Barry - ‘Can I ask what temperature it gets up to?!’
Mike - ‘You can…..’
Barry - 👁👄👁
😂

I actually got my grandmother an electric jar opener.

At first, she was annoyed because she said she never ate anything that came in jars and she wouldn’t have any use for it.

Turns out she wasn’t able to open jars so she just didn’t buy anything that came in one. Two years later she now uses it on a daily basis!

[Azeria]

An entire tin of beans is 2 minutes in the microwave…

[TheEvilKails]

Can we please get Ben to do an “easy bake oven” episode?! Do they have them in the UK?
Maybe even some retro ones vs modern ones!

[anubislover]

That jar opener was actually surprisingly really good! Always nice to see a device that's supposed to help people with dexterity issues actually do its job properly and not make things harder.

“What if people don’t have a hob.”

Then they should be spending their money on a hot plate so that they actually have a hob. Not an overpriced toaster.

You could almost rename this series "How to Make Chefs Angry"

[CaliseSellers]

The satisfaction four men took at seeing a baby food jar open was great to behold 😂 You can tell that Jamie and Barry have *seen things*

[EiP_]

I can absolutely imagine Jamie having the pizza oven on his desk next to the churros maker

[squidge]

that jar opener was so good I got jealous when I bought my mum with arthritis one and bought a second one for myself just for the ease and fun of it!

[carveylover]

Mike was in full troll mode this episode. Full troll.

The utter glee when he saw how annoyed Ben was by his gadgets. Devilish.

[noneofyourbusiness]

I never thought I'd see four adult men cheering a jar of baby food being opened. That being said, I will definitely look into buying that opener.

[jessedubois]

There's something delightful about watching Ben try to cook a pizza in what is essentially an adult Easy-Bake oven.

[j.d.]

I really love that they talked about what something like a Jar Opener is actually for and judged it for that rather than from an abled-body perspective. They & the jar opener did a fantastic job!

[Anna_TravelsByRail]

Mike: “I have the perfect way to get you out of bed.”

Not me thinking about a bed that launches someone into the shower. 😂

[samanthalawson]

‘Effortless, mesmerising, and fun to watch’ I really hope Ben can get out more soon 😂

[allimac]

Ben figuring out "righty tighty, lefty loosey" has the same energy as when Barry learnt "Break-fast!"

[InkyPetrel]

Thank you for not being ableist with the jar opener. I was waiting for jokes about how it complicated a "simple" task. Appreciate so much that you take disabled folks into consideration.

[feuilletoniste]

Vacuum sealing reusable bags and containers is a huge improvement on yet more single-use plastic that is the norm with other vacuum sealing sets! Also, I appreciate that these days when you review gadgets, you are more aware of the benefits that they can have for people with various impairments or disabilities. I might look into the jar unscrewer for my mum!

[llamasandanime]

In my head canon, this episode was James's final straw. They asked him to review the beans on toast maker and he quit to avoid subjecting himself to the stupidity. XD
