I think wearing plastic bottles as frying armour might take the crown for worst hack ever? More kitchen hacks on this playlist https://www.youtube.com/show/VLPLfxeO2VHmPFU?sbp=QAE%3D

Barry, you have already tried the sauce pan lid one out on another hacks video. I watched it the other day. :)

Imagine pairing up the saucepan lid and the plastic bottle fork arm protectors as some weird halloween costume 😂

For two people who have been together for so long, you look like you have so much fun and its so lovely to see.

We all know what Barry’s like with his lack of Physics understanding. But was he never in a playground in the 90s on one of those spinning contraptions that flung you off if you went too fast ?!

You were the sauce Barry ! 😂

„Barry Fork-Hands“, great idea for a Halloween costume

Put the stuck bowls inside the hood and wear them for a day. I have no idea if that would separate them - but we would have so much fun watching you 😂❤

cuts to cutting bottle and trying the hack

the egg tapping one has been super useful when you’re doing a soft boil where it’s harder to peel. for me anyway!

For the first hack, somebody probably already gave you this one already, but young me used to simply put swimming goggle or a swimming mask for that purpose. Worked like a charm, maybe even more with the mask since the onion did not reach your nose with it

Ketchup hack.

The onion cutting hack. covering your face with the pot cover.... just use swimming goggles. great video Barry.. always love your vibe.

The easiest way to peel hard-boiled eggs is by cooking them on high pressure for 5 min in the instant pot. Then just put them in ice water for 5 min, as you normally would. It's never failed!
