That Joto Whiteboard would be fun to see used as a communication device during the next 'Pass It On'
I would LOVE to see that.
The Apple-only bit would be a problem there, though.
@@carmenclemons2556 I checked, it IS available on Google Play, Ebbers was wrong.
That has to be why they got it, because it has no reason to be among the kitchen gadgets.
@@Binidj I just looked and it said, This app isn's available for your device because is was made for an older version of Android. It might be my location is in Canada.
The most silly thing about the flexible lidded Tupperware was that they’d already solved that problem with their other product, the silicon bags. If you’ve a weird shaped food, put it in the sealable bag instead of a container.
YEAH THIS
The bags were great. The price was a bit steep but I thought they were a bit quick to ditch them.
@@Trendyflute Agreed. They were still thinking of them like traditional but strong bags. They can go from storing raw food, to cooking inside of it, to serving at the table, to the fridge. They're more like flexible Pyrex containers than anything else, and 10 quid for a small Pyrex container that you'll be using forever is reasonable.
I tried drinking my weird shaped soups from that bag but you need to clutch the scalding satchel right against your face and neck or it spills all down into your seat and clothes when you're on public transportation😕
I kind if like the flexible lid idea but for different reasons. One of the biggest enemies of most tupperware containers is lid sag. When you put a hot food in the fridge or a cold food in the microwave the tupperware always ends up warping due to the temperature change, and often times the lid will get hard to close or just stop working all together. I also feel like it might be feasible to microwave these tupperware without having to crack them for steep to escape, because the flexible top can expand with the steam. If you let the tupperware cool a little and wait for the steam bulge to go down the water will return into the dish instead of escaping as steam and drying out the food.
However, I wouldn’t want this tupperware to have clips. If you are going to microwave it you want the steam to be able to lift the lid for safety reasons, and I’m really not a fan of clipped tupperware in general, its too much messing around to use clips, and clipped lids are usually harder to clean and a lot harder to store.
Plus this type of lid is something I’d only want to pay for if it was competitive to some of the cheaper alternatives. I find that most tupperware is just way too expensive and never really fixes the durability issues.
Never have i wanted a gadget to fail...as much as i did the "egg bath"
It's too specific for what it wants to do...
Yeah just use an immersion circulator or a steamer
Yeah, you go to singapore or malaysia and get the eggs, they will just giv it to you in a plastic bowl with hot water with a plate covering it and tell you to wait for 5min. Never seems to fail. This seems like and over elaborated design for that and doesn’t necessarily works well.
There is already similar things to JoTo that I think operate better. They aren’t optimised for network applications like this but that’s a lot of money for what is basically a toy thing that will be forgotten pretty quickly.
I’m gonna go big on this - I’ve never seen a good egg gadget
I'm going to need you to put something tomato-y and maybe oily in the DeliOne boxes and bags and see how they do in the dishwasher afterwards because that's really the big issue I need solving 😅
I would have been really interested in that aspect. I'd have liked to see them frozen too.
They do get stained for sure after contact with tomatoes or curry.
Spray the inside of your containers with oil before you put things like curry or tomato based sauces in them......I cant imagine that these silicone bags are any more resistant to staining than others I own.
Seriously. Just wait until that soap flavor leeches into the silicone and then gets transferred to the food.
I was wondering exactly this too and was going to comment on this before I seen your comment.
Another episode of, “How long until Ebbers gets annoyed by potentially useless gadgets.” XD
YUP!
Thats half the fun of this format
the lunchbox with the stretchable lid reminds me of the "flat" lunchbox that you guys tested years ago that was basically a folder made out of the same material, that you then filed your sandwich in
That was the first thing I thought of too! Man, that's a blast from the past!
Oh yeah I remember that one!
I rewatched that episode fairly recently. Doesn't seem so long ago but actually is a good few years ago. What is time? 😅
Exactly
I've always wanted the flat lunchbox. Looked cool.
I could see the last gadget working really well for people taking care of elderly parents who don't do well with technology. If they won't check their phone to read a text and won't remember what you say over a phone call, sending a message that gets written on a white board in their home could be really handy!
Until the marker stops working or the internet disconnects just call them
@@1992djg yea seems to unrelyable for that use.
I was mainly impressed at how neat the font was because it perfectly replicates images. I could see it being useful for writing out recipes while cooking, especially if you have bad handwriting. You don't have to print out recipes and you're not playing with a device while you're cooking.
To me that gadget has more of a place in a small business like a cafe rather than at home.
@@LordDragox412 Yeah that's a "Today's Special" or "Heads up we're closing early" type board than a thing for home.
To call every single one of these gadgets underwhelming would be an understatement.
100 agree. Those stupid silicone bags and tupperware, talk about reinventing the wheel.
The selling point is sustainability not innovation 😂. While not a new idea the fact there is 0 plastic, and micro plastic are a huge problem right now, it has value.
Which is honestly good. If everything they showed was "great", it'd leave you with the feeling that they're just being paid to show things.
@@MrMartinSchou True, and frankly ever since James left, there was a time in which they had become too generous in their opinions, as far as I was concerned. So I agree it's a good thing that they actually show when they're not convinced.
@@bochapman1058 True, and I'd be totally fine if a product presented a useful spin on something that already existed, but when the products don't even properly do what they're supposed to do and yet are advertised like the best thing since sliced bread, that's when it gets disappointing.
I think Joto might be cute to stay connected to loved ones. Like, you get up in the morning and get a new message or image from your loved one - might make you feel less like they're far away
idk a phone, a screen, printer or fax machine are probably better options.
There’s so many of those kind of products and most r more fun than some random board sadly
I just bought the Malaysian version of that egg bath for literally £1. It even comes in cute yellow. And my eggs came out perfect each time.
What are they called?
Can I ask what country you're in?
And they have been around for at least 25 years. You can take anything from a different country and mark it up with a silly logo for the UK.
I'd also like to know the name for this, would love to try them and not use that piece of garbage that was croudfunded
It is called half boiled egg maker....well at least that's how it is listed in Malaysia online shopping platform. We don't need an overpriced crowd funded version of it...
Malaysian here. I would usually put one line more water than recommended... A cruder version of the eggbath would be in almost every household and costs about £2 lol. We really do like our soft-boiled eggs here. 😊
£2 is a bargain!
Do you put water in from a kettle that has just boiled or cooler water.
@@wandereruk73 straight off the boil! typically i'd pour in the amount of water to the line according the to the number of eggs.
i.e 2 eggs, 2nd line and so on forth
I immediately scroll down after seeing the eggbath to find malaysian 🤣🤣
as a Malaysian, I can confirm this comment. I grew up with the soft-boiled eggs maker as well and my family still have it.
On top of what all the other south east asian commenters are mentioning, I reckon the half boiled egg device works in SEA is because the room temperature is the same year-round. With that in mind, the lines actually indicate how many eggs you are cooking. In some coffee shops, a device similar to this sits on all the tables. When you order the half boiled eggs, water gets poured into the device and you are just handed the number of eggs ordered.
Out of interest, what temperature would that be? The 18°C in the studio seems pretty chilly (and most likely affected the eggs cooking). I'd say that typical room temperature in the UK is 20-25°C, but that's with central heating and can be much colder or much hotter (especially as air con is rare here).
@@hannahk1306 I'm not sure what the "room" temperature is, after all, wall thermometers went out of fashion a while ago. But the climate in Malaysia is 25-32°C throughout the year, if that helps
@@hannahk1306 I dunno in winter I guess it is about 16C in my kitchen (probably a fair bit lower overnight). In summer maybe upto 25C. No central heating in my kitchen.
@@hannahk1306 Here in the US i'd say its pretty typical for most houses to be between 22 and 25.5 C. You might get 18 in a really large building that's trying to pre-chill for a rush or 27ish during the summer at a place where the doors are being opened a lot, but those are going to be outliers. I had the same response as Ebbers to this gadget. I'd never want to cook an egg like this for myself. Even assuming this did work, I don't see why this gadget would be a thing anyway. If you're really going to do it why pay for something with only one function that you have to store somewhere when you could just use a bowl and a timer?
Like OP said, ok maybe in a restaurant where they're trying to be fancy, but at home? Waste of space when a bowl would work just as well. That's ofc assuming you wasted enough eggs to figure out how to even get it to work in the first place since it clearly failed several times for them.
@@andyleighton3616 Winter isn't a thing in Southeast Asia
8:45 As a Malaysian, you just pour hot water into a cup with eggs in it and let it sit. And you get the same result. For cheaper too.
It'll take a bit of experimenting to get the timing down (like with everything), but you don't need a fancy gadget to get nice half-boiled eggs.
The silicone bags have been around for years, the only difference in this one is the bamboo slider instead of plastic. I had a pack of eight, ended up giving them to a friend because of how difficult it was to stack/store in the freezer.
And the exertion Ebbers had to go through just to slide the bamboo over the silicone, makes me think they're not so great. The especially for people with grip/dexterity issues like arthritis. You can get ziploc bags with an actual zipper that are virtually effortless to close. We wash and reuse the standard 'single use' ones a few times before the plastic eventually gives up.
But yeah your point about the stacking is a problem too. If I want to freeze something in a bag, it's because I can lay it flat and stack like ten of them in a freezer drawer. I'd get two of those in there, tops.
@@FyreflierI completely agree, fridge and freezer real estate is precious. I also wash ziplock bags and reuse them.
Yeah I have a set that I never use because they're annoying to use and clean.
@@kalliste01same - and it's not like tupperware wasn't already reusable
Had them too and then changed to „Stasher“ bags. They close without fiddling the ziplock part and they are dishwasher save, so very very easy to clean. Use them for everything!
Malaysian here. That egg bath gadget is a rip off. The traditional version is something my family has been using for over 30 years. We could easily get it for less than 4 quid.
It works perfectly for us every time though
Woop, woop best part of the Sunday!
Request for an episode. I recently got the diagnosis IBS. Could you please make an episode with a couple of low fodmap dishes?
The Malaysian way of eating the half-boiled egg is a little unique compared to other parts of the world. We Malaysians love the mixture of the slightly solid white that we scrape out (like scooping mango from the skin), with the creaminess from the yolk, seasoned with soy sauce and white pepper. I would normally have a toast (kaya for the brave people) on the side to dip into this combination. And the best way to have it is with a Teh Tarik at 32 Celsius
The soft boiled egg gadget, i am willing to bet that every south east asian household has one thats 20yrs old and still working strongly. best soft boiled eggs. never gone wrong.
Something flexible that I've been using for years are refillable squeeze tubes. They are like large toothpaste tubes that you can take the end off, fill & reseal with a sliding clip. I initially bought them for taking messy stuff like butter, jam, honey, pastes...etc away camping. But they're handy in the kitchen too. Been a while since I bought my last pair, they've now gone up to about £12 for two. They are called Coghlan's Squeeze Tubes. They'd be worth trying on the show.
I immediately put this on my list to check out for kitchen/hiking purposes
Thank you! I’m going to look them up right now.
These might be magic for molasses!
I could see Joto being really useful in small cafes and bistro type deals - what's the soup of the day, what's the special today, that sort of thing; it's neater and tidier than a chalk/white board by hand but same effect and you don't need a screen and you're not paying to keep a screen on - when your cakes sell out you can update it and have it redo the board.
The Joto drawing board would make a fun food challenge. I’m thinking a combination of Pictionary and pass it on with it resulting in very fun carnage…
Happy fathers day to all the dads at the team and the community! You guys helped me put together a kickass feast for my old man! Love you guys so much❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's amazing! We hope he enjoyed it!
@@SortedFood He sure did guys! 👊👊👊❤️❤️❤️🤘
I’m just realising that the guys (and me myself) have come to that age that we’ve started to appreciate good Tupperware.
Sorry dudes, we’re officially old now. 😂
We really are 😅
Aging like a fine wine.
Do you have stasher bags in the UK? They are the best, all silicone, reusable bags I've found in the US.
I inherited some Tupperware containers from my late Aunty. She bought them in the early 1960s and they're still going strong 60 years later.
I got excited because I found nice Tupperware with the snappy clip lids on sale yesterday. And I bought 3 of them.
The whiteboard looks to me like a solution looking for a problem. With a smartphone you can just keep your shopping list on the phone (and have it ready when in the store). Or you can make shared notes and lists. There's already many apps for that, no need for a high-tech gadget.
I think it's aimed at kids...potentially...
If I was a kid when this existed, I can see my parents using it to ask for things done before they got home (like take out meat from the freezer, wash some veggies or water mom's plants cause she forgot again)
@@JennieOkami instead of just... calling/texting?
@The_Yukki there wasn't texting or wide spread cellphones to get calls when I was a kid and they couldn't drop what they were doing at work to call the house line and even if they could they had no idea when I would've been home. So notes left on the kitchen table was the best way of communication
I had bags similar to those first ones more than ten years ago, but with a plastic top strip rather than a bamboo one. They were difficult to clean, hard to close and so hard to open that I frequently spilled stuff. They don't stack and take up room in the fridge. Now I use them to store rarely-used craft supplies in the closet. I wanted them to be the solution to plastic bags, but they just weren't.
I think I have had something similar. They were as bad as you described
I have a few different brands of these silicone bags and some aren't great but I have the IKEA ones and I think they're wonderful. I use them for camping and for freezing items that I can then just pop out for school lunches. They're easy to clean by hand and sometimes I'll just throw them in the dishwasher and as long as I have them over a few tines, they stay open and come out clean.
I haven't bought cling film in about 10 years and very rarely need to buy disposable bags
I agree.
The same 😂
Yeah bought a few also. They failed to mention that required plastic sealing strip. Felt scammed when they arrived as bought because not having to find lid was a major feature.
1:27 Ebbers beign squeeky is something i didnt know i needed today😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm from Singapore, we have a traditional ceramic egg bath that does the same thing except the water doesn't drain out. Works every time. Also our chicken eggs we get are mostly the same size.
The once you can buy in the supermarket are also the same size per pack, what the boys meant is that you can get the 4 mentioned sizes, which varies the cook time
I was going to say once I saw what it was for I immediately thought “hang on how’s that new, I’ve had one of those for well over a decade now at least”.
what are they called? tried searching for "egg bath" and didn't see anything relevant. would like to see if i could get them where i live.
@@betaich Yeah I got that, it's just new to me as we don't do sizes over here. All eggs are the same size from most brands that are stocked in supermarkets. There's no such thing as S, M, L, XL for eggs lol.
@@icyheart80 SG here too, actually we do have different sizes for eggs, but it's mostly the 10-pack cartons that do it. Even then, the difference between sizes is like 5g per egg, which really isn't noticeable visually (the only reason I found out was cos I was trying to bake some recipe that stated the eggs in weight, so I started kaypohing in NTUC).
19:00 I actually have a whiteboard in my kitchen. Super useful. I replaced one of the cupboard doors with a trimmed out whiteboard & we use it in my house daily to track groceries, pet meds, write notes to one another. Super useful
14:00 what is so weird about this though is that after showing a method to "poach in the shell" I've been doing poached eggs by putting them into a ceramic bowl, covering with boiling water, then placing a ceramic plate over them.
This does produce a noticeably different result than a "soft boiled egg" where the white is more set and the yolk runny, the poached in the shell egg you just crack and the white is still soft and floppy, how a poached egg is.
However it did take some "eggsperimentation" in order to get the timings right, and I do have to use fridge kept eggs (in order to ensure the same temperature to start at, as room temperature varies year round, and the start temperature affects the cook time required) as well as the exact same type of ceramic bowl because slightly larger or smaller affects how much water I can get in and how much temperature travels into the egg presumably, and of course the same size eggs.
But now I can finally get perfectly poached eggs, every time, without any fannying around with vinegar and swirling water or poaching bags or anything ridiculous. Just start the lunch, assemble it all, and then time it so the egg can be cracked on nice and warm and enjoyed immediately! 🥰
The whiteboard could be a really cool tool for a remote control episode. Ben can only give orders through the whiteboard! Maybe as a 5 minute penalty or something if a full episode is too clunky.
Thats a genius use...
With how long it took to draw the chilli, it'd be a 5minute penalty for 1 command.
I have to imagine the the Joto would be good at Cafe or Restaurants with a changing daily special.
The shown half-boiled egg results are pretty normal over here in SEA kopitiams (coffee shops that serves typical Asian fare), it is almost expected to use a tea-spoon which accompanies the usual cup of black coffee to scoop out the whites. The yolk coming out intact is ideal, though all runny is fine too because you would typically mixed it up anyway on a plate with a splash of light soy sauce and white pepper powder.
Costco 🇨🇦 has an 18 piece snapware glass storage set similar to the first two for $44.99. They are dishwasher safe and can be put in the oven without the plastic lids. I have had a set for 10 years now and they are still as good as new. The best thing about them is how well they stack both in the cupboard and the fridge/freezer.
I have this set and they're great at home but they're heavy. I love silicone bags when camping. They take up less space when empty, weigh less and are easier to "shove" into a cooler or rv fridge. You can remove the air from it to make it take less room if it's not full (vs a container which takes up the same amount of space if it's 10% full or 100% full
I wonder if the Joto could be used for a new type of video format--cooking by following cryptic hand drawn clues sent by a chef who's not even in the room...
Ooh! Yes I'd love to see the guys try that. I can't really think of a way to justify a purchase like the Joto when you can get a magnetic white board to pop on your fridge - no where near as cool obviously
@@ashbunny2645 Or you could buy a tablet or Amazon device and have several other functions for 1/4 the price.
I can see that last gadget leading to some potentially hilarious times in PIO or episodes where Ben leaves the normals a challenge to cook up while he's out!
Have they done a pio where they have to use gadgets from the tested gadgets videos? They each have to add their choice of gadget?
@@merrinatrixthey did a battle based on it a while back but not sure about a PIO. Agree though, its a really fun idea
Since I´ve found this channel I basically started binge watching the videos. I love the variety in content and dishes, the entertainment, the friendship and the love for food any minimising food waste and waste of money on useless gadgets. Thank you all!
The bags seem really great if you for instance need to bring food with you, like lunch to work. Since once it's gone it'll take up a lot less space than something like a reusable plastic box.
Stasher is another great silicone bag. It doesn’t have the bamboo slider but it’s a certified B corporation which is pretty cool.
love how the least kitcheny gadget is also the best one of the episode
As far as the price for the silicon bags, if it truly has 5000+ re-uses, I think the investment would be fine. I would like to see a short where you test if throwing it across the room really keeps it sealed like the video suggested, even though the cuts between the throw, air-time and catch were very evident. (I kind of just want to see is splatter everywhere.)
Different brand, but I stored tomato sauce in one in our trailer and with the drive, it shifted and fell out of the fridge when we opened the door. Nothing spilled. Not all brands are created equal but some definitely are water tight.
Silicone*
Late to the party, but that white board is pretty awesome. Like the idea of having it set up so grand kids can send their doodles and it draws them like that? Wholesome to the extreme. Like that is something that I think could sell really well if they marketed it right as a gift. The Price is insane though...
I have all my recipes on my computer so that Joto would be pretty useful to me. I don't like faffing with phone/tablet screens while I'm cooking so finding and sending a recipe to the kitchen before I start cooking would be great!
For a smaller price a small TV and something like a chromecast will do the job far better.
I have a printer.
3 useless (or overpriced) products, but still fun to watch with you guys. Thanks for shwoing these gadgets!
“That’s hot soup! YOUR CHILD!” lmao I love Baz
In Germany egg-boiling-gadgets are relatively common. They usually fit six eggs and have a little measuring cup for the water where you can specify the number of eggs and whether you want them soft, hard or in the middle. They work but I still think a pot works just as well. They’ve been around for decades though, not crowdfunded.
@@stanvanillo9831 like I said, I think they’re a bit useless in general. But you’re right, they don’t have a setting for half-boiled.
@@glockenreinours has that in it's instructions, for big Sunday family breakfast it's more important than a toaster, I appreciate having one
@@fionafiona1146 my concern is mostly how much space they take up in a cupboard. A pot I have anyway and I can fit 8 eggs into my pot (I know that because my egg salad recipe calls for 8 eggs 😅).
@@glockenrein the more people are in your household the simpler it is to justify, especially when it's a "set and forget" situation and you can get 40 eggs to salad consistency with 5 itterarions
I could see the Joto being used in a restaurant or shop to highlight certain items on a menu, like the 'special of the day,' 'soup of the day,' or to promote discounted items, etc... Rather than hiring someone to come in and do artsy lettering and art on a chalk board or window (if you're not artistically inclined), I could see this being a potentially cost saving way to do it yourself, despite the initially high purchase price.
I can't even make ice in a silicone tray without the taste of it leaching in and spoiling them for me. I can't imagine trusting the stuff with leftovers.
It's not as bad with cooked food, the flavor is easily covered up. The bigger taste can be that it retains some from the previous contents, which can transfer. But for most cooking that's not noticeable at all. But I guess you'd want to avoid using it with delicate flavors.
To Barry: My condolences on the loss of your chickens. I'm glad Mr. Fox wasn't able to get some of them, but that doesn't change the fact that he got the rest of them. They were very beautiful silkies, and I'm sure they will remember you, your lady, and young one as wonderful, caring owners.
I had bags like those, bit they had a plastic slide seal. Total pain in the behind when they were cold or frozen. Hopefully the bamboo slides work better!
So did I any liquid ended up everywhere. Try zip top they are brilliant
So did I. But if those bags work as well as it looks like they look, I would buy them in a heartbeat!
First item looks very interesting but my issue with silicone is it absolutely stinks after a while. No amount of washing will remove the small or left over ragu or curry
I’ve learned about crowdfunded gadgets thanks to this channel and now I’m thoroughly invested. Also, Ben needs to give us some new meme templates.
Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the Community.
The Joto would be really cool to display specials at a Café
the expensive half-boiled egg machine is so funny because you can get them for so cheap in Malaysia xD I used to have a tiny one that I brought to the UK and it was amazing, I kind of miss it, and it wasn't exactly expensive so it's such a funny gentrification of something we've had for decades
Anyone else love that Jamie is still sore about the rice cooker.
Think someone on the team just wanted to get that last one for themselves
For anyone keen to make those half-boiled eggs, don't worry about the whites overcooking and sticking to the shells! This is simple working class food, no one expects 100% perfect texture. We all just make it using boiling water into a container/bowl and sit for a few mins, scraping the shells is part of the process. Granted I've seen the chain eateries use sous vide immersion circulators... But their business relies on them nailing that exactly, and they're also doing high volume production every day, it makes sense for them.
I'm so happy that Barry actually tells it like it is! Loved the video!
We totally should keep calling him Berry.
@@zoekm Thank lol!
What a coincidence, landed in India from my vaca in Malaysia about an hour ago and here you go featuring a gadget for the jammy egg from Malaysia 😂😀
Edit : to all Malaysians in the comments, what an amazing country you have there.. 😍
For some reason-watching this very lovely episode- I was reminded of Chef vs Internet. I would love for that series to come back! I remember how much I loved it
I like the last one with the idea of sending messages or artwork to loved ones like a surprise…
I love soft boiled eggs and we never waste the whites stuck to the shell, always scrape it off, it's still delicious.
I do like the idea of the food container with the stretchable lid. Maybe I just have more oddly shaped left overs. It would be really useful when we have leftover lechon or crispy pata or pineapple or half a roast chicken. An 1.5ml ice cream tub does the job, too, to be fair.
I liked the stretchy lid too, particularly if you don't have much storage space and can't really be doing with lots of different sizes of container. I like the fact they work as regular sized containers and then when you get a weird thing.... Still the same container. I felt they were rather harsh on the imagined use case there.
Try them out, they already exist!!
@@outogetyougotyou5250 i have seen them online. Will see if a version is available in my country
@@elizabethheyn5365 Best of luck :)
From ‘soggy bottom’ to ‘anything sticky round the rim’, we grew up. Happy Father’s Day to SortedFood Bois (Also, Ben does count ‘coz Tyrone)
The Soggy Bottom Boys - "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow" is now playing over & over in my head...thank you 😆
Now when u mentioned him, where has Tyrone gone? 🤔We never hear of him anymore 😂
I forgot about Tyrone. Apparently so did Ben!
@@erinhowett3630 He's just a bad man who has abandoned Tyrone & let him go feral in the kitchens of London as a pot washer!😆
I hope Tyrone is doing well wherever he is.
Ben you need to do better. This is how parents end up abandoned in retirement homes.
Malaysian here. I wouldn’t say that the egg gadget was a fail because thats how we eat soft boiled eggs haha! Crack them in a small bowl, and splash with light soy sauce and white pepper. Omg yum!!!
With so many of these gadgets you could just get an immersion circulator and it'll be PERFECT.
I use a different brand of silicon bag a lot. They’re great
The silicone bags are cool but only if they were a 1/3 the price.
Definitely!
Cool whip & ice cream plastic bowls = *free* "sustainable" containers. 😂👍
Technically, that is how I expected the eggs to turn out from the egg bath. because in SEA, we use a really basic thick plastic jug, pour boiling water over the eggs, let them sit for about 15mins then crack them and the consistency is a bit thicker than the one in the video but it is still runny and we mix them all up with soy sauce, white pepper in a plate and dip with toasted white bread. Hahaha just look at any SEA coffeeshop for kaya toast and egg set
For the bamboo bags, I'd like to see a to see a good test of the waterproof ability of it, like they did with the Tupperware
I actually quite like the silicone containers and the Joto, but they're both crazy expensive to me. The Joto being that is understandable but *£31* for fancy tupperware is painful
I have a couple of stretchy silicone lid storage things - but mine are from Aldi, cost about $4 and are specifically designed to store like half an onion or half a lemon for example when you don't use the whole one. In those instances, they are great! For larger items, just get a bigger box.
The silicone bags have been available for like 5 years. There are dozens of brands and price points.
I like them better than other reusable ziploc because they are easier to seal. Use them all the time for everything.
Tupperware has a set of 3 for SEVENTY EUROS!!!! THEY ARE INSANE (silicone bags)
That's CRAZY!
@@SortedFood and that was the sales price at -15% 😱😱😱
Can I just take this moment to profusely thank the person who writes the subtitles. I’ve just launched a UA-cam channel and seeing first hand how blimin annoying and fiddly it is to write subtitles (taking away the fact I’m deaf, that didn’t make much difference) wow they make it hard! I was already appreciative, but even more so now knowing how fiddly it is! ❤
I know! Spanish is My first language and these subtitles help si much! You're the Best girl❤❤❤❤❤
@@danielsantiagourtado3430I so wish other big UA-cam channels knew how much human written subtitles help a range of people! They are so much better than auto subs but seeing how fiddly it is to do, I have a renewed appreciation for sorted doing them.
@@alexdavis5766i always have! They are the Best For a reason!
Bamboo in the kitchen is always go moldy for me. Cant imagine these things lasting long in the fridge for example.
That sad fanfare music while cracking eggs was hilarious and i replayed that moment couple of times for more giggles :DD
I want those reusable bags! Also happy fathers day, the fathers.
Love the gadget videos. How about doing a "pro gadget vs. home gadget" video.
Greetings from Oz... (Australia for those not up with the vernacular)
Just found your channel and am LOVING the content!
Can I say, not all plasticware is Tupperware (which is a copyrighted brand)... as a 60 something, quickly approaching a 70 something, I recall the extortionate prices we paid for plasticware back in the 60s and 70s because the ONLY purveyor was Tupperware!
I still have some of the products of theirs I bought at the ubiquitous party-plan gatherings, which is a testament to their quality.
BUT I am seriously stoked that the range and quality of current day plastic storage containers has improved and increased exponentially - and the current offerings are at a fraction of the price!
Don't give Tupperware the credit for ALL current plasticware on offer!
Decor, Sistema, Lock & Lock, OXO just to name a few are wonderful storage solutions and deserve to get credit for their products as well as saving households hundreds of dollars!
And now we have silicon... which is a new and exciting food storage, heating, serving concept - thus the reason for my post.
Another good thing with the flexible lid, is that it diminishes the amount of air sealed in the container... therefore keeping the food fresher for longer than a regular sized one
Food Bag with the Bamboo Seal has my attention. I love it! Tupperware found shaking 🔥
P.S. It could be used in space given their temperature range.
I've got some silicon bags which seal air tight, which also makes them great for marinating with low amounts of marinade as you can squeeze out all the air.
The Joto Whiteboard looks like an interesting twist to maybe coffee shops or bakeries or restaurants, to display seasonal menus or promos. Maybe being able to add color, or even detaching the printer from the board...
They maybe got into something usefull for business owners
Can we just say thank you for the honesty these guys and girls bring to every video. When a pass it on fails, they say so, when a gadget is crap they say so.
I'm guessing they aren't Uber levels of rich but also not exactly on the breadline yet they say £30 for tupperware is a no because normal people can't spend that or won't. Thank you Sorted. This honesty in a world of commercialism and trends and adverts is incredible.
Maybe this is an overly serious comment for a UA-cam video with that in mind. Ebbers your innuendos complete me
"We cooked it in a rice cooker.... the proper way"
Someone's been told off by Uncle Roger a few too many times it seems hahaha
i mean, i get that it's a bit of a joke n such but i honestly fail to see how it's the proper way, it's not exactly a traditional cooking equipment.. how old can a rice cooker be? not much older than ww2 i'd say if even close to that old. and to be frank, i find that doing it the regular way we usually do it in western countries works perfectly if you actually know what you're doing or atleast dont run away from the kitchen (then there's also the whole indian part of the arguement aswell, think it was northern indians but i might be wrong there i remember it being somewhere in that region tho, where they cook rice like we would pasta roiling boil then drain off and it works for them so) a rice cooker does nothing cooking-wise that a pot with a lid cant do, it at most turns itself off so it doesnt burn, that's the one thing it does that you couldnt get from a regular ol pot with a lid
Some of the most useless crowdfunded stuff at the highest prices. Sack it all!
This is possibly the only series I've watched non stop for years on UA-cam
My criminal mind instantly imagined someone hacking drawing board and writing "Mommy doesn't love you" as a cruel prank.
Seeing Barry cracking eggs leads me to share a technique for doing that I just learned after 60's years. Simply crack 2 eggs together. The egg with the hardest shell will always crack the egg with the softest shell. I've tested this with cracking a raw egg against a boiled egg and the boiled egg's shell cracked. I know it seems weird but it really works.
Thanks for showing these. Always interesting.
the “egg bath” has been in singapore ever since i was a kid and the first eggs came out pretty how we have it, some parts are cooked more than the other, scrapping the shells are a pretty normal thing to do. though it was never 19 pounds..
The white board would definitely be good for specials at a restaurant
"I'll be home for storytime" - perfect to send a message to the child you left alone at home who needs YOU to read them a story. Loved the video lads even though the last three items were worse than useless.
I have an egg cooker that plugs in and you put water in a reservoir and it steams the eggs, also based on how much water you put in it. It actually works really well and costs less than the one you tested! I really like it, it uses a lot less water than you’d need in a pot, and it’s pretty accurate.
Deli containers are a option to use as food storage that use minimal plastic to make, but can still seal, stack and be easily washed and reused over and over. Chefs often use them, and professional kitchen certainly do. And for the egg, I'm wouldn't be surprised if the chilly room temp was causing some issues! But those eggs still looked half boiled, you just run a spoon inside the egg shell and you have a lovely soft poached egg texture.
If the price was for a mass produced version, not a crowd funding price, I would buy my Mum the second one, the Tupperware with the stretchy top. Like if they were regular Tupperware prices. The number of times I've been at their house and struggled to get a Tupperware from her large collection that irregular things fit in! I might even buy some for myself too.
these might just be my favourite video theme...keep them coming!
I have a traditional Malaysian egg bath, yes the yellow ones. Use it almost every morning and love it. I think it's more a nostalgia thing than anything else
Really all you need is some glass jars, for storing food, fermenting etc. Glass bowls with lids to store at home, I use those for keeping pizza dough balls too.
And finally if you take lunch to work, just regular plastic container with a tight lid that has clasps is all you need. Or if you assemble some more fancy meals, proper lunchbox with separators inside.
The sealable bags are amazing
