He does blush very nicely sometimes. 💖

[@chloegreenwood7787]

I love how happy you are together, relationship goals right there😭

[@claudialuviano2714]

I think those cookies would go really well to make an ice cream sandwich👍😋

[@AsymptoteInverse]

That's a fine idea!

[@lukeroberts1027]

Have a good day everyone

[@dude59900]

Luke Roberts and you

[@TryApril]

I boil my water first then put my eggs in to hard boil. The hot water makes the inside of the egg come away from them shell, kinda shock-cooking it! Works a charm for me 👌🏻

[@ionapod711]

I always got taught to poke your thumb through the center of the orange and it opens up a big hole and you peel the rest from there! No knives or sharps needed!

[@mver191]

Iona Podmore Yeah using tools seems to slow down the peeling very much + you need to get them. Much easier to use that technique.

[@spritemarie]

Tupperware orange peeler.

[@rkobewt]

I just pinch the peel with my teeth and peel from there 😂

[@rebekahmiller8937]

Iona InWonderland lol , i take my thumbnail in and twist , it makes pokadots in the orange peel

[@smithk6977]

Too funny on the egg situation😂… Good to know you both got skill😱🤣

[@davidrhys207]

*POP* WooooooooooW i think i inhaled some egg shell!!

[@yatak1000]

Such a lovely couple to watch, always peaks me up watching how great you are together =]

[@mrbarrylewis]

thankyou

[@aceenby5674]

yatak1000 I agree

[@WatchManGamer]

Barry, I believe the rotten eggs float to the top because egg shells have small holes and over time as the air goes into the egg makes it go rotten and fills the egg with air creating the floating effect. That was courtesy of my GCSE food teacher.

[@whiteedk]

WatchmanGamer the egg shrinks as it gets older, so the air cavity gets bigger because the egg is porous so the air gets inside. It's not first when it's rotten. A hot ally fresh egg lies horizontal, when it starts to get a bit older but still fully edible it stands up, when I starts to gloat upward it's bad and when it's gloating at the top it's totally rotten

[@FirstLast-wg6lq]

WatchmanGamer also decomposition forming CO2 and methane

[@joffhall81]

Almost right guys. The reason an old egg floats is due to the fact at the top of the egg there is an air pocket between the shell and the inner shell membrane. This air pocket is tiny on a fresh egg so does not effect buoyancy when placed in water. As the egg gets older more air accumulates in the air pocket due to the porous nature of the egg shell which in turn causes the egg to eventually float. This process takes approximately 4 weeks from first lay. This is not an indicator of a rotten egg but just and indicator of the egg being old. Experiments done within the egg industry (of which I used to work as a egg packer and grader) have proved age of eggs alone is not enough to turn an egg bad or rotten. They only way for an egg to go rancid is to store them upside down (pointed end up) so the air molecules that accumulate in the air pocket eventually burst the air pocket in the membrane due to building pressure and causing the air to actually be in contact with the albumen and yolk which causes the egg to go bad/rancid. Dates on eggs are nothing more than a guide and as long as they are stored correct way up and in a dark, cool, dry place (no fridges) eggs can be usable long after the 4 week use by date printed on the shell. Any old egg though are best used for baking as the white can be too watery for anything else after 4 weeks. We can go into the way the albumen breaks down on a week by week stage and the movement of the yolk within the albumen during that time if you would like but that's a lesson for another day 😂😂👍👍👍 Joff 👍👍👊👊

[@goldfishwishes]

youre exactly right :)

[@dsier]

All true. Un-washed eggs stored correctly can be edible for up to a year. Also, fresh eggs are harder to peal than eggs that are a couple of weeks old.

[@lydiagiampetro3063]

I love how much fun the two of you have.

[@megangarcia2687]

My husband loves the cake mix cookies! My favorite are lemon cake mix and dusted with powdered sugar or vanilla mix with chocolate chips!! I love your videos!!

[@neffie72]

also been wanting to mention that if the recipe says to spoon the dough or roll into balls before baking, there's no need to flatten them at all..they do it while baking. some recipes, like peanut butter cookies call for flattening with a fork, but otherwise it's just a wasted effort. :)

[@MegaLookup]

The egg blowing had me giggling so much. Thanks for the laugh guys. You made my day happier.

[@lunacraftsonline]

I use that cake mix/cookie hack all the time with the red velvet cake mix and they taste so delicious!

[@TJgrebdnul]

the oil/honey hack works great with measuring cups! any sticky liquid molasses, corn syrup, honey etc. spray the cup with oil then measure out the liquid, it comes out so much easier!

[@spaiges]

you two have so much fun together. I love it.

[@thechocobotamer6938]

I love blue corn! Instead of drying it for popcorn, I boil the fresh cob and eat it like normal yellow corn. One blue corn keeps me full all day

[@Allunastarr8]

You should do magic 3,2,1 cake. you take a box of your favorite cake mix and mix it with a box of angel food mix. Then you take 3 tbsps of the mix in a mug mixed with 2 tbsps of water and microwave for 1 minute. I usually dust mine with powdered sugar when it comes out. Kids love it.

[@rachaelharrison468]

My mum taught me to do the water hack with eggs for years! It always worked for me and i always get amazed by how cool that hack is!

[@tinawegner407]

The sprinkle cake mix makes really fun cookies for the kids, especially at school.

[@ljatwood1972]

Oh my goodness. I was laughing so hard at the orange squirt and egg blowing.

[@SharlzG]

I've made those cake mix cookies - you can also layer the powder in a jar with m&ms and use it as a gift

[@johexxkitten]

The bad egg test is great if you have your own chickens, those eggs have no date stamp, unless you bought extra special M&S chickens as they have stampers up their butt ;) there is another stage to that "hack" however: if the egg sinks and lays horizontally, it's fresh. If the egg goes vertically and floats a little, it's still good but not as fresh. Different methods of cooking work better with really fresh eggs, while others work better with slightly older eggs. (Btw older eggs are easier to peel). A really fresh egg has a thicker egg white, the slightly older egg the white will be more watery. BUT if that egg floats to the top or floats horizontally it's bad (egg shells are porous and older eggs absorb more air so they float). FYI NEVER crack a bad egg in the house, and definitely don't do what my dopey brother did. He didn't check the egg, he the didn't crack it into a bowl, the cracked it directly into a hot frying pan. Result being the entire family out on the garden puking. Mum had to wash all the curtains in the house, open all doors and windows, "do the shake n vac" a whole host of destink "hacks" (btw have you done a destiny hack? Best way to remove strong odours from the house: garlic, onions, fish etc) Our entire house was whiffy for about 3 days, the smell in the kitchen stayed nearly a week and mum binned the frying pan! Btw my knowledge of eggs comes from having a grandpa with a smallholding and I grew up with loads of animals including what seemed to be a million chucks.

[@SultryPickle]

Jo HexxKitten thank you so much for this. Drives me nuts when people don't have the correct egg information.

[@jenniferhawkins7865]

I think the "cakeys" would be great if you wanted to make ice cream sandwiches.

[@WheredoestheSPengo]

I am so glad you got Mrs.Barry to be part of the show! She is such a meme!

[@borboleta1015]

Love the two of you!! Soooo funny!! Thanks for the laughs!!

[@Telcomvic]

I love you guys! Your show is entertaining, fun and informative. I find the best way to peel eggs is to tap them on the counter a couple of times and then remove the shell under cool running water.

[@MysticJhn]

"You've got to really give it a good blow, Mrs. Barry." :D

[@mcopado]

I know I've said it before, you two are so cute in these together. Make more!!!!

[@Sweetnlow19811]

I use the honey hack all the time :) it works well for Molasses, peanut butter or any sticky liquid. You can spray measuring cups as well

[@crizzyjj]

Love you two! I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Thank you! You brightened my week.

[@suelovescats]

You two have the most lovely accents !!! I just love to hear you talk !!

[@philipd1979]

hi Barry love the kitchen hack with Mrs Barry in it, you two are so funny and work so good together. 😄😄😄😄

[@SewFrancine6120]

You make me smile. Hello from Peoria AZ in the USA.

[@genegentry9087]

you guys are just awesome....LOL the egg bit was ingenious!!

[@OceanicJones]

The reason the rotten egg floats is that there is gas buildup inside. Through natural decomposition, parts break down through decay and go through a chemical reaction that makes Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), the sulfur giving it that pungent smell we know so well. It is also why parts of sewage smells like rotten eggs and gas vents in the earth in some places with geysers (seen that first hand in iceland, smelled a bit off as you can imagine). But yeah, long story short, The rotten egg floats because its full of smelly gas.

[@jackiewinters5792]

This was hysterical! Thank you for sharing.

[@ananigma7]

Oh my gosh, im in stitches! love mr and mrs barry 😊

[@neenmach]

Best episode ever! Thanks for the laughs.

[@Aussiejayai]

I love you two that was so funny I tears in my eyes

[@ninakristina76]

I've watched the egg blowing bit so many times. It's the best ever! :-)

[@justmea8178]

Please don't let fame(because you will be quite famous), change you two! I love how you interact with each other!!!!!!😘

[@TimeForTheTest]

Those cookies would be amazing for homemade ice cream sandwiches! Totally trying that!!!

[@ItsAMbutyoutubechangedmyname]

oh my gosh you guys made me laugh so hard my son came down said mom its schoolnight I need to sleep 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MsHetha]

[@arukarinu]

I've been doing those cookies for the last couple of years and I love them so much. especially with chocolate chips

[@mua_starstabber]

Please put up some more gadget videos! I love watching them ♡

[@Betniz]

My dad is a baker and he said that he dips a spoon in flour to get syrup to slip off, I've never tried it though

[@abbebladon]

You guys are hilarious! Thanks for entertaining me! Brilliant!

[@4pThorpy]

Why the old eggs float: Eggs have a little air sack in them, when they're fresh the air sack is small, but as the egg decays, it gives off gases which fill the air sack making the eggs more buoyant. Why bi-carb might help peeling: Bi-carb is very salty, if the water has a higher salt content than the egg...osmosis occurs which forces as much water out of the egg as it can, less water in the egg means less mass and volume...which would shrink the cooked egg away from the shell. If that is the reason, I expect table salt would work better.

[@13dulcie]

I love watching the 2 of you!!❤❤

[@SlothWolfen]

i want someone who looks at me the way mrs barry looks at barry

[@LelouchxSuzakufan]

The way the egg made that pop noise afterwards is funny as hell, LOL.

[@anam.aria.]

This video was so entertaining :) thanks Barry and Mrs Barry :)

[@lorrainenichols650]

You can use the spray on the spoon for molasses also. Actually you can use that hack for any sticky ingredient you use.

[@MakeMeUpRiss]

Another new video to watch with my kids! Woohoo!

[@LetsMakeALittle]

That was the most hilarious hacks video ever! Thank you!

[@lifewithimperfections]

Oh my goodness you two cracked me up! Thank you! Love you 😘

[@Nob0dy420]

When Miss Barry squirted into Barry's eye 😂😂😂.

[@ronaldwood6040]

Hello Mr. & Mrs B! The Missus and I tried the cake cookie hack with carrot cake mix and while it wasn't as held together as yours they turned out very tasty, light and fluffy. "Stonkin" as you would say haha. Keep us the great videos and always have fun in the kitchen.

[@OfficialAuntMoose]

I've used cake mix and brownie mix in my waffle iron. So yum!

[@cyndeefreeland9407]

I am a Cub Scout den leader and I just showed my scouts the rotten egg "hack" last week! Others have already said but it's because the shell is porous and the older an egg is the more air it has absorbed through its shell which causes it to float. In America or eggs are not individually stamped with a date. So I have used this hack before when the date printed on the carton was smudged or hard to read and I couldn't remember when I bought the eggs. :)

[@xdevilxbabex2003]

''give it a good blow mrs barry!'' im dying XD hahahah

[@smurfette10111]

for the orange hack, if you cut off the top and bottom, then cut long ways from top to bottom you can then open it up and pull out the pieces. It can get a little messy but I've had the best luck with opening them that way. Love you show!! :)

[@annettefournier9655]

Use a yellow cake mix and roll 1" balls in cinnamon sugar, slightly flatten the top of the ball when placing on a baking sheet, bake and you've got great Snickerdoodles cookies! This is a great cheap alternative when butter prices get to high for you're budget😁😋😘

[@smarren]

You two are adorable! Mrs.Barry's cry for help sounded like Toad XD

[@andrewf.1598]

The cake mix cookies would be good for whoopie pies

[@roserandomde]

For hard-boiled egg peeling I do this: I drain the hot water and put cool water on the eggs on the pot, then I kinda shake the pot with the eggs and a bit of water in it. Make sure the water is cool so you don't get burnt. the eggs will crack a bit and then you can slide your finger under the shell and the sheath beneath it, so between the egg white and the shell. then you can peel off most if not all of it on one piece. it always works for me, I find that it helps to run a bit of cold water over it while you are peeling to avoid burns. Hope you use this hack!!!

[@b26430]

red velvet cake cookies with white chocolate chunks are sooo good btw

[@sindhu1203]

I love these and the gadget videos

[@Exowave1]

that egg blowing part was insanely funny! the egg went "HHHHHHHHHHHH*pop*"

[@suelovescats]

I am crying ... Mrs B was so funny lowing that’s egg out of the shell ... lolololol 🤣😂🤣

[@Amanda-mt2hx]

The egg with the bicarbonate soda does actually work, I dunno what the difference was but I put and mixed the bicarbonate soda into the water and added the usual salt to the water and then put the eggs in before turning the heat on. So the the eggs gradually were brought up to the right heat and then after they were done my mom and I took them out and put them in cold water with a bunch of ice in it. One of the eggs did explode while cooking and the bicarbonate soda actually changed the texture of the egg boiling in the water to almost a rubber texture but it didn't affect the taste of the exploded one. The ones that hadn't exploded we just rolled them on the counter to crack the shell and it peeled off soooo easy it just came of in giant chunks one of the eggs only came off in two pieces. It was great

[@thelostzelda]

Mrs Barry looks like Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor.

[@jesebsp]

bought the popcorn on the cob in the 80's. corn isn't just yellow or white. hilarious!

[@AnamFatima]

Hey Barry, for the orange, you can try going from top to bottom following the natural lines of the orange instead of all around the middle. You can also divide the orange in segments with multiple strokes around the orange.

[@blaizeharkens]

The baking soda trick works best in conjunction with piercing the large end of the eggs with a thumb tack first. I've been doing it this way for years and they peel so much easier.

[@ericatyrie1090]

I always use cake mix to make cookies! I use yellow cake mix and just add chocolate chips or m&ms. They are the best!!!

[@JillLikesCheese]

that cookie hack would probably be good for red velvet cookies

[@harrysmith8157]

That Cry for help made me crack up

[@sarahsfavfan]

you two are hilarious!

[@briancoleman9330]

So I take it the Kool-aide man crashed through your wall again?

[@anestasiaskitchen3954]

The egg floats because it has extra air around the egg and the shell. If it sinks then it is good. If it floats in the center of a cup, you can use it but it is going bad. If it sinks to the very top it means "DO NOT EAT". I did a video on my channel too :)

[@laurabear41]

Congratulations on the egg blowing it was lovely

[@BijouxVaudou]

I love the egg blowing part haha! I usually get a glass of cold water and swirl the egg around in it which helps with the peeling! The cakies would be good with a scoop of ice-cream!

[@ericahill1965]

Mrs Barry blowing the egg!!!!! well worth watching :-)

[@tiffanyfelkner8995]

To butter your ear of corn, try buttering a slice of bread then hold it in your hand and place cob on slice and spin. The butter will distribute and you get buttered corn and bread at the same time!

[@sarahmorris2242]

the egg hack works because as the egg gets older more air space is in it therefore it floats if it is rotten

[@paulgascoigne5343]

sarah mores yep, the gasses (ammonia and sulphur) from the decomposing egg fill the gap.

[@dommorris8163]

[@jaguarrior]

I make the cake mix cookies all the time! You can do all sorts of flavors and add stuff in. So far our favorite is pineapple cake mix with shredded coconut and white chocolate chips.

[@kenz3575]

Hi Barry for the big orange hack Cut it in half both ways and peel it from the top My dad does it and it works a charm

[@starcatcatherinehale1893]

Thanks for the huge LOL from the impromptu and extremely hilarious egg blowing contest. Today has just been one of those days that I really needed a good laugh :)) I also thought you might want to know that those cookies can be made from ANY flavor of box mix (try butter instead of oil, makes for a more cookie-ish flavor) and they will bake the same with all kinds of add-ins too (like choc. chips, nuts, or candy pieces) but they are meant to be measured out one tablespoon of dough per cookie, unless you want them large, then go for it LOL you can try rolling them in cocoa, powered sugar, brown sugar, or coconut before baking.... yummy Try making cookie bars with the same recipe but add one 14oz. can of prepared pie filling (you can totally add in nuts and stuff here too or top it), spread in a 13x9 pan, bake at 350F till toothpick comes out clean (varies depending on filling and oven but usually about 20-30 mins). The combinations are endless!! My favorite is a French vanilla pound cake mixed with lemon curd and white chocolate chips, bake, cool and drizzle with a sour cream frosting, it's Absolutely amazing and very easy to do. Well didn't mean to write a letter haha, thanks again and keep the excellent vids coming, Blessings (aasb)

[@1addition1subtraction]

Mrs Barry trying to open the orange and then accidentally shooting orange juice straight into Barry’s eye has go to one of the funniest MVK moment 😂

[@Livealohahawaii]

I’ve made cake mix cookies for 20 years. In fact, at Christmas time ii would make yellow cake dough and the children would roll the balls in red and green sugar. This was my solution for a busy working mom trying to get everything done. To this day, that’s what my kids think Christmas Sugar Cookies are. LOL. I’ve made so many flavor combos over the years including snickerdoodles, spice cookies, chocolate with chocolate chips. Very rich but delish.

[@bluemwa]

I always use the cooking spray for measuring peanut butter. It slips right out of the measuring cup or spoon without any trouble. Also, I use salt, not baking soda, for eggs. It works wonders, but it will leave a film on your pot if you put in too much.

[@jessicajudkinsfugere637]

In the USA we roll the cake batter cookies in powdered (icing) sugar before we bake them. They are called crinkle cookies. You can also skip the egg and oil and just use CoolWhip in place of it. 8oz CoolWhip and one box cake mix.

[@KentuckyRanger]

@ 9:19 Runny honey? Never hear of it here in 'merica... LOL!
