- Oh, yeah.
- [Stuart] Getting actively dangerous.
- Beck?
- [Beck] What?
- I'm a bit worried about Stuart.
- [Stuart] Do not try this at home.
(upbeat music)
- Hello everybody.
It's Barry here.
Welcome to my kitchen
and a very special Will It episode with Mr. Stuart.
Stuart, do we need these masks on?
- [Stuart] I suppose we don't really, do we?
- Yeah, I just like the socially distance thing.
Yeah, I think we're all right.
I like your mat.
Do you wear that in the shops?
- Well yeah, I don't trust those paper ones.
- This is going to be a Will It socially distance waffle.
As people who should know, I live on the west coast
of England, Stuart lives on the east coast.
And although I was willing to travel to his house
with a perspex screen, we figured for health and safety
with the way the world is right now, to do it like this.
And it's quite a cool setup.
- Working quite well so far, I'm expecting some
match fire in a second.
- Yeah, definitely.
So there's a good reason for this.
Something very important has happened, hasn't it Stuart?
- We're releasing our feature film
Ashens and the Polybius Heist.
- Woo hoo!
- It's featuring
- That is, I do feature in it.
I play Chef Assistance and I wear a colander bowler hat
which I gave away to my Patreons, but I tried
to get a replacement and they're on Amazon
for like 40 quid at the moment.
So, you know, and there was no estimated delivery time.
I think they're in demand.
Massive shout to Stuart, in the movie I was lucky enough
to appear in that, even have some, a few lines.
Well why'd you make me wear that?
Doesn't make sense.
- [Man] Shut up.
- Stuart what is your problem?
- And just be a part of it, they worked so hard on it.
Ashens and the Polybius Heist.
There's links down below to get it
'cause it's out right now.
If you wanna see me try and act,
if you wanna see Stuart act, there's Dan The Cube in it,
loads of familiar faces, right?
- Oh yeah, you'll recognise quite a few people I feel.
- Yes.
- But not gonna wear that Sonic mask at all times.
- Yeah that's it, I play the role
of cheap Sonic the Hedgehog.
Ah, right, shall we crack on?
- Let's do this thing.
- We've got some requests for Will It waffle,
many interesting ones.
And we're gonna start with a rather well-known one.
- Okay, we both got the same bottle line haven't we?
- Yeah. - For control purposes.
- I believe so yeah.
We've given some of each other
some unofficial health and safety tips off camera
but we're gonna come back and taste each one yeah?
So the first waffle thing to be waffled
is Mr. Stuart, the Big Mac.
So ladies and gents right here, I have a cold Big Mac.
- [Stuart] Stone cold, been in the fridge overnight
just the way you're like it, look.
Mm, great, the meat's disintegrated.
That's good.
- I'm trying to work out right now
whilst I get this waffle maker set up,
'cause normally I would spray oil it,
I don't know.
- [Stuart] Oh, I've forgotten to spray oil on.
Oh no, quickly, to the oil-o-tron.
- I'm not gonna use any oil.
I think it's gonna toast it and squish it.
I think this is gonna work.
I do like the fact that somewhere else in the UK right now
there is someone other chap doing this.
- [Stuart] My fingers got stuck in it though.
It's a weird thing a Big Mac,
it's remarkably moist for a food stuff, isn't it.
Lotta sauce going on, right.
- It's gonna melt that cheese.
But most importantly I might just push
it slightly to the back.
So when I push it down, it might push it forward.
Oh, here we go.
- [Stuart] You will close.
- Lock it in, lock it in, come on now.
- [Stuart] Not quite.
- It's locked.
- [Stuart] Yes, victory.
Right, let's give this a few minutes.
And horror will ensue.
- It's been about 90 seconds.
I don't know how long Stuart's doing his for.
- [Stuart] About five minutes I suppose.
- This is already cooked, so we're more like toasting it.
This is more like a, a waffley panini.
I'm gonna try it.
Yes!
Oh my gosh, the cheese is melted.
Look at that.
It's all warm through.
It's squished together.
That looks amazing.
(laughing)
I'm gonna have to get that cheese
out a little bit for now, but that's it.
Now Stuart doesn't know I'm gonna do this.
Cold McDonald's fries are horrendous and some nuggets.
Again 90 seconds with that one.
(laughing)
They're my best work.
They taste like they've just been made again.
Just sending Stuart a message saying, okay?
- [Stuart] Right, I feel that is long enough.
Let's turn it off there, and open it up
and oh my god.
(laughing)
Well it's certainly a waffle.
Yeah, can I can actually get it out?
Oh dear, maybe I left this
in a bit long actually I don't know.
- Getting a bit worried here. I've not heard from Stuart.
My Big Mac that's cooled and warmed,
could get cold again.
And it smells so good, I wanna eat it.
- [Stuart] I think something's gone hideously awry
down at the bottom, the top looks all right.
But I'm not entirely convinced by that.
- Just wondering actually if he struggled getting it out
'cause the base was a little bit soggy.
- [Stuart] If I can get this under, I can get some sort
of semblance out, there we are.
Hey, and that's just all mashed up.
- Let me know when ready.
- [Stuart] I got the corner, yes.
Oh, oh.
- Beck?
- [Beck] What?
- I'm a bit worried about Stuart, he hasn't rung back.
- [Stuart] Great. Yeah.
I'll have to eat that with a knife and fork I think. Crikey!
(laughs)
- Hello.
- How did it go?
- Is half of yours stuck in the waffle iron?
- I think just from experience, I'm okay.
But I could see why you might have
had a struggle there mate.
Was it a bit soggy?
- Yeah, very soggy.
- Ah look, bon appetit, we got the same thing.
(laughing)
Yeah. - How much of yours was left
in the bottom of the waffle iron?
- Oh no, no I managed to get it all out.
I just, and it does clean itself quite easy.
Here we go.
- Mine's slightly hard actually.
I think 'cause most of the damper lower layer
has remained in the waffle iron so.
- Oh nice.
I do like it, mine's still warm,
the cheeses is melted, it tastes really nice actually.
- I think I left it in too long. It's slightly hard.
- Yeah, I did mine for like 90 seconds.
(choking and laughing)
- I did mine for about six minutes.
(laughing)
- So, number two.
- Number two.
- The pot noodle.
So ladies and gents a pot noodle,
an instant pot thing in the UK.
You probably get these all around the world.
Different colours and flavours, this is a well known brand.
- [Stuart] If you're not aware of a pot noodle,
it's like an old British take
on instant noodles and ramen and that kind of stuff.
Quite sort of gloopy.
- [Barry] This is a true story folks.
Before I started my channel, I used to survive on these.
- [Stuart] Now I am going to run this through one of these.
A sieve, because this is obviously far far too watery
to actually work.
- [Barry] There we go.
What I'm gonna do so I can really manipulate it,
this time I'm not gonna turn the waffle maker on first.
I'm gonna sit in there, once I'm happy
I've dried out as best I can.
- [Stuart] I'm gonna put them in this side
'cause I still haven't managed to get that one
entirely clean from the Big Mac as yet.
Right, in we go.
(sizzling)
Oh yeah, it's making all the right noises.
- [Barry] All right folks, I feel very confident about this.
- [Stuart] This is gonna be an horrifying mess.
- [Barry] Let's push this down.
- [Stuart] And I don't know how long to leave this,
much like I didn't with the last one really.
An amount of time?
- So whereas the Big Mac, needed about 90 seconds
to be just to warm it through,
I feel like this might need longer
to properly toast it and grip together those noodles.
So I'm gonna go for round about four to five minutes.
Almost like a waffle batter.
- [Stuart] I think I might give it like a minute.
- Let's have a little look.
Ah yeah.
Ah, starting to see those indents.
- [Stuart] Oh.
Not so good, close it close it quickly.
Mm, well I think it's gonna take a while
due to still the high water content of this.
So yeah, let's check back in a minute or two.
- Ready for this?
That's been in there about seven minutes
and you can see a light charring
around the edges of the grid that the waffle maker creates.
And you can also see that it has compressed it together.
Now this is extremely delicate.
If I try and take this out right now, it will fall apart.
So I'm gonna let it cool down.
So it still is slightly warm and get that out hopefully,
hopefully, in one piece.
What I'm gonna do, is I'm gonna stick this tray
in between the two and clamp it together.
Turn it upside down, oh my gosh.
(laughs)
That's what I'm talking about.
(laughs)
- [Stuart] So I gave it about four, four and a half minutes
and it seemed to be getting quite burned
at the top and bottom, particularly there.
Dunno how Barry has done with his, but I'm hoping no better.
- [Barry] Look at that.
That's still roasting hot.
- [Stuart] It's not gonna come out.
It's not really, oh.
- [Barry] I would love to set up a pop-up cafe
and sell that to people.
- [Stuart] Mm, hmm.
- [Barry] And we've got ourselves a pot noodle waffle.
Oh my gosh.
- [Stuart] Part of it looks kind of like a waffle.
So how'd you get on Barry?
- Yeah, not bad.
There we are.
(laughing)
Sorry about that.
Oh.
- Mine did, how long did you leave yours in for?
- A little bit longer and then I let it cool
and then flipped it out.
So, yeah. Sorry.
(laughs)
- Rock-hard burnt pot noodle, lovely.
- Do you know what?
You're right.
(laughing)
- Be better, or is yours as bad as mine?
- It's just a dry pot noodle.
(laughs)
- Yeah, it's really not good.
- No.
- What's last, bear in mind it'll take me
at least four years to clean out the waffle iron.
- Okay, yeah this might get messy this one.
- Okay.
- Lasagna.
- When you said messy, I knew you were gonna say that.
- Yeah, yeah.
Just before you go, not only
one do you think this will work?
- Mm.
- But two, what is your favourite part in the new film?
Apart from the ones that you're in and I'm in.
- It's so wonderful Barry.
(laughs)
There's a very specific joke and I can't tell you it
'cause it gives things away.
- [Barry] Okay.
- [Stuart] But something which I enjoyed in the script,
in the way it was delivered by the actor, is so good.
And I've seen it for like 500 times now
and it still makes me laugh every time.
- Okay, I think I know which one you mean.
We're having a little secret showing aren't we?
- No, that was the last, two nights ago mate.
- Oh yeah.
(laughs) I did see that, like ah yeah that's last week.
Oh no, well I'll wait like everyone else.
And pre-order it with the link below.
Also do you think this is lasagna's gonna work?
- No.
- All right, beef lasagna.
Microwave three and a half minutes
and this is direct heat so.
(laughs)
- [Stuart] My girlfriend was excited
that we'd got a waffle iron.
She's not gonna be so excited when she sees it's now ruined.
And I haven't even put the lasagna in it yet.
- Lasagna was heavily requested folks.
Oh, oh my gosh.
That surprisingly worked quite well.
- [Stuart] Squish.
Oh no, it's all coming oh no, oh no.
Lasagna error.
It's too late, just go for it.
- I think this is gonna work.
- [Stuart] I should've put it in the middle.
Right, let's just turn it on and hope for the best.
- That has been two minutes, that's it.
And it might be all it needs.
Oh my, look at that.
Can you see?
That shape is phenomenal, oh my god.
- [Stuart] Ah god.
So it's been in a couple of minutes.
The waffle iron has heated up and yeah
it's got kind of mad professor's laboratory
thing going on with them.
(laughs)
I'm slightly scared to open it up, frankly.
It's kind of spitting everywhere.
Oh, I'm gonna be very careful
but I need to see how it's doing.
(sizzling)
It's doing like that.
I think there's just too much liquid in it, frankly.
This is not gonna go well.
- Ah, I can see brownish down at the bottom.
I think we're gonna quit while we're ahead here.
If Stuart doesn't do that baking tray method on this,
that's gonna be a blooming nightmare to get out.
- [Stuart] Right, we're about seven or eight minutes in now.
And I'm calling it, I've turned off the power
in the hopes that this'll become a bit more cohesive
inside over time.
But it was like getting actively dangerous.
There's like boiling hot oils,
just spewed all in front of the sandwich toaster.
This was not a good idea.
Do not try this at home.
And inside, I mean the top's gonna risk take it.
I can smell a bit of burning yeah.
That's exactly what I was expecting to see.
(laughing) - I don't know what to do,
but like last time when we flipped it
if I do that with this method
which I'm gonna do now, this side
which is the side I wanna be the top
will be at the bottom.
So we're gonna have to,
we're gonna have to flip it internally
which it should be fine because it's clamped it together.
We have to get it like this.
(laughs)
Yes.
- [Stuart] Yeah, you need like to get
an industrial cleaning team on this one.
- This is why I hate this virus.
If I was there, I could help with Stuart right now.
He's messaging me saying, five minutes in
this is not working at all.
He said that five minutes ago.
I probably cooked that for like three minutes max.
- [Stuart] By using the burnt stuff as a handle,
we can burn ourselves.
- [Barry] Oh brilliant.
Oh, stringy cheese.
- [Stuart] Mm, there we are, perfectly waffley.
If I flip this over I think it'll look a lot better.
Well it does look better, but still looks dreadful.
- Hello, you all right?
- [Stuart] Yeah. Yeah.
That's, bloody hell.
It spat boiling oil, like halfway across the room.
- Oh my gosh.
(laughs)
- [Stuart] Do you know it's a proper mess.
Waffle iron's ruined, I can't do a fourth one.
(laughing)
- Oh no, okay.
Ooh, that looks like a roast dinner.
- I left mine in too long.
It was like too watery, too watery,
and then suddenly it's burnt.
- Ah no, I've had mine
- Yeah.
- And just tastes like a lasagna to be honest.
- Burnt pasta.
- Oh no, ah.
- Long now we'll go onto something that's awful.
- Oh really?
Oh, maybe you slightly overcooked it.
I don't, you all right?
- Yeah, can't chew that.
Should we try something that will just work like spam?
- Yes.
Spam is my favourite out of all the selections.
Should we do that?
Yes, just one last one?
- Okay, I can't promise, but we're gonna try
at least clean the half off the waffle iron.
- All right no worries.
Well, let's do that as a bonus scene
and if you want to like, as any plugs for the movies
but the Vimeo link, is that the best one or?
- Well, you can get it on iTunes,
- Ooh.
- You can get on Amazon.
You can get it on Google Play
or YouTube movies or whatever they call it this week.
But equally it's available on Vimeo.
Vimeo will give you a 4K downloadable file
with no Vic DRM, the others won't.
But of course maybe you've got all your movies
on iTunes or something.
So it's up to you.
It's the same price everywhere.
- And do you want people to leave reviews and things?
Would that help?
- Oh yeah.
- If they like it?
(laughs)
- Didn't like it, pretend you did.
- Right.
(laughing)
That's great, all right.
Well, I did mine on Vimeo and so
I will be leaving a review once I do get my download
and I'm looking forward to that
now I've missed my special screening.
So thanks Stuart.
Don't forget to subscribe to Stuart's channel
and check out the rest of the Will It videos
and Bashens and all the other videos we do together
from time to time, my brother from another mother, right?
- Well yeah, absolutely.
- And well, let's finish this video
but then bonus scene spam time, spaffles.
- Bonus spam, the best of all spam.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
- [Voice Over On Film Clip] Have you ever heard
of the Polybius?
The infamous arcade game that can control people's minds?
It's an urban legend.
- It's way too dangerous.
(explosion and police siren)
- This is absolutely hopeless.
- That's not a good way to start a speech.
- Oh, how I'll regret my old friend.

(rap music)
- Tins of spam, effectively processed pork and ham
all cooked through, ready to eat.
Ah, I'm not a huge fan of this
but I did once make spam fritters here
on the channel and I loved them.
So I'm hoping, smells like dog food so much.
- [Stuart] I'm gonna put in a couple of meaty slices
from the middle, marvellous and I'm keeping entirely
to this side 'cause this has just got little bits
of burnt Big Mac and stuff on it.
But this is essentially a toxic waste dump.
- [Barry] I might regret this but I'm gonna get one hand
and I'm going to press that spam in.
- [Stuart] Oh no, I think we're gonna be all right.
Not much to go wrong with this. Let's be fair, right?
Out ya come spammy, into the junk folder with you.
- Ooh, ladies and gents, I give you
(laughs)
The Spaffle.
- [Stuart] I've just discovered the digital radio
to the side has been absolutely plastered
with hot lasagna oils.
So that's gonna be fun cleaning later.
Might be new radio time.
Anyway, let's try a bit.
(chewing)
- Salty isn't it?
- Yeah, I don't like it.
Even if it is disguised as a waffle.
- [Stuart] Mm, that's much better than it is cold.
I deem this a success.
There we are.
We got something out of today
other than hot oil plastered everywhere.
- Check out Stuart's film.
(upbeat music)
