- Well, shall we just try it and give it a go?
(bleep)
- Oh, oh it's gonna attack me.
(laughing) (indistinct)
All right.
- Oh great.
- I got you a present.
- Thank you, I bought you a nice Christmas T-shirt.
- You did. - And you buy me.
- And I bought you. - A T-shirt
with my name on it. - Sorry.
Welcome to another kitchen hack testing video folks,
the playlist in which we test kitchen hacks
so you don't have to, or sometimes you do,
because they turn out rather stonk-in indeed.
Today, it's my turn.
- It is, your turn.
- Mrs. B. tends to come up with some rather stonk-in ones,
but I sometimes put it outta bag
and I've got a few today that I think you might enjoy.
So, without further ado. (hands rubbing together)
I haven't said this for a few videos,
'cause you've done the last few ones.
- Yep.
- Have you ever been in the situation
where you've made garlic bread and you thought,
oh no, I spilt it everywhere,
but at least I could soak it up into something
and make garlic bread simultaneously
with my chicken Kiev
so I've got garlic bread chicken Kieves?
- How do you spill garlic bread everywhere?
- Um, when you bake a chicken Kiev, right,
it spills and oozes garlic out
and sometimes- - Right.
- It goes in your baking tray,
or if you cook it straight up on the rack,
which some people do, apparently,
you get garlic everywhere.
- Yeah.
- So we're gonna avoid that.
Two fresh garlic chicken Kieves.
I spent about five minutes analysing
all the chicken Kiev brands and things available yesterday,
and these are the fattest and the most plump.
You don't know what's going on yet still, do you?
- I got an idea.
- Right. (sack rustling)
- Are you gonna put that on,
the chicken Kiev on top of a piece of bread?
- Yeah.
- Okay (chuckling).
- But that's it. (laughing)
(knife slicing package) Geeze.
(laughing)
Wow, oh, and don't hold back.
- Oh. - That is a smell.
- They stink.
- Come on now, let me smell that.
Ladies and gents,
have a smell of that. - Oh, that's like
pure garlic.
- [Barry] It's lush.
- [Mrs. B.] Should I like stab it?
- [Barry] Um, okay, stab one,
just a little incision, 'cause this is my fear, whether,
remember when we baked bread in the oven,
on a previous hacks video
and it kind of all
like cooked. - It was toasted.
- Yeah, it didn't really toast it amazingly.
Apparently halfway through cooking
you're supposed to turn the bread over
and it will create garlic bread.
So rather than the juices going in the tray
they'll go in the bread.
And make, simultaneously you're putting that in
and I'm gonna put a timer (pan clunking on oven rack)
for 12 minutes on there.
Have you ever been in a situation,
this is a lifestyle hack.
- Okay.
- Where you are going to give some money to a relative
for a present, okay,
sometimes a gift voucher is a lot easier, right?
- Right. - But it's been
in your bag for so long it's got scrunched up.
- Okay.
- It needs to look a bit neater, it needs to look fresh.
Where we going?
- Iron?
- No, we're going to my old moneybox.
I'd like to introduce you to my actual first ever bank.
This is what I used to keep my money in
and I now keep my foreign money in.
It's even got a Woolworths sticker on
so those of you from the UK will know how old it is now.
You see there's loads of coins in it,
but there are some notes and there should be
some scrunched up ones in here.
Mrs. B. is gonna get her hair straighteners
because, oh, hello. - Hey.
- With this hack we can hopefully make old money look fresh.
This is clean money laundering.
(coins jangling on counter)
Oh my gosh, yes, okay, so we've got,
(laughing) oh, look at that one, oh.
Imagine that I'm giving someone
a U.S. dollar bill for a present,
and it's like, oh no, look, it looks horrendous,
it's all scrunched up.
That's where the hair straighteners come in.
- Cause I really wanna give someone one dollar.
- [Mrs. B.] Like that?
- [Barry] Oh yeah, look at that, yes.
Look at that.
- [Mrs. B] I can see, that is cool.
- [Barry] That is incredible.
That looks like "Monopoly" money now.
- Yep. - That's all brilliant,
that's so cool.
That's right, so you're going back in there mate
and I'll see you in another 10 years.
- You think this is how they do it in the banks?
- Yes, mate.
(laughing)
Folks, we just made an executive decision.
It's about 10 minutes in and these Kieves
are not doing much so what we're
gonna do is. - Oh they are.
- Are they? - Look, that ones juices.
- [Barry] Are you sure, oh,
there is juice. - Yeah.
- [Barry] Well, I think we should assist one.
Right, I'm just thinking if I just make some holes
with a bamboo skewer, oh, there you go.
- [Mrs. B.] Yeah, there it is. - There it is.
I'm just gonna try and help this one a little bit.
I don't feel we need to turn the bread
over actually. - Okay.
- [Barry] I think that's gonna help, but either way,
it's quite neat, isn't it?
- Yeah. - Have you ever been
in a situation, Mrs. B.? - Yep.
- Where you've been given a yoghourt?
- Yes.
- And you don't have cutlery?
- Oh, okay.
- So you're going for a picnic, for example.
- Or go to work and I forget my spoon for my yoghourt?
- She does do that.
- Yep.
- She's like, baby please bring me my favourite spoon,
make sure it's the teddy bear one.
There's a hack. - Oh.
- If you have a foil lid, yoghourt, okay,
and there's other foil lid
based desserts available. - Yep.
- Or if you happen to have foil, rather than a spoon,
you should be able to do this, okay,
so let's show ya.
So what you do is you take your lid
and you fold across like that, okay,
and then you fold across again like that
to almost make a sort of ice cream cone shape,
okay, and then to make sure that this stays in place
because anything can happen,
a sudden wind could blast and stop it happening,
and you just fold it over there
and give it a little tail, okay.
Pop the ends out, you curve it a little bit like that
to make a sort of ice cream cone shape,
okay, like that.
So what now you've got
is the world's most convenient foil lid,
(slurping)
spoon.
- It's here- - I think it's really
a good idea. - I mean I would go
to a shop and go, hmmm, what a lovely spoon.
(laughing) I really wants to buy that spoon.
- I think that's a very good idea.
- Thanks, for reference Mrs. B just told me off camera
she would have pronounced that FAGE.
And not just like that,
I'm gonna let you guys interpret that
so I know we have some younger viewers watching.
- (laughing) No- - Yes you did.
- I didn't, why would you?
- [Barry] Hmm, this yoghourt tastes so FAGE.
- (laughing) I didn't say that.
- Oh, look, juices. - Oh, yeah.
- [Barry] There's juices, we need to get this out.
Can you see there's juices right there
and it's soaked into the bread.
- Oh yeah. - Oh, turn that over, Mrs. B.
Ooh. - It's got a
seep through any way. - It's sticking
to the other side, turn it the over, that's it.
- Like that? - Yes, mate,
back in the oven for a few more minutes then.
- Okay.
- This could work.
Mrs. B, have you ever been in a situation
where you have got a Yankee Candle,
or other candles are available,
I love Yankee Candles.
If I ever do a brand deal with anyone,
it would be Yankee Candle,
right? - Yep.
- Imagine this situation, you are a T-Rex,
so your arm proportion to the rest
of your body- - Yep.
- Is, is tricky so you can't reach the wick
in the candle. - Well, I can't
find 'em anyway I've got small.
- Yeah, but you're not a T-Rex
you don't have a tail, or you didn't star
in "Jurassic Park" really, did you?
(laughing) Did you?
So here is a way to
light a candle- - Yep.
- From a distance safely with a food item.
- Spaghetti?
- Yes it is.
- Ah, okay.
- You need one strand of spaghetti.
- Oh look, this works,
ah, that's such a good idea.
- Look at that.
- Quick.
- Oh, it's gone (laughing).
- You gotta be quick.
- All right, if you want.
- That's it, yeah.
(clapping)
Oh, I love that idea.
Next time we can't find the matches
when it's lighting the kid's birthday cakes,
just make sure we got spaghetti in the cupboard.
- Yes.
That's worked,
I think we let it cool slightly, yeah.
(knife crunching bread)
That's, you know, you're not gonna get it all out,
I mean that's more of the actual physical garlic itself
and the herbs.
And it's a bit crunchy.
Whoa, just hit a hair with a bread crumb,
help me, please help me.
Oh, no, don't wipe my nose.
(hand smacking)
- Maybe that's what you need,
I just knocked it out.
Cover one nostril and snort.
Cover one nostril that it went up,
like when Chloe got a bead stuck up her nose.
(crunching)
- Hmm.
- Oh, it's sort of got a butter taste to it.
- Yeah, you have a buttery, oily,
a hint of garlic.
- Yeah, it's like fried bread.
- Yeah, it's a mild. - It's quite nice,
this is a good idea. - Yeah.
- I like this one.
- It's a mild taste to it, isn't it?
It's like a mild garlic bread.
Oh yeah.
- And that is a really good idea.
- Have you ever been in a situation
where you've got a bottle of bubbly that you've opened
and you're like, oh, I need to save the sparkles,
I don't wanna drink all of this right now.
- Yeah, and then I put a spoon in it.
- Yes you do, yes you do,
because our fridge is full of bottles with spoons in it,
it looks like a weird wind chime.
This one's not about getting the cork out,
we did an amazing hack which works brilliantly
where you fire a chef's torch there
and it expands, check it out it's on
the "Hack Space," very funny.
We're not gonna do that, there's other ways,
if we had a sword, we have a sword don't we,
we have one by our bedside- (laughing)
Next to the axe.
We're gonna try and get the cork back in.
So let's just get the cork out.
(cork whooshing) Oh my gosh,
push, you can see it's heads, yes.
Mrs. B.
- Yes.
- [Barry] This is the cork
that you just extracted from there, but look,
look at that
and look at this. - Yeah, that's impossible.
- [Barry] There is no way that's going in there.
- No, it's not.
- [Barry] Well, apparently it can.
- I don't believe you.
- Hello, I live in cork.
- Don't say that.
- Sorry, all right, you look after the cork
I am going get,
that's a good catch,
I'm gonna get some hot water on,
we're gonna boil the kettle.
That's gone enormous.
I like the fact that it's- - What are you doing,
let it go. - Submerging it in warm water.
- That's not warm, that's boiling.
- Exactly, it's warm.
Do that for that, I think it needs to be in there
about a minute apparently.
Mrs. B. with a fork hack right there,
yeah, like David Blaine.
Oh my gosh, it looks huge.
That's not worked at all.
Oh, it's softer, shall we try?
- [Mrs. B.] What are we gonna do?
- [Barry] It's supposed to go in the bottle isn't it?
- [Mrs. B.] Well, this isn't going in.
- [Barry] Try and squeeze
the bottom end of it. - All right, all right.
- [Barry] Oh gosh, that's gonna need
some serious squeezing, isn't it?
- I told you it was just going to expand.
- Get back in there.
- Get back in there for longer?
- Yeah, it's obviously not cooked enough is it?
- So more water will go in there
and it will get even bigger.
- You've got a spoon up, (indistinct) have you?
Why did you just turn the camera off?
(laughing)
Mrs. B, well, you know when we're doing off-camera research
it's between, it's strictly between you and I.
- Have you bought the wrong kind of bottle
with a cork in?
- I'm not sophisticated, all right,
you know how I work.
- I said to you last night on the thing,
"It's not one that you put a corkscrew in
to get it out is it." and you went,
"No, one with a twisty thing on top" (laughing).
- Yeah, but some of 'em are plastic it's hard these days
and we'll (indistinct).
We'll do that on the next hacks.
- And I've got
a bottle of Prosecco, thanks. - Yeah, stick your spoon
in that and. (slurping)
Have you ever been in a situation
where you bought your wife a bottle of Prosecco
without her even realising
'cause you just love her for who she is.
(laughing)
We'll do that one again, don't worry,
you're gonna love your Prosecco,
you've already got your spoon in it,
it's banked- - Yep, it's back
in the fridge. - It's labelled,
but as a token for my love, on our wedding day,
we put these things called rings on our hands,
the priest- - Yes.
- Blessed our rings
didn't they? The vicar.
- The vicar, so some of you have actually noticed this
in the last year, maybe,
we were out in the shops because the ring that I bought,
my actual original wedding ring,
which was blessed by the- - Vicar.
- Is not this one. - No.
- Because the other one, because I lost a bit of weight,
the other one doesn't fit my finger as well as,
as this replacement one which is a little bit cheaper,
I bought it for, no, I still show people I'm married,
'cause I get a lot of attention, you know.
- You could just get the other one resized.
- I can't, that's the point, I can't get it resized.
- 'Cause you can't find it.
- No. (laughing)
I went to get it resized
and 'cause of the material
that it's made of, right? - Cheap (laughing).
- It's not, so this one was blessed by Barry.
Well that, look at that.
- How many people have two wedding rings?
(box snapping shut) - But that's much heavier.
This, I don't know what material it is.
(ring pinging off cabinet)
- That is heavy, is that like titanium?
- Did she see?
I don't know, you see that is my wedding ring,
oh, it's so cheap.
- It was. (laughing)
I know by the you went, when we were buying them
you went, you went,
"We'll just get me a cheap ring
because I'm more likely to," this is what you said,
not me. - Okay, yeah I'm sure.
- "That you were more likely to lose it
so there's no point buying an inexpensive one."
- Yeah, well we can see look,
how easy that comes off, okay?
So we need a glue gun.
We're gonna run a bead of glue inside the ring
and then once it cools, okay,
it should fit snug as a bug and I'll wear it,
that's my promise, I will wear it until it falls off,
or until the glue
wears away. - Till the end of the day.
Yeah, will it wash away?
- I don't know, well, that's what we're gonna find out,
it's gonna get dirty, isn't it?
- I got it, you have to roll it.
- Yeah, don't do it all the way around.
- Don't?
- No, about there is perfect.
Wow, okay.
- That's really hot now.
- Brilliant, well, we need to keep it warm
for the final hack.
- You didn't even get it on.
- No, but look.
- Well, that other one is rubbing you.
(glue crunching) (laughing)
- Oh no, look at that, no,
oh cool, look a replica though of it
I'm gonna put that on eBay.
Well, after all that. (ring pinging)
- I think maybe we should've of let it cooled a bit quicker,
a bit longer.
- No, I think that's not gonna work, at all.
Keep that glue gun, Mrs. B.,
'cause you're gonna stick some chopsticks to a fan.
- I mean, yes, you went and bought that fan last night.
- I'm married again, sorry ladies.
(laughing)
What's funny about that?
- No, I'm sorry, that was pretty bad,
I don't why I laughed like that, I'm sorry.
Ah-ha, he's mine.
- Oh yeah, yours (laughing).
Good recovery.
Last night I went out shopping for ingredients,
I bought a bottle of Prosecco
for my lovely wife- - Aahh.
- Which she'll never try it though for now,
and I bought some ingredients,
and I popped to my sisters, (ah-ah-ah)
for some chopsticks because we have chopsticks here.
- Somewhere. - Somewhere,
we don't know where they are.
- In the garage some where?
- No, the dog's probably eat 'em or something, yeah.
And I also bought this desk fan, okay.
There's a guy that I bought,
he was a Londoner when I picked it up from the local shop,
Argos, I'll tell you that.
- And it was like one degree
last night. - It was one degree,
it was really cold. - It was like icy.
- It was like 8:00 p.m. at night,
and he's like,
"Whoa, blimey mate, a bit cold for that isn't it,
you don't want fans on now?"
I was like, "Oh, it's a long story, it's for that."
"I was gonna say, it's like,
it's gonna be a bit cold, and you don't want (indistinct)
for cooling you down, aren't you cold enough?"
"Like, no mate, it's for hack video,
it's a long story, it's for, how to do hacks."
Oh, a big fan of your work, Mrs. B.
(aahh)
It's been unpackaged and it's a rechargeable one,
it's a USB thing, so we've got it on the go,
we need to get the cover off of it.
- What is this hack?
- Chopsticks, now I'm not gonna tell you.
Give me a big ole splotch, a big ole puddle
of hot glue, Mrs. B.
Yeah, loads of it.
A big ole pile.
All right, that's amazing.
- I'm stuck. (laughing)
- Now, have you ever been in the situation
where you have wanted to beat some eggs,
but you don't have a whisk,
you don't have an electric whisk,
you don't have a fork, in fact, you have nothing
other than free chop sticks,
a hot glue gun, and a fan.
- Okay, we're gonna whisk eggs with that?
- Yeah.
That' one's a bit wobbly isn't it?
- Well, shall we just try it and give it and give it a go?
(beeping)
- Oh, oh it's gonna attack me.
No, it's gonna get faster.
(laughing)
- I couldn't help it (indistinct).
(laughing)
- Oh, I don't know what happened.
(laughing)
Was that the fast setting?
That's what (indistinct). - I don't know.
(laughing)
But if I'd, I turned over the plug
thinking it would (laughing) stop.
- Cause it's rechargeable isn't it?
Oh my gosh.
We need to protect the pugs and ourselves.
Do you have a crash helmet?
Yeah, that's the plan, but a, yeah,
oh, we haven't gotten any eggs out.
- Shall I try it?
- I just. - Or wait for the eggs?
- It just looks so weird.
- Shall I put it in?
(sticks banging bowl)
- (indistinct) go, oh no.
I'm gonna make it go faster.
(sticks banging on bowl)
It's working.
- There you go, get some height on it.
- [Mrs. B.] Just that one, for I turn it back,
and whoa.
(sticks banging on bowl)
- That's worked, didn't it?
- Yeah.
- Well, shall we get rid of all of our whisks now?
This is quite clearly safer.
We'll, we'll leave that as a success,
or do you wanna do that, so I'll leave you to it.
That's not height.
- (indistinct) Put it back
in the eggs. - I know, hello,
hang on, oh gosh.
(sticks banging bowl)
(laughing)
And then you can cool yourself down afterwards.
Well, we're gonna have an omelette for,
for lunch. - Yep.
- But folks I think we will shall call that a day
for the hacks this time (laughing).
- Okay, yes, I think we should,
I think this one (indistinct). - Boy, this one
has been crazy.
We will try the cork one next time.
Don't forget to have (indistinct) for now,
go and check out the rest of the hacks video
and subscribe for regular videos,
over 1500 videos on the channel.
- Yes, so, I'm just picking the glue off.
- Are you?
- Yeah. - I've gotta give 'em
back to my sister. - Yes, you do.
- All right, see ya next time.
- [All] Bye.

- [Barry] It might start stiff and then go floppy.
(laughing)
- Oh, that's so (indistinct).
- I don't know how much of this clip you're gonna see,
but Mrs. B.'s kinda lost it.
