Just a helpful tip, Pain thinner works just as well if not better than Baking soda(bicarbonate of soda)
Easy peel egg hack. Boil as normal. When you want to peel the egg crack shell lightly and place in cold water for 10 minutes. Finish peeling egg.
I used the 'get the cork out of the wine bottle' one this afternoon on a bottle that had to have been sealed in space. Cork didn't explode out, but I got it out easier.
6:23 Have you ever been in a situation , where you glue your fingers together? Oh, wait... He has a gadget for that.
15:37 Sounds like Top Gun gone wrong. Did you empty the crumb tray beforehand?
Let's face it... the superglue hack was best. Not for the hack itself. (Sorry, Mrs B). I was glued to the screen the whole time. 😁
The way I make eggs now is the food wishes method of soft hard boiled eggs. You add a half inch or so of water to the pan and shallow steam the eggs for 9 minutes, then rinse the pan with cold water and crack the eggs on the side of the pan. Once they are cooled in a few minutes the shell comes off basically in one big piece super easily
@@richardgladish3821 I agree. Paint thinner, nail polish remover/acetone work pretty well
Somewhere Ann Reardon is sensing that someone is trying that popcorn hack again.
I would LOVE to watch Ann Reardon react to Barry Lewis 🤣
Wondering..just for color..could u put food coloring in ur oil then pop?
have you ever been in a situation where your fingers are glued to a nut attached to a jam jar lid?
At a guess I would think that the smoke coming from the toaster is the previously shed bread crumbs falling onto the heating element.
I always completely crack my boiled eggs then put them back in the cold water for about 30 seconds and I find the water gets under the shell and loosens it making it easier to peel. Barry's kryptonite is a toaster and Mrs. B's is now the super glue. 😂
Acetone or acetone based nail polish remover works best. I do it all the time!
Will order some for Mrs B and the girls, they are always using super glue!
@@mrbarrylewis Maybe a hack for next video? (If Mrs B will agree to get her fingers glued together again!)
@@mrbarrylewis and bicarb works as an accelerator, useful if you need to quick set superglue
Sounds like you need to learn to use super glue or use gloves lol
@@mrbarrylewis loctite the manufacturers of super glue recommend the following on their web site to remove super glue from
Skin
1. Soap. Add some soap to warm water and then soak the skin. Once the glue has loosened, you should be able to simply peel it away.
2. Lemon juice. If you have sensitive skin, try lemon juice instead. Just mix 1-part lemon juice to 1-part water.
3. Olive oil or margarine are effective natural treatments. The grease helps to loosen the glue.
4. Laundry detergent. Any brand should do the trick. Just mix ¼ cup detergent in a cup of warm water. After rubbing your skin for about 20 seconds the glue will come off.
Or you can use their own brand of super glue remover
Mrs. B... Bicarbonate of soda is used to make super glue set faster. You dilute it and spray it on for example. The thing with super glue is, if it's stuck between two airtight surfaces it's not going to set very fast because it needs to evaporate the solvent. Works great on fabrics and permeable surfaces like skin
Super glue polymerises through moisture in the air or on the surface it's in contact with, hence why it stick so quickly to skin, it has nothing to do with evaporation.
yea, please don't use Bicarb as mentioned above.
You ideally want Acetone or acetone based nail polish remover.

You need to do some SUPERGLUE hacks. Baking soda sets it instantly and creates plastic filler. Nail polish remover or acetone removes it.

Fir reheating pizza I recommend putting it in a dry frying pan and crisp up the bottom a but then cover it for a few to melt the cheese
Exactly, been doing this since I was in my 20's. I'm 64 now😄.
I’ve never been here for a premier before! Hello, Barrys! ❤ 19:25
Hi sorry, think you joined the premier just before it finished! Hoping to do more of them (well, I do on most new uploads now)
For some reason that flowers painted hammer fits Mrs B perfectly. Lol. It is adorable.
i remember how my old dad opened walnuts, hold 2 in one hand and squash them together using your other hand
That's what my dad did as well
Superglue was developed to BAA-YA-YA-YA up wounds on the battlefields, so yah, it's bound to bind skin. Nail polish remover instead of vaseline to unstick.
Barry and Mrs. B seem like such nice wholesome people :)
The way I was SO giddy when I saw we were back to toaster hacks!
OMG....Mrs B's hammer! Mrs. B singing Bayee Ya! You guys are getting better and better!! Made my day!
Strap wrench works a treat for opening jars lol
Barry, you need to either take the glue away from your wife or buy her a bottle of acetone! XD (acetone dissolves glue almost instantly, but remember to wash your hands after)
Nail polish remover is an acceptable alternative.
@@ticketyboo2456 Nail polish remover usually has acetone in it.
@@markchapman6800 Lol, yes that's why I suggested it...
I was going to say the same thing
@@ticketyboo2456 So instead of acetone she should try acetone? lol
BARRY you superstar my hubby got me some walnuts we went everywhere to get nut crackers n couldn’t find them anywhere BUT now I’m using a hammer on Boxing Day evening 🎉 you’ve made an old women very happy 😊❤😊
Thank you, just spit my drink everywhere when mrs B got stuck again that last time 😂😂
Omg!! I've got that hammer!!! The little one with the flowers! ( And the screwdrivers) got lots of tools but this is downstairs and I use it often.
I have a toaster OVEN and that does a great job of heating up cold from the fridge pizza. But then again, it is a horizontal toaster to begin with. And yes, some times bits fall off and burn at the bottom. But a toaster oven is designed to be cleaned when you do that. So get a toaster oven and life is good.
For hard boiled eggs. I always hit the top and bottom of the egg on the bench to give it a little crack and then roll it. Which leaves little cracks round the outside. That's they way mum has always done it and it always works for me.
It's funny that just 2 days ago myself and my 3 grown sons were trying to get a pickle jar open. They tried brute strength a couple of days before and failed, giving up. I arrive 2 days later and we try again. Finally used running hot water over the jar and rubber gloves. Never thought about gluing a bolt to the top and using a wrench. LOL.
Turning the jar over and smacking it against your hand works for me.
@Emily Goodenough did that too. It didn't work. Lol.
if your eggs are sticking to the shells as you peel them you can just crack the whole shell around the egg and use the end of a tea spoon to put between the skin thats under the shell and the egg itself and slowly work your way around the egg it peels really easy then as you separate the skin from the egg
Sounds like a potential future hack!
@Barry Lewis ...well you cracked the hardboiled egg on the edge of a bowl to peel; you shouldn't crack a raw egg on an edge like that either. I suspect you have no idea what you're actually doing, which I guess could be a point that you could have but never made in my first and last viewing of your channel.
@@ReddFoxx1562 You have picked up on the point of this channel! Barry is a person who taught himself to cook at home through trial and error and filmed his journey. These kitchen hacks are no different - an average person trying what they've seen elsewhere at home. The bonus is, we in the comments can help educate him and other viewers as different topics, skills, and tips come up :)
@Amy Thornton I do not like that, then. If somebody who doesn't know anything about cooking wants to see how these things will work as someone who knows nothing about cooking then they could literally just do it themselves. Most people watch this type of content in order to see somebody with some prowess explain why it does or doesn't work.
@@ReddFoxx1562 That's an interesting perspective. I personally appreciate someone who isn't an 'expert' giving things a go - that is after all what the hack videos are trying to do, get you to try something they put up (well, that and share their videos!). As a non-expert, the hacks should work for you. If they require specialist knowledge or skills, then they aren't useful to the everyday person who they are aimed at.
I appreciate if you want an expert's opinion, in which case this is not the channel for that. Maybe try Anne Reardon if you haven't seen her already 😊
Barry: "Note to myself: Never give Mrs. B. super glue again."
I use my toaster to reheat leftover pizza. BUT i put it on top and on the roll holder ("Bread Roll Warm-Up Rack"?)... Makes it warm it gives it a nice crunchy bottom.
While looking for a video to watch I literally just thought "Let's watch Barry... wait, I already watched all recent uploads." when I scrolled down and the first video YT shows me is this one, yay! 😄💐
Barry, Love your videos.
You have to retry the Carmel kitchen hack from Kitchen Hack testing 13 three years ago.
You place the can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot (remove the label first), cover the can with water and low boil it for about 2-3 hours. Adding more water as needed to keep the can covered. After about 2 1/2 hours turn off stove and allow can to cool before opening. Then stir the contents to mix.
My favorite use is an easy carmel pie. Pouring it in graham cracker pie shell then cover with whipped cream and chill.
Best way to do hard boiled eggs is the 5-5-5 method using an instant pot or crockpot express type machine.
A regular skillet works pretty well for reheating pizza. It’s limited to 2 slices for even a big pan, but it does work. Spray the bottom of the pizza with a quick hit of oil or non-stick spray. Set it in a mostly covered pan on low or medium-low (depending on your stove strength) & check the top & bottom every few minutes until it’s done to your liking. It’s MUCH better than a microwave (but not as good as a toaster oven).
Mrs. B giving her all for this one ❤
EGG PEELING TIP: Crack the shell completely all the way around, not just the top/bottom (i give em a gentle squeeze or a tap on the counter) and peel them underwater. They peel so much easier and you dont take chunks of egg out with the shell.
That finale reminds me of when Barry tried out that grilled cheese toaster and accidentally summoned Magician's Red. Except this was safer and more successful. And Chloe wouldn't call it milk nowadays, because she was so little back in that video.
My top tip for peeling eggs, before cooking them, you make a tiny hole into the rounder end where the bubble is (there are egg puncher thingies for that to buy too, or I used a tip of a thin knife to carefully poke a tiny hole), and then you submerge the eggs into boiling water via a spoon… this causes the air trapped in the bubble of the egg to escape and pulls the membrane slightly more taut towards the eggshell. Once cooked, you just crack them all around and it easily peels off. Honestly, if you punch it correctly, there’s no problem peeling them, EVER.
About the eggs -- I start with boiling water and put the eggs in, bring it back to boiling quickly, then time 10-12 minutes (depending on how hard you like them), then put them into cold water. Sometimes I get a cracked egg, but they peel a lot easier.
12:08: "Ayyyy! You still got the stick in there!"
Dear Barry, I wanted to thank you for the video cameo I received from my partner "squishy" for Christmas. It made my day so much to the point I cried! Happy tears I promise! I adore you, your family and of course your videos! I really hope we get to meet one day. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas and happy new years! All my love, Stephanie xxxx
A better "hack" than gluing a nut to your bottle is using a rubber strap wrench. You can get them in most hardware stores, and honestly I've used mine more opening bottles and jars than removing oil filters.
I usually tap around the metal lid on a corner, very carefully, to make air go into the container. After that happens, you can open the jar.
Mrs. B's "Oh, no..." contained the collective dismay of every homemaker who's ever had to clean up after a boy's hobby.
It's a shorthand way of saying, "You know I love you, but this is why I have the fire brigade on speed dial."
🤣
Tip for peeling boiled eggs, smash the side on the counter and roll away from you. Then proceed to peel, much easier and often pulls away in 2-3 pieces.
Did those words come from Mrs. B? Impressive! Kidding. Rubbing alcohol or fingernail polish remover really helps with getting super glue off skin.
Just before the walnut shell hit Becky’s face I was thinking “they should have safety glasses on” 🤣
I crack walnuts with my hands. Just squeeze two together so that the seam lines are next to each other. They will crack.
You know it's going to be a good video when Mrs B can't stop swearing 🤣
Loved it. #1 guys👍👍
Merry Christmas to your lovely family.. Big kiss to the pugs too😘
Love your hack videos
I got a jarkey after watching that gadget video way way back, and it works wonders on opening jars 😄👍🏻 good since I don’t have a glue-gun 😅
The jar key is an awesome gadget! You can actually 3D print them too quite easily so maybe in 20 Years we will all be doing that!
Very fresh eggs are hard to peel.....it is that simple. For easy to peel hard boiled eggs, buy them a week before you want to use them. Keep the really fresh eggs for baking, poaching and frying etc.
Sliding a butter knife under the side of a jar and lifting the handle slightly til you hear air hissing then Pop works too.
Lol at wasting perfectly good lugnuts.

But remember do it ASAP don’t leave it on
Mrs. B. discovering why safety goggles are important.
10:54 it’s much easier to grab two walnuts, squeeze them together at the seam. Pop. One will split.
When you realize instead of gluing a nut to the top of a wine bottle lid you could've just tightened the wrench around the lid and opened it without the nut glued on top 🤔😏
And for the jar you could just use the wrench to lever the lid up until it pops.
I genuinely do this to open lids (using plumbing pliers for wider lids).
We were taught to use a little bit of acetone to remove super glue on skin. It works but I'm not sure if that's the best method haha. Also the common type of toasters we have are oven toasters rather than the pop up ones, since it's not common to have full sized ovens from where I'm from & it's more multi-functional I guess.
Pop-up toasters are pretty whack as far as kitchen appliances go because they only really have the one use. Toaster ovens for the win!
It's really easy to crack walnuts just with a hammer without shattering the whole thing.
Take a light to medium light hammer with a fairly small head, ans gently hit along a line perpendicular (from the top/bottom not the side) to the line going around the walnut.
You should get whole walnut halves that aren't broken.
I find that my countertop convection oven is the best way to reheat pizza.
omg Mrs B getting stuck to... everything properly cracked me up
The ideal thing to use to get super glue off your fingers is nail polish remover. Specifically a kind with acetone in it. It's a solvent that'll dissolve the glue (though it will also dry out your skin, so only use as little as needed).
My favourite hack was how to get super glue off your fingers . brilliant 🤣
I often use a spanner in the kitchen to open or whack things ;) the spanner lives in the kitchen drawer
Instead of misusing a pop up toaster just buy a toaster oven that can both toast your bread and reheat your pizza. In my opinion a toaster oven is actually the best way of reheating a pizza and is better at toasting bread in the first place.
As for the spanner and gluing a nut onto lids, I just always have some channel lock pliers in my kitchen. I can't do big jars with them, but they work great for whenever my vegetable oil bottle decides it wants to be difficult. And since the pliers have teeth to grip the cap directly no need for super glue or a nut.
Great video as always guys :) The walnut one was the best, I think my local squirrel Cyril would agree, I get those walnuts in the shell for him and watch him frequently break them himself or bury them in the flower pots! 😄
For the egg peeling, punch a hole in the wide edge where the air bubble is, boil with anything acidic (even vinegar will work), soak in cold water and it peels well.
Use a pressure cooker shells come off like a dream
Every time they say "have you ever been in a situation where..." I know it's going to be fun! And some of these gadgets and hacks work well when you have limited mobility
You can use a walnut cracker way easier to open jars or bottles haha. At least what Ive learned. 😆
Interesting! How would you use a walnut cracker on a jar?
@@mrbarrylewis Because the ribbles on the walnut cracker holds on to the lid and doesnt slip if you hold it tight enough. There are occasions where the lid is too wide but it works relatively well.
Ofcourse the automatic jar opener is a superior method. Or you make a gap with a fork or knife under the lid to loosen it. 😅
For removing shells of hard boiled eggs, tap them a flat surface then gently roll the egg while still applying some light force, then it will peel off almost as one
For hard cooked eggs, I put a tablespoonful of vinegar in my boiling water. My son learned that when he was a chef.
LOL!! Okay - no more super glue for Mrs. B and no more toaster hacks for Barry. Tip - use pliers to open a stubborn champagne cork. I just start it and then hand twist off with a towel over it, to catch the cork.
Yeah, that "n" was so immediate from Mrs. B with the coliflower because it's the truth who would ever sit there breaking the cauliflower part with an apple corner that you have to dangerously place your hands near the blades to get the core back out and then you could just cut the cauliflower with a knife or genuinely break it with your hands like Berry was doing
Great video as always! One little tip about the walnuts, is to get two between your hands and just press them against each other. They open VERY easily, you need almost no strength to do it :)
This can lead to lacerations and splinters or other puncture wounds if not done very carefully. Which is why tools were developed.
Had high hopes for that egg hack ☹ immediate dip in ice water after cooking usually works like a charm though
Salt in the cooking water seems to help too
Stubborn lid, gently tap lid centre being very careful, with a rolling pin/spanner anything to hand just a few times, and hey presto! It’s never failed for me. 🙂
Using Becky's "Bya" as the new version of Seal lmao
When I was a kid, we used to crack open Walnuts by placing them behind a door and pushing back the door till you hear a crack😅
One of the best tips i got for peeling eggs is that before you cook em make sure they are at room temperature it really does work
I usually crack the eggs shells when still hot, and pour cold water over it(at least twice) and the when they cool down, they peels awesome 👍
For super glue removal use some acetone just like you would remove nail polish.
Hack for boiling eggs, make a small crack into the shell prior to boiling, the water will seep in and separate the shell from the egg.
Pizza hack, use an air fryer.

I have a pair of pliers in my kitchen to open small cap bottle and jars and a spoon opens all the big jars, better than waiting for glue to dry
I laughed so much when mrs B got stuck again at the end😂 merry Christmas to you all
Mrs B, the superglue issue at "hand' can be easily and fairly painlessly solved with hand sanitizer. The alcohol in it breaks down the glue, and it's usually not as drying on your hands as using just rubbing alcohol.
Best way to open walnuts is two together in the palm of the hand. Clench your fist and squeeze together. Thanks for the vids and Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. 🎉
That cauli thing was actually nice.. it’s a good hack to get smaller pieces quickly
The lemon and eggs did work for me
Merry Christmas and I hope that you will have a Happy New Year.
Thanks
Acetone, aka Nail Polish remover, works to loosen the bond of superglue.
I think the egg one might originate in the USA. There they process fresh eggs by removing some of the outer layer of shell, hence their need to refrigerate them. Maybe the lemon hack is more successful with the thinner shelled American eggs.
Easy tip for getting the shell of your boiled eggs: pierce the shell with a pin, a needle or whatever before boiling! A lot of households in Germany have an egg piercer in their kitchens for this
I usually put vinegar in the water with eggs because I heard it makes them easier to peel. Like the lemon juice it seems like an old wives tale.
The easiest way to open a walnut is to insert the point of a sharp knife into the join at the 'rounded' end and twist it. Saves shell pieces going everywhere.
If you use special toasta bags you can actually reheat pizza and cook things like scrambled eggs and baked beans. And toasted sandwiches.
😂 Have we not done the pizza in the toaster before?
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that. I was like, “i’m sure he has tried this before.”
Officially need more Mrs B v super glue footage. 😂
For the eggs, put baking soda and salt in with them. They peel super easy.
To open a jar use the bottle opener on a tin opener which breaks the seal making it easy to open
Had an awful day and this video was the perfect thing to come home too.
Thank you again Barry for a quality video once again!
Hope your evening goes better than the day!
I don't know about bottles, but with jars, just stick the tip ofa normal knife under the side of the lid and twist it slightly. The lid will pop and open easily. And it doesn't ruin the jar.
As soon as I saw this, I wondered about a egg hack.
To crack walnuts easy, take a small pointed knife and place in the hole on the large end twist. Pop apart.
Frozen nuts work faster.
