- What? - Ah, you donkey! One, two, three! Oh, look, oh geez! (laughs) (Becky laughing)
- You're disgusting! (logo swooshing) (popping) I can see you. - Ah, well, that was an anticlimax. Hello, everybody, welcome to hacks. If you've missed any of these today at the end of this video, put
on the sweatband, all right? You know that one now? - Yeah, for Barrathon.
- Barrathon, yeah. - Yay!
- Yay! (laughs) - So we're basically
trying out some hacks today like normal just to see
if they are any good. If they're useful, if they're-- - Rubbish.
- Yeah. But today, I think these are
gonna be pretty darn good. Mrs. B.?
- Yep. - To the kettle! Kettle's on. - Was I meant to put it on?
- Yes. - Okay.
- Good work. I know what we will do whilst
the kettle boils, sorry! Apart from standing on her toe, taking really silly Snapchat photos. See that? There you go. These, Mrs. B., what are these? - Whole almonds.
- Whole almonds, not really the top of my nut
of choice, but all right. You can eat them with
the skin on, can't you? - I guess so. - But this hack gets the skin off because if you look at them
they've kinda got the texture of an old person's toenails, right? You can't really get that off very easy. - An old person's toenails? - Well, you come up with something! Anyhow, the kettle is boiled, we're gonna place the almonds in here. Do you wanna pour?
(tapping) So we're gonna submerge
the almonds in that water. Yep, that's full.
- I know, enough. - [Barry] What do you
think is gonna happen? - Look, I can see this one.
- What? - The heat is just getting the skin off. - It's peeling the skin for us, but apparently we have to
let that cool right down to room temperature and
the skin should just literally pop off if it doesn't anyway. - Oh okay, don't fancy
sticking my hand in there now. - But we're also, if this doesn't work, I needed roasted peanuts for another hack. If this works, we'll do that as well at the end for a bonus one. - I could just sit here all day and watch. - [Barry] I could just
look at your fringe all day 'cause you're not looking at the camera. - Sorry.
(laughing) - Was that a Vidal Sassoon shampoo advert? Sorry!
(laughing) - This next one--
- Yes? - We're gonna fast-forward,
no, we're gonna rewind... ♪ Ehh, selecta, re-rewind ♪ ♪ When the crowd say Bo Selecta ♪ Remember that song?
- Yep. - Thanks, great.
- Not gonna sing it though. - No, you do it on your own.
- Great, yeah. Last night,
- Yes. - this happened, cut to that clip. - I got that.
(laughing) - Is that how we do it? We kinda, I don't know, it's
kinda complicated. (laughs) (tape screeching) - All right, Chloe? - Do I need to put one at a time? - We can do two if you want. This is behind the scenes
footage from last night. Chloe is putting the
apples in the freezer. (tape whirring) And then, this morning, this happened. All right, there they are, frozen apples. We've got a bowl!
(drawer opening) You put, why did you put it on... Wow, that is rock hard, wow! (loud tapping)
That's hard. Actually, you were there.
- I know! - You were sat there having your... "Don't you dare film me,
I'm eating my porridge!" - I didn't say that.
- No she didn't. She was like, "Film me," and
yeah, Phoebe was like that. - I was not like that either. - But anyhow, the reason we froze apples was not to annoy Snow White, was it? - It wouldn't be Snow White you'd annoy. - Who would it be? - The Wicked Witch that
dresses as the old lady-- - I don't do Disney, do I? The reason we froze the apples, why? Why do you think we froze the apples? - I don't know--
- And let them thaw. - I don't know any of these hacks. - Go and get the bucket of bowls. Go and get the bucket of
apples, please Mrs. B. - Ah, it's cold.
- It's cold, and it's still cold,
it's been thawing out, that has been four hours
thawing out, you see? The texture of them, they're squeezable. - They're cold, they are. - Apparently, now with this, we can make the best, freshest, nicest
apple juice in the world. It's really squeezy and soft, okay? Ah, you donkey, what
are you doing that for? (Becky laughing) - You were gonna do it to me.
- I wasn't. (laughing) Have you any idea what we're about to do? Actually, didn't I just tell you? (laughs) - We're gonna make apple juice. - We are, apparently--
- How? - You grab an apple,
and we just squeeze it, and what will come out will
be amazing apple juice. - Ooh, I knew that was gonna happen. - Maybe we should have a race,
you have your bowl there. Apparently, you're supposed to crush it. - It's cold though, I'm doing mine-- - Like really crush it up like that. - A bit more ladylike than you. - Look at that!
- What a waste of an apple. - It's not a waste of
an apple 'cause you're getting apple juice, we're
making cider right now! Look, oh, geez!
(laughing) - That's why I'm doing it elegantly. - Elegantly?
- Look at the state of you. - What? I'm fine. Passion, can't buy this.
- You can buy apple juice. - Yes, you can buy apple juice, Becky. - Can't feel my fingers!
- Oh, just come on now. Right, what we're gonna do,
we might as well join forces. See, look at all that in
there, that's amazing. Got a sieve, all right, ready?
- Yeah. And obviously, we're not
gonna go over the top and squeeze loads out of
it, we're just gonna... In fact, you could push down on that - Go on then.
- Gonna break the sieve. - You'll snap the handle. - Ugh, listen.
(juice dripping) (Barry laughing) - You're dropping it everywhere. - Sorry.
(air whooshing) I'm going on really tight
on that glass there, go on pour it in, mate, all
right, this is my sexy shot. - [Becky] And you're
trusting me to pour it in? - [Barry] Yeah go on, get it in there. (Barry laughing)
Yes, look! That is the purest of the
purest of apple juice, and these were Pink Lady
apples, for reference. Go on, go for it.
- Looks good. Hmm!
- Is it cold? Gotta be nice and refreshing, isn't it? - It's nice!
- Yeah? Ooh, it's very orchardy, isn't the smell? Very like you're walking
through an orchard, this doesn't feel commercialised, or
sugarized, or any sort of... It just feels natural.
- Fresh. - Fresh. Oh, wow, that's amazing!
- It is, really good. - You can tell she likes
it 'cause she's like, "Yep, really good, mine!" - But six apples, in that one
little glass, that's a lot-- - But that is 100 percent
natural apple juice, there's no sugars, no additives... Well, obviously, the natural sugars, sh! But that's amazing.
- It's a good one. - Good hack.
- One's worked! Yay!
- Wow, one in 300 worked. All right, told you they were good today. I know I can be a pain
in the butt sometimes, but I actually do loaf you.
- Pan in the butt? - Pain, bread, pain?
- Bread pan? What? - It was a bread pun, (laughs) pain! - Pain, what is a pain?
(Barry groaning) - This, what is this, explain what... We know it's bread, but
this bread is stale, right? (thudding)
- Yeah. - This is a stale loaf,
a baguette, that we deliberately bought two
days ago, and I've left it on this counter side for two days. - Mm-hmm, gonna tell me what--
- You're being uncertain, you're like, "Mm-hmm,"
what do we do with it? - Right.
- What you do (laughs) to make it un-stale is beat
some human on the head. All we need, is a roasting tin. - Thanks. Thank you, I put it in the roasting tin? - Yes, pre-heat the oven,
all right, you've done that. Amazing, so we'll come over
here, and we will fill... This is weird, isn't it?
- What's the purpose of this? - I think it's gonna steam the baguette. - And? - It's gonna make it fresh again. - Oh, okay. - All right, let it get
completely coated though, and then shake it off, Taylor Swift. - Okay. - What are you doing? - Ah.
(Barry laughing) - No, look how full it is!
- That's fine. Ah, now we're both doing it!
- Put it down, put it down, put it down.
(Barry sighing) (laughing) Right, so this bread,
we're gonna get it wet like this, okay?
- Yeah. - I tried not to get--
- Look! - I'm sorry, it's a bit, it's only H2O! And we shake it off a bit, and
let any excess water shake. And apparently, we'll bake
it in our oven, and in about 10 minutes, that'll be as
if it's freshly baked again. - You've gotta bake it in this? - No, you just bake it on
the shelf, so we don't need that anymore, you just bake-- - So why didn't we just
run it under a tap? - Because it needs a bath! - You could have just
ran it under the tap-- - If you want an argument
on camera, I'll give it... Go on!
- Like what's the difference? I thought--
- Don't break my baguette! (air whooshing)
(beeping) - Our oven is going off in the background, and we've left this on the side. It's kinda like a sponge now, it's so wet, and it's kind of disintegrating. - Looks like a giant sponge finger. - It does! Here it goes, so I'm gonna shove it in. Ah, whoo, it's singeing,
can you hear that? - Yes, I can hear it.
- Right. - [Becky] It's fine. - Now, this station here, is a herb. Now, you'll notice basil leaves... I love the smell of them! They've kind of got a natural... In fact, that's exactly
what we're doing there, we've got a natural curvature
to it, almost like a bike helmet for a small insect, you know? It's shaped like the spaceship from the "Flight of
the Navigator" as well. That made no reference
to you at all, did it? - No.
- No, yeah. - But in theory, what we're
supposed to do is we get to chop basil quickly, if you
got loads of basil leaves... I tend to just chuck them
in whole to be honest. But what you can do is use that
curvature to your advantage, sort of to tuck it back in
like it was a minute ago. Okay, kinda like that, so you've got two. "2 Become 1" Spice Girls, and then three. But what you do, apparently,
you get it like that, and then tightly roll it
into a cylinder and finely chop it, and it's the world's
easiest basil slicing. - How many are you meant to put in? - As many as you like.
- Oh, okay. - So we're gonna get it like this, and you tightly roll it up, okay, into I guess kinda like... It's a little bit saggy at the side there, but like a cylinder, and
then you just chop along. Would you like to present your findings to the camera, Mrs. B.?
- Not really chopped. It's like slithers.
- Yeah but you want strands. Don't you? That's cool.
- It is cool. - I think that's a really good one. Look, our basil leaves are like that. - Your chopping skills
are better than mine. - Thank you.
- No, it's good, I agree. - Actually, that is a
nice, quick, easy hack, and I genuinely, I think
that's pretty cool. But like I say, basil leaves,
tend to use it more on pizzas or in some pastas where it just
kind of shrivels up anyway, and sometimes you just tear it. (air whooshing)
Becky, have you ever wanted to eat a mango on the go, like
your walking round like this? - Ah, yes? - We're not gonna do
anything crazy, all right? We're just gonna make the
mango edible on the go. Could be the new trend
like a mobile phone, you've got a mango and
your phone, oh yeah. - Can you eat the mango skin?
- No! So we take the mango,
apparently, and we make a cross, fairly deep in to it,
okay, just like that. That's literally what I've
done, we should be able to... Ugh, no, come on, don't do this to me. - How far down?
- About half way. (Barry groaning) We're supposed to be able, with this, to easily (grunts) just peel it off. - The skin or the actual mango? - The skin you wanna keep the mango, mate. - I know, but--
- That's the good bit to eat. - Who invents these mango hacks? Ooh, like this?
- Yeah! Good one, Superwoman, go on.
- Yay! - All of it or just down
like a bit like your-- - Well, you do it with
all four of your strands. Maybe your mango's better than mine. I mean, that's the only possible excuse. Oh, it looks a bit like
the Demogorgon thing, or whatever it is, from "Stranger Things"! - Oh, it does.
- Look, look, see? - Yay!
- Yeah, and now you're supposed to walk, like
walk towards me and go, "Hi, I just got my mango, how are you?" - Okay.
- Go. (upbeat music)
- Hi, I just got my mango. How are you?
(laughing) - Is that how you normally walk? (upbeat music) - Hi, I've just got my mango, how are you? - Hi! - Oh, it's quite good. - Yeah, there we go, mango on the go! Hey, Becky?
- Yes, Barry? - Lettuce talk about the next one. - Okay. - In a lettuce, there's a spine, okay? I know vegans might wanna
not know it has a spine or whatever, but it's the core, the bum-- - Stem.
- Stem. I saw the video where
someone hits it on its side. Three times, one, two,
three, and they were then able to take this bit out, I
don't know how, and then you can individually, 'cause
you've taken the stem out. That's what we call it, the stem. You can then easily get
the leaves, and your nasty bum bit's gone.
- Really? - One, two, three. That was kinda hard, and then this... No, I watched the video,
and it literally came out. But I'm gonna try and be a
bit more aggressive with it. But then what they could do
then, apparently, was take all the leaves off because
you've taken the bottom out. Oh, look you can!
(banging) (laughing)
What are you doing? - I feel like I'm killing a lettuce! - That's actually worked. You can take off every leaf individually. - It looks like some sort of alien. - This looks like the world's
worst wedding, doesn't it? (laughing)
Caught the bouquet! - Oh, that's really cool.
- It's good, right? All right, I'm bored of
waiting for the baguette. - Okay.
- Baguette a believe it! Shall we get it out?
- Yes, let's get it out okay. (Becky laughing) - I can't believe she
doesn't like the food puns. We gave it another five
minutes, and we turned it over because the bottom, you can
see the line marks in it, it was a little wet there,
but now that feels good. - It smell good.
- Does it? - Ta-da!
- Ah, look at that. - Nice. (knife slicing) - That is actually amazing. It's a bit like that
theory, the hack where we've steamed pizza in the past, with water. Actually, whenever you re-heat pizza, put a glass of water half filled-- - I just realised I was like spreading. (laughing)
- No respond. - Sorry!
- It's fine. Oh, my gosh!
- Nice? - That is so good, that is really useful. Everyone seems to have a jar of Nutella in their cupboard that you just can't-- - Any other--
- Spreads are available. But look, you just can't
let it go, can you? It's like, even the wrapper,
someone's scratched at it like, "I want to get more out of it." So, you can get every last bit, Mrs. B. - Okay.
- Do you know how? - I'm sure you're gonna tell me. - Nutella.
- Careful, that lid's open! - Oops a daisy, milk. Sorry about this, anyhow. - Oh, can you stop? - Hang on, I feel like
pouring milk on your head in a minute if you carry on. Look, see this?
(Becky laughing) It's going in.
- I've just realised, you're showing my head!
(laughing) - It's just like you've really shrunk! - Stop making a mess!
- Clean, Cinderella, clean. Look, there you go, that's
pretty cool already. Now, you can either warm the
milk in a pan and then add it, or as long as you've got the
foil completely off the top, you can bung it in your microwave. - You sure you have?
- Yes. - What's that?
- That's not foil. That's just a seal. Every 30 seconds, we're gonna take it out, and we're gonna shake it
up with the lid on, okay? - Okay. - Teamwork makes the dream work. Has that been two and a half minutes? - It has, been two and a half minutes. - Wow, it's foaming! Oh, yeah, look at the
glass now, is it a bit hot? Right, so the lid goes on. I'm worried that that could
actually expand and shatter in your hand actually, but carry on. (laughs)
- Right, you're that worried! - Yeah, look, can you
see all that Nutella? Oh, wow!
- Did you see that? - Yeah, there's little
bit at the bottom... Oh, yeah, look, that is amazing! - Do you know you're
meant to get 26 servings out of this jar?
- 26 servings? - Yeah.
- Like that's gonna happen. I love the sort of latte
style whipped milk foamy head on the top of it.
- What do we do with it now? - This, I mean, you could
actually just serve it straight out of the jar, like that, but... I'm being careful,
mate. I'm being careful! You just watch.
- Yeah. Oh, nice.
- Look at that. A Nutella hot chocolate, a clean jar. Recycling men are gonna love you. (spray can hissing) - What? (sighs) (laughing)
- It's scalding hot! - Oh, Barry that's disgusting! - What? What did I do, I just drank hot chocolate. - You just spat it all out of your mouth! - I didn't spit it,
that was already there. - No, you'll see when you look
back on this, you'll see, you just went blech, and it all
came out of your mouth, gross! - What? Just feel like I've had a
shaving accident or something. - Almonds!
- Almonds! - Ready!
- Right, we do like to see if they have been peelable,
so hold it up to the camera. - What, an almond?
- Yeah. - No, put the whipped cream down. (laughing)
No, stop it! I knew you were doing that, even before! Ugh, you're disgusting! - You been using that
new shampoo, "Sorry!" (Barry gasping) Look, it's coming off, look at that. Try it, B.
- B.? - I just called you B.,
I've never done that before. I might call you B. more actually. - How did you do it, did you take one that was already half peeled?
- No, just peel it off. There you go, it just
popped out, look at that. - That's clever.
- Wow. - Ah, I like that. - For this next bit, you can
see I've got a Kilner Jar. Went to the shop earlier,
I see the lady, I was like, "I need a jam jar, please." And she took me to the jam
jar section, I was like, "Oh, no, one with the removable disc lid." - No, no, Amy, no!
- Amy, no, no! And I went in the shop, and the lady said, "There's the jam jars," I was like, "Oh, I need the one with the disc lid." "Oh, you mean a Kilner jar!" And she took me to the other
aisle, she had a right go at me I'm like, "I just wanna
be in a jam jar section "because it's a similar section!" - But this morning you said to me, "Do we have any jam jars with lids on?" "No, sorry," 'cause we don't
really eat jam in the house. And then you came back
and said this, I went, "We've got loads of
Kilner jars with lids on." - We wanna drain them
off because for this hack we needed some roasted
peanuts with the skin on. I foraged in three different supermarkets, couldn't find any, but luckily
the almonds have the skin on. And we shake it up, and
the bits should come off. Well, that's a hack
that we've known anyway, so we'll try that,
hopefully, that'll work. Oh, my gosh!
(lid clanking) So we're gonna deposit the
nuts, including the skins, 'cause they're still on there hopefully. We need to get them off.
(popping) Now we're taking this
into the classic lid, so we don't need anything
crazy just yet, that goes on, this goes on, and hopefully, yes! (upbeat music) There's another little
hack if you wanna try and clean out a jar,
and you've washed it up, Little bit of kitchen
towel and a wooden spoon. Now this--
- Lid? - No, this is where it gets a bit crazy. - Okay
- 'Cause we've already done the job, but obviously, ones
where its roasted peanuts, you shake it off, you
would've de-skinned it. That's the idea, okay, so
imagine that you haven't already done the effort
of taking the skins off. Okay.
- Yeah, we shook it up. - Stick this on top, so
some baking parchment. Screw the lid down. Hoover.
(laughing) Yeah, stick that on the
top, but don't pierce it. (vacuum humming) (laughing) You made a whirlpool of
skin, what did you do? You were like doing the
"Gladiators" game show where they burst through the
paper at the end of the show. Becky comes swinging in! - Do you think it's gonna work? - I do, I do, all right. (vacuum humming) (laughing) I don't think that worked, I
love the theory of it though, and it was kind of like whirling around. - Not many shells is there,
look, maybe it did it without-- - You would have seen, all
right, you would've seen. What do you think about that? (laughing)
Don't say, don't say. That was one of my favourites.
- Me too. - This was just fun to do.
- Oh, the apple juice. - This, my friends, was my favourite one. The basil was good, the
apple juice that we've just talked about, the lettuce. - There's a lump of stuff in
there, is that apple or bread? - Oh, God, the bread was good. - Bread was good, I'm
falling off the stool. - She's on the stool (laughs). Right, if you see any other
cool hacks, do let us know for future videos, again, don't
forget to put on the sweatband. Have a Barrathon.
- Barrathon! - And?
