Some worked brilliantly… one needed a bit more finesse.

Can You Cook Dinner in a Dishwasher? YouTube video by Barry Lewis

Cooking food in a dishwasher is something I’ve seen online for years. So I finally got around to trying it myself.

I Made Southern Grits From Scratch (Did I Get It Right?) YouTube video by Barry Lewis

I made Southern grits from scratch… including milling the corn myself. Plain, cheesy, then bacon & shrimp. I did not expect that final version to be that good.

I tested a £100 “smart” toaster with six different modes including bagel (or bagle!), waffle and defrost. It can produce different shades of toast… but it also seems to ignore its own rules!

The Gummy Bear Cheeseburger No One Asked For YouTube video by Barry Lewis

I tried turning a cheeseburger into a giant gummy bear using a custom mould. It didn’t quite end up looking like a gummy bear, but after nearly 13½ hours of trial, error, and improvised solutions, I was oddly proud of it.

I Tried 4 VIRAL TikTok Recipes So You Don't Waste Your Time YouTube video by Barry Lewis

Every so often I get sent a pile of viral kitchen recipes, so I bundle a few together and test them properly.
This time it’s deep fried pickles, the viral egg fry debate, masher turtles, and a hot toddy that went downhill. Some worked far better than expected.

I spent a day cooking only from the freezer — four full courses made entirely from frozen ingredients. It turned out a lot better than I expected.... mostly!
