#kitchengadgets #barrylewis #gadgets - Jak na to + styl
I like this warm light better than the cold one your cameraman uses. This feels and looks more natural. :)
“Sorry for the drop in quality”, I actually prefer these older style videos. Feels more genuine and personal
I agree. I prefer this style... Original
I think that with a bit of time we could get used to the new style. And having help with the recording was better for his health, it seems like his back is hurting due to the angles he is using to record himself.
I definitely like this style of video way better, and I don't see why Barry can't hire a cameraperson who is able to work this way instead of turning everything into imitation Food Network.
Nobody was complaining that Barry had help - just that the new style of video made the videos less fun to watch. (In particular I *really* hated the color timing, and it would have been so easy for Cam to just, like, not do that.)
I feel like there is other ways to negate the back issues too. Higher table maybe? Something for the new kitchen?
Agree!
...So the 'iced' coffee maker is literally just a regular coffee maker that comes with a big cup. xD
Right?!?!? Better spent money on a mini drip coffee maker from the dollar store.
@@chrissiroisWhat dollar store do you shop at where you can buy a coffee maker? Unless you mean a store like “Family Dollar”, where it costs $15.00. It looks like hot water goes into the larger brew basket giving it extra time to brew with and make the coffee stronger than just the 4-cup coffee maker.
@@jpbaley2016 yeah, I was just generalizing about the dollar store thing, and I also really wasn't paying attention to that aspect that you noticed. If that's the case, thank you for clearing it up
@@chrissirois Oh no! I was just wondering if you found a cheap coffee maker!
@@jpbaley2016 right on. I'm a bargain shopper, so, it's usually Goodwill.
the iced coffee thing seems pointless to me. It's no different from a normal coffee maker except it asks you to put ice in the coffee pot/cup
Exactly. It's just a drip coffee machine, I bet you can get one cheaper. All it's done it showing that if you drip your coffee over ice instead of adding ice later, it gets cold by the time it has finished brewing. You can use this knowledge as a lifehack tho.
I had a coffee maker combo that was a single cup and a full pot maker in one. It broke. They sent me two makers. This one and a normal one. It's pretty nice for a single cup maker and I looked it up, it's only about $25 at my local shops, which is much better than a Keurig. If you use the pods, just cut the top open and put it in the basket.
The cup and straw it comes with is pretty nice too.
I'm sick at home with a terrible cold. This is just the thing I needed. Thank Barry for all the giggles.
Ohh no hope you get rid of the cold soon
Hope you feel better soon and thanks for the kind words
I hope you get and feel better soon!!!
Get better soon, take care.
@@mrbarrylewisI love peach iced tea
A camera person that could film your videos like this (and edit the in the same style) so your back gets a bit of rest would be perfect, I think. By the 3rd video in the “new style” I did get used to it but this just feels like family. Or what about a higher worktop? (I have Spina Bifida and Arachnoiditis which causes severe back pain; I’m full of back saving ideas. 😂)
Literally just been down the big B&M looking at kitchen gadgets and thinking “Barry has reviewed this and it’s not as good as it looks!” Thanks for saving me money!
haha love that, I wonder if there are others!?
@@mrbarrylewisthere’s always stuff coming out.
same here, just with tesco and amazon.
This style of video is much more personal, I really prefer it. It feels like a guy in his kitchen cooking an experimenting and records it. The new style is a CZcamsr that is making content, just to make content.
If you want to continue with the new style, please ignore the camera guy and talk to us like he is not there.
Lol "we're going to test out a coffee maker as if it's a new invention" 😂
Barry: Makes Ice Tea without Sugar > Wonders why he doesn't like tea.
This "lower quality" is so much better, more real, more fun, alot better to watch and more entertaining, feels like you Barry and not a television show, hope you find the balance you need
The quality of the videos you made with the previous Cam person was great, I am in the team OG Barry but I understand why working with someone is so helpful and good for you and some reactions were just nasty. I feel like the difference is when you do it by yourself your videos have that cozy, homey vibe. Like “I am in the kitchen with you, peeking from behind your shoulder”. The cam person shots and editing gave you a more pro/teacher-esque look. We have to admit a lot of people, myself included, fell in love with the former style. Maybe you can figure out how to include some iconic Barry moves. Personally, it is not a Barry Lewis video without something like lying sideways on the countertop and talking to us when adjusting the camera.
However, you will do what's best for you, your health and well-being, and your family. No matter what, I will continue to watch your hilarious videos. Lots of love ❤
I love your videos Barry and Mrs Barry! I personally love the older style videos too, but I appreciate that you have to enjoy making your videos so any method you choose is fantastic! Thanks so much! All my family love your content ! 👍👍👍
I love that even after YEARS in the kitchen, making recipes, testing every gadget imaginable Barry still manages to bungle like 80% of them in the most simple ways possible.
Please never change, Barry.
Love that its just you, the kitchen and the camera.
For testing the accuracy of the scale spoon, it would probably be better to use water, since volume and weight are directly correlated for water. For the paprika, volume and weight may not be directly correlated - it's really hard to precisely relate volume and weight for ground solids, which could be more coarsely or smoothly ground than whatever control was used for the google answer.
Omg... I missed this style of video. I can feel more personal touch and got Berry's unique personality all over it. Love it! ❤
Another great video! I was getting my lunch together, saw the first gadget, and all I could hear was Marvin saying “This will all end in tears…” Thank you, Barry for the wonderful work and laughs!
The Barry is back!..with his unique style!! Love it! 💚
The vegetable chopper would be a great way to get veg into children who aren't keen.
I like the measuring spoon and iced coffee maker, although I might give the peach tea a miss lol.
Great collection of gadgets today, Barry.
Thanks Caz
So would a blender 🙄
I honestly have been enjoying Cam being around, doesn't say much but works like a character in a game, when the camera's moving around it feels a little more like actual interaction rather than 1-on-1 with a camera on a tripod, and the bonus of helping physically! And these gadget videos always are such a curiosity to me, seeing what types of nonsense people come up with, and how much of it isn't nonsense at all!
yeah this was back to one on one tripod stuff today / for the near future anyway I think
Well hey, be sure to take care of yourself when you can, and don't get yourself hurt, I think that's the last thing any of us want
Hi Barry 👋 I love your videos, and I fully sympathise with your back issues. A couple of things that have helped me. 1 is a self heating back brace. I've degenerative disc disease, and it's been amazing fairly cheap from amazon. 2 slightly more extreme, my other half made my kitchen island a bit higher, less bend, so less pressure on the lower spine ❤
Love seeing the old style come back! Maybe you can use a higher table in the new kitchen to help with your back?
This is SO much better than that other bloke filming you! this/you just feels natural! 😀
This feels much better, if there’s a way to keep this style and make things easier for you then I say do it. Much more personal
That iced tea was...interesting! Maybe you folks could suggest a better recipe for me to try?

Love your videos mate! They always make My day!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I read somewhere that tea needs proper 100C boiling water to break down some of the more bitter flavours, but most coffee machines only heat to 80C, so I imagine that absolutely wasn't Barry's cup of tea at all
haha nope!@@goldenappel
For the tea look into cheong and make a peach one
How about green matcha? It's more subtle than normal tea
OMG I've missed the old style so much 💙
I would have cut off an end of the potato to have a more secure base to put on the base before pressing down. Including instructions with that first device would also have been really helpful.
Very good point! I did mull that over but was going that route for the carrot!
Even still, I think the build quality was just pants. Mixing thin plastic and super sharp metal blades in a movable form factor like that is just asking for trouble. Dangerous trouble at that.
I've had a similar item in the past and it did the same thing it came apart and the blades came out. Personally I feel like if you have a need for a device like this just get a commercial type one. Plus it has the advantage of being able to get different inserts to cut different shapes and sizes.
I have the same item exactly, it specifically states to cut larger potatoes to a reasonable size. I do not have a lot of strength to push them through yet have been able to put decent ones through it and never broken it. I usually like Barry's practical approach but I was a bit horrified at the ridiculous bashing to get the potato out. No wonder it broke! The gadget is really no different than the apple corer/slicer things that frequently get used, except for the shape.
I Love these type of quality videos... They feel more personal and more you... Great video... Hope all is well... Take care
So glad the old self filming camera style is back. Much prefer it.
So just a cheap drip-brewer with a giant beaker to put ice in 😅😅😅
maaaaaayyyyybe lol
Miss this style a bit honestly, not because of the camera work, but just because it doesn't feel like Barry is trying his best to be a Food Network host, yanno hahah
Yes, that's exactly it. I can only imagine how much fun it is to test new styles but in this case a running and loved system might be better off staying that way or changing very slowly. People never love change haha. This being said I completely agree with other comments saying getting help is totally fine if not necessary for your health. It's just about maybe taking slower steps towards a new style and let's be honest. This was a great viewer servey. Now it's pretty clear what makes people watch. Obviously it's Internet so not everyone knows how to behave well. Anyway, please Barry if you should read this, take care of yourself, your health is the most important. ❤
Love your vids and your personality (the rest of the family too) and i miss your vids with your daughters 😢
I wonder why you didn't reach 1 million yet?!
Love from Egypt ❤
I've actually had one of those 'lawnmower' vegetable choppers for years now. If I just quickly want to dice something finely, and I'm not too bothered by size consistency, then it really works wonders.
Hope Mrs Barry gets well soon! ❤So nice to have the old style back; this is so much better! I do totally understand why you need help, but if/when you do get a new camera guy, PLEASE don't change the overall look and feel of the videos again! 🙏 From reading the comments, and my own personal view, I think a great compromise would be to keep this setup (coloring, lighting, angle, tripod etc) and just have someone help you operate the camera to save your back! Also, you could have the camera guy try the food at the end after the Patreon credits and call it a CAMeo or something, lol. I'm not sure if you did that with old Cam, but definitely an idea for new Cam!
It feels like the good old days though Barry. Hope Mrs Barry feels better soon. Love that spinner chopper thingy 😊 I need a good electric cheese grater because I have osteoarthritis in my hands. Any recommendations? Love your video, they always make us happy. 🧑🏻🍳
Oof yeah, I struggle with a regular grater too. I have a stand mixer that has a grater attachment option, but I've been worried to buy it cuz it looks like it won't do a good job.
Love the video! Hope you can find a Cam soon who can help you find a good balance of old and new video styles.
Barry's hate for the air fryer is just endlessly amusing to me. Seriously, they've been around for years, A LOT of people I know have one, and personally, I want one. If they were actually just a fad, I'm pretty sure they'd be gone already.
We use our air fryer more than our traditional oven now, cooks way quicker and heats up in about a minute.
So much better having a 'normal' style video back with just you (and the family) at home, not overly professional. I'll admit I hated the first one you did a few weeks ago, I had to turn it off half way through, but the ones after were better, but being back to this style is even better than that
Barry, in order to get accurate grams in tsp and tbsp and such, then you have to scoop it into the tsp with something else and level it off. if you just scoop it with the measuring spoon and say all is good, then you are actually compacting the ingredient into the spoon, thus making it more grams than needed.
The ice coffee maker made me think of something you can try out. Can you investigate the whole cold brew coffee story, try different ways of doing it, and tell us what you would recommend (if any)
So happy to see an original style Barry video again 🎉
That oil solidifier stuff is awesome! I heard about it from America's Test Kitchen and immediately ordered some, and it makes cleaning up so much easier.
are you not beginning to make the start of soap
@@mellonmarshall kind of, but it's a different chemical process. In both cases it's a type of polymerization but in this case it doesn't make soap so much as something similar to a stuff jello
@@Zelmel cool, I ain't made soap but it reminded me of soap making
@@mellonmarshall Last time I made soap I managed to set it on fire so I have nothing to stand on as far as that goes.
Currently rewatching all the kitchen gadget testing videos, gives me childhood nostalgia 😭
I do like this style of video better, only because it does feel more personable. Like friends having a good ol time 😁 But your health and time with your family matters more ❤ I Hope you find the right cam person to help you achieve that ❤ Much love and many blessings ❤️
Awesome video, these were some very entertaining gadget tests.
Thanks a bunch!
9:40 As for the tea/tablespoon measurement: Tea/Tablespoon in america, australia and europe is different. I was shocked about it too the first time, I thought the whole world just agrees on spoon sizes but nope. 🤣😅
You can see the inspiration and relief and pure enjoying what you do when you had a Cam. I hooe whn you get to have your freedom back and have a cam again others will be able to just enjoy .
Just sitting here watching another great and entertaining video from you Barry and I just remembered you were building a new kitchen and wondered about how that coming along?🤗
Sorry for the drop in quality?!?!?!?!
This is the best video in a good while!
Love this style so much.
Keep up the good work Barry, love from the netherlands ❤
I think that spoon/scale is more for things like flour when baking or just generally things in bags. Saves a scale from being used. Just stuff the spoon in, pop it straight to a mixing bowl
The iced coffee maker is just a regular coffee machine with a cup full of ice. You should make the coffee in a regular pot over ice and just see if it’s indeed the same flavour.
Absolutely love this video and I’m so happy to see the old style videos again as the recent ones just weren’t the same for me ❤
Properly lolled throughout this. Thank you Barry for making our Monday evening
So that thing for the deep fryer is essentially a re-packaging of that Gelli Baff stuff they sell to kids? (Or as a luxurious relaxing bath aid for middle class women)
I really appreciate you doing gadgets that could be helpful in the kitchen for disabled people, as it means I don't have to waste money on things that won't work for me (or falls apart!)
For Peach Tea, what you want to do is make peach syrup, 1 cup water - 1 cup sugar - two thinly sliced peaches, first and then mix it with the tea. You'll have a lot more syrup than you need, but you can use it for a lot of stuff other than tea.
Will admit, the chopping of the coffee beans hurt my soul as a coffee snob! 😂
LOVE these gadget videos! I enjoy all your content but the gadget videos are my fav!
As much as the new videos were a new direction, and they looked great, but It's good to see the classic style back 😁
I used to have a string pull chopper similar to this and I loved it but one of the blades broke off. I replaced it with an electric bosch chopper, MMRO8R1GB and I love it. You just put the blade in the bottom, add the food, drop in the protective tray and then sit the domed motor on top and press it down to set it off. Even used it to make mayonnaise as the protective layer has drip holes for drizzling in the oil. The motor part stays clean and the two other sections wash easy.
Yay, kitchen gadget testing! Whatever you decide with a cameraman or not, I'm here for you! Do reach out if you need anything!
Thanks a bunch
you should send that potato with the blade sticking out of it to a UK crafting youtuber to embed in a solid block of resin for a nice decoration lol
I have one of those little choppers, although mine is round. It's great for camping without electricity. I also use it to make breadcrumbs.
love this Barry. will watch no matter what!
Love love Love your videos :) especially the gadgets ones such fun!!!
To get rid of used fry oil easily. I just pour the oil in old butter tubs or milk jugs, then take to my local restaurant. It let's you pour in its collection containers to be recycled
Your Gadget videos Barry! You always find interesting and funny ones!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
The iced coffee maker is hilarious. It's literally just a coffee machine with a different container, isn't it? 😂
Been so long since I watched one of your videos! Went off youtube for a while and idk I guess I'm subscribed to too many channels that yours got lost in it. Glad to be back💜
Look for a vegematic for the 1st one. I don't know if they still make them, ours is vintage. We love ours
I remember that vegematic.
Spoon scale is a win but the others are just not great. Simply pour your morning coffee on ice and forget that one cup where can I store this gimmick.
I also like the "old school" way this video is made.
I always thought your measuring spoons seemed a bit big and I WAS RIGHT!!
Think it would be nice if you kept the gadget videos with your old style since its your bookmark series as well as adding a bit of variation for consistent viewers :)
Peach ginger tea is my favorite. Usually it's a white tea. 😊
I have had this ice coffee maker for maybe almost a year? I honestly love it!!
**the Mr. Coffee version technically
Lol Barries sun tan lotion man good work man.
The peach would be great in yoghurt. ❤😊
Hello from colorado Barry! Been loving this series for years
Hey! thanks
adding milk to coffe .its went white amazing .
Barry, you should have either cut the potato in half or laid it down on it's side, it's made to cut short chips, not long ones
Barry, I hope you can find a “Cam” who can help you grow the way you would like your channel to grow but keep it homey enough to satisfy those who don’t see a need for a change. I’ll watch whatever you put out and be grateful for the content. No apologies necessary though, for certain. I subscribed for this, and I’ll stay for whatever comes next! Thanks for being my ultimate cheer-up and relax content after a tough day at work. ❤️
Oh dear, Barry! If you had cut the top and bottom of your spud (for a small flat surface), you wouldn’t have broken your chip maker… 😘😉 You always make me laugh… as well as being a little frustrating at times. 😂😆😂😆😂😆 Keep them videos coming, they are great! ❣️🌹
Barry, what a hooligan mate !!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
lol cheers
Letting your intrusive thoughts win by sticking your whole hand in the grease 😄
Leave cover open on fryer to cool faster. Great video
The vegetable chopper is brill! I use it for onions & garlic!
13:45 my favorite gadget barry! LOVE myself some coffe mate! ☕☕☕☕☕☕
I would not send the broken one as it may be considered way to dangerous for other people. That thing scared me when you broke it cause I didn't want you to get hurt.
Hardly a drop in quality Barry, the lighting is better and it's way more natural. Absolutely thrilled to see it back to the natural Barry standard.
A thought I had and wondered when you mentioned your back, can you move the camera back a bit so you don't need to bend over or is it ss my wife suggested the way it is so you can see the screen and see yourself?
I did NOT expect that vegetable chopper to work. Great gadget, could be really useful for some people!
I really prefer this video style Barry, it feels so much better.
Ha! I've got that little chick egg separator thing. My kids LOVE it.
Everyone complains when change happens but once it becomes normal they figure it out. I liked this version of camera added rather than the first you tried a few years ago. I hope you find a good fit for you soon.
We've got similar veggie chopper, though it's from Joseph Joseph, and definitely more robust! After many similar failed attempts, we found chopping the bottom end of the potato helps send it straight. Overall a great gadget for quickly making some chips in the air fryer. 🤙
I think i have seen as similar chopper from Tupperware too
Glad to see the old style back, even if it's just for a little
Handpull mixer is a favorite in my house, I make ground beef with mine, mince up most vegs, do nuts and just in general a really useful tool in the kitchen for me. Especially those times my wrists or hands hurts too badly to hold a knife safely
We've had the Tupperware version of that string chopper for quite a while and it's great for chopping loads of things. Particularly good for chillies and garlic if you want to avoid touching.
That Breville coffee thing is just a drip machine labeled 'iced coffee maker' :p
