Guys you should get jamie the color blind glasses that let him see colors and do a video with color foods for him to see
I really wanted the egg thingy to work. what a waste of money to create.
You should get a bigger cloche, but to show it off to your team, you should hide it under the old smaller cloche.
Pdf / epub plans?
More Pass it on please.
Me, from America, shouting "twelve quid!" at my screen as if I have any concept of how much money that is.
Convert it to dollars and add 25%. That’s a quick, close-enough conversion. So 12 quid becomes 12 bucks plus 3. Close enough.
@@cassidywise6838 Good enough for now. I thought it was just yesteryear when the pound was 1.5 times the dollar, but apparently that was back in 2016. I suppose Brexit worries weren't exactly kind towards the rates.
It’s basically 12 pounds right?
Sheepdog Smokey Yeah, pounds vs quid is like dollars vs bucks.
Benjamin Nathabheem I remember going on holiday to the US back in the 2000s and the exchange rate was £1=$2. Spent so many dollars lol
Jamie was so proud of his 'Eggers' comment, bless him.
😂
Also fitting because Ben is totally an egghead.
I bet he was thinking of that for weeks while planning the episode
My last names is Eggers, I feel honored
thorn312 it was the only good thing about that egg product!! 😂
that spoon is super useful "oh here is 200 calories more then i should eat"
*turns the food spoon sideways*
"that's better"
Than*
I love that they expect most of the people who buy that piece of junk to not understand how scales work. There's a reason every scale ever made by decent people has in the instructions "Place scale on flat level surface before using." That thing is just a complete of waste of time, space, and money. heh
@@KhronicD eh depends what you're using it for. Sure it's not very accurate, but if you just need a general guide then it's ok, if you need exact measurements then it doesn't work
@@abijo5052 if you want a general guide then use measuring spoons or cups, easy.
@@abijo5052 what exactly are you using that you need to measure but don't need to measure accurately?
If it doesn't need to be accurate why not just use a normal measuring scoop or cup, or why measure it at all and not just eyeball how much you need
I love that Ben mistaking the box for an egg led Jamie to actually throw an egg at Barry, lmao
Barry: “these things bug me because I have a small kitchen.”
Also Barry: took home the hot chocolate maker and table top pizza oven 😂
Ben keeps saying "it depends on how much you do that task." so the real Q is how can he stay so thin if hot chocolate and pizza are his frequent tasks?!?!?!?
😂 this is so true
@@courtxthexcutie Barry is the only person to go to America and loose weight 🤯
SORTEDfood My God how did that happened! I’ve never been to America but a friend brought me a baggage full of snacks and other delicious things and I swear I gained a pound just by that!
Priorities man, priorities.
The fact that Ben didn’t tell us how much the standard scale weighed the nuts at but instead said 12% less is just about as nerdy as it gets 🤣🤣🤣🤣 no way I could do those maths in my head
He super geek super geek
Not as hard as it looks, 50.4 rounded - 50, half of 100 which means just double the grammes in difference and you have percentage.
Chantelle R for you maybe...
1/8th is 12.5%, so a half of a quarter.
Had high hopes for the scale but its accuracy is way off 😕
As someone with physical disabilities I love that grater because it can usually take me around an hour just to prepare ingredients when I want to make my own food (due to lack of strength and dexterity among other reasons), so something like that is fast, easy and safer as well (I am always accidentally cutting myself at the kitchen due to slip ups). I love it! Thanks for showing it to me!!!
I have that too but they said it'd be better with a plunger which confuses me since mine came with one.
I think you'd be better off with a food processor. There's a motor and the attachments are little wheels that take up a lot less space. I have ones for grating, slicing, and french fries. And then you can puree stuff as well.
@@MtnNerd Hey, that's a great idea! Thanks!! They aren't the norm to have where I am from so I completely forgot about their existence! Thanks so much!! I can't believe I never thought of that!!
@@yuukiechizen8249 You should totally look them up! I also have an auto immune disorder that gives me bad hand days but I have a Ninja which is a blender and has a tiny food processor on it! It’s amazing for me because it also wasn’t as expensive or large as a normal blender or food processor. I wish you the best!!
@@BIGBANGvip5673 Thank you so much for the tip!!! I'll definitely look it up!! Wishing you the best as well, in all aspects, health and others!! :)
Description:"for eggs of all shapes and sizes"
Me: tries to put in ostrich egg
@Rusty Kinks That would have been an Eggcelect joke for them to do.
Barry Looks at Scale: It’s one gram off
Ebbers Looks at Scale: It’s 12% off
Isn’t really a useful measure. Like all measuring devices, scales are typically given a tolerance in “n% plus m digits”. So if the good scale is reading in whole grams, it can be off by 1 or 2 grams without even having a chance at being out of spec.
Jasper Janssen
The main problem I have with this is I know this kind of sensor wouldn’t work as well when you are holding it. Especially when it’s on a leaver of variable length
I don't even eat waffles but their perfection was seductive. Thank God that gadget is expensive enough to stop the impulse buy.
Same!
It is expensive, but it appears to be worth it. It would be great for me - keep a bunch of mix in a jug in the fridge, and make waffles for breakfast before the kids go to school in the morning.
I love mine. I also use it to make cornbread waffles. I never used the clamp like that. The clamp is for when you store it upright.
I have one (was a gift) and seriously its my favourite thing in my kitchen. Absolutely amazing waffle maker, no matter what you put in it (if you accidentally screw up the batter) it will still turn out amazing. I use it probably 3 times a month and I’ve had it for 5 years, still works perfectly. Can not recommend this product enough
@@bdavis7801 great idea
The look of disappointment in all their faces off the non beige egg that was everything 😣😂🍳
I give ebbers mad props for the hand whisked egg whites, because as some one who’s only done it once in a pinch and never plans to again, that’s not easy to do. That’s why he’s a chef 👨🍳🙌
:D "I see what has happened there... We wasted a lot of time!" :D
100%
I was wondering how spinning the egg was going to do anything, because of the membrane protecting the yolk. I guess I got my answer.
@@outrageouspickles7152
I don't know the density difference between the yolk and the white, but the membrane could be broken through centrifugal forces if the difference is high enough.
But given the result, that didn't happen
I wondered if their eggs were A) too cold and viscous, B) too fresh so the albumin/whites were too thick, C) both of the forementioned, to make it work? Also Barry seemed to be tickling it rather than giving it a good tug.
Agreed. Please watch my Popeyes chicken review.
"The nuts weigh less at 45 degrees"
Surprised Ben didn't go for a Ben-nuendo
Does Ben weigh less at 45 degrees?
This comment of his made me laugh SO much!
So...when you empty the scoop of nuts, and the scale zeroes out, is that "post-nut clarity"?
That waffle iron deserves its own episode. The sheer abundance of variations on waffle batters, as well as recipes that are not waffles, but use waffle irons as the intended cooking surface, make such a sublime-looking product the rather obvious target of a massive assortment of potential experiments. My first thought upon seeing them come out is how amazing that product would be at producing my "rice pudding waffles" (which are gluten-free), which would do with deeper pits to accept more of the cinnamon custard sauce I top them with.
Jamie really loves being the host for these, and he's amazing at it!
He could be a host for master chef or something. He's so good at it
“It’s a good gadget, I just don’t like it” is my favorite assessment.
*Ben shakes the eggs next to his ear to see if there's a difference between a normal egg and a scrambled egg* Jamie: "is this the content you were after?"
I mean any content by you boys is the content we're after
Well if he heard anything, then he should throw the egg away. Shaking an egg is one way of testing the freshness as you can hear something when you shake old eggs but you can't hear anything with new eggs.
If its old enough you can here a *cluck cluck*
The question not answered: how easy were the gadgets to clean afterward, especially the waffle iron? I love waffles but hate the clean up if the grills can't be removed.
Sometimes I wipe it down with a cloth, sometimes I just leave it. The non stick on it is perfect and there is never any residue, except maybe some butter from the waffle batter.
What? What kind of waffle iron do you have that's hard to clean? You just wipe them down with a cloth or a sponge dampened with hot water. If it's any harder than that you're doing something wrong.
Most irons comes with waffle, grill and croque-monsieur grills.,.
If they don't have an easily removable grill, I mostly don't bother buying them.,.
Anyway,
the thing I'm bothered with the most is, I don't see them flip the damn thing,
most waffle irons I know can be flipped.,.
@@chiisuigintou You don't need to flip it. The SAGE AKA Breville is smart waffle maker. ruclips.net/video/mkdf--WkhNA/видео.html
I think if it did have interchangeable grill I wouldn't bother. I haven't had a waffle in years, even when I lived at my parents they only made waffles maybe 6 times a year... But I did love ours with the flat irons for making grilled cheese or quesadillas.
"Now I've got 2.6 grams of air... in that spoon!"
"The nuts weigh less, at 45 degrees."
It would be so hilarious if they did an episode where the chefs had to cook a fine dining meal with an easy bake oven
Alexis from Buzzfeed Tasty has done that already though.
The Breville smart oven pro you could, the only impediment I find is the size, otherwise it functions better than many conventional ovens.
@@dlmbs but I’m would much rather watch a bunch of British guy curse they sound more sexy than tasty bullshit
Yes!
That's a mythical chef josh kind of thing to do
"Is this the content you were after?" Absolutely!! who else would show us that the egg spinner would be a big waste of time and money 😂
All the many many many other people who test kitchen gadgets? In the case of the egg spinner nobody should need a demonstration that it doesn't work lol. Logically if full on shaking an egg doesn't work there's no reason to think that spinning it on an axis would do anything at all!
Barry, the reference to "Inception" was genius! 😂😂😂
Currently painting a mural on my bedroom wall and this is my favourite form of entertainment when doing the said activity
Barry's face when Jamie calls him incredibly normal 😂
😂
‘Is this the content that you were after?’
Hell yes Jamie!!
That's a relief! 😅
The urgency with which Jamie begged ‘Plate it up!’ 🤣
I mean, I get it, that chicken and waffles looked amazing!
That Inception joke at the end, got me for a minute as well.
Would love to see the waffle iron put to a test like the pizza oven.
There are so many great variations of waffles and I would like to know how the belgian waffles turn out. Usually those get turned and I do not think this is possible here.
Maybe revise Barry's pizza waffle?
I have that waffle maker and we use it for Belgian waffles a lot and they turn out great!
@@canadian1584 Good to know, thanks for the comment
I would love to see if there are more versatile waffle irons (eg, one where you can remove the template and have a hotplate)
.....Why would you need to turn them when a waffle maker cooks from both sides at once?
I'm questioning Ben's "pinch" of salt...
Handful
A proper "pinch" in culinary terms is more like a crab claw sort of pinch than a pointer-and-thumb pinch.
@@brookie7797 But he did two big pinches xD
For chefs a pinch of salt is like 3 Tablespoons. I'm convinced that is 90% of what makes food from a professional chef taste better is how much salt they use.
Exactly. Salt is a major flavour enhancer, and experienced chefs take full advantage of that by not pulling their pinches.
Jamie's manicure during the waffle maker demo was on point.
Jamie: “Eggers”
Me: immediately liked the video with no regrets.
"I'm good with these things"
-Barry, staring at a 4 piece puzzle for a minute
Like the previous video, I'll give my suggestion:
Perhaps a battle where each of the normals celebrate their favorite food item? Jamie with steak, Barry with avocado, and Mike with chicken.
You could call it the Ultimate Favorite Food battle!
Jamie: “It doesn’t go up your bum.”
Me: “Try more olive oil.”
😳🤣💀
In an earlier episode, James refused to make this joke on another gadget because it wasn't "family friendly".
Thank you, Jamie. You are the hero we need.
“Snacking waffle” was the highlight of my day.
That's when I liked the video. :)
I love that waffle iron and would love to see how the different styles (Classic, Begium, etc.) differ from each other.
Also I would love to see the chefs and the normals cook signature dishes from all around europe. Especially from the countries which are maybe lesser known for their food compared to their neighbor.
I'd honestly love to see what they would do with Dutch dishes.
@@TheIvoryDingo me too 😅 I have to admit I am not sure if I could name a real traditional dutch dish
@@LordBunnyBone Stamppot
@@TheIvoryDingo I looked it up and it seems interesting. I never heard of it but maybe I will try to cook it at some point
Only thing I hate about that is the marketing as a 'smart' waffle iron. It's literally just an integrated hard-coded timer, there's nothing smart about that..
Anyone else says how many grams the scales were out...Ebbers “it’s 12% less!” Haha
Barry can't register that XD
Boom12 I don’t think he would know how...to be fair It made me stop and think...that’s not a weight😂
6 grams less
Missed opportunity for the editors to put formulas around Jamie as a meme when Ben said that.
Jamie yelling ‘Plate it up!’ With pure desperation was a wonderfully pure moment of joy mixed with hunger.
2:13 Barry getting angry at a, well supposedly, easy to use stupid egg spinning do-hickey thing is such a Barry reaction . Lol!
Just woke up less than a minute ago. Thank goodness for y’all. Made my morning.
Same, best way to wake up.
Same but it’s 5pm here and I have a horrible sleeping schedule
🥳 🥳 🥳
Jamie: is this the content you were after?
Me: nods reluctantly
I actually have that grater thing! Mine came with the plunger thing Ben was talking about so I'm not grating my fingers. Also, the switch to lock it to the counter broke pretty quickly, but it still works
I just wanted to say that I've been watching you guys since 2013 in Tastemade. I really love all your formats and I trust your opinions and celebrate when you get sponsorships/partnerships. You even got me to buy a Kenwood food processor.
I really get inspired by your recipes and I am so entertained with your content (pass it on is my favorite).
Keep up the good work. You guys remain to be one of the things that keep me sane this year.
And i again suggest for pass it on
„Trifle“, sweet or savory, each three layers with minimum height, presented in a big glass bowl
Now, on to the video 😉❤️
5 layers: Sweet then savory then sweet then savory then sweet, each of them makes one layer hahaha
love this idea!
Anyone got Rachel's recipe from Friends?
@@gloriabeltzig2344 a layer of ladyfingers, a layer of jam, custard (made from scratch), raspberries, more ladyfingers, beef sautéed with peas and onions, a little more custard, sliced banana and whipped cream
@@gloriabeltzig2344 See if they can recreate Babish's recipe?
Sometimes I forget what day of the week it is then a sorted video comes out and I know it's either Wednesday or Sunday. It reminds me how fast and also slow time is going in quarantine
that waffle iron looks like a great candidate for the "two chefs experiment with a kitchen gadget" format
I like how they refer to Barry as "normal". They're so nice to him.
The problem with the egg spinner is that it doesn’t reverse direction. It’s the abrupt change of direction that actually does the work.
Abrupt starting and stopping is, in theory, at least half as good, but yeah... I'm impressed by a purpose-built gadget that does the job worse than a shirt sleeve.
@@ceceliakra7234 false. There are literally devices that do this exact same thing by spinning the egg in rapidly changing directions. There’s surface tension between the parts of the egg.
Gadget Suggestion: Vitamix blenders, priced sky high, but make a lot of claims that go far beyond what a regular blender can do.
"Is this the content that you were after?" Yes, Jamie, absolutely. MORE EGGERS 😂
The blooper is the funniest thing Barry has ever said. I wish you would stop testing my patience and give us more MIKE!
Ben saying „useless“ with a mouth full of food is a MOOD
"It's twelve procent less'' Ben you just could give us the exact number and not make us do maths haha
Great spot!! We're onto you Ebbers!!
3:40 "we've wasted a lot of time" when i tell you that scream laughed hahahahahahaah. you guys are freaking entertaining thank u
the waffle iron really intrigued me, as i myself am thinking about buying one. i have also seen various 5-in-one waffle irons where there are switchable elements, so one element is for making waffles, one a gridled pan, one a sandwich maker type thing etc. i'd love for one of those to be tested out!
You know Barry said "I'm good at these things" when about to put the parts of the grater together based on the fact that he is good at putting his kid's shapes in the holes you together. You just KNOW.
I'd like to nominate this as the best food related video where someone says, "It doesn't go up your bum." on RUclips. Oh who am I kidding? This is the ONLY food video where someone says that!! Congratulations to Jamie.
I was screaming laughing 😂
I laughed sooooo many times in the first 2.55 minutes alone! At the moment I can only guess what the rest of the video brings! Guys, I love you!!!
Ben's look and 'it's a waffle maker' is my new favourite quote
Anyone else still miss "I'm gooey in the middle baby, let me bake"?
Not even gonna lie, that intro song was pure fire
🙋♀️
Yeah, I put it on my workout playlist. Lol
Song of Niemah what song is it? Where did you find it?
Chronically Witty It’s Pancake by Jaded ft Ashnikko. I found it on Spotify.
"Is this the content you were after?" No Jamie ... but I expect nothing more 🤣🤣
A little off topic, but whoever takes care of sound in your videos does a great job imo. Everything is usually so balanced and has a good level; cooking sounds are great and speech is always clear (with the exception of Barry's mumbles). Kudos!
Those waffles...man they are a LEVEL Up in terms of perfection. They look on the surface, like a lovely chocolate truffle with an even coating of cocoa powder. It's that beautiful.
10:14 Till my dying day I will believe those are Barry's hands and you will never convince me otherwise.
😂 🤣
Conspiracy theory: Mike has finally had his post-lockdown haircut and now it looks bad so what's why he hasn't been on camera for weeks.
Either that, or he's pregnant and hiding the bump 😉
Shauni yeah I've been wondering what Mike has done to not show up on camera anymore
hoovesonearth he might be on Honeymoon
He got married right before the lockdown and might have put the celebrations on hold
I saw some pretty lady fingers playing with the waffle maker if you want my guess as to what Mike has been up to.... ;)
I just assumed he’s on camera duty?
@@Friendsfn88 oh yeaah! It looked like a Mikes ring!
Love how few ad's you guys have in your videos. Makes the show so much more enjoyable without unskippable adds popping up every few minutes.
With a family of 6 we use the hand rotary grater all the time. The usefulness comes of the fact that you only have to pop the grater barrel and plastic spout into the dishwasher and stick the other pieces in the cabinet when done. We run the dishwasher every other day, so it's quite convenient, more than the processor.
"There is no escaping for this egg" sounds incredibly sinister
I like that Barry did his nails to show off the waffle maker.
got someone recommend me this in other video comment section and by the intro itself I'm already hooked.
These three are my favorite....funny and fun to watch.
Jaime coming in strong with a new ref shirt!
He loves a ref shirt our J.
@@SortedFood someone must have told him about the slimming effects of stripes, that's why I wear them 😇
I’m with Barry - I love the yolk, the whites of most eggs are just meh.
I'd be really surprised if there's anybody out there who actually enjoys egg whites... They have very little flavor and the texture of them when they're hard boiled is dreadful.
Not Wednesday thank gracious I’m not the only one who feels like a boiled egg white’s texture is so jarring! Haha it’s like you’re chewing along and then someone gives you a wet Willy.. it’s so slippery and horrible! 🤣
My family always overcooked the egg and made the yolk taste horrible.
I have to say, I have a rotary grater, and absolutely love it. I mainly use it for grating cheeses, and it does it so easily and quickly, and there's so little cleanup, that I love it.
It makes very short work of anything I do, and is easier and actually works better than a food processor, and is tons easier to clean up,
That has to be the funniest blooper I’ve ever seen!! Very funny Barry!!!!
Now I wanna see an episode where you guys just make recipes using just the waffle maker. like cakes, and brownies, and sandwiches and things like that.
So, basic the perfect video for Barry to be in. Everything except what it’s supposed to do, just like the ultimate battles.
Ben was ready to catch the egg when Jamie throws the box while Barry was ready to catch box while Jamie throws an egg 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I actually have the hand turn grater. I asked my Mother-in-law for one for Christmas one year. I use it all the time. Its so much easier to pull out than the food processor. I also dont have all the parts for my food processor and cant grate anything with it. I love it! I use it for grating cheeses and carrots, to slicing cucumbers for home made pickles.
3:08 -- "Baz, pull it out!" That could have gone badly. Phrasing.
That cheese grater would get used so often in my house (we are a family of cheese monsters as my mum would say) so I’ll definitely have to look into that!
Aidyn H You can get fantastic metal ones. My dad has had one for over 30 years still works grate (pun totally unashamedly intended 😆) although granted not a lot is made to last these days. But best of luck in your purchase
There are handheld metal ones, I found one on Amazon the best keywords are "moulinex petit ménager" my first result is that little grater made of stainless steel, about 15€ 😁
Fallen Sway eBay! 😏
Spaff, we sorely miss the dad jokes here!
The boys were really stellar today with their sass and humor.
Love the waffle maker, but I'll stick with my vintage '80s tefal with interchangeable waffle, sandwich and ridged griddle plates- easy to clean, takes up a third the space of three separate machines and makes the best toasted sandwiches ever as it doesn't have the stupid crimp across the middle of each one, so you can get much more in.
R&D at Breville/Sage: What have we not added a screen to... WAFFLE MAKER.
Does any one else miss Mike! I realise he is probably isolating with his family, but I miss his chaotic energy 🥰
Ben as the Egg Whisperer, of course it's the content we wanted !
I just got a rotary grater since I do not have a food processor. I absolutely love it! Mine did come with a plunger so that I'm not putting my fingers down inside it, and all pieces except the base go into the dishwasher. I really love it!
I would love to see an episode where the guys make their personal favorite recipes.
They had something like that a while back. I can't remember what the series is called, but if you look back, you should be able to find it.
The series is called "Made Personal with...". Each lad cooks a dish (or has the chef make a dish) personal to them, explains why/what memories they have attached to it and then answers some comments.
@@birdiekay686 Thank you. Not sure how I missed that series.
10:21 Nice nails Ben, love the color
I was too distracted by the ring.
Oh my gosh barry - YES!!! the yolk is the best part of a boiled egg! Been telling people that my whole life and no one has ever agreed with me
These boys made me super happy
I feel like this video would have been perfect for James' dry humor and incredibly jaded criticism.😂😂😂
Ebbers, darling, what is that weird spoony thing you used to lower the egg into the boiling water? I have one, NO idea what it's for. I use it like you did, and occasionally for pasta - for which it is mildly successful.
There's an episode - "What are the original and alternate uses for this gadget?"
It's a pasta spoon\pasta fork\spagetti spoon.
Pasta spoon. Like the guy below me said.
Actually the hole can vary in size depending on the model, so not the greatest portion control tool
Ben's hatred and contempt for the measuring scooper is giving me the giggles. I adore Ben.
(also Barry's 'we have snacking waffle' followed by that amazing seven-part laugh. this is such a good episode!)
We're glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
that inception reference at the end was golden 😂
"Is this the content you were after?"
Of course it is
PS I almost heard Mike crying with joy when that fried chicken was cooking ;)
Ben's disapproval of the scoop scale was a delight
