      I disagree, because using the electric kettle was just "making a pot out of it" just with a different heat source, I say it is well within the rules, a kettle is a kettle. I'd say using the skillet on the toaster is breaking the rules because the skillet is not a toaster, microwave, or kettle.

    Barry broke the rules, the spirit of the challenge is about not using the stove or oven, whereas he's arguing the only thing that matters is the shape of the vessel. Mike bent the rules and stated fully in parameters by using the toaster as the source of heat for his pan. This while challenge basically boils down to not using the easiest heat sources, so Barry definitely broke and Mike bent

      I just ask: would the Taskmaster allow it? The rules were use a toaster, microwave, or kettle for cooking. Is a kettle a kettle if it has a separate heat source? Yes, it is. Is a pan a toaster, microwave, or kettle? No, it is not.

    I love fondue bourguignon, and I think Barry did a fantastic job with all the accoutrement (the chips, the sauces, the kebabs). Still, I must agree with the majority and say that using the hob did break the rule, even if it was for a kettle. I'm also glad that Mike won this battle. He did some research and found something really original to cook for this battle, and it paid off since it totally worked and was delicious. I also liked how Jamie used his electric kettle as a saucepan and how he toasted his croutes in and on the toaster, but his dish was not as wild as Mike's, so I think second place is fitting for his offering.

So we'd get whatever food was available at the nearby shops and maybe supplement with food bank items and then cook them using different things that weren't the "normal" cooking method. The goal was to help them cook healthier meals than the junk food that was easiest. Really enjoyed doing that.

      The difference between the sauces is pretty straightforward. Hollandaise is a liaison sauce, butter and eggs whisked into an emulsion over heat. Basically a hot mayonnaise. Bearnaise is strictly a hollandaise with tarragon added, and a (usually tarragon)vinegar and shallot reduction added for piquancy, not other herbs. A roux is a cooked mixture of starch and fat, that is used to thicken a sauce, such as a veloute(with stock) or a béchamel, (with milk).

    I think Mike made some unique happy accidents in his bread making by a)using a microwave to rise and bake it, b)cutting it while piping hot, before the crumb had a chance to set properly, and c)toasting it before soaking and frying it, and all that contributed to something akin to an overmixed cake where too much gluten formed, aka a very cakey pillowy bread

    While I whole-heartedly agree with Barry in the regard that the camping kettle was the safest option between that and the glass kettle; it is absolutely a broken rule as the hob was off limits. I also think that Mike using a pan over the toaster was a bend of the rule and would totally be allowed as he was still using the toaster to heat his bread; not the hob. But I'd say Mike is the winner as it was the most impressive to me and via disqualification due to a rule break, Barry would be the loser (although his food did look great).
