How would you clean up the ketchup? Let us know! More Kitchen hack videos here, grab the popcorn there's a lot of videos! ru-vid.com/group/PLfItiEY3o1mtJvIdfPhp-sZXfBqF9q24V
I'd do it pretty much the same way as you, with a single damp (not wet) cloth that can be rinsed. There's far too much there for dry kitchen roll to be effective.
Barry's way is definitely the best of the three, the parchment thing is neat but a bit of a pointless fuss and kitchen roll is too expensive to waste these days!
I would love to see a version of the ice cream one if you compared the wrapped pint to a "control." Leave an unwrapped pint next to the bubble-wrapped one and see the difference between the two after the same amount of time out.
The vegetable peeling one made me laugh because we actually use either the bag the potatoes came in if it's empty or a grocery sack too BUT we just put it on the table and sit at the table to peel them! Just peeling them over top of the bag.
I never throw outside peels out. I wash the skins really well with a veg scrubber, peel normally with a pairing knife but cut thicker depth. I put them in water into the fridge. When I use them, put in a salad spinner to remove liquid then fry in oil. They're delicious, like fries.
haha very true, close call that, tempted to have a go again, but that was quite painful when it clipped the nose! It steamed up too, but we cut that part out the final version
How would that little red turn those noodles a bright color? Especially mixed in with the green and chocolate? 😂😂 loved the video! Just what I needed today, vids with Mrs.B are the best!
I would say, for the egg & seive one, I'd just put the egg in the water as normal, then when it's cooked, just tip the lot out into the seive over the sink, as most people would do with a seive, but, I guess some people didn't get that memo on how seives are used... :P
Or use a clean dish towel. When done either put peelings in compost, feed critters or throw in the trash and put the towel in the wash. Easy peezy and no waste of plastic.
You know your burrito, taco idea. Unnecessary inventions has actually created a bowl device thing that catches the burrito that falls out and catches it in a taco. Great minds think alike 😂
I love the idea of Boston watching you make these videos then meeting his doggy friends on a walk to swap notes on how bizarre their humans are. 😂😂 I was just about to suggest oiling the seive when you did it! 😂 The combination of wet hands, glass and a blade made me nervous! 🫣
That one hack with the salad in the jar, reminds me of a McDonald's menu item. Here in USA, perhaps you had it there also, but you could order this large cup looking item, filled with salad, then you would put your dressing in, pop on the lid and shake it. The remove the lid and eat you salad out of this big cup. I do not remember the name, never had one, not even sure is it is still available. But it seemed like a neat idea. Did you have this in your country?
Barry, I’ve got a hack for you. Have you ever needed a whole boiled egg, but the only egg you have available to use already has a large crack in the shell which will allow the egg to escape from the shell as you try to cook it? Answer, take a single paper handkerchief and wrap it around the egg twisting it corners of the handkerchief together. Get your water vigorously boiling and lower the egg wrapped in the paper handkerchief into the boiling water and turn off the heat completely but keep the wrapped egg submerged in the hot water until you can remove it from the water with your bare hand. When you remove the egg immediately strip the tissue paper from the egg by immersing it into a bowl of very cold water to cool it down and gently remove the shell . When you cut into the egg it should be cooked to a soft boiled state ready to make into Scotch egg. Obviously if you think that it is undercooked wrap it again in paper tissue and place it back into the bowl of boiling water ( before cutting into the egg) and give it another minute or so. If you are wanting a poached egg but you aren’t sure how fresh your egg is boil your water and place your unopened egg in your sieve into the boiling water for approximately 20 seconds before removing the egg and the sieve and then stir the water and crack the egg into the centre of the water, the brief immersion should have started to hold the egg together for long enough to allow the egg to fully poach. Then use a slotted spoon to remove and serve the egg.
I always use a small sieve when I crack my eggs,it holds the yolk and white well. But drains what I call water, this is what makes those strings of white
The best way to keep onions from making you tear up is DON'T lean over the cutting board. Leaning over it while you cut onions just allows the spray of juice to go right in your eyes and nose. I'm disabled so I sit in a chair when preparing food, my cutting board is on the counter in front of me so I'm not directly over it. I never have issues with onions
6:36, Barry looks like a Doctor Who alien. As for the "al-dente" poached egg, honestly I'm fine with that. So long as the white is solid, the yolk can be whatever it wants to be. While I do like a rare yolk, I'm perfectly fine with a medium yolk, or even a well-done yolk, but if someone can't do a runny yolk without the white being kinda runny, then they gotta do it well-done.
Re onions, Wear swim goggles/snorkel goggles. Gives your family a good laugh, but works. That trick is from my brother, and yes, i took a photo and now we have a good laugh everytime we come across the photo.
Easier poaching hack is line a ramekin with clingfilm, then add the egg & seasoning. Then pinch the ends to seal it, the drop it in the water for however long you like it
The pot lid hack works if you have a smaller head haha or a bigger hood on your hoodie. I've used it before and it's great 😅 but you could also just refrigerate your onion too, I find that works the best.
Apparently onion sting vapor is attracted/bonds to wet things and your eyes and nose are naturally wet. Putting a wet towel in in front of your cutting board apparently helps.
@@mrbarrylewis we had those in bristol, 1998 ish, memories too sharing pizza on them on get togethers. . Think they were left behind moving house. The print has stood the test of time !
The bubble wrap most likely will work, because bubble wrap is sometimes used as thermal insulation in greenhouses, but it looks like there was just way too little of it to have a significant effect.
I've wrapped ice cream tubs in a bath towel or even a jacket (that I didn't mind getting wet) when carrying them in a car for a few hours. Works reasonably well.
Poaching eggs the easy way: take a few of those little plastic bags, like zip lock, put an egg into each one and if those bags came without the zippy part, make a knot in the top. Put those into the simmering water and wait for X minutes until they reach your desired texture. I'd rather peel the apple with sandpaper mate. Neither makes sense but you'll get some results.
@@mrbarrylewis you should have astronaut Barry as your profile picture 😂 Yeah I've been subscribed since you were myvirginkitchen, about 8 or 9 months or more before you updated the channel, I remember going back and checking how long it's been. Edit: in other news I did test 2 Poached eggs in the microwave hot pot today, the yoke did pop before the 2nd 20 seconds were up but I did mix it up and pop on for another 20 seconds afterwards and my fussy dog that doesn't eat hardboiled egg white actually ate it all mixed up. So there's that.

Please don't believe what you see on the internet, I feel dumber from just watching this, my brain has left the CHAT, even though it was slightly funny, cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Growing up we peeled potatoes in the living room while watching tv. That bag would have been helpful. We just used another bowl to put the peels in. Just buy some sunglasses from the dollar store to chop onions. Just get some that aren’t very dark. Or some cheap safety glasses.
Not a kitchen hack, but when I used to ride a motorbike, and the weather was frosty, I used to put a double thickness of bubblewrap on the saddle so that my behind, and associated areas, didn't freeze on my 15 mile ride to work.
Good Mythical Morning did a video a month ago testing out a new pizza peel that was made like the last hack using a non stick mat wrapped around a board.
That apple/blade interface has about as much chance of working as the 'infinite number of monkeys with typewriters, writing Shakespeare'. In other words: none whatsoever. 😆😆😆 There is a proper word for a 'Dump Salad': that word is 'Salamagundy'. You could have cleaned the ketchup with a disposable antibacterial wipe. That's what I'd have done.
