- We're changing the paprika game.
Ah!
(intense music)
Well, howdy doody dangly folks?
It's Barry here.
Hope you are well.
Are you well?
You look well.
You done something to your eyebrows, is it?
Yeah, really good, nice work.
Welcome to another Kitchen Gadget Testing video
the place in which I test gadgets.
I've been doing this for blimming years
and now everyone on the internet does it.
It's brilliant, right?
But it doesn't matter
because apart from plagiarism, we've done loads.
So before commenting down below and suggesting more gadgets,
do you have a little look and grab the popcorn
related to today's video and check them all out indeedy.
And also before commenting down below
some of them, whether they novelty
some of them can also help people get into the kitchen,
they help you with disabilities and things like that.
It has actually changed some of my subscribers lives.
It's amazing the messages I get.
And today, I'm very excited for two reasons.
You might have spotted the first one already.
In fact, let me step aside, see if you can spot it.
Yes, that is a seal.
(singing)
And her name is Rose, all right?
And the other reason,
hopefully today by the power of gadgets,
by the end of this video
we are gonna make paprika popcorn, with a dip.
Oh yes.
Paprika mayonnaise.
(doorbell rings)
The doorbell's just gone.
So as you know, that when I film this video
is nearly Halloween,
and where I live, they're doing this Halloween parade.
So we've just ordered this actual real life size skeleton
that Ben's gonna put it in a chair.
And also there's a six foot spider.
(laughs)
Right, but anyway, this gadget,
as you know I have a box full of gadgets in my garage.
It's about a hundred odd, 110 still there right now.
And there's some that come and go
and they find their way to the bottom.
This one, by Chef'n the Slicester,
has been with me for so long.
I think I've had it
I'm gonna say at least 18 months,
and it's not got much damaged.
I've looked after it.
I've tended to it, fed it,
give it water and all that sort of stuff.
Just like Rose.
But I don't actually know what it is.
So three thickness setting, cheese slicer.
Place the slicing blade down on the cheese
and then you press to slice down.
And it's by David Holcomb, who one day,
we've talked about him before with Chef'n products.
We will meet David and we will sing seal together.
This is a standard block of cheese
which as you know, like this, I absolutely detest.
I can't eat it.
Melt this up, ah, I'm covering myself in it.
Oh wow, it's quite light.
It's got a nice sort of
I like that sort of rubbery handle non-slip thing.
Good.
Oh, that's the thickness thing there,
you just literally turn that.
See this?
(laughs)
It's like Titanic, it's been 84 years.
As I turn this,
that does just basically just adjusts that bar.
That is literally it
but it is the perfect width of that block of cheese.
So I'm gonna try do it at a slight angle
so you can see both.
That is fitting perfectly on there.
It's not like there's generic size block for cheese.
I dunno.
And my hand is a little bit wet, but we'll just push down.
Oh, it goes down like a guillotine a little bit like that.
See that?
And that's just, I like that.
How I can just walk around now with my cheese.
I'm learning to tolerate cheese.
I think since I've just done so many videos
over the year, I used to hate just like eating.
Sorry, my hand is really wet.
I used to hate just picking up cheese like this.
I think one day, you know how your taste buds change
over the years, I personally feel like that's
what's gonna happen with me and cheese.
I used to hate tomatoes.
Ah. Yes.
And then we'll go thin.
Oh yeah.
Oh, that is thin.
Look at that.
And I think ideally to get the most out of your cheese
'cause our kids go through loads here in the house,
like it's quite expensive isn't it cheese,
just buy a cow, be easier.
But you always want it thin.
So I think would be the most popular setting.
So I can just literally go like that.
And I think actually as a gadget
to get the most out of your block of cheese,
this isn't actually that bad.
So it's been worth the wait.
I can't even swallow that 'cause it's got.
We put that in the microwave on a plate for a minute.
That, why can't I eat that?
It tastes creamier and more milky.
Do you wish you had a milk frother?
Well, I do too.
I gave mine away to a follower.
It doesn't matter.
This actually is something called a spice pen.
So basically you can decorate a foamy coffee
but it's not just used for that.
And I got the idea, 'cause it says on here,
don't just use like cocoa powder or whatever
for like the top of a coke
you know, coffee and stuff like that.
You can use pepper, paprika, parsley, cinnamon
ginger and red beet.
Wow.
We're gonna put paprika in this
and garnish our popcorn in it,
which we're gonna make in a popcorn maker.
But first I wanna see if this actually
does legitimately fire out paprika,
because then on a follow-up video,
I'll get a milk frother and then we'll just fire it
on a coffee, just for fun.
All right, so there's this little compartment here.
And even that measuring spoon
is a little bit too big for that gap.
Ah ha, paprika in my eye.
Strangely enjoyable.
Okay, so let's see.
It's like this.
(buzzing)
(laughs)
(buzzing)
For a moment it was barfing up paprika.
(clicking and buzzing)
It's not there, it's not doing it.
No!
That's rubbish.
I'm getting the first little,
look if I do it manually like that,
oh my gosh.
Okay, well I will order a milk frother
for the next gadget video and we will put cocoa in it
and try and do like a milk frother coffee thing.
'Cause maybe the paprika is too, not ground enough.
Maybe it's too chunky and too awesome for it.
But I'll use this in a bit anyway.
Look, that does work, but I'm doing all the work.
(buzzing)
Uh this ladies and gents is called,
is it the all-in-one one measuring device?
No, it's called the kitchen cube.
Do you see that?
This device is supposed to be your one-stop shop
for all your measuring needs.
Perfect for every kitchen, dorm, cabin and household.
'Cause we all live in a dorm.
All of us, the dorm of life.
Every purchase is one meal donated to a child in need.
I love that.
It is what it is.
There's no instructions in there.
It's just a big old cube.
So for example, this one here is a third of a cup, 80 mil.
Very specific though isn't it?
What if you want 75 mil?
Uh you got 60 mil.
You got 120 mil.
I like this.
You got 30 mil.
You got 50 mil.
You got half 7.5 so what's that?
Half a tablespoon, yes 7.5 mil.
And I don't know what that is.
What the heck?
Ah, that's one cup.
Now hopefully using the power of the kitchen cube,
this was from America by the way,
we can now measure something before our next gadget.
Because yes, and this, made by Betty Bossi,
this is a sauce maker.
We are gonna make paprika mayonnaise.
I'm sure it exists.
I've never made it.
I wanna make it.
I wanna share the world with it.
Let's do it.
This is actually known as the storage tank
for actually slowly releasing oils
when you make your mayonnaise and things like that,
you slowly incorporate those in.
I think it's that emulsification.
It's a lovely word.
That's what this enables it to do.
So we dump the bigger ingredients
into here and then add our oil,
we use oil, in here.
Awesome.
Oil-some.
The first thing I'm gonna do actually
is take my garlic clove and Barry Lewis gadget here.
Oh yeah.
We're also gonna add in an egg yolk, boom,
and the rest, I should be able to solve
with my kitchen cube.
Teaspoon, uh, half a teaspoon and a quarter of a teaspoon.
And one of the first things I need is actually
and I can use the very small pouring setting on this,
is a quarter of a teaspoon, of salt.
I like this.
I like the theory of it, that it's got
all the measurements there
but what I don't like already
that I have to brush that off.
And I just got out my favourite measuring spoons
that I use, are these ones.
I reviewed them ages ago,
they got like windscreen wipers on.
If that had some way of doing that
and I could just brush it off, but look,
I've got salt all over there.
But anyhow, I know it's the right measurement.
So I now need a teaspoon of paprika
and like normally with a measuring spoon,
you just shove it in
and you can like shimmy it off like this.
To do this, I mean, I can do it,
well, let's try it.
(laughs)
And I can level it maybe?
Yeah, but what my point was
then I would have to get a teaspoon to measure a teaspoon.
I really like, didn't get to enjoy the whole experience
of adding paprika in there.
Now this is where it might get a bit tricky.
This is mustard.
And again I'm doing this with a teaspoon anyway,
I need a teaspoon but now I've got look,
now I've got to get a teaspoon, to push out the teaspoon,
that I've measured with a teaspoon.
Oh, I really want to like it.
I'm sure it's useful in some ways.
And for the lemon juice.
Now this is a little bit easier
because obviously I did buy some lemons.
Trying to squirt that in there would be, really tricky
but I can fill this up and straight in there.
And I kind of get the point of that.
But normally you wouldn't have lemons like this
when life gives you lemons.
It's just, oh wow look.
At first it just splattered everywhere.
Okay.
It's all running into my bigger cup thing as well
but I now need that to measure me oil.
I need 80 mils of oil.
All right, so this can go into this now.
Ooh, what a lovely noise.
It's really nice sort of fit and I do like that.
There's sort of like a non-slip grippiness to it
and it fits really well.
I prefer sunflower oil normally
when I'm doing sauces and stuff.
Just a personal preference right.
Now that, is a potential oil spill waiting
to happen, isn't it?
What bit do you lift it up by and like to angle it?
Oh, 'cause we've now gotta get that
into our tank, haven't we?
Okay, oh my look.
(laughing) It's spilling out.
You gotta be quick and confident with it.
I mean the thought is there
and I think they have some really good
sort of, charitable aims with this company.
So, you know, they've got good intentions,
but you know, this has gotta work.
We put this down and can spin it now right.
And it will, as we spin, it will slowly release oil.
(gasps)
Yes it's coming out.
Can you see that?
Look at that.
It's seeping its way through.
That's cool.
(tambourine shaking)
We're making paprika mayonnaise, look.
(twisting and grinding)
Look, Halloween sound effects.
(scraping)
The tank is empty.
Ooh, most of it is on the prongs.
(scraping)
It's all really well mixed together.
Maybe that's what the noise was.
It was like the scraping of the beaters against the bottom
and that's ultimately what you want.
Let's have a
Ah. Hm.
Put our lid on it.
It's nice and sealed
(singing)
but we can keep this in the fridge and that is it done.
Not so sure about that.
That was better, but that's got potential.
Awesome.
Are you hiding from the skeleton, huh?
Caw, that was a spank.
We been talking about popcorn the whole video
and this is the popcorn maker today.
I've had about five popcorn makers
over the years so far sent to me.
But my favourite one so far
was the Star Wars one that I gave away
and I will be giving this one away too
because I don't want loads of popcorn makers in my house.
And generally, they all seem to work in different ways.
This one is the Yabano popcorn maker
and I think it's electric.
Incidentally, on any of the gadget videos,
if there's normally a link, an Amazon affiliate link,
if you click that, I get like two P
so with Christmas and birthdays and stuff like that
if you're interested, if I can find the link that is.
All right, so that's obviously your lid.
Big old bowl.
(gasps)
I wonder if that doubles up as the serving bowl.
If that does not, you and I
should invent a gadget that does.
I think that's what it's gonna do.
Oh, I can see already what's gonna happen.
I think it's gonna rotate and keep it moving
on this hot plate, that's gonna gradually evenly cook it
and it's gonna pop up so that all the kernels stay
at the bottom and the lovely cooked popcorn stays warm.
This could be amazing.
I think we've sussed out what this is gonna do.
Let's fill it with popcorn.
Now, this is one of my most favourite noises in the world.
(popcorn kernels hitting metal)
Don't know why.
I need 130 grammes, I should've been looking there,
up to and don't forget for a hack later on.
If you don't pop them all, we can use Mrs. Barry and I's
patented approved popcorn hack sack,
which is what people were calling it.
Someone sent me an amazing tweet.
I'll try and put on the screen right now
of how supermarkets are already copying it
in three different colours.
Crazy.
The other cool thing I like is we can use,
we're going back to vegetable oil now,
the cube for 30 mils of oil.
Okay, that's what it's cooking in
and I am gonna spill that.
But as long as I lift this evenly up like that,
and now I'm over it doesn't really matter.
So I can pour it like that.
So ultimately, if you are using this thing
and you're pouring it into a fairly large bowl
like that, you're probably gonna be all right.
So yeah, the cube's okay.
So we have to evenly distribute kernels around,
but then as it turns on,
we'll probably get that initial smoke,
amazing, but it's gonna rotate it.
(switch on)
Oh my gosh it's beautiful.
This is brilliant.
It's like a fairground ride.
We're gonna get the most amazing view of popcorn popping.
Look at that.
Like, it's not like it's covered in the sauce pan
with a lid or in a microwave or in a bag.
Now it doesn't have a timer.
Now you might think that's a bad thing
but it is a good thing.
Like I said before once these pop,
they double, triple in size, they'll go to the top
and the unpopped kernels 'cause they're heavier,
will sit at the bottom, hit the oil.
The only thing is, you might not necessarily
be able to see what's going on.
The oil is sizzling, so it shouldn't take much longer.
But it does say roughly five to six minutes.
So we're nearly there.
Oh, it's starting to steam a little bit.
(pop)
Ah ha ha, look at that.
Amazing.
Oh wow.
(popping)
(nostalgic music)
Smells like a cinema in here now.
It is rising up quite quickly.
Ha, it's just keeping it warm.
Look.
I'm wondering if there's going to be any,
ooh, there's always one.
Well there could be, there's always a few.
So now we take these bits
which are not on the heating element.
'Cause that's the hot thing there, look at that.
And then we go.
Ha, I left it on slightly too long,
but we both saw the moment, there was that moment
weren't there, where it just stopped.
You can just see where it scorched it a teeny weeny bit.
That is amazing.
I'm gonna let that cool down for one moment
while I show you one last emergency gadget.
This one's called a Splatypus.
Sorry, sorry, how, how good was that?
That was amazing.
It's basically a jar scraper,
but it's based on a platypus,
which is quite an underrated animal isn't it.
It certainly doesn't get as much seal love
as we do here. (laughs)
When you're looking for a snack
and an empty jar looks back,
Splatypus will work his way from bottom to top,
so you can enjoy every last drop.
Jar scraper, spatula.
The Splatypus.
So let's not beat about the bush here.
This is basically a silicon knife,
but a platypus themed one, which makes it 10 times better.
So, it's peanut butter, and I'm trying to aim here.
Can you see, it's fairly empty.
I don't wanna eat too much peanut butter.
Used to actually think it was a really bad snack for you
but all the healthy people like yeah, the healthy people.
There's just like, it's actually quite good.
And the dogs love it with bananas.
Just get that in there and scrape it up
and that's not, works that great.
Come on let's try the other,
okay, come on platypus.
Ah okay, there we go.
It is wiping that jar clean
which is great for any food wastage.
And there is some times you know,
when you've got that little jar,
I'm quite like this with Nutella and Biscoff.
You just wanna get that last little bit,
which of course, of course you can bang it in the microwave
which helps to loosen it up.
If you've never poured out warm Biscoff, ah.
(buzzing)
Still not working, but savoury popcorn
like some garlic powder and stuff like that sometimes,
onion powder, not good for a first date but.
(shaking)
We've now got perfectly coated paprika popcorn
with paprika mayonnaise.
It's actually my aim with these gadgets we do
sometimes to try and make it flow
so that the recipes link and the gadgets do.
Sometimes I find it quite tricky
but today has worked absolute charm,
apart from the cheese slicer and the Splatypus.
But hey, I've never dipped popcorn into mayonnaise before
but why can't you have a dip with popcorn?
I know it makes it soggy a little bit, shh, but.
(crunch)
We're changing the paprika game.
Ah.
That popcorn is so good.
So there we go then folks,
another kitchen gadget testing video in the bag.

before suggesting the gadget,
do put on in your sweatband have a Barrython
you're gonna grab the popcorn and watch the rest of them.

True story about Mrs. B.
I wasn't the one that pushed by the way.
