We tested Viral Kitchen Hacks | Can You Write with Chocolate?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Lets put some viral kitchen hacks to the test! More kitchen hack testing videos on the kitchen hack playlist • We tested Kitchen Hack...
You can find 100's of more fun food videos, recipe steps & ingredients, merch like books & t-shirts plus my own kitchen gadgets on my website barrylewis.net
So what did Mrs Barry & I make of these? Well, I don't think you should be using a whisk on an orange any time soon and melting chocolate can be done way better easier ways, the risk of it seizing (like I think it did the first time) sort of made that a fail. But the food hack with the chopsticks, may mean a few more date nights at a sushi place!

    Well do I remember his adventures in voltage with that grilled cheese toaster. It's a miracle he didn't end up like Marv from Home Alone 2. Still, they handled the marshmallow hack alright. I thought I was gonna have to play Fire Shaman from the Stardust Crusaders OST again, like I did when Barry gave that puny little toaster a good hard British 230V. (it might have been 240V, but the point stands that Barry gave that appliance a proper electronic rodgering)

    The orange would probably work with a really cheap flimsy whisk. It needs to be super flexable. The issue with the toaster is its not hot enough. You need to have enough heat to toast the outside before the inside gets hot. To little heat an the whole thing just melts.
