I'd like to see an episode on Extremely Specific Silverware. Give the boys a grapefruit spoon or an olive spoon etc and see how long it takes them to work out exactly which food it was specifically designed to tackle.
Yes! I was out for a tasting menu meal meal last night and was presented with a bone marrow knife. Had absolutely no clue what it was for until the food arrived.
There are forks for grapefruit?
Wtf 😅
@@etienne8110 Yes, indeed there are! They look like an elongated thin "spork". Two or three tongs at the end dig into the grapefruit flesh, then you angle it slightly upwards and the segment slides back into the spoon bit. My parents were given a Victorian canteen of cutlery for their wedding present in 1946 and it had a lot of these funny bits of cutlery. My favourite were the dessert spoons which were slightly pointed and had a serrated edge at the tip. Those were for pastry tarts. The canteen had 120 pieces to it, and my parents never used it! As a child I was allowed to open the case and admire the contents.
@@etienne8110there are :) Serrated on one side to help get the section out of a halved grapefruit.
Yes we need this to happen 😂😂😂
Kush with the red goatee looking like nothing weird was going on, had me dying.
The crew wore them well :D
He's just so naturally funny, great addition to the team.
Oh, that was Kush? I thought it was James...
12:27 now that's magical
hahaha yes
A note from a Mexican fan: for a truly fantastic foam with the chocolate we make it cold and just froth away until our arms fall off. The foam can end up twice as tall as the beverage itself and tastes amazing. Its still sold like that in some traditional markets during the hot summer as a refreshing beverage.
That sounds so delicious.
Just a silly thought, but has anyone used a drill to put a bit in the wooden end, then just use the electric drill to mechanize the frothing? Might be a bit easier than arms falling off!
I think you're confusing it with pozol. Although it comes from cacao it's way different from what you described (hot cold chocolate).
@@alejandrocabral4637 pozol uses water and corn and doesn't typically get a foam since it is thicker.
Think you could do something along the lines of "exploring student meals across the world", cheap student staples that could help others that want cheap food inspiration?
Great shout 🤔
KWOOK does that, to an extent, but Sorted would do an amazing job! They could even get KWOOK in, just for fun!
Mike's moustache makes him look like a 1930s Belgian detective whereas Jamie's moustache makes him look like a 1970s German porn star 😂
Whatabout kush? 😅
@@etienne8110 He is a Norman/Viking
@@etienne8110 I don't know what you're talking about. Kush was just Kush. No modifications.
now I can't unsee that ...
Jamie looks like the captain of the guard.
My dad collected mustache cups. Has a few hundred of them. He really appreciated your highlighting them on today's episode and agrees that they are made to last. Thanks for all you do!
A FEW HUNDRED?!? Wow.
I love how there are people collecting everything! How cool!
My grandma also had a collection of them that disappeared when my grandpa remarried after her death😢
My dad had a couple when I was a kid. (70's) There might be one still hanging out somewhere in the house.
why this comment is not pinned
Before I even watch - THANK YOU for having subtitles on your videos again. It's so very appreciated.
This!!
No problem 😊
@@SortedFoodthankyou for being such legends. Keep up with the great content guys
YES! i’m hard of hearing and while i’m super grateful for even the automated captions, it’s so much more fun when they’re done by hand because it captures everything so much better, tells us who’s talking, spells everything right, and isn’t confused by dialect/accent!
The mustache cup test was fantastic. And great seeing everyone join in.
Kush is such a lad 😂
@@vcekron Kush reminded me of the Lorax lmao
They all looked amazing.
@@DilysCheong1998 you are right
Came to say the same thing!
Lol... I'm imagining coming across the clip of Mike and Jamie rubbing each other's mustaches and saying how dry they are, but completely without context. 😂😂😂
Great idea for a UA-cam short 😈
Mike at 16:42 "Am I in?"
I’ve noticed over the last several months that Mike has made a real effort to be more open-minded to new ideas and opinions. He’s very positive and seems to be really trying to consider all perspectives and not rule things out. Kudos, Mike!!
Which is great in gadget videos but infuriating in pretentious ingredients.
Surprised we didn’t see Ben under the closh as he’s an antique vintage gadget coming from the Victorian era 😂
Brilliant work! 🤣
@@SortedFoodamazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
😂😂😂
Great...😅😅 they always needed a giant cloche
That's too funny. I collect and sell antiques and Ben is my favourite. 🤔 A classic.
I knew what each item was.
I live in Texas, so not only do we sell the hot chocolate mixer, but the Mexican chocolate, which comes in a bar (similar to Bakers chocolate). The most common brand around here is Abuelita.
The sugar tong, and the result of the bits of sugar one gets from using the tongs on the sugar loaf/cone, is the origin of the phrase, "One lump or 2?"
My husband used a mustache cup. He had a mustache/beard similar to the ginger one in the video.
And my family uses the pastry cutter quite frequently.
In my opinion, all 4 of the gadgets shown are "built to last!"
Me too!
I'm from a state near you, and I've been embarrassingly frustrated with Mexican chocolate. I was unaware of the existence the wooden molinillos. I'll have to get one now.
What purpose do the loose rings serve?
@@christopherbiomass7155 amazon has them
@christopherbiomass7155 when the device is spun, the rings move up-and-down, so that there is vertical as well as horizontal agitation.
Thanks, I was wondering what function the rings had! @@loraweems8712
When Ben showed how Chefs whisk (using a straight arm), there must have been THOUSANDS of people across the world air whisking simultaneously. I know I did!
Once again so impressed with Mike being the only one being mindful of/nailing the double ll pronunciation. Two weeks in a row! Thanks Mike!
I don't know why I love the cut to Kush looking disapproving at something and then leaving, but I just do...
Keep being you Kush
Here in Mexico we still use piloncillo (our word for panela) regularly for certain traditional recipes and for cafe de olla, and you can get it granulated but the cones are still very commonplace so i would love that nipper right now! So i dont have to get the hammer out to break it up cause its often too hard!
Sounds like a thing to look into then, cos that cone looks like if it over hardens you are busting out a hammer and chisel and carving out your sugar 😂
Interesting! Thanks for sharing 😍
We use it in Venezuela too, though it's a brick instead of a cone and we call it papelón. It's an important ingredient in our gastronomy. Like papelón con limón (lemonade with panela instead of sugar). I just use a knife to scrape it, or buy it pre grated.
a lot of sweet shops here in the uk had these back in the 60s before every thing went pre packed, used for breaking up things like bonfire toffee and cough candy,so if you do want a pair try sites supplying pro hard candy makers.
@@yadiracamacho499 I was going to say can't it be grated?
I’d love a gadget video solely on garlic presses/crushers/slicers. There are so many different versions. The traditional press, the handle press you rock, the crushers where you put it in the bottom and crush with a top, a mini chopper type gadget etc.
You guys need to wear mustaches more often, they fit you guys perfectly. Especially when you give the audience some looks. Edds is perfect :D
Well see what we can do.
Jamie suits his "pathfinder" 'tache, thught Ben would have pinched that one.
Chocolate frother, I live in Texas and have used one all my life, have one and used it last night. Mexican chocolate has cinnamon in it and it needs beating. Love it!! A wire whisk doesn’t do the same thing
Thanks for sharing! Really interesting 🧐
A whisk can do the same job, but it does take more effort than a molinillo. You can get really good results with a manual egg beater if you happen to have one.
It’s more commonly used as a mixer for champurrado which is much thicker as it has Masa harina or corn flour added to it.
…I’m trying to figure out if I can justify adding another specialized tool to my kitchen when I don’t make many frothy drinks. (I’m currently trying to par down my kitchen gadgets and pans to what I actually use.) I’ll put it on my 2024 Christmas list, lol.
I think with enough 'antique gadgets' videos, we're due for a Pass It On where everyone must use an antique or two 😁
Ohhhh now that would be a challenge. Gulp.
@@SortedFoodOoh yes! And make the challenge to use the ”built to last” gadgets, so they have to prove their assessment!
Love this idea!!
No no, not just one or two. ONLY antique gadgets!
“It’s definitely not carbonara.”
Someone’s really trying to not offend the Italians here. 😂
They are the most easily offended about food. Not other things, but food so much so fast.
@@adde9506as soon as I heard "cream" my eyes jolted to the video, I am a stereotype, it seems 😂
Too late. Pronounced chitarra with a “ch-“ sound. 😝
@@adamwatson9112 When I heard it I immediately had to comment about it and "bash" Ebbers for not knowing. Yes, I am italian 🤣🤣
Oh my! I haven't laughed this much since PF2. The cup! The moustaches! The Kush/James hybrid. Beautiful!!
The chocolate frother was identical to a gadget my grandmother used from the 1920s onwards to make Horlicks. There was a tall ceramic jug and the frother both marked with the Horlicks name. It was a cheaper alternative to the pyrex jug with the metal plunger. I can still remember her using it to make my bedtime drink in the 1950s.
I didn't get the pasta maker, but I did get the other two. Grandmother also had a set of sugar nips similar to those on the programme which she inherited from her own mother.
I love it when you do historical stuff. Absolutely my favourite Sorted content.
12:28 Kush with a ginger beard?! He sure loves james' style huh?
I've seen Chitaras used before and I have to say, what Jamie ended up doing to cut the pasta is what I've always seen the tool used, so well done on figuring that out!
Interesting that the sugar is called Panela as that is the name of the most common
mild cheese in Mexico. Also, Mexican hot chocolate commonly comes in pucks that you break bits off and usually has cinnamon in it. I own a Mexican hot chocolate frother. Have had it for years and use it often. I should mention, that I am a Canadian who lives in Mexico. Love your channel. It brings me joy.
Isn't it piloncillo in México? Panela is the Colombian name (probably in other places too) and in Venezuela we call it papelón. But those are in a brick shape instead of a cone like piloncillo.
@@yadiracamacho499 Yeah, the sugar cone is piloncillo in Mexico, and like the other person said, in Mexico, panela is a type of cheese. Goya is an American brand that caters to many different Latin-American communities in the US, so the label had both names on it.
Do you think without being too insulting he might be related to Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg or perhaps Sheldon Cooper?
@@yadiracamacho499OT is called piloncillo.
I visit Mexico every winter and see the molinillo and piloncillo sugar used regularly wherever artisanal cacao or. Champurrado is served. In fact I’m planning to buy a molinillo to bring home on my next visit.
I grew up in Mexico and recognized the piloncillo/panela right away, but not the gadget for it. The molinillo, though, my mom has basically that exact one. The thing that was really surprising is that as soon as he was told what it was, Mike immediately knew how to use it. I also liked that despite Mike having never heard of it before, was able to correct Ben on his pronunciation. 😜
Bring back bloopers or dad joke of the week!
Im from india. We have a device like the chocolate frother minus the rings which is used typically for making sweet/salted lassi. My mom has used it to break down dal and some froth while cooking too.
Gadget video? That too, with history? Along with the memory of Jamie having too much fun with custard pump? I’m sat and ready to learn.
Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the community.
Great video.
Colombian here, we also use a molinillo to froth the chocolate, and it was its only purpose in my household growing up. For other things one would use a whisk. Panela is amazing, we would use a flat enough stone to break it into pieces 😂. It makes one of the simplest beverages: water+panela+lemon/lime and drink it cold or hot 😊
I love this group of people so much. From in front of the camera to behind the scenes, they're all so fun loving and hard working. Y'all are amazing, thank you for all that you do!
❤
I love the antique episodes, i occasionally remember using some.
This is such a valuable channel. Aside from cooking technique tutorials, recipe and chef inspiration, and cultivating such a positive community, we’re also so fortunate to be exposed to different tools that we all may not be familiar with and get mini history lessons. What a gift to exist at the same time as Sorted !
Having a laugh at Mike with the Chitarra. As a kid I used to do the same whenever I was using the old fashioned egg slicer. Pretending it was a mini harp.
I miss my egg slicer. Went missing in the last move.
@@bjdefilippo447 I bought one for a friend who'd never seen one & was admiring mine a year or two back, I was amazed how inexpensive they were these days. I got a new all metal one for under a fiver. You should treat yourself sometime - then egg sandos will be back on the menu. 😋🥚🥪
@@Getpojke Excellent! I'll be on the lookout. Thanks!
@@bjdefilippo447 I checked on a certain famous web-seller named after a river. Still selling for between £4-£20.
12:29 - I think that suits Kush he rocks that hard.
Sugarloaf still used in Germany 🇩🇪 for Feuerzangenbowle.
We bought my dad a moustache mug for Father’s Day in the early 70s. He used it for years, even after he ditched the tache. Your segment brought back a happy memory.
Having never heard of a chitarra, I watched a couple other videos of Italian grandmothers making pasta using them. Amazing how older versions have lines from the strings of the chitarra worn in to the rolling pin. Various techniques of removing the stuck pasta by strumming the strings was awesome as well. Cool device.
Not even a minute in and the innuendos have already started. 😂
Just the way I like it. 😜
Of all the antique, vintage and modern gadgets you have guys that tried, that pasta cutter is the only one i've ever seen that made my go. OH MY GOSH I NEED TO HAVE THAT. I usually cut pasta by hand and its tedious. I've used some pasta cutters (hand crank) in the past and they've not cut the best and are hard to clean. But this.... Simple and effective.
kush could get the littlest screentime and he'll still make a mark!! need a lot more of him!
How about a vintage pass it on. With vintage recipes from the reference book, and a selection of gadgets.
That’s a great idea!
How was it possible that everyone's mustache style fit what I know of their personalities perfectly? Like, Mike should definitely grow that mustache.
Okay but why does Kush look like he could totally rock a beard and stache like that so well.
I love the moustache cup! When curating an exhibit about WWI one of my favourite items was the German patriotism porcelain moustache cup. It got a place of pride and joy. It of course also featured Hindenburg like most of the patriotism porcelain from that period XD
I also immediately recognised the moustache cup! Because...I think Poirot had one in a movie?
From the UK & own three of these & have been hankering after the fourth for a while now. Sugar snips I have because they're old family ones. Picked up the frother at a market for fun. The moustache cup not only keeps your 'tache dry, but stops any wax/pomade tainting the flavour of your tea. Have wanted a Chitarra for a while now, they are so cool.
A sorted food pop up food history museum would be so fun. I love history, food and sorted so would be front of the queue to go!
Mexican hot chocolate tends to be pretty sludgey, which helps the frothing process. They like putting cinnamon in there, which I think straight-up can't really dissolve. Having a thicker liquid helps to keep the suspension of both spice and air.
Thank you for proper subtitles!
Mustache cup for the WIN!!! I currently have over 70 cups in my collection including a few left-handed cups that I think Jamie would appreciate. My 'unicorn' is to find a mustache soup spoon one of these days (location Toronto region, Canada)
I collect kenwood mixer attachments and my favourite is the combined pea podder and runner bean slicer
I love the cream pump, if only because it reminds me of having puddings at my grandparents when I was young.
do you mean the a727 cream maker because that's my second favourite@@thegreatmothra
@@sbjchef Yep, that's the one!
I am literally drinking coffee from a mustache mug as I'm watching this. Found it exactly 11 years ago (thank you FB Memories) at a Goodwill up in Maine.
I knew the hot chocolate frother because I've seen those used. My favorite packaged spaghetti is made ala chitarra. It'd kind of square-ish, and it does have those rough edges that hold the sauce.
Proud of myself for immediately knowing exactly what the first gadget was and how it's used. Comes from being a Townsends fan.
i'd have to bet that the pasta cutter would work a lot better if the strings were tightened. that's my favorite of this round... but i do need one of those stache cups.
"it works, it does a really good job, we just don't need the job that it does." -- very well put!
I love how the food example seamlessly transitioned from one gadget to the next
Anyone else think that stache really fits Mike? Obviously the color is wrong but he's pulling it off.
I scrolled down looking to see if anyone had said this! He looks quite fabulous 🤩
@@BlackFiresong Absolutely!
Immediately fascinating, makes me want to see you do a Townsends collaboration à la your work with Max Miller, even better if he could help get y'all in period appropriate garb.
There are so many you can show. Victorian picnic basket set has alot of cool things. A flour slifter from the 20's. A cornbread iron skillet that looks like corncobs
I inherited a lot of cast iron including a corncob pan - and even a small one for teeny corncobs for kids or fancy dinners! 😆 We’d usually make corn light bread for that pan. The trick to them all is to pre-heat with a dollop of lard until screaming hot, then pour in the batter - ensures a really crisp crust. If it ain’t sizzling, it ain’t cornbread! 😜
I love the humour and positivity on this nostalgic channel!
Another great, fun video, but I have a question- the Mexican frother, what are the rings for? They didn't seem to do anything.
Remember they mention normally used in a tall cylinder container. The rings will be submerged and added to the frothing as they jump around.
For the record, the "Mexican hot chocolate," as you called it, traditionally doesn’t have any sugar in it. Resulting in a very bitter drink. It is delicious.
Well, pretty much anyone now (for a few hundred years) would be making it with piloncillo so it's still fair to call the sweetened version traditional imo
@@egyptiansushi Yup, there's nothing wrong with adding sugar. Though imo, it tastes better without.
The mustache cup testing is pure gold!
I love these episodes! I know I have seen the mustache cup in an antiques store before, but didn’t know what that part was for. The pasta maker, though a uni-tasker, would still be smaller than a pasta machine, and give you uniform pasta that you could make with ease and then put away in a small cupboard.
Jamie should have lifted up the cane sugar block like in the lion king, while singing
I am60,.. I remember this and also
as a child. My grandmother…we even had a man-gal, . . Very old buy, but useful. . And practical. 😊By the way, my grandmother called the people …‘foreigners from hot wells’ .., totally not PC. But …yes, that was life in the 70’s🎉
Thanks for sharing!
@@SortedFoodYou guys are the Best 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Greetings from US Virgin Islands. A visitor from Wales came in a store I was in today, and I asked if she was from England (though I didn't think so, because her accent wasn't quite "British." Turns out she is from WALES so I told her I watch "the British guys" on youtube all the time. She hadn't heard of Sorted! I mentioned what I learned in this episode, and she was FASCINATED! She says she's going to look for you guys soon. They (she and my friend who works in the store) loved the story about the mustache mug, and that you guys tested it with fake mustaches!
It was a fun conversation. Thanks, guys!
I almost choked on my food when I saw Kush, brilliant
That moustache on spaff gave me pause😂😂😂😂😂😂
That moustache fit the theme of all the innuenos.
Well, at least we know that Mike's first port of call is to Sniff the damn thing lol. EDIT: Why does Kush kinda suit that though?
I love these ones too! Okay and those mustaches, looking good everyone!
I really enjoyed how each gadget fed into what was used for the next gadget
Its quite bizarre that after just a couple of minutes, you completely forget Jamies stuck on tache isn't one he's actually grown in himself - it really suits him !!!
Given what happened in the last video. I don't think it's safe for these antique kitchen tools. Are safe to be around these guys. 😂
Can’t imagine WHY you would EVER say such a thing!!😂😂 Kush was right there…………?
@@Graciesmom-gp5ng Kush isn't so much a Safety Officer as a Range Officer.😆
I love Mike he's such a pip😂 taking a good ol whiff out of that thing was daring
Kush looking like a brown James curry lol😂
This goddamn episode - a bit heavy on the innuendo, don'tcha think?
That's what she said
The whole world somehow is gay now
So are we all choosing to ignore the very obvious possible hickey on Mike's neck? 😂
The nips are also a candymaker's tool that have been replaced with heavy scissors and the rolling die formed hard candy. You will occasionally see the nips used at places like Lofty Pursuits. Which if you've not watched candymaking...
I have seen all of these in use by normals at one point or another throughout the decades, and it's good to see you're shining light upon them once again.
Got the 3rd one! They are used still here in southern usa and mexico ❤ love it! In mexican hot chocolate, it has cinnamon in it and sometimes chili pepper ❤
Here in our border town in Texas we still see molinillo and the sugar cane but we know it as piloncillo in our local grocery stores. My grandmother makes champurrado for the winter holidays with both of those today.
Kush with the goatee was hilarious. Jamie - you looked like a creepy guy that would drive around in a white van near kids schools… Ben - you looked like the villain out of a black and white silent movie. 😂😂😂
That was so much fun! And the boys did a very good job at working out most of them!
13:31 that suits Ben more than I thought it would.
The moustaches gave me flashbacks to the '70s Battle episode, when a stick-on moustache fell into the fryer! 🤣
Gadget recommendation: jar tongs/ jar lifters used to lift hot jars from boiling water when canning or jarring things.
For the chitarra, once you get the past pushed into the wire, you take the end of the rolling pin and and run it up and down to push the pasta all the way through. I Used to make this daily when I worked in a restaurant! It's a lovely kitchen gadget. Spaghetti alla chittara! Lovely to use in cacio e pepe
Hello lads,
I saw the chittara and wanted to let you know that I was a pasta chef for 4 years and an Italian restaurant in Wilmington, North Carolina. I used that TOOL almost every day. Regular and Squid ink spaghetti and fettuccini for service daily along with lasagna and several other handmade pastas.
I did have the luxury of making my sfoglines with the Imperial Electric roller machine.
The smooth way to operate the chittara is to loosely hold the two knobs on the end in each hand and allow them to slip and rotate smoothly with the loose grip on the knobs. Start with pressure from the center back toward you and then from the center and away. Once you have the sheet pinned into place, roll the pin back and forth,and Sally's your auntie!
My friends dad before he passed has a brilliant mustache, he had several mustache cups for his tea and coffee, so that one I had seen before, I love the pasta guitar lol I think its brilliant. The mexican hot chocolate frother just made me want mexican hot chocolate.
Mexican hot chocolate is frequently available in the United States, and you can buy molinillos here for far less than you paid. They're even available in dollar stores.
Fun to see the Pepper Cannon make a come-back in actual use!
It was neat to see a moustache cup on here. Several years ago, I went to a local museum and saw them for the first time.
I enjoyed watching Ben with the physical demos of pouring, whisking and frothing!
“Interpretive dance.” Damn it Mike, that’s funny!!!😂
Ngl, Mike with that moustache makes me feel some kinda way 😂
