Mrs Barry is now salt bae "b"

[@skyandropoulos2305]

Hey Barry, could you recommend a really good can opener? I looked on Amazon, but reading the reviews is so frustrating, between that and Googling the best rated can openers I feel like I'm going in circles.

[@ttomkins4867]

No need to use/waste bread. Get a terracotta stone (aka brown sugar saver), soak for 5-30min (depends on size of stone), pat dry, and place in container. It will soften the cookies just like the bread, but is reusable.

[@georgiadreamingbb1245]

I love that Mrs.B has gotten more comfortable and takes the lead. It is nice to see her shine on these episodes.

[@laerin7931]

And she also seems to be better at finding hacks that actually work, I'm really liking these newer episodes just because of that.

[@BooDotBoo]

Yeah, she started out kind of anxious and afraid, but she's gotten so comfy and it's been nice to see.

[@mikehunt5400]

she seems like she's in an abusive marriage

[@oakjcreative]

Mike Hunt pretty bold statement to make for someone you know nothing about

[@AnjaKestrel]

Yeaaah i adore her cuteness

[@corsaircarl9582]

These two are seriously relationship goals...

[@musachi5999]

Corsair Carl 100% agree

[@Snoopy101a]

The butter trick, you want to use really hot water to warm up the glass to radiate heat and soften the butter.

[@1genevieve2]

@ Snoopy101x - exactly! I've found that having your glass of water *almost* boiling is much more effective than just warm or tepid. It's great for softening ½ cup butter for baking,etc., but if you don't want the entire piece of butter too soft, just leave the *hot* glass over the butter for, perhaps, 10 - 15 seconds...or a little longer. Then you can just 'scrape' your very softened butter with no problem...or like the saying goes (lol) "like a hot knife through cold butter"!! :-D

[@timfrey2358]

I live in the desert so I just cover the bowl with plastic or a silicone top and set it outside in the sunlight for 3 minutes.

What if you used a glass straight out of the dishwasher cause they tend to be fairly hot?

I love the hacks, but tbh I watch to live vicariously through your relationship, lol. You two are SO cute together!

[@yaffacake22]

10:40 "push! You can see it's head" 😂😂 too many delivery room horrors for Barry

[@kennedyritchie8682]

Bread has a higher moisture content, and when placed in with the cookies it needs to go to equilibrium. That's why the bread gets hard and the cookies get soft!

[@Shaboigan]

For the colander trick with the rosemary, you just need to feed the rosemary through the hole in the opposite direction and it works fine

[@LelouchxSuzakufan]

Started watching these hack videos and some of the gadget videos at 10:00 last night and stayed up all night watching them. It’s almost 1:00 in the afternoon, LOL. Gonna go take a 30 minute nap and then TRY 2 stay up until 8:00 pm 2night. Wish me luck!

[@angelsinthewindow]

It's amazing watching you two work together. Relationship goals!

[@ledzepgirlnmful]

I love it when you two do videos together....so much fun to watch!! 🤣😘

[@brandyfreeman4098]

I love rewatching all these videos. Just love you two together ❤️. I can't believe I didn't think to mention this last time I watched but here it's now for whatever it's worth. If you're ever having trouble holding a Ziploc bag open while filling it, don't worry there's a "hack" for that. Place the Ziploc bag down inside a pitcher. Roll the top of the Ziploc down over the top of the pitcher. Fill your bag & then pull it out of the pitcher to mix, seal (ba-yah 🎶), etc.

[@WhatsForTea]

That bread though! :)

[@Gunspud]

I love it when you and Mrs B do vids together, bright cheery and fun.

[@TehAwkw0rdGam3r]

Mrs. B''s adorable reaction to the bread/cookie thing ... love it

You two are such a source of light! Thank you guys for making these really fun and goofy videos! Keeping the smile on my face during this hard time. I hope you two and the kids are happy and healthy!

[@CartB0X]

Had a heap of videos to watch in my subscriptions but definitely had to click this one first! Love your back videos with Mrs Barry!

[@dinkelous]

"wait 2 minutes to warm the glass up then put it over the butter for 5 minutes" just pop the butter in the mic for 10 seconds lol

[@Malandrin]

no everyone has a mic

[@hamzasultan96]

@@Malandrin By this decade, I'm guessing if you don't have a microwave, you don't have access to a quick source of hot water, so, you're looking at boiling water on the stove with the glass in there..... at that point, just rub your hands together, put plastic gloves on and grip the butter tightly.

[@attiasprouse682]

Hamza Sultan This is false. There are homes who elect not to have a microwave.

[@Tarunia]

@@hamzasultan96 I don't like the taste and consistency of microwaved food and I would never buy one, totally unnecessary thing in a kitchen where people know how to cook properly

Becky's face at 1:30 when you said 'if you're that way inclined' was priceless. A worried kind of 'what on earth is he going to say' look

[@maryHK852]

I was so happy when Becky clapped in the intro ❤️

[@iamdb1990]

12:30 the most wholesome minute ever, more Mrs Barry!

[@Honkey-Donkey]

We would never find cookies in Grandma's or mom's cookie jar without a slice of bread to help keep them fresh. Same in my household. I thought everyone did it, lol.

[@xdevilxbabex2003]

@Josh mams*

[@timfrey2358]

I always used it for brown sugar that went too hard, but chocolate chip cookies do have brown sugar, maybe that's why.

[@FC360D]

I have holes at the end of breads quite regularly so that triangle is a common thing to me

[@erwa9429]

The "Salt bae" bit had me rolling off my bed😂😂😂.. Your videos are always so entertaining, Barry... informative/helpfull too.

[@RyuRaeArashi]

Easiest way to make spreadable butter straight out of the fridge is just to put what you want to use in a little bowl and smoosh it with a knife/spoon/whatever. As soon as you smoosh butter a bit it becomes really easy to spread. Same tip for any baking you need soft butter but not melted, put your butter in a zip bag and use a rolling pin to smoosh it out and it'll very quickly be soft.

[@voodoopunchie5519]

Aww Mrs. B is lovely, very funny and warm! The bread thing works great with cakes, my mum taught me that one when I was small. ☺

[@ThaPinguin]

For the butter softening hack if you microwave a cup of water so the cup gets hot and not just warm it will soften it much more.

[@iamdb1990]

23:15 aw, happy Phoebe, love it

I love you too. Mrs. B's reaction to the cookie hack was priceless.

[@judyteeter1103]

I love Mrs. B's enthusiasm!

[@gcqldrgirl]

I love mrs B's excitement.

[@EricFaries]

Also the trick with the bread is pretty simple really, the cookies being so dry soak up the moisture that's in the bread, making em chewy again. My dad and i have been doin that trick since i was a little kid and it's always helped keep cookies around for much longer.

[@Hugni81]

This was such a nice video. Loved the reaction form Mrs B and the kids. love the work.

For the omletes in a bag, we make these all the time while camping over here in the us! Top it with sausage gravy and it is SO GOOD!!!

[@Joliie]

So you use ASDA bags? on the page it has the following info: Not suitable for cooking in a conventional, combination or microwave ovens. so I am guessing you use bags rated for cooking?

[@skyandropoulos2305]

It's basically Sous Vide.

[@Joliie]

@@skyandropoulos2305 yes, but when you sous vide you dont boil the water, also I would think you would use a bag that is for heating stuff in water and not just for freezing and defrosting only

My husband discovered your channel recently and WE LOVE IT! THANKS! I HAVE TWO REQUESTS! 1. Will you compare\ contrast the cutter gadgets that have like 90 different add one for slicing, dicing, chopping, etc.? I want one but don't want to waste money! 2. How is COVID 19 affecting England?

Loving the videos Barry! Keeping me sane in lockdown! 😂 hope you all stay safe

[@UrbanHomesteadMomma]

We used to do the egg in a bag at scout camp all the time... use small freezer bags... and toss the whole bag into a larger pot with lots of water... if your pot is big enough you can do a whole bunch at a time... use regular blue pen to write people’s names along the top part where you pull it open (marker comes off in the water).

[@MattRileyCreative]

I have supported your crowdfund and can’t wait for my kitchen gadgets!!

My mom used to put an apple slice in with the hard cookies. Sometimes the cookies would go in a paper bag with bread pieces.

[@TheNinnyfee]

Barry, it is in your British genes to love burnt toast. I have been to the UK quite a bit and every toaster I encountered was set on "burnt".

[@cherylgarrett7850]

The glass on the butter thing, put the glass on top of the toaster while toasting the bread. Then put it over the butter. Been doing that for years and it works real well!

[@bearchaser67]

I use a cheese slicer for hard butter (not the one with the roller, but the one that gives you a thin sheet) works amazing :)

[@paulprice7482]

[@sacapuntasrojo]

Was waiting for this but never popped up. Glad I'm in the twitter gang!

[@LoneWombat2126]

The same thing you did with the slice of bread in with the cookies, also works to keep brown sugar from getting hard and clumps. You can just put one of the heel pieces in if you don’t like.

[@beckysherwood5144]

7:16 - can't stop watching it back 😂😂😂

[@mjc0961]

Oh, the bread in cookies thing. My grandma always did that, but just one problem: she always overbaked her cookies, and putting bread in with them does not re-soften them after they're overdone.

[@mjc0961]

13:51 - Yeah that's not even overbaked compared to my grandma. 😋

I love snap cookies, and my husband hates them. So I always make my cookies super hard, then put a few slices of bread in with the other half to make them soft.

[@workingoutslayer]

The egg hack actually works! My grandma does it all the time!

[@angelsinthewindow]

Me and my family would do those plastic bag omelettes while camping. The key I think is to use the freezer bags and to make sure the bag does not fold over.

[@Christa-tl8jb]

I always put bread in with my cookies it keeps them fresher or something. The moisture from the bread absorbs into the cookies

[@CarinaCoffee]

If you put a bit of butter on warm toast and let it sit for a moment it goes soft, too.

[@haileyroberts1103]

Just dip the cookies in milk/coffee/hot chocolate? Slightly burnt things are great, Pheebs. You did wonderfully.

[@twistyrose]

bread also is good to rehydrate brown sugar as well
