Feeling upset and sad and your videos always cheer me up and make me laugh. Hope this one makes me laugh as much as the rest of them do. Keep up the fantastic work.

@@tore650 Way to be bitchy about answering a question. To the person who asked, it's an omelette tray. If it works like mine the stem comes off the egg holder and you set the omelette tray on it.
Yhe..I remember then from when I was young. They're useless. Plastic is a material that does not conduct heat or cold very good...so you got luk cold drink for a long time...
We had some when I was a kid, we used it as a toy though, so I had no idea what they were😂 found some in a store a few months ago, and then I thought of playing with them as a kid. I was 25 years old when I figured out what the things I used as a toy when I was a kid actually are😂😂 but to be fair, before I saw them there, I hadn't seen them in 18-20 years😂😂
Me: Stumble on a random Barry video Friday night. Barry: People spend their weekend watching the entire playlist Me: haha who does that?! Me on Monday still watching Barrys playlists: I do that apparently 😂😂
Same! I binged nearly the entire library after watching one video. He's quirky, funny, very approachable, the kids are adorable and Mrs Barry is a saint for putting up with him lmao!
@tyrone utiger the tray is actually for making an omelette if it's anything like the one I have. You do out water directly onto the boil plate (same as the Toast and Egg or Toast and Beans toasters)
@@johnmccallum8512 if you don't over boil and scorch the water there's nothing to clean. Just a quick wipe out with a cleaning cloth. It's water nothing more.
to be fair though, it did say to wait for the buzzer sound before switching off and he did do that as soon as the click sounded although he had noticed the light had gone off earlier so maybe it was a fault with the gadget and the clicker sound should have happened when the light went off? i mean it did seem a bit cheap as the power button was just ornamentation... >.> if its useless then why have it there?
Barry, I own a Copper Chef version of that egg maker and absolutely love it. It has an automatic shut off, does up to 14 eggs and has a tray for poaching. The best part is the boiled eggs, though, because the shells come off so easily and it's a really simple, quick way to have boiled eggs in the morning. Edit - The eggs from mine are always perfectly cooked, too...not with that sulfur ring around the yolk. The tray is for making scrambled eggs/omlettes, and ours got a brown spot on the metal bit as well, so we switched to using filtered water. I think it's just the impurities in tap water burning on the metal. Not really dangerous, I don't think, just not very nice to look at.
Why should he? I love Barry, but he is self aware of his issues, and if he really wanted to change it, he could just read the instructions. But when he dosen't, and stuff goes wrong, 2 things generally happen. Either, you get a "toaster incident" which, if memory serves ended up on trending, or people in the comments rush to comment without finishing the video, so he gets loads of viewer engagement, which helps him show up in the recommended tab.
@@JackBealeGuitar I'm not flustered, and Barry constantly engages with his fans. It just seems like most people are totally oblivious as to how CZcams works. If you got something that keeps people commenting and engaging with the videos, keep doing it.

Barry's channel is fun to watch, I've never had any hassle from his subscribers before, perhaps you are bored on lockdown, we all are. Please don't respond again.

Normally those egg cookers work like this: When you turn them on the red light will light up and the cooker starts to heat up. After a while when the water starts boiling the red light will shut down and it stops heating up until the temperature drops down too much. That's when the heating element is turned on again and the red light lights up. (There's a relay in these things, that's why you hear that click when the heater turns on) When the water is evaporated and the eggs are cooked the boiler will beep and you have to turn it of or it'll get damaged. At least that's how every cheap egg boiler worked that I've seen
LuckyLukas98 yup, I have one of those gadgets and when it’s ready it makes such a loud buzzing you can hear it anywhere in the house. Of course, I’m looking at you Barry, the trick is not to switch it off before it’s finished otherwise it won’t beep when done 🤣
I have used a few in my life, they last forever (but mom would not let me take hers when I moved out :P ). I find them really handy, I don't have many gadgets in the kitchen, but I love the ease of the egg cooker. In my experience they all get a dark build up really quickly, water is not just H2O and those impurities will leave some dark spots, but you do not have to worry about them at all!!! Barry really should have waited for the noise, the complains there aren't any instructions, but that instruction was actually present.....
The egg cooker I have actually has a auto-off feature. Once all the water evaporates the whole thing just switches off. It doesn't have a buzzer, so I set my kitchen timer to go off roughly a minute before the cooker should finish (mine came with a rather thorough instruction booklet that lists approximate cooking times based on how much water you add to it) so I can prep a bowl of cold water to put the eggs in. If I do hardboiled eggs and don't promptly put them in cold water they'll wind up with the browned/greyed yolks like the ones in this video. Also the "burnt" stuff is just water impurities. If Barry didn't wash the eggs before putting them in the egg cooker that would explain why it looks extra dark/gross since residue on the eggs would have just burned off a little bit. Good ol' soap and water will clean that up fairly well though.
@@caitlinnothhard994 Scaring the eggs (that is what we call it, for some reason)with cold water immediately after cooking, also makes makes them wayyyyy easier to peel, especially when they are fresh. I also always dunk them in cold water :)
I'm from Germany and I always assumed that there's an egg boiler in nearly every household. Then I moved to Canada and found out that outside of Germany nobody had a clue what I was talking about :-D It's fascinating to see what gadgets are common or not common at all depending on the country :)
I think they're very common in counties that serve eggs with noodles like Japan. In the USA they are popular with people who are on high protein diets and eat a lot of eggs.
@@LifeOfNigh I would say it depends. Because with a decent egg cooker (not like the one in the video ^^) you can easily set it to soft, medium or hard boiled and don't need to watch it because it switches off automatically. So you can put your eggs in, set it to whatever yolk-hardness you like and go take a shower, get dressed or whatever else you want to do before breakfast :)
I’m from Germany but I’ve never had one if these nor do I know anyone who does. I always thought they were just for lazy people hehe Aber scheint schon ganz praktisch zu sein wenn man ein weiches Ei haben, aber nicht viereinhalb Minuten in der Küche schuften will um am Ende vielleicht statt einem weichen, ein nur ein zufällig weiches Ei zu bekommen.
I think the metal bowl thing is to put the water in then you put that under the eggs, much like when cooking you put your water in a pan before putting in on the stove (imagining it wouldn’t go everywhere)
I have some of those reusable ice cubes and I really like mine (the ones I have are square like real ice cubes lol). They're great for drinks that you want to chill but don't want to water down.
Barry: Unfortunately again this is User Error. The burnt bit is because you let it boil dry when it told you not to. The metal dish is for making Omelettes or Poached egg in it instead of using the egg holder. Also you turned it off and let it sit so the yokes ended up grey with oxidation of the sulphur compounds in the yoke. The whole dropping in ice water stops this by stopping the cooking but you did this well after you stopped applying heat. These machines are great and mine does up to 12 in one go but is a bit more expensive so has a self shut off as well as a timer just to avoid the boiling dry.
I remember growing up that my parents ALWAYS cooked their breakfast eggs in an egg boiler. I can understand that it's way easier to just plop the eggs in and forget about them and wait for the demonic/hellish beeping to alert you, that your eggs are perfectly boiled :)
I reviewed an Egg Cooker from Lidl last week. I love it, it has been used lots since. It can do up to 7 eggs and was only 8 quid. Much better than boiling a full pan of water then waiting for the eggs to cook, time and energy saved, oh and also less bother to clean. TRIPLE WIN.
@@elisehannah2748 For me and you not hard at all, but this is easier to clean for everyone, and saves so much time and money filling a full pan of water when the cooker uses barely enough water to cover one egg and can cook 7. Barry bought a bit of a dud as mine has a good beep to say when they are cooked, and was only 8 quid.
I'm almost 30 years-old and we have had an egg boiler my ENTIRE life. When I moved to England to go to university and I asked my flat mates where the egg boiler was they were so confused. I had to learn to boil eggs in a sauce pan at the age of 20 years-old. They all laughed.
I think he may have had a cut or something as a couple of times he shook his hand. Lemons/Limes can really burn in open sores. Not really sure just a thought.
We've got egg boiler for decades in Germany already. How can it be that you've never heard of it before? It must have made its way to GB at some point XD And we use the lid of the tuna can to press out any brine of the tuna.
Personally, i almost avoided breathing for that bit since i hate canned tuna. Can't stand it, smells awful, and if it's the oily variant, tastes even worse...
I have some ice like those cactus ones, except mine are in the shape of fruit and stars. They are great when you don't want your drink watered down but still cold. The little pan could be where you put the water so you can easily pour any extra out. The sound the eggs made when you blew them out was fantastic! Deviled eggs are a staple in the Southern US.
You can get rid of that residue from cooking the eggs by using vinegar just enough to cover the base and it will shine up like new after about 10 minutes. I have one that is attached to my toaster and it does the same thing each time. The extra silver plate is for scrambled or omelet making. I use mine for heating a muffin and a bit ham.
These videos make me laugh and I always learn something. Do appreciate the fact you mention some of these could help with disabilities too on a more serious note.
Those devilled eggs look delicious! I think the problem with the egg boiler was that there wasn't enough water in there and it boiled dry. I think the tray you didn't use, is definitely needed to prevent that and then whatever water you do use, is less spread out so less likely to evaporate. Sounds logical to me.
About the egg boiler. The metal tray is where you would add the water in, right under the actual egg tray, and there should be an egg prickling tool. These work like a charm, but you're supposed to prickle a tiny hole on the egg's bottom, before adding them to the tray. It's basically steaming them, rather than boiling, and I've been using mine for a good decade now.
Oh Barry, if only there existed some kind of device that showed you how hot or cold something is so you could visually show us the difference the ice makes. Always love these videos.
Oster makes a wonderful steamer that has egg depressions in the base of the basket. It makes perfect eggs (cooked any way you like in the shell) and it's a general purpose steamer too.
The “ashtray” with the egg boiler is to make your poached egg or omelette. I love my egg boiler, as mine does switch off and also makes perfect soft boiled dippy eggs. 😁
I have an egg cooker like that! Mine came with fantastic instructions. It even came with a couple of different trays to make poached eggs or omelettes in. The instructions made it a point to tell you different cooking times, recipes, and all that. So at least there are some versions that have a good set of instructions! That can really make or break a product.
Oh and the burning is from the minerals in the water. It only turned brown because you left it on for too long. You can use vinegar to clean it off from what I remember. But a mineral buildup is normal! It shows up white if you use appropriate cook times. Not that those instructions were of any help in that department.
I‘m in Germany, I know these Eggcookers probably since I‘m 3yrs old. I‘m turning 21. Mom and Grandpa had those before I was born even. They were so useful
Not sure why people want lemons or oranges squeezed until they are completely flat like that, the oils from the skin are extremely bitter (not sour) and make the juice taste bad.
I'm very impressed with how much Barry and his channel has grown over the years. I admit I used to not like watching him because he had the palate of a 5 year old. But now he's a very versatile chef with more adult tastes (: Awesome work man. I'm glad you stuck to what you like to do.
My Great Grandma had a potato masher like that without the scraper thing . Her mom gave it to her . Yes , Great Grandma was born in 1892 ! That means her mom had it way before that ! LOL Old designs still can work better than new . LOL
When making deviled eggs I always use a cake decorating tool. It’s basically the same thing although that does look slightly easier the gadget you’ve used. You have also brightened up my day. It’s been gloomy and cold here so it’s been nice staying indoors and watching the newest video before I crack on with the rest of my day.
I've got a whole shopping list for Dunelm and Lakeland thanks to you. (My husband has dyspraxia and a lot of these gadgets really help, and I have arthritis. Thank yooouuu) (now take me shopping 😘😘 )
Mom had a proper egg boiler that buzzed, had the spike to poke the eggs into to prevent cracking etc. This was in the nineties. We bought a bag of plastic ice "cubes" from the eurostore this summer.
Dearest Barry, The egg cooker is a great little gadget. I use it at least once a week. The tray is for omlets or scrambled eggs. ❤ Love your vids by the way.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Those reusable ice cubes were a lifesaver when my daughter was little and had to have all liquids thickened to a nectar-thick consistency due to a swallowing disorder. All the benefits of ice without diluting the texture of the drink!
I think the reason those Joseph Joseph crushers follow the same design is because they're using the mechanical advantage of a screw. One of the simplest machines, good for multiplying force.
I have a smaller version of the potato masher. I use it to stir gravy or anything that needs to be combined with something else (like a pot of water and a package of dry mix). It does a perfect job at making sure that everything is combined and there are no lumps. Love your videos!
Barry please never stop what you do. You work really hard and i love every minute of your vids. Youre a cracking guy with a lovely family. P.s. hey up from manchester!
The cactus are reusable ice cubes. They make them in all kinds of shapes. The longer you freeze them the better they work. The tray for the egg cooker may have been the water tray. If it was deeper. You may have put the water where the heating element is so the water got more direct heat. The pizza reheater, you were using upside down, i think. There is a water area on the other side crust end. I have 1 but haven't really used it yet. Lol.
morning Barry for the three ingredient playlist i suggest carrot and coriander soup just boil the carrots and blend with coconut milk and add the fresh coriander done
Well Mr. Lewis I found your channel by happenstance, and I have now watched all 48 kitchen gadget videos, you are highly entertaining and I have saved 4 gadgets from your testing. Cheers keep up the great work!!
I love my egg boiler had it for years, bought it in Germany, all the eggs cook evenly. The dish if for making omelettes in the boiler. If you put the boiled eggs into cold water as soon as their cooked the sulphur deposit will not develop around the yolk

I think he may have had a cut or something as a couple of times he shook his hand. Lemons/Limes can really burn in open sores. Not really sure just a thought.
That masher does look like an excellent potato masher. Much better than the old Stielhandgranate that we've been using.
We've got egg boiler for decades in Germany already. How can it be that you've never heard of it before? It must have made its way to GB at some point XD
And we use the lid of the tuna can to press out any brine of the tuna.
in belgium we also had it for ages
Kazu same i. Sweden
And in the U.S.
At times it seems that Barry thinks something that has been a thing for ages is a new thing because he somehow found out about it just recently...
Yes we've had it here in the uk for a long, long time, but that doesn't mean that everybody has heard of it!
The tray is for the water. It's like a bain Marie. Love your videos with Mrs B. She's great fun.
Is it just me or when he said “smell that” I actually tried to smell it🤣
Personally, i almost avoided breathing for that bit since i hate canned tuna. Can't stand it, smells awful, and if it's the oily variant, tastes even worse...
Good point
It burned because you left it on after it had finished and the tray is for poached eggs
That's just mineral deposits from the water that cooked on. They come off with a little vinegar.
Not gonna lie, I am absolutely calling my steamer an egg kettle from now on.
I have some ice like those cactus ones, except mine are in the shape of fruit and stars. They are great when you don't want your drink watered down but still cold. The little pan could be where you put the water so you can easily pour any extra out. The sound the eggs made when you blew them out was fantastic! Deviled eggs are a staple in the Southern US.
Typical, that Monty Python segway.. from tuna and lemon/lime it should have gone to the fish-slapping dance.. Now that would have been perfect.. :D
You can get rid of that residue from cooking the eggs by using vinegar just enough to cover the base and it will shine up like new after about 10 minutes. I have one that is attached to my toaster and it does the same thing each time. The extra silver plate is for scrambled or omelet making. I use mine for heating a muffin and a bit ham.
i think that's the first time I've heard Nipple and Lemon in the same sentence XD
I have been watching a few channels testing kitchen gadgets till I found you Barry. Now I’m hooked on you only. You make me laugh so much. ❤❤❤❤❤
Barry: You smell that, you smell that?
My daughter: It smells like spaghetti!
Barry: That is tuna juice.
Kids, ya know?
These videos make me laugh and I always learn something. Do appreciate the fact you mention some of these could help with disabilities too on a more serious note.
Those devilled eggs look delicious! I think the problem with the egg boiler was that there wasn't enough water in there and it boiled dry. I think the tray you didn't use, is definitely needed to prevent that and then whatever water you do use, is less spread out so less likely to evaporate. Sounds logical to me.
You are not wrong about paprika Barry Lewis.. I too LOOVE parika. Smoked Paprika is insanly good. :)
I'm contemplating a Barathon while doing some chores.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
About the egg boiler. The metal tray is where you would add the water in, right under the actual egg tray, and there should be an egg prickling tool. These work like a charm, but you're supposed to prickle a tiny hole on the egg's bottom, before adding them to the tray. It's basically steaming them, rather than boiling, and I've been using mine for a good decade now.
actor of the year award goes to barry for eating severely overcooked egg yolks in an over-paprika'd deviled egg.
The tray with the egg cooker is for making scrambled eggs or omelets 🙂
Awe he's gotta test that
Oh Barry, if only there existed some kind of device that showed you how hot or cold something is so you could visually show us the difference the ice makes.
Always love these videos.
Might get that deviled egg maker! I love deviled eggs!*
*I only like them the way I make them with yellow mustard and sour cream instead of mayo.
can you try the hack where you add a potato to soup that you've over salted and it takes out the salt?
I have an egg cooker like the one you showed it just shuts the light off when it's done
Oster makes a wonderful steamer that has egg depressions in the base of the basket. It makes perfect eggs (cooked any way you like in the shell) and it's a general purpose steamer too.
I am from Germany and everyone here has such a eg-boiler-thing!
Yes here in the Netherlands too!
In Norway too
I have a 10 year old egg thing from Germany, wakes the whole house up once it’s done
The “ashtray” with the egg boiler is to make your poached egg or omelette. I love my egg boiler, as mine does switch off and also makes perfect soft boiled dippy eggs. 😁
I have an egg cooker like that! Mine came with fantastic instructions. It even came with a couple of different trays to make poached eggs or omelettes in. The instructions made it a point to tell you different cooking times, recipes, and all that. So at least there are some versions that have a good set of instructions! That can really make or break a product.
Oh and the burning is from the minerals in the water. It only turned brown because you left it on for too long. You can use vinegar to clean it off from what I remember. But a mineral buildup is normal! It shows up white if you use appropriate cook times. Not that those instructions were of any help in that department.
I‘m in Germany, I know these Eggcookers probably since I‘m 3yrs old. I‘m turning 21. Mom and Grandpa had those before I was born even. They were so useful
Not sure why people want lemons or oranges squeezed until they are completely flat like that, the oils from the skin are extremely bitter (not sour) and make the juice taste bad.
How are we nearly at gadget testing 50! Been here from the start of the series 😂
Same 😂
I'm very impressed with how much Barry and his channel has grown over the years. I admit I used to not like watching him because he had the palate of a 5 year old. But now he's a very versatile chef with more adult tastes (:
Awesome work man. I'm glad you stuck to what you like to do.
I actually kind of love reusable ice cubes. My freezer doesn't have room for ice trays!
Video idea 💡
Cooking things in a kettle!
Eggs, salmon, veg etc....
My Great Grandma had a potato masher like that without the scraper thing . Her mom gave it to her . Yes , Great Grandma was born in 1892 ! That means her mom had it way before that ! LOL Old designs still can work better than new . LOL
When making deviled eggs I always use a cake decorating tool. It’s basically the same thing although that does look slightly easier the gadget you’ve used. You have also brightened up my day. It’s been gloomy and cold here so it’s been nice staying indoors and watching the newest video before I crack on with the rest of my day.
I've got a whole shopping list for Dunelm and Lakeland thanks to you. (My husband has dyspraxia and a lot of these gadgets really help, and I have arthritis. Thank yooouuu) (now take me shopping 😘😘 )
Mom had a proper egg boiler that buzzed, had the spike to poke the eggs into to prevent cracking etc. This was in the nineties. We bought a bag of plastic ice "cubes" from the eurostore this summer.
Omfg this takes me BACK i used to watch these vids all the time in middle school😭💞💞💞
Dearest Barry,
The egg cooker is a great little gadget. I use it at least once a week. The tray is for omlets or scrambled eggs. ❤
Love your vids by the way.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That potato-thing is brilliant, traps the potato nicely. might consider buying one of those.
I love it! It's like a coffin.......
Those reusable ice cubes were a lifesaver when my daughter was little and had to have all liquids thickened to a nectar-thick consistency due to a swallowing disorder. All the benefits of ice without diluting the texture of the drink!
That egg-cooking thing has almost exactly the same design as a mini incubator for hatching eggs. I really hope no one gets them mixed up. DX

15:11-15:15 is the funniest 4 seconds i’ve seen since vine
Are you still giving the deviled egg maker, the last thing you used?? I would LOVE THAT!! Deviled eggs are the best food ever.
Yeah Barry... that dish was for the water for the egg gadget. You wouldn’t have burnt the element then 😂😂
Gah! It didn't fit though :-/
That's what I was thinking😂
@@mrbarrylewis I have a similar thing, I'm pretty sure it was for poaching eggs or something.
It would have been nice if the direction would tell you what its for.
Apparently the bowl isn't for the water, it's for using the boiler to poach eggs instead.
Barry: I don't like eggs.
Also Barry: Gets a lot of egg gadgets.
You called the first gadget an egg kettle. That makes me wonder if it's possible to boil eggs in a kettle
I have an egg cooker like you but it can cook 12 or more eggs at a time and it has auto shut off! Makes perfect hard boiled eggs every time!
Barry: smell that
Me: why can’t i smell it... oh
My pups love tuna and the juice. Next time you can have it be a nice treat for the pugs!
16:04 Its the Swedish Enlarger from Austin Powers 😂🤔
I think the reason those Joseph Joseph crushers follow the same design is because they're using the mechanical advantage of a screw. One of the simplest machines, good for multiplying force.
I have a smaller version of the potato masher. I use it to stir gravy or anything that needs to be combined with something else (like a pot of water and a package of dry mix). It does a perfect job at making sure that everything is combined and there are no lumps. Love your videos!
A giant advent calendar would be amazing!!
I've got the Joseph Joseph garlic press and it works ok. Not the best, not the worst, but sturdy.
Barry please never stop what you do. You work really hard and i love every minute of your vids. Youre a cracking guy with a lovely family. P.s. hey up from manchester!
The cactus are reusable ice cubes. They make them in all kinds of shapes. The longer you freeze them the better they work. The tray for the egg cooker may have been the water tray. If it was deeper. You may have put the water where the heating element is so the water got more direct heat. The pizza reheater, you were using upside down, i think. There is a water area on the other side crust end. I have 1 but haven't really used it yet. Lol.
“This is just plastic going OI!” 😂
Oh, tuna water, I wanna drink that! says my cat every time.. :)
morning Barry for the three ingredient playlist i suggest carrot and coriander soup just boil the carrots and blend with coconut milk and add the fresh coriander done
Well Mr. Lewis I found your channel by happenstance, and I have now watched all 48 kitchen gadget videos, you are highly entertaining and I have saved 4 gadgets from your testing. Cheers keep up the great work!!
I love my egg boiler had it for years, bought it in Germany, all the eggs cook evenly. The dish if for making omelettes in the boiler. If you put the boiled eggs into cold water as soon as their cooked the sulphur deposit will not develop around the yolk
I love that your outlets turn off at the wall. Thats so smart and helpful
You worry me when you say "I forgot I was recording then" lol thank god for editing suites !!!
We actually used that egg boiler at my old job :) We didn't have a stove, but we boiled eggs that way for breakfasts! Worked like a charm.
another great video where he entertains us and doesn't edit out his foolishness. Thanks Barry!
We need MORE of these. I've waited so long!
I’d say the ashtray is probably a poaching tray or streamed scrambled eggs. I needed a good laugh, and as usual, you delivered!
Watching 48 of these was much more entertaining than the Super Bowl. I’m a bad American. I’ll see myself out
oddly enough i finsihed the playlist yesterday, took 3 days worth of watching after wprk hahah
