("Hallelujah Chorus" by
George Frideric Handel) (gadget buzzing)
- Yes! Hello, welcome, it's 2019! Happy New Year, Merry
Christmas and all that stuff, hope you had a lovely, festive period. I've gotta be honest, don't tell anyone, I feel a little bit rusty today, I'm like, what is this camera
thing, what do I do, so, hey, hope you're well! But we're starting with a
kitchen gadget testing video, and as always, remember, some of these can help
people with disabilities, so consider that before
commenting down below. We've got some real fun and
some actual useful ones today that I'm very egg-cited for. Just before we get started, this year I do plan to launch, finally, my own Kickstarter campaign for my own range of
gadgets slash utensils. I've been thinking
about it over Christmas, doing lots of research. It's gonna be very, very hard, but I mean, if any of you
guys are product designers or have any ideas and stuff like that, I would massively appreciate
it, but I'm gonna do it. There's a couple of
different ways we could go. We could do novelty ones, food punny ones, but I generally like
the idea of just making a sound range of just stuff
that's really decent quality, and also maybe some ones
that can actually help people that struggle with certain
tasks in the kitchen too. So keep an eye out for that. If you have any feedback on
it, do let me know down below if you'd support it but I'm gonna do it. Alright, so this thing
that I have just washed by OXO Good Grips is a
plastic lettuce knife, but let's, lettuce not finish there. They have got holes in it, you might remember
there's a kale stripper, which is not the name of
someone in a nightclub. This is to help strip kale, which I have. Although, when I tried it before, it wasn't that great,
when I had my other one. So this is the biggest setting on there, we should be able to pull this through. (ripping)
Aw, yeah! (surprised grunt)
(laughs) Well that cut, yes,
that did actually work, it got rid of the naughty stem. This knife is a lettuce
knife, it's plastic, it's got good ridges on it, kind of like a bread
knife, for a sawing action. We need two lettuces or lettuci. So apparently, a lettuce does brown, well, they do, they always brown, in fact, sometimes you get
them in a McDonald's burger, you're like, oh, why is the lettuce brown? (crinkling) But I always thought
that was down to oxident, oxident, oxi, oxi, ox, ox, ox, oxidation. Being exposed to the air. So in a way, we're all kind
of oxidating, aren't we? Apparently, with this
lettuce, something about the plasticness will prevent it browning. Now sometimes that can
happen over several days. If this doesn't work
immediately, we're gonna leave this in the background
for the whole video, I'll just do somethin' on my social media in a few days' time, alright? So slice this one.
(crunching) Oh, look at that! I love the inside of a lettuce,
it's pretty cool, isn't it? And then just a standard (crunching)
metal knife. So I'll put the metal knife by this one, and the plastic one by
this one and that's that. We're just gonna leave
that in the background, see if it browns any
differently, I don't know. For the guy that wanted me to make a giant brussels sprout over Christmas, there you go.
(laughing) I can't find any reason why the plastic should work better than the metal, but let's oxidate and move on. Basically I'm gonna put it over there. For those of you that are in
the middle of a Barrython, AKA watching multiple of my
videos in a row on my playlist, thank you for that,
but you might recognise on a recent gadget video,
we got the Clever Cracker with the bonus Clever Scrambler. Now, the Clever Cracker
was actually pretty good. It was clever, it cracked the eggs and it caught it and all that stuff. (loud cracking)
Ooh! Amazing, but this scrambler, which is ideally why I got
this again, it didn't work. Ah, come on. So this is it. Yeah, this is the one, the button just fell off again but I hopped onto Amazon and wanted to get a new Clever Scrambler. Using the same link, this arrived, the EZCracker, which is the same thing. It's still the crack-y thing, but there's no scrambler in it. Different name, different colour box, I don't know what happened there. I already have one of these, so my latest Twitter
follower, ThisUpstartCrow, "I'm an actor, freelance dramaturg, "teach at middle school, "and work for the National Park Service." There you go, Curtiss Cluff. Get in touch, mate, you
can have this, alright? (thunking) So I got on Amazon again and this has now finally arrived? Oh, there we go, it's in there and there is another one
of these, so, uh huh. Alright, to mix it up, I'm
now switching to Facebook and I'm scrolling rolls away, back, right back to the dawn of time, boom. Ricky English. Ricky, get in touch, mate. You can have this one and
I guess if this works, you'll have this too. Get in touch, Ricky. Alright, so let's take this wand out. Is the button secure? That feels better, that feels better. Okay, remember now to open, we twist it. Yes and the batteries, which
I remember were so tote, they gotta go in. Batteries in, ooh!. (clicking) It's not working. Ricky! Don't do this. After all the time that I
waited for this to arrive, are you serious? Come on. (whirring) ("Hallelujah Chorus" by
George Frideric Handel) Yes! The needle is spinning around. You can see it, can you see it? It's in, yes!
(laughing) Apparently I grasp the egg like this, about 15 to 20 seconds, it should be done. (rattling) You hear that? You're a wizard, Barry! Look, it's spin, it's, it's. (whirring) Oh, does it not move the egg? Am I supposed to just go like that? But if I go like that,
nothing's happening. I got that. Has that scrambled the egg? (dramatic music) Unintentionally long pause, I don't know. (cracking) No. That was a large egg. I'll see if I've got a
medium one in the fridge. Oh man, this is going everywhere. Right, let's just try this again. I have just checked and it's
not supposed to spin around. You are supposed to just
kind of like nurture the egg, hold it, caress it like a bald head. (rattling) Or maybe not. I'm giving it a little
bit of movement as well, a bit up and down just to try and get it spinning all around, really breaking, essentially just wanna break
the yolk up, don't you, then stir it free. That's all we're doing, come on. If only eggs were transparent, eh? Random fact for you, penguin eggs are transparent when cooked. I wanted to get ahold of one,
but I think that's illegal. So let's proper go all out,
sorry about this, Ricky. There's no point tapping
it on the side, old school. We're gonna use this and hopefully we'll have a scrambled egg. (cracking) Oh yes, it's okay! I've seen people mention on websites that it doesn't work at all. (doorbell ringing)
(dogs barking) Made in China, it's got to be a caveat. (ripping) Oh my gosh, this is a Wish
gadget, this is a Wish gadget. I'll save it, oh my
gosh, that looks lethal. This is like a sausage chopper. Crikey, we'll worry about that, there'll be another Wish.com special, might be the next one. When you're having your Barrython, you can say I was there, 'cause of course you do. You know when people are I was there when this happened, I was there when Barry
received the sausage chopper. But let's get back to that again. Look, it's not amazingly
scrambled, there's little islands. (singing)
Islands in the egg, that is what you are. Yeah, it's alright, but it's a darn sight better than that one. (clinking)
Hmmm. (whirring)
Hey, that works a charm. That's worked amazingly. It's just a shame it
needs batteries, isn't it? Maybe it should be solar
powered or pug powered. Look, this is a lettuce update. Not much is happening. Alright, wow that's close, hang on. So the other day, I got
Tweeted this amazing picture of something called a Piggy Pop. So that's basically a mould where you can make pigs in blankets. It took me a long time to find. It's gonna take about
six weeks to arrive, but we're gonna do ground-breaking
stuff right now. Some of you in the UK will
know what sugar mice are. This is actually a mould
that I bought online to make some sugar mice with my kids and these are oven-proof, so
we can do mice in blankets. So we're gonna make a batter
mix with a batter mix. Now of course you can get
these powdered batter mixes like this in the shops. They're basically just
flour and milk really, 'cause you got your eggs already in there. Bit of water. Look. I promised I'd start
this year on a new leaf. Camera's making the mice look
larger than they actually are. There's not much there so I'm gonna spoon a very small bit of batter initially then we got some hot dogs. Alright, so.
(methodical orchestral music) Supermarket I used to work out used to basically sell everything from this company called Ye Olde Oak. So here we go, American-style hot dogs. Mmm in brine, which smells
like dog food, nice. If only I had a sausage slicer, oh my gosh, this is lippy, to use, but I'm gonna save it for another video. Right, we'll chop this up and, wow, ah they're sleeping. Any men watching? Ooh, ahh, ehh. I'm not gonna lie, they
really, really stink so there we go, in it goes. Ooh it's a little bit, mmm, okay. They are quite big. But we'll go for it,
we'll go for it, guys. So we just fill up the mouse. In fact, let's halve a couple of them, just so we've got a couple submerged. There we go, hide in there, and you. And I have no idea what's
gonna happen to this. I'm gonna put it on the middle shelf 'cause that is a very hot oven and my concern is that that's gonna rise. So we're gonna have big mice. Alright, you eating, oh my gosh, you swallowed them whole. (thud) I want you to imagine
for one moment, okay, just do it, bit role play, that you are David Hasselhoff, I know, and you have a choice
between heaven or hell and you have opted for hell. That is because you are HelferHoff, a cherry and olive corer from abroad, generically somewhere, another country, because it's in many other
languages, it does have English. And this thing pits cherries
and olives, it doesn't (rattling)
sound very good. It's got a piston. (singing)
Some people stand in the darkness. Oh my. (singing)
Afraid to step into the light, some people. We have a spring. Think, yeah, that's gonna
go in there, isn't it? Ooh, that's sharp. And then we thread that on like that and we should.
(pumping) So this is a cherry container, oh right, this is a vacuum
base so it will stick, so hopefully.
(slurping) I think I need to hold that in place, that is staying there. But look.
(laughing) Oh my gosh, this is not very secure. What? So effectively what's gonna happen, we're gonna stick the
olive or cherry in there, that's gonna push down through it, so it will push the seed
thing into the bottom and then we'll be left
with other things here. In there like that. Here we go. (thunking) Alright. What the heck happens now? The cherry doesn't go through? It doesn't roll out? Oh it's got the pit. It has got it. Yes! But the cherry is too big to go through, 'cause what should happen, gravity should roll it down
out the shoot out the back. Oh there we go, oh hey. You gotta help it a little bit, you gotta help a bit but
it does kind of work. Four smaller cherries, okay? And we're gonna go for it, we're gonna go. The first one is not even lined up but we're gonna do like it says, we're just gonna smash it through. (chopping)
Boom. Yes! But, I did not see if there was
a stone that came out of it, stone, pit, whatever. Mmm. It must be in there, I can't see it, but. (chopping)
Ey? It's coming out. Come on, roll down. Now iff we excuse the
sort of gory, bloody scene on the gadget, we'll just crack on and I don't know about these,
these are some big boy olives. Don't like olives. There's a lot of food I don't like. There's a lot of food I
love, but there's some foods, like olives, that's just salt. 'Scuse me. Alright, let's try it with the olive. It's not going through.
(chopping) Oh look, it got it, it got it, there's no stone in that. But the stone is stuck
in the little butt there. Come on, oh wow, that's 'cause it's huge. That has got something from Alien. Lettuce update. Still lettuce.
(beeping) I have no idea what
this is gonna look like. What the hell is that? Okay, okay. Let's get you in, let's get you in. Look they popped out of the moulds. Oh wow. I'm actually quite
positive about it though. We'll just leave them
there for a minute but wow. Something you don't see every day. That worked well though,
didn't it, that one. Whoo, ha ha, this is awesome. Still a teeny bit hot but it has worked. This looks to be the best one. Have we got it?
(laughing) Ow, it's hot, oh my gosh! It's got the tail, aah, and the ears. This has actually worked out pretty good. Oh wow, it's still hot. Will, you see the hot dog in the middle? Pigs in blankets in the UK,
we wrap the sausage in bacon, so this is all very new
to me but it's kinda cool, the hot dogs work. Imagine a world where you can make brownies in the microwave. Well that already exists,
we've done microwave recipes here on the channel before and they are actually
phenomenally good but you might have heard of a
lady called Betty Crocker. They have loads of cake
mixes and let's be honest, in fact if we're being completely honest, two years ago Mrs. Barry
and I would make this cake, bit of last minute thing,
grab some packet mixes, people like oh my gosh, I love
what you did to this sponge and, honestly, it was Betty Crocker, but they get you out of trouble sometimes. Anyhow, I have two of these things, the other one is a cake maker, which I'll probably do on another video, but this is is a microwave
chocolate brownie maker. And of course, because it's Betty Crocker, it suggests that you use the Betty Crocker chocolate brownie mix,
which I have right here. The supermarket did their own version, I'm sure you could and you
probably even make your own powdered mix and stuff as well. This must be where the brownies are made and I don't know what, oh
it says brownie mix, what? Oh my goodness, this is ingenious. If you look, hopefully
you can see on the camera, it says brownie mix there,
oil, egg, and water, okay? That's compartments with actual fill lines to show you how far that should go up. Amazing! Brownie mix goes in. Alright so it's actually about half a bag, so you get two brownies
out of this potentially. And I fill water up to there. Absolutely nailed that, that is bang on. Oil, three tablespoon.
(thud) I'm not gonna take any risks. Yep, that's a good job I did that because I was gonna go, there
was no fill line on that oil. There's none, Betty, hmm? What a crock of, uh, brownies. One egg, should we beat it, yes we shall. Ricky, the one thing I did
differently with this, mate, okay, I put the thinner end at the bottom of the egg cup holder, so
this is the slightly rounder, you know how an egg has
a slightly bigger bottom? I did it upside down,
alright, I think that's why it's working like that. But then again, we don't
know if it's meant to. (rattling) It's meant to be like that, isn't it? But that's more fun. (cracking) Oof, oh no, look, it's the same
spot as me batter, oh gosh. Well, it wanted a medium
egg, this is a large egg, so I just need to get, oh my gosh, dogs. Oh, it's on my foot, oh hang on. I need to properly clear this
up, this is dirty, dirty. Alright, we are back and egg-free. Now this is the part I like
because all of that effort and weighing out we've
done, we're just gonna go, oh actually, should we do something crazy? It's gotta go in the tub, don't do this. It was like a swimming pool, there was a little wave of egg then. Da da da da da da da, yes! In this goes, roughly three minutes. (beeping) Eh! If it's still a little
bit gooey, that's okay. Doesn't look like the best
brownie I've ever seen (sniffs)
but it sure does smell good. Should it be that high, it's tiny. Okay, alright, it needs
self-rising flour next time maybe. We let it cool and then we'll
put it on the wire rack. So one more gadget to look at. Let us update you on
the lettuce situation. There's not much going on. Now this I was going to do a
gadget review on its own for, because it's expensive, but there are more better slash advanced ones
that do more tasks out there, which I'll probably do on their own. Also, I couldn't work out how to test it if I was gonna do one video. It's like, it's a toaster with an egg cooker on the side, that's it. I was gonna go, oh can
I race it against toast, it's just a toaster versus a toaster. Don't worry if you haven't
got anything to eat, I cook for you. Pronounced that wrong intentionally 'cause it wouldn't have sounded PG. Oh wow, this is actually quite a beast. What's this do? Are we frying? What's all this? Oh my gosh, what, what
the heck's going on? Oh no, you can do more, there's a, shoulda done this as a
dedicated video, it's fine. Yeah, turns out this is
actually a bit better. It's got that you can steam an egg, you can fry an egg, you can poach an egg. It's got a steam tray, you
can do baked beans in it, bacon, all that stuff on
the little frying pan. Oh wow. Oh wow. Okay, it comes with a
measuring cup as well where you fill water into the tray, the frying pan tray base,
and that will warm up the other things to steam and poach. So let's turn it on. Hopefully a light's appeared. Oh yeah, okay so this
is on the heat already, so we'll turn that off
but that's obviously to warm this plate up. And now it's on green? Okay, I don't know what
that means but it's off. And then this is just your heat control for the toaster I guess. Some oil, move that
around with the spatch, oh, better warm it up, then I crack the egg into it.
(cracking) Toast in, egg, that's the
not the best yolk ever, but it'll do. So right now we've got an egg frying. Look at the size of that
yolk, that's amazing. The toast toasting and
the brownie cooling down. Got a bit gourmet, bit of
pepper in there, alright. It's really hard because
I'm looking over it and I'm getting steamed by the toaster and the toast could hit me in the face. Oh my god, scared the life out of me. Alright, that'll do just
purely because I don't wanna, why did I do two pieces, I don't know, I don't want to burn my face anymore. Look, hey, we have fried egg. But look at this, the egg
white is all cooked through, ah ah, aye-aye-aye-ya-ya! That's good, it's a nice
runny yolk on it as well. Mmm, mmm, that's good. Okay, so I've cleaned that out
to my best of my abilities, it's turned up for the moment
and in the measuring cup is 100 mills of water that goes in there. Now I actually really like this thing now, I think it's awesome,
doing that egg was great, but there's so much more
you could do with it, so so far, so good. So this is the steam tray so
you can steam salmon and stuff. This is if you're steaming an egg and you want to have eggs in there. And these are where the poached eggs go, so in these little pockets. And that's just a lid. Hopefully
(cracking) yeah baby. Sit that on top of that and then the lid goes on that. So the water is gonna go
through the steam holes and poach the egg. Alright, let's see what happens. There's not much to report at the moment except for the egg yolk has, oh there's steam coming
up actually, see that? Sort of broken a little
bit but it's all good. The last bit of steam is rising up. Boston's not sure. Now I don't really wanna do
this but I'm gonna do it anyway. Aye-ya-ya-ya-ya, that was hot. Now that is a poached egg? Trying to loosen this thing up. Oh let's just do a
sandcastle on it, ready? Whoo. That's actually looks like
a poached egg, doesn't it? Oh it is, yes! Just the egg. Oh that's good, that's good. (chimes)
The brownie. Which, of course, we
didn't actually end up taking out of the thing and
putting it onto the wire rack, so yeah.
(tapping) I already did loosen it around the sides but by the looks of it, it
might've firmed up again. Ooh, hang on. They do smell good and they're
actually gooey on the bottom, there's very fudgey down
there, which is what I want. On the top you've got that crust, almost as if it's been baked but there is that
gooeyness, that moisture. That's weird, it doesn't, I
mean it's not baked at all, it just kind of tastes like a really, really wet gateau but it works. It works? So there we go folks, another
gadget video in the bag. Don't forget to have a Barrython now, if you're not already on any of the 1,400 plus videos here on the channel. Let us update you, finally, there's a little bit brown
on the plastic knife. I'm gonna wrap these both in cling film, keep 'em in the fridge. Keep an eye on my social media, not only for the gadget giveaways, but to see what the final
results are in a few days. So from Boston and Amy,
thanks for watching. My favourite, although I wanted
the cherry pits to be good and the egg scrambler was just fun, I'm glad we got it to finally work, this toaster thing has actually
got a lot of potential, so all the links will be in
