I Tested Viral Kitchen Gadgets ft a Mentos & Coke Fountain! 

The strap came off the kettle first not the lid.

I bet mrs. B got u with the water hose before u came back in 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰

I absolutely LOVE your shirt! Its my favorite movie of all time. Where can i get 1?

Lol

Ian, I understand 1000% how you feel. I've been watching Barry for nearly a decade at this point because of his compassion and the love he has for what he does.

I’m disabled too and much appreciate that. Thanks Barry.

Agree, used to teach people how to use them. Often used a permanent marker on a nonslip mat next to the kettle tipper to mark the spot to place the cup.

I got both sets of my grandparents the Ucello kettle after seeing someone use it on Tiktok. It’s basically what Barry showed us here but as a complete kettle. It changed their lives completely as they all have arthritis in the hands, amazing.

@@Riinapopsz great idea. the properly designed ones are brilliant for older people who struggle to lift a heavy kettle

what is an OT???

I thought there is NO WAY I would have that kettle tipping contraption in my house, it looked flimsy and dangerous. I did think it would be better to use the kettle handle to tip it rather that that flimsy lever, at least then your not actually lifting the kettle but have more control over it.

We love ours! We use it when only 1 person wants a cuppa. Saves you time as it’s boiled so quickly!

My Uncle has one since he suffered some heart problems that made him weak as a kitten, he can rotate the kitchen sink tap over the water compartment to fill it, then it's just the push of a button for a cup of hot water. MAGIC!

Could also just use a Keurig, they work pretty good. Have two one for coffee and then I have another for clean water for cup noodles or other things.

I loved Ann’s video about it. Love to see Barry react to it

I was going to post the same.

I did notice he opened the door in such a way any steam or hot fluids wouldn’t hit him, but a comment about it would be appreciated.

personally been burnt by a microwaved egg as a child- miserable

@@Cola82 it’s not just the steam, they can explode.

I understand where you are coming from, however other people have told me the opposite. I'll keep working on this, i'm not perfect and apologies if it causes offence

@@mrbarrylewis no offense taken! At least you're not saying "differently abled" or anything like that lol euphemisms for the disabled make me wanna 🤮

As another disabled/chronically ill person, I have to agree. I don't know any other disabled people/spoonies who would prefer 'disadvantages'. It sounds pitying, I know it's not meant that way. 🙂

Agreed! It‘s not like, a huge issue but as a disabled person I vastly prefer "disabled" over any of the euphemisms that were mostly created because disabled is concidered a bad word largely by non-disabled people. But, I don‘t blame Berry for just going along w something other presumably disabled people told him - that‘s generally best to do :)

Also disabled and also prefer the term "disabled". I wonder if the people who didn't like it are people who are not actually disabled but still need assistance for other reasons? That I can understand!

Drinks can still be spiked through a straw

Yup, it needed to be pushed further onto the tab. His attempts concentrated the force in the wrong spot, making the tab bend. A bit more focus and I image a user would be able to feel when the gadget is properly aligned and opening as it should.

Oh cool, glad it can help, there's lots of similar products like that around but it was impressive

@@mrbarrylewis keep them coming! Your videos bring so many smiles, and the fact that its all about family and getting in the kitchen just makes them so much better

Might watch the movie now lol (Splash that is lol)

We bought the Aqua Optima water dispenser recently as I have a very weak wrist thanks to an accident some years ago and we live in a very hard water area so the dispenser has a filter. We were going through kettles at a rate of one approximately every 2 years as they started leaking from the base. Didn't matter what brand it was either. The water dispenser is so easy to use - just select how hot you want your water (and if you select "boil" it really does boil the water). I like my coffee cooler and find that 80C works great. Then you select how much you want - for my cup 200ml, press the button and off it goes. You can also press the button again to stop the water flow. I also like that it really chills the water as well so really nice to have chilled water on tap during this hot weather. There is no waiting with this one like there is with others. Works instantaneously. Yes, it was pricey but worth every penny.

@@Pythonaria sounds amazing for those of us with disabilities and difficulties in the kitchen! It's so unfortunate, though, that so many things that are helpful to the disabled are so freaking expensive 😕

@@acaciakapusta8921 It was expensive at just under £200 but a half decent kettle now will set you back anywhere between £40 upwards and we've gone through probably 3 in the past 5 years due to limescale build up. Even a week after descaling a kettle it is full of limescale again. With the Aqua Optima it has a filter and it will tell you when to descale it (eventually). The instructions are to use a vinegar solution so no need to buy expensive descalers. It's also nice to have a cup of tea or coffee without bits of limescale in it.

i was just thinking what a dumb design, ive still got one from years back that just had a hole and a pin on a string that would hold the mentos until you pulled the string and it would drop them in, sure it had a lil bit of cola shooting out of the hole for the pin but still you didnt get any coke on you lol

It does, he had it upside down. If you look closely there are little cutouts so that it gets right on the fulcrum of the tab.

@@Hidyman ah that would explain it!

That sounds bloomin awesome! Unless i'm wrong (which is often the case!) microwaves here mostly come with just the glass base it spins on

@@mrbarrylewis it definitely is. But I am not sure if it really is the case for all of them, or just some (living in Germany). It is nice to not have to buy something fitting. But at least there are some good options.

@@Lady_Red-Herb That must be a German thing because in the UK even high end microwaves don't come with clever accessories.

@@ticketyboo2456 Hmmm, yeah, maybe. I hope they change that one day. Every microwave should have stuff like that

@@mrbarrylewis you can get them here from Ikea/wilkos/asda etc for £1 or 2, you just have to search for microwave lids, but it would have definitely been nice if our microwaves came supplied with them!

Amy Marple I had no idea that OXO madexkitchen gadgets as well as stock cubes and gravy. You learn something new everyday.

a tea towel cost less and does the same job, you only need one, place over the top, and use it as a heat shield to remove the bowl or plate of food

For sure, it needs a clip over the top without a doubt. Also my kettle is made of glass, only just thinking about it, that could have been much worse!

Plus it wasn't immediately apparent why it failed, which makes it difficult to avoid making the same mistakes. I wouldn't have trusted this thing with my grandmother, that's for sure!

​@@mrbarrylewis Doesn't that make your kettle kinda heavy? Good thing yall are still strong :)

Thanks a bunch

Please look into the Ucello kettle if you require an aid such as this one. It changed my grandparents lives x

You just don't push it all the way in. It helped me a ton as a kid

It's not for opening soda cans all the way. You can use it to lift the tab of a soda can. But it is really meant for the Soup cans that have a pull tab.

I agree and that thing could be a death trap if a very young child ended up getting scalded because of it. A definite no-no.

They are! We have one at Lakeside shopping centre in Thurrock

I've worked with people who have nails that are so brittle they need a lever because that seemingly innocuous tab will break the nail to the nail bed. A simple bottle opener does the trick.

Not everyone can ‘lift gently and don’t pull’ that’s why Barry makes a point of mentioning folks with disabilities at the beginning

Ups, I should have watched 15 seconds more of the video before commenting 😜

Thanks :)
