for the melon gadget, you have to cut the bottom and the top parts of the melon and reveal red flesh for this gadget to work perfectly ! :D ... you'll find it waaaaaay easier :D
@@Tazzie1312 Yes, it is: if he creates any kind of seal around the edges, and the full force of that volume of air pushes into his ear, it would burst his eardrum. Does no one understand basic science?
With the slap chop you should have put the round insert with the blade shaped slot in it, it’s the piece in the center when he unboxed it, over the blade inside the handle. It keeps stuff from getting stuck by cleaning off he blade as it comes back up.
AmberGriffin MH Yeah, but never count on common sense. He has to do the videos relatively quickly, so I guess he just goes completely by instinct with the most dangerous items, and only reads instructions if he's genuinely confused and can't figure it out...
AmberGriffin MH these type of choppers have been out from the 60s and always been useless. They tend to end up in charity shops. Dangerous for the disabled, and take twice as long to clean and use than a decent knife or even a mini electric chopper. Like many other gadgets they take up much needed space too. Was fun watching Barry prove this point though 😁
Barry, please buy a bunch of those DYi tube straws and make a video where you drink something from a glass in the kitchen all the way upstairs somewhere in the house lol! That would be pretty entertaining
Berry, the slap chop needed the blade cleaner installed on it. It works wonderfully with that installed. It keeps the food particles from sticking to the blade. I seen it on your counter when you unboxed it. ;-) The wife and I simply LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
A classic Dad joke for you, Barry. What did the grape say when it was trodden on? Nothing. But it did let out a little whine. (Cue silence, Tumbleweed passing by, etc.)
Seems like you're missing the guard on the "slap chop" thing. Usually there's a small piece of metal, that matches the blades, which it punches through, as to avoid gunking up the blades.
You need to put the cheese inside the while tube with the grater, then use the top bit to push it down and grate it. I'm not the best at explaining that 🤣
Hi Barry. It is important to cut the top and the bottom of the watermelon before using the cutter. The cut bottom gives you a stable watermelon on the working surface while the cut top will give you a more soft area for the blades. Have fun :)
Barbara Danley Because you still have to cut each piece at at time (or two at a time, depending on how you cut), and the pieces might not be perfectly even (kids can get REALLY upset about that kind of thing). And it's also still way faster than a knife, when it just slides straight through once.
For the chopper, there are better quality ones. There are ones from pampered chef that the blade retracts into the gadget. It works much better. I have one and it does wonders for herbs and onions.
barry forgot to put a piece that goes between the chopping blades after he washed it so the food does not clog it up, you can see that white piece when he unboxes it,
Yeah, that melon segmenter, or cutter, or whatever we want to call it, actually does work XD I use it all the time at home. If you dont get a melon that has a 5inch thick rind it works like a charm with little effort... if you decide to try and slice through a melon that's mostly rind well, you're screwed.
I laughed into tears with the melon slicer, your wife and the hammer... my daughter came to ask if me if I was OK...and then the egg gadget stravaganza was on the screen... 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I got the Mighty Mug Tumbler w/ Straw for my grandma a while back, since she tends to accidentally knock her drink over, and it is absolutely amazing!! She has never once had a problem with knocking it over or picking it up. It is definitely worth the money.
despite the obnoxious ads for it, the nicer dicer actually works pretty amazing! i dont know if you've heard of it before but it's basically a contraption kinda like the chopping thing here but instead has a container to catch all the diced vegetables and it has different sized blades which you can attach to it. pretty neat thing actually
ive had one of those melon slicer thingies. and thinking it was exactly like and apple slicer, i pressed it down with everything i had onto the watermelon, naturally i shattered the melon slicer and the blades snapped out of it and cut my chin, if the cut had been alittle lower it would have cut my throat. i cannot reccomend a melon slicer, unless you want an element of danger when cutting a watermelon.
Literally the worst type of hammer to use on a slicer. Try a mallet. Also, I reckon the pineapple should be peeled first. It is peeled in the picture on the packaging. That is funny to me because one question I can't get my head around from your early gadget testing videos is "why would you peel an apple?" The slap-chop is considered an unusual gadget in the UK? Interesting, in Germany you will find these easily. They were pretty popular in the 70's and 80's for chopping onions. They came with a part that kept pieces from sticking to the blade, though.
@@patrickkeller2193 Proper knife work takes a while to learn, but saves you loads. Most cutting work in a kitchen can be done with an 8 inch chefs knife.
The cup works with a suction cup on the bottom and it's own weight is pushing it down, but if you pick it up, you relieve the pressure of the weight on the suction cup.
The no-tip mug is brilliant. How it works is pretty simple. Notice that if you pull straight up on it, the body separates slightly from the bottom. There's a suction cup at the absolute bottom that's probably silicone, so very flexible, much sticky. At the top of the suction cup is a valve. When you lift up on the top, the valve opens and lets air in, preventing the suction cup from acting as one. If you push from the side, the top is still sealed, so you are generating a vacuum, which keeps it from falling over. A great gadget. Would have to have very tight tolerances to work properly. Which it appears to. Whenever you two knocked it over, it was because it was smacked in a way that the top half was lifted up, thus letting air to pass into the vacuum cup. Still, I don't see it being much practical in a huge size like that. Dashboard size, yes. Or if you're a massive clutz who always spills the drink on their desktop.
I used to have a slapchop, and it worked great for onions with the white blade protector on it, because it stopped the onion slipping through the gaps ✨
The mug has some sort of suction cup in the bottom, which is in two pieces. When you lift it, the top half of the cup pulls away slightly and breaks the vacuum letting it lift. It's actually pretty cool.
I had a version of that slap-shop thing in back the 80's. It eventually succumbed to the plastic getting brittle, but, before it did, it worked quite well for chopping onions, celery, carrots and the like. Good to know the modern ones aren't worth getting, though yours might be defective: the blades are supposed to do a quarter turn automatically each chop
Barry, the reason the cheese grater didn't work was you had 2 grating plates in at the same time. When you laughed at the disc falling out, it's meant to come out lol, the discs are interchangeable. One will be coarse for cheese and the other will be fine for nuts and chocolate. Use one or the other but not both 😂❤
i grew up using a similar device to the slap chop when my mom would make masked potates. we would use it to dice onion super fine. idk why its some as seen on tv thing. its an old thign we had for years.
With the slap chop, there is a part that goes on the blade to keep the food from going into it. You can see it on the counter when you have everything laid out. It should go on before the round clear part
Because of the time difference...there's nothing better than just waking up to Kitchen Gadget Testing! My Sunday ritual. Tea, toast and Barry...thanks for always entertaining me on Sundays. Keep up the great work, Cooking Comedy, best combination!
That plastic piece you leeft out needs to be in the slap chop it acts like a stopper for the food. And your cheese needs to be in the white part not the green
We have something similar to the Slap Chop from The Pampered Chef parties and it’s awesome. A lot better than the gadget you had, in fact it’s great for chopping up veggies to hide in the kids food!!! Another cracking gadget test, thanks Barry & Mrs Barry! Xxxxxx

My Virgin Kitchen holy cow I'm early as hell this week! Love the vids
My Virgin Kitchen I know why you've never been a fan of red grapes, Barry! They're inferior, only good for drinking. ;-P
I get it is get it
Barrathon how u no laughing x
😂😂😂😂😂😂

Serious warning Barry. Pushing the eggstractor against your ear like that could have burst your ear drum.
Don't worry, that thing's not that strong.
@@Tazzie1312 Yes, it is: if he creates any kind of seal around the edges, and the full force of that volume of air pushes into his ear, it would burst his eardrum. Does no one understand basic science?
@@erikhughes8412 Do you not understand that this egg thing seriously sucks?
@@erikhughes8412 Yes
With the slap chop you should have put the round insert with the blade shaped slot in it, it’s the piece in the center when he unboxed it, over the blade inside the handle. It keeps stuff from getting stuck by cleaning off he blade as it comes back up.
AmberGriffin MH He never looks at instructions and pictures, sadly...
Michael Berthelsen I don’t even own one of them it just seems like common sense given that it looks exactly like the blade.
AmberGriffin MH Yeah, but never count on common sense. He has to do the videos relatively quickly, so I guess he just goes completely by instinct with the most dangerous items, and only reads instructions if he's genuinely confused and can't figure it out...
"If you slapped your hooker, you slapped your chop"

Dangerous for the disabled, and take twice as long to clean and use than a decent knife or even a mini electric chopper. Like many other gadgets they take up much needed space too. Was fun watching Barry prove this point though 😁
Barry ... With the melon your supposed to slice the top off the melon first 😆👍🏻👍🏻xx
To be fair, though, he did that with the pineapple and it didn't seem to help much.
d2factotum I think that's because it has a thick skin. If he had taken the skin off the pineapple it would have worked much better.
I was screaming that the entire bloody time xD
@D Yeah that's what I saw on the box, too. If they show a picture of a whole melon being sliced, it needs to be able to slice through the whole melon.
Kind of defeats the point of a labour-saving gadget if you have to spend half an hour carefully skinning your fruit before using it...
Barry your face trying to work out that mug is what I imagine the first man discovering fire was like!
For the slap chop, there is meant to be a plastic thing which the blades go in-between, it makes it so onion etc doesn't get stuck
Also the grater was supposed to have the cheese inside the two chambers and only one blade used, whoops.
You can see that plastic part @ 12:27 he then removed it when he washed it but never put it back
Barry, please buy a bunch of those DYi tube straws and make a video where you drink something from a glass in the kitchen all the way upstairs somewhere in the house lol! That would be pretty entertaining
Metalpug79 love that idea
I definitely seconded this 👍🏻
that would be awesome
I'll be surprised if the liquid even leaves the cup when you do that. But do it anyways.
He could ms Barry to put the straw in different liquids and then he has to guess what the liquid is!
My uncle was in jail with the guy from the infomercial for the slap chop 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Liz Pascoe I’m not sure if that’s something to be proud of
Slicing grapes is ideal for making them safe for smaller children. Otherwise they could choke on them.
Commented too early! Mrs. Lewis already knew this...
As was repeatedly mentioned...
@@smol-one Yeah. I don't really remember watching this or commenting, but thanks for the snark I guess.
LOL when I saw the eggstractor I know you would be eggstremely unhappy coz it doesnt work LOL
"The Grapenator"
Well at least he didn't call it "The Grapist".
WKYK?
"It looks amost like a-"
Me: " a dic-"
Barry: icecream scoop
Me: oh, yeah, that too
Alina Blackblood I thought that too 😂

I think that deserves a ba dum tsss instead 😂
I read the joke.. and I died

Barry, you plonk! Look at the PICTURE! It's for HALF MELONS!!!😂😂😂
And you remove the skin from the pineapple first! LOOK AT THE PICTURES!
Michael Berthelsen, then why bother? Once you half the melon or take the skin off the pineapple, it takes seconds to cut it into big pieces.
Barbara Danley Because you still have to cut each piece at at time (or two at a time, depending on how you cut), and the pieces might not be perfectly even (kids can get REALLY upset about that kind of thing). And it's also still way faster than a knife, when it just slides straight through once.
and chop top and bottom of it

For the watermelon slicer, you need to cut the top and bottom off first
Kitchen gadgets Mike Jeavons special edition!
Love when Mrs. Barry makes an appearance. So many other CZcamsrs could not get that egg thing to work.
Maybe if you had cut the top of the water melon it might have worked easier
I just couldn't watch you hit the watermelon cutter with the hammer, visions of shattering blade's in my head 😜
He needed to have sliced a bit off at the end to stabilize it.
Loveing everything on the channel Barry! The vlogs, testing and lovely creations. Keep it up also happy birthday to phoebe
Brandon Burns thanks a bunch
Loved seeing Barry messing around with the mug😊
Loved seeing barry messing around whith the mug

Didnt you already review the eggstractor? 🤔 well it seems I have no other chance but to rewatch all the gadget videos to be certain 💁 oh well
toast99bubbles ive seen it like half a year ago 🤔 Maybe it was just someone random
Maybe it was Rhett and Link? I remember seeing this before too, it was unsuccessful.
Mike Jeavons reviewed the egg-stractor
maree caswell YES it was Rhett and Link 😂😂 woops
Grav3yardgirl did the eggstractor a few years ago as well.
I got the Mighty Mug Tumbler w/ Straw for my grandma a while back, since she tends to accidentally knock her drink over, and it is absolutely amazing!! She has never once had a problem with knocking it over or picking it up. It is definitely worth the money.
You think you’d be able to quater cherry tomatoes with that grape thingy?
Shyan Walker I was thinking olives, but I don’t know what the pit would do.
Attia Sprouse great idea. Maybe pre-pitted olives?
Shyan Walker Oh yeah!! Those exist. Forgot about those.
That's a very good idea...
I wonder how it handles other small fruits like blueberries or small strawberries
despite the obnoxious ads for it, the nicer dicer actually works pretty amazing! i dont know if you've heard of it before but it's basically a contraption kinda like the chopping thing here but instead has a container to catch all the diced vegetables and it has different sized blades which you can attach to it. pretty neat thing actually

Did you cut the melon in half?
Really digging the egg-stractor with the built in dad joke😂😂
After spending all night in hospital with the little brother , I needed this . ❤️ Happy Sunday guys
Zoe Field sorry to hear that
My Virgin Kitchen that’s okay your video gave us all a good giggle 😂❤️
I use the watermelon slicer to cut cakes. It's fantastic for softer sponge cakes and amazing with cheesecakes! Love that gadget.
Seems like you had about as much luck as Emmy had with her Eggstractor video, talk about making a simple task more difficult... :P
"Making a simple task more difficult."
What a perfect description, and it fits nearly every kitchen gadget ever made.
I saw someone else reviewing the eggstractor in the past week, I didn't work at all well
Cool, someone else who watches both!
@rachelcann165 You probably watched Mike Jeavons?
I was saying the EXACT same thing lmao!!!! Love Emmy!!!
Oh lord I rewound that egg pop sound bit three times. Laughed way too hard. 😂
The grape one would make more sense with olives for pizza or subs
Mighty mug is amazing. I got one for my birthday and it's great. Avoided so many spills.

I relate so much with when you were punching and poking the coffee mug, I literally do that all the time and I've no idea why 😂😂
Oh yes! No sunday is good without you Barry! You are the best on CZcams! Give your girls a hug and enjoy your day! Lots of love and hugs from Norway.
Pampered chef has their version of the slap chop and THAT one is amazing
Barry if you look at the box on the melon gadget you will see that they CUT THE MELON IN HALF!!! 😂😂🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍
Probably great if you buy half a melon from the store, but if you already have the knife out to cut it in half...
That gadget is a little silly.
dunno, it does cut nice even slices, which is harder to do with a knife

I wonder if you could cut a cake with the watermelon slicer 🤨
But what do you do with a core of cake
Very funny with the cup and eggstractor!
eugh i seem to have a problem with youtube. i can only give this video one like!
+B & A Talks make another account and like the video
I used to have a slapchop, and it worked great for onions with the white blade protector on it, because it stopped the onion slipping through the gaps ✨
I love these videos, these are my favorite videos on your channel. :3
Will thanks
Eggstractor bit had me LMAOOOOO 😂
Can u use the watermelon slicer for cake? :p
Oktober Probably.
there is the circle corer in the center, but I would assume so
the melon doesn't have a center either
Your expression when testing the mug, priceless. Happy birthday Phoebe! Also, really enjoy it when Mrs. Barry pops in to help!
Hi its vince with slap chop
I kinda miss that guy.
Stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life
The prospect of the slap-chop to have to be cleaned after use gives me shivers.
Its 1 am her in California!! I MUST WATCH!! FOR THE BARY FAM!
That mug is CRAZY!!!
The eggstractor is dirty and second hand because Mike Jeavons used it first. ;P
The mug has some sort of suction cup in the bottom, which is in two pieces. When you lift it, the top half of the cup pulls away slightly and breaks the vacuum letting it lift. It's actually pretty cool.
Your Mrs cracks me up, she sounds like me when i'm talking to my Mr, better half. "Never letting YOU cut grapes with a knife again.
Ive had a mighty mug for a couple of years now and it works great for when I’m on the train.
The Dirty Dancing reference was amazing. Still laughing.
Had to pause it for a laugh! The pop of the egg lol. Great video!
The grape gadget looks really fun to use 😀🤗
I giggled way too hard at the noise the egg made 😂
Great stuff...Even Boston looked impressed!
It seems like we haven't gotten a kitchen gadget testing video since forever. This is true happynes.
"Man entertained by a mug that won't fall over" , it was entertaining to watch the expressions you made xD
This guy has the coolest appliances. Seriously, it makes me drool.
That egg-stractor part used to be sold as a plunger for sinks way back in the early 90s, I’d recognize it anywhere! Used to have a blue one.
I had a version of that slap-shop thing in back the 80's. It eventually succumbed to the plastic getting brittle, but, before it did, it worked quite well for chopping onions, celery, carrots and the like.
Good to know the modern ones aren't worth getting, though yours might be defective: the blades are supposed to do a quarter turn automatically each chop
I loved the Dirty Dancing reference 😜
That cup with a suction cup underneath was GENIUS!❤️❤️❤️
Love my chopper and Mellon cutter!Work great.User error.
Barry, the reason the cheese grater didn't work was you had 2 grating plates in at the same time. When you laughed at the disc falling out, it's meant to come out lol, the discs are interchangeable. One will be coarse for cheese and the other will be fine for nuts and chocolate. Use one or the other but not both 😂❤
i grew up using a similar device to the slap chop when my mom would make masked potates. we would use it to dice onion super fine. idk why its some as seen on tv thing. its an old thign we had for years.
I enjoy spilling drinks it makes my day more eventful
Omg Barry, your face with that cup was AMAZING 😂😂😂
With the slap chop, there is a part that goes on the blade to keep the food from going into it. You can see it on the counter when you have everything laid out. It should go on before the round clear part
Pampered Chef do their own version of the slap chop, and it works a charm!!

So amused by the coffee tumbler. Lol
My 4 year old daughter n I love watching your videos! You make both of us laugh every time which brightens our days!
That coffee mug is a cat owner’s dream.
Barry reminded me of a cast trying to knock over the mighty mug. Lol
I laughed so hard I cried. Thank you Barry!
I've never seen a man so amazed by a straw. It's still a straw. It still works like a straw works. 😂
Explosive laughter when the coconut appeared :-D
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the way mrs Barry pooped her head round the corner when you dropped the melon cutter 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 like a ninja hahahahahaha made my day lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
You should give that straw thing to Eli Silverman, it's modular! He'll love it.
elvis has left the building
Hello from Maine! I loved the bit with the slap chopper thing when you sped up the video! It made me laugh so hard!
I have a feeling you already done the eggstractor??? Still funny though .. “you can see ze braain” killed me 😂😂😂
That plastic piece you leeft out needs to be in the slap chop it acts like a stopper for the food. And your cheese needs to be in the white part not the green
