Canadian here...why do you use a tub in your kitchen sink? That's what the sink itself is for?
In my opinion for the bagels you should have put a top on the pot to keep them submerged! Something to keep in mind for next time :)
Will it chocolate fountain?... jalapeño peppers, sushi, frozen banana.
For your "will it chocolate", you can try pizza rolls, different types of chips, different types of cheese and meats. Hey, curiosity.🤔
My chocolate fountain curiosities are chorizo, PBJ samich,cantaloupe, bacon, crisps,pound land sandwiches,roasted potatoes
Barry, you're supposed to put your fruit into the cascading chocolate, not dip it in the bottom! Lol!
I know! this annoyed me more than it should have, me thinks
That annoyed me too!
Actually you're supposed to just dunk your face in after a long hard day. LOL
@@mrs.thomas-usmcwife5686 Lmao!! That works too!!
Barry thank you for doing these, I have arthritis in my hands and because of you I'm still able to prepare and cook food with the help of a lot of these gadgets! Keep up the great work.
I can relate, as I have fibromyalgia and often find it hard to grip when using a tin opener so have to rely on an electric one.
Yep RA here, hands listen when they want.... i also drop alot lol
@@hollygibson628 yeah they just seem to have a mind of their own don't they!
I have fibro too so find gadgets like these can be so helpful x
Cerebral Palsy here... Ended up with my FAVE can opener because of Barry!!
If Barry manages to use a gadget correctly / make it work.
Then it might just be a well designed gadget
Barry proof
As a New Yorker, and a former bagel baker, I really want those witch hats for my home. I disagree with how Barry used them, but they look fairly handy.
I can’t believe he didn’t just flip the hat in the water instead of putting it on another….it has a little tip and everything…
OK, the little Ashens “hulooo!” got a big chuckle from me. :-D
Same here!
100% !
"So even if I get a Chef's Excellence spoon..."
"...hello!"
Love the Ashens soundbite! 😂
Barry! You're supposed to put the chocolate fountain foods under the waterfall, not dip them in the bottom! You're contaminating all the chocolate with pickle!
Why get a chocolate fountain to just dip into the pond at the bottom? Could have just used a bowl
He's a bit clueless some times.
Well it does also keep the chocolate liquid as well
Clueless...but authentic and spontaneous, haha. I actually prefer youtubers like him more, than others who strive to perfect everything so they won't get criticized by online commenters.
Ysll know he does it so people comment about how he's doing it wrong. Its a way to get more comments. More comments=more time being pushed up on your feed. Its a TH-cam algorithm trick.
A lot of tubers do it. Like mispronounced words or missed words etc...
Its all a game for the algorithm 😅
I really wish you would read instructions properly Barry; from the manual: "When the water is boiling, slightly submerge the moulds for 8-10 seconds." NOT 2 MINUTES. That's why they float, because you're only supposed to dip for a few seconds and take them out. The purpose of the baking soda is to kick start the maillard reaction to help it brown. Alternatively you can use sugar for the same effect. Also, Bagels aren't supposed to be crusty until after you toast them, they're supposed to have a smooth soft finish.
He did use sugar. But I was thinking there also might have been to much air in that dough. He might have punch it down but I didn't see that.
@@carveylover you've missed the point
@@tallha11 ok. What was the point they were making. I thought I was just responding to a comment but I guess there was a point to be made. So, what was that point.
@@carveylover First of all. Simmer down, you're speaking in double negatives.
@@thrilhous lol right?
Chloe: "I'm a Harry Potter megafan!"
Golden Snitch on her shirt (in Snape's voice): "Obviously..."
'You just take hold of Santa's bum and plunge in'
Whatever floats your boat, Barry.
Mr. BARRY... I just watched a video where they took a recipe and put it through 20 different languages into google translate and then tried to make it. I think this would be so fun for you and Mrs. B to do. She picks and translates and then you figure it out without her giving any hints 🤣. That made sense in my head hope I explained it 👌 🤦🤣
Love the idea 💡 I hope he sees it
This would be loads of fun!
I think I mentioned this as a concept in a video not so long ago, will definitely try it
Carl, are you talking about Brandon? 🤔😂😂
@@mrbarrylewis I don't know if Carl is meaning the same person I've seen do it, but IMBRANDONFARRIS is the channel of the guy I've seen do it... Do it Barry!! It's pretty damn funny! 😃😂😂
Adding baking soda to the water assists with browning, not the rise. Also works well with proteins that have difficulty in browning, like pork and chicken.
Whenever I've done it at home I know that baking off the baking soda to change the pH has produced some good results. Would have loved to see Barry do a side by side with just making bagels normally
Yes, I found that out one time when I was frying up a batch of sesame chicken and ran out of baking soda. They looked terrible lol
Thank you for all the casual inclusion of disabled folks, its so nice to hear you think of us and mention how accessible the gadgets are every time. I cant explain it but it warms my heart every time
Id like to see one of your girls trying to open the jars with the tools. Your strong hands are not equal to my arthritic hands. I look forward to the "will it chocolate fountain" episode 🧀🥦🍤🍺
Have Ashens bring over some random foods without telling him they will be dipped in chocolate. could be a winner
I dont think a healthy 12 year olds hands are equivalent to arthritic hands either. Epicurus has a test where the dude coats his left hand in oil. I think that would work better
@@DimT670 that sounds harder!
With the bagel "hats", try squeezing the cone whilst the bagel is underwater , this should force the the air out and make the bagel submerge enough
Science!
Or poke a hole in the cone to let air our than squeezing it.
or cut the top off
Was trying not to damage the items.
Has anyone just said put a lid on pan yet !!
Barry why didn’t you just put the lid of the pan on top of the bagel holders to push them down? 😂
Is it because there is air inside the hat portion? So poking a small hole in the top might work to help it sink.
Isn’t the purpose of a chocolate fountain that you hold your strawberry in the flow of the fountain? And not to dip it at the bottom?
He made a joke about a cigarette lighter fondue right before getting the strawberry and mentioned fondue again in the bonus scene. I think he has confused the two.
yes. Yes it is. Barry fail.
20:48 "I think I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day" made me laugh out loud unexpectedly.
I love how oddly so many of the gadget had the same green and white colour scheme 😂
yes lol
First thing I noticed when@@mrbarrylewis used the knife cleaner and pointed out the old set he had kept. Made me think it was good the company had decided to stick with the same colours, though now that you mention it, it was mostly the same colours repeated this time.
Yeah, they generally have this white/green or dark grey/light grey combo for their products
My mum's got arthritis, and she had a jar opener similar to that one mounted underneath the top cabinet. That way she could use both hands for leverage.
I feel like you could remove the top of the witch's hat (like with a pair of scissors or something, I dunno) and get them to sink, looked like they were just floating because the center held air when you dunked it in.
Good idea
exactly my thoughts as well. You might get away with just tipping it on the side and/or pinching the top of the hat to let the air out.
it seemed like even when the hat was pushed down, the dough was still on the surface, so the dough itself seemed to be what was floating unless I was seeing wrong
Or perhaps you could push the middle part in, sink it into the water and then let go. Then the middle part should fill with water and help it stay submersed, assuming the middle is also soft silicone
@@Ironslayer92 pushing the middle part in and sind it could be a bit hot in boiling water... 😁 - I would just make a hole in the top, so the air can go out and the whole thing sinks...
Witches Hat. Put another one over the top of the loaded one to create a sandwich and add rigidity.
Push both together under water. It'll still cook through the holes in the top one.
Fountain/fondue suggestion for you: Have you tried chocolate-coated salt and vinegar crisps? They’re strangely compelling! 😁
I've heard of a company that does chocolate dipped Monster Munch too
The pickle fork would be better off stored on a fridge magnet, rather than having to angle it into the fridge when it's hanging off the side of the jar like that.
The Bagel will always float because there is air in the dough, you're still gonna need to flip them over. with the Witch's hat, you might be able to execute a sort of "Dunk, Pull, Flip" kind of thing, but you're still gonna need a spoon or something to pull them out at the end of the boiling step. Another positive is that having the bagel rest on the Witch's Hat does help it keep it's shape, as it is easier to go straight down, though, a large, round metal skimmer would do the same thing, and is more useful around the kitchen.
“Ha he ha hoo” loving the sound effects in today’s video
I love that Barry is amused and pleased with a folded over scrub brush. It is so endearing.
There's a similar kind of jar opener to that one that I've seen before that I think might be better. It's called the EZ Off Jar Opener. You can mount it to the bottom of your upper cabinets so it's always out of the way, but available whenever you need it, won't take up any space in a gadget drawer, and since you use both hands to push and turn instead of one, it'll probably be better for people with grip strength issues.
The baking soda in the water acutally helps the bagels brown easier. The alkylne soulution causes the surface protein denature and imporove the color.
Isn't this the same process as pretzels?
@@BenQuigley Yep.
16:05 Okay, I need that! I HATE doing dishes, especially with a sponge cause I'm always worried my hand will slip and I just hate touching left over food so that brush would be a blessing!!
haha that suttle "hello" 😂😂😂
I honestly thought you were supposed to let the chocolate fall on whatever you want to cover in chocolate
You are. But, this is Barry’s way
Run gravy through the fountain! Lots of things can be dipped in gravy
I’m so ready for a Barry/Stuart video!
Will it fountain? Gravy, Nutella, traditional English breakfast
Barry, I love your channel! I first found you on a gadget review, and your thoughtfulness about people who may be helped by a gadget was so lovely. I also love that you’re willing to test things out and get it wrong so we can see how easy/difficult it is to use.
He didn't even fondue. Might as well have gotten a plate with melted chocolate on it.
Legit question - what's the difference between holding it under the chocolate fall and dipping it into the pool below?
@@laerin7931 Mainly the satisfaction, but also he struggled to coat items due to how shallow the plate was. If he just used the chocolate waterfall to his advantage they would be way easier to coat.
Pickling: a method of food preservation that negates the requirement to chill.
Barry Lewis: keeps pickled food in the fridge.
I really appreciate your disclaimer before the videos that some gadgets that might seem dumb, can actually be very helpful for certain people with disabilities or injuries
The bagel butt plugs seems like the type of gadget that would only be used once and then totally forgotten about
Hello fellow leftie!
I love how you review gadgets. You really discuss your process to using them which is very helpful. As someone who cannot easily open jars, knowing you had to push and twist with that one jar opener gadget would make me unable to use it.
The best jar opener is when you hit the lid on a hard counter all around the surface and it'll pop right off when you twist it
Glad it was you who tasted the bonus scene rather than an unsuspecting family member. That cauliflower gadget was definitely the sleeper hit of that video.
Your reaction to the chocolate pickled onions reminds me of the time Ashens had you try out of date Cheese and Onion crisps.
But more seriously all of these gadgets seem great!
I have a jar opener like that and it helps me immensely. Small hands and limited grip strength makes opening jars difficult
I have osteoarthritis. I found a jar opener that looks a lot like a strap wrench mechanics use to remove oil filters from car engines. Works great.
But for the life of me I can't remember where I got it...
Perfect timing I just finished watching all the gadget videos from both playlist last night. 😁
A barrython, did u have ur headband on? 😀
Here's an idea for "Will it fondue", a ball of sushi rice! Try it, honestly! It's awesome! ^_^
Hey there Barry! From New York here(arguably the Bagel Capital,) and your bagels look pretty darn fantastic! Not dark at all, could even go a little darker depending on taste! Also, as far as I know the purpose of the bath before baking is specifically to add the baking soda to help the bagels brown and get a super snappy crust. Keep it up mate!
The happy dance when the fountain worked was the best.
"I'm going to regret this" of course but you still did it. I couldn't I hate pickles.
The best jar opener I've ever tried and I've used for over 10 years now is the one that's like a hook bottle opener. It's acrylic plastic and just fits under the lid, you push down slightly and it breaks the pressure seal. Works every time and the lid easily. The only thing it doesn't work for is actual screw top lids.
Holy macaroni- started my Barrathon a day and a half ago and have watched nothing else since. Can’t believe I’ve made it to the end of the playlist! Now to start the next. Thanks for the endless entertainment, so glad I found your channel!
Bruh, those bagels look ah-may-zing!
You had my kids chuckling with the cauliflower bouquet throw lol
At some point there needs to be a live stream gadget test marathon where Barry clears out an entire box of gadgets
Tips on running a chocolate fountain:
1) As you Brits would call it, the washing up after you're done with the fountain means using a fair amount of paper towels, because, as we all know, chocolate likes to seize when it hits water.
2) Rather than pouring the chocolate in on the side, I've always found more success pouring it over the tower, with the motor running. With oil added in to your chocolate, you should have no problems
3) You know you have enough chocolate when you have all levels flowing a solid curtain of chocolate. The entire idea is to hold whatever you're coating in chocolate in the curtain, rather than dipping it in the pool. The reason being that the curtain is more gentle, while the pool dip could cause pieces of food to break off and sully the chocolate, possibly clog the pipe.
4) It's not limited to chocolate. You can add brown sugar, caster sugar, honey, or golden syrup to creamy peanut butter and have a sweet peanut butter fountain. Just know that you will have to heat it a little beforehand, just not as long as the chocolate.
5) You can also use the fountain for cheese sauce, gravy, or anything else that's a smooth sauce. I once saw one at a ritzy brunch that was cascading hollandaise. Amazing.
Yes, I have done this before. In university, I was part of the student leadership, hosted a lot of functions, made sure to use some of the department budget to level-up the quality. And then other departments all wanted to borrow them. Good thing I had them label-etched, or they'd get lost in some cupboard in the uni board's office or something.
Love the ashens hello with the spoon
it's so fun watching these kinds of videos...well all of your videos. I have one of those jar openers similar to that one but without the hole. I got mine from Pampered Chef here in the US. I love it I've had it for many many years.
I have the caddy and the knife cleaner!! Me and my house mates love them!
Barry:
Me: 🎶Shape your bagel playahh🎶
I'm going to get that blade brush! A few years ago I washed the blade from my food processor and through a momentary lack of concentration I sliced through the sponge and severely cut my index finger. It needed stitches but a surgeon had to double-check that I hadn't completely severed the nerve. Thankfully I've got most of the feeling back in the end of that finger, but I'm still conscious of that accident whenever I wash a blade now. Having that additional hard plastic protection from that blade washing gadget would be a great help.
I would love to see more dish washing gadgets if you have any. As I get older my hands struggle to hold the wet dishes.
Why did you get a chocolate fountain just to dip stuff in the pool and not the fountain? lol
Nice to see homer out! He’s not being around recently? 🍩
He's been on holiday lol
People normally complain when I get my homer out
Next time you could try putting the saucepan lid on when boiling the bagels. That might hold the wizard hat thingie down under the water 😂
4:27 cheeky ashens “ hello “ in there 😂
Will it chocolate fountain is a great idea, heres a few suggestions. Greggs sausage roll, bacon, foam banana and shrimp sweets, cheese (any kind), boiled eggs. Hope this helps.
Found FOUR(!!!) gadgets to add to the wish list! Thanks, Barry!
I have the bagel cones and for me they work well. :) But I boil them in a bigger pot of water and with some tongs.
How many poppy seeds on your bagel? Barry: Yes 🤣
Hi Barry, love these video's ages ago I watched one where you used a gadget to make pastry ( handle with semi circle blades ) this tool is also excellent at breaking up boiled eggs for sandwiches.
Aint nothing like coming home from 8 hours of immunising for covid and finding a barry lewis video to watch whilst eating dinner..highlight of my day! thank you so much!
The Ashen’s hello made me happy
My
Mom has arthritis in her hands and uses the jar opener. She said it’s a life saver. I’ve actually used it to unstick mail polish bottles.
Ashens would be proud of that star wars reference 🤣
I love that you have smeg in your kitchen
The baking soda in the water doesn't make them rise more, it makes them chewy, salt too. It is what makes it a bagel. Real bagels use a stronger base (what the baking soda is) that is basically what you get when you bake baking soda. Such is used for such things as pretzels, ramen and others.
My brother in law had a big fancy chocolate fondue fountain for his 21st it was fun, everyone loved it and it tasted delicious to boot
Liked the cauliflower cutter thing
Eeekkk Barry get those tinned beans in a container, no storing open tins in fridges.
Looking forward to more collaborations with Stuart! 😄
If your family is like mine, and don’t mind the jars of stuff out at Christmas time and other big gatherings, having the pickle prongs on the jar would be a nice thing, since you wouldn’t need a spoon rest.
the OXO jar opener is used daily at our house I think it would be the most welcome gift for a wedding or housewarming gift...
Yes!!! Was so looking forward to this!!!
Omg, I misheard him and I thought he said "here's a picture of the gherkins being pissed" like they were mad the fork was gonna get them lol.
Hi Barry another great video/vlog ~ I find your videos/Vlog very informative. I now live in her rehabilitation centre as I suffer with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and lupus but when I lived in my flat on my own with the carers I used to buy the equipment and tools for people that are challenged in the kitchen,- sending love and hugs to you and your family ~ Xxx Xxx
I worked at a buffet place that had a chocolate fountain about 3 and a half feet tall, our chocolate came in huge bags that we set in hot water for about 30 minutes before pouring in the fountain. It was always a pain to refill and even more to clean.
For the will it chocolate fountain, you should get Stewart to bring some as well... I bet he'd have some wicked ideas for it.
Will it Chocolate Fountain Suggestions: Anchovies, Pickled Eggs, Chicken Nuggets, Jalapeno peppers
That would be absolutely disgusting….anchovies?! That’s just fish guts coming out of a fountain 🤢😂
Mozzarella sticks, chips (aka fries), mini meat balls, fish fingers.
I just realised you’ve never made a giant Milkybar (not milkyway) -- can you do this please?! I’d love to see that
Rice Krispies, my favorite cereal. I see you're a man of culture as well. Cheers!
Maybe putting a lid on the pan for doing the bagels would help?
The exact same item as the Stalk Chop is sold as an ice scraper for freezers. I had to run and get mine to check, and...yep. Exactly same thing.
Ahh I love watching your videos early in the morning, so relaxing. Yes. It’s 4am here and I have school in 4 hours, haven’t had any sleep :,)
Chocolate fountain suggestion: slices of ham. When I was a kid (and wasn't a vegetarian yet), I tried ham and chocolate sprinkles. The thing which surprised me and I still remember to this day - spoiler alert - is that the two flavours existed side by side in your mouth. They didn't mix.
What if you'd steamed the bagels rather than boiled them? Better all over moisture distribution? But yours looked enormously good... literally!
Funny how I was thinking of you a couple of hours ago when I was opening a tin of tuna, which to me can be a nightmare as I have trouble with the gripping required to use a tin opener and our electric one has been playing up lately. This of course made me think of the gadget testing videos.
They float for the same reason they grow when they're proofed, they're full of gas. Of course they're going to float.
For the cauliflower, maybe use a grapefruit spoon? It has a serrated edge. I swear, I never use my grapefruit spoon for eating grapefruit - I've used it to stem strawberries, peel citrus, and even grate carrot, but not to eat with lol.
Used the bagel one for awhile nowm found that if you have enough water in, put an oven glove on and use the middle bit to hold it under the water
Brussels sprout would be a good one to try,might be a way of getting Brussels into people on Xmas day 😂💖😂
