- Have you ever wanted to taste a fizzy strawberry,
a carbonated grape or even a tongue-tangling yoghourt?
Well hopefully today I'm gonna show you how, hopefully.
Hey everyone, hope you're well.
Welcome to My Virgin Kitchen, its Barry.
This is the second video
in the kitchen science testing playlist.
If you missed the snake thing that I made,
check that out after this video.
Some comments on that, not only was it about health
and safety, don't worry, I've upgraded.
There's no naked flame today
and I've got some decent gloves.
Also you guys suggested something called fizzy fruit
and we are trying that today for two reasons,
one because it looks awesome.
There's a video that you guys pointed me to
from people called ChefSteps.
Amazing channel, check it out.
Go have a little ganders and more importantly,
was this Halloween I ordered some dry ice.
I wanted to do a cauldron thing.
It didn't arrive in time.
It's arrived now so we're gonna do some fizzy stuff.
Fizzy fun.
(exhaling deeply)
Looks cool, don't it?
See?
Intentionally bad ice pun.
Alright, I'm going to show you something.
When dry ice melts, it does something different
to normal ice and I'm not the smartest tool in the box.
I didn't do very well at science at school.
Which somehow makes me the perfect host for this, right?
When normal ice melts it turns to water, as you know.
When dry ice melts, hence the cauldron thing
I wanted to do, it turns to CO2, carbon dioxide.
So it's like what's in fizzy drinks, basically.
So this spoon is actually, that's cold, right?
It's quite cold in here but this is warm compared
to dry ice, which is actually minus 70 degrees.
Hence my gloves.
I don't know if you can see the smoke coming off of that.
They're actually dancing a little bit on the spoon.
It's like the Riverdance, spoon edition.
So by putting this into some water,
you get a pretty cool effect and that was basically
what I was trying to do with the cauldron.
(dry ice bubbling)
I've kind of made a poor-man's cauldron, right?
So what's happening is rather than it melting,
this is, wooo, I feel like a witch!
Aah!
(laughing)
It's carbon dioxide.
One thing I don't know, if I.
(inhaling deeply)
Nah, I was gonna see I'd burp a lot,
but, it looks pretty cool.
Oh my gosh, (laughing) is that cool, Rob?
- [Rob] That's cool.
- Rob's watching, going, I'm glad he's got the gloves on.
Look at that!
(dry ice bubbling)
- [Rob] It's instantly froze on the spoon.
- Yeah.
That is proper Doc Brown with the DeLorean, right there.
Holy shmoly.
Alright, the gas has got to stay in there,
'cause that's what's gonna give it the fizz.
I'm not gonna tell you about everything
I've got on the board but basically, to make this work,
you need a high water content food.
So on this board here, as you'll see,
there's some that aren't gonna catch you by surprise
but also a few quirky ones like applesauce.
I think that's gonna be amazing.
We've got some ice lollies.
Not gonna be rocket science if it works
and also yoghourt, which surprises me.
It has a high water content, so it's got a high milk content
so obviously there's water in milk.
Let's do it.
Here's a cool box that I've got off Amazon
for a very, very cheap amount of money.
Now I don't think this lid is gonna do much
but it doesn't matter.
We'll come on to that in just a jiffy.
Let's get it off.
Obviously this is designed for like a cool box,
keeping your food cool.
The dry ice is gonna be a lot cooler
than what normally goes in here.
I don't know how much to add.
I'm just gonna make my own cauldron.
Basically cover the bottom.
Scary thing is, now I can't actually see the bottom.
(giggling)
Aaah!
Little bit more for good luck.
So we don't want the fruit,
wow that mist is cold, baby!
We don't want the fruit touching the ice directly,
otherwise it'll probably cling to it
and do nasty things.
So we've put down a tea towel.
I'm gonna take my gloves off,
'cause I'm feeling kind of protected now
and the fruit is gonna go in.
Gonna nestle the sauce in there and the yoghourt.
I'm gonna try find somewhere where it can,
do you know?
Kind of like on the sand and you put
your deck chair in there?
This is kind of weird.
Pineapple slices.
It's cold in there.
Celery.
I think I'm just gonna get creative
and just chuck the rest in and the ice lollies.
(laughing)
This is so weird.
Right, let's get that sealed up.
Lid goes on, apparently,
and even with the expensive, Amazon-inspired locking device,
it's definitely not sealed enough.
'Cause those gases can seep out, okay?
So we want to really seal them in.
You guys know how terrible I am with cling film.
I'm gonna wrap this, not just around there,
lots of times, all over.
So I'll make sure I'll do it carefully,
so I don't spill me yoghourt.
It proper is falling out.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to receive
a birthday or Christmas present from me,
this is pretty much it.
(laughter)
Nearly wrapping Rob's fingers to it.
(laughing)
- This is gonna look awkward on camera, isn't it?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(laughter)
- Oh, that hole in the bottom of it's cold!
- Is it really?
- Yeah!
Now you've got it.
- This is like a really bad version of the scene from Ghost.
(laughter)
Gotta really, yeah, that's pretty good, man.
Don't think much gonna escape from that.
(Barry huffing)
Here we have it and as I showed you earlier
with the water and the dry ice going in there,
the gas, that's basically happening right in here
and the only way it can really go,
apparently, is into our fruit.
So we're just gonna leave this overnight
and see what happens and I'm gonna take
this wig off for the tasty bit.
See you tomorrow!
Ouch!
(rooster crowing)
Oh, morning guys.
I'm excited.
I'm not gonna lie, I ain't bothering about the wig.
It's not about that today.
I am so excited to open this.
I'm not wearing my gloves
because I'm actually booked-marked a recipe
that's coming up next week, a new playlist.
Hopefully you'll be excited for that.
As we left last night, the gas or some air,
maybe, just a big air bubble was bulging out of this
and Rob and I kind of had this feeling.
We were like, is this gonna explode?
Is that actually the CO2 escaping?
We're not like, burping.
So hopefully it's still in there.
I'm generally really excited.
So let's open this up.
If you guys have enjoyed the video,
don't forget to subscribe for regular recipes
and food fun and of course if you like the science
experiment stuff, let me know down below
any cool ones that you know.
We could have actually done our own homemade dry ice.
I kind of avoided that.
I didn't know if you guys wanted to see it
but, being in England, it's really hard to get it.
So maybe I could show you how to get it,
and this is quite expensive.
So, any ideas, let me know.
It's not cold.
It's like, it's warm.
I don't, you gotta see this Rob.
I don't know, I can't work it out if it's worked or not.
Well the ice is gone.
I think it's worked, you know?
- The.
- The yoghourts like--
- They look weird.
They look different. - They look weird.
- They look different.
(coughing)
- Oh my gosh, there's still a bit of gas in there,
but all of the ice has gone and it is, it's touchable.
So, Rob, come have a little look.
We'll peruse before we get it out.
- [Rob] That looks frozen.
- [Barry] Yeah, that is really cold.
- [Rob] Odd.
- [Barry] The yoghourt is like, curdled.
I don't know if the yoghourt has taken all of the,
because that's like, that's rock-hard.
- [Rob] Is that rock-hard?
- Yeah. - It looks rock hard.
- [Barry] It doesn't look frozen though, does it, as much.
So I guess, oh look, what's happened to the lolly?
It's kind of--
- Disintegrated. - Disintegrated.
- [Rob] It died.
- And this other one's shrunk.
I dunno.
I hope this has worked.
(upbeat music)
Oh my god.
That's like eating a SodaStream.
(laughter)
- Ahhh!
Oh, that's got it.
That's really got it.
- These are going to taste grape.
- Mmmm.
- Yeah, it's sort of. - Really fizzy,
it tastes a bit like gardens.
- It's made them sweeter,
but it's like yeah, sweet gardens.
Yeah, sweet gardens.
- This is literally all I have left of the ice lolly.
Oh wow.
That's blimmin' amazing.
(sproinging sms tone)
Woo!
(laughter)
- Whoa!
That's in there, that's in there.
- Oh my god. - Whoa.
(discontented groaning)
- So strong.
- That tastes like fizzy mud.
- It's the weirdest dessert ever.
- An extremely limp piece of celery
that somebody's already had a bite of.
- I already like celery, anyway.
- Yeah, you put a bit of ice lolly with it.
(laughter)
It's like summer.
- I hate cucumber.
- Oh, that's cold.
That's actually solid.
Oh.
- That's disgusting.
I can't eat it.
- Some fizzy applesauce.
Oh, hoh hoh, that's actually really good.
It's really good.
It sort of like, and again, it's like it makes it
into some sort of pudding or something.
- Ooh, that's nice.
That's turned into like apple sherbet.
- I'm gonna have a big spoonful.
- Mmm.
That'd be really nice with ice cream.
- Yeah.
- It's just cold stuff.
- It's very cold.
- Wow, think I might go to the dentist
to get my teeth checked, 'cause that is, hey, whoa.
- Strawberry.
Ah, that's nice.
That is, I think that's the fizziest one,
for me so far.
Again, it doesn't taste like strawberry anymore.
It's like totally something else,
but yeah, that's really interesting.
- You can feel it's gonna be fizzy.
It feels funny, don't it?
- They're, um.
- Feels all--
- Squidgy.
So cold.
- It's like eating a cactus.
- Wow that strawberry is like eating a stinging nettle.
It doesn't even taste nice, so it's taken
all of the strawberryness out of it
and just shoved it full of carbon dioxide.
- Would you like a blueberry?
- Thank you.
They look completely normal.
Wow.
- Cool, yeah.
- So fizzy.
I like that. - You get a hit afterwards.
- It's weird, it's weird but it works.
Looks like it's got frostbite.
Smells like cheese but let's try the yoghourt.
Oh good gosh.
Urgh!
It's like eating fizzy baby food.
- Anything left?
Would you like to try the yoghourt or not?
- Well I dunno if you wanna try
a bit of this sweet ice lolly.
(laughter)
Mmm, I love ice lollies.
- Thanks for watching then, guys.
I hope you enjoyed the video.
Don't forget to check out that sugar snake video,
if you haven't seen it already.
If you do try this, in all seriousness,
please, please be careful.
It is very dangerous stuff but it's very fun.
So, I'll see you next time
