Don't forget we've done 24 other hack episodes to date! Grab the popcorn, have a Barrathon and check them out here czcams.com/video/jdKv_PUEL90/video.html if you've seen any hacks we've not done before, keep them coming and we'll add them to the list :)
Giant pork and pickle pie please
flavoured pancakes ... instead of using milk, add a cup of hot chocolate or coffee to the pancake mix. you could even try it with lemon tea. I'm not sue if you would call it a hack. but it makes a change from normal pancakes.
Hehe I've done quite a few times, the hack computation video is perfect to fall a sleep to.
i know it is pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to watch new series online ?
@Maximilian Rudy I watch on flixzone. Just google for it =)
Mrs Barry: “Sometimes people lie” 😢
Said in the saddest voice ever.
@@brianartillery I know! It felt like explaining to a kid that not everything people say is true...
@@Firsona - Barry's so lucky to be married to such a beautiful (and I mean that in every sense) person. Some of the things he does are batshit crazy, and she hasn't killed him brutally yet (although the addition of a breezeblock to the kitchen, from the garden came close).😆😆😆
love the ashens "hello" lol
Good old Ashens. I haven't watched his videos for a couple years I might have to lol
i first wasn't sure and had to rewind :D
@@flynna He streams on twitch now too, always a laugh.
@@enigma776 what sort of content?
@@flynna scantily clad, I hope!
Mrs. B used to be so shy. Awesome to see her play more part in videos, she's hilarious! Good work guys!
I always read “Hello” in Ashens voice already. This was just perfect!
What’s the story behind him saying biyaa for the word seal?
@@98ijaz I recommend listening to the song "Kiss From A Rose" by the artist Seal.
Ahhhhhh I was just about to comment, it freaked me out!!!
The "Hello" in Ashen's voice went through my head at the exact time the clip played and I had to rewind just to check I actually heard it xD
Salt in the coffee has been my mom's hack for years. She hates bitter food. It works a dream.
I love salt in the coffee. Makes it taste better. Bring a fuller flavor.
Your mom should just buy the caffeine and put it in a glass of wine or something, if she hates bitter food 🌈
My Dad put it in his beer to take some bitterness out of that too.
@@robertschnobert9090 She drinks decaf! Sadly, salt cannot take the bitter out of people.
Wow gotta try this!
I'm from a city which is famous for coffee and I learned from my mother (and also grandmother) as soon as I started drinking coffee that you should always use a little salt while brewing the coffee because it enhances the flavour. I always thought that this was common knowledge :D
The chocolate on top of the muffin didn't seize, it bloomed. That's when chocolate is exposed to extreme temperatures. Melt, freeze etc. The fats in the chocolate rise to the surface and then chill there.
Is it just me or do they just honestly seem like the nicest couple you could ever meet? They seem so incredibly nice!
I always sing "bayaaa" whenever someone says "seal" in a Barry's video. Who's with me?
Same here 😂
Yep
ahaha same
Yep, right there with you xD
I sing it every time someone says seal irl. Not just Barry’s videos.
In the original good eats series I think there was an episode where alton brown explained that salt blocks the bitter receptors on your tongue.
The look on Mrs. Barrys face when the poached egg didnt't work is literally mine, when I screw up something.
I heard you sneak that Ashens greet in there =D
LOL the salt is such an old one, my great grandparents already did that about 100 years ago!
My dad alway put a pinch of salt in the coffee percolator 30+ years ago, brings out the full flavour of said coffee
same. my dad would do the same thing
Add msg yum
My mother taught me to make coffee years ago in a percolator and said that you always put some salt in with the grounds before you perk. Never told me why just said it made for better coffee.
The salt trick also works great on grapefruit!
I must give that a try.. I really love the smell but I can't stand the taste..
@@w.vangaal1077 It'll be less bitter cause the salt molecules block the bitter receptors on your tongue.
When we would vacation with my aunt, and she would make drip coffee for everyone, she would always add a half tea spoon of salt to it, this was in the mid 90s. So I knew that hack would work :D
13:10 bayayaaah
14:05 A wild Ashens is somewhere in your kitchen Barry, watch out!
What’s the story behind baya?
@@98ijaz The singer "Seal" has a well known song called kissed by a rose, it starts with him making a sound like "bayayaaah"
Google it!
14:05 cracks me up. All I could think of was Ashens and then you play it anyway 🤣🤣
Use a bundt pan for the corn, it will hold the corn and it will catch the kernels!
I must try that salt in the coffee trick - it sounds good. The melted chocolate calligraphy was fun too. The rest was hilarious!! Brilliant work both - you make a great team!
I just love watching the two of you together!🙏❤️🥂such fun 😊thank you for all the hard work and great videos !!!!!
If you’re looking for another hack to try, similar to the salt in coffee to get rid of bitterness, a pinch of baking soda takes some of the bitterness away by neutralizing the tannins in tea. It’s great for making sweet tea in the summertime.
Salt in the coffee is an old hack. I love kitchen hacks when when Mrs B is there. Hacks that don't work are the best.
Did we ever find out what was going on between Barry, salt bae, and seal? He said he couldn't say anything for year. Has it been a year?
a year will be december
I love this series with you two, it's always fun. :)
Could you do an episode with "d'oh!" hacks, i.e. hacks built into a product that you figured out way too late? Or that you wished you had seen because they were too easy? I recently learned that the dimples in the cross between 4 ice cubes in the tray are filling aids that help you fill 4 cubes with one go.
Re: the salt in coffee hack. Alton Brown covered this in one of his Good Eats episodes, the science behind it (roughly) is that the receptors on our tongue that recognize bitter also recognize salt and they tend to receive the signal of salt first. So you add a tiny pinch of salt and it's enough for the receptors to overlook the bitter without turning your coffee salty.
I've never done it for instant, but anytime I brew coffee grounds I always add a pinch of salt to help curb the bitter =)
6:35 aww ain't that the truth Mrs. Barry!!
Love these videos keep up the great work u guys! Hope ur family is having a great Spring! 🌻🌸
2:27 hey Barry you can wrap your ear of corn in a damp paper towel and microwave for a couple minutes (or more depending on how well you want it) and bingo bango....cooked corn 🌽🌽🌽🌽
You should bring back saying "bayayaaa". I miss it. It's not the same when we say it in our head
I love watching you two together! You guys are so much fun and seem to have such great chemistry! 💚
I love the sound of the kitchen starter kit especially being a student, don’t have all the right stuff sometimes so a kit would be brill 👍🏼
I loved the little Ashens “HELLO!”
I’m loving the videos with the both of you in it, you both bounce off each other perfectly ❤️
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you for the coffee hack! My partner is always buying super strong beans
So I tried with a few grains of salt and voila it’s not as bitter 🥰
One for you, you may know it already
Put the rind of parmesan in the meat sauce whilst cooking, depth of flavour is amazing. Don’t forget to fish it out or someone will get a surprise in the lasagne!
Absolutely Love You Two!!
I absolutely love the videos with you AND Mrs. "Barry". I love the way you two bounce off of each other. I like seeing what appears to be a healthy relationship! ;-)
I’m enjoying seeing both of you more and more in videos. I just enjoy the dynamic
When Barry comes out with the cupcake, I died xD
I cannot get over the level of cuteness of the two of you 🥰
i was laughing my arse off all the way haha awesome vids barry and mrs barry :)
as always. A great day to start my day! That was fun to watch!
Loving the Stuart "hello" lol
"Tins of sweet corn are available from most super markets"
The vinegar holds the whites together, I always use vinegar and drop cold eggs into the water as it comes too the boil. 4 mins perfect eggs every time 😁
Some of them are cool and some are crazy thanks for sharing. I like your videos
The salt thing is something i learned from a navy man. Long time military/truck stop secret.
You two are just adorkable
Love you two filming together it Fab!!
Loved the Ashens "Hello!"
I LOVE HER SHE MAKES ME LAUGH EVERY TIME KEEP GOING YOU MADE MY DAY! PEACE FROM CANADA
I lost it at 14:48 :D Always funny and learning new stuff with your videos Barry! Cheers to Mrs. Barry!
The salt in the coffee hack also works for bitter hot chocolate!
For the molten cake hack I don't think you should push it down, they cake should bake up around it. At least when I regular bake cupcakes with surprises inside (ganache, cookie dough) I just drop it on top of three batter.
Up, up you go!
and/or place a thin bit of wafer underneath the cube.
The egg one I put in about a tablespoon of vinegar into slow boiling water then add the eggs slowly then wait 3 minutes. The poached eggs turn out perfectly. Corn I throw into microwave husks on for 5 to 8 min. Then cut the corn off with a knife or just eat as is. Quick and easy. Great video once again.
Mrs B. Love the salt in the coffee hack. Love watching the pair of you better than my tv.
You could make Medusa cupcakes with the "mop top" seized chocolate 😅
Hilarious, love your videos. TFS
Love the two of you together x
Just in time for my break at work! Cheers bazza!
Re: Coffee. Put the salt in the grounds in your coffee machine instead of the poured cup. Molton mug cake. Don’t push it down as far. Cheers from Canader eh!
Haha "Hello" - Ashens - I see what you did there mister!!
Just made perfect poached eggs after watching this video Thanks From Australia
Mrs. B ist adorable!!! 🥰
Another good hack for cutting corn off the cob is to use a Bundt pan and stick the cob in the center hole and cut the kernels so that they fall into the pan.
Next time for the chocolate nest decoration use tempered chocolate a freezer cold vodka. It'll work way better.
Love this videos so much
Thanks!
That salt in the coffee has been around for MANY years. LOL About 40 years ago I worked in a restaurant where we put salt in the filter with the coffee in the coffee machine and the whole pot was good. All of our customers loved the coffee.
I was so disappointed it didn’t say “help” 🤣🤣 great hacks!
Easy hack for cooking corn on the cob. Leave the husk on and stick it in the microwave for 3-3.5 min. The husk and silk come off really easily and the corn is cooked nicely.
Have always known salt mellows out your coffee. Add a pinch if you brew you coffee or my mom would add clean eggs shells to her coffee grounds before brewing.
I love the smell of coffee but have never liked the taste because of the bitterness. Someone told me about the salt and I've been doing it for years. I love that you guys have found it too.
My mum used to poach eggs in vinegar water. I never could stand them. The best hack I've seen explained that some parts of the egg white are thinner than the rest. It's the difference in density that causes shaggy poached eggs. So you put the eggs into a sieve to get rid of the thin watery stuff, then slide the remaining yolk and white gently into the boiling water. Works like a charm and no horrid vinegar taste. Seeing as how I'm allergic to most vinegars, not dying over a poached egg is just a bonus.
Okay, I'm going to get an apple corer like Barry has for corn on the cob. That's brilliant!
Don’t know if you get it in the UK, but I’ve found peanut butter POWDER takes away the bitterness in coffee. I was experimenting trying to add a different flavor to my one cup-a-day. It didn’t flavor it but definitely smoothed it out. Better for you than salt.
My mom and dad would always use salt in the coffee grounds before brewing the coffee. It worked really well that way as well. Then we used the wet coffee grounds for our tomato plants in the garden.
I want a GIF of Mrs. B saying, "sometimes people lie" she sounded so sad lol
Supposedly, salt blocks bitter receptors on the tongue. A pinch of salt is often part of hot chocolate recipes.
I need to stay in bed due to an injury, so this made my day :)
My grandpa used to put salt in his coffee when it was to bitter seeing this it brought back so much memories I miss my grandpa so much 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Unintentional Dad Joke; "Corn is a-maize-ing."
I tried the salt in the coffee hack this morning, it really did help! All you need is a little pinch and it helps cut the bitterness! And you can't even really taste the salt, that is what I was afraid of, but it just tastes like coffee lol
Fantastic
Cheers :)
Highlight of my day!
For poaching eggs, get the water spinning and the whites will stay where they should, solidify and then cook like normal and they stay tight and poach properly
The poached egg add a little like a tablespoon of vinegar and the water then swirl the water add the egg. You added too much vinegar. Watch Alton Brown poached eggs
1st, time 😁, your,show, good job 👍👏👏, from parmar family from Charlotte NC, USA.🍻
Love the t-shirt Barry
that coffee trick also works for reheated coffee from the microwave 😉👍👍
As usual, 90% success when Becky picks the hacks! Solution for the lava mug cake is in what you said at the beginning: the hack videos never give you proper measurements. You're looking to make a ganache; 1:1 cream to chocolate (by volume) is probably the right way to go, but if that's too thin still, you can try 1:2 for a thicker ganache.
Vinegar in the water for poached eggs is how my family have always done it. Put the vinegar in the water first then add the eggs
thats awesome, love the chocolate worms on the muffin!!! :D :D :D .. Mrs B, the hacks are great, shows us what NOT to try!!!
Salt makes you taste bitter less. MSG does the same. Adding small amounts of salt to anything will make it taste sweeter.
Salt and sugar is perfect for fixing anything! If you make something too salty, just add some sugar and it equals it out.
I heard that Ashens "Hello" when you showed the chocolate art!
You can try putting a slice of salted butter into coffee. It reduces the bitterness of coffee and added creaminess to it. It is an old style way of drinking coffee in Singapore called Kopi Guyu.
I learned the salt in coffee trick from Alton Brown! I always put a little in with the grounds.
My Great Grandma always said that you should add a pinch of sugar to everything savoury, and a pinch of salt to everything sweet as it enhances the flavour.
I love vinegary poached eggs I was jealous of Barry
