Cracking eggs on a corner of something makes shell come away from the white membrane. Cracking eggs on a flat surface help the shell stay attached to the membrane preventing the shell from ending up in the egg you are cooking. Learnt that trick years ago while watch some random French chef on tv at around 3am some random morning

Or you buy smaller packs of rice, cook the whole pack in a ricecooker and then freeze the leftovers to mikrowave later. Ricecooker I find is anyways the most underused kitchen utensil in western kitchens I can think of. I recently got one for my mom, and she find it too be super convenient. It’s so much easier than to use a pan. I have mine since 7 years and it works a Charme. You can also throw in some quinoa and lentils and cook it all together, put some sauce and few veggies and you have a full meal that almost cooked itself :) If you feeling really fancy and have a bigger model you can even use the steam from the rice to steam your veggies while you cooking the rice inside of the cooker

Regarding the rice bag + coke bottle top hack, just scrunch the bag together at the top, run the open part of the bag through the cut-off coke bottle top, pull it down past the threading in the bottle top, and then screw the lid on. One more instance for you to stop burning yourself.

The corn in the bunt pan, my family has been doing that for generations at harvest. We blanch the corn, cut it off the cob and freeze it. A bunt pan has been used more for processimg sweet corn than actual cake.

I love having them in the videos too, it does impact our time together off camera - (eg being a family) sometimes which is something I need to think about rather than spending quality time with them putting a camera in front of them isn't always ideal so I try to only do it when we can and not burn them out

With those potato flowers, you could open up a ridiculously expensive restaurant and sell them covered in unnecessary gold leaf and salt sprinkled in a silly manner and annoy food critics too... :P

Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. Just like an armadillo

You can also use an apple corer to make an onion flower as well, similar to what you did with the potatoes.

That hot dog hack looks like a State Fair version of what our family called "Weiner Winks" - a hot dog wrapped in yellow American cheese & white bread and toasted.

Wahaca restaurant call them corn ribs for the sweetcorn slices they charge a fortune. And the rice hack it's called a storage canister lol

The rice hack. You gotta cut the top off a bottle and thread the opening of the bag through the hole, (it's opened all the way across one end) open the bag around the edge and seal it with the cap.

I love all your content especially when you have Ms B or the girls on. I really miss the lives you did where you walked the dogs with us and showed us more daily life and things. You are a beautiful family from another country and I just live everything about it.

I thought the whole point of buying corn still on the cob was to eat it off the cob. 😄

Instead of slamming the knife blade down on the stone, I find it easier to gently press it into the stone, then when the knife is pressed in about half an inch I go ahead and twist it and remove the stone. Especially if it’s a paring knife or something, it’s so much easier and much less likely to result in a missing appendage

The exterior of the eggshells should NOT have contact with the yolk or white, nor with the pan, in order to prevent salmonella. Also, washing your hands afterwards is recommended.

@@pennyhero7873 Sadly, the lion mark doesn’t protect you from everything. Having kept chickens which were all vaccinated against salmonella I can tell you that the bacteria on the shells can make you unwell. Think about where that egg just came from and how often you see “free range” eggs with feathers or droppings stuck to them. Here is the U.K. government advice : Avoiding the spread of bacteria. Bacteria can spread very easily from eggs to other foods, as well as hands, utensils and worktops. There can be bacteria on the eggshell as well as inside the egg, so take care when handling them. These tips can help avoid the spread of bacteria: Keep eggs away from other foods, both when they are in the shell and after you have cracked them. Be careful not to splash egg onto other foods, worktops or dishes. Always wash and dry your hands thoroughly after touching eggs or working with them. Clean surfaces, dishes and utensils thoroughly, using warm soapy water, after working with eggs. Don't use eggs with damaged shells, because dirt or bacteria might have got inside them

I saw the corn/bundt pan hack on the foodnetwork years ago. I've used it and it works. Especially helpful when you scrape the milk from the cob, no mess.

Hi Barry, very entertaining. Ouefs are eggs in French. Spanish for eggs is huevos.

Y'all are precious! I forgot about thses videos,I'm glad I discovered these again.

On the bag hack, I have learned from making gingerbread houses using an icing tip and a plastic bag. First cut a tiny hole then force the tip though expand the plastic and creating a seal. then wrap a twist tie around it to hold it in place. I regards to the bottle you could do the same thing with the bag but if the plastic is not stretchy then cut a hole about the size of the cap and when cutting the bottom leave about 1/4th inch around the end and push it though the opening the bag should grip the bottle because of the thinner part between the lip and the start of the container.

I love this series! Its my favourite! Can we please have Mrs Barry in every episode?

Yum, nothing like melted plastic and fumes next to your food! I'm definitely going to try the corn hack though, that looks very handy.

I use that melting a bottle cap onto a bag. You have to have a lot of patience so you don't melt holes in it. Use the heat of the flame not the flame itself. Or just use tape. You actually need to have a lot more patience. With that cheese hotdog you need to wait for the cheese to brown and crisp before flipping them you get a crunchy browned cheese crust. I use breakfast sausage and pancakes with pepperjack.

I really need to stop watching your videos at night, they always make me hungry 😩

Gosh! A new one!💖💖 My entire family (except the dogs and the cat) loves yours! Also loved the video and was very impressed with how many successful ones you had this time Barry!

That avocado one changed my life! I always do it that way now! The riper the better! And that corn one i seen people shuck it by pressing it through all the way instead of cutting it!

The videos with Mrs B are the best, you two together crack me up! 👍☺️

Always good to see you Mrs Barry, and of course Barry! I enjoyed to episode, thank you both!

With the coke top rice thingy, just rubber band the coke top to the bag!

Mr. and Mrs. B are always able to make me laugh, which makes my day! Thank you! I live in Maine (US) and we are known for our red, natural casing hotdogs, which are awesome! I must say I have never seen hotdogs in a jar before. Quite interesting!

Mrs B is so funny she makes my day with the things she comes out with Lol

I love how useful Barry is he's taught me a lot

I cut corn off the cob that way by standing it up on a cutting board. It's easy to pick up on the broad side of the knife.

I'm most amazed by the jar of hotdogs

Love watching you pair work together its always a laugh keep up the good work

Love the potato flower and the corn hack. Maybe hot glue the bottle top to the bag then zip the bag closed. Also cut more off the top so it’s flat. Keep this videos coming. Love them

About the rice bag thing. The two sources of plastic have different thicknesses. The bottle wont get to melting point before the bag burns and gets holes in it.

I used to work in a restaurant in the whitsundays and thats how the chefs would crack the eggs for the buffet breakfasts every morning and we never had any complaints of shell in the eggs

That was such good fun. You two are hilarious!

The avocado hack was brilliant. I’m going to use that all the time in future. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Mrs. B. The avacado hack is genius. I know you found it but thanks much for sharing. I use it now on all my avacados! ❤

Even IF there was no egshell left in the pan, the yolks and whites have still touched the OUTSIDE of the egg, which is the general problem with getting eggshell into your food.

On the corn, if you cooked and just push the corn down through the funnel, it will shuck the entire cob at once. Put a bowl under the bunt pan.

you guys are hilarious together. needed my Barcky (or Beckrry) fix!!! ^_^

Love you guys, you make my day x

I would toast those stick dogs in the pan for a bit, then do the cheese thing.

I'd take the potato, after cutting with the apple corer, and wrap it in foil, bake it, then open for a perfect baked potato with sour cream and bacon bits.... 😋

Omg, I couldn’t stop laughing, Mrs B is hilarious, gotta love her.

great hacks Barry ill definitely be doing every one of these

For the one with bottle top all you need to do is bring a bit of the wrapper through the hole and then trap it as you're screwing the lid on

Sprinkle the potato wedges lightly with powdered Ranch Dressing mix before baking.

And for the hotdogs and bread you should have used a hard cheese that turns crispy when pan fried, that may have been an improvement.

Mrs B - “That’s quite a successful video for you” Barry - “That’s quite a successful video for youi” 😂 Maybe they’ve been stuck together in the house for too long 😂

That rice bag hack reminds me of the coffee bag clip I 3d printed. Came with a screw on cap, just pour out the coffee. The plastic and lighter trick only works on thermoplastics closer to MDPE plastics, which shrink wrap is made out of, rather than LDPE that most packages of that nature are made out of. It can shrink, but it's way too easy to go over with the method used

Mrs B is cool! You are a good team, and Hannah and Chloe are great, it's nice to see you encouraging them to try food and help you. 👍🙂 I've really enjoyed what I've seen so far, not sure about these hacks though. A toaster is just for toast. I'm a toast freak. Thanks for making me laugh so much. Do you think you could do some meat alternatives meals? Not just the usual things, & not mimic beef burgers etc.. I mean try and find natural foods that can replace meat? Also how about taste testing shop cereal , bread, etc verses branded? Best wishes🤔🤭😏
