- That is so good! (upbeat music)
Oh, I don't like that, David.
Yes!
We have a users manual in Asian language?
(Barry grunts)
(Barry coughs)
Hello everybody, it's Barry here.
Hope you are well wherever you are in the world.
Welcome to our kitchen today.
We did another kitchen gadget testing video,
part of an epic playlist!
I think this is kitchen gadget test 70.
Please put on your sweatband,
have a marathon at the end of this video
to watch all the others we might have missed
before suggesting any new gadgets.
And please do bear in mind that some of these gadgets
can help people with certain disadvantages
to help with certain tasks in the kitchen.
They bloody well do, which is awesome,
and there's also some novelty ones.
So that's my job to find out,
and see which ones you like, and let's get going.
Oh!
My own sort of gadgets, I guess, are these baking mats.
They don't come this dirty, but this is how long they last.
And you guys are loving them.
I've just got some more in stock,
but they will run out quite quickly.
So they're on Amazon UK and US now,
but it should ship to most countries.
Just pick which one's closest to you.
Nice one.
All right, getting the oven's nice and preheated.
The first thing we're gonna do today
on this very gloomy day, I've got all the windows open
to try and make it as bright as I can in here.
My personality, I'm trying to light up the room.
We're going to cook a pizza.
We need one.
I thought I'd buy a frozen pizza.
And look at this one because it says,
"raw dough, keep frozen, and carry flat."
Ooh!
That's cool.
That is actually raw dough.
That's amazing.
In fact, I would actually recommend
if you ever have the choice of buying one from a fridge
in a supermarket or frozen and they do
fresh dough like that, go for that.
You still getting hopefully a teeny bit of freshness.
All right.
Chicken and bacon pizza is going in
and it's going to take about 18 minutes to cook.
That'd be for our second gadget.
So let's go to the first one, 'tis the season to season.
'Cause this is the Ortwo, okay?
Why is it called Ortwo?
Because this is a pepper grinder where you can grind
with one hand or two!
Can be used for grinding all types of spices and seeds.
Oh, I might stick something else in it as well!
I've got peppercorns.
Apparently it's got wooden handles,
which would not be suitable for the dishwasher,
but the glass.
Oh wow! Look at that!
That feels really expensive.
Ah, and there are small holes
that slightly go larger around there,
which obviously are your core settings.
Of course they are.
Thank you.
Apparently, it rests like that on your table or worktop
without making a mess
thanks to its angled cylinder design
because there's nothing worse, let me show you.
This is our pepper mill.
If I put it down, you always get pepper!
That's quite clever!
It's going to fill this up peppercorns
and I should be able to just go like this.
(gadget creaks)
Oh, I like the noise!
(gadget creaks)
Oh, I'm gonna sneeze!
I'm gonna sneeze!
Actually had that on the widest setting.
So that's actually been quite generous to the pepper.
So if I put it on the finest one,
oh my gosh!
It's going to be really hard for you to see that,
but that is actually working and making it really fine.
Almost like ground pepper.
And two handed?
(gadget creaks)
This is like a workout!
That's amazing!
Oh wow!
Because the pepper comes out there,
if I just sit it like that, nothing is falling out.
That is amazing.
That is so good!
Ah yeah
Cumin seeds.
Obviously powdered ground cumin is brilliant,
but to do it yourself,
I just feel like it releases more flavour.
So hopefully,
(gadget creaks)
What? No!
Oh, I don't like this.
What's going on?
Maybe I need to make it the narrowest setting.
They're just falling through.
Ah!
I put it on the absolute finest setting now.
They're just falling through as little strands.
Oh, it's a mix.
Oh, it's doing it.
It is doing it actually.
But you have to put it on the absolute finest setting,
which to be honest,
having a setting on that is way overkill.
Why just keep it as the finest anyway
and just tick all those boxes.
That's a winner!
I blooming love that.
So once our pizza's done any minute now,
it's starting to smell incredible,
we will season the pizza and then use a pizza gadget!
Okay, onto my pizza cutting trailer.
I was going to do a pizza kit.
I don't know if you guys want me to bring one of those out.
This is actually something that I got a sample of
that I'm really happy with,
so we can get it straight down there and use this gadget.
(gadget creaks)
Well, no, not that gadget.
This gadget.
A self sharpening pizza cutter.
So it is a pizza cutter that has a guard around it
that actually sharpens your wheel.
Good girl!
(wheel rings)
Room service!
There appears to be a little gap
that when you put that pressure down on it,
you can see how that lifts up?
We're going to rotate that through.
Oh, there we go.
I'm kind of doing the, let's be a wheel!
Look, spin the wheel,
and that will run it along a built-in sharpener in there,
which is actually genius.
Remember this is a chef product by David Holcomb,
famous inventor.
Remember I've sort of said how I'd love to meet him?
Some on Twitter has messaged me saying they know him.
That could be a prank.
Good.
(pizza crunches)
Oh!
I mean, that was good.
It's left some amazing scratch marks.
I mean, this is what these are designed for.
Just slicing it all up, but that felt good.
It was a tough crust to be fair.
That's why I picked one like this.
A nice big chunky one.
Well, I guess we can't really sharpen it whilst it's dirty.
That might get weird.
So let me wash it again.
But I imagine that you press down.
That didn't feel right at all.
What?
It's making some unbelievable marks in my board.
Oh, you have to line this groove up
with the bit where you press down on.
So then you to activate the sharpener yourself
by pressing.
See?
So hopefully, I don't know if this is going to make a noise.
It's not moving!
Oh.
Why isn't it moving?
What?
That's crazy.
It's supposed to sharpen.
It's like, it's got a break on it.
What if we do a little bit halfway?
Oh, there we go!
Oh, I don't like that, David.
That works, it is sharpening it,
but you've got to fight
and you've got to hold it quite perfectly in place.
Just the right setting.
Because if you push it down, it is not moving,
and if you let it go, wee!
(pizza crunches)
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, the first time I did it, I struggled,
but that was literally like a knife through hot butter
or a wheel through pizza.
So is it better than the standard pizza cutter?
Yes, if you can sharpen it.
The only problem is, and I love
that you can stick that on there and have it
and keep it in your drawer.
It's just, if that mechanism there,
of pushing it like halfway through,
if it was all the way down,
I would love it.
Oh, almost perfect!
But what we've learned today, folks,
sharpen your pizza wheels.
Just get like a sharpening stone every now and then.
Wow!
Wow.
All right, some sushi rice is in here ready to be cooked,
we'll have that cooking in the background.
Not ready for sushi yet.
Next gadget.
All right, you might remember recently
I did a beer with Thomas Scott
where he tasted some strange teas.
(both yell)
The team making gadget we used in that video
was from the same store that Mrs. B and I went in in Oxford
when we stayed in a prison.
Like it was a hotel, it wasn't an actual prison.
We weren't that bad.
By miniso, which was the name of the company or the shop
that sold the tea maker and some other things
that I've got as well.
It was quite a fun little shop.
Citrus juicer, two-way rotating.
And that is what I liked
about the tea straining thing as well.
That is it.
That is don't,
well, it might surprise me
if there's any instructions in there,
but if my assumptions are right,
because it does say 30 Watts on the front,
this is an electronic citrus juicer.
That's going to automatically rotate,
oh, it's some sort of pamphlet!
Do we have any?
No, we have warranty.
Do we have instructions?
Yes!
We have a users manual in Asian language?
Right, so just plugging this in and I love it.
It's actually labelled it.
This base thing, right, it's called the baby.
The sit back the bowl and the replaceable removable handle
onto the baby!
Rotate shaft.
Ooh!
(machine hums)
Oh yes.
Anticlockwise, clockwise.
Filter, and then you've got your reamer.
Yeah, that is that ream.
Do people still say that?
(upbeat Latin music)
It's not going in very much.
Look at that.
It's just making it, it's pushing it all up.
Look at how much juice I've got!
Loads of flesh.
Ah!
No!
All right, we take your off the baby.
So from one orange, we've got about 80 millilitres
of fresh orange juice.
I don't think I'll be opening
Barry's juice bar anytime soon.
So freshly juiced, a little chilled as well.
There's a teeny bit of pulp in there, but not crazy.
You could pass it for a sip if you want.
That is actually genius.
It's not the sort of thing that I would use that often,
so I'll be giving that one to a patron.
So it's cool though.
That is brilliant.
Bonus Christmas gift life hack,
get some orange scented, wax pallets off the internet,
melt them down, pour them in there,
and give it to someone as a Christmas present
rather than an Apple watch!
All right, so this is for
all those cupcake decorating folks,
this gadget is the easy deco icing pen,
extremely self-explanatory from that image.
It is effectively a pen where you shove
a prefilled piping bag into it and it should make,
which some people find tricky actually,
frosting a cupcake easier.
Oh wow!
It comes with piping bags as well!
Awesome!
That's a lot cheaper than I thought.
It's okay.
Oh, so is it just done by compression?
Is it just basically that?
I mean, I guess it will work.
It's like the least pen thing in the world!
Oh my gosh, did I just break it?
No, I didn't.
All right, so here's some lemon butter cream
that I made really early this morning,
It's in my piping bag, like so just to show you,
but lightly squeeze it, it wants to come out!
That's actually a really thin tip though.
All the ones they gave are really thin,
so that's the best excuse I've got
for this looking horrendous.
The top of the bag, this is nightmare.
That pills through like that.
There we go.
Oh my gosh.
But then look,
look at that!
Oh, is this going to work if I go like that?
Oh it is.
(Barry laughs)
I'm sure it's not going to be like that.
Let's try it like this.
'Cause you can see how that has clamped that in place.
So it can't escape that way.
Oh, that's so greasy and no,
I'm going to have to really take a lot out of this bag.
It is so cheap and rubbish.
I know there are so many different versions
of things like this that are actually
(laughs) well, I've frosted a cupcake, haven't I?
And my hand.
Look, like with this,
you can get so much more control.
It's okay.
We'll try again.
Now we've got even less in the bag.
I just need to clean up a teeny bit.
Hang on.
Right.
Oh, this is so bad.
Yeah, I feel like I'm now, although it's not as glamorous.
I am in similar territory to the box.
Push down.
Oh, it's really struggling.
What the?
Come on.
'Cause it's folded over itself.
Oh my gosh.
I'm pressing so hard on it,
and oh, it's like trying to get toothpaste out of a tube.
My hands are so slippy and, I
mean, if you are a professional baker,
you've probably got a machine way better than this,
but if you're looking for something like that,
probably you get the next one up because I mean,
this was like three quid in the shop.
To be fair, you're getting some piping cases
and some nozzles,
but I don't think you'd get away with that.
(laughs) What a shocker.
What?
(Barry grunts)
Wow.
A lot of icing.
You wouldn't be that disappointing
if you've got that much icing, but your doctor would.
last up today, oh my gosh.
Yeah, that is buttercream on my lens!
Last up today, it's actually something
that was possibly showing my address.
So I'll just cover that up.
We'll go around this way.
This is the super sushi maker.
So many requests to get hold of this.
The ultimate three-in-one miracle mould sushi maker.
You can make heart shaped sushi
as well as the large and small square shaped sushi at home.
We've got a few little sushi ingredients
just to the side there.
I've got some cucumbers, peppers, and some salmon,
I also have some avocado if I want, and the sushi rice,
which is one of the stickiest things in the world.
What I like about this, ooh, interesting packaging!
Oh wow.
It's more cream coloured
than the white advertised in the box.
Look.
That's not normal shape for sushi!
It's so angry.
Why did you always make a face that looks like a triangle?
Why not turn that triangle into a heart?
(laughs) You can have it in a shape like that.
I mean, normal sushi.
Great.
You're going to have it literally like a rectangle
and you press it down almost like a coffin.
I want to make heart sushi!
So that's what we're doing.
If I've got this right, your base for,
so this is going to be for our heart is first, okay?
And this is the main mothership thing as well.
Like I say, that kind of makes everything happen, right?
Like a big sushi bus.
We place the sushi into it,
so we're gonna get wet hands
and start to fill this section up.
I have mixed a little bit of sugar and vinegar in with it,
'cause that's just gives it a real nice flavour.
Iso don't know if I've overfilled it,
if I have, I can always try it again,
but let's look, oh my gosh!
Don't do that!
Use the spatula to create a groove
down the middle of the sushi rice.
Okay.
(jaunty piano music)
Add your favourite ingredients by filling up
the other half with rice.
What?
Gonna use my intuition here, which doesn't always work.
So salmon pepper and cucumber all in there.
Don't think I've got enough roots from avocado, that's fine.
So we are either, if I go by the photos, we don't do this,
but part of me thinks you put the rice in now
and press it just to really get that shape on.
But instead I'm just going to put a roof of rice
over those ingredients first of all.
Okay, because the next step,
wrap the seaweed over the pressed rice.
Okay, just to encase that.
Oh my gosh.
I am just going to wet that
to bond that together a little bit.
So now we use this.
Oh, I think this is going to work, you know, now.
Cause it's all about the compression.
The lower down we press it,
it's going to just basically find that shape.
Put a bit of weight on it.
Some, but I'm not sure of.
All right.
So if I just lift this out carefully,
there is a real indentation along there.
This is so strange.
So I press that down a good two or three times.
I can see two little speed bumps with a channel
where it would cut in for a heart shape there.
Now we slice it.
Nice sharp knife that I've just put in the water here.
So all being well, I can slice through.
Oh my gosh.
That is going through like a glove.
Right.
Now what?
I can't see it from this angle.
(Barry gasps)
Heart shaped sushi.
I'm expecting this first one to be one of the worst.
Ah!
Oh my gosh!
That's actually worked really, really well!
What?
This is-
Come on.
Oh, that is so cool.
Some parts are better than others.
Look, a bit of a wonky heart.
Never push it there a little bit.
(laughs) Ah, yeah.
Oh, that's a really cool!
Maybe if you've got like a sushi loving partner
for Valentine's Day, that could be a thing?
But it's got, we're gonna add a little bit of wasabi paste.
That was quite a bit.
(coughs) Yeah.
Maybe that was a bit too much paste.
And they're really deceptive.
Sometimes in England you get some really bad ones.
That's got a big kick.
That's really nice.
It grew!
Right, should we call out a video?
I think I was most disappointed slightly
by the pizza cutter.
That could have been the ultimate thing,
but with a little tweaks and just knowing
that you have to half press it,
which it didn't say on the box, would have stunk him.
My favourite today is actually this baby,
which I don't want to, but I will give it away to patron.
