We Tested Kitchen Hacks | Can You Remove an Avocado Stone with a Whisk!?

[@mrbarrylewis]

I think the avocado one was a lot of fun, but don't think i'll be trying it again anytime soon! Roasting lemons was epic though, it looked like they'd been ruined but the flavour comparison was crazy! I'll definitely do that again!

[@amandaribofpalmetto]

A better hack for parchment in a tin, fold the parchment in half 4 times, put the point in the center of the tin and cut the excess. When you unfold it, the parchment will fit the bottom of the tin, near perfectly.

[@muffinmarie01]

@@amandaribofpalmetto yes, I do that all the time

[@brianfurr4406]

Just to let you know, your video description says roasting onions, not lemons!

[@bibliophile1319]

I bet the lemons would hold onto a lot more juice if they were roasted cut side up! Maybe in a muffin/cupcake tin, to keep them from rolling around? And frying pieces of rice paper the same way makes something like chips/crisps!

[@carveylover]

I bet you can use the whisk to slice the avocado. I know they have gadgets for that and you can use a knife but that might an interesting way to do something simple.

[@TLGx791]

Mrs B “What a SH-silly hack”. We all know what you were really trying to say haha! Love it.

[@bigshaq712]

Hi Barry I’ve been watching for ages and I just started my first job and the first thing I seen in the kitchen was the famous wrapmaster 3000, used it all day and couldn’t get you out of my head 😂

[@mrbarrylewis]

haha I saw the same in a cafe the other day and had a chuckle to myself

[@Leigh984]

Our village hall has a wrapmaster 4500 !

[@wildshadowstar]

If you’re getting “hacks” from 5 Minute or other such channels, you need to check out Ann Reardon on How To Cook That, where she debunks all kinds of cooking and lifestyle videos.

[@heididahl439]

Even if you don't just check her out. Important information 😁

[@berngirl5624]

Totally agree. As a food scientist, she has vast information!

[@TamarLitvot]

She’s fantastic at debunking (but also giving credit to things that work). And she’s a lot of fun to watch!

[@cassandranegri2052]

Oh My God I totally love her content!!!

[@runarandersen878]

I thought immediately about her too. I became aware of her in the comments on KZbin somewhere. Some of the tricks she cover is scary as well.

[@ashsboomstick2417]

"You don't get stressed do you Mrs B?" Possible reply- "I live with you remember?"

[@twistyrose]

a little surprised she never said that reply lol

[@TheMimiSard]

The way Mrs B says "Yeah?" in a slightly worried tone as Barry explains a replacement for popcorn makes me think I know where their daughter totally gets her mannerisms.

[@zimmercj]

Two tips: you can grill lemons for lemonade as well, and the sushi back is easier in a silicone or other flexible ice tray. No wasted plastic and easier to remove.

[@JDtheBlackPhoenix]

You've discovered the most complicated way to make guacamole

[@soupsgord]

Barry: here's a hack where we fry rice noodles! Every Asian watching: hack?

[@illuminahearts3113]

exactly!!!

[@Dee_Just_Dee]

I can't speak for any Asian folks, but gosh darn are bits of fried noodle ever tasty in a salad. Bok choy, fried noodle bits, almond slices and some simple vinaigrette make for an amazing little salad.

[@XNeverShoutZoeX]

Haha yeah I was like - I’ve had these at Chinese restaurants in Australia like on top of Honey Chicken.

[@farshnuke]

I don't like noodles because they are slimy but fried rice noodles sounds good.

[@suzz1776]

"I'm annoyed with you" mrs. b is so adorable. :) that just made me say awwwww. :)

[@MeAuntieNora]

Yes! That subtle look of adoration blended frustration.

[@strawbellebelle]

Barry: "It's getting everywhere!" Barry: (keeps doing it)

[@crystalbrennan730]

I came to say the same thing. If I was Mrs. Barry, I would have walked away. 😂

[@rachelkaufman2422]

That avocado hack thing had me laughing so hard i was crying!!!! That was sooooo freaking funny. Pretty sure it got all over the ceiling too

[@kellylaliberte548]

Not to mention taking five times longer than cut, scoop, mash.

[@aqsaqureshi6602]

Omg me too.. I couldn't breathe.. I literally couldn't stop.. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@Dee_Just_Dee]

I would say that it was "off the wall", but it was all over it.

[@Sandra-fi9sx]

Can you try the lifehack of rubbing a walnut on a wood surface that is scratched to fill it in?🧐

[@suzz1776]

uh? that is so cool. I gotta try that cuz I am learning how to do wood working and that could help alot. lol

[@Sandra-fi9sx]

@@suzz1776 Make sure you use the walnut and not the shell! Like the part you eat! Haha, hope you understand, don't know if it works tho, have just seen other people try it

[@muffinmarie01]

Works like a charm. You can also purchase a tin of 3 different colored sticks you just rub on the scratch and that works really well.

[@brandyfreeman4098]

I was holding my breath as Barry beat the whisk against the side of the glass bowl. I kept expecting to see avocado & shards of glass go flying everywhere.

Marshmallow one looks an easy way to ruin a perfectly good toaster!

[@maraudentium2607]

Yeah, I'd sooner use anything but that...the oven, a culinary torch, a box of matches...

[@AndersEinarHilden]

A perfect start would be "Hello, Mrs. B" "Hello, Mr. B"

[@obrysii]

When Barry said that Mrs. B was mad at him it made me sad but it got turned around when she rubbed his arm and said, "Of course it's going to work." So wholesome. Barry and Mrs. B are relationship and life goals.

[@abcd4054]

The intro had more drama than bloody eastenders 😅

[@Mister_kipling]

Omg the amount of chaotic energy.....Mrs B you have the patience of a Saint......

[@hollydavies2852]

Thank you for these videos they honestly give me so much happiness! ❤️

[@MisterM2402]

Mrs B is cute as a button, Barry's a lucky, lucky man. But then Mrs B's lucky too to have Barry making her all this delicious food!

[@Jo-hs4hj]

The fried vermicelli is a favourite dish in some parts of China, Hong Kong and South East Asia. Just​ look up Ying Yang noodles. It's stirfried flat rice noodles and crispy fried rice vermicelli doused in an egg gravy. My favourite childhood dish.

[@berngirl5624]

First time I had ever seen it was at a Thai restaurant and it was made into some kind of salad type dish. It was amazing.

[@Melanie_M]

I always imagine that after these kinds of video Mrs. B is sitting Barry down to talk about his career choices and through his charms he always convinces her that KZbin videos are the right thing to do, until the next video of kitchen hacks or toaster video comes around. It's the circle of life.

[@chrisginostravels7388]

I have had a morning of watching your hacks. And I have to say that I have not laughed so much for months. Thank you for brightening up my day. Great channel and some excellent hacks.

[@charlockprime]

That "lemonade" is fundamentally upsetting.

[@doombuddha]

Is this a British thing? Blitzing up the whole lemon? I've never seen that and can't look at it and call it lemonade. More like a lemon puree.

[@jodivandyk3649]

In Canada we use the juice of the lemon. Less bitter.

[@sophieelizabeth7081]

@@doombuddha it really isn’t a British thing! That is not how you make lemonade!

[@fluffycritter]

Given that in the UK "lemonade" usually means, like, Sprite, I think that British people just fundamentally don't understand lemonade.

[@UncleSkiBum]

@@fluffycritter yes in UK lemonade can be like Sprite or it can be old fashioned/traditional lemonade which is proper lemonade. We do get it it's just the term covers a few different types. And as Brit I have never seen or made lemonade with whole lemon

[@twocvbloke]

The avocado one, that looked like the closest Mrs.B has come to actually kicking your rear for making a mess, that hack was a disaster... :P

[@kinchlmi]

Barry alternates between Genius and Mad Scientist when he does these hacks in the kitchen.

[@warmhandswarmheart]

My sisters and I used to roast marshmallows over a burner of the stove. If you touch it to the burner, it will catch fire and then you get that char you love so much. It is also very much easier to clean up if it drops onto the burner.

[@wonderqueerTT]

love the wet baking parchment, been doing that for years, works perfectly

[@Oscarhewittfilm]

As soon as I saw in the previews that you got avocado on the worktop, I knew I was in for a good one 😂😂😂

[@King_Lewis]

I use the crumpled parchment paper for the baking beans in tarts and quiches works a charm!

[@JudiWhitacre]

When my dad was a young boy, his babysitter had taught his brother and him to roast marshmallows with the toaster. They decided a few days later to make some before my grandma woke up. One caught fire and fell on the table, which caught the table linens on fire, and my grandmother was awakened my my dad yelling, "Mommy, the table's cooking!!!"

[@thiccpikachu9414]

A candle on a plate of water with mini marshmallows works great for kids. But that's not as exciting as a table fire 😂

[@gachapumkin2437]

Best way to line cake tin. Grease the tin, add some flour and shake round the tin so it sticks to the butter. No need to bother with parchment paper again

[@Werevampiwolf]

Or if it's something sweet like cake, you can use sugar ;) my family has done that for 80ish years

[@DragonNexus]

Poor suffering Mrs B. Patience of a Saint and a sense of humour to match.

[@abigailsaballos3305]

Love your energy together

[@mrbarrylewis]

thanks I think there is potential but we are taking things slow lol

[@Haybalemelonhead]

I don’t think Mrs B will let you near the worktop after the avocado and breezeblock

[@Gunspud]

The look of sheer panic on Mrs B's face whenever you mention the toaster. Priceless!

[@Zelmel]

If you're going to do lemonade with the whole lemon, if you slice it thin (on a mandolin ideally) and let it sit with the sugar covered for a full day, a lot of the bitterness will go away. We do this for a type of lemon pie where you use everything but the pips and it's never bitter.

[@Zelmel]

You can find recipes for it if you search "shaker lemon pie"

[@luvz2reed]

Oh Mrs. B. The trials and tribulations of being married to a mad genius.

[@laurenwilliams4371]

Mrs B “Oh my gosh, what have you done!!” My favourite line !

[@cassandranegri2052]

I make a scone recipe that I call the 3 & 2 1’s scones…….3 cups of SR flour, I cup of cream and 1 cup of lemonade and they turn out perfect every time 👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@mrbarrylewis]

sounds good!

[@whisperzzar3321]

Hehe, I make mine the same way, so much easier than the traditional method. And they turn out great regardless.

[@jaimejohnesee]

These kitchen hack testing videos with Mrs B are my favorite. You guys are so good together. You remind me of a young George and Gracie Burns. 💙

[@vickytaylor9155]

The rice noodle hack is what you do with a vesta chow mein meal topping.

[@brianartillery]

Probably ate so many of them in the 1970's that it wasn't good for me. We loved Vesta dried ingredient meals, and must have eaten literally tons of the things. To a small kid (me at the time), those expanding noodles were actual magic.

[@sayididit2930]

Maybe you can put the empty cake tin in the oven for a few minutes so the water cooks out

[@mackensierose9064]

Mrs B turns around for 2 seconds.... "Oh My gOsh What HavE yOU donE?!!?!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hi Barry, I’ve been a fan for the longest time, but tonight I am watching this a bit tipsy and I just have to thank you for being one of the main things that makes me happy in my life, I know this isn’t the place to do this, but thank you so much for making me laugh and making me happy

[@laceyrodriguez7269]

I’m so glad to know that I’m not the only one who blends the whole lemon for lemonade! Everyone always thinks I’m gross and crazy for doing that, but it tastes so much better!

[@dcworld1076]

the avacado hack wasnt a hack it was barry having a midlife crisis

[@MrColinengland]

For your scratch on the kitchen counter, try running a walnut on it. It works a treat!

[@kennymcornmick]

The sushi hack had me so confused. That kind of sushi done “properly” looks like less effort as it’s just shape a rough rectangle of rice and place a slice of tuna or salmon on top 😅 although seeing Mrs B try and contain herself over the mess was amusing

[@Pudeta]

haha, me too! Also it looks more tidy when you do it by hand? At least for this simple sushi

[@swimfectionist97]

You guys are honestly the cutest couple.

I love Mrs. B so much♡ she is why I watch your videos. Team Mrs. B!

[@peachygirl2374]

I was a professional pastry chef, the parchment scrunching method is great for blind baking tart cases, I tend to use the fold and trim method where you fold it in to quarters and in half again put the point into the centre of the tin and trim the edge! Perfect every time!

[@muffinmarie01]

Right you are, that's the way I was taught.

[@samanthaball92]

When i bake cakes I always wet the parchment before putting the cake mixture in the tin. Always works for me.

[@juliefreedmansmith8737]

Thank you for the fantastic laugh during the avocado section.🤣🤣🤣🤣 great hacks!

[@Ubrzani]

"Look, there's some on the wall. OoO" ROFL! 🤣

[@Anew1008]

Wow I've never seen lemonade made that way! I like the mini sushi so cute!

[@molomas4106]

For baking paper in the cake tin, I always fold it in half, then in half the other way, then in a triangle and I keep halving the triangle until it’s quite thin and then cut it roughly half the length of the tin and if you keep the point the same the whole time it makes a circle

[@melimoo6656]

Omg!! That avocado hack made me laugh so hard my sides hurt!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@zxtudio]

I think I have a feeling how those household appliances feel from the brave little toaster movie singing it a bmovie but it's Barry ruining/mistreated them for cooking hacks/ideas rather than ripping them apart.

Claritey is broiling similar to boiling?

[@claritey]

@@ticketyboo2456 No. *Broil* - food exposed to intense direct heat, oven/air fryer set to the highest temperature it goes, usually 500°F/260°C (similar to grilling but usually only involving the top coils on an electric oven or directly next to flames on gas oven) *Boil* - food submerged in water above 212°F/100°C
