Hope you enjoyed this episode, please let me know if you've seen any cool kitchen gadgets that I haven't tried out just yet! If you'd like to watch the others so far, check out this playlist with lots more kitchen gadgets put to the test th-cam.com/video/hECAxPxsdmo/w-d-xo.html
Gadget suggestion: Krups Ovomat. Best way to cook eggs, in my opinion. It gets them perfect (no matter what you consider your perfect egg) every time, and only needs a shot glass of water for it.
Hi I hope you are well.? I love your content. The egg gadget that you used in this one is similar to the one you have used in another video. I might be rong put it was a spring one not a solid one. I hope this makes sense.?
I recently brought an automatic potato peeler - i can’t recall if you’ve used one before, but they’re available on amazon. Great for when you want to get the kids involved in cooking without the risk of injuries!
Thanks Barry, now I really want cheese. Also, those tomato and onion savers might not make much of a difference compared to bags as far as preservation, but it COULD help in reducing household waste!
You did read the instructions on the ice cube tray. I remember hearing you say you have to twist the tray to loosen the cubes, THEN push the dealie on the bottom.
The “pusher” mechanism seem like a gimmick. You have to twist the tray to break the cubes, then hold it with one hand while moving the lever to bump a cube out with that same hand or the other (so possibly two-handed operation?). Or you can twist a regular tray to break the cubes and put it down on the counter and just take one out. Maybe this would be a good solution for someone, but I suspect even those with poor dexterity would do better with a regular tray.
you can tell he didnt from the top of the tray, its a solid sheet of ice on top, you flex an ice tray youll have crunched broken shards if you flipped it over on the table
You should try a proper simple scandinavian cheese-slicer, that thing thereis overenginered to the extreme, and honestly seem far more dangerous as well.
We got those in Germany as well. In case anyone doesn't know: They basically look like a cake shovel with a slit and sharp edge towards the wider end, that basically functions like a hand plane.
Hello Barry considering the ice cube gadget, probably you overfilled it with water and the ice cubes were stuck together. Try it again next time with less water and hopefully it will work :)
I'm trying to vastly reduce my disposable plastic and have found these to be great. Often like a bit of onion or tomato on a sandwich so get used a ton.
I can not believe someone was so upset by your honest review that they asked you to reshoot a whole video. I am sure that happens a lot but the audacity. I bet some people even do it. You are good an honest person Barry.
Just being a Dutchman watching Barry, laughs in Dutch Kaasschaafs........ You ever seen a Dutch cheeseslicer barry? That is all you need, no "adjustable thickness" nonsense.... just perfect slices of cheese.
The tomato and onion fresh stretch thingy is a better version of the Chef Excellence Cheese Bags that Stuart Ashens showed ages ago 😂 An excellent video!
I was going, "Why would anyone want to core a banana?" Then the Nutella thing happened and I was like, "Ooooh... I'd try that!" The onion and tomato keepers look like a good idea. I just wish you had them in the fridge for longer, like a day or so, to see how they hold up.
Okay the salt and pepper thing does legitimately bother me every time. 🤣 The one with more holes is ABSOLUTELY for salt. The fewer holes is for the pepper. There’s no debating this. It’s a fact of life.
When you read the directions for the ice cube tray it clearly said that you still needed to twist the tray to loosen all the cubes first, then you could get each individual cube out by pressing the buttons.
he really is bad at remembering directions, you can tell he didnt twist that ice tray to loosen them like the directions said to prior to trying to get them to dispense, it isnt a very useful gadget anyhow but fair play to the tray, do it right before complaining about it
The food wrap cup things are about reducing plastic waste, so for that they are pretty good. You'll throw away a lot of plastic wrap vs that one pod when it finally gives out.
The kids want a rabbit? Lovely! Braise it in white wine with a handful of whole garlic cloves, a good bit of fresh rosemary, salt, pepper, and just a little bit of crushed red pepper.
The thing for the onion and tomato is to reduce waste. You’re throwing away a lot of plastic using cling film so by using those reusable tubs you aren’t throwing plastic away every time you want to use it. I’d recommended changing so you’re not part of the problem 😉☺️
Straight up ordered that ice cube tray after this vid, looks very cool and i definitely didn't brake my current one literally today by twisting it too hard trying to pop the ice out.. oops 😂🤣
The onion and tomato pods remind me of the old Star Wars Carbonite block from the 2000s Star Wars "Carbon-Freezing Chamber" set! You could put any figure into it, close it, and the fabric overlay would make it look like they were 'frozen'.
For the cheese slicer gadget, I usually just use a potato peeler. Works just as well (although it’s only one setting) and doesn’t need a separate gadget
The idea of Barry having fever dreams about products and not knowing which he has used or not is actually an amusing thought. Was it a dream? Was it real? Who knows, because he's tested them all.
Congratulations! I live in Sweden, and the Swedes invented the cheese slicer. I come from Finland, and that is a gadget found in practically every Finnish and Swedish home. I have been using them since I was a kid, and I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE WHO HAS CUT THEMSELVES WITH ONE. You are the first! I'm impressed! It's like a potato peeler. Practically the same principle. Never heard of anyone cutting themselves with that one either. Grater is a whole different discussion.
Also, the pods are more eco friendly since you’re not using the plastic wrap every time. It’s also more user friendly. Imagine getting the wrap master out of the kitchen cabinet, use it and put it back compared to the pod. It’s just faster and easier.
Great video! I always enjoy the product reviews! With the ice cube tray, did you twist it first and then push to release it like it mentioned at the beginning?
We used to have two rabbits, called Roger and Thumper; named after 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' and 'Bambi'. They used to bite when you picked them up, so one day we decided to let them just roam free in the garden because they bit us whenever we tried putting them in the hutch. Rabbits have sharp teeth.
those pods are definitely significantly better for the environment than the amount of plastic waste (soft plastic at that) you would generate wrapping everything each time

@@zackriggs2976 I thought it look similar. Well my comment is rong. @BarryLewis I'm sorry

The Ice tray said to twist it and then use the tabs to lift it up for easy grab basically
The onion and tomato gadgets are a really good idea for people who want reduce their use of single-use plastics like cling film!
I was just about to say that, i'd much rather use those gadgets than plastic wrap.
Yes! I was surprised he didn't mention that.. because that why they exist..
SUPER AGREE
You can use bee wraps as well! :)
I feel you could just put the cut side down on a plate though
Thanks Barry, now I really want cheese.
Also, those tomato and onion savers might not make much of a difference compared to bags as far as preservation, but it COULD help in reducing household waste!
I agree with now wanting cheese.

Yeah, seems pretty clear you crack them to loosen them, then with it still upright, squeeze the lever to push it up so you can pull it out.
“Did you order a load of T-shirt’s?”
“…no”
“………….ok”
😂
Odds that Barry forgot to flex the ice cube tray to loosen them like it says on the package? :)
you can tell he didnt from the top of the tray, its a solid sheet of ice on top, you flex an ice tray youll have crunched broken shards if you flipped it over on the table
yup, he didn't.
it's not a Barry video without user error.
We had to wait for the last minute to see Barry mess up simple instructions. Whew! He had us worried for a bit but he pulled through for us as always.
I was coming just to say the exact same thing
it also looks like he completely over filled it, usually you just try to put enough water in the fill the cubes, not so that am ice sheet forms on top
If i were to wrap every single half veggie i have in plastic wrap I'd go through a lot of plastic lol
You should try a proper simple scandinavian cheese-slicer, that thing thereis overenginered to the extreme, and honestly seem far more dangerous as well.
I came here to say that as well 😅✌🏻
Yes, I second that.
Gastromax cheese slicer ❤️
We got those in Germany as well. In case anyone doesn't know: They basically look like a cake shovel with a slit and sharp edge towards the wider end, that basically functions like a hand plane.
A Norwegian invention. Thor Bjørklund in 1925.
All the Norwegians watching: “That is the dumbest cheese slicer ever.” 😂
All us swedes too...
And dutchies too😂
And "how do you not know how to use a cheesslicer... I have done so since I could reach the counter to make my own food"
haha i know right, been using one since i was god knows how little. That slicer there? i wouldn't touch it haha
The Dutch are right there with you.
Welcome to another episode of "Barry doesn't read the instructions properly (if at all)."
@@Okurka. Error ID=10T
🤣🙈🙈
He clearly said "twist the tray" Then release individual ice cubes.
My grandpa used to collect salt and pepper shakers before he passed away. He got in the local paper for his collection.
You know, you always say "I hope YOU are well." Well I also hope you're doin' well, Barry. Thanks for the videos!
I'm doing alright thanks
That banana thing could have been a good "will it" video with Ashens or some sort of food horror video also with Ashens.
A banana filled with Surströmming?
Hello Barry considering the ice cube gadget, probably you overfilled it with water and the ice cubes were stuck together. Try it again next time with less water and hopefully it will work :)
Think he just didn’t twist
The sound of the cheese grater tho. It is like the sound of styrofoam. I just wanted to jump through my screen and wrestle Barry to make him stop.
The sounds of that thing hurt my teeth...
I have leftover jars from dips and jams and such and I whack leftover fruit and veg in there. Less plastic. Tadaaaah 😁
The pod one is good for saving plastic :) environment friendly
I love that you always include the disclaimer about those of us with disabilities. Thank you for being inclusive. It is so rare these days. Hugs.
Less plastic waste with the storage gadget, than with wrap 😅
I'm trying to vastly reduce my disposable plastic and have found these to be great. Often like a bit of onion or tomato on a sandwich so get used a ton.
Well, at the amount of plastic used to produce it, you could use a lot of wrap until you're worse than the reusable ones :/
Tupperware is just as effective.
@@tncorgi92 agree. But not as affordable I guess. I'm on minimum disability, not a lot of money to use :)
@@HomeFryWolfie washed out salsa jars work great for storing fruit and veg
Did you twist the icecube tray to loosen the cubes like it said in the instructions before pressing the button on the back to release the cube?
Eeeek Barry! That cheese slicer! I feel icky about using a mandolin! I fear I will slice a layer of my skin off with it. (Shivering)
"Slightly kinky, pulling the plug out...." 😂😂😂😂😂
I can not believe someone was so upset by your honest review that they asked you to reshoot a whole video. I am sure that happens a lot but the audacity. I bet some people even do it. You are good an honest person Barry.

Lemon curd would be awesome in the banana! The episode was awesome.
The tomato and onion fresh stretch thingy is a better version of the Chef Excellence Cheese Bags that Stuart Ashens showed ages ago 😂 An excellent video!
Stay fresh, cheesebags.
Best way to finish the school day 😌
The banana filler would be great for filling jelly donuts & aebelskivers. The hugging piglets are sooo cute! 😀
LOL! Your laughter is contagious! Thank you for sharing this video!

There’s no debating this. It’s a fact of life.
Of course the onion and tomato you put in the package thing is better than the others,you put them in the fridge and not out on the counter lol

He doesn't follow the instruction at all
Minced garlic in a jar is even easier than using any gadget!
Looks like you overfilled the ice tray, basically creating an ice rink. It needs to be a bit more precise, is my guess.
"Something about rabbits intimidate me" like the entirety of "Watership Down"
"Pullin' the plug out of the pigs b-- ahem, yes...."
BARRY! LOL
The food wrap cup things are about reducing plastic waste, so for that they are pretty good. You'll throw away a lot of plastic wrap vs that one pod when it finally gives out.
I always preferred it when you did kitchen gadgets alone.
I like the idea that you can store your garlic in the tube thing. That's why it has the little flippy lid thing on the bottom. :)
10:42 we have wild garlic growing just outside the flats from where we live.
The kids want a rabbit? Lovely! Braise it in white wine with a handful of whole garlic cloves, a good bit of fresh rosemary, salt, pepper, and just a little bit of crushed red pepper.
I love the filling part of the banana corer.... it'd be a great tool to use to fill eclairs or donuts or something. I always hate using a pastry bag.
Always a treat to come in early for a Barry video. :)
The thing for the onion and tomato is to reduce waste. You’re throwing away a lot of plastic using cling film so by using those reusable tubs you aren’t throwing plastic away every time you want to use it. I’d recommended changing so you’re not part of the problem 😉☺️
I have a yellow pod for lemons from Aldi, it really works 👍
I find the pigs so bloody adorable xD
I mean, the tomato and onion pods are definitely saving you foil on the long run. Reduced trash can only be a good thing.
I’m extremely careless with sharp utensils when I’m cooking but even I was feeling uneasy watching you use the cheese slicer 😅
The little pigs are so cute! haha 😂😂
I love these things.
I have that ice cube tray and love it. I've had it for Almost a year and had a no faults with it.
Is the wrapmasters film biodegradable? If not then those silicone pots could me better
“I don’t know if that was English “. Bahaha I laughed sooo hard. Was thinking the same lol. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
3:01 What a satisfying sound! Thought it was edited in at first lol
I think with the tomato/onion keeper, the gadget is a better idea as it's a lot less waste plastic and can be reused.
Ice cube tray, it did say to twist with lid on so maybe try that before pressing the buttons?
I accumulated my salt and pepper shakers from my grandma collection and she collected over 200 pair and counting. Now I'm obsessed with them!
The ice cube tray would be great for me I walk with a cane so it would travel to the freezer easier and easier for me to get out of the tray
"I just wanna play pranks on people with this!"
Hmm... do I smell a post-lockdown Ashens collab video?
@@Okurka. wow did I forget about a banana Barshens video... now I need to find that! Thanks for the heads up.
Does it banana!?
Straight up ordered that ice cube tray after this vid, looks very cool and i definitely didn't brake my current one literally today by twisting it too hard trying to pop the ice out.. oops 😂🤣
The onion and tomato pods remind me of the old Star Wars Carbonite block from the 2000s Star Wars "Carbon-Freezing Chamber" set! You could put any figure into it, close it, and the fabric overlay would make it look like they were 'frozen'.
I love cheese and watching people get slices like that but that squeakkk lol I had to fast forward to the next gadget 😆
The banana yum station worth getting it’s soo yummy with chocolate in the middle
And now after seeing this, i suddenly miss the old "Barry's banana raffle" Barshens video.. Time to rewatch that one again. :)
Definitely wear your Barry Lewis anti cut glove with the cheese slicer ahha
Form one Barry video (a old MVK one) instantly to a new one, thanks to a notification.
Love a notification lol
@@mrbarrylewis a notification about one of your favorite youtuber uploading is the best notification a person can get on their phone.
If the pods are as effective as plastic wrap, the advantage that the pods have is that they are reusabel! :) Live greeen! 💚
For the cheese slicer gadget, I usually just use a potato peeler. Works just as well (although it’s only one setting) and doesn’t need a separate gadget
I finally get his infatuation with danger....he's clumsy as all hell lol.
The cheese slicer noise was giving me goosebumps and making me squirm in my seat. Hate that noise
The idea of Barry having fever dreams about products and not knowing which he has used or not is actually an amusing thought. Was it a dream? Was it real? Who knows, because he's tested them all.
That cheese slicer is funny. In Norway they are pretty normal and used daily (usually it's metal though, not plastic)
Me wishing had gadget videos once a week
with the banana corer i think putting pureed strawberry inside would be lovely
I commented this on the last banana one but I really think you should try the banana gadget with cucumber and a savoury filling like tuna 😋
The pods are to save from people using reams of disposable plastic wrap that ends up in the environment.
"Twist top to tighten. Yeah but then we wanna untighten it" Wonder how you do that.. :'D
Congratulations! I live in Sweden, and the Swedes invented the cheese slicer. I come from Finland, and that is a gadget found in practically every Finnish and Swedish home.

Oooh, you should try to make banana pops...frozen chocolate covered banana pops. Perfect for summer 😋🍌
The instructions did say to twist the ice cube tray to dislodge the edges XD
In Sweden we have "osthyvel" for cutting cheese. You should try one of instead. They work so much better
Tip! To peel a lot of garlic put them in a Tupperware container, and shake like you are playing the maracas
Your garlic rocker is the best still!! I Love everything in the Barry Lewis veg prep kit, and make far too many chips because the chopper is so easy!!
Those pod thing seem like the evolution of Chef Excellence's Stay Fresh system.
The best ice trays are the ancient metal ones the have pull lever to break the ice loose.
English: egg topper
German: Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher 😂😂😂
When you read the instructions for the ice cube tray, it said to give it a twist before using the buttons to release an ice cube.
How often have you been contacted by companies asking you to re review their gadgets because they didn't like how you reviewed their product? 😂
14:11 me and my rabbit watch you pretty often. And she took offense. 😆 🤣
But with the garlic press thingy... you can store it in the fridge so you don’t have to keep peeling garlic - fill the tube & use as needed. 💡🤓
"you could probably get two halves in" that's a whole Barry, just don't chop it in first place 😂😂😂
Great video! I always enjoy the product reviews! With the ice cube tray, did you twist it first and then push to release it like it mentioned at the beginning?
I loved the sad onion reference! :)

The banana corer is a solution to a problem nobody has...
The banana gadget would be great to put in choc chips and then have baked banana from the bbq!
