Barry Lewis can we get a lot more of these videos with Stuart
You have to turn the toastie maker over half way through to get an even colour on both sides. Mine is 3 mins on each side I think
You also did "Will it crepe" and I loved it!
Was the toastie gadget in a kitchen gadgets video?
Never mind found it Kitchen Gadget Testing #22
I love how instantly serious Ashens is when poundland is mentioned. ^-^
He's the only one with the qualifications to answer such an important question.
@@murpaderp8461 it's like when you get to use something you learned at college ten years after you've graduated
Poundland are going to be sooo confused when people start bulk buying sandwiches!! Oh hang on are Poundland's even open right now with the lockdown etc I suspect not.
@@cBearTV- Certainly are, no free time for us I'm afraid.
The Poundland Expert
Watching two grown men put a sandwich inside a sandwich and then microwave it inside some sort of Frankenstein toaster gadget is all I wanted from my Thursday evening, really.
And the crazy part is that it worked. AND it was really nice.
It's a Thursday evening 2 years later and I'm delighted to report I too have enjoyed thoroughly
@@criscojesus4378 here i am 3 years later and I was so confused when they put bread on bread
How 😢
@@PYROHIAN89don't play with fire
"Anything exciting happening will be dangerous."
How British
He used margarine and a microwave. Might as well put a shottie to your noggin.
Nyeeeesss...very
It's true. We only find dangerous things exciting.
1980: They'll have hoverboards and auto lace up sneakers by 2020 for sure!
2020: The Poundland sandwich in a toastie. Truly the pinnacle of technology.
When I was a student, me and a couple of mates once spent an evening with a toastie maker, trying out different fillings.
Successes included :-
Sherbet Dip (VERY tasty caramelised lemony deliciousness);
Lasagne (really good, very filling);
Banana and Peanut Butter (Not bad, bit cloying on the tongue);
Banoffee Pie (from Asda. The Tesco one wasn't as nice).
Smarties (crunchy chocolate. What's not to love?)
Not so successful :-
Snickers (sickly sweet, okay if you're into type 2 diabetes);
Tomato soup (no. Just, no);
Skittles (molten lava, avoid);
Starburst (see above).
There were others, the usual stuff like beans and cheese, nutella etc.
If I may ask, what are Smarties where you’re from? In the U.S. they’re little sweet and sour tablets.
Arie Heath they are little round colourful chocolate pieces, they are covered in like a thin sugary shell, should try get them they are nice
Maxwell Brown Sounds similar to M&Ms. I’ll look them up and maybe order some online.
@@arieheath7773 in Canada, smarties are round small candy coated chocolates
@@arieheath7773 They're basically smarties but they're bigger, they have a thicker shell and the orange ones actually taste of orange
Mr. Lewis squashed down the Grilled Sandwich Sandwich really well. I guess you could call that...

Poor people in the Victorian era allegedly ate "toast sandwiches", a toasted piece of bread between two uncooked pieces of bread. That's what the Poundland sandwich sandiwch reminded me of!
imagine the sheer amount of dangerous food additives per bite
Its actually pretty damn good. If you follow orinigal recipes, you salt and pepper the toast, slap bread round it, and dig in. Pure carbs, but tastes actually really good for what it is
It actually tastes quite nicely with enough salt and pepper and fresh toast, it's almost like fried chicken, but without the actual chicken flavour. Very recommended for those middle of the night empty fridge munchies.
This is a popular poverty food in America. Piece of buttered salted toast between bread. Like syrup sandwhiches
Considering Stuart pulled a full-size JAMMA arcade board from his old oven (he genuinely forgot about it), finding a hand in his microwave is standard stuff. Video is amazing
18:10 I'm convinced Ashens lives in a circus tent.
Well, he's a Psychologist, iirc, so... well... yeah. Personally I think it's pretty swish myself.
i bet i can dox him with this shot. ive seen the back yard and now know he has a sun room. gimme twenty minutes.
update well i guess there are a lot of sunrooms in Norwich but ill find it eventually.
@@DaxianPreston why
I was going to say the same thing, I'm glad someone else thought that
That explains the mallet
Could you do a will it pasty? Like add random fillings in to pastry and make pies/ pasties.
Yes!
@@mrbarrylewis am massively looking forward 😊 thank you for responding 😊
Fraser Pickle Pie , put a pie in the toastie, then call it a Wigan toastie, after the famous passion for a pie in a sandwich that the residents of Wigan like to eat as bar food.
isnt this what the brits do with their pies anyway
@@La_sagne I mean, I'm yet to see a pie that could be my name stake? Also, not really, we mostly have fruit pies and meat pies, occasionally vegetable pies, but not everything. Am thinking more like chip shop chip pies or mac n cheese pies. Something off the hook and unusual
I like the duality of these two, Barry would invite Ashen for a nice food episode while Ashen would invite Barry for a buffet of intercontinental expired treats.
Someone give Ashens his Poundland PhD yet, he's earned it!
Wow this is a surprise.
Always love to see you two working together.
Cheers it’s a loooooooong drive
@@mrbarrylewis
From the viewers' perspective, at least, it always seems to be well worth it!
Stuart's calm reactions to whatever hijinks you two get up two never fails to illicit a chuckle from me.
I'd love to see what would happen if you tried putting unconventional ingredients into an oddball automated kitchen gadget like the ones you always seem to test (donut maker, pasta macine, etc).
I'm sure Stuart would "love" the results.
And by love, I mean he would likely cut all ties with you and move to some far off country with no internet.
But it would be well worth it to see what would transpire :)
Anyway, as always, love the videos.
Cheers from the USA!
-MC
I drove all night just to get to you lol 😂 awesome video guys
I agree they are great together.
Ooooh old school bashens is back
You know you've got far back when it's "Bashens" and not "Barshens"
@@mog398 yep I see the difference being the crew. It's bashens if it's just Barry and Stuart
Wish that came back, i would love to see more king of plasticine episodes, they were hilarious 😂
@@kribz4576 bashens not barshens
alex liggins ohh, but yh still would like old Barshens back
At the mention of 'Curry In A Toastie', I was struck by the thought that this was the sort of thing that would be featured on the late 80's after-club cooking show, 'Get Stuffed'. Brilliant.
I wanted to see them use naan bread for it...
@@danieledwards3376 Eh, I think that would fall flat. I'll try to be naan-judgmental, though.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaah!
Jeez! I'd not thought about that program in years! Used to watch it in the early 90s
Anyone else fancy a cheese toastie after watching this, but haven't made one in years?
I postponed watching this video until I had ingredients with which to make toasties that I could eat while watching.
God yes. I should probably order one of those gadgets if they're still being sold.
@@GmodPlusWoW they've been unavailable on amazon for a while, but they make a different model that's still on sale iirc
@@archerymidnight3422 Thing is, I've checked the new model, and it has a more ridged design instead of the triangular two-portion design. Which is a little disappointing, but I'll probably just bite the bullet.
Oh yeah, definitely! I used to make them on my George Foreman and they turn out really well :D Better than buying a single purpose device to be honest
Any video with Barry and Stuart in it is great
"Yo, dawg. I heard you like sandwiches. So I put a sandwich in your sandwich so you can eat while you eat."
Old meme. But it applies here.
2006 wants its memes back
Bought one of these after watching your gadget testing video. You're supposed to turn it over half way through cooking though so that could be why your toasting seems a bit uneven. Love it! 😀x
Such a let down, doesn't ship to the US and US amazon doesn't have the microwave one available, just the 2 sandwich countertop style.
Came here to say exactly this!
Oh no! That's such a shame. I hope they start shipping to the US for you. It's a fantastic gadget. They actually do a couple of different products. Still to try them though. x
But there is there not even a similar product available in the US even though the same company has the microwave egg cookers available here
While I do enjoy Ashens' angry sense of humor when he eats something disgusting, I also really like it when he finds a food he likes. It might be because I want the guy who has genuinely entertained me a lot over the years to have nice things happen to him. The world I live in makes it feel like that's a strange concept.
It's heartwarming, isn't it
So with that last one, you essentially tapped into the same idea as a Toast Sandwich. Crunchy Bread+Soft Bread= *Insanely good texture.*
Gotta try this with a macaroni cheese ready meal; I reckon it'd be stonkin'!
Used to make macaroni cheese toasties for breakfast back in the 90s when I was in college, they were always bomb.
Every time Barry says "chocolate cake" he sounds EXACTLY like Michael Rosen.
I wonder if his next video will involve A BAG OF PLUMS...
Hot Food
Stuart finally gets to eat something that's not out of date and/or bought for a quid.
Hahaha I kept watching for the change of duck on top of the microwave 😂
A “ready meal” lasagne would be ok, the mince in there is cooked, it just needs reheating. So just use a chilled lasagne.
I’m amazed that Ashens has never come across one of those.
On a side note, Ashens has a really nice Conservatory.
Dr Stuart Ashen PhD was successful pre-youtube. Top bloke
Imagine doing the curry one but with naan bread instead of normal bread
That sounds amazing!!
My local Indian takeaway does this it's called a king samosa. They fill a giant naan bread with curry. It is immense.
@@melon4966 It is! It's my favourite dish to order from there!
Garlic naan?
My local kebab shop does indian food and you can choose to have a naan instead of pitta. It really is good with chicken tikka
In my home it's always a hot sauce and cheese toastie to start, then a caramel and chocolate toastie for pudding
I appreciated the duck costume changes.
Curry toasties are one of my favourite foods. If I ever have leftover curry, I slap it in a toastie. SO GOOD!
I bought one of those microwave toastie thingies, based on your old Pre production video Barry. It’s great but often I want 2, that’s the only advantage a normal Breville has over it. Couple of slices of Gouda, spoonful of beans, you can’t beat it.
Andy Sutcliffe it quite simple, make one and whilst consuming that one, have the other one in. I do that with Cheese on Toast, it’s always hot then too
Daniel Coates that’s good if you need two for yourself, but less so when you need two because you’re with multiple people.
Two.. four slices of bread.. blimey oinker!
I just love when you two get together
This is the first time a video including Ashens makes me hungry and not the other way around
"Tramline of Crust". Sounds like a prog rock band from Dunstable.
I never knew I needed a microwavable plate contraption for the soul purpose of making toasted sandwiches until I seen one......I needs it
Have you never watched an Ashens video... "Poundshop" my god man!
I love seeing you guys made videos together because it makes me happy to see you guys hanging out and having a good time
1:58 Stuart's face when he's reminded that nice food exists.
4:23 the "Ashens leaves stuff in his cooking appliances" saga continues
turn it over half way through to get an even browning on the bread ;) great ideas there haha
"Tram line of crust" was the name of my progressive rock band in uni.
Love Ashens' supreme knowledge of Poundland!
"That's it! I'm gettin' me mallet!"
Will it soda stream ?
Will it toastie ?
Then: Will it slush puppy ?
Next: Will Ashens and Barry appear on Good Mythical Morning ?
how good would that be
Pretty sure Stuart knows the guy who does Will It Soft Serve too
0:40 Don't bother. Since it's a british word, we pronounce sandwich in France pretty much the same way you do in the UK, with just a slight hint of distinction/snobbishness.
Do you spell the S or D out or did your language remove that as well for no reason just so to have done it like with every other word? :P
Le saunhhhhhvieeeets
@@adityasrinivasulu The soviets ? I didn't think this could become political but here we are.
@@Finsternis.. Funny. I would have said we tend to add letters, not substract, to align with our way to prounounce the word. I'd like a sand-witch, please.
@@rodentoftheastrowaste1414 it's pretty much all in the accents, like over the letters and stuff, e.g, é,è,á,à
13:07 "You've never theen Thor?" "No, never theen it!" 😂 😂
I still watch these videos all the time, the chemistry between you two is awesome to watch
Come on Barry, give us the reason why you got there at one in the morning!
I absolutely love toasties. It’s the future!
Yes I will no doubt blurt it out in a future video
They are both drunk af that's why
@@mrbarrylewis if Mrs Barry hadn't made an honest man of you, and you and Stuart met earlier in life I dread to think what would have happened. The channel would certainly be very, very different.
I was literally looking at that toastie gadget on Amazon only just yesterday! If it can make Poundland sandwiches taste nice then I guess it's gotta be worth the money.
I love these tasting videos you guys do together. It's always a delightful watch. I love how you riff off each other as well.
Don't you just love how Ashens is kind of disappointed when things taste nice.
This needs to be a regular thing like the British good mythical morning
Nah. It just gets tired more quickly. I can't even watch GMM anymore.
Have you watched Sorted Food they have even been on GMM a few times.
Barshens was great but they made it a bit big, then it deflated :(
@@sakumisan what do you mean they made it big?
@@demonsheadshot8086 Large # of staff, etc.
Could have been 2 blokes hanging out at one of their flats or whatever, but it was a larger production filmed at a shared studio space. They then tried to move it to be more of a podcast but that didn't seem to take hold as well =/
Heston already done the 'up-scale' pot noodle when he done his 80's Feast when he done a Pot Heston.
This is genuinely a great endorsement of a great product in the microwave toastie machine. Picked one up and haven’t regretted it at all.
"Why is everything so nice?" - Stuart in situation except his own videos, presumably
I liked how barry asked what i did, "Are these ducks changing"
Yay, more Barshens stuff, love it when you guys do stuff together again. 😁
Scrolling through my feed and see the thumbnail. I'm like do i really want to spend 20mins of my life watching Ashens and and Barry make toasties?... HELL YEAH I AM!
Just got my barry Lewis mug and I'm over the moon❤❤ I love watching your channel. I'm always excited to see what's next
This has just made me get my toastie machine out, I'm gonna make my fav, cheese and caramelised onion sandwich!!!
you guys look like really fun blokes to hang around with!
This is a great video, even years later. I love seeing ashes confused laughter as Barry explains the toast-ception.
I love when you guys collab!! So good!
I wish they sold this on the US Amazon, it looks like a great gadget
I dont see why its not available anywhere in the US, unless our microwaves are more powerful or something.
They sell it on Amazon Canada. I had to type in Mico toastie. Frigging bloody expensive. They want $86.99 + 37.70 for shipping.
@@cindyt9232 sounds like they are importing it from the UK and selling it from there. Passing along the cost to the end buyer
You can order from UK Amazon if there is shipping outside the UK.
@@Clay3613 Sadly, it says it doesn't ship to the US on the amazon UK page. :(
I see "ft Ashens" and I've already liked. These videos are always quality content.
As the instructions that come with the toastie; you have to flip it half way through. Then you get a crispy crunch on both sides and a perfect toastie. The best things come to the ones who're patient! - I purchased this amazing product after you recommended the crowdfunding campaign, Barry.
We've had it for years, and we love it!
thoroughly enjoyed this. Most people probably came up with suggestions by late night raids of empty cupboards. Some combinations can be surprisingly nice!
8:52 - Barry sniffing the electrons again. you can tell he's addicted to gadgets, can't you. It's going to ruin his health.
I was so waiting for him to sing "let it go" every time he said "frozen". LOL
I've had one of these for a couple of years, they are great, i use it a lot.
Lol - Ashens is always so concerned about whether things can go in the dishwasher or not 😂
This video confirms it: Ashens is "The Poundland Professor!"
Love this Barry! I'm going to get me one of those toastie makers! Your butter assistant and his ducks is also adorable LOL Can't wait for will it slushie, love slushies!
I've watched too much Achievement Hunter. When they played that little Mexican ditty at 12:27, I was expecting "Technical Difficulties" to pop up.
I say that everytime but as a French guy, I just love hearing British people trying to speak French and/or making fun of French people/language.
LOVE that toastie!!! I got mine through the indiegogo you promoted years ago. Sadly they don’t really have it in the states. So any time I show it off to friends & family & coworkers they can’t buy it.
I'd removed the cow toastie maker from my memory, but I definitely had one as a kid. Now I'm ready to do anything in my power to find one again
I am watching two middle aged men cooing in wonderment every time they manage to make a sandwich.
8:15 - Children, do _not_ put ricin in your toasties.
I want Stuart's massive conservatory, please. Thankyou.
That was excellent, I just found my sandwich toaster out of the cupboard to do some of these cool recipes. They all looked so tasty 😋 I hope you 2 get together for another vid soon. Stay safe lads ✌
A nacho toastie used to be my go-to! Nachoes, cheddar and salsa. Yum!
I love the historical knowledge of the P store
So sad we can’t get one of these gadgets on this side of the pond😢
Thank you! I haven't laughed that much in a while and it also convinced me to get one of those Mico Toasties!
we bought a couple of these after your reviews and our toastie consumption has gone through the roof. they work a treat. personal favourite, emmenthal, mozzarella, ham/salami, and red pesto.
curry in a toastie is normal for me, been doing it since i was a teen
MELT, IT'S A MELT.
@@redbirddeerjazz Wrong.
@@Clay3613 give it up, ok we live in different place, we all have different names for things, such as bread buns, some call them bap, some say buns and i'm sure other places have other names. to me it's a toastie as you toast it, to you it's a melt, even though you can't melt curry
This looks like a fun gadget, but the news isn't so much fun: "This item does not ship to the United States" (And nobody seems to sell it here).
Wish/AliExpress maybe?
@@Zulf85 Thanks, I appreciated your suggestion. I don't need / want it enough to have to mess with Wish or AliExpress.
Thanks, appreciate your checking. The one Barry is using seems to have a lot going for it, so I was looking for that particular one.
ive got one of those microwave toastie makers , its the best thing ever invented , the old toasties come out soggy but this makes them crispy ,, the main reason its not coming out crispy on the one side is that you have to turn it over halfway through cooking , so rather than 5 minutes and leave it ,, after 2 and a half minutes flip it over and cook for another 2 and a half minutes
“Today we ask the age old question.”
“Eh?”
“Oh, sorry, wrong channel.”
Barry you have to turn it halfway so you get it brown on both sides. Read the manual my man ;) @Berry Lewis
On the initial pre production one he showed, he even read the timings as 3:30 + 3:30 and didn’t flip it.
17:23 ohh, that "line up ze holes" accent.
Always love this pairing 😍 Made my day ❤️❤️😆😆
whenever this video popped into my yt feed and i watch it, i get a massive craving for Toasties and want to try some of these combinations!
Stuart with the Professor hat when talking about Poundland 😂
"This item does not ship to the United States." Well... so much for microwave toasted sandwiches
Because of the time someone tried to make a kinder egg toastie.
I live in Canada and we've had a standalone appliance version of this thing in my house for as long as I can remember. Same mold shape and everything.
I bought the sandwich and potato cookers after Barry reviewed them, great products, best grilled cheese at 3am ever!
Brilliant. I want a toastie. Had something like this when i was a kid. Loved it wish i had another one.
