- Hello everybody, it's Barry here, welcome to My Virgin
Kitchen and I hope you, as always, are well. Today, we're testing some
more kitchen gadgets. There's two playlists remember, individual ones and this bulk one. This is kitchen gadget
bulk number 33 I think, something like that. We've done a lot, you guys are probably in
the middle of a Barr-athon right now cos you love
them so much, so thank you. If you've only just discovered these, start back at number one after this video and watch them all, it's a rollercoaster of emotions and fun things. We have got a handful of
gadgets right down there that I've pulled up from the magic, ever-growing box upstairs,
that some are novelty, some may be useful to
people with disabilities, so please consider that
before commenting down below. But, as always, lets
give them a darn good go. Alright, so, the first
gadget today is from a company called Joseph Joseph, we've done a few of their gadgets before, very solid, strong, good reputation in the kitchen gadget world,
very quirky, novelty colours, all that stuff, and they're
not paying me to even say that. I've actually got really
high hopes for this one, wasn't that a song? ♪ he's got high-- ♪ I don't know. There's a saucepan like that, and you've got these
individual coloured pods that can sit around the saucepan like that and steam, well we're gonna
go for vegetables today, but you can steam anything, I guess you could steam
fish in there I suppose, that would be pretty cool wouldn't it. So basically, it allows you
to steam foods differently and they hook onto your pan, they're compact as well
so they'll sit like that in your drawers, nice and space-saving. So, really, this could
be extremely useful. And, as it's steaming, it's
going to take quite a while, they just need to make
sure that throughout the rest of this video, I keep my eye, there it is again, on the pan. Alright, so I've just
given them a quick wash and taken all of the packaging away because we don't need that anymore. I don't know if any of you
get attached to packaging after you open something,
but I certainly don't. There we go, that's the
little metal hook thing there that's gonna basically, not do that, it's gonna let it sit on there like that. Oh that's cool! I really like that! But, as cool as that looks, remember we're not boiling,
we're not poaching it, we're steaming it, so we want the water level
to just be underneath it. (tap running) I actually managed to get
quite a fair bit in there. Alright, so, putting that on the heat, and obviously bare in
mind that when you're steaming the water, that water level will eventually go down and down and down, do not run out of water! That would be very dangerous,
keep your eye on it. "But what are we going to steam?" I hear you ask. Its going to form part
of possibly the world's weirdest omelette at the end
of this video, you will see. I got some peas, frozen peas. Petits pois to be precise,
petits pois, very nice. Some good old chantenay carrots. Was that Silence the
Lambs, was that in there? I think it was, oh no that was, oh. I might have even pronounced that right, I was just going to call them Shardonay. Sometimes you guys like it
when I pronounce things wrong, other times, it winds you
up a treat, and I love it. Last, but by no means least,
this is one of the first gadgets I have ever ever ever ♪ Getting back together ♪ had, this has been in my
gadget box for months, literally one of the first ones, and every time I'll be like "yes, I'll use that one,
that one, that one," and this one goes "brrr"
right to the bottom. But now, it's its time,
it has risen to the top. This is the one-step corn
kerneler, as seen on TV! In fact, it doesn't
even say as seen on TV, it just says TV. So we've got some corn,
and we need to kernel it. Colonel. And there it is, wow! Every time I looked at it
in the box, I was like, "does it really look
like a disc like that, "with a red thing on?" and it 100 percent does, it kinda looks like a donut doesn't it. Its got the instructions on the top. "Align the top, slide it
down, and then you pour out," oh right, so the corn
actually goes inside the donut and there's your funnel! That's really, really cool! It's that perfect combination, like a lot of kitchen gadgets, of plastic, mixed with very sharp blades, but I feel quite a bit of trust in this, it feels solid, and it feels good. So, the metal right there, so where the blade is the other side, it lines up pretty much
perfectly with the width of corn, I guess corn is generically,
usually the same width. I feel like the carrots are just kind of sat watching like an audience. So, align the top, (grunting) Wow, that was fun, that
was really really fun! Oh my gosh, how much fun
can you have with corn? Oh, this is tricky, now what? ♪ Start spreading the news ♪ Look, it hasn't made it all the way down. Look, look at all the corn in there. (rolling pin banging) This is awkward. And my corn is all falling out now! Oh there, that's good, I'm
getting all the corn bits out. It has actually worked, my fear is that it's just kind wedged now. It's kinda like a nice little placeholder, put a candle in it or something. My fear is that if I just go like that, (laughs) very awkward, I stabbed
myself in the eye with it. That ain't coming out, and I
want to do another bit of corn, what's going on, what's
going on in general? (grunting) Yes, get in there! Oh there's a few little bits
on the end, they survived. Imagine that, if you
were that piece of corn, you're like, "yes! "We made it buddy, we made it!" (grunting) That is so much fun,
it's a work out though! Why's it giving me sweetcorn juice? Oh my gosh, I don't know, I was really liking
this at first, but now, everything's sort of stuck! Bottom line is, it works, there are some other sweetcorn gadgets that I've done in the past
that are better than this and there are others that
I will be reviewing soon. So, we can start to
cook our peas, carrots, and of course, sweetcorn. You see that, there is steam coming up, it is just boiling, but the water is not going into the pods, amazing. Obviously, now I'm going to
put all the ingredients in, it's gonna go, don't do that! But the cool thing is as well, the actual plastic bits
here are safe to handle, you could lift them out if you want. Sweetcorn, which sadly
is leaking a bit still, but that's fine if that
drops into the water, we're steaming, it just
means that I need to clean up my work surface right now. And the carrots, which if
obviously I sliced them up, they would cook much quicker, but we've got some time on our side. See the steam, oh yeah! And that's it, I've just
got to tidy up this mess before we move onto the next gadget, which is actually quite novelty. In fact, it's very, very novelty. Yes, this is indeed novelty! This, my friends, was sent to
me by a company called Ototo, which could be an Indian chief, or also another name for a vegetable. Clean Dreams Kitchen Sponge Holder. I kid you not, this is basically a holder for your generic green
and yellow kitchen sponge, but it comes with one, so that's good! "Once the dishes are clean and bright, "lay your sponge in it's
bed and let it sleep tight. "See more of our designs on the website." Okay, this is the only one
I was sent, but I thought, "oh that's pretty cool,
yeah, just send me it, "and I'll just put it by my sink." Now, I actually prefer washing
up, we have a dishwasher, but I actually like just doing it, I find it therapeutic, the
actual washing process, the drying, I don't like that, in fact, a lot of our stuff, we tend to sort of just let it drip dry, turn it upside down, all that stuff. But there it is! It's literally a bed for a sponge! Oh yeah, I was gonna say, "are those pillows actually
on it," but look, woohoo! You can take it apart, look
I've got an ariel from a TV! So they've actually gone
to the effort of doing like the whole bed frame with the
pillows sort of burned onto it. The wooden actually slats, I guess that's good for
drainage though to be fair, cos you can take that out and then you spill your water away. I'm freestyling here. And then you slot that
in once you're done. Let's give it a lullaby style
pride of place by the sink. Look out for it in future
videos, until Mrs Barry moves in, which is probably highly likely. (lullaby music) Goodnight kitchen sponge holder! Those vegetables, I've
had a little sneak peak, are steaming absolutely gorgeously, and it's about to get even
hotter in here my friends, with more pan action. In a vlog recently, I
mentioned about some glasses that my friend Dave in
America crowdfunded, these are them, I use
them on computer screens, or sometimes when I'm on my phone, they've actually got a bit of tinting, and he successfully crowdfunded them, so, as well as the link
to all these gadgets in the description, I'll also leave a link to his product on Amazon, these! They're pretty cool and
they work an absolute charm. Sometimes in the middle of
the night, I get these dreams, I'm like, "does that thing exist?" I'm sure I'm not the
only one that does it, please tell me you do it, maybe not for kitchen
gadgets, it could be anything, and then you find it, it does exist, and you order it on your phone,
and before you realise it, here it is. So I actually the other day was thinking, "what if there was a
salt and pepper shaker "told help people, that was electronic?" It exists, and there's probably more! This was the first one I found. Cole and Mason, an English brand, salt and pepper already in there, two in one electric
system, salt and pepper, effortless convenience, we all
like effortless convenience. It's very convenient, at low effort. Cole and Mason are an English company, "world-renowned salt and
pepper mills enhance your home "and food. Incorporating
our ceramic mechanism, "these durable and quality mills "season consistently and professionally." You wanna season
consistently like salt bae, you want that even flow right? You don't wanna be like, "meh, meh." Imagine if salt bae just used this. "With your choice of grind coarseness," oh, can we change the coarseness? I didn't think of that, that's awesome. "Freshly milled, our finest peppercorns and natural coarse sea salt
really bring out the taste in your food to give you
real depth of flavour." I like the packaging, it's
kinda like a Christmas present. It was not cheap but I
can actually feel that. This is a weighty thing. (salt and pepper rattling) It's got two little chutes
there, salt and pepper. It's got a lock on it,
con you see that padlock, open and close, I guess to
stop the mechanism working. Let's do it! Okay, so, here we go, it's
got a P on it as well, and S! So, lets go for some salt first. (button clicking) Please don't do this, oh no! Is this where the batteries go? I don't know where the batteries go. Maybe I just need to, oh yeah it's on lock, please work. Right, so... There's no batteries in it. It didn't say that on the box! Luckily, I'm an internet sensation and I have batteries
coming out of my ears. That was a joke, I'm not
an internet sensation. I just have a lot of batteries. Oh no, these are triple As! I've got a lot of
batteries but I've got... (phone ringing) I need triple A batteries! That's going to be the weirdest voicemail, actually it's probably not, one of the weirdest
voicemails Mrs Barry has had from me in the last two weeks. Alright, I'm not proud
but I've got double As coming out of my ears, Triple As, TV remote, Phoebe's alarm clock. These better be good now. Are you kidding me, it's four! I've got four, I've got one more spare, there's six! I've still not got enough. I've still not got, just one! Oh my, there's got to be something else upstairs with triple As. Told you I was the battery master, look. I just found a random pack of triple As. Honestly, this has gotta blow my mind now. So that goes on, so it was
only a locking mechanism to actually access the battery thing. So, locked in. (grinder whirring) What's going on guys, why has it stopped? S, S, alright, let's try P. I'm turning it to the widest setting, so obviously that's
how strong it's milled. (grinder whirring) I'm getting more out if I just
shake it like some maracas. I just pressed the button my accident but that sounded much better, salt. (machine whirring) Can you see that? Pepper. (grinder whirring) I mean, they're so fine specks that you might not be able to see it, but hopefully you can see
the pepper just landing on the salt there. Works. Alright, this is not a massive wristband or something like that,
it's a splatter guard, it's a silicone splatter guard. I've got a few different
versions of these upstairs, it's all gonna do the same thing isn't it. I'm gonna cook some sausages for my ever-growing strange omelette, It's got a bit where
you can put a spoon in and stir it round but we need to access the
sausages for another gadget. Because this other gadget
is one that I have been bombarded, bombarded I
tell you, by you guys, you've been sending me links,
writing to my home address, turning up at my house,
knocking on the door, going, "look, Barry, check out this." The two in one spatula and tongs. It's basically two in
one spatula and tongs. "Comfortable non-slip handle wet or dry, "safe for non-stick cookware, "silicone head and neck are
heat resistant to 480 C!" It's silicone, it's pretty good. "Portions, flips, and serves food." So that's cool. I don't wanna do too much with this, I get what it does, like flipping pancakes
and stuff like that, but I liked, there's an
image there, can you see? You see those sausages there, how they've like bunched together? So they've cooked them, moved
them around with the tongs, and then scooped them up like that. That appeals to me. (sounds of exclamation) Oh my gosh, I was kinda
half expecting them to go (spring noise) Oh, there we go, yeah they
pop open a little bit more. They've basically just
taken the generic tongs that you get everywhere, there you go, they are actually the same ones! Those cheeky rascals! And now you've got me
doing a video for you. Right, pop that out, they'll
open up like standard tongs. I bet if I took those off, no they wouldn't have even done
the nice stumpy bits on them they're just literally metal. Little bit of non-slip,
locky lock like that, but it's all about this bit. Feels like very superhero-ish, like, "I'm Mr Tong-man, someone's in danger!" That is pretty cool. Yes, it's actually really
cool, this is a game! Buy another one and just
throw kiwis at someone else. I can now see why this is a fun thing. Okay, so I've just stuck
some sausages in a pan with some oil, and I'm frying them away. Checked the water level of the vegetables we're steaming, the peas were
done ages ago to be fair, the sweetcorn's pretty much nearly there, the carrots are gonna need
a little bit more time and we've still got
that, which is awesome. So I am, as I say, not needing to top the water up right now, but, I don't wanna burn no pans. But anyhow, these sausages,
they're starting to spit oil. I'm not really gonna keep this on there just really wanted to show
because this is designed more for cakes and making batter and stuff cos you put the whisks in there, but it can also work for this, so when the oil is
spraying up and the fat, that you can still, using a spatula, push the sausages around. Of course, it's a little tricky to see it, but sometimes people
actually message me going, "have you got any ideas for
splatter-proof sausages?" Well this is just one
way, use one of these, but as I say, much more common to put some electric whisks in there and make buttercream and stuff like that. There is quite a bit of
oil spitting up from these, so that, as long as you're
alright with moving them, is a nice little hack. So I'm using these tongs, they've still got the ends on them, so you can grab, and flip,
and turn things over. To be fair, this is actually
really, really cool. I don't know, just to me, it still looks like a superhero utensil, I don't know. They should have totally
branded it like that. Probably hear the sausages
sizzling in the background, they're done, I'm bringing them over. So this is where, this
thing, you can actually serve from it as well, not like tennis, but what I mean by that is, look. Scooping up sausages, multiple sausages. That is awesome. Oh my gosh, I got four. The last one, meh. I gonna clean this pan
up for our final gadget. Was it Kanye West that jumped on stage at an awards ceremony and went, "whoa, whoa, whoa, I'ma let you finish," OmeLit, this is the fat
free omelette maker. It's basically another one that's been in my gadget box for a long,
long time, I was thinking, "is this any good?" We're gonna find out now
by making an omelette. I'm just gonna quickly
beat together some eggs, we'll use the sausage and vegetables, and even the salt and pepper. Okay, so, some beaten eggs, (grinder whirring) seasoned, of course, some steamed peas, some of the carrots, and our sweetcorn, which has been on one heck of a journey today. Just cutting up the
sausages that we cooked and the carrot as well, might as well. And that, we'll mix together, is gonna be a very, very, very strange omelette filling indeed. But it's not about the omelette. It's about this thing, which literally just feels like a black piece of paper. So this is a 20 centimetre pan, which the omelette thing fits
pretty much perfectly inside, and that's what we want. We wanna get this hot, and
I assume that's because the minute the egg hits it, it will start to set and firm within it. Apparently we can test
if it's ready by adding a very small amount of
egg, and seeing if it sets, well, that's not moving! There, that's cooking
almost straight away! So, I'm gonna turn the
heat down literally now, so it's still on, and the egg is going in. And it's got to be enough
to fill the disc apparently. How egg-siting! We're basically waiting for
it to begin to set on the top. Oh, it's certainly starting
to get a skin on it! I'm going for it. Okay. "Remove pan from heat
and allow handles to cool "or use an oven glove or
tongs, pull one handle up "and pivot around the
central hinge, okay." It says to potentially
prod it down to seal it, with a spatula like so, okay. So, cook on this side for a minute, and then flip it over,
cook it for another minute. Lift out the pan with both
the handles like a handbag. Alright, one minute, guess
I can move it around a bit, oh yeah, see any excess like
that, try and scoop that out, there we go. And then we take these handles, lift and turn over like so. It's definitely browned on the side, that was the side that was exposed, has it split? Oh no, my OmeLit! Kanye, it's split! It's not a one use product is it, no way? Alright, that's time, turn the heat off, lift it out like a handbag. (laughing) Anyone wanna go shopping? Right. It's more like a pancake in
colour, but that's cooked. It's cooked both sides. I think these are gaps
that are in it anyway, it didn't cut. The world's strangest omelette has worked. Needs some seasoning. Bit of melted cheese wouldn't go amiss, but I put barbecue sauce
on everything as well. It's a stuffed omelette! (laughing) What an emotional journey of vegetables, triple A batteries and
silicone this video has been. It's alright, it is actually not too bad. That was a pretty full-on
one today folks, we did good, high five the camera right now, high five your screen right now. Omelette you have a Barr-athon now and spend the rest of your days watching the rest of this playlist and all the other videos. If you try any recipes, send me pictures, if you get any of these gadgets and you tell me any
learning thing about it, do let me know on social media at My Virgin Kitchen. My favourite one was actually
these superhero-style tong spatula things, and
I'm really impressed by it, I was like, "nah, this ain't gonna work," but, awesome. As always, I'll leave a description to all the gadgets in the link
below and of course, a link to my friend Dave's glasses if you fancy checking those out. Thanks for watching guys,
and I'll see you next time.
