Hello everyone it is barry here welcome to my virgin kitchen hope you are well today
is another food gadget review video if you have missed any of the others there is a playlist
with a link up here and down below but today's is a bit different because it is one kitchen
gadget this is a destapa banana which sounds like a rapper here comes the destapa banana
it is a weird looking thing but basically with this you can hollow out a banana and
put in a filling of your choice, the banana of a thousand flavours is how they have marketed
it massive shout out to my friend paul from new York who managed to ship this thing over
for me because I was struggling to get it here in England, it is Argentinian device
but also available in Australia but not quite the uk it does look like something Austin
powers would be proud of we will not go any further than that it has a nice filling tube
too we turn it over loads of ideas what you can put in there hard stuff apparently liquid
stuff so we will do a mix of that we have a diagram here with the base the banana holder
the head, what does that say stainless steel corer and banana centre removal slide I am
trying to read upside down but there we go it looks pretty cool indeed I am a bit sceptical
as bananas are curved so we will have a go follow the instructions and see how we get
on. Oh and in case you are wondering I am wearing
my barshens tshirt today that is a joint channel I do every Friday with stuart ashen and also
a podcast too so check it out if you have not already and I am actually mulling over
with these videos rather than loads once a month maybe once a week like barrys gadget
of the week so you can get a bit more out of it, let me know down below what you think
of that, anyhow. Lets get it open. Oh wow there it is it is pretty good quality
actually and there is the tube we can fill any flavourings in now normally I do not read
the instructions but I think I will have a glance at these but we will cut to that. I
have been looking at the instructions now for a good 5 minutes and even though there
is English and diagrams I am still not confident I will fully do it right but we will do our
best, what I have realised is this base bit is pretty pointless it is more of a stand,
in the middle we have the red bit and the stainless steel coring thing so that is going
to do the hard work and then this I was expecting it to be a flashy thing I do not know, all
it is are banana tongs it has a curved thing here, so we take the banana which is obviously
very curved we put it in upside down with that black bit showing and the stem bit at
the end, shove this in right into the top like so as much as we can that is sticking
up right, so all we do is try and manipulate it and grip it together and hold it in place
so we have a straight banana. Then we pierce the top with the metal bit,
yeah that did pierce then we make sure this red bit is flush push it in and twist the
banana twist it down there is a bit of banana residue happening there but ok, it is working
ok so far it has not burst out the sides which was my fear oh the skin has split there but
it has not exploded and we need to peel it anyway, then apparently what we do there is
banana gunk on this we put our thumb on the red thing oh my gosh that was getting a lot
lighter as I was pulling that out it looks like we have cored it, then in here look it
is like a banana cheese string. So lets see if this has worked we can now embrace the
curve that is fine there is a hole in there so we can now add our fillings of choice.
One of my favourite fillings is Nutella I am sure you guys will agree with me I have
just melted this up and put it in the filling bottle. So we are going to grab the hole like
this I am still fascinated by that we just syringe it in bit of height so you can see
it show you it is going in there so I will go all the way til it reaches the top.
Just giving it a tap as I have been filling it up it would reach the top then an air bubble
would hit the surface and sinking down reaching more filling just gonna check that does look
full, so I think we are ready to try this, just going to peel it I guess. Here we go.
There we go then so that banana is perfectly fine it has the sauce in the middle and if
I break it off like so oh wow, chocolate in the middle lets have a taste, that is amazing.
I also was not watching what I was doing and a lot of it spilled on the counter so eat
it fast. So just to test the flexibility of this I have cored out another 2 bananas one
of them I chopped up some chocolate cake rammed it full it is quite weighty and this one has
some chocolate matchmaker chocolates in it basically firm sticks you get here in the
uk you could also use those coffee wafer ones that recommends those on the box lets try
these out this one is the one with the sticks of chocolate in so you get a nice crunch going
on. Ok it is already broken for me I was expecting a snap but it was like yeah I like this thing
too. I am sure I read somewhere that is the official end to peel a banana but I always
use the other one anyhow let me know down below this is the one filled with cake we
break it in half look at that a banana looks like eyes amazing, prank your friends put
tomato sauce in these and I guarantee they will never talk to you again.
There we have it then folks the destapa banana really impressed with this let me know down
