I'm just blown away that Ben says they have fat, on fat, on fat...and they go, we'll cut through it with a mayonnaise 😂😂😂
And also let’s make a centrepiece that’s just fat and fat and oil
Ben going really passive aggressive when he was reminding them that they were putting too much fat into the dish was classic Ebbers 😂😂 he would never unfairly criticise them but he tried to prod them in the right direction covertly to try and make them consider what needs to happen and requires changing instead of outright instructing them to take action, except none of the normals took his relatively gentle warning and continued to throw fat in a number of different forms into the dish and then trying to make amends when the damage was irreparable
I would LOVE to see what Kush was going to make with these ingredients! 😄
Great suggestion!
I think a big Hot Pot and Pajeon were on the cards!
Some form of Korean noodles and Jeon probably.
Definitely! Kush's fridge ingredients, fabulous. Lots of things that I pick up from the international food market when I go, but I don't really have any clue what to do with them beyond some very basic things. So seeing what Kush would do would be really great!
Yes,me too.
This had real "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed" energy from Ebbers. I felt like I was watching 3 schoolboys getting told off by the teacher 😅
But don't you think Ben was as impartial as possible and pointing out what had gone wrong and how they could improve? I kind of got the feeling he felt sorry for them. Maybe a bit disappointed and surprised. 🤔
I’d love to see a segment where Ben cooks predominantly with ingredients he’s never eaten before. Getting to see the process behind tasting, understanding and then implementing would be super interesting!
It could be a very valuable lesson for home cooks! The alphabetical challenge is some sort of that, where Ben not always is well informed about the dish, but makes decisions based on the ingredients.
Well, in the mystery box episode versus jamie, we saw that. And Ben, unlike jamie, didnt taste anything.
Please tell me that you’ve also raided Bens fridge for the normals to deal with in a later video.
This is absolutely brilliant!
It will be that, combined with, "We cooked from Ben's Allotment"
I'm sure he has a lot of jarred things in there, mostly gin-related escapades.
@@the_jestyr583 and we will call it: A taste of Ben('s)
It's just Hundreds of springs of mint and some gin
"Baz, you left the hob on." This was so on point, since the boys panic devolved into their first season selves.
As others have said, I'd love to see a follow up where Kush makes something with the same ingredients.
I doubt he was going to put them all in one dish. You always have several bits of different meals in the fridge. Trying to combine everything into one dish was their unravelling.
@@Acadia26 Agreed. That's what makes it a challenge. I'm sure Kush could make something great with any of those ingredients, but making something edible out of everything the normals used? That might take a miracle. :)
Kush's face of incredulity at the end when he saw what the normals were doing with his ingredients was amazing. Like "How did you manage to turn my amazing ingredients and dinner party into such a disaster". The guys should have used the cocktail mix so they could drink it later to drown their sorrows.
"give it to new daddy."
Mike continues to be the best part of Sorted. LMAO
Okay but did he have a baby? He hasn’t been on IG for years now!
He actually said “give it to me, you daddy”. I don’t think he’s a dad yet though.
@@anniemossct he's daddy to ME 😍
@@OracleAnneHis wife gave birth earlier this month to a beautiful baby girl, he definitely has new daddy powers! 👶😂
@@anniemossctHe is, beautiful baby girl born earlier this month. The new daddy powers will be a great advantage in any battles! 😂
I love how Barry at the end of making a dish goes: “This needs an egg.” 😂
Barry blooming loves an egg. No wonder he has chickens!
@@SortedFood haha. Chickens sound like the perfect pet for him then.
Atleast he didn't make an cloud egg.
@@omer2223 if only he had more time… 😂
I love that Ebbers points out all the oil, so Barry decides to put an omelet fried in oil on top of it as well as the boys putting mayo (emulsified oil) as something to cut the oil. 🤣
Seeing such a negative reaction from Ben is genuinely unsettling. He's like a disappointed parent
Ikr. I keep forgetting that although he's usually the chill one. That man still is a professional and give you critique like no other
It was a shocking display though. They see all that fantastic food and then really messed it up. Why no rice or noodle base? Why nothing fresh? Why two dressings?
They've come so far so yeah it's a little disappointing
That's my name LOL
Right??? He's usually so supportive and can find the positives even in mediocrity or outright failure. The fact that he's so negative about this makes me think it's *even worse* than it sounds. Poor Kush's fridge!
Regardless of the outcome, I always have pure respect for you all. This is NOT an easy thing to do, period. No way would I allow myself to be filmed doing it. LOL Best to ya, Boys.
Kush’s face is priceless. You can see him wondering what happened to all those nice options they discussed and the tasty ingredients that were in his fridge.
This NEEDS a 3 way battle now, with as many of the original ingredients that they used from this episode.
That would be awesome!
Absolutely. Or maybe even a 4 way. Throw a chef amongst the normals and let's see what could have been done.
I want Chef V Chef! Kush and Ebbers!
Bump
And add Ben and Kush in as additional contenders so we can see what they would do with the same ingredients as well!
Ben’s feedback at the end might as well have been “I’m not Angry, I’m just disappointed” 😂
"What I'm surprised at, is with those unfamiliar ingredients, you forgot the *absolute* basics?" was brutal 😅
"Let's not fall into old habits"
-Mike Huttlestorm's
-Jamie adds more and more ... and more flavor
-and Barry left the hob on
LMAO
Please, make a redemption video out of this. I think there's lots of learning still hidden away in this!! this is hugely inspirational and we all would benefit from the wisdom behind the "flavour bombs"
As always, I tend to feel for Mike in these videos because he always seems to be the one willing to make the decisions while the other two faff around the edges, and even if he doesn't have a particularly good win rate with them, it does seem to be that he's the only one sticking his neck out.
Absolutely! The others go quiet and tend to make something garnish-y. Barry especially derailed the broth idea when he said someone needed to take charge of doing the broth then totally removed the responsibility from himself, so no one else wanted to take it on by themself
Okay this will be totally random but can I say how excited I was to read your comment and see u use the word faff I used it at the office this past week, to describe an employee who was spending all day getting nothing accomplished and everyone looked at me like I had three heads no one had ever heard the term before ...
@@DanielleKFinn, where do you live? This is a particularly British term, so people who don't live in the UK reasonably may have never heard it.
That said, given the context, the meaning would have been quite clear to me. I have heard it because I love British TV.
@@bcaye That's probably why I live in the USA but have family and have visited Ireland and the UK multiple times and also am a fan of British TV, so I do sometimes use vocab/slang/colloquialisms that people in the states don't know. It didn't occur to me that faffing was one of them as it's something that was used in my house growing up all the time especially when chores or homeworking weren't getting done quickly enough lol.
Mike to me has always been the middle man of the normals, he doesn't have as much of a diffinitive style as the other 2, Jamie is always Meat, and Whiskey, and flaour. Barry is Pretentious, plating, fancy ideas. If either of them had been the decision maker, then no doubt, the other would have argued with their choices. As long time friends, ithink they know this full well and choose Mike intentionally in the spirit of teamwork.
The only thing i missed was Kush tasting the dish along with Ben and the normals. I really wanted to see his feedback to them as he was tasting the dish.
As these are ingredients that Kush is already familiar with plus the look on his face watching this disaster, I'm assuming he made sure he didn't have to taste it
I love that no matter what, be it Pass It On or any other type of group challenge, Barry sees what the group has clearly decided and is working toward and then decides to do his own thing anyway. Every time.
Not really, Barry tried to save the dish since no one else had any sense of direction so he gets credit for trying to give the dish a centrepiece
@@OK-mv4ih except they were told there was too much grease and oil and fat and so he decided to make something that oil and fat
I love that you guys still shared this video even though no one seemed particularly happy with the result! Thank you for showing us how you looked at the result at the end and talked over what could have been done differently. ♥️♥️♥️
Totally agree.
Can we get a video of Kush doing the exact same challenge with his fridge contents to show how it should have been done?
I got so excited when I saw the ingredients you had, and then Barry, Jamie and Mike happened. Oh dear.
oh dear, oh dear 😬
I would love to see non-timed challenges like this. Give the normals a real chance to work through the process and see what they come up with without the worry of a timed challenge.
Mike really took command of the kitchen in this episode, its cool to see the boys as such a strong team
"Tastes absolutely nothing"
"It must be a bay leaf"
😂😂
Always blame the bay leaf 😂
Poor Kush, did his weekend dinner party with cocktails turn into takeaway pizza and a pack of beers with no food left? Imagine the disappointment of arriving expecting a fine dining experience and getting a takeaway pizza 😂
Poor Kush.... 😂
Please tell us you just replicated his fridge contents and didn't raid the actual fridge!?!
@@jackybraun2705 They mentioned it in the other video. They bought new ingredients. You can see in this one that the sauces were still sealed!
@jackybraun2705 Given most of it was unopened (short of the chicken stock reduction thing) I’m inclined to say most things they used were acquired for the video short of perhaps things that were particularly expensive or difficult to source.
They should have let Kush make a dish with these ingredients to show how they should have been used.
I would like to see 2 videos come out of this one. 1. Put Kush on camera with the same ingredients to show us what he can do by making 3 dishes. 2. Get the same ingredients again for each of the home chefs (normals) and have a cook off where they each have to prepare 3 dishes.
As someone with a lot of Kush's ingredients in their fridge, what the Normals were presented with was extremely challenging for someone not used to those foods. I felt tremendously sorry for them because they pretty much were set up to fail but they gave it their best go!
I was honestly surprised how much this challenged them - minus the tahini, it looked like a pretty straight-forward hotpot to me
@@oggopia It TOTALLY could have been a hotpot! But then they could have gone with a fusion nishime or a hoto.But I do understand the "challenging" aspect of it. I go over to the UK for weeks and a lot of my kitchen time is spent saying things like: you have to really beat up the lemongrass or don't be afraid of the fermented red bean tofu.
@@oggopia Agreed, but I think Ben's right part of the challenge to all the obvious stuff like that is it doesn't feel good enough for 3 cooks. Like when they did it with Ben's fridge they all turned out great dishes but there's no way any of those would have been the choice if they were all cooking together
I had an idea for a sneaky switch up on a "meals from leftovers" episode: the Normals get given leftovers and asked to cook some meals, Ben thinks he will cook something with the same initial selection afterwards but actually he gets the leftover leftovers that the Normals didn't use.
This gets a like especially for the concept of "leftover leftovers" 😂
Would love to see what Ben would've made with these ingredients. Or Kush (give him some stage-time) and let him explain some of the ingredients that were so unfamiliar.
Seconded - having just a little more time to get into the chefs' minds and learning how they think (or even just witnessing the thought process!) would make something like this turn from comedic chaos to ... funnier comedic chaos with a little bit of learning to supplement!
If he's up for it I'd love to see him in front of the camera a bit more.
I would love to see the chefs cooking actual recipes a bit more. I feel like with these challenges and the Pass It On episodes we get a bit too much "what not to do."
If anyone is curious, I think that what Kush had in mind is called "Popiah". It is essentially a Fujian-ese style wrap (the pastry that Jamie fried off) filled with Chinese turnip, cabbages, chinese sausage, tofu, shredded omlette, with like a sweet dipping sauce on the side. All the ingredients seemed to be there.
I might be completely off the mark here but don't I remember something being said about Kush not particularly comfortable with being on camera?
Maaaaan Mike's efforts on improve planning and explanation is really impressive. Great work guys!
I appreciate Ben going for the sheer constructive criticism as an ernest professional chef and that the guys didn't shy away from hearing it. Sometimes we just need to stumble again to remember how we were supposed to pick ourselves up.
having all those amazing Asian food ingredients and managing to make a salad + omelet out of it is incredible in a way.
im like... literally put most of that stuff into a pot together and it would turn out fine lol
the bay leaf slander 😤 you should definitely do an episode on comparing dishes made with and without bay leaves because I swear it DOES make a difference! 💕🌿
Bay leaf does make a difference, but it's quite subtle, so if you add a lot of other, more overbearing, flavors it may not be as noticeable. But I always make bechamel by infusing it with onion and bay leaf, and you really really really taste the bay leaf, there is no way they would be able to deny it in something like that.
Bay leaf is a subtle aromatic, and most people who say it does nothing are usually using old bay leaf that has had its aromatic compounds break down over time. Put a fresh bay leaf in a pot of white rice and compare it to a pot without and there is a huge difference.
bay leaf is a lot like vanilla in baking. leave it out and something's just missing, add a touch and it just elevates all the other flavors you're working with.
I'm from a place where bay laurels are native, and I just keep a bag full of them that I've picked on hikes. Idk if it's because they're foraged wild, or fresher, or what, but I swear they have such a strong, distinct flavor, I can't believe how much shit these guys talk. Adding a bay leaf to a soup or sauce for me is as much of a power move as adding a cinnamon stick. You can't not notice it.
It's absolutely hilarious that with the ability to communicate and planning time, the boys still managed to make a proper Pass It On disaster. Confused dish, too many ingredients, no concrete game plan, everyone doing their own thing despite what else is going on in the kitchen, Mike breaking down halfway through and panicking, Baz adding eggs to the detriment of the dish, and Jamie properly Spaffing it by deep-frying the pastry/wrappers. We need more of this!
The sneaky little "what the fuck is that?" from Barry as he's cooking the omelette and looks in on their plating, absolutely brilliant. 🤣🤣
12:00
Congratulations to Mike on the new baby! And Barry for cutting his hair!
Barry was so close to making a cloud egg as a ‘way of saving’ the dish you could see 😂
Would love to see this become a full series that different chefs send you images of what they have. Get in Poppy's fridge!!!!
Now she's got her fancy new telly job I bet she's got a lot more than just potato dishes in her fridge!! I wonder if she'll find time to visit the boys again soon.
I LOVE when all three are in the kitchen. It’s so fun and the friendship shines.
Would love to see what Kush would make with the same ingredients and teach the normals how to use them!
That tap on the table and lid opening is outright class! Way to go Mike!
“who feels confident making a broth”
jamie: “not me”
jamie at the end after it all went to shit: “if I was on my own I would’ve made a broth”
But that's Spaf. He's often not confident about what he's cooking but hell if he isn't going to take a swing at it. Usually it doesn't work in his favour but when it does it seems like it really does.
@@craigbryant9925 for sure. we love experimental spaf too
an actual soupy thing would have frankly worked just fine flavor wise with a lot of those ingredients
if you listened to it, it was more "he would of attempted it on his own knowing that if it failed it was completely his fault and on him". When you are working in a team if you mess something up it impacts the team, which is why he wasn't confident.
Does Mike have a leadership badge? Cause he really does step up when all 3 normals are put together haha.
With those ingredients I'd probably have made a soupey/stew thing or maybe a jeon or rice thing. But I'm comfortable with throwing ingredients together in an Asian style dish
Reminds me of being at a friend's after a night out and attempting to creat something from the nothing in their fridge LoL Kush definitely has more to work with 🤣
Haha..... it is a bit like that!
I love seeing more of kush. He's such a character, In The best way possible.
Failing is not a bad thing!!! You learn from failure and that was the absolute beauty of this video! Not everything needs to turn out great all the time. This shows that you're human plus I myself still learned new things like tasting ingredients and then coming up with something! Great approach! Don't beat yourself up over it (:
The best comment I've read on this page so far.
So good to actually see these three working together and genuinely thinking to produce something, instead of each trying to create something separate. So good to finally see them learning too!
Please keep it up and keep making this style of video. This is the kind of thing that will eventually (hopefully!) lead the team to be AMAZING at pass it on. It was much more satisfying to watch this, where the team genuinely tried and then failed, as opposed to the Christmas live event where you almost couldn’t say it was a genuine attempt and so was quite unsatisfying. Great to see the genuine reflection and feedback/help from Ben too.
Would also LOVE to see each person tackle this individually….!!
Barry looking like he’s about to enter a boyband in the 90s.
This was chaotic in the best way. I would not have known what to do with those ingredients at all, so I'm still impressed by the boys' ability to get anything on the plate.
Ooh now I want to see them all repeat this individually and see how differently it goes
I love that Kush had laoganma and Chinese sausage! I’ve got those same ingredients in my fridge and they’re my go tos for adding lots of flavor to bland dishes
everyone needs a Ben in their lives. what a great teacher he is
Frankly, I love the transparency of this video. Even with all the years of practice and how amazing chefs our “normals” have become, there are times where you just kind of go for it and it flops. There’s nothing wrong with these mistakes, so long as we take the time to learn from them as Ben took the time to discuss, not only as they worked but also when they were debriefing at the end. It wasn’t in a sassy event like what happens when Jamie manages to piss off an entire country or when Barry decides to be Barry - it was a thorough discussion of what fell through, and what could be done to prevent that from happening in the future.
I’d love to see them attempt a similar challenge in the future, just to see what they’ve retained from this experience and how they’ll adapt to create something truly delicious ☺️
This was amazing! It’s awesome to see how Sorted has developed, not only our favourite faces of the show, but the behind the scenes must be huge. A whole operation going on, and a round of applause for everyone involved!
Love watching Mike taking control of the kitchen and directing the others.
Good to see the boys cook outside their comfort zone. And we get to learn new ingredients that we might not have heard of.
Barry: (struggles to open jar)
Jamie: “Give it to Daddy.”
Mike, after seeing Jamie struggle: “Give it to new Daddy.”
Workplace Banter on point as always 😂
3:25 Mike displaying New Daddy Energy > Mike in the Shower.
Wait, did Mike and his wife have a new baby? Is that why he's new daddy?
@@heidilee_13 I'm wondering this too!
I’m on the wondering train too!
@@heidilee_13 don’t think so. It’s just part of the banter, I think lol
@@heidilee_13s his wife gave birth a few weeks ago to a beautiful baby girl. He definitely has new daddy powers! 👶😂
Jamie’s “give it to Daddy” had me in stitches 😂
Must say I really liked Ben jumping in to give some feedback and try and steer them back oncourse. In retrospect it's because he could already see the disaster looming, but I thought it was quite nice to see his thought process and how he'd improve on what the normals are doing.
over a year ago i commented that i was going to do a culinary education,
next week monday after doing an education, internship and other learning im starting work in the restaurant of a well known hotel chain where i live
im very excited :) thank you all for being an inspiration to so many aspiring cooking enthusiasts
Best of luck ! .. ✌️🧡
“This is the safe stuff.”
So there’s also some fish in Kush’s fridge that might kill you?!?
I would love to see a re-take where they each compete with the same ingredients. Even now knowing what they are, it would be fun to see what they took away.
Love how Barry was enthusiastically eating and distributing what he thought were bay leaves at the beggining, even though those would be toxic to eat.
Bay leaves are not toxic. They have been used for centuries as a medicinal herb. A quick Google would have prevented this misinformation.
Give it to Daddy 😂😂😂
the thing about having a plan is, don't abandon it unless you have a better plan. Right off the bat they dumped what they'd been planning and replaced it with a shrug and just started frying things hoping that eventually a plan would materialise.
Ben panicking whilst they don't have a plating plan is sending me lmao bless him
I'd love to see yall do a series of videos that are essentially come dine with me, you're guys all host a dinner party each week for a few weeks. Maybe at each other's homes, or with a house sound stage yall rent and the host that week decorates then sets up the meal as though it was a dinner party
I felt like Ben was actually scolding the Normals at the end there "Get on the naughty step! Think about what you've done! 😤" 🤣🤣
3 Things:
- Jamie’s Reaction to Food Items is Improv Comedy at its best.
- ‘Wind Dried Sausage’ makes me giggle because I’m immature.
- Mike’s Arch-nemesis is the Bay Leaf and I don’t agree lol
This is the best sorted food video I’ve watched. Really relatable and learned so much.
I absolutely love how honest and constructive this was. I'd love to see the video that Ben wants to see, where the normals all give this a go by themselves, but with advance planning.
You know it's gonna be a storm when they spend half the time trying to find out "what's this thing"
😁😁 I'm so ready for the chaos..
I think i started laughing around 9:30 and didn't stop until the end 🤣🤣🤣
You'll have a six pack soon! 😂
As a Korean national born bred and living in korea, i’m happy to see jonggatjib kimchi! It’s the best brand for ready to eat kimchi, and it’s my family’s preferred brand
Loved to see Mike taking charge at the beginning (even if it did go a little off the rails) I also thought Ben's commentary was fantastic! A great mix of poking fun at the normals, but also a good set of questions to ask as yourself as you create a meal. As a college student, I'm moving from cooking the occasional meal because I enjoy it to cooking to feed myself, which has meant less pre planned meals and more just throwing things together. I remember first learning about the flavor triangle on this channel and it's really stuck with me, and I feel like balancing the fats vs flavors will be another staple like that
3:35 I was expecting Jamie to say "I loosened it for you" lol 🤣
I can already tell this will be amazing and CHAOTIC
Please never stop making content. I love you guys!
I learned that you guys don't listen to each other - you kind of come up with a plan and then throw it out the door. But I still love you all and thank you for the information, education & entertainment you provide!
They should do a follow up episode where they each make a dish from Kush's fridge. See what they come up with and how different they'd be!
Straight into it... a very good move. Titles are just things we skip!
The fun thing about this is trying to imagine something close to what they are trying to make!
At first i was thinking an Asian style leek soup, at the end i thought it was gonna be some type of okonomiyaki!
I love the thought process, and the creativity. It’s nice to see new flavours
1:22 Jamie and Ben giving Kush’s “secret” weekend plans away! 😂
I love this running joke about bay leaves xD
This was like "Pass it on" but all at the same time... Love it!
I enjoyed this one more than alot of the others because Ben was actually coaching the boys through bits, didn't provide too much info but helped guide them into thinking about the oil content for example..
It might be cool to see Ben jump in and really help when its clearly not going to work
This is one of many times I wished I could just jump through the screen and took over, you had everything for an amazing soup with the glace and miso and and sausage and the veg, pretty sure if they had given each of you the same ingredients separately as Jaime said it would have come out much better.
The Face Journeys on this channel are a cultural reset. Screen grab has been taken lol
Can't wait to see these on Twitter later 😂
@@SortedFood Haha I can’t wait to compile it
Congratulations Mike! You must have had so much on your plate these past months with a baby coming and planning the show!
How about combining the two concepts: Pass It On and Cook what is in a Chef's Fridge.
Everyone sees the ingredients beforehand so they know what they may see and then you get the organised chaos of Pass It On as it is one person in the kitchen at a time leaving confusion for the person after them.
One of the first times I've seen Ben so disappointed 😭I would have loved to see what Kush would have made with those ingredients.
If I had access to rice, I would have thought to make a claypot rice and maybe some dumplings on the side. Could have used the chicken glace to make a quick stock together with the leeks to be used to cook the rice along with those mushrooms and the lup cheong (chinese sausage). Mayyybe could have added the snow fungus for some crunchy texture in the claypot rice but that's normally used in desserts believe it or not! With the dumplings could have chopped up the kao soi (chinese chives) and added it to some minced pork and/or the kimchi for some acidity amongst all the rich flavours and maybe chopped cabbage for the filling?
So many amazing Asian flavours to use and choose from...and the boys made a salad XD
"Wind-dried sausage" sounds like what the fellows would have after showering at a nudist camp.
I have had these days in the kitchen! Bravo for giving it a whirl!
This is a live action representation of the saying "too many cooks spoil the broth" EDIT: I wrote this RIGHT before Jamie said it lol
OH!! Jamie!! The gods bless you for reading exactly what was on the label!!
What an interesting episode, makes me want to test with new ingredients as well, with a bit of research of course! I really miss the bloopers at the end though, they always gave a boost to the day.
I appreciate that this is such a fail but you still release it. Very humbling
