As a kid (I'm almost 37 now!!!) I used to shove the straw into juice cartons past the bendy bit to get it down to the bottom corners to get all the juice, so, it's a thing that's been around for a while, for me at least anyway... :D
That's how I did it and still do, I thought everyone did it that way🤣 In the end you're doing the exact same thing and probably even worse with putting the bended end in the juice cartons the way he did in the video since it'll result in having less straw to drink from.
this is something my mom told me about the coconuts: after you've cracked and split them in half, keep them in the freezer for a day or two; once they thaw after that, the insides easily separate from the outer hard shell. i've tried it a couple of times and it works
That's what I do too! BTW you can easily crack a coconut with a tack hammer, hold the coconut "eyes" up in the palm of your hand (I hold it in a folded towel to minimise splatter) then tap firmly but not harshly around the "sholders of the coconut. The line of the shoulders should crack pretty cleanly.
@@esmeecampbell7396 but... that's litterly the exact way we make soft boiled eggs. We usually leave the water simmering for 30 seconds to a minute befor turning it off though. Those ones came out a bit too soft. Boiling and poaching are simply cooking techniques. Poaching eggs means they are cracked into simmering water. Boiled eggs are put in boiling water while still in their shell. If you want eggs that come out of the shell more closely resembling perfectly poached eggs, I recommend you sous vide them.
@@mustwereallydothis nope, no sous vide required. Obviously if you want get pedantic boiling and poaching are the same, but the two methods cook the albumen at different rates. This method produces the classic soft albumen with a runny yolk interior
I've been trying to avoid watching the new uploads so I can binge watch them all when I'm stuck bored in hospital next week but I can't resist a new hack video 😅
Dear Barry. Coconuts can be opened very easily in less than 30 seconds by using just one tool. Here in the Maldives, every household has one tool in the kitchen that is designated to opening our coconuts. In some homes it's a heavy handled knife with a strong wide blade, in other homes it's a big wrench and sometimes people even use things like heavy iron bars. It doesn't matter as long as it has some weight to it and is durable. Hold the coconut on it's side in one palm (not the top where the eyes of the coconut are, but on the side) and with the tool in the other hand, give it a couple of strong whacks, turning the coconut as you go. If you hit it right, it should break into two clean halves in just a few seconds.
Same with cracking open mud crab claws. Instead of just whacking the heck out if it and having small bits of shell everywhere. A few gentler taps while turning will crack it open nicely and not leave smashed bits of shell in the meat
I know, right? I'm from the Caribbean and my mom has just whacked coconuts open with a hammer my whole life. Then we use a butter knife to separate the shell and meat. It's wild to me how intense they make it seem in the UK.
Grinding a can open should be way easier. You can do it in less than 30 seconds and it shouldn't leak before you can pop the top off. Also it's more a survival hack than a "I can't find my can opener" hack.
It's a common way of opening cans in USA jails and prisons, since can openers of all types are not allowed except in the kitchen. Also it is used by people living rough/homeless.
the cupcake technique has been my go to for a few years now. It is a fun way to eat them and prevents the cream from being the first thing that ever hits the tongue. It leads to a more balanced flavor.
Roommate loves coconuts, we cut them in half and sand the husks off the shell once we've got the meat out. Then we have decorative bowls for keeping keys or pens or whatever. To get the meat out of the shell we just use a stout knift and cut wedges out near the edge of the shell. Then you crack the wedges out with the knife and go further in.
Barry & Mrs B, thank you, thank you, thank you, I have laughed so much at these Hacks videos, I’ve literally pee’d my self several times I’ve had a horrible year, in and out of hospitals, kidney failure, and having a leg amputated to name a few. I found you on the internet completely by accident, and I love you all. You’ve added sunshine and sparkle to my life. I’m working my way through your playlist, daily, just need the sweatband now. Please never change. Thank you xxxx
My kids always teased me for eating cupcakes like that, until some of their friends started copying me. 😁 I'm glad to see that lots of other people do the same!
That's not quite coddling. Coddling is cracking the eggs in a small container (you can add herbs and stuff) that's placed in a larger pan of boiling water while is kept on the heat.
Flight of the Navigator was one of my all time favorite films (the main character's name being David didn't hurt either)! I've been eating my cupcakes this way for years, absolute best way is the sandwich!
Poaching the eggs in their shell is literally the traditional breakfast way of having eggs in Singapore. We just call them half boiled eggs, served with sweet dark soy sauce and white pepper 😆
The thing about poaching the eggs, two or three decades ago, I can't remember when, Delia Smith did a thing about boiling eggs, and she did this exact same thing.
This!!! Onsen eggs are amazingggg! In Japan they poach it in hot spring water also known as onsen in Japanese. They crack it rice or eat it on its own with some flavoring, super delish
The cupcake hack was on TV recently when a presenter went to a bakery who have been making iced buns for 4 generations, they pulled the bottom of the bun off and put it on top to make an icing sandwich.
With the cupcake hack, I've been doing for years when there is to much frosting. As I have a small mouth i think, so it's always helped doing that and I would call them cupcake sandwiches.
To get the last bit out of the juice box. Take the straw out, blow into the hole to create pressure, then tilt the head back and release the pressure. The liquid will be over the hole and the air pressure will force it into your mouth. I thought everyone did that as a kid.
That's how I've done it for years! I'm Aussie so ours are called juice poppas or tetrapaks. Juice box is very American! We also used to blow them up and jump on them so they popped loudly 🤣
Just watched one of your older videos about Mrs B and the cake/cup hack. We used wine glasses several years ago at a bridal shower. It was so much fun and looked like a parfait.
I saw a video a few years ago where it shows that you can also use a spoon to open a can by rubbing it along where a basic hand powered can opener would cut into the can. It takes awhile to do but it is possible. The video explained it far more clearly than I did probably 😁
My latest hack is some £1 latex gloves from B&Q. Super grippy so we use when we can't open a jar. No difficult gadget, we just pop the gloves on and open! Plus heat resistant. 2 in 1 and now live in the kitchen.
We're going to cause a fire. How are we going to cause a fire? I thought to myself with Barry anything's possible, he'll find a way to get anything to catch fire. 🔥🔥😆😆😆
@@zoerobinson9897 Well duh! And I'm adding in my information that it's been around for much longer than a random actor showing it on TV 🙄Seems to still be so many people not paying attention to things cause once something old goes viral, it’s ‘new’ again! 🤦♀️🤣
I saw that cupcake hack about a year ago and now I ear all my cupcakes like that….yum! Love your effort with can opening, if ever lost in the woods with beans- I will eat well!
Barry, you've been bamboozled. That was a vampire hunting kit someone sent you. To be fair, missus B seems to have the raw talent to be the next Buffy the Vampire Slayer. :)
Ya know, the grinding down the sides of a can is a good one to know if you're ever in an emergency situation & have no way to get into your canned foods. Ever since the beginning of the pandemic these potential issues keep me up some nights & one of them is what if the can opener breaks so that hack will actually go very far towards putting me at ease for that 1 potential problem.
Hi Barry I have just subscribed to your channel and I have been watching your videos with a huge smile on my face, you are so funny and your family are adorable. Your simple home recipes are the best and your home hacks are so useful. Best wishes from Pembrokeshire.
We need a Boston 5 course meal video. Also look into getting a Scooby doo cutout. To help you solve your food mysteries! Also rinse bacon under cold water for less grease .
💡Since the fire method worked so well with the coconuts before, maybe you could save that for when you’re barbecuing or using the grill, then you could also grill pineapple & have a whole tropical thing going on. 🤷🏻♂️
tip to open a coconut take a heavy knife hold the coconut in your hand hit the coconut in the center with the back of the knife (NOT THE SHARP SIDE) and rotate the coconut after each hit . The coconut should break in half after a few good wacks
Yes, I well remember when you could buy whole bacon rashers from the butchers. None of this cheaper, water-infused, wafer thin stuff that supermarkets sell today.
hi barry, if you like to open the coconut easy just take a knife and hit it with the back side of the knife around the coconut. that will crack the shell so it´s easy to open. have fun.
I poach eggs in a cup of water, and cook for 30 seconds in the microwave . I wrap bacon iin kitchen paper, and cook in the microwave for a couple of minutes as well.
A life hack me and my mum are baffled at - getting the stone bit out of the avocado. Cut it in half and just push it out from the middle. It falls right out. It’s so easy and simple and you don’t have to hack at it and almost cut your hand in half
That's how Duff Goldman, Ace of Cakes star, ate his cupcakes on kid's baking championship. And the funny part is, he dislikes cupcakes. I remember watching something where he was a guest and the host knew he disliked cupcakes, so he had a package of store bought cupcakes and let Duff destroy them with a weapon.
Hey Barry, We always just put our coconut in the oven to seperate them from their shell. 200° for 15min, then you can easily pry out the flesh from the shell with a knife. Then with a vegetable peeler remove the thin layer of brown coconut skin from the coconut flesh.
I have a sort of bacon hack. Rinse your bacon under cold water before cooking in a pan and the bacon will not curl up and it will shrink less. It does work, but cooking bacon in the oven is fuss proof.
I put emptied intact coconuts in the oven and bake for a bit, I think till it cracks I'd have to Google. But once you take it out of the oven, wrap in a towel and throw on the ground. It splits and the meat comes out very nicely
If you want to make a hole in a coconut shell so you can drink the coconut water, make it in one of the 'eyes' on the top of the shell. It's slightly thinner there.
You can sous vide a poached egg in its shell which is basically the same method as you tried there but more controlled as it’s in the water bath. Super consistent, easy and you can do them in big batches. We do it all the time!

Nice
- Where'd you get the coconuts?
- We found them.
- Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
- What do you mean?
- Well, this is a temperate zone
I saw on tik tok where you can get the white of the coconut out all in one piece on a green coconut. It was cool.
For Coconut 🥥
Pull some of the husk off (as much as possible) & then use a corkscrew (one with the wings) to Pierce a hole the & empty the water
Use back of a heavy knife & tap around the middle & it will split in 2
The place on tray open side down & bake at 210 / Gas 7 for 15 minutes
Leave to cool for 5 & then use a knife to pop the meat out & a vegetable peeler to remove the brown skin & wash under cold water
It will leave you with perfect coconut meat every time 🥥🥥🥥
My auntie is Jamaican & that’s how she’s always done her coconuts & taught me to do it 🥥🥥🥥
Also rather honoured you tried the tin opening suggestion, bit messy, but it is a survival kind of hack... :D
I find it amusing that the cans were pull ring so no need for a can opener. 😎
I actually saw this hack on Bear Grylls few years ago
Might be easier with a power sander, too!
@@whooshboosh Or a can opener.🤣🤣🤣
I think the energy you exert getting the thing open probably makes it pointless
As a kid (I'm almost 37 now!!!) I used to shove the straw into juice cartons past the bendy bit to get it down to the bottom corners to get all the juice, so, it's a thing that's been around for a while, for me at least anyway... :D

Er.... I still do that! 😳
I always put the straw in short end and bend first that gets right into the corner

I thinks it’s because of the expanding and contracting from the temperature
Poaching eggs inside the shell does sound suspiciously like making boiled eggs.
My thoughts exactly! 😆
Definitely different though, try it, they come out far easier.
@@esmeecampbell7396 but... that's litterly the exact way we make soft boiled eggs. We usually leave the water simmering for 30 seconds to a minute befor turning it off though. Those ones came out a bit too soft.

@@chantalhamilton2374 it's just normie white people (I am one too) making things more difficult than it need be.
That egg poaching hack is the best f*cking thing I've ever seen in my life! 😍😂 Cheers Barry!
My favourite hack was folding out the corners of the juice boxes to make handles, such a simple thing I've never thought of.
that poached egg hack is RIDICULOUS, did not expect it to work so well oh my god what a gamechanger
Grinding a can open should be way easier. You can do it in less than 30 seconds and it shouldn't leak before you can pop the top off. Also it's more a survival hack than a "I can't find my can opener" hack.

I have been doing the cupcake hack for over 20 yrs now and I'm now in my 40's.
the cupcake technique has been my go to for a few years now. It is a fun way to eat them and prevents the cream from being the first thing that ever hits the tongue. It leads to a more balanced flavor.
The concrete block is more like a survival hack, if you got a can but no can opener in the middle of zombie apocalypse or something.
I get that, but I wonder... Wouldn't the sound attract wild animals? Or, of course, also zombies?
They were pull ring cans! He he! 😊

All of Barry's hacks worked today?!?!? Truly a sign of the end of days. Good job!
I'm excited because I've eaten cupcakes like that my entire life!
I love Mrs Barry progressively looking more and more distraught at the sight of you grinding down this poor can of spaghetti sauce.
my mum always eats her cupcakes like this.... she was suprised to find out not everyone does this 🤷♀️
I also think it's nicer because then you have frosting all the way. With a regular cupcake you so often have a dry bottom half.
My kids always teased me for eating cupcakes like that, until some of their friends started copying me. 😁 I'm glad to see that lots of other people do the same!
That method of cooking eggs is called 'coddling', and it's been around for literally hundreds of years!
Thank you! I've always wondered what 'coddling' was - as in eggs, not Molly! 🤣👍👏
That's not quite coddling. Coddling is cracking the eggs in a small container (you can add herbs and stuff) that's placed in a larger pan of boiling water while is kept on the heat.
@@radbot1 Oh my, I've never heard that method called coddling! Maybe it's a Cornish thing, we name everything differently down here!

But why does it work? I don't understand what's going on there.

You can also use the block that you opened the can with and use it to sharpen a knife.

thx barry i needed this
gosh i love these! i hope you do some octoberfest food this year some mini party food yummy!
We have been doing that to cupcakes in the states for decades...
For the bacon one, just use a cookie cooling rack on the sheet pan...
Happy Birthday Barry! 🍻🤟💙🇨🇦
I do that with my cupcakes all the time unless its a mini one X'D
But just.....use a fork, lay the bacon on a cookie rack, squeeze the can sooner, but, the vid was still great! Love you both 🥰
tip to open a coconut take a heavy knife hold the coconut in your hand hit the coconut in the center with the back of the knife (NOT THE SHARP SIDE) and rotate the coconut after each hit . The coconut should break in half after a few good wacks
That can one seems dangerous because of all the metal and dust going into the air
The egg one seemed interesting. I like my whites a lot more done, so maybe if you used a soup thermos and closed the lid so it would cook longer?
Breaking the cupcake has been around for a long time, I've been doing it for about 20 years.
I use the cupcake one every time I eat cupcakes!
Juice box - Lift up the corner flap,apply scissors to cut of a triangle,pour into mouth or glass. No waste - simples.
What could be more exciting than a fork?
Barry, BOTH the bits of bacon are called "rashers". The word you were looking for is "streaky bacon" vs "back bacon".
Just what I was going to say 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, I well remember when you could buy whole bacon rashers from the butchers. None of this cheaper, water-infused, wafer thin stuff that supermarkets sell today.
streaky bacon = bacon
back bacon = just pork
@@mgratk Back bacon= ham
I always cupcake sandwich my cupcakes! Have done for years!
Barry: *Does Borat impression*

Your long time supporter was probably laughing their arse off watching you two trying to open your cans. Lol
Just a bit... :P
I first saw the cupcake sandwich hack in a Preppy Kitchen cupcake video. In fact I think John Kanel suggests it with most of his cupcake videos.
When Anne Hathaway does the cupcake it’s a hack…when I started doing it I was crazy🤷🏻♀️
hi barry, if you like to open the coconut easy just take a knife and hit it with the back side of the knife around the coconut. that will crack the shell so it´s easy to open. have fun.

The cupcakes one, I learned from my college roommate.
I graduated in 1972........🤷♀️
Barry I love your videos so much!!! I especially enjoy these kitchen hack ones!! Keep up the good work!! :)
Hey Barry,
We always just put our coconut in the oven to seperate them from their shell. 200° for 15min, then you can easily pry out the flesh from the shell with a knife. Then with a vegetable peeler remove the thin layer of brown coconut skin from the coconut flesh.
the egg one is also known as onsen egg, used a lot in japanese ramen
Anne Hathaway on a chat show did the cup cake thing you remembered rightly x
I have a sort of bacon hack. Rinse your bacon under cold water before cooking in a pan and the bacon will not curl up and it will shrink less. It does work, but cooking bacon in the oven is fuss proof.
I put emptied intact coconuts in the oven and bake for a bit, I think till it cracks I'd have to Google. But once you take it out of the oven, wrap in a towel and throw on the ground. It splits and the meat comes out very nicely
Try boiling the half coconut in water with either lemon juice or cider vinegar & the white flesh will simply slide out the brown shell
I usually eat my cupcakes like that 😋
If you want to make a hole in a coconut shell so you can drink the coconut water, make it in one of the 'eyes' on the top of the shell. It's slightly thinner there.
Canadian juice boxes have the straw hole in the corner.... So you can tip the box so all the juice goes to the corner with the straw and drink it all
"There's a concrete block in our kitchen" AGAIN!!! lol 😂😂😂
For cans that lose there tabs or you're can opener is broken, you can use heavy gage wire cutters to cut the top ring off.
If the ring pull comes off but there is a small opening, just put a knife inside and peel it off as if it was a ring pull
Hi guys love the vlogs I’m definitely with mrs barry I love my bacon crispy x
the can thing takes some work but I've done that because I didn't have a can opener and needed to open a tuna can.
Definitely seems quicker to walk to the shop and buy a tin opener lol.
You can sous vide a poached egg in its shell which is basically the same method as you tried there but more controlled as it’s in the water bath. Super consistent, easy and you can do them in big batches. We do it all the time!
