Theyve all come pretty far. I was watching some of their older stuff and ever since the ultimate chef thing they've all levelled up pretty far.but then technically they could be classed as clasically trained chefs now (albeit not on a proper chefs level).
I feel like they both deserved the win in their own way, because I'm not sure if there has ever been an episode where both ideas sounded so absolutely crazy and seemed so disastrous in the process, yet both ended up as huge successes. The way both of them thought out of the box to bring all these flavors together is seriously impressive.
I love this idea, but to Mike's point that Ben set them up with this challenge, I think forcing Ebbers to do the same with the three remaining cans is only fair. So going forward, we should see two "Normals" draw cans and prepare a dish, then after judging, a chef must take the three remaining cans and make a dish of his own. Or perhaps have a follow up episode where Ebbers or Kush makes a dish using the same canned ingredients that the "Normals" used. EDIT: So obviously I posted this before I finished the video lol Both dishes turned out great. Still, I'm torn between seeing what a chef would do with the same ingredients, although the benefit of time and observation is a bit unfair, not to mention the advanced chef-y skills. Or seeing the chefs use the remaining tins with no prep time for a taste of their own medicine.
I would like to see the chefs re-use the same tins. I enjoy seeing them flex all their chef skills and the extra prep time gives them more of a chance to do that!
Everybody goes on about how bad or boring UK food is.... but reading reviews about your app and the problems overseas subscribers have in sourcing the ingredients, which are available here in the UK. Couldn't you try a recipe where you challenge your friends in other countries, considered to be culinary capitals, a relaxed shopping spree in the morning/afternoon, then a meal prep and tasting in the evening, with a budget and availability comparison on ingredients...
Somewhere in America, a frat house is carefully building a giant, intricate tower from all their cans/tins. It will be destroyed by visiting girls, but it's a worthy effort.
@@karasekjh It was the Pass It On from the live shows last weekend. The "Power Cut" part was the theme, where they only had electricity for appliances when someone was peddling a stationary bike. They also used unlabeled mystery cans, the spices were unlabeled, flour/coconut flour/instant potatoes in unlabeled clear jars, etc.
the cherries were not really mentioned in the discussion at the end, so it seems like mike just kind of 'hid' them in the tomato sauce, while Jamie apparently managed to make all three flavours essential components to the dish and made them work well together as well. So purely based on the descriptions at the end, I was quite surprised that mike won that.
Was Kush doing an end of year stock cupboard clear out and come up with this video idea? Love it regardless. Though seeing the ingredients, I can’t imagine what horrors are about to be made 😂
I presume that these were recorded before this weekend. Ombut I can imagine using some of those unlabeled products. I can imagine that a lot is still unused.
IKR, I was hoping they swapped in another can off camera. I know many foods do stay edible long after their expiration date, but I ate an out of date Jerk chicken sauce once and got food poisoning...🤢🤮I was sooo sick. So, I'm very careful now... I also got food poisoning on an airplane that served undercooked fish.... and I actually threw up in the hotel hallway the next day... Talk about embarrassing! So, yeah, I'm very, very cautious now.
@@LadyMiir I did the second time, the first time I was in shock believing it had happened the first time. Though cool to know that it doesn’t hurt when it drops at that angle.
I think Jamie should have one, he really went outside his comfort zone and made something where the three tinned ingredients really were the main stars of the dish, instead of hiding them.
I’m honestly more impressed with Jamie’s end result not being anything but unappetizing, because with that selection I’d be more lost than Tom Hanks with a volleyball
@@TedBarton91 I did not-the phrase is intentional. "A lure in failure"-my current name is not to state failure itself to be alluring, but something else within or otherwise guiding towards. I was thinking something more physical in the metaphor I had in mind when I chose it. I was also playing on the appearance of a misspelling as a seeming failure.
@@WhatKindOfNameNow yeah and especially when Ebbers mentioned that the winner would be the one that best used all THREE ingredients and then just never mentioned the cherries, even in the wrap-up, was odd that he won.
Ben suggesting that caned hamburg and cherries could be something remotely close to Swedish meatballs is very brave for someone within raiding distance of the longships ;)
I mean, he really isn’t wrong. The flavor profiles would not be all that different. It wouldn’t be the same dish to where you could call it “Swedish Meatballs”, but to say it’s something inspired by them isn’t a big stretch.
I liked their lateral thinking on how to use the ingredients. Reminds me of when we got snowed in in my cabin up in the Glens. Didn't have the usual larder & dry-store at home, just what we'd taken up with us & an odd accumulation of tins that we'd left behind over the years. Some interesting (and delicious) creations were had over the duration.
WOW! You guys have come such a long LONG way from when my family and I first started watching. Hearing Mike talk about balancing the taste, and did you see Jamie's plating...WOW again. Seeing them knowing how to mix what together to get the taste they are looking for was wonderful. Congratulations, guys, you both did an amazing job! I really enjoyed watching this challenge.
I think Mike's dish was more transformative, and Jamie's was more celebratory. They both deserve applause for making edible dishes from random things in the time allotted - not an easy task at all.
@@kiro9291 I think he has the best balance of home cook/online professional talents. Jamie leans more towards home cook, and Baz more towards online professional. Mike is nicely in the middle, I think.
As a grocery store clerk foodsafe tip. Check your cans for hard edge dents and damage to either end. A can has a lining in it to prevent corrosion and any hard kinks in the can (not soft bends) can damage that lining. Also any damage to either end can damage the airseal leading to spoilage.
I'm so impressed with the finished dishes!! They both looked so delicious and it shows how quickly the boys can interpret ingredients! It's so impressive!
Wow! That was amazing! They both did so well. :) Love the mystery tin idea, hope you'll do that again with various combinations of normals. :) (I'd say "or chefs," but let's face it. they'd just breeze right through it and never even look inconvenienced.)
Never would’ve thought to use CHERRIES in a 🍅 meat sauce but I can see how they’re the perfect balancing act of fruity & tart to sweet & acidic tomato sauce. Clever use to make the 🍒 sing in a harmonious way👏🏽
Can’t put my finger on it, but editing looks different? More detail shots for sure, but perhaps color graded differently? Love the more adventurous angles! Love seeing y’all try new things! Maybe I’m wrong, but either way, love the video as usual!
Given Ben’s comment about how they would likely do things differently starting again; that would be a good video idea. Give them one of these difficult challenges with unusual ingredients let them finish, then tell them to try again. Point for best first dish, point for best second try, and tiebreaker is who made the best adjustments the second time through.
I fully admit the sushi scared me but the lasagna makes me hungry. But I agree garlic bread would have just lulled me into a food coma. WELL DONE!! I LOVE this idea!!
Hi guys. I think you should do more of these can roulette battles, they are so much fun. The ideas sounded strange, but the end results looked great, well done boys. Much love and respect to all the team. xxx
When Mike said he'd have to taste his dish along the way to get the flavor balance right, I thought that should work out well because Mike is good at that. Congrats on the winning dish, Mike. And truly a valiant effort by Jay who had such a daunting task ahead with his ingredients and came up with a plan that actually tasted nice at the end! Well done, boys! 👨🍳👨🍳
Genuinely a really fun and interesting video. I had a similar idea to Jaime when I saw the ingredients but mine was more just seafood sweet and sour. I never would have thought of Sushi. And Mike's lasagna was a stroke of genius. It was also nice seeing how collected they both were despite being out on the spot. Really shows how far they've come. Keep up the excellent work guys!!
I'm afraid I'm an anti-tin person. All I ever buy in tins is tuna, coconut cream, chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Now that I think about it, those could make something quite tasty.
I remember when some grocery stores would have tens with no labels set at a big discount so they could sell them. That means there was a day that you didn't know what you were getting for supper 😂
Your channel just keeps getting better and better - what a great idea!! When I used to go camping when I was younger, we used to raid my mate's mums cupboard of tins for food, she had a load of unmarked tins here husband had bought back from various jobs - so one weekend in the lake district - we lived off of custard and beans for a week!!!
Not one of you are normals anymore. Outstanding! It’s been quite the journey. I love the chef vs normal format, try doing it without recipe cards. I recon you could hold your own, Mike. Who knew that would be a thing?
Not tinned food, but do want to share my successful attempt of avoiding food waste and turning what I had in the fridge into something new. After a Christmas party we still had a lot of veggies from our veggie tray. So for dinner this week I turned it into a noodle stir fry. These were not all veggies that I would traditionally have put in a stir fry but the end result was pretty good. Only thing I might have changed was the amount and ratios of my sauce but all in all a pretty good dinner that only required me to purchase noodles we didn't have on hand. Mid-week dinner made, budget friendly, and veggies saved.
This looked liked a genuine tie to me! Both dishes look tasty and intriguing! 😄 Ive been fascinated with fruit and meat/fish combinations ever since I first tried to cook as a child. 💕💕💕
As soon as I saw Mike's ingredients, I immediately thought Swedish meatballs. 7 minutes in, Ben validates my thoughts. I should get one of them Sous Chef aprons.
Evaporated milk is perfect for making a cheese sauce: grate cheese, dust it with cornstarch/corn flour, and melt it into evaporated milk. The resulting sauce is beautifully smooth.
Loved the video! One small recommendation would be to move the holiday ad to after the intro. When I hover over the video I tend to overlook it because "oh maybe I watched this already".
Second time getting to visit london AND getting to watch a video premiere while here, it still hits different 😂 Thanks for years of entertainment guys ❤
Thank you very much for a video a day, great Christmas gift. I hope Santa is very good 2 you all and your loved ones. Have a very Merry Christmas everyone.
Some ideas for more mystery cans: 1. Canned brown bread 2. Canned bacon 3. Canned baked beans (i use canned beans for a LOT of recipes) 4. Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilis) 5. Refried beans 6. Hoppin' John (blackeyed peas, peppers, and onions)
When Ebbers said "Why not try this at home?" I was thinking: "Did he record that before the boys started?", but the end results ... well played, gentlemen. Well played.
What a triumph for the normals. Even just coming up with those ideas was impressive, but to execute (and course-correct) so smoothly - relative to other challenges, at least - is a hell of an achievement.
I loved the episode, but Bens reasoning was a mystery to me at the end... If we are talking about using all of the mystery ingredients in a meaningful way Jaime used all 3 and they were working in harmony, while Mike used 2 brilliantly and had to hide one. That was a curveball - brilliant work anyway guys, keep it up ^^
How about a mini series - this one as the 1st video. Next one - immediately after they have finished. A second version right away so to speak to see how they change/improve. Then in a month or several weeks, another round with same ingredients to show how it has changed with more thought. (and possibly home, off screen, practise). Would definitely help me grow skills in my own experimentation efforts.
You can often buy a discount case of lost label tin cans from grocery stores if you ask, (not sure if the ones around there do that, but i have seen it at several across the places ive traveled, great tip for cheap camping food potentially), so that might be a fun way to go full unknown ingredients. Food banks and similar places also have similar things at times if you get ingredients from there
At the begining i could not even envision anything resembling a meal. But for them 2 to come up with what they did and for them to taste good was so impressive.
Mike didn't even flinch when Ben smashed his finger with the can. So much trust!
He's a beast!
That suprised me too!
I wouldn't trust anyone to pull this stunt on me haha 😂
I don't think that was trust as much as impatient resignation😂
Well in his INTRO SONG "He's the MAN"
That was astounding to see.... I learned something new today! Thanks Ben (🎵He's a super geek... He's super geeky🎶)
The fact they both managed to make stuff that tastes good is WILD
We know right!? Mind blown!
Jamie’s dishing skills have come so far from what they were! His dish looked fantastic 🙏🏼
Theyve all come pretty far. I was watching some of their older stuff and ever since the ultimate chef thing they've all levelled up pretty far.but then technically they could be classed as clasically trained chefs now (albeit not on a proper chefs level).
@@creepypasta-n6h Remember when Barry pieced hot dogs together with spaghetti?
They are definitely not on that level. @@creepypasta-n6h
12 years of practice trained by the 'chef' you'd think so
They really have!

I hope Tin Roulette becomes a series. What a fun idea. And the guys did so well with it!
Glad you enjoyed it :)

100% agree. Based on what Ben was saying about who used their 3 ingredients best, I thought Jamie had to win
Jamie was robbed!

We’re all about reducing waste here 😂
Especially considering one of the tins was from 2022

Kinda interested in what was in the tins that didnt get picked.
Maybe should give Sous-Chef Barry a go at these 🤭
8:47 Mike has a lot of trust. He didn’t even flinch!
I was about to comment the same that was crazy
@@DerpyPannycake I had to rewind I was so shocked!
Right?? *I* winced at that bang! I was astonished Mike wasn't hurt! (Not that Ben would deliberately inflict harm on his friends.)
@@LadyMiir I did the second time, the first time I was in shock believing it had happened the first time. Though cool to know that it doesn’t hurt when it drops at that angle.
He also knows Ben, and knows Ben knows a lot, and knows he won't do it without discussing the idea with others to make sure there is no risk.
Jamie being the king of bold flavours picking a tin with wasabi is just 💯
Definitely 😂
Flavor 💣 Bombs💥 rule.
it was meant to be
I think Jamie should have one, he really went outside his comfort zone and made something where the three tinned ingredients really were the main stars of the dish, instead of hiding them.
His plating was also way better, that should have been taken into account
I think I'm going to feel a void in the new year when it goes back to 2-3 times a week instead of every day. Feeling spoiled with all of the content!

Jamie's tins were so unexpected, i give him props for thinking up any dish at all! Mike's were so unrelated to each other, props to him as well! 🤣😄
Yup, that was a hard task for anyone 😅
I probably would have gone a ceviche like route, with seafood and acid, but sushi seems adjacent to that as well.
I think Mike's dish was more transformative, and Jamie's was more celebratory. They both deserve applause for making edible dishes from random things in the time allotted - not an easy task at all.

I have no idea what Mike has done to Ben, but it seemed personal with the clock counting down and that power slam with the tin. 🤣🤣
Both dishes ended up looking really good, but a special shout out to Jaime who's plating looked really elegant and inviting!

always love these tinned foods videos, the boys creativity was great this episode! good job mike, no huttlestorm!
more of this series please, more mystery challenges in general!
Second time getting to visit london AND getting to watch a video premiere while here, it still hits different 😂 Thanks for years of entertainment guys ❤
Enjoy London!
Yes, that lasagna look awesome! And J's plating skills shined through here!
Fun format. And it helps to get inspiration for low budget dishes. Would be happy to see more of this
This is basically pass it on but the chaos is concentrated on one person per dish. Love it!
I could not get Uncle Vernon's "Oh Marge is ill, et a funny whelk" to stop running through my brain throughout this whole video.
Thank you very much for a video a day, great Christmas gift. I hope Santa is very good 2 you all and your loved ones. Have a very Merry Christmas everyone.
Some ideas for more mystery cans:
1. Canned brown bread
2. Canned bacon
3. Canned baked beans (i use canned beans for a LOT of recipes)
4. Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilis)
5. Refried beans
6. Hoppin' John (blackeyed peas, peppers, and onions)
Love these sort of challenges! Need a chief v chief episode now
I'm Swedish, and I'm really happy they didn't do Ben's idea. Cherry filling the role of lingon? Have you tasted lingon?
I am sure the lasagne tasted good, but to actually make sushi in that short about of time, that's amazing! Good job all round 🍍🍙
Amazing? Most of making sushi is cooking the rice...
I did not expect either of their dishes but I'm amazed they made them work.
Excellent! To see tinned burgers used that way blew my mind. Beats my on a plate with mash and peas method 😅
When Ebbers said "Why not try this at home?" I was thinking: "Did he record that before the boys started?", but the end results ... well played, gentlemen. Well played.
The guys did well huh?! That was a hard task!
i love these daily videos so much and this was such a great video concept!!! would love to see more of these!!
15:50 even Ebbers forgot the cherries
Would have liked to see Ben make something with the three left over tins
What a triumph for the normals. Even just coming up with those ideas was impressive, but to execute (and course-correct) so smoothly - relative to other challenges, at least - is a hell of an achievement.
Really enjoying the holiday day videos, they’re awesome. Please keep sharing. Today, I’d have to give it to the lasagna, it looked delicious…😋😋😋
Great idea from both! I think Jamie should've batter fried the welks to level them up a bit.
loving the daily videos guys, must me tough pumping them out so fast!
I really enjoyed this. I would love to see more Mystery Tin Challenges.
Unexpectedly positive results!! They've come a long way!!
Its a win for both in my book!
that they made something that looks delish, and is tasty.
they both deserve the win!
genuinely impressed by the boys, I woulda been stumped on both of these ingredient combinations...
look at those crazy ingredients and look at those final dishes!!! I am so proud of em
So good, right?!
Sometimes I feel bad for the things the boys have to do, then I remember they created this channel and community and I root for the chaos
Haha love this 😆
I loved the episode, but Bens reasoning was a mystery to me at the end... If we are talking about using all of the mystery ingredients in a meaningful way Jaime used all 3 and they were working in harmony, while Mike used 2 brilliantly and had to hide one. That was a curveball - brilliant work anyway guys, keep it up ^^
This was fabulous! Congrats to both of you, this was amazing!
You guys are amazing for releasing a video a day in December!
Been waiting for this for so long! Love it guys
How about a mini series - this one as the 1st video. Next one - immediately after they have finished. A second version right away so to speak to see how they change/improve. Then in a month or several weeks, another round with same ingredients to show how it has changed with more thought. (and possibly home, off screen, practise). Would definitely help me grow skills in my own experimentation efforts.
Oh my goodness, my first thought with those ingredients was also Sushi! Maybe I am learning from the normals, I can't wait to see how it turns out!
You can often buy a discount case of lost label tin cans from grocery stores if you ask, (not sure if the ones around there do that, but i have seen it at several across the places ive traveled, great tip for cheap camping food potentially), so that might be a fun way to go full unknown ingredients. Food banks and similar places also have similar things at times if you get ingredients from there
At the begining i could not even envision anything resembling a meal. But for them 2 to come up with what they did and for them to taste good was so impressive.
We need a pass it on with tinned again, see if anything changes especially with the labels off the tins
