Lets put some viral kitchen hacks to the test! More kitchen hack testing videos on the kitchen hack playlist • We tested Kitchen Hack...
You can find 100's of more fun food videos, recipe steps & ingredients, merch like books & t-shirts plus my own kitchen gadgets on my website barrylewis.net
So what did Mrs Barry & I make of these? Well, I don't think you should be using a whisk on an orange any time soon and melting chocolate can be done way better easier ways, the risk of it seizing (like I think it did the first time) sort of made that a fail. But the food hack with the chopsticks, may mean a few more date nights at a sushi place!

I think the lettuce one was pretty good, can't believe i've not done that before with other things too! Remember we've got the 34 other (& growing!) kitchen hack testing videos on this playlist, have a watch and grab the popcorn! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oMp7qcKBuquwaWQ.html

Well do I remember his adventures in voltage with that grilled cheese toaster. It's a miracle he didn't end up like Marv from Home Alone 2. Still, they handled the marshmallow hack alright. I thought I was gonna have to play Fire Shaman from the Stardust Crusaders OST again, like I did when Barry gave that puny little toaster a good hard British 230V. (it might have been 240V, but the point stands that Barry gave that appliance a proper electronic rodgering)

@@Okurka. In 1994, to remove a perceived barrier to trade between European countries, the European Commission (EC) decided to 'harmonise' the standard UK mains voltage of 240 V and the European standard of 220 V at 230 V. 230 Volts is the nominal Voltage In the UK, the tolerance for our electricity supply is 230 volts -6%, +10%. This gives an allowed voltage range of 216.2 volts to 253.0 volts.

the orange and whisk one is ok but the end part faked, they cut the video where the whisk hit the top and then skipped ahead to where the orange segments were on the out side question is what can you cook inside a sandwich toaster? (NOT including sandwiches) ive done mashed potato, mashed sweet potato, pancakes, eggs, bacon, chicken breast, turkey breast, sausages...

@wildshadowstar Жыл бұрын

If you have chocolate that you want to melt (without a microwave) using the tea kettle and the candy bar is in foil, just place it in a plastic sandwich bag and either seal it up. This would be good as well if you have a bag of morsels and only want to melt a portion of the bag.

@RebelCowboysRVs Жыл бұрын

The orange would probably work with a really cheap flimsy whisk. It needs to be super flexable. The issue with the toaster is its not hot enough. You need to have enough heat to toast the outside before the inside gets hot. To little heat an the whole thing just melts.

@brianhall517 Жыл бұрын

Okay, better way to do smore's. Put them in the oven under the grill. You can fill a half sheet with about 10-12, so it works for a crowd Graham cracker, chocolate, marshmallow and just watch it so you know when it's "done" for you. Put the second cracker on top when done.
