      I'm fairly confident in the kitchen but burning bread under the grill during a very demanding recipe is something I still manage every now and again.
      For Tom who doesn't have much experience with this, simply making the soup plus listening to instructions & "performing" for camera is easily going to take his full attention.

      This description sounds a bit off, because surely ALL of them had to learn things like this? ALL of them had to follow instructions given by other people? Explaining things is both 'a calling' and a skill.

    What’s really fascinating here is that as a teacher, you’re always told how important it is to tell your kids where you’re going in the lesson - for them to be able to see at the beginning what the end-result is meant to be.

    You can only tell how much of a production a RUclips channel is once you've seen another editor's take on the material. You can see that it's probably Sorted's crew doing the actual taping, but it was totally Tom's crew who did the edit. Much less fabricated and shoe-horned urgency without the urgent music, panicky screaming and over the top faffing about. It felt much more authentic this way. Absolutely LOVED Mike's and Tom's vibe.

      Only how thick the thinnest dimension is matters for cooked vegetables, so for shallots (or any kind of onions) it doesn’t matter how thickly you slice it if it’s thicker than the natural layers of the onion are.

      And that you let knife bite evenly into whatever you're chopping (so it doesn't slide off to hit your finger) before pushing down. I can sort of do the chef-y curled finger hold of stuff unless its something tiny like gloves of garlic.. then I'll notice its getting bit close when I hit side of finger nail (still safer than cutting side of a finger, mind ya)

    That was honestly, one of the most amazing, entertaining, and delightful videos I have ever seen.
    Loads of suspense, challenges, banter, puns, and fun.
    Thank you. Thank all of you.

    OH MY GOD can we all agree that the captioners have outdone themselves this time!? Tiny subscript "much room", the clever IPA'ed "source" - I could just sit here and enjoy the subtitles if it wasn't a fun video.

    After programming all day, I got really confused when Tom started asking if things should be “on the heap”.

      Yes, just Put it on the Heap.

      When he processes cooking as he is cooking them as opposed to mise en place (the best analogy of cooking to stack vs heap)

      Is stack when you prep all the ingredients before you start applying heat, so that you don’t have to worry about something burning while you’re busy at the cutting board?
