Ok, so these were pretty darn good today! If you'd like to see some other kitchen hacks put to the test, here's the playlist th-cam.com/video/jdKv_PUEL90/w-d-xo.html
For the lettuce one- put lettuce in a bag (you'll want to eat it, so a clean bag) WALLOP lettuce like you're trying to kill the thing, or it owes you money on the edge of the countertop. Open bag, remove stem, the rest is salad lettuce. I did this accidentally, once. Didn't have a bag, smacked it on the counter, and this amazing shower of lettuce bits happened. Exploded.
Please do more videos with your family. I love seeing you doing fun stuff with your family. Maybe do a kids cooking show, something where you make stuff with your kids that show that parents can let their kids help out with the cooking
For the lettuce you slam it stem down into the counter and it breaks the stem off... I do it all the time when we prepare lettuce for tacos... A couple should never play with whipped cream on camera; we all know it Always ends up on the internet!!! XD You've blanched the almonds... of course the skin comes off, but who doesn't eat the nut-skin??? The apple juice is genius!!!
Yep! One good hard "Thwack!" of the core/stem against the counter, and you can easily twist the core right out, then over to the sink for a quick veggie bath, voila, salad for dinner 😊🥗
Yup! Worked a prep station in a kitchen while I was in highschool and this was one of the best tips I picked up in order to make large bowls of salad much faster! It also makes washing/cleaning the lettuce way easier too!
The mangos were not ripe thats why it was difficult to peel, and you must hit the stem of the lettuce to remove it easily. I just love watching your videos especially when you bring in the family.
Mrs B was right about the bread, it is enough to just run it under the tap xD you can also put it on a grill toaster. We also only make the bottom side wet and it also works
To be honest I only know about blanching because I watch binging with babish and in his infinity war episode he blanched hazelnuts. So I recognised the whole scolding thing, and expected them to be shocked in an ice bath instead of just let them cool.
The almond is something we have been doing in Denmark since I can remember xD We use it for Christmas when we make Risalamande. We usually just press on one end of the almond and it pops out. It's a process we call "smutter mandler". Really like that for some reason xD
I do the freezer trick with the apples and I own a cider press. It works beautifully once you've frozen them. This is why here in New England cider season used to occur after the first hard freeze. Now we have freezers so we can do it even earlier! 😺
I've seen the peanut hack with the vacuum, but I think they used a coffee filter instead of the parchment paper. Maybe that will work better??? Great video!!!
wtaching the entire playlist of kitchne hacks from 1 to 37 as i love to see the progress but my god ive been laughing so much! absolutly love the bond you two have , dont ever change
I used to skin almonds like this as a kid for my mother when we were making Chirstmas pudding as Almonds with skin on were not that great in pudding. I used to love it, you would just squeeze and they would just pop out (and sometimes go flying across the counter.. lol)
That 'Flight of the Navigator' reference me realize how old I must be. I saw the movie when it first came out back in 1986. I had a huge crush on the main character, David.
"You can eat almonds with the skin on right?" *Me sitting here having never eaten an almond with the skin off wondering where I've gone wrong...* Also, that's a canning jar. It's used for... canning. In retrospect I have no idea why they call putting things in glass jars "canning."
@@babybenz8872 Yes, they are mason jars, of course. However, the main point of mason jars is for "canning" purposes, hence the generic term for them is "canning" jars.
@@reeepingk I know this, I was just saying what I refer to them as because that's common in Barry's comments people always share what they call certain things where they're from, oops if it seemed I was trying to correct you
I think the frozen apples juice trick could work really well, paired with a manual food mill! I thought you weren't supposed to run water over the bread then soak it. You're supposed to dunk the dry bread into water. But it turned out, and that's amazing! I think Flight of the Navigator doesn't need a reboot, but a sequel. Some of the original characters can come back to reprise their roles these many years later, even! Not once have I wanted to stroll with a mango in hand! Lettuce give you a hint for this one: It supposedly works better if you slam the stem itself onto the counter, not the side of the head of lettuce. I almost never have Nutella, but I want to try Nutella milk now. Also, I think you should try Hazelnut spread-filled M&Ms. They're not filled with name-brand Nutella, but it's basically the same stuff. I thought something might work to speed the almond-peeling process, and then you did it! That last hack just sucks (ha!)
You guys are great! I love being able to watch your happy marriage in action. For the almonds, if the skins were dry they would float into the vacuum easier. (It’s also not good for anything damp to go into your vacuum, breaks the motor)
Oh my god, i love Mrs Barry. Most people on camera put on a character - like your girls play up the cute factor. but Mrs Barry is just so genuinely lovely! Not singing with you and so on. its just so real.
Tons of giggles and some great hacks. If I have a few stale buns I put them in a brown paper bag, wet the bag from the tap and toss the bag in the oven for a few minutes then have fresh buns for tea. Thanks for the laughs.
Also known as 'blanched almonds' - often see the ingredient in older (usually baking) recipes. You can do the same with tomatoes, peaches, nectarines, some plums and other larger fruits that may need peeling
I usually love these videos because of how bonkers you get withMrs Barry. But today you riffled off a Flight of the Navigator reference and then a Spice Girls reference and made my day
Really enjoyed this video. There is something so wonderfully genuine about Mrs B and you both have wonderful chemistry together. This was a difficult day for me but thanks to you I'm ending it with a smile on my face.
Me: Why isn't Barry just running the baguette under a tap? Becky: Why didn't you just run it under the tap? Great minds ;) But it is a great hack. I use it often coz my local baker sells baguettes cheap if you buy 4 of them. Really makes life easier :)
Mrs. B is a treasure and in her defense, I always walk like that when I'm eating a Mango on the Go-Go FYI The Almond process is called Blanching The Basil cut is a Chiffonade. Works great with Spinach, etc. for a fancy salad Bang the Lettuce bottom down and the core should pull right out I love when you do these with the Mrs. and the kids too
This is the most hilarious video of yours I've seen in a while. I love your relationship! I was watching at work and had to suppress my gaffaws! Great video!!
You guys should do all of the videos together (or just a lot more) i just love it that i cant help myself laughing throughout the whole video. Oh yea, i just finished a barrathon of 3 playlists, 1 week ago i didnt even know who barry lewis was.
8:43 lol Mrs Barry i was saying the same to myself 30seconds earlier! 🤣🤣🤣 though Barry's logic checks- "because it needed a bath" 🤣🤣 lol you two crack me up! Love these videos! 😊👍👍
Ok, so these were pretty darn good today! If you'd like to see some other kitchen hacks put to the test, here's the playlist th-cam.com/video/jdKv_PUEL90/w-d-xo.html
Great video Barry keep up the good work 👍

The apple juice is genius!!!
Great video Mr. & Mrs. B. Cracking Flight of the Navigator reference! Haha
I love Mrs B so much. I've never heard anyone get shut down with the words "you can buy apple juice" before, but she executed that perfectly. 😂
Beautiful burn.
Becky was correct, you only need to run the bread under the tap, not drown the bugger! lol
Yup, I’m with Becky on this one
It’s true, My Nan also just splatters water over them and it works that way too.
@@shannon655 yes, my mom used to always splatter a bit of water on day-old bread before toasting it... it's waaaay better than just toasting it
Yep I agree.... Sorry Barry you're out voted on this one 🤣👍
Yep I Agree with Becky
Does anybody else absolutely adore The Barry’s relationship?? They both seem like such fantastic people ☺️💚
They are goals
yes such a cute relationship! literally goals
The basil one isn't really a hack, that's just how you do that - it's called a Chiffonade.
Yepp
I chop lettuce and cabbage that way too.
I thought Basil was the guy from Austin Powers
I was going to say the same thing. I was taught that in the restaurant.
Ok but us normals dont know that. If you have never been taught that then how on earth are we supposed to know.
For the lettuce hack, hit the stem on the counter! It really does work!
It works way better than hitting it on the side. I've been hitting it on the stem my whole life 🤘
Agreed
I came to the comments to say this too you bash it on the stem and it comes right out
Yep! One good hard "Thwack!" of the core/stem against the counter, and you can easily twist the core right out, then over to the sink for a quick veggie bath, voila, salad for dinner 😊🥗
Yup! Worked a prep station in a kitchen while I was in highschool and this was one of the best tips I picked up in order to make large bowls of salad much faster! It also makes washing/cleaning the lettuce way easier too!

It's not a hack, we've been doing that for ages.
Lol he's not from America where some of these "hacks" are common knowledge
Yep, one good hard wack on the stem works every time
Maybe it's because I'm in Queensland Australia that this is obvious but they are crazy under ripe.
Barry: This looks like fun.
Becky: This looks like a lot of cleaning.
Mrs B was right about the bread, it is enough to just run it under the tap xD you can also put it on a grill toaster. We also only make the bottom side wet and it also works
So the "hack" for the almonds is to blanch them?
Was thinking this exactly.. Cooking 101 haha
Right. Sometimes I truly wonder about these.
Hahaha my thoughts exactly!! 😂
WheelchairGamer lol I know right! Anyone who knows what bleaching is is like well yeah...lol
To be honest I only know about blanching because I watch binging with babish and in his infinity war episode he blanched hazelnuts. So I recognised the whole scolding thing, and expected them to be shocked in an ice bath instead of just let them cool.
17:10 the very image of a great marriage, man looking silly, woman looking embarrassed 😂
more Mrs Barry, Barry, she's hilarious
In this episode, Barry discovers blanched almonds and how to chiffonade basil. :)
Lol
Be kind! Learning is fun.
That mango walk edit 😂😂❤️
You two fill my heart with wholesomeness
The almond is something we have been doing in Denmark since I can remember xD We use it for Christmas when we make Risalamande. We usually just press on one end of the almond and it pops out. It's a process we call "smutter mandler". Really like that for some reason xD
Was just about to comment that :D
Love it when you have Mrs Barry as a guest host ☺️ y’all are such a great team
You should put the apples on the blender then strain it. I bet you'd get a lot more juice.
Or, take the remaining pulp and put through a food processor and make apple sauce or apple butter. Use that to make moist, deliscious apple cupcakes.
I do the freezer trick with the apples and I own a cider press. It works beautifully once you've frozen them. This is why here in New England cider season used to occur after the first hard freeze. Now we have freezers so we can do it even earlier! 😺
Wow Edward Shelds didn't know that. Hanks for sharing.
4:19 Mrs.B is so tolerant. If I called my wife a donkey, it would be the last thing I'd ever say.
He also calls her mate 😂 I would be kinda offended if my boyfriend would call me mate 😂
Wtf? 😂 What kind of relationship are you in? 😄
@@liriosogno6762 depends where you live. I know in Australia and the UK, Mate is used on everyone haha
Crikey your wife needs to lighten the hell up mate
If that's so I'm sorry your wife cant take a joke. I'd be miserable if my husband and I couldnt call each other names and be silly
I love how much fun you both had making this one. A real joy to watch
I loved this video! The editing, the humor and you guys have so much joy! Love you guys so much!
I thought blanching almonds to remove the skin is common kitchen knowledge🤓😂 I Love your kitchen hack videos Barry😊
I've seen the peanut hack with the vacuum, but I think they used a coffee filter instead of the parchment paper. Maybe that will work better??? Great video!!!
I was thinking this so the suction airflow can pass through
The reason why I love those kitchen hacks videos so much is because you two goofing around is so adorable
Apple has been in freezer all night:
"Oh that's rock hard"🤦♀️
Barry's overwhelming grasp of complex scientific principles such as 'freezing' are why I love his videos
I’m worried it will
Shatter in your hand ...... Carry On 😂😂😂
Always get the best laughs when mrs barry makes an appearance 😂 she is the loveliest!

"Killing a lettuce!" :)
Thank you for the laugh.
Take care,
Casey
Who needs cable TV when there is the Barry Lewis TH-cam channel?! I haven't laughed so much in a long time!
You both are having way too much fun.... I love it!
All those hacks (except for the vacuum cleaner hack) are exactly what my mum always did and does. I guess mums do know best. ♥
You got the like when Barry did the whip on his face!!! LOVE you ALL!!! Keep the vids coming!
"You can eat almonds with the skin on right?" *Me sitting here having never eaten an almond with the skin off wondering where I've gone wrong...*
Also, that's a canning jar. It's used for... canning. In retrospect I have no idea why they call putting things in glass jars "canning."
Don't worry you can. I was surprised that people even ate them without skin.
I've always referred to them as mason jars
@@babybenz8872 Yes, they are mason jars, of course. However, the main point of mason jars is for "canning" purposes, hence the generic term for them is "canning" jars.
@@reeepingk I know this, I was just saying what I refer to them as because that's common in Barry's comments people always share what they call certain things where they're from, oops if it seemed I was trying to correct you
Love your vids. Always an extra bonus to get Mrs Barry, Pheobe and Cloe as well. Such a lovely family and so much fun to watch
I absolutely ADORE your music choices. Intro music, everything!
Thank you for everything you do.
I absolutely adore the chemistry between Barry and Becky, they are simply wonderful together!
That basil hack is just how I've always cute basil!
It’s always funny when Mr and Mrs B get together 😆
Love your videos, you and your better half have a great sense of humor.
You mango was no way near ripe enough to do that hack! I liked the apple one!
Love the flight of the navigator reference Barry! One of the best films ever!!
I think the frozen apples juice trick could work really well, paired with a manual food mill!
I thought you weren't supposed to run water over the bread then soak it. You're supposed to dunk the dry bread into water. But it turned out, and that's amazing!

That last hack just sucks (ha!)
Hilarious video all round, but it was the Flight of the Navigator reference that made me hit the like button. Great movie!
You two are completely ridiculous.
And I LOVE YOU FOR IT!!!! ❤️❤️
This was one of the *_best videos_* !! You two are such a *_great couple_* !
In México the on the go mango is a thing! They sell them on the street.
Should have subtitled this "two Brits learn to blanch almonds "
I'm not sure the almond one qualifies as a "hack"... All of Denmark does it collectively throughout December. How else would you get the skin off?
So does Germany. I never saw it done differently.
In Sweden too
In Norway too
Why do you peel the skin off almonds, specifically in December?
@@sjjs3189 Because of our traditional Christmas dessert we make, called risalamande 😊
Just came from work and i am so happy to watch this now.
Ms. B: "Your chopping skills are better than mine."
Barry : "Yees, it has paid off! After all this time She's agreed!
These videos are awesome. I find them both funny and interesting
OMG 😂🤣 funniest episode yet. I was laughing to tears. Mrs. B you're a hoot 👍
I love you and Mrs Barry. Such funny videos and seeing Mrs Barry reacting to you when you make a mess but she cant help but laugh!! :P
You guys are great! I love being able to watch your happy marriage in action.
For the almonds, if the skins were dry they would float into the vacuum easier. (It’s also not good for anything damp to go into your vacuum, breaks the motor)
Was not expecting a Flight of the Navigator mention XD nice!
ok is it just me but barry needs to do more with his wife such a great team effort you guy ROCK!!!!
Thank you for this wonderful cute video!
Oh my god, i love Mrs Barry. Most people on camera put on a character - like your girls play up the cute factor. but Mrs Barry is just so genuinely lovely! Not singing with you and so on. its just so real.

I cannot believe the nutella hack ! I have dont this for years. Perhaps I should have put my stamp on this before social media came into play😂
Barry PLEASE make some more mini food videos! I really enjoyed them and would love for you to do it again!
Scarlett Allen omg I forgot about those. With the Pooh bear plate and all.
The look on mrs. Barry's face when you said old person's toenails and she looked into the bag was hilarious
"it looks like the dermo-gordon" 😂
"You Donkey" - Barry is Gordon Ramsay now
You totally need to do more of these together, its fun to watch and she can tell you when you are doing it wrong..
Also known as 'blanched almonds' - often see the ingredient in older (usually baking) recipes. You can do the same with tomatoes, peaches, nectarines, some plums and other larger fruits that may need peeling
I’m the doctors about to get a breathing treatment so glad to see this! This was such a Much needed video
Hope it all goes well
Whats a breathing treatment?
Barry Lewis thank you
Barry Lewis medicine in a vapor you breathe in to help my lugs
I hope the treatment helps ease any discomfort you're in. 💙
I had to replay the bit where the vacuum pierced the paper, too funny. :D
Señor Beans in the backround😂
Always enjoy when the family joins in on the videos! More of this plz 💯
Mrs Barry is my spirit animal 😂😂😂
I usually love these videos because of how bonkers you get withMrs Barry. But today you riffled off a Flight of the Navigator reference and then a Spice Girls reference and made my day
“ because it needs a bath “ best thing I’ve heard in weeks
i liked it as a kid. also watching you makes me think of Arthur Dent with a happy life
Becky is such a mood in this video and I love it
I’m confused; isn’t the basil “hack” just a chiffonade?
Actually pissing myself at the mango walk hahah
Really enjoyed this video. There is something so wonderfully genuine about Mrs B and you both have wonderful chemistry together. This was a difficult day for me but thanks to you I'm ending it with a smile on my face.
I love the mango walk. ❤️😂
Me: Why isn't Barry just running the baguette under a tap?
Becky: Why didn't you just run it under the tap?
Great minds ;) But it is a great hack. I use it often coz my local baker sells baguettes cheap if you buy 4 of them. Really makes life easier :)
Flight of the Navigator was one of my FAVORITE movies as a kid
Mrs. B is a treasure and in her defense, I always walk like that when I'm eating a Mango on the Go-Go
FYI
The Almond process is called Blanching
The Basil cut is a Chiffonade. Works great with Spinach, etc. for a fancy salad
Bang the Lettuce bottom down and the core should pull right out
I love when you do these with the Mrs. and the kids too
You struck gold when you met Mrs. B, Barry. You are one lucky guy :D
I love these life hack videos
They are really funny!
U and mss b are so much fun to watch. Please keep on making these super videos. Big thumbs up
This is the most hilarious video of yours I've seen in a while. I love your relationship! I was watching at work and had to suppress my gaffaws! Great video!!
Best hack video ever!!! So proud of you Barry getting food on your face 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really liked the montage in this video!
I am loving your videos have been binge watching for 3 days now - BTW we always hit the bottom of the head of lettuce to remove the core
my grandma used to do a loaf of unsliced bread with the water and put it in oven while she did a baked dinner every Sunday when i was a kid. yum
Great video as always, loved it! I love the kitchen hack and kitchen gadget videos! Stay awesome 😁
Thanks Emma :)
You both remind me of me and my husband. Except I'm Barry lol
I think you and Becky are a great couple. You are so funny. I really enjoyed this video and learned some really cool tricks. Thanks!!
Hit the Stem of the lettuce on the counter, not the side. Mrs. B is doing a fine job of keeping you in line, LOL
gotta love the "i'm a bit worried it might expand and shatter in your hand but... carry on!" -"alright" :D
You guys should do all of the videos together (or just a lot more) i just love it that i cant help myself laughing throughout the whole video.
Oh yea, i just finished a barrathon of 3 playlists, 1 week ago i didnt even know who barry lewis was.
Lol I cracked up about the demegorgan thing 😂 and then her walking hahaha you two are hilarious
8:43 lol Mrs Barry i was saying the same to myself 30seconds earlier! 🤣🤣🤣 though Barry's logic checks- "because it needed a bath" 🤣🤣 lol you two crack me up! Love these videos! 😊👍👍
