>> Peeling garlic is a mess.

Look at thi-- ugh! Disgusting!

My hands are gonna smell for

days.

[ Glass shatters ]

That's why I'm excited to

introduce you to a brand-new

product that'll peel garlic in

seconds -- two bowls.

Now just take the bottom one of

the bowls, take an entire head

of garlic, and smash it.

Boom!

You pull all of that into one

bowl, you cover it, and you

shake the ever-lovin' crap out

of it.

[ Rattling ]

10 seconds later, you got

beautiful peeled garlic.

[ Blows ]

But the best part is two bowls

is absolutely free.

Go check your kitchen.

You already have two bowls.

And if you call in the next

20 minutes, we'll be like,

"why are you calling us?

Just go use two bowls."

>> Tonight...

Ohh!

>> ...on "hack my life"...

Ohh! Ohh!

>> Sorry about that.

>> ...rethink everything you

know about your kitchen.

>> Whoa.

>> We've got cooking hacks to

fool grandma...

>> Dishwasher lasagna?

>> ...and hacks to avoid doing

dishes.

Yep. I'd eat all 16 of these.

>> Plus learn how to fold like a

pro...

>> I'd like to introduce you to

creased lightning.

>> [ Laughs ]

>> ...along with some tricks to

help you survive a hookup.

>> This...

>> Mnh.

>> [ Spits ]

...is "hack my life."

Understudy?

It's...the dishwasher.

>> Oh! It's so majestic!

Yes, my friends.

The low heat and the moist air

are the perfect setting for

cooking veggies, fish, even

lasagna.

>> Okay, that sounds like a

really cool party trick, kev.

>> Because it is.

>> Okay.

Out and decide if dishwasher

lasagna is hack or wack.

Traditional lasagna that cooks

in the oven.

>> All right.

And I'm gonna make a traditional

lasagna with some aluminum foil

and a dishwasher.

>> Mm. That's wonderful.

Both Kevin and I will be

preparing our lasagnas with the

same ingredients -- oven-ready

pasta, browned beef, ricotta

cheese, and the finest canned

tomato sauce.

>> I'm on a very critical step.

Got to get the seal extra tight,

or else your dishwasher is going

to ruin everything.

It's going to cook, but the oven

will give this a crunchy, brown

sort of, you know, delicious

top.

Gonna give me steamed

perfection.

Look at this care package here.

[ Italian accent ] "Oh, mama!

You made me lasagna!"

>> All right.

Well, I'm gonna put mine in an

oven, just like regular people

like to make it...

>> [ Normal voice ] Sure.

>> ...at a temperature of

375 degrees.

>> Mm-hmm. So predictable.

I am going to plop mine in a

dishwasher.

>> Yes.

>> Now, the average temperature

of a dishwasher --

it's 120 degrees fahrenheit.

Yeah. That means we're gonna be

here for two hours.

Whew! That was a quick two

hours, wasn't it?

>> Yeah.

>> Look. We got two great meals

sitting here now.

>> We do, we do, but who's gonna

eat 'em?

Have they been here the whole

time?

>> I thought I heard breathing.

>> We're 100% Italian.

We eat Italian food probably

five times a week.

>> You hungry for lasagna?

>> Absolutely.

>> Yes.

>> How 'bout lasagna cooked in a

dishwasher?

>> No.

>> Dishwasher lasagna?

>> This is an old family recipe.

>> Oh, yeah?

How old was the family?

>> They didn't last long,

actually.

I want my dishwasher lasagna to

have the best shot of winning

you over, so if you don't mind

putting on the blindfolds that

we have at the table...

>> Yes.

>> Oh, this is weird.

>> Okay.

While you guys are blindfolded,

I'm just gonna go ahead and peel

this -- ohhh, delicious!

>> Uh-oh.

>> Oh, my god.

>> This looks great and fully

cooked!

Here comes your first lasagna.

>> You said, "not bad"?

That sounds like a resounding

endorsement.

>> I don't know if it's

dishwasher lasagna, but it's

really, really good.

>> Yeah. I like it.

And don't you kids dare say that

this is better than grandma's.

>> [ Laughs ]

Here's lasagna number 2.

>> You know, this is very good.

>> Yeah? Would you send your

compliments to the chef on this

one?

>> I-I would.

>> Oh!

>> This is just as good as the

first, so...

>> Are you guys confused as to

what has been cooked in an oven

and what's been cooked in a

dishwasher?

>> I really wouldn't know the

difference.

>> The only thing is I need a

seeing-eye dog when I'm eating.

>> [ Laughs ]

>> Take the blindfolds off.

>> All right, salanitris.

You're not gonna believe it, but

the first plate, the green

one -- that was the oven

lasagna.

The second one, this plate here,

is...

>> Dishwasher lasagna.

>> ...dishwasher lasagna.

>> That's impressive.

>> I liked [laughing] both of

them.

>> Okay, guys.

So, we have to ask you the big

question.

Wack?

>> Absolutely hack.

>> I think it's hack because

they both taste the same to me.

>> Definitely a hack.

>> I would definitely make this

and serve it.

>> Hack.

>> It's definitely hack.

>> Hack.

>> The hacks have it -- 7-0!

>> This is hack history.

>> We should hop in to confirm.

>> Okay.

Yeah. I'd eat a lot of that.

so useful, it ascends into the

pantheon of great hacking tools.

Today we celebrate one that's

truly become a hack all-star --

the disposable diaper.

Move over, babies.

Holding your poop is only one of

the many functions of a

disposable diaper.

We're taking them back, because

not everything is about you.

If you rushed out the door

without putting antiperspirant,

just give those stinky pits a

swipe with a diaper.

They'll absorb excess moisture

and leave you smelling baby

fresh.

>> Need a makeshift ice pack?

Dump ice cubes into a diaper,

tape it up, and put it into a

plastic baggie.

The superabsorbent diaper will

create a gel pack for your

cooling comfort.

>> All-star.

>> Planning a move?

Well, a diaper can cushion your

glassware as if it were a baby's

tender butt.

>> All-star.

>> Keep forgetting to water your

plants?

Mix the water-absorbing crystals

from a diaper into your potting

soil to create a superabsorbent

hydrosoil!

>> All-star.

>> Need to fireproof something?

Cool.

Mix those same magic diaper

crystals with water.

Apply gel, and the flames will

be powerless.

Take margo, for instance.

She slept over at some dude's

house last night, and now she's

late for work.

But fear not, citizen, because

she's a hack hero!

With her new friend out cold,

margo Springs into action,

quickly taming her hair with a

dryer sheet.

Take that, bed head!

Next, margo takes on last

night's smells.

Never one to waste good liquor,

margo freshens up her top with

vodka!

It contains the same ethyl

alcohol found in commercial

deodorizers but without the

added chemicals.

Mmm! Smells like last night.

The rest of margo's not smelling

so great, either.

>> Ugh!

>> Margo takes a pass on his

deodorant and uses a secret

weapon.

Grandma taught her that a lemon

can work instead.

[ Ting! ]

Oh, Nana.

Too bad it can't mask the smell

of regret.

Margo doesn't kiss and tell, and

neither should her clothes.

To avoid a walk of shame in

yesterday's outfit, margo hacks

herself a new one, tying his

shirt into a ladies' skirt.

Sure, margo.

No one's ever gonna know the

difference.

With just minutes to spare, she

completes her look with an

Audrey hepburn-inspired bun that

she creates with the help of an

old sock!

>> Ooh!

[ Whoosh! Splat! ]

[ Twinkle! ]

Since the dawn of time, man has

struggled with laundry.

Well, luckily, I've got a few

folding hacks that'll make quick

work of this age-old task.

The question is, which technique

reigns supreme?

In this hack vs. Hack.

[ Bell dings,

cheers and applause ]

In today's hack vs. Hack, we are

going to settle a family folding

feud.

Please welcome Amber and Dov.

How long you guys been together?

>> A little over three years.

>> Three years now?

>> Yeah.

Real issue for you.

>> It is.

Well, we're competitive

generally.

I'd like to introduce you to

creased lightning.

>> [ Laughs ]

Amazing!

How exactly does one make their

own creased lightning folding

board?

>> So, you take a folded shirt,

and you cut out a piece of

cardboard at the size of that

shirt, and then you cut out five

more of them so you have six.

I like duct tape to stick them

together, and the key is the

bottom three have to flap in the

wind.

>> So, what is the actual

technique?

>> You lay out the shirt --

right? -- Facedown.

We flip this over.

>> Okay. That's one.

>> We flip this over.

>> That's two.

>> Then, finally...

>> Oh.

>> ...there we go.

>> Go, go, creased lighting.

He's -- okay.

Amber is very unimpressed.

You know what I mean?

>> Oh. Oh.

>> Draw an imaginary line across

the middle of the shirt and

another down the side.

Pinch the point where the two

lines meet and, with the other

hand, pinch the top corner.

Fold the shirt down, then lift

and pull.

And there we go.

>> Ooh. Also very quick.

All right.

Let's get to the folding.

Okay. Here's how this

hack vs. Hack challenge is going

down.

We're putting one minute on the

clock, and whoever folds the

most t-shirts before time

expires is our winner.

Remember, neatness counts.

In 3...2...Fold!

And creased lightning is going!

Creased lighting is going!

Pinch-and-pull coming right

back.

They're on to their second

shirt.

Amber's got hers down right

away.

Ooh, that fold did not come out.

We got to refold.

We got to refold.

>> Don't get stuck.

>> Oh, no.

>> Are you taunting me?

>> Really heated here.

It's 3-3.

It's all knotted up.

It's anyone's game, guys.

Uh-oh.

Dov with a little fumble.

That's gonna cost you precious

milliseconds, Dov.

What are you doing?!

who's gonna put it on the pile?!

I mean, oh, my god!

Six shirts each.

But I think it's gonna come down

to cleanliness at this point --

who had the neatest folds.

Hmm.

>> It's a softer fold.

>> Guys, please.

I'm gonna need -- focus.

[ Sighs ]

All right.

I think it's clear that both

hacks are extremely effective,

but, in the end, based off

neatness, Amber, I'm sorry --

I got to give it to

creased lightning, Dov.

how to make a breakfast bacon

bowl.

All you need to get started is

some bacon...

And a muffin tin.

Come to mama.

Ouch!

Take some of this lovely bacon

in pieces about this big.

You're gonna line a muffin tin

like so to kind of create a

Next you're gonna take an egg,

and I crack it right on the

counter 'cause I'm an

"eggs-pert."

And break into -- ooh! -- Your

bacon.

I love this so very much.

To 350 degrees, and you want to

let it cook for 15 minutes or

until you see the egg whites

become firm.

And this is gonna be your

finished product, which is a

bacon bowl that you eat!

Mmm!

Yep. I'd eat all 16 of these.

>> To make am omelet, sometimes

you got to crack a few eggs, but

why crack 'em when you can

massacre 'em?

I'm here with Jason poel Smith,

and we're gonna make

breakfast...

The hack master way.

How did you get into hacking,

Jason?

>> Pretty much, it was a rule in

my house.

Anytime something's broken, give

it to Jason, because if it's

already broken...

>> ...exactly.

>> My parents had that same

mentality with their

relationship.

I was, uh, unable to fix that

one.

>> Okay. So, today we're making

an omelet, so we've got some

eggs.

Get your cordless drill...

>> Sure.

>> ...and get any of the kitchen

attachments that you want.

You can use a whisk.

>> Okay. Speculum.

>> Whatever this is.

>> Yeah.

>> And then you insert your

attachment.

>> Amazing!

That is a lot faster and a lot

cooler than the traditional fork

method.

>> Okay.

So, the next part is we're gonna

add some seasoning to it.

So, you could manually --

>> oh, that hurt me!

That looks so boring.

>> That's boring.

So, what you do is you take off

the nut on the end of it.

Then you attach the power drill

to your pepper mill.

Got to warn me about that!

I was -- my p.T.S.D. Kicked in!

And that's excessive pepper.

I like a 4,000-to-1

pepper-to-egg ratio in my

omelet, so this is perfect.

Mmm.

>> That is a big omelet.

>> Mostly pepper, actually.

Perfect.

>> Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Jason, the omelet is cooking,

but this bowl is disgusting.

Tell me you have a hack for

this.

>> I do.

What you need for this is a

large office-binder clamp.

So, you start by drilling a

1/4-inch hole in the binder

clamp.

You stick your 1/4-inch bolt

into the hole and tighten

everything down with a 1/4-inch

nut.

Take your sponge and stick it

into the binder clamp.

Insert it into your drill, and

then you've got a scrubbing

attachment for your drill.

>> Right.

>> And then you can just take it

and...

Make a huge mess, and then same

thing for the countertop.

>> Oh, perfect. Yep. Yeah.

That's great, man.

Jason, you've made a believer

out of me.

Clearly, you're a master hacker.

Thank you so much.

>> All right.

>> And look at that!

The omelet is ready!

>> Yeah. That looks great!

>> Doesn't it look really good?
