing down it won't bring any liquid up. Hope that description made sense!

[@anna_bandana]

Yeh I saw another video with someone testing the washing up liquid gadget and it worked. I think you might be right about covering that area it creates a vacuum to get the soap to the top!

[@1Raychoo]

@@anna_bandana thats the word I was looking for!! Creates a vacuum, its a nightmare sometimes doing it but works well

[@anna_bandana]

Rachael Stewart yeh it looks cool although I don’t know if in the long run you’d end up using more soap. Because if I’m washing up I’d put a drop of it in water and that would usually do all the dishes but if it’s only on the sponge would you have to keep going back for more? I don’t have one so I don’t know but just a thought I had. Lol

[@meen8735]

Barry, what I think for the soap dispenser is that you have to make a watery soap mixture of water and the soap gel(1:1). Because if its too thick the suction couldnt get the soap go up.

[@PsylomeAlpha]

You don't want to water down any sort of liquid soaps they're generally designed to be activated upon contact with water, so they have far less effect especially when it comes to sanitization if you've watered them down

[@Zakamooza]

I had the original actifry, unfortunately after about a year of use the paddle seemed to start destroying the food. Chips were often crispy potato dust. Will have to see if they've improved the paddle. Best thing in an air fryer. Sweet potatoes covered in sweet paprika and onion powder. Lush!!

[@littlebluepanda394]

I had the exact same problem - I actually tried samosas and they ended up smeared around the fryer in a smushy layer. Also, making roast potatoes in the Actifry took the same amount of time as doing them in the oven, so it hasn't been used in about three years.

[@Matt19matt19]

You can get replacement paddles and pans. I'm assuming it's the coating becoming less non stick. I found a new paddle and pan pretty cheap. It was like new then. Overall its easily the best air fryer and the paddle is very useful.

[@korohacker]

Yup, cans from Great Britain, the US and Australia have a narrower top and a thicker wall, while cans in some Asian countries have a wider top and thinner wall. I believe the gadget is for the latter mostly, since the look and construction of it screams made in China
