    If anyone has any other suggestions for the can opening with a piece of paper please let us know! Perhaps we could try card? We are determined to make it work.... also our house smelt of burnt coconut hair for days after this so don't try it unless you really have to and can open many windows! You can check all the other kitchen hack attempts to date on this playlist czcams.com/video/jdKv_PUEL90/video.html please keep the hack ideas you've found coming, some of them are genuinely amazing!

      I'd say press down hard on where the can is meant to pop open with the ring pull, sod the rubbing, it needs the pre-weakened seam breaking with pressure... :P

    • @thegreenfish21
      @thegreenfish21 Před 2 lety +6

      Is the can cold? No idea what I'm talking about but if the paper rubbing is supposed to work by creating a heat difference then maybe the can has to be fully chilled first?

    • @FuckedUpGenius
      @FuckedUpGenius Před 2 lety +1

      Whenever I buy something that's loose in a bag, like gelatin, rice, et cetera, I just use a funnel like how Barry did with the bottle, and pour it into a container. Bags might nick on something and rip, not a great storing solution.
      If you have funnels in your kitchen (imho a must), this "hack" is even easier because it doesn't require cutting a bottle. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Fold the paper until YOU CAN"T FOLD IT ANY MORE, then with a lever-like action from the middle of the can (to prevent cutting yourselves), press a corner end down on the pre-cut round drink hole. Works every time.

    Also the coconut hack... you can pretty easily open a coconut by first puncturing one of the holes with a screwdriver, drain the coconut water, then use a hammer to beat round the shell until it cracks enough for you to pull it apart, and finally use a spoon to get the coconut meat out.

    Thinking of a hack, can't recall if you've already done it cos I learned it off youtube, if you are missing a tin opener, and have a tin with no ring-pull top, rub it on a flat stone surface (E.G. paving slab, brick, recently poured and cured concrete for a studio kitchen, etc.) to grind the top ridge of the rolled seam down, and then with a few gentle squeezes of the sides, the top will pop off, can also be done with sandpaper and metal files... :D

    We just have a large rock outside our home where we break open the coconut. There is also a coconut opener with like a super hard substance in its center where you can hit the coconut and get it open. You get a hand held coconut grater and also a coconut "chipper", which is basically a steel rod with one end flattened to detach the coconut meat from the shell. These things are pretty readily available in India especially in the south where coconut is used in daily cooking.

    you need to fold the paper more so it's more a solid mass, doesn't need to be sharp you not trying to cut through the can top, you trying to put pressure onto it to break the seal, so the more folds in the paper the better. Use the thickest corner and rub along where the seal should break, put some pressure into it

    I think you completely misunderstood the can opening hack. The paper is folded to make it tough. Then the paper is used to just push the can open with force. The rubbing is simply a misunderstanding, because the paper doesn't really have any grip on the metal. So while pushing it with force it slides around a bit, which looks like rubbing I guess.
    (At least that's how I understood it.)

    The can thing also works with a wooden stick, but maybe it is card in the video. It needs to be strong and thick and it needs to be the corner and constantly rubbing where you drink from around the rim

    I have Coconut cups virtually like that from a Malibu promo, they probably used a torch or similar to make those, the science is sound though as you're using heat to make everything expand and then rapidly cooling it in cold water making it contract with the flesh cooling and contracting more due to its water content.
    You could feasibly do it with any heat source thats hot enough and heats the Coconut evenly so an electric hob could work, you just need a different type of ring as the one in the vid has a gap in the middle that act like a holder.

    If you use a handle of a wooden spoon on the can and rub it hard and fast it will open this actually does work as I’ve done it in the past 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
