My Virgin Kitchen is a KZbin cooking channel created when I wanted to teach myself how to cook and create a video diary of the journey / mrbarrylewis . I have never had a professional lesson & am just your every day chap attempting recipes to inspire you guys to try too. I upload 2 recipe videos per week, but some fun is had too on Sunday when it is Funday where anything goes....including giant foods, mini foods, taste testing foods sent from around the World, kitchen gadget testing and many more. Any requests for recipes / cool stuff you've seen let me know! I try my best to reply to as many comments as possible, but it is hard to as I am busy working on the next video, but please interact with eachother and be respectful :-) #barrylewis #kitchengadget #gadgets

[@jennmac85]

I spent the weekend in the hospital and fell down a My Virgin Kitchen Wormhole! It really cheered me up! Thanks guys! You always crack me up!

[@KingHenryVR4]

yeah Barry them lids on the jars are used for canning purposes, you usually either just take your hot liquid or whatever you fill them with an put the lid on an let it sit out at room temperature an the jar will seal itself, or you can take an put it in whats called a water bath for how ever many minutes an then just turn the heat off an let them sit in the water an they will seal, when I make my jalapeno pickles though I always just take the hot jar of them an put in the fridge overnight an it also seals.

My Virgin Kitchen can you beleive you've been in the barn kitchen for a month ?!! Love your vids

[@chelsey8737]

Becky is so humble. She laughs at herself all the time and takes Barry's ribbing with a smile. I love it

[@aljr357]

Well the best thing about this video is seeing how happy the two of you are as a couple and how much fun you guys had in this video.

[@bluesun4682]

I love watching the evolution of Mrs B, from “I don’t really want to be here” to “I’m the star of this show”

[@brianartillery]

"Rosemary... is quite a butch herb..." A sentence never before uttered. This video has made me cry with laughter. Nice one!

[@dipalipatel958]

Barry’s extra cute and silly when he’s tipsy lol

[@shirleycastle5170]

That is the longest lasting lolly ever

[@floyd75dylan]

Now that’s the type of videos we love. It’s funny, natural, the two of you have excellent chemistry on camera, drunk Barry is always a bonus. We do need to see the outtakes for this video though, the views for that would go through the roof.

[@nancyware7282]

The lid of the mason jar is in two pieces for two reasons. The outer ring is there to hold the flat lid in place during the canning process. Once the process is complete, you can remove the ring and store the jar without it, freeing the ring up to use on another jar. However, if the food in the jar will not be used all at once (such as jam), you will need a ring to hold the lid in place as long as there is still food in the jar. i personally prefer to keep the ring on the jar while storing it to help prevent damage to the lip of the jar, as one with a crack or chip must not be used for food preservation. Secondly. it is cheaper and easier to manufacture the flat lid, thus making it less expensive for the home canner to use, as the lids are a one-time use only item. The rings may be used again and again as long as they are not rusted or dented. Cheers!

[@chelsey8737]

Hey this is cool. Thanks for the mini wikipedia article

[@CraftyLoops]

You needed less cream in the jar and much, much more shaking, lol. This is how my Aunt does her whipped cream. Thankfully she has plenty of nieces and nephews to use as "cream whippers", lol. We all handed the jar onto the next cousin when our arms got tired. But you do need to shake it for a good 15 mins straight. Lee :)

[@brittenyslyparry7642]

How cute are you 2 together. It looked like you were having fun.

[@JackBealeGuitar]

Chivalry is dead, hold your own lolly Barry

[@Wheatexe]

If you shake the double cream a bit longer you get a block of butter

You guys are adorable! I love all the little silly bloopers you keep in the videos, makes it much more fun to watch.

[@baileyhannah1557]

Marriage at its finest

[@1addition1subtraction]

Barry you need to do a blooper video from the videos with the kids and Becky 😂 It would make everyone laugh so much

[@annettefournier9655]

The cream works better in a larger jar to let more room for air to be shaken in. The jar should be only 1/4-1/3 full of cream. A whisk definitely works better. Great fun you guys 😆😆😆

[@thegoodbyegirl27]

annette fournier exactly and if you keep going up make butter

[@2134580]

i literally shake the cream in a tub all the time when i either need a small bit, or im too lazy to clean dishes lmao

[@annettefournier9655]

Candice Mae 😂😂

[@SlowJazz99]

I just know you have to shake the shee i eet out of it.

[@MsKestrela]

As an ardent home-canner, Mason jars are my stock in trade. The threadless inner lid seals to the rim of the jar under heat. The threaded ring holds the lid in place during the process (either boiling water bath or pressure canning). Once the jars have cooled to room temperature, the ring is removed, and the lid will have suctioned onto the rim of the jar, blocking out oxidizing air. Food preservation at its finest!

[@neoandlykkecat]

That jar takes me back to when I was in kindergarden. We used to do that before christmas every year. Thanks for reminding me of that! Hugs from Norway.

[@CommonOddity_]

I have successfully done the cream to whipped cream hack before. I did use a lot less cream at the time so that I had more "air space" so it would fluff up faster. I actually used to pretend to be a bartender and do this but with some dish soap plus a splash of water when I was younger. Shake it so well that it would be a thick soapy foam!

[@GriffandZeus]

I agree with Mrs.Barry regarding the ice lolly hack, although used to prevent drippage, it would be used when the lolly is being eaten.

[@rdmfeyna-sleep]

For the garlic- it works, AND if you get a three pack from Aldi or wherever, you can pulse that in your processor, pop the granules into small ice cube trays, and make yourself some super easy garlic cubes for cooking later.

[@letsjustpretend1]

For the cupcake hack, baking in a cupcake tin will keep the sides of the cupcakes cleaner :) The tin will have marshmallow on it though so...dunno which mess you'd prefer to deal with (x

[@AngelaJeanBarr]

I'm having an afternoon Mrs Barry-thon here in Niagara Falls Ontario Canada! You are both adorable and hilarious!

[@specterHSC]

You should try the garlic shaking hack with a glass jar and metal lid. It works much better with a lot less shaking needed.

[@GombasGirl]

You were only missing one step for the whipped cream. We used to do the same thing but to make butter. You add a marble when you shake it to help it stick together

[@shandrabrooks6431]

Fold in the sugar and vanilla towards the end of making the whipped cream. If you do this for longer you can make your own butter. It’s quite tasty.

[@taylorcarter831]

"My point is it ain't parsley" Yeah you tell her Barry 😉😂

[@wildfirehart314]

I love them together. Thank you for brightening my day.

[@iamdb1990]

hope Mrs Barry gets paid for her important role as lolly holder in this lol

[@goodolddoug889]

I was so confused by the whipped cream trick. lol I made whipped cream almost daily when I worked in a hotel kitchen, and it was always just 18-20% cream with white refined sugar and vanilla extract whisked in a bowl. I mastered that to the point where it was basically a lovely airy vanilla ice cream every time, and now anything like Cool Whip is just blah. The shaking trick seems like even more work than just breaking out a whisk, electric or manual, and mixing it all up. You can always re-whisk for at least a day or two from storage in a fridge if you're not entertaining. Anyway, you and your wife are just delightful to watch, and you've been reminding me of how much fun and how inspiring cooking can be. :)

[@lunastar9086]

One of my favorite hack videos yet. All the laughter, thanks Berry family!

[@saraholmes4098]

For Holidays with my family we make butter using a mason jar anf Heavy cream and all the kids have to shake it until their arms get tired then pass it to the next and so on until it turns to butter. Then we use that with our dinner. It's a lot of fun and the kids stay busy and out of our way in the kitchen.

[@markchapman6800]

I have a gigantic rosemary bush in my backyard (there were three crimson rosellas in it the other day, nibbling the flowers) and will definitely try using some twigs as skewers.

[@shitalya1]

I'm totally in love with Mrs. Barry! She makes this video more funny and charming! We absolutely need more videos with "Mr and Mrs Barry"!

[@psycobasschick]

We use the mason jar thing to make butter for the kids at school. You have to shake it for a good 5min to get to the whipped cream state. About 8-10min to get butter. Season accordingly for what you are going for

[@infomajal]

Good to see u back after days..

[@ioan1934]

HI BARRY & BECKY DEBBIE HERE FROM S WALES If you shake the double cream in the jar foring enough it will turn to butter and you will be kept with buttermilk in the bottom of the jar. Alternatively if you whisk it for long enough it will also turn to butter with the residue of buttermilk. With the butter you can then add salt to it to your own liking.

[@deborahwashington4469]

My favorite video so far... Why? Mrs Barry shaking the garlic! Hilarious!

[@prizegotti]

You gotta shake the cream a lot harder and a lot longer than that, but don't go too far or you'll make butter.

[@sixgunsam79]

The whipped cream trick does work. It just takes a bit of time. If you keep going after the whipped cream, you can get butter and a little buttermilk to go with breakfast. We always have heavy cream in the house for my wifes coffee, so if we run out of butter, I just shake like hell and make enough until the next day. (The whipped cream is good too, just don't shake as long). Cheers

[@perpetuallyconfused6608]

Eating the lolly should help it melt faster 😂

[@callumbyrne3692]

At one point Barry literally danced like mick jagger

[@rgriff000]

For the whip cream hack eliminate the sugar, only fill the jar a quarter of the way and let the cream come to room temperature for about 45 min. Also once it turns to whip cream if you keep shaking you will get butter

[@morganmariex]

Just a tip for peeling hard boiled eggs. After they're done cooking lightly tap each egg so the shell has a crack in it, and then have them sit in an ice water bath to cool off. Water will get in through the crack and under the shell and make it peel off super easily.

[@keetrandling4530]

Why mason jar lids are in two parts (lid & ring) : The ring is only used to hold the lid on until it properly seals (consult any canning instructions), then you remove the ring until you open the jar to use the contents, at which time you can use the ring again (keeping your jar in the fridge at this point) .

[@annemarijt2858]

I love the two of you together!! They are such couple goals!!

[@nickarmitt4722]

this is the best video! Mrs Barry is so funny!

[@MendhiSensations]

I’ve been doing the garlic hack for a couple of years now with a very small container. Works like a charm! Im going to give the egg hack a good try.

[@skyqueen3]

The ice lolly thing is good for those of us in Australia, it's almost Summer here. ^_^ You two are so adorable. :)

[@Katy_Bug89]

Love you both. Amazing video!

[@rubymimosa]

Hacking while tipped, y’all are cute! With the whipping cream hack my experience leads me to believe your jar needed to be twice as big, or only fill whichever jar to halfway

[@carlosr5918.]

Her face when he said you can get Rosemary and wack it on the meat😂😂😂😂 I lost it

[@tinycosmicstar]

I always love the videos with Mrs Barry and well all the videos tbh lol

[@frankiesmom3019]

I've done butter with whipping cream the same way you tried to do the whipped cream. I just poured whipping cream into a glass jar and shook it. At first it does make whipped cream. Maybe you added the sugar too soon and the emulsion couldn't happen? But if you try it again, don't shake too long because you'll get butter! Good luck! Edit: you do have to shake the jar for quite a while.

[@brianm6337]

You can make butter with heavy whipping cream and a jar as well. I do know it works, I made my own more than once (involves vigorous shaking of the jar. Expect a workout). Just fill a jar half full, add a little salt- or wait till near the end, and proceed to shake your arms off. Pour off the buttermilk as you go along, or you get a sloppy mess.

[@vickykowalczyk8278]

Depends on how long you shook the jar as well. I know when I’ve had to do that in a pinch it takes absolute ages! I’ve had to work at it for 15-20 minutes before getting cream!

[@misskarla1377]

Even better than the Mason jar for whipping cream or making butter is using a water bottle with ribbed sides. That gives the cream extra friction and whips it more nicely. With a Mason jar, it is easier to shake it into butter. You don't need to add ice, the butterfat will separate on its own while you are shaking, and your cream will 'whip' better if you get it started thickening before you add your sugar. And remember, if you over shake it like you did the garlic and the eggs, you will have butter.

[@tendersheep667]

Mrs. Barry I have that exact same shirt! So adorable!

[@navcissus]

My favourite hack of the video is having fun with your spouse 😂😍 you guys give me so much hope in a world of people comparing marriage to being imprisoned

[@intonationsensation6291]

Hallo! I just discovered this channel recently and then have been entirely too much time watching this since then! I really used to like cooking and watching this has made me start cooking again! I was wondering as a playlist idea: I'm going to uni next year and it would be cool if you could do a playlist of easy cheap things that you could cook on student funds! As most students seem to live off noodles and slowly die of malnourishment.

[@originallyalice]

Would love to see a colander with you two and Hannah Hart! Would be so funny. My drunk virgin kitchen! 😂

[@LuckyNiffler]

Agreed. I've been thinking the same myself.

[@Catstimesinfinity]

Just letting you know, you put last video's description on this video's description. "In this video we are testing out slicing a mango into even squares, pancake batter with used bottles, squeezing a lemon with tongs, lazy hot chocolate with truffles & using an iron to make a panini" :)

[@mrs.thomas-usmcwife5686]

That marshmallow icing trick would be great with chocolate cupcakes and then put some graham crackers on top for a S'mores cupcake.

[@pandastudios2815]

Came straight from Instagram So happy!!😊

[@demigough7934]

You guys are seriously marriage goals ❤

[@iPlayiOS]

Awesome video yet again Barry. My favourite is definitely the Rosemary skewer. So simple, but knowing how far a small thing like Rosemary can go, definitely my favourite out of all of these. The popsicle one was also very nostalgic as I remember that as a kid and knew what was about to happen (like Mrs. Barry was) Your videos are always great and most importantly unique. You just give off a great, honest, fun feel in your videos. :) Hello from Canada btw. :)

[@mrbarrylewis]

+iPlayiOS thankyou

[@lulugregory3246]

Loved this video... felt like real vintage MVK ❤️

[@oddpumpkin102]

I love these hack videos, i think the cream one needs shacking a lot longer, just keep going it will happen. I find it easier to use a mixer (if you have one) but this is the same process for icecream making in one o those kids cups. A hack I use is using a hand mixer to mash potatoes instead of a masher, less middle n less lumps 👍🏻

[@Yourworstnightmare0324]

You have to shake the heavy cream longer. I made homemade butter and homemade whipped cream all the time. (Butter takes longer to make, btw)

[@shirleycastle5170]

Thanks for the laughs. Great fun 2 watch your videos for sure.

[@tore650]

Both the "shake" hacks for the garlic and the egg works a lot better with a mason jar, one egg at a time with some water in it and you'll have the shell off in like 5 shakes. For the garlic you don't have to peal it at all, if the jar is big enough just pop the whole thing in there and give it like 5-10 seconds of hard shaking and you'll have them all pealed. Also for the cream, you didn't shake it nearly long or hard enough (based on the video anyway) it takes a good 1 minute of shaking. Also you can be a bit cheeky and put something in there to add resistance. The spiral from a whisk will do.

[@andreachard276]

Awwww I love watching these videos, you both have so much fun together. Oh and fab dancing guys. 😂🤣

[@JonGilb]

More Mr and Mrs Barry. I laughed loads.

[@tazbig]

the seal on a mason jar is to be thrown away after being used once for canning. the rubber ring becomes deformed. it can be used for other things (scrapping)but not canning again. the ring is reusable for many times. we can hunreds of jars of veggies and furits a year.

[@VinnytotheK]

Thanks for uploading this right before I go to bed Barry! Don't you know I have to get up in 3 hours?!

[@VinnytotheK]

Well that was uncalled for...

[@WoodieW]

Well, its a beatiful November morning in europe and considering he's in the UK, he uploaded around 10am. perfect view for breakfast.

[@tinycosmicstar]

Sarcasm people. I’m sure s/he was only joking.

[@ryanflores2489]

Loll. u going to bed while I just woke up to very very high winds pushing my windows in NY

[@VinnytotheK]

Dang I heard it's gonna be very windy lol. I'm heading up toward NY to go snowboarding today. (That's why I had to get up so early.)

[@charlockprime]

Drunk Barry is awesome.

[@kells629]

The ring comes off the jar once it is sealed because your not supposed to store the canned food with the ring on in order to check the seal 😊

[@racheleanne9726]

The cream hack seems like it makes it harder than just using a whisk haha!

[@adora022]

I HAVE ACTUALLY NEVER EVER CLICKED SO FAST IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!! I ALWAYS SCROLL ALONG THE WHOLE PAGE BUT MY FINGER JUST CLICKED THIS VIDEO BY ITSELF!!! WOW this is literally the funniest video I have ever seen on KZbin! Like absolutely ever

[@tanyasawhney4322]

[@CynicismForAll]

As usual, loved the vid. But Barry, it's a garlic BULB, not a clove. The cloves are the little bits in the bulb that you have to peel.

[@jjs9672]

So early, so worth it. Sure this will be a stonkin video! Thanks barry!

[@henriettalowe4689]

The cupcake sleeve is to collect the drip not to prevent it from melting I believe.

[@aljr357]

You put a little bit too much cream in the mason jar but what I do is put a plastic ball that is actually made to put in the mason jar along with the cream and it whips the cream really fast.

[@keetrandling4530]

Why the tops of canning jars are in two parts (lids & rings): The ring is only used to hold the lid on when it's loose (before sealing & after opening). Rings can be reused, lids cannot. Reduces waste and saves money, because you don't toss out the used rings, you sterilize and reuse them. You did know that, after the processed (canned, sealed) jars have cooled down you're supposed to remove the rings, until you open a jar.

[@junkmalme]

Apologies if this has been said, but I didn't see it in comments. On mason jars, the lid is a consumable, while the rest is reusable. The lid creates an airtight seal for jarring and preserving foods. If you think of all the food items available in a can of jar currently, they were originally all stored long term in airtight jars through various canning techniques. Some people still do this today. While I'd like to get into more, I pickle jalapenos and cucumbers.

[@Datascroller]

Love it as always! :)

[@raydenlord]

The whipped cream thing will work, but you have to shake it for like half an hour or more. It's really not worth it unless you're just wanting the extra exercise. You can whip it faster by hand just using a whisk.

[@strangeanimal08]

I remember in school we actually made butter from shaking a little bit of cream in a jar

[@punkcandy07]

You need to leave the cream out at room temp for an hour before you shake.

[@angelsinthewindow]

To make actual whip cream, you need to probably shake it for much longer then you did. It's very similar to making butter but you have to make sure not to go as far as to make butter.
