Barry's kettle on the hob is definitely breaking the rules, he essentially made a pot out of it
Yep, Barry is being a Barry.
Disqualify that Barry!!!!
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.
you even refered to it as a kettle so I think its more bending the rules rather than breaking them. but then again, he shouldnt had used the stove, only the kettle XD
@@nolansykinsley3734 yes I agree its just a source of heat, he is still using a kettle, therefore not breaking the rule
If he hadn't needed the hob i would say bending but with that he broke the rules.
Its like the adults have gone out and the kids have been left to fend for themselves 😂😂😂
That’s exactly what has happened!
Googling how do I make… in a microwave 😂
@@devangoad It reminded me of when I was younger and banned from using the stove/oven. My mom bought me a microwave cookbook because she knew I wouldn't listen 🤣
The monkeys are running the zoo.
Edit
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
"Deglazing the kettle" sounds like a euphemism that nobody asked for.
Jamie desperately trying to grab his toast as he makes it pop out of the toaster while saying they’re definitely still normals is the most NORMAL behaviour
Kinda expected him to use a fork... but that was even better
"We're not chef-y at all!" -- then cook dishes with the wrong equipment that I couldn't manage with the right equipment.
Barry, Jamie and Mike when there are no chefs in the building: In our defense we were left unsupervised😅
That is my excuse for everything. i once got asked to change my t shirt on a plane as it read " I Cause Safety Briefs " also true
I have a T shirt that says that 😂😂
I might buy that t shirt somewhere 😂
I love their shrieks of joy when something actually works.
I did miss the guys explaining the rules. I know it's in the title but it's helpful to hear them say exactly how what they had in mind
Don't sure if I am only one who thinks this but like the preview at the start of the video. 🤷
Really zero intro!?
for me, the point of the brief was a restriction on the heat sources used, not the cooking vessels used... so Barry's hob usage was a break of the rules, whereas the frying pan on top of the toaster was totally within the spirit of the rules
then they need to specify electrical stuff only. the brief was the instruments only, kettle, microwave toaster. the method of use or heating isnt specified
@@sams-pg7hj agree.. there was no restriction on the source of heat
well they never said that did they? In the no pot no pan episode they used a bowl to make Polenta, same idea.
@@sams-pg7hj If it's not meant to be a restriction on electrical stuff, then they all cheated by using knives, bowls, chopping boards, etc!
@@DumbMuscle that’s different. That’s prep items. For actually cooking the stuff, only the three items were allowed
The only word I can used to describe this is "unhinged". And I'm completely here for it. Well done gang
The boy’s creativity in this was amazing! Better than their last kettle, microwave, toaster battle for sure. Mike is an ultimate winner, the bread and caramel were so impressive
This is actually such a lovely community - none of the top comments are saying which one they think is the worst, its all just commenting on how unhinged the entire episode was 😂
Things I never thought I'd hear Jamie say "I've got to deglaze my pan oh I mean my kettle" lol 🤣🤣🤣
Barry's bearnaise sauce makes me want an episode on various ways to make bearnaise, and which ones are "good enough". You can buy store bought. You can buy powders. You can do it like Barry did. You can do it the "proper" way. There are a ton of "cheats" that people claim are good and easier than the "proper" way.
Oo yes this would be great and also maybe they can explain the difference between bernaise, hollandaise, roux etc
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).
Ok, but it's always just a bit funny when you see a reduction gets reduced to....burnt bits on the bottom of the pan. I'm always for the traditional way when it comes to béarnaise. It's like a self-dare, how far do I dare to reduce the vinegar 😂😂😂
Invite Joshua Weisman and have him "Do it better" as part of the lesson
Make it a “fool the chef” episode. Give the boys a bunch of packaged sauces and make them create dishes.
Gah, you were literally close to following your brief for a change, but then Barry happened! 🤣 Using a forth electrical cooking device is definitely breaking the rules.
I agree that Barry's assessment "It is an oil bomb" was correct HOWEVER........ Barry BREAKs the rules here. And I love it that Mike was sure it would be horrible and it turned out so well. All that aside - damned good job guys. It looked really tasty.
Then a convection microwave shouldn't have been allowed either. It should have been the everyday microwave that Barry used for his Bernanise sauce.
@@OccasionalVloggerI'm not entirely sure, but I think that's a microwave/oven combo, so you can use just the microwave part, which is what Mike did.
@@Tongle07 depends on how the microwave part works, most likely its through convection which would be breaking the rules too
@@Tongle07 You can't put metal in a microwave. He just used an oven and called it a microwave.
@@Gizza85 untrue. You shouldn't, because some metals in certain shapes will absolutely wreck it. but not all metals, and even usually "incorrect" metals like iron can be used with certain shapes. Fork? absolutely not, the thin edges will cause sparking and the tines will arch electricity. Sheet pan? Generally, yes. there are metal racks you can get for microwaves that operate just fine with no arching, and in fact quite a few steel containers widely available that're microwave safe. It's all about the edges. He says he used the microwave function, and everyone in the room agrees.
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.
I love these ridiculously silly restrictive battles 😂 watching you 3 try to make recipes in unusual and ridiculous appliances is exactly what I needed today😂😂 The fact that you were able to make anything is hilarious. I think
Baz is breaking the rules.. no hob means "NO HOB!"
insert people in comments saying "they didn't say no hob" though it seems most people agree in the spirit of the battle it was implied no hob.
Barry as usual does whatever he feels like, while Jamie and Mike try their best. Barry will never learn until he is held to account
Mike, once again proving why he's my Sorted Sous Chef
fun fact: there are now a couple of brands of microwave safe stainless steel containers. no special coating, just math on how to shape the metal to NOT induce arcs. They work lovely.
Sounds scary but i'll look into it! Thank you!
They've even reviewed some gadgets that allow cooking steaks in microwaves)
@@ludmillashapovalova7168 True but im still super nervous about it lol i think its the childhood ptsd creeping from when put a spoon in the microwave.
Paul Hollywood will have a stroke watching Mike bake bread. I love it, BRAVO!
Maybe next season we'll see a technical, "Bake bread in microwave." That'll be the entirety of the instructions.
I love this video! I used to help teach people how to cook using all sorts of appliances instead of the normal stove/oven situation. It was in a low income area which was also a food desert. 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.
You should share some tips!
Gotta love the chaotic videos once in a while - this is why Sorted is the best thing going. One minute we are testing 7-course Michelin Star boxes, the next - BARRY IS BREAKING THE RULES AGAIN IN A SILLY FORMAT.
You should do an alphabet challenge. Each choose a letter at random and every ingredient has to start with that letter.
EVERY ingredient. no salt or pepper or oil, if that is not your letter.
@@robopecha they need to specify if they could also use like Green Pepper if their letter was G not P, or if it only applies to the exact ingredient for the letter., P for Pepper, not the type or color
Or a whole meal where every letter must be represented by an ingredient and they have a time limit to design the menu.
@@sams-pg7hj correct. has to be specified. there has to be some rule, otherwise they will just make up words to put in front.
Or they each pick a letter and they only three lettered startinf ingredients
I really like the “no testing” of this challenge and do hope the normals do a lot more challenges like this going forwards, without having the team test them in the kitchen. It makes the whole thing a lot more intense because you can’t guarantee that all of their shenanigans will work.
While Barry definitely broke the rules, the food he made seemed really interesting and honestly reminded me of some Japanese restaurants where you cook your food at your table. On the flip side, I was sure Jamie's kettle was going to blow up, but the fact it turned out as well as it did blows my mind. And, naturally, Mike's French toast looked absolutely amazing. Well done all 'round!
5:44 lol, replaying Barry’s excited squeal
Barry broke the rules, but also avoided clean up. Mike definitely took this battle by leaps and bounds.
Some might argue that they need to battle for that red apron........
I think Jamie's beard is in danger...
Barry didn't break the rules he used a kettle that would be like saying no electricity! Which I think they should do - power cut battle!
@@Kez_abi he's allowed to use the kettle but not allowed to use the hob
@@Kez_abi There's a key part to a video saying "Microwave, Kettle & Toaster". They're allowed to use a kettle, no one said it couldn't be electric. Jamie played it smart, Barry just straight cheated and tried to flower it up.
The thought process and psychology of each are off the charts today…Barry: miraculous confidence, Jamie: belief in the impossible, Mike: depression and what’s the opposite of confidence? 😂 love to see their projects work out when they do!
sinfidence?
cause con = with so sin = without? sry imma show myself out
I think this is best embodied at 6:24, where mike is fully spiralling and it cuts to baz basking in his own genius 😂
Mike: "I've knocked up a bread dough."
Literal baby in the oven.
I love the throwback 3 man battle where you all cook at the same time. some of the best videos on sorted
Mike’s was definitely the winner today. Fantastic dish despite the odds
He's got the red apron and yet he has to resort to cheating to try and win?! I demand a recount! I believe there has been some fraudulent activities to earn Barry that red apron if he has to cheat in this video he should have the honor stripped away!
Mike's "microwave" was closer to an oven than an actual microwave, I'd say mike cheated
@@blujay1304 good point. Although, I think it is technically a microwave. But definitely bordering on cheating.
Hob = breaking the rules
Pan on toaster = totally fine
Also, AMAZING video!
See if he put that kettle on the toaster I wouldve been all for it. But the hob was a gadge too far
Barry used a heat source like Jamie did with the base of his kettle. It doesn't say no hob it just says kettle microwave and toaster only and Barry used a kettle!
I have to agree. And I must say, that's the best looking camp kettle ever! So shiny and no dents.
@@Kez_abi The heating element in an Electric Kettle is in the bottom of the Kettle itself, not the base it sits on.
disagree. The rule is just it has to be cooked in a kettle, microwave or toaster. It was still cooked in a kettle.
Barry’s 100% breaking the rules but I like his logic behind it 😂
I think Jamie's spot on with this. Barry was definitely break the rules because he used the hob while Mike was bending it.
Jamie at 3:03 pulling that face to the camera following mike saying he's taking the internets advice knowing full well he's about to put garlic into a kettle is a thing of beauty
I couldn't agree more
Barrys excitement over the burnese after he thought it was ruined 😂😂😂 that scream he did reminded me of Ross from Friends when he gets excited with Phoebe an Rachel (cos they trying to stop him seein Monica an Chandler) 🤣🤣🤣🤣 x
This was just the best. Thanks Normals.
Jamie's making a savory main dish, Mike's baking and Barry is as ever the wild card. 😂
The sound out of Barry when he realized his sauce had worked must've woken up every dog in London lmao. He also ABSOLUTELY broke the rules. XD
Barry absolutely broke the rules using the hob. Othewise it was amazing to see everything they made, knowing full well they used only the microwave, kettle, and toaster. Brilliant! More challenges like this, please.
I love the creativity!! Defenitely just bending the rules.
The fondue looks delicious, but if you were to do this at home, I recommend using a fondue set just for safety.
The other dishes look delicious too. But I don't know if it would be even safe to try at home
All of them have come a long way. These are all very impressive dishes.
"I feel like its gonna explode" thats how every episode should start😂😂
Although Barry's sauce in a microwave was impressive, he did break the rules by using the hob with his 'camping kettle' (which looked suspiciously brand new and has never seen a campfire), whereas Mike just bent them a bit with the skillet on top of the toaster. Winning order: Mike, Jamie, Barry.
Eh, I wouldn't rate the metal kettle any less in the spirit of the challenge than the specialized microwave that allows steel bread pans.
@@coreymorse1347to be fair, my microwave can take metal. I didn't then and I still definitely do not intend to bake bread in it, so it wouldn't surprise me if the boys also opted for one for unrelated reasons
Mike was still utilising the toaster to heat the food, Barry was using a separate heating element rather than the appliances that the challenge was intended for.
@@cass2239 incorrect very smart person that electric tea kettle just has a stove element in the bottom of it making it a stove with a kettle on it so anyone who used the kettle with the range built in was also breaking the rules
@@VineyardGHS "built in"
Jamie's udon seabass was very creative and I can imagine seeing this in a restaurant. Great job from everyone!
Loved this one! Crazy how many of the foods worked out, even when it didn’t look like they would 🙌
13:04 Barry's "bending!" cracked me up. Though to clarify, in my opinion, Mike bent while Barry broke. Disqualification or at least last place for him. Mainly because Mike bent when his plan wasn't working, while Barry intended to use the hob all along.
I disagree.
no, I believe he want to put it in a microwave or electric kettle just like jamie's. BUT, putting that amount of oil and heating it WOULD be a safety hazard. So do you really think barry would just ignore that and blow up the studio or, getting similar results and understanding through using different heat source while maintaining safety?
Mike's cooking took place in a pan at the end there, not in a toaster, kettle, or oven. Barry's kettle didn't have it's own hear source, but the cooking still took place in the kettle.
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 think Barry broke the rules with his kettle-shaped pot on the hob, but at the same time I think he intended to put the oil in an electric kettle - but this would be too dangerous to experiment with.
@@kimsubaki6389 "Uh yeah, Ebbers? It's Baz. Listen, the studio's gone but at least I didn't break any rules."
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
this video is actually amazing im so impressed
It’s incredible what you guys were able to pull off!
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).
The spirit of challenge seems very clearly "don't use a stove or oven", not "your cooking vessel must be a particular shape". Barry used a stove. Mike used the toaster, creatively.
The ad that played for me was a full episode of an animated spiderman show. Full 25min episode. I took screen shots it was awesome. Sorted with a spiderman intermission. Great episode also. I am definitely trying the microwave bread!
That squeal Barry made gave me life 🤣🥰
Am I alone in noticing Barry taking a bite of the red peppe chunk he had in hand while marveling at Mike making caramel... and then skewering that same piece to cook and serve?
"no chefs in the building" means that there's a high chance for some chaos. hell yeah 😂😂
For the bearnaise, should have only melted the butter in the microwave. Then whisk fast and pour the butter slowly to the rest.
One thing im really jealous is these guys gather and doing that stuff and their wifes/partners cant say anything as this is a job! 🤣🤣 Love you guys keep up the great videos
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THESE BATTLE VIDEOS!! :D
We adore you!!!
Barry!! Used!! A!! HOB!!!!
That was a very obvious way of breaking a rule guys
I love that together they made like a really nice 3 course meal 😂😂
In my head this challenge feels like it's all about what you could get away with in a college dorm. So Barry wouldn't be able to use his kettle with either the hob or a campfire! Mike using a pan over a toaster, totally fine!
I love how ridiculously insane this is!!! No chef would ever consider these techniques! It’s hysterical!
All three dishes were SO impressive, the boys were in top form!
I imagine all the people living in dorms and other types of places without access to a proper kitchen draw quite a bit of inspiration from these. I wonder if they could do a series of these where they show ways of making meals planned on being cooked with things dorm rooms allow?
In terms of following the rules: Jamie wins.
In terms of impressiveness while following the rules: Barry
In terms of Mike: baking bread without an oven or traditional heat source is neat.
That Baz squeal 😂
Like a kid at Christmas!
He was so happy!
I love the creativity !! Especially Jamie’s use of the kettle! Super impressive guys☺️
More battles like this please
Mike definitely deserved this win; baking bread and making toffee in the microwave and coming out with a complete dish is a fantastic accomplishment.
Barry - I'm going to say it - only _bent_ the rules, didn't break them, for the same reason Jamie using a kettle to do a boil didn't break the rules. So he's in the running.
But who loses? Jamie went outside his usual comfort zone with the seafood and improvised with the kettle enough to bring out a beautiful dish (and I believe it would have been safe to eat even without microwaving). Barry pulled off an amazing base hollandaise in a microwave and toasted his veggies with the toaster. The fondue was a clever idea, but it's not really walking out of the appliance safe zone - if he'd pulled a cheese fondue instead, I might've been more impressed.
To me, Jamie takes this one, and Barry is the loser, but by a very very thin margin.
I'm not even 5 minutes in but this is easily one of the most hilarious battles you've ever done.
Barry is 100% breaking the rules as the only electrical appliances you could use were a Microwave, Kettle & Toaster.
Furthermore he could have put it over the toaster for heat coming from underside.
That wasn't specified
it never said that the theme was electrical and it said he could use a kettle. never said he had to use it in a standard way, or how it had to be heated.
@@sams-pg7hj True. but he was not allowed to use anything other than a Kettle, Microwave and a Toaster, so using a HOB to heat the kettle broke that rule.
@@Ishlacorrin how do you think people used a kettle before electricity? the kettle is about it's shape and spout and what standard use it has, not what they used it for
Mike and Barry both got very lucky when it comes to using the tools at hand Barry to make his sauce there and Mike to make his bread.
I’m so impressed with Mike and Jamie
Barry can go home with his camping kettle lol
Nope. Absolutely absolutely broken! TAKE THE APRON!!
Also Jamie, I notice the lid stayed on that kettle! ;) haha.
Barry definitely broke the rules no question about it, the moment i saw the camping kettle i knew he should be disqualified for such blatant disregard for a competition, also as punishment, Barry has to do a recipe from any chef book on his own while Jamie and Mike criticise him on the side lines
Creative use of in-game mechanics. Barry bent the rules and made it work.
The funniest part is. Barry could have heated the oil... carefully... in the oven or the electric kettle too.
In a microwave, you need to mix intermittently so that it doesn't get a super heated spot
Barry didn't just break the rules, he shattered them and then danced on the pieces.
No he didnt
Did he use a kettle? He did. It's bending the rules at most. Unless they specify "Microwave, Toaster or an *Electric* Kettle", then a normal kettle is within the rules.
@@pirig-gal i agree word and wording are importent
@@pirig-gal I don't see stove in that list of appliances
@@Alter292 I don't see a skillet/pan either. Your point?
That is definitely BREAKING the rules. 🤣At that point its just a pot with a spout on it.
"I'm relying on science... and I've done no research." This is why we love and fear you sometimes Barry.
Both Mike and Barry broke the rules. The toasts were made with a toaster AND a pan, while the hot oil was made hot with a kettle AND a hob.
I love these kind of battles.
Rules were broken. I’d have allowed the kettle only if he heated it using the toaster
Mike ABSOLUTELY deserves the win here - even if it was a series of miracles. LOL
I think while Barry's sauces in a microwave was brilliant - he DID technically break the rules, so I think he loses by default - even if Jamie's was essentially bowl ramen that wasn't instant, but the cooking methods would be EXACTLY what I used to do in my college dorm. XD
Some great quotes: "According to the internet, yes" "I'm relying on science, and i've done no research"
Barry is BREAKING! Due to his ability to control the heat where is you cannot on an electric kettle. Now I also think Mike was dangerously close to breaking with the pan.
Also Jamie wins
Using the hob, breaking the rules get him out of here! 😂
Pan on the toaster, bending but as fine as the bread tin
How about baking using a tin pan in a microwave
Bend. The "It's my camping kettle..." argument is both silly and pretty keen. Cheers guys!
All went with the rules as written. Bravo!
I had to already rewind this video 3 times to see if I read Jamie saying he is going to add olive oil to a kettle, and that I wasn’t mis reading. It’s going to be a good video I can tell.
Why what could go wrong with that😂😉
@scarletd.artemis5124 why Barry using the kettle as he dis was bending the rules #safety
Barry is definitely braking the rules
Clearly breaking the rules, Barry! But doing it with style !😂
Definite rule break by Barry, Jamie's Kettle works as a single unit, Barry's Kettle needs the hob to work, and the hob is banned.
Baz - Disqualified !!😂😂😂
This is one of the best videos you have made. Freaking love it
As per usual, Barry is breaking the rules.
Barry 100% broke the rules. Mikes is si impressive! Jamie with a close second place. We'll done boys!
