[@Hambone4815]

Do you not have a funnel?

[@EdHadder]

I love your videos and channel 🤩🤩

[@camilleosoba3981]

For putting solids into the dressing bottle, I suggest another hot new revolutionary gadget: the funnel

[@TamarLitvot]

Works well for liquids and dry ingredients, but chopped veggies are likely to stick and clog up the narrow part. Still, it would be easier to push through as much as possible, and then rinse the rest out of the funnel rather than having to clean up the whole counter.

[@camilleosoba3981]

@@TamarLitvot depends really, I have a few funnels in my kitchen, including a brewing one with a thicker spout!

[@PsychGirlRaven]

Well that’s an awful suggestion. It tunnels and clogs at the narrowing.

[@squiddybilly]

Or even just a table knife to scoop up the ingredient and slide channel it into the bottle.

[@PsychGirlRaven]

Meh, the bottom clogged.

[@froonamission1013]

I learned about 2 products from this series that I bought for my mother who has arthritis in her hands: The button press jar opener and the button press can opener that both just sit on top of the container and do the work after you press a button. They have been game changers for her! Thank you

[@WaDarkPhoenix]

Barry: Oh wow, its like a little silicone egg slide! Also barry: *drops egg into poacher from a foot up*

[@Pythonaria]

A funnel would help with filling the salad bottle. As for the cupcake filler, get a set of 3 varying size ice cream scoops. That's what I use. I use the big one for the large cupcakes, medium one for fairycakes and the smallest is great for making biscuits.

[@jacolinelankamp1752]

I was thinking the same thing about the funnel. And I always use an ice cream scoop when making cupcakes

[@iwinrar5207]

@@jacolinelankamp1752 look at fancy pants here with a scoop made just for ice cream.

[@squiddybilly]

Yes, I've got one of those ice cream scoops with the little curved arm inside it that sweeps back and forth to help release the contents. It's also good for meatballs so you get a consistent size.

[@ASMRaphael]

The microwave grilling machine looks absolutely amazing and does the job! :) So many fast meals can be done thanks to it - amazing! :)

Barry on the mandoline : ‘it sort of works, but it’s dangerous’. Perfectly sums up every mandoline ever made. Except the musical ones. I think they’re fairly safe 😉

[@ladyasriel7874]

I just bought that Joseph kitchen roll holder last week! 🤣 I love it, mainly as it’s husband proof, stopping him tearing 3+ sheets when he just needs one! lol

[@mrbarrylewis]

Yeah we've been using it a week now and it really helps portion control the kitchen towel

[@smokeydoke100]

I don't understand the appeal. You'll still need to use both hands to tear off a towel with either holder. Aside from aesthetics, what's the point?

[@rolfs2165]

@@smokeydoke100 You can use your elbow to push it in when both your hands are dirty. Keeps the holder (and rest of the roll) clean.

With the JJ one, even if he yanks like he always does, he’s just getting a sheet, 2 at most. I’ve definitely been going through a lot less kitchen paper thanks to it. And yes it’s aesthetically pleasing too, which is a bonus.

[@anew742]

Pleasantly surprised by that microwave grill; that chicken turned out great!

[@mrbarrylewis]

[@robbiemer8178]

As usual, this was fun to watch, thanks! I think I like the kitchen towel holder the best of these as well. Mandolines are just scary to use but that one seems ok, I am not sure what "problem" the egg poacher is trying to fix, the cup cake scoop is pretty useless I think and looks like it would be messier to use and harder to clean, the salad dressing bottle is quite handy and while the concept isn't new(we had one in our kitchen when I was a kid in the 60s) it is a good idea limited slightly by whether or not you like the recipes on the bottle.

[@FranuxuMusic12]

i used to be obsessed with these videos and somehow stopped watching for more than a year and now im back, love to see you again barry!

[@nicolebarnard842]

I use an ice cream scoop that has the squeeze release to fill cupcake liners. Works great for consistent sized cupcakes and reduces mess.

[@sallyaitken4254]

I have a different brand of the kitchen roll holder but same concept and i love it as if i had a dirty or wet hand i can use my elbow to push the device down

[@grammaurai6843]

I just bought a one-handed kitchen towel holder, it has a slight resistance so you can tear with one hand. Really useful when you're cooking chicken or raw meat and don't want to touch anything!

[@MrMartinSchou]

Mandolins are one of those things that are fantastic but also incredibly terrifying. And I'm yet to find one that can get me all the way through most vegetables without leaving a lump at the end that I'm too scared to push through.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Agreed, pushing your hand towards a blade is not nice, the cut gloves deffo help, but I think I am more cautious because i've been nipped in the past and it hurt like heck

[@TamarLitvot]

I’ve been wanting to get one but after watching Barry, I think I’ll put a hold on that plan.

[@cggc9510]

I sliced the side of my pinkie off with a mandolin. I was slicing eggplant. I have flashbacks to when that happened. I got his prep kit and the glove is the best. But still, always use the little safety hat that comes with the mandolin.

[@FoxFireNaruto]

It would probably be best to just find a different use for the last bits. Stock maybe?

[@Bbistheman_]

Most that I've seen have quite large hand guards

[@Moonchevre]

That kitchen towel thing is genius especially when your hands are wet. Touching the top of the roll just to tear it wets the whole thing.

[@reannebriggs7416]

Next project video is Barry actually making a leather jacket out of an aubergine 😂

[@Dubbelmums]

😂😂😂😂

[@missyvanwinkle9247]

The gloves are THE BEST. I would never use a mandolin without them. THE BEST!!

[@mscherrybomb96]

I grew up with a salad dressing bottle that had the recipe for Italian dressing it was great! It was a little more old school that this one but we used it all the time!

[@tatif1.885]

I love your kitchen gadgets videos! 😃 I recently bought the exact same microwave grill and egg poacher. Both work great! Just as with normal poached eggs, the egg poacher works best with super fresh eggs, but if they are not as fresh this gadget actually helps keep the egg white together. 😁

[@angellynn7150]

Can we count how many times Barry says Genuinely lol! I love that microwave grill that would be fantastic to have for a single person and they do make big funnels that would work for the “bottle” lol. As always enjoyed the video thank you

[@lisam2537]

Love gadget videos!!!! I think the salad dressing bottle should include a funnel that fits into the opening. The mandolin I agree needs a better holder. I use the mandolin and holder from your chopping set often and it feels very safe!!!

[@mrbarrylewis]

thanks Lisa, yeah that bottle has potential to be adapted too I think with custom labels for other combos like pancake batter

[@waynehough13]

I have one of those microwave grills, I mainly use it for toasties but it’s also great at making super crispy bacon

[@mrbarrylewis]

Was really impressed by it, I was a little bit unsure but before using it, I have a microwave toastie maker, but this seemed to take it up a notch!

[@BiscuitTinOrchestra]

kitchen hack: toastie without toastie maker....... build your "toastie sandwich" and place on a dinner plate, place another dinner plate over the top (same way up), microwave till bread is sweaty and compressed (1-2 mins microwave power dependant), then grill under grill till cooked both sides.

[@erinledbetter6183]

Work break and I get to watch more gadgets!!! So excited :D

[@OverlordMaggie]

If you get a clean sheet of paper, you can roll it into a makeshift single-use funnel and change the opening size - would help for things like filling that salad dressing bottle, and you recycle it after. There are canning funnels too but they're fixed size.

[@williambarrett9723]

with regard to the Joseph Joseph Mandoline , I have an "OXO" version which I find superb , fewer bells and whistles than that one , but really good

[@AsymptoteInverse]

That was a nice little line-up of gadgets! While I always enjoy the sillier and more gimmicky ones, it's also nice to see a set that's fit for purpose. The bottle-thing and the paper-towel holder are especially clever.

[@Aevilbeast]

Same her Barry, Foo Fighter is my favorite band as well! They are just legends and have created so many timeless classics. Their music is like the soundtrack of my youth! Plus Dan Grohl is just the man and a genuine musical genius! It was so sad to hear about the recent death of their drummer Taylor Hawkins. Such an horrible loss, I really feel for all his family and friends. He may be gone now, but the mark and all of the accomplishments he's made in music playing with bands like the Foo Fighters and various others, and all of the people his music has touched, will never be forgotten and will continue to live on!

[@FflawedMetalhead]

I love the idea of that paper towel dispenser - It still takes two hands to rip the sheet off, so there's literally no problem solved, but it really does seem genius.

[@Geeky_Zebra]

I used to have a Lekue microwave grill, I found the sides really difficult to close (I have weak hands), and the sides weren't deep enough so things like cheese from a toastie would spill really easily. But the worst bit was when the red rubber part caught fire/burnt one time I was heating it up. According to their customer services it was because I hadn't got it 100% dry last time I had washed it and it only needed the tiniest bit of water to be trapped under the seal for it to burn the rubber. It's a great product in theory but my experience wasn't great.

[@TracyLynnAP]

Thank you for the information. I was thinking for my kids ( older kids that is) but I think maybe not.

[@imjustsaying7300]

[@melinaz3385]

question (idea) on the grill mate for the microwave. If you are heating it up, is it necessary to use the silicone clamps at the start, after all you would get the plates hot first then the need to put the clamps on for holding the food close to the grill lines second. Also, what is the power of the microwave, and would it work with one that has half the power?

[@trudiethomas656]

Glad you never disappointed by having the egg gadget. Wonder how many you have done?

[@johannesofie777]

The handle for the mandolin is there for the last centimeters, not a whole carrot. It's ok on the whole radish, but wait to use the handle until the thing is close to the mandolin.

OXO do a great salad dressing maker/shaker with a much wider opening and a clever stopper/pourer mechanism. The kitchen towel holder is mince, particularly as I use jumbo rolls which wouldn't work on it, but why pay money for a solution to not really a problem?

About the first gadget, my mother had something that is safer and quicker, though it needs more time to clean.

Aww I want to reach in there and hug Boston!! Im thinking one of those cutting boards you can fold up, you must have tested it...? Then you can pour down into that bottle. But not everyone have one so that makes the bottle useless! We dont even have a cutting board, it's a pull out drawer in the kitchen were we rent now! So I would have to have a cutting board on top of that to use that bottle thing! My take on the cupcake thing: I might be very pedantic now, but, it was CALLED a cupcake scoop? Not a muffin scoop? Having all the space left in the cupcake paper, makes room for loads of frosting, but will that make it less messy? I really dont like that type of cake so I dont really eat it, but I remember getting frosting on my fingers. So one scoop pr paper means this thing is ACTUALLY doing a better job in making a mess free cake?
