Kush's face at 10:56 has convinced me that we need a Kush cam for all future 'Pass it Ons', so we can see him reacting to the sheer chaos in the kitchen.
I actually had a lovely seafood soup this summer served like that. It does feel pretentious and it was a bit on the pricy side (the restaurant, touristy, on a pier) but I did enjoy it and it was delicious. Still, I think we are using plates rather than mason jars when eating for a reason. Even if I do tend to have soup in a bowl at home.
@@SortedFood Oh awkward. I read that a dig, but maybe it wasn't. I thought it meant that even after years of experiencing pass it on there are still failing performances like this as if it were the first chapter and you haven't had all this experience 😬. Hopefully it's positive like you guys read it haha
Speaking of first chapters, the sorted crew should take some of their pass it on fails. Then redo those fails using the same ingredients, time and order of cooks, and see if they improve on their end results.
@@aarond9563 thats what it ment. but doesnt automaticly mean in a mean way. you can make fun of people in a endearing way. and thats how i understood it. But maybe cause i am irish, i think its normal to give backhand compliments and actually mean them in a nice way.
To be fair, what could he do when Barry was just tossing a bunch of meat into a pan and then left? To me this was the point where this was all set up to fail.
Suggestion for another time based Pass It On: Let the guys spin a wheel for the amount of time they will have (for example values between 5 and 20 minutes). Do it at the start of their turns so nobody (till the last person) has any idea how much time in total they will have.
Ben seemed to think the others had let him down. I think he let them down by just making sure his little bit on the side went OK rather than setting the groundwork for the others.
Agreed. Imagine how boring this format would be if everyone played it like he did? "Just make the simplest dish you can complete 100% on your own inside 10 minutes"
You know what I think Pass It On needs, especially on outcomes like this? A second look at what was attempted, and attempts to make the dish into something successful - a follow up episode
I would love to see several of the failed Pass It On's revisited, with Ben and Kush or even the normals with the benefit of thinking time showing what could've been done from a certain point. For instance, in the desserts challenge Barry's cookies could've been layered into a jar with something creamy to turn cookies into a dessert. The burger could've been fixed by simply not adding fresh pineapple, but I'm sure further improvements were possible. I would similarly love to see a rescue the dish challenge. Give them various disasters, ranging from cream split due to added acid to over salted food to random ingredients stewing together and see how each of them rescue the food to save waste.
I think Mike did a great job! There was no huttlestorm. He cooked things, finished things, and figured out what to do with what he'd been left, they plated it. I don't think we've ever seen him look so calm and in control! I think he deserved a 7 or 8, not a 2 or 3.
Also going last in a hidden timer challenge is the hardest. You don't want to plate too early and don't want to spend too much time adding things. Used his time very wisely.
@@TappedWalnut more the fact that alls he did in his time was cut up fruit and veg and blend them, not exactly the bar for how to use 10 mins in the kitchen.
Agreed Mike had it the hardest because he had to clean up Jamie messed which was horrific. Then he had to save the dish and present a final dish without knowing the time.
Ben is the only chef in a cooking challenge; doesn't cook knowing full well how all the others operate, admits he wasn't much of a team player. Still rates himself 7.5/10. 😂
I think you are too harsh on yourselfes. For me, this looked liked a good dinner. The 3 cold soups looked wonderful, and the meaty / dim sum / strange mixed up dish is a bit confusing, but also sounds fine for me, especially with the grilled aspargus. I will make some watermelon based cold soup tonight, and also the classical gazpacho, which is one of my favorite summer dishes. Thank you Pedro Almodovar and your wonderful movie "Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios".
The boys have progressed so much. In the beginning of Pass It On it was a pass if it was edible. Now they’re voting fail because it wasn’t a cohesive dish. They’ve come so far.
Can't help but feel like the normals were left to fend for themselves while Ben wrote a love letter to chilled soups! At least the normals tried to work together!
From the moment Jamie rubbed his hands in butter to try and make his wontons and the look from kush until the very end I was in an absolute fit of giggles. I love this series.
Overscored (i saw the cheeky smile on the you let me down comment)= Ben. Didn't provide an obvious direction Underscored - Jamie - figured the soups were done AND made a decision on what to do with the sausage mix. Might not have been the best but at least when Mike walked in he had some idea about what Jamie had thought. Massive underscore: Mike. Pulled a good tasting finish dish out of the hat. No Huddlestorm or flapping this time...just got to work.
Ebbers was so happy to not feel the pressure of the clock that he forgot it's a TEAM challenge and went solo, leaving the boys to fend for themselves. He plated the soups in jars which was a very confusing choice, especially since they were cold soups. Instead of making three soups he should have made one, set up the second and pick a direction for the main.
The only reason he didn't feel pressure was because he was doing his own thing and knew that if he screwed up, the normals could pick up the slack. Or in other words, he only felt calm because he wasn't thinking as a team. Which basically left the other 3 a man down to produce a dish, but then also left them with 3 ingredients that don't go together in any obvious way and confused them. And didn't leave them as the standard "if I give you these, you'll know what I mean" but as a "maybe these could inspire you", which to normals trying to figure out what a chef means is not the way to go. And because Barry didn't remove the stuff that confused him and wasted his time, Spaff also got confused. All because Ben put them on the wrong foot to start in a time-limited environment where they don't know the time left. 0/10 for working as a team 8/10 for results Should not have been a 7.5 but a 4.... Though I do understand that when Ben wasn't thinking as a team that he forgets it's a team challenge and only looks at the results.
All Ben did was blend compatible stuff together. He had SOOO much time, but talked it all just to blend the 2 soups within 30 seconds at the end. He didn't try to make a cohesive dish with the rest as the first person going should.
While Ebbers did technically make the most cohesive contribution to the run, I think its also safe to say that the lack of action as the first member cost them greatly. If he was the third to cook and the other boys already had a good start and all he felt he needed to add was some cold soups it totally would have made sense, but as the lead cook in this type of format I think it started them on the wrong foot.
Yeah. I totally get his line of thinking (can't time what you're cooking, so gravitate toward dishes that don't require much actual cooking), but it definitely reminded me of the meringue challenge the normals did where Jamie went first, made the meringue, and let the other guys just fend for themselves in the aftermath.
Honestly Ben biggest problem is that he assumes the other 3 will be good on their own without his help. So he decides to do his own thing and look at what happens. However I will say that things will have still been fine. Barry did a good job creating a base and cooking. Then Jamie came in and basically Spaff it!
Ebbers was so happy to not have the clock that he did two things wrong: 1. Concentrated on the soups instead of making one and setting up another then picking a direction for the main. 2. Put the soups in jars which confused the boys - because it gives "dips" not "soups".
I’ve always said this, once you have finished cooking, there should be a green room type area for them to watch the rest… I want to see a small box of Ben freaking out while Jamie yells “I know! I’ll make sausage rolls!” Or just release footage of them rewatching the entire thing over again with commentary… also a Kush cam is a must. His face in this video proves that we need a round the clock go pro shot of his face anytime cooking is happening 😂😂
Agree on the fail, disagree greatly on Ben's comments that the boys let him down. Ben played a selfish game, chucked a heap of stuff in a blender, used a premade soup and left no direction or progress toward anything else for the rest to go on with. Which is the role of the first person.
You guys may not miss Pass It On, but we love them! It’s great to watch cooks and chefs who typically make fabulous food, make mistakes and flap around and sometimes even fix mistakes. It’s hilarious for us to watch to guy be human, but those of us who are aspiring cooks can learn a few things too. You guys are awesome!! ❤❤
12:30 Mike saying "can we cook some asparagus in time? Yeah, maybe, screw it." Is just the most peak relatable normal energy I have heard in a while. Gave me a good laugh.
So, Ben made 3 cold soups, plated them like dips and left them on the bench next to fish & meat (providing Barry with neither a direction to follow nor an open slate). Then at the end he blames the others for the plate of uninspired, directionless, confusing food!? Nah Ben, i think this one's on you mate! 😂 And good on Mike for getting on and getting stuff done without hesitation! He deserved more than a 3! 👍🏻
He does have a tendency to just do whatever with very little regard to what people before him or after him do. Consistently not a great team player in this type of challenge, regardless of which position he has. I would like it a lot more if he actually tried to just start a dish or continue an existing dish. Doing his own thing from start to finish just feels like a cop out and it leaves the rest with 10 min less time to do the actual fun dish together.
@@TheSongwritingCat Ben going first isn't the problem here (though I agree it's best if he doesn't. I think with a single chef you want them second to last?) the main problem here is that what he made was completely self contained. He didn't set anything up to anyone and he utterly failed at conveying his idea.
In my opinion, Ben overscored himself because he didn't set the team up for success. Instead of a broad theme, he focused on something very specific which didn't give the guys a lot of space to come up with complimentary dishes
Yes for a chef, Ebbers score myself too high for making 2 soups? Which all he did was blend them. Then proceeds to make bread like really? The other 3 could have easily done that. He should have started cooking something especially when he put items to the table. It confused the other 3 whether than help them.
Agreed. That's a trend I've noticed with Ben when he goes first. He's a talented cook, no doubt about that, but he tends pick dishes based of what he feels like doing rather than what dishes would work best for the team. Soup and bread can be considered a complete meal on their own, so not surprised the others struggled to come up with side dishes.
He does it all the time along with being condescending and a bit of a know it all. Need more of the 3 normals cooking by themselves or with Kush. Ben is too uptight, Kush is more relaxed and funny
So… long rant ahead. I’m going to avoid repeating what has been frequently said by other people in the comments. Because I agree. I’ve been thinking about how the ratings each person gives themself is primarily emotionally driven and can be such an easy misrepresentation of how they actually did. Here’s my pitch for a rubric: -Did they follow the challenge? -Did they contribute well based on their position in the Relay? -Did the food taste good together? Based on those answers, we can get a more solid rubric. To elaborate on Question 2, past Pass It Ons have shown the following pattern of success for what each individual’s function is: 1. First person sets the vision of the dish by providing the outline and then focuses on the first element. (Ex. Cold soups, but fish on a cold hop and some tomatoes nearby in a salad bowl) 2. Focuses on finishing the first dish and completing the second major element of the dish, adding their own style to the contribution. 3. Brings the second and third elements to completion, and sets up the last cook. 4. Adds garnish, maybe a nice bevy, cleans up the mess only if necessary, and puts together the final plate(s). Considering those things, here is my opinion on the ratings this go around: Ben=4 set up first dish which tasted good, but failed to communicate a clear vision of what should go next. Barry=6 did a lot of good cooking to set up, but struggled without a clear vision and failed to create one on the fly. Jaime=4 ran out of time (failing the prompt), but did put together something unique. The only real failure he ran into was he tried putting something together that demanded more time than he had. Mike=8 utilized his time well, finished and plated a balanced dish, and made it an edible experience. Ultimately, he fulfilled his role and others, even though he felt he had flubbed it. They all acknowledged that both dishes tasted good. That makes it a normal pass. They gave it a fail because they are starting to hold themselves to a higher standard. I agree it’s not a Chef Pass, but they have still come a long way in 6 years if that is what they are getting hung up on.
I actually laughed out loud when Jamie slathered his hands with butter - absolutely LOVE Pass It On! (I'm disappointed the boys don't love it as much as we do, but can understand their points of view...)
@@SortedFoodYes exactly! I was complaining at the screen about how they all needed to taste it and not presume to know what it is. Lol There were so many ingredients that could have made deliciously fresh and vibrant dishes to go with those soups. The normals definitely missed the mark on this one
Ben - wonderful british produce, let's make soup! Barry - alright we're going Italian, as a Ragu! Jamie - Ah i see, we're making Wontons! Mike - BROWN!!!
Judging by the past few pass it on's, "Make one singular cohesive dish" might be an incredibly hard but really entertaining challenge. Would love to see that!
This was a really baffling episode to me. Ben said it was super relaxing, but he went first, meaning he didn't have to react to anyone else's chaos. Plus, all he did was slice up some veg/fruit, and whizz it up. With what he was doing, I don't think he even intended to finish what he started, and blend the soups, so that would have been even more confusing for the next person. He didn't cook anything, so yeah, of course it felt relaxing. Then he brought over a confusing blend of ingredients, with no direction set out. Barry started a decent idea, but left lingering ingredients that didn't contribute to his own vision, instead of anything that would get Jamie towards that idea. Jamie spaffed it a bit, but I can't really blame him, and Mike finished what was there, adding some freshness. The end result was a trio of cold soups, and an odd final dish that they all really liked, including Jamie's wontons. Normally, that'd be a sufficient pass, but they all thought it was subpar because they didn't know what they had made at the end? I think the no timer thing threw them so much, they didn't even judge the end result like they normally would.
Ben. Ben. How often have we done this. The first person in pass it on NEEDS to give direction to the dish. Mike actually saved the dish in the end by doing the best he could. Barry and Jamie… no words
What they should've done, make the group use one collective 40 minute timer, don't tell them how long they have but they're required to make sure each person at least gets to cook. If not, everybody gets to cook when the time runs out, they fail. The reason I think this idea is good. It's because that way Jamie might end up cooking for five minutes and calling Mike into the kitchen, then cook for 15 minutes, then he calls into the kitchen, who cooks for what he thinks is the remainder of his time, and then he passes to Barry who gets whatever is left, could be five minutes could be 20 minutes. All depends on how much time the other boys use.
Or...everyone gets 10mins as their base time. Except each person has a separate "gotcha", where when they do 'the thing*', they get one more minute and then get buzzed out (and aren't told what 'the thing' is). The next person gets their remaining time plus another 10 minutes. For example: Ben could be punished for explictly saying he's basically making a dish on his own and letting the others make their own stuff. Jamie could be punished for spending over two minutes tasting stuff before doing anything (possibly resulting in a very quick turn...), etc. If the last person does their own gotcha, they are explicitly told they have two minutes remaining to plate up and must turn off all appliances (and cannot open any more bottles/jars/etc to prevent them making something cold quickly).
I like the idea that they don't know how much time they collectively have left but need to include everyone, but also everybody gets a 'Pause, I'm coming in for 5 minutes' lifeline and that they need to use before the end but have no idea who they are pausing, and the order should be 'Highest dice roll and the previous cook chooses who goes next'. It's maximum chaos brought about by the 'most control' and 'least information' they could possibly have. The ideal situation is more than 1 person pausing each other to finish their element, creating a 'kitchen inception'. If they play it safe, at least one of them won't use their 5 minutes so someone remembers to plate! lol
@@XMysticHerox no that is exactly my point xD example insect. do you associate them with great toasty nutty flavour (what they taste like) or not? kids dont like vegetables. is it cause they taste bad?
@@AbigatorM What I took issue with is the "genuinely taste better" bit. If someone prefers soup hot then hot soup genuinely tastes better to them- Of course you should try it and maybe you come to like it eventually.
I didn't think he served leftovers, other than the pea volute. He made 2 original chilled soups. His complaint was the chorizo and smoked paprika AGAIN.
Maybe he should have actually acted as part of a team then....? @pomptonqueen he finished a whole dish in 10 mins and left them absolutely nothing to work with. Didnt wanna cook because of the challenge meaning he has no faith in the normals. Kush would never.
So here's an idea. Pass It On: Grocery Bag Edition - there's the usual grocery bag but the three normals go one after the other for 30 minutes - they're allowed to prep for the ones after, but the first dish must be served at 30 minutes, the second at 60 and the final one at 90. Combining the challenge of each finishing a dish with leaving enough ingredients for the ones to come (and not too much fresh stuff wasted). The struggle to get it done and use enough (but not too much) of the fresh ingredients should make for some fun dilemma's
Even though I can’t hear this music on the whole, please never change the intro as it makes me smile so much. Just knowing that carnage is about to erupt 😂
Taking that lettuce and instead of chopping it, making lettuce wraps with that meat would have lent it a winning twist. Take the filo pastry that was cooked off in the oven, crushing it for some crunchy bits on top of the wraps along with some fresh chives, chopped peanuts, chopped tomato, and maybe some chiffon of basil to enliven it all. Lettuce wraps, cold soup trio, and lemon asparagus would be fantastic.
I absolutely love this format. When I saw Ben going 1st, I thought he'll start actual cooking (like, yk, using hobs...) and will force them down the path thay have to follow (like with the risotto), to ensure they get actually anything done, idk thinking like a chef, thinking about the future steps... meanwhile he's calmly blending vegetables for cold soups 😂 Edit: I watched it till end now and well, as much as I admire Ben, he did set up them for failure by not giving clear directions as a chef and 1st person going in, so he has no ground to complain that this is a fail.
The Try Guys basically did, with "Cooking Telephone" a couple years ago. Don't think they've done one recently, as it involved, uh... the Try Guy we don't speak of anymore... pretty heavily. (I could be wrong and just missed it, of course.)
This was a fantastic format, I think they all did better without having a clock or knowing how much time they had left! I feel like the main reason they failed is because they didn't really have a theme to work with. Ben made those great soups (or dips) but didn't do much to give them a good direction to go with. I'd love to see you guys do this again with them not knowing how much time they have left, but give them a good theme! Order suggestion: How much would they drink when they have a night out? Most to least, by volume! (Doesn't have to be alcoholic, just drinks in general!)
That Kush look oh my good 😆Barry set Jamie up to fail tbh, going 2nd after Ben just made the soups means Sous-Chef Baz needded to clearly set the dish for Jamie to continue, and not just toss a comedy amount of meat for a single dish into a pan lol. At least Jamie tried to be creative, I respect that
Thank you, I thought the same! At least Ben gave some real options, but Barry left way too much meat, some filo and tomatoes 🤦♂ Jamie did the best he could with these "options". I would give Baz and Jamie reverse scores 💁♂
Jamie definitely let everyone down. Barry had some lovely ingredients in the pan, which could have been built on, but Jamie does wontons 🥟🙄 Ben took the easiest and laziest route possible. 😅 Mike tried his best, bless him. Good idea with the greens 🥬
So basically, Ben cut bread, poured an already made soup into a jar and gave himself a 7,5 based on that? What’s next, Ben ordering a take away and waiting for it to arrive as his contribution to the pass it on?
The best parts were Kush's face and when Mike commented that the pastry was served on its own thing inside, lol. Love it. Honestly, all of the last three's efforts making it on a plate was a huge nod to teamwork and the format and that makes it a pass to me since they said it didn't taste bad. Plus not even mad about the chilled soups being separate because I was screaming at Ben at the end to keep going so that he didn't risk the others not knowing how to complete it. As it was, I was nervous about the toast sticks/soldiers getting burned. Also, honestly, many times you stuff something, you wind up eating the extra stuffing anyway, lol.
10:55 I couldn't stop laughing at Kush. I have never seen someone so bewildered in this kitchen, and that's saying a lot considering the usual happenings in the sorted kitchen
Heres a suggestion for you! The boys should give this a go but Janice shouldnt tell them when they're out of time. Tell them they have 40 minutes between themselves and can switch with anyone once they believe their 10 minutes are up. Only the last person finds out how long they have
It'd be interesting to see an all-chef pass it on. Ben, Kush, Poppy, and another guest! Or maybe, Ben, Kush, Poppy, and Barry to see how our sous-chef handles the pressure of following up those three! 😂
Such an awesome episode! Keep up the amazing work team! BTW dream episode is Buzzed/tipsy chefs remote control sober normals. I feel it would create peak chaos and humor especially with Kush and maybe even bringing a guest like Poppy on for it.
When I was younger I used to watch you guys a lot. I think I just slowly grew out of the cooking video realm and eventually stopped. I happened upon your videos again and I forgot how much I loved them. Even though the graphics are a bit better and the photos have been updated, I was smiling ear to ear seeing the negative bar of intelligence, over flowing hunger and weird/ hilarious 'he's the man' that everyone thought you had said yourself Mike still in the pass it on videos. The craziness and energy you bring, and the goofy friendship/ banter between you guys is still so prominent which is so lovely to see. Definitely subscribing to become a part of the sorted food family again
If this was a fail (and I'm not sure it should be, if everything tasted really nice), I blame Ben. He just did his own dish, then left the normals to their own devices. OF COURSE their dish wasn't chef quality. There were no chefs involved. And they had to knock it together in 30 minutes because Ben used his 10 to do his own thing. How many times has he scolded Barry for doing exactly that? As a video, though, it's a total success! We had lots of fun watching it.
Ben starting off with a completed appetizer is hardly the same as pulling a Barry in the middle of one of these. He essentially left 3 people 30 minutes to add something to make a meal out of it and they ended up with an (admittedly tasty) pile of slop. They said they should have done better and they’re right. Entertaining to be sure, but definitely a fail as far as the game goes.
Part of doing pass it on, is each person knows the strength of each of the other cooking styles/habits. The boys assumed dips, no one tasted until Mike. Ben, his brain goes to their core format. good easy cooking, no un-necessary waste. The boys have cooked with him for literally a third their lives. Test anxiety is a *itch.
We need a follow up on failed Pass It Ons. Where the chefs, Ben and Kush, use only the ingredients used during the original Pass It On but make it decent. Like 'Pass It On Revisited' or something along those lines...
How about a "Save the dish" series, where you address all the Pass It On fails, and try to fix them. That also looked like a deconstructed Sang Choi Bau
I’d almost love to see the guys get what everyone ranked themselves as they come into the kitchen. Barry rolling in to hear Ebber’s seven, but imagine coming in to hear the guy before you ranked themselves a three but not *why* and panicking
100% this is a PASS! I think Ben messed it up from the get go, with the not cooking anything, and Mike surely brought it together. If you have a nice edible, enjoyable meal at the end, it's a PASS.😀 Oh, and cold "soups" are dips/sauces.
Cooking....pass it on is making a dish/dishes. Every element or even parts of the serving menu do not require having it heated in any way. The dish or serving menu can be hot or cold. It is up to the person preparing the item/items, hence Absolute Chaos, Big Smiles and much laughter....Thanks sorted : )
I definitely think that was a pass. Perhaps the plating in the end could've been changed up slightly. Put the wontons as another separate side dish. Keep the asparagus as an entree as well. Mix the lettuce with the chorizo mixture as a salad or use the lettuce as a base. It all worked. This felt like a less chaotic pass it on surprisingly.
I’ve only known about these lads for a couple months or so I’m a decent home cook thanks to my mum she is a awesome cook always cleaned as up when cooking I do the same coming up random food with leftovers everyone lve my food when they come round but watching you lads has upped my cooking no end
10:56 THAT, and 11:54, I think that would be a goal to strive towards, to be that consumed by the task, the goal in front of you, that you don't even stop to be conscious of what a chef might think you're doing. They've done it for years, but still, it's such a valuable thing though, it keeps you curious and interested into what might happen if you did something completely different and still had the courage to do something instead of only panicking
Kush's face at 10:56 has convinced me that we need a Kush cam for all future 'Pass it Ons', so we can see him reacting to the sheer chaos in the kitchen.
*raw concern*
Oh yes please!
OMG YES PLEASE!!!
Omfg that sounds brilliant!
Yes, definitely
As soon as the soups went into those containers I'm like "That's supposed make someone think soup?" Cracked me up when the others kept assuming dip.
How can anyone not presume dips when they're presented like that? 😆
@@SortedFood They should have tasted them lol isn't that a rule always taste your food first
I was thinking he made two healthy green veggie smoothies.
Yeah, they weren't giving soup to me either. Too small.

The way Jamie lotioned his hands up with butter is the most Jamie thing I have ever seen.
He probably dries his hand with raw steak, too.
...to make a sausage roll. Just 👌
The fact that he chose butter, usually used to avoid things from sticking, as GLUE.😂❤
And how he plans to use butter, notoriously greasy, as an adhesive, I just don't know.
I read this comment before I saw what he did, and let me just say your description was perfect. It 100 per cent met my expectations.

i looked exactly like Kush. Like wtf is he doing?
@@TheJetiLP I am going to just refer to this as The Great Spaffing of August 2024 from now on.
To be fair, what could he do when Barry was just tossing a bunch of meat into a pan and then left? To me this was the point where this was all set up to fail.
Ben standing there not blending anything he had prepared for so long was giving me anxiety.
I was screaming at the screen!...
Yes, right?
Haha, same
I thought maybe he was trying to leave it for one of the other guys and then realized he still had time left and should be doing something
It was a safe bet, because the normals can understand that an already prepared mix only needs some blitzing. He didn't want to run out of time.
Suggestion for another time based Pass It On: Let the guys spin a wheel for the amount of time they will have (for example values between 5 and 20 minutes). Do it at the start of their turns so nobody (till the last person) has any idea how much time in total they will have.
love this idea
That's diabolical and I love it!
That's a GREAT idea....and an absolute recipe for disaster 😂😂😂
Ohh my darling little chaos butterfly ... I LOVE it

@@SirOshi Case and Point, the time he made them stir risotto for a pass it on. Worst Pass it on
Why are you taking it so seriously? Thats so annoying.
He's really not good at sending them down a path they will understand.
You know what I think Pass It On needs, especially on outcomes like this? A second look at what was attempted, and attempts to make the dish into something successful - a follow up episode
I would love to see several of the failed Pass It On's revisited, with Ben and Kush or even the normals with the benefit of thinking time showing what could've been done from a certain point. For instance, in the desserts challenge Barry's cookies could've been layered into a jar with something creamy to turn cookies into a dessert. The burger could've been fixed by simply not adding fresh pineapple, but I'm sure further improvements were possible.
I would similarly love to see a rescue the dish challenge. Give them various disasters, ranging from cream split due to added acid to over salted food to random ingredients stewing together and see how each of them rescue the food to save waste.
Ooh I love that!
A "Kush fixes" series would be fun
I think Mike did a great job! There was no huttlestorm. He cooked things, finished things, and figured out what to do with what he'd been left, they plated it. I don't think we've ever seen him look so calm and in control! I think he deserved a 7 or 8, not a 2 or 3.
Also going last in a hidden timer challenge is the hardest. You don't want to plate too early and don't want to spend too much time adding things. Used his time very wisely.
Ben: You let me down boys
Ben: *used a blender, twice, in 10 minutes*
And used an already finished dish as-is!
Blender a problem?
Chef's swear by their Vitamix's.
@@TappedWalnut more the fact that alls he did in his time was cut up fruit and veg and blend them, not exactly the bar for how to use 10 mins in the kitchen.
I feel like Mike's efforts are massively underrated in this episode.
I agree! I thought he did very well considering what he was left with.
Agreed Mike had it the hardest because he had to clean up Jamie messed which was horrific. Then he had to save the dish and present a final dish without knowing the time.
So an episode of sorted XD
Mike always underscores himself
Once again proved he should have the sous chef apron
Kush's disgusted face was everything! Sunday is a work day for me. Can't think of a better way to start my day but with a Pass it On!
mike at the end saying: i feel like the chef made a dish, and the normals made a dish
hitting the nail perfectly XD
Ben is the only chef in a cooking challenge; doesn't cook knowing full well how all the others operate, admits he wasn't much of a team player. Still rates himself 7.5/10. 😂
"Relay challenges are all about good communication." Proceeds to use the most chef-y and least soup-y container for soups ever. :P
Yes yes yes, finally another Pass it On ! What a wonderful ending to my weekend. Thank you so much for it.
You're welcome..... enjoy!
I think you are too harsh on yourselfes. For me, this looked liked a good dinner. The 3 cold soups looked wonderful, and the meaty / dim sum / strange mixed up dish is a bit confusing, but also sounds fine for me, especially with the grilled aspargus. I will make some watermelon based cold soup tonight, and also the classical gazpacho, which is one of my favorite summer dishes. Thank you Pedro Almodovar and your wonderful movie "Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios".
The boys have progressed so much. In the beginning of Pass It On it was a pass if it was edible. Now they’re voting fail because it wasn’t a cohesive dish. They’ve come so far.
This is important perspective!
Can't help but feel like the normals were left to fend for themselves while Ben wrote a love letter to chilled soups! At least the normals tried to work together!
YES! I agree. He literally just made his own dishes!! 🤦♀😂
i mean, he let them do their own thing. This way he didn't just start a fish pie and yolo-ed.
Glad others are agreeing. Ben, you over-scored yourself!
@@Oururbanhomestead1966 Or you could mind your business and not comment on people's relationships.
@@Oururbanhomestead1966 wow. dude, way to assume a perosns personal life in a comedy cooking format.
From the moment Jamie rubbed his hands in butter to try and make his wontons and the look from kush until the very end I was in an absolute fit of giggles. I love this series.
I wanted Kush to spray Jamie in the face with a water bottle! Bad, bad Jamie! That's not how you make a wonton!😂
Overscored (i saw the cheeky smile on the you let me down comment)= Ben. Didn't provide an obvious direction
Underscored - Jamie - figured the soups were done AND made a decision on what to do with the sausage mix. Might not have been the best but at least when Mike walked in he had some idea about what Jamie had thought.
Massive underscore: Mike. Pulled a good tasting finish dish out of the hat. No Huddlestorm or flapping this time...just got to work.
Please never change the "where's the dish?" "This should be really obvious!" It's my favorite intro ever.
more relevant than it's been in a while
Ebbers was so happy to not feel the pressure of the clock that he forgot it's a TEAM challenge and went solo, leaving the boys to fend for themselves. He plated the soups in jars which was a very confusing choice, especially since they were cold soups. Instead of making three soups he should have made one, set up the second and pick a direction for the main.
The only reason he didn't feel pressure was because he was doing his own thing and knew that if he screwed up, the normals could pick up the slack.
Or in other words, he only felt calm because he wasn't thinking as a team. Which basically left the other 3 a man down to produce a dish, but then also left them with 3 ingredients that don't go together in any obvious way and confused them.
And didn't leave them as the standard "if I give you these, you'll know what I mean" but as a "maybe these could inspire you", which to normals trying to figure out what a chef means is not the way to go.
And because Barry didn't remove the stuff that confused him and wasted his time, Spaff also got confused. All because Ben put them on the wrong foot to start in a time-limited environment where they don't know the time left.
0/10 for working as a team
8/10 for results
Should not have been a 7.5 but a 4....
Though I do understand that when Ben wasn't thinking as a team that he forgets it's a team challenge and only looks at the results.
All Ben did was blend compatible stuff together. He had SOOO much time, but talked it all just to blend the 2 soups within 30 seconds at the end. He didn't try to make a cohesive dish with the rest as the first person going should.
While Ebbers did technically make the most cohesive contribution to the run, I think its also safe to say that the lack of action as the first member cost them greatly. If he was the third to cook and the other boys already had a good start and all he felt he needed to add was some cold soups it totally would have made sense, but as the lead cook in this type of format I think it started them on the wrong foot.
I agree - the first person needs to start on the things that take the longest to cook. I was surprised Ben didn't really cook anything...
Yeah. I totally get his line of thinking (can't time what you're cooking, so gravitate toward dishes that don't require much actual cooking), but it definitely reminded me of the meringue challenge the normals did where Jamie went first, made the meringue, and let the other guys just fend for themselves in the aftermath.
Honestly Ben biggest problem is that he assumes the other 3 will be good on their own without his help. So he decides to do his own thing and look at what happens.
However I will say that things will have still been fine. Barry did a good job creating a base and cooking. Then Jamie came in and basically Spaff it!
Yeah 100%.
Ben went solo on this one. Leaving the other guys with little chance of success
Ebbers was so happy to not have the clock that he did two things wrong:
1. Concentrated on the soups instead of making one and setting up another then picking a direction for the main.
2. Put the soups in jars which confused the boys - because it gives "dips" not "soups".
Possible twist: Have the self-evaluations be visible for the next cooks.
Ooooh interesting idea!
@@SortedFood It's a great idea, it could make for some high comedy.
That should be a permanent addition! Make them write their score on a whiteboard, and the next person has to erase it to write theirs.
Nono leave them on the board! "Ebbers gave himself a 6? And Jamie 9.5? Oh shitshitshit😂😂"
I’ve always said this, once you have finished cooking, there should be a green room type area for them to watch the rest… I want to see a small box of Ben freaking out while Jamie yells “I know! I’ll make sausage rolls!” Or just release footage of them rewatching the entire thing over again with commentary… also a Kush cam is a must. His face in this video proves that we need a round the clock go pro shot of his face anytime cooking is happening 😂😂
OH Jamie! "This feels like a finished element" IM SO PROUD
Right? I was waiting for one of the normals to dump one of the soups into the pan
Agree on the fail, disagree greatly on Ben's comments that the boys let him down.
Ben played a selfish game, chucked a heap of stuff in a blender, used a premade soup and left no direction or progress toward anything else for the rest to go on with. Which is the role of the first person.
You guys may not miss Pass It On, but we love them! It’s great to watch cooks and chefs who typically make fabulous food, make mistakes and flap around and sometimes even fix mistakes. It’s hilarious for us to watch to guy be human, but those of us who are aspiring cooks can learn a few things too. You guys are awesome!! ❤❤
12:30 Mike saying "can we cook some asparagus in time? Yeah, maybe, screw it." Is just the most peak relatable normal energy I have heard in a while. Gave me a good laugh.
So, Ben made 3 cold soups, plated them like dips and left them on the bench next to fish & meat (providing Barry with neither a direction to follow nor an open slate).
Then at the end he blames the others for the plate of uninspired, directionless, confusing food!?
Nah Ben, i think this one's on you mate! 😂
And good on Mike for getting on and getting stuff done without hesitation! He deserved more than a 3! 👍🏻
Ben going first is never the right move
He does have a tendency to just do whatever with very little regard to what people before him or after him do. Consistently not a great team player in this type of challenge, regardless of which position he has. I would like it a lot more if he actually tried to just start a dish or continue an existing dish. Doing his own thing from start to finish just feels like a cop out and it leaves the rest with 10 min less time to do the actual fun dish together.
@@dfgdhvhfI agree 🤔
He truly did. He gives himself such low scores. We are not chefs. We're normals😮💨
@@TheSongwritingCat Ben going first isn't the problem here (though I agree it's best if he doesn't. I think with a single chef you want them second to last?) the main problem here is that what he made was completely self contained. He didn't set anything up to anyone and he utterly failed at conveying his idea.
Just hearing that music at the beginning of video and hearing James say “Where’s the Dish?” makes me so happy. Don’t ever change the intro!!
What I never understand when Ebbers is on first is what he expects the others to do. He makes finished dishes every time.
In my opinion, Ben overscored himself because he didn't set the team up for success. Instead of a broad theme, he focused on something very specific which didn't give the guys a lot of space to come up with complimentary dishes
Yes for a chef, Ebbers score myself too high for making 2 soups? Which all he did was blend them. Then proceeds to make bread like really? The other 3 could have easily done that.
He should have started cooking something especially when he put items to the table. It confused the other 3 whether than help them.
Yeah he forgot it's a team challenge.
100%. Part of the score has to be how well you set your team up.
Agreed. That's a trend I've noticed with Ben when he goes first. He's a talented cook, no doubt about that, but he tends pick dishes based of what he feels like doing rather than what dishes would work best for the team. Soup and bread can be considered a complete meal on their own, so not surprised the others struggled to come up with side dishes.
He does it all the time along with being condescending and a bit of a know it all. Need more of the 3 normals cooking by themselves or with Kush. Ben is too uptight, Kush is more relaxed and funny
So… long rant ahead. I’m going to avoid repeating what has been frequently said by other people in the comments. Because I agree. I’ve been thinking about how the ratings each person gives themself is primarily emotionally driven and can be such an easy misrepresentation of how they actually did.
Here’s my pitch for a rubric:
-Did they follow the challenge?
-Did they contribute well based on their position in the Relay?
-Did the food taste good together?
Based on those answers, we can get a more solid rubric.
To elaborate on Question 2, past Pass It Ons have shown the following pattern of success for what each individual’s function is:
1. First person sets the vision of the dish by providing the outline and then focuses on the first element. (Ex. Cold soups, but fish on a cold hop and some tomatoes nearby in a salad bowl)
2. Focuses on finishing the first dish and completing the second major element of the dish, adding their own style to the contribution.
3. Brings the second and third elements to completion, and sets up the last cook.
4. Adds garnish, maybe a nice bevy, cleans up the mess only if necessary, and puts together the final plate(s).
Considering those things, here is my opinion on the ratings this go around:
Ben=4 set up first dish which tasted good, but failed to communicate a clear vision of what should go next.
Barry=6 did a lot of good cooking to set up, but struggled without a clear vision and failed to create one on the fly.
Jaime=4 ran out of time (failing the prompt), but did put together something unique. The only real failure he ran into was he tried putting something together that demanded more time than he had.
Mike=8 utilized his time well, finished and plated a balanced dish, and made it an edible experience. Ultimately, he fulfilled his role and others, even though he felt he had flubbed it.
They all acknowledged that both dishes tasted good. That makes it a normal pass. They gave it a fail because they are starting to hold themselves to a higher standard. I agree it’s not a Chef Pass, but they have still come a long way in 6 years if that is what they are getting hung up on.
I actually laughed out loud when Jamie slathered his hands with butter - absolutely LOVE Pass It On!
(I'm disappointed the boys don't love it as much as we do, but can understand their points of view...)
Not gonna lie, ben kinda set them up for failure with this one 😆
I love how everyone thought the soups were Dips. So the next pass it on, everyone needs to make their own dip.
This is a lesson in making sure you taste what the previous person has left 😆
@@SortedFood Nah, there's a lesson that soup bowls are called soup bowls because that's what you're supposed to put your soup in! 😉
@@SortedFoodYes exactly! I was complaining at the screen about how they all needed to taste it and not presume to know what it is. Lol There were so many ingredients that could have made deliciously fresh and vibrant dishes to go with those soups. The normals definitely missed the mark on this one
@@kimmietron5000 They did taste them. No amount of tasting is going to let somebody distinguish between a cold soup and a dip.
Ben - wonderful british produce, let's make soup!
Barry - alright we're going Italian, as a Ragu!
Jamie - Ah i see, we're making Wontons!
Mike - BROWN!!!
Jamie's brief moment of clarity when he correctly finishes Ben's dish... contrasted with him then going full Jamie mode...
Classic ben giving himself the best score for just blending some veg and taking soup out of the fridge
Judging by the past few pass it on's, "Make one singular cohesive dish" might be an incredibly hard but really entertaining challenge. Would love to see that!
This was a really baffling episode to me. Ben said it was super relaxing, but he went first, meaning he didn't have to react to anyone else's chaos. Plus, all he did was slice up some veg/fruit, and whizz it up. With what he was doing, I don't think he even intended to finish what he started, and blend the soups, so that would have been even more confusing for the next person. He didn't cook anything, so yeah, of course it felt relaxing. Then he brought over a confusing blend of ingredients, with no direction set out. Barry started a decent idea, but left lingering ingredients that didn't contribute to his own vision, instead of anything that would get Jamie towards that idea. Jamie spaffed it a bit, but I can't really blame him, and Mike finished what was there, adding some freshness.
The end result was a trio of cold soups, and an odd final dish that they all really liked, including Jamie's wontons. Normally, that'd be a sufficient pass, but they all thought it was subpar because they didn't know what they had made at the end? I think the no timer thing threw them so much, they didn't even judge the end result like they normally would.
Pass it on is my favourite, please do more of these!
Ben. Ben. How often have we done this. The first person in pass it on NEEDS to give direction to the dish. Mike actually saved the dish in the end by doing the best he could.
Barry and Jamie… no words
Choices are bad, it just confuses people when no one knows what they are suppose to do. Never fails. First person always need to set them on a path.
What they should've done, make the group use one collective 40 minute timer, don't tell them how long they have but they're required to make sure each person at least gets to cook. If not, everybody gets to cook when the time runs out, they fail.
The reason I think this idea is good. It's because that way Jamie might end up cooking for five minutes and calling Mike into the kitchen, then cook for 15 minutes, then he calls into the kitchen, who cooks for what he thinks is the remainder of his time, and then he passes to Barry who gets whatever is left, could be five minutes could be 20 minutes. All depends on how much time the other boys use.
You evil genius you I love it
I pitched essentially the same idea a few months ago, so of course you're getting my upvote. Virtual high five!
Or...everyone gets 10mins as their base time. Except each person has a separate "gotcha", where when they do 'the thing*', they get one more minute and then get buzzed out (and aren't told what 'the thing' is). The next person gets their remaining time plus another 10 minutes.
For example: Ben could be punished for explictly saying he's basically making a dish on his own and letting the others make their own stuff. Jamie could be punished for spending over two minutes tasting stuff before doing anything (possibly resulting in a very quick turn...), etc.
If the last person does their own gotcha, they are explicitly told they have two minutes remaining to plate up and must turn off all appliances (and cannot open any more bottles/jars/etc to prevent them making something cold quickly).
I like the idea that they don't know how much time they collectively have left but need to include everyone, but also everybody gets a 'Pause, I'm coming in for 5 minutes' lifeline and that they need to use before the end but have no idea who they are pausing, and the order should be 'Highest dice roll and the previous cook chooses who goes next'. It's maximum chaos brought about by the 'most control' and 'least information' they could possibly have. The ideal situation is more than 1 person pausing each other to finish their element, creating a 'kitchen inception'. If they play it safe, at least one of them won't use their 5 minutes so someone remembers to plate! lol
Every single cold soup I've ever had I would say: "You know, this would be great heated up"
That’s what gets you laughed at at the captains table on a mining ship in space
the question is, do oyu think that cause you are trained to think "soup needs to be hot" or cause it would genuinly taste better hot?.
@@AbigatorM Almost all taste is based on what you are used to and associations with it. So that doesn't make much sense.
@@XMysticHerox no that is exactly my point xD example insect. do you associate them with great toasty nutty flavour (what they taste like) or not?
kids dont like vegetables. is it cause they taste bad?
@@AbigatorM What I took issue with is the "genuinely taste better" bit. If someone prefers soup hot then hot soup genuinely tastes better to them-
Of course you should try it and maybe you come to like it eventually.
This series is still amoung the best thing to watch on the internet!
My very favorite episodes! Love it! More Please!
Ben serving leftovers: "you all let me down"
I didn't think he served leftovers, other than the pea volute. He made 2 original chilled soups. His complaint was the chorizo and smoked paprika AGAIN.
@@pomptonqueen he blitzed up like 8 ingredients and made toast leaving no direction
Maybe he should have actually acted as part of a team then....? @pomptonqueen he finished a whole dish in 10 mins and left them absolutely nothing to work with. Didnt wanna cook because of the challenge meaning he has no faith in the normals. Kush would never.
So here's an idea. Pass It On: Grocery Bag Edition - there's the usual grocery bag but the three normals go one after the other for 30 minutes - they're allowed to prep for the ones after, but the first dish must be served at 30 minutes, the second at 60 and the final one at 90. Combining the challenge of each finishing a dish with leaving enough ingredients for the ones to come (and not too much fresh stuff wasted). The struggle to get it done and use enough (but not too much) of the fresh ingredients should make for some fun dilemma's
That cutaway was priceless.
The look of pure confusion on Kush as Jamie squishes bits of pastry together, was priceless.
The intro to pass it on brings me so much joy! Feels like the great British bake off! Love it
I'm quite sure it's meant to be a gbbo parody!
Aaaaaaah that's so good to hear 💛
I do think Kush deserves a clip or two edited in, though. Just as long as “Where’s the dish?” remains untouched.
Even though I can’t hear this music on the whole, please never change the intro as it makes me smile so much. Just knowing that carnage is about to erupt 😂
Taking that lettuce and instead of chopping it, making lettuce wraps with that meat would have lent it a winning twist. Take the filo pastry that was cooked off in the oven, crushing it for some crunchy bits on top of the wraps along with some fresh chives, chopped peanuts, chopped tomato, and maybe some chiffon of basil to enliven it all. Lettuce wraps, cold soup trio, and lemon asparagus would be fantastic.
That would have been a great solution to this puzzle!
That sounds really nice.
I absolutely love this format.
When I saw Ben going 1st, I thought he'll start actual cooking (like, yk, using hobs...) and will force them down the path thay have to follow (like with the risotto), to ensure they get actually anything done, idk thinking like a chef, thinking about the future steps... meanwhile he's calmly blending vegetables for cold soups 😂
Edit: I watched it till end now and well, as much as I admire Ben, he did set up them for failure by not giving clear directions as a chef and 1st person going in, so he has no ground to complain that this is a fail.
frankly this format is so good im surprised I havent seen TV or another UA-camr steal it
The Try Guys basically did, with "Cooking Telephone" a couple years ago. Don't think they've done one recently, as it involved, uh... the Try Guy we don't speak of anymore... pretty heavily. (I could be wrong and just missed it, of course.)
Pretty sure master chef took a similar format during COVID times so they could separate the people a bit more
Ben : "let's have seasonal soups with fresh ingredients"
Barry : *dumps entire pack of sausage meat in pan*
This was a fantastic format, I think they all did better without having a clock or knowing how much time they had left! I feel like the main reason they failed is because they didn't really have a theme to work with. Ben made those great soups (or dips) but didn't do much to give them a good direction to go with. I'd love to see you guys do this again with them not knowing how much time they have left, but give them a good theme!
Order suggestion: How much would they drink when they have a night out? Most to least, by volume! (Doesn't have to be alcoholic, just drinks in general!)
That Kush look oh my good 😆Barry set Jamie up to fail tbh, going 2nd after Ben just made the soups means Sous-Chef Baz needded to clearly set the dish for Jamie to continue, and not just toss a comedy amount of meat for a single dish into a pan lol. At least Jamie tried to be creative, I respect that
Thank you, I thought the same!
At least Ben gave some real options, but Barry left way too much meat, some filo and tomatoes 🤦♂ Jamie did the best he could with these "options". I would give Baz and Jamie reverse scores 💁♂
I’d never realized how delicately the music for Pass It On starts. Then begins the slow but sure descent into chaos. 😂
Hidden timer is a great concept!
Wow, Barry arrives early? I'm honestly impressed, I kinda expected that he would always arrive fashionably late.
We can see why you'd think that 😆
@@SortedFood With those wonderfully manicured locks of hair, Absolutely!
@@CrimWorld9 It just means he gets up extra early to luxuriate. That's dedication.
Jamie definitely let everyone down. Barry had some lovely ingredients in the pan, which could have been built on, but Jamie does wontons 🥟🙄 Ben took the easiest and laziest route possible. 😅 Mike tried his best, bless him. Good idea with the greens 🥬
So basically, Ben cut bread, poured an already made soup into a jar and gave himself a 7,5 based on that?
What’s next, Ben ordering a take away and waiting for it to arrive as his contribution to the pass it on?
The best parts were Kush's face and when Mike commented that the pastry was served on its own thing inside, lol. Love it. Honestly, all of the last three's efforts making it on a plate was a huge nod to teamwork and the format and that makes it a pass to me since they said it didn't taste bad. Plus not even mad about the chilled soups being separate because I was screaming at Ben at the end to keep going so that he didn't risk the others not knowing how to complete it. As it was, I was nervous about the toast sticks/soldiers getting burned. Also, honestly, many times you stuff something, you wind up eating the extra stuffing anyway, lol.
10:55 I couldn't stop laughing at Kush. I have never seen someone so bewildered in this kitchen, and that's saying a lot considering the usual happenings in the sorted kitchen
13:52 "It feels like the chef made a dish and the normals made a dish" Mike has never been more right
I've missed this! Loved every moment of it.
Heres a suggestion for you! The boys should give this a go but Janice shouldnt tell them when they're out of time. Tell them they have 40 minutes between themselves and can switch with anyone once they believe their 10 minutes are up. Only the last person finds out how long they have
😂😂😂😂 wow!!! Some people just want to watch the world burn 🔥🔥🔥
I agree! I would love to see this 🙈🤭😂
AAAmmmaaazziinggg! Loved it! Pass it on with a twist made my weekend!!
It'd be interesting to see an all-chef pass it on. Ben, Kush, Poppy, and another guest! Or maybe, Ben, Kush, Poppy, and Barry to see how our sous-chef handles the pressure of following up those three! 😂
I love pass it on, but please bring back the reaction series to them. They were brilliant :)
Such an awesome episode! Keep up the amazing work team! BTW dream episode is Buzzed/tipsy chefs remote control sober normals. I feel it would create peak chaos and humor especially with Kush and maybe even bringing a guest like Poppy on for it.
When I was younger I used to watch you guys a lot. I think I just slowly grew out of the cooking video realm and eventually stopped. I happened upon your videos again and I forgot how much I loved them. Even though the graphics are a bit better and the photos have been updated, I was smiling ear to ear seeing the negative bar of intelligence, over flowing hunger and weird/ hilarious 'he's the man' that everyone thought you had said yourself Mike still in the pass it on videos. The craziness and energy you bring, and the goofy friendship/ banter between you guys is still so prominent which is so lovely to see. Definitely subscribing to become a part of the sorted food family again
Love the comedic jamie theme that starts playing when he comes up with wontons lol
OMG OMG OMG NEW PASS IT ON EPISODE! My kid and i have been marathoning the old episodes recently
I can't believe Ben complained about the chorizo when he chose it and brought it from the table to the kitchen top himself!!! 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Ben sounds a little under the weather, I hope he feels better, love the chaos as always
If this was a fail (and I'm not sure it should be, if everything tasted really nice), I blame Ben. He just did his own dish, then left the normals to their own devices. OF COURSE their dish wasn't chef quality. There were no chefs involved. And they had to knock it together in 30 minutes because Ben used his 10 to do his own thing. How many times has he scolded Barry for doing exactly that?
As a video, though, it's a total success! We had lots of fun watching it.
Ben starting off with a completed appetizer is hardly the same as pulling a Barry in the middle of one of these. He essentially left 3 people 30 minutes to add something to make a meal out of it and they ended up with an (admittedly tasty) pile of slop. They said they should have done better and they’re right. Entertaining to be sure, but definitely a fail as far as the game goes.
Part of doing pass it on, is each person knows the strength of each of the other cooking styles/habits. The boys assumed dips, no one tasted until Mike. Ben, his brain goes to their core format. good easy cooking, no un-necessary waste. The boys have cooked with him for literally a third their lives. Test anxiety is a *itch.
We need a follow up on failed Pass It Ons. Where the chefs, Ben and Kush, use only the ingredients used during the original Pass It On but make it decent. Like 'Pass It On Revisited' or something along those lines...
How about a "Save the dish" series, where you address all the Pass It On fails, and try to fix them.
That also looked like a deconstructed Sang Choi Bau
We definitely need more pass it on... Neven having so much fun watching this channel.
Kush's reaction was awesome- equal parts concern, interest, and subtle horror.
Kush's wtf look at the end of Jamie's round had me rolling
Jamie’s mind went exactly where I thought it would. Straight to the sausage roll. Is their anything more British than that.
This is definitely my fav format from yall, Kush masterclass in close second.
I’d almost love to see the guys get what everyone ranked themselves as they come into the kitchen. Barry rolling in to hear Ebber’s seven, but imagine coming in to hear the guy before you ranked themselves a three but not *why* and panicking
This is so much better than anything on the telly.
100% this is a PASS! I think Ben messed it up from the get go, with the not cooking anything, and Mike surely brought it together. If you have a nice edible, enjoyable meal at the end, it's a PASS.😀 Oh, and cold "soups" are dips/sauces.
Cooking....pass it on is making a dish/dishes. Every element or even parts of the serving menu do not require having it heated in any way. The dish or serving menu can be hot or cold. It is up to the person preparing the item/items, hence Absolute Chaos, Big Smiles and much laughter....Thanks sorted : )
This is hilarious! It's fun to watch a chef start and then the normals trying to figure it out from there!
I’m sorry Jamie, but you made me laugh SO HARD. I don’t get many whole-hearted laughs these days, so thank you!
I definitely think that was a pass. Perhaps the plating in the end could've been changed up slightly. Put the wontons as another separate side dish. Keep the asparagus as an entree as well. Mix the lettuce with the chorizo mixture as a salad or use the lettuce as a base. It all worked.
This felt like a less chaotic pass it on surprisingly.
Master Chef Ben: Safely does basically nothing
Sous Chef Barry: Boldly cooks dishes with his time
Burn 🤣
@@SortedFood The burn would be Mike today.
I'm sorry but your right
Barry put pork in a pan? What dish is that?
I’ve only known about these lads for a couple months or so I’m a decent home cook thanks to my mum she is a awesome cook always cleaned as up when cooking I do the same coming up random food with leftovers everyone lve my food when they come round but watching you lads has upped my cooking no end
Yes! I love these videos!
Nice to see Jamie is back on form...
How many years before the trio realize that Ben ALWAYS wants to spotlight seasonal freshness in whatever he starts?
10:56 THAT, and 11:54, I think that would be a goal to strive towards, to be that consumed by the task, the goal in front of you, that you don't even stop to be conscious of what a chef might think you're doing.
