Testing 5 more Amazon kitchen gadgets.

Chainmail, spikes and mozzarella-filled meatballs!
Some surprisingly good. Some… not.

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

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.

Finally tried that Jiffy Pop from Scream and it’s honestly more fun than normal popcorn. Also recreated the Big Kahuna Burger, blue milk and Elf spaghetti in the same video. It’s up here if you want to see how they turned out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=21Gl...

Β£9 vs Β£30 Chocolate Cake: Can You Taste the Difference?
YouTube video by Barry Lewis Β£9 vs Β£30 Chocolate Cake: Can You Taste the Difference?

Made the same chocolate cake twice.
One cost Β£9.
One cost Β£23.

Cheap vs Steep is back and the till receipts were painful.

I tested a Β£100 β€œsmart” 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!

Scrambled eggs feel like the one thing you can’t overthink.
I tested five celebrity chefs’ versions and they all disagree.

YouTube video by Barry Lewis I Tested the World’s Most Overpriced Rice Cooker

Is a Β£500 rice cooker actually better than a Β£30 one?

At 2am I tested them side by side, from white rice to lentils, porridge and steaming, to see what you really get for the money....

Testing Chefs Unconventional Tips

I’ve been testing chefs’ cooking tips to see if they actually make a difference at home.
Some worked brilliantly, some were very niche.

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

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 13Β½ hours of trial, error, and improvised solutions, I was oddly proud of it.

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

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.

Turning YOUR Ideas Into Ice Cream!
YouTube video by Barry Lewis Turning YOUR Ideas Into Ice Cream!

I turned six viewer-suggested Ninja Creami flavours into actual ice creams. Soup worked way better than it should have, pizza was a disaster, and one flavour nearly jammed the blade completely.
