@@SortedFood I expected you to give Jamie a steak and have him smoke half of it to compare the differences. I know that's probably what I'd use the thing for the most.
As a bartender myself, the biggest issue for me with the cocktail machine is having to buy the liquor (gin/vodka/etc) and the pods in addition to the machine at £300. Like... you’re shelling out probably £500+ just to get the thing ready to use, let alone to replace the liquors and pods as you use them
Plus, if the company ever dies or stops supporting that machine you are left with 300 pounds worth of trash because you need the capsules to make anything.
Also those pods are just a scam. Think about an Old-Fashioned. You have to supply the bourbon yourself. So it's a £2-3 pod for... a bit of sugar, and a couple dashes of bitters? That wouldn't even cost you 50 cents. I doubt it'd even cost you 25 cents. But now you need to pay £2-3 for a pod and a £300 machine to stick it in. On top of that you can't play around with different types/flavours of bitters or the amount of bitters. And then in the end the result is only "passable" and not as good as a handmade cocktail. 🤷🏻♀️ (Not even touching on the fact that it creates plastic waste with every cocktail.)
@@TheMrVengeance Also it doesn't really fit anyone. Those who like mixing drinks as a hobby, will have no need for this. Those who occasionally mix some drinks, like on New Year's, don't need it. And even in the scenario of "I wanna do multiple drinks for a big party in one night, without having to do it myself", you don't need it. At that point just hire a bartender. That'll supply you for the night, provide a little bit of spectacle and it'll probably be cheaper than the machine.
not to mention....since you have all of that booze coming out of a single nozzle youll have all those spirits mixing in the maschine (unless you purge all the lines after every use) .......and idk bout yall but i really dont want gin in my old fashioned XD not even a little
It's absolutely pretentious. All it does is measure the recipe for you, you still have to mix/shake it yourself if you want it chilled over ice. It's not even the beverage equivalent of a stand mixer.
@Sune Wallentin Goettler too true, i actually bought a 20 dollar bottle capper, saved a bunch of beer bottles up, cleaned them out got a 10 dollar sack of caps and just got to mixing a big bowl of alcohol, poured it into the bottles and capped them, no fancy capsules but man is it nice to pull out a negrino from the fridge and pop it into a glass with some soda water and an icecube. scorpion as well, that one ran out real quick :P really anything with orgeau syrup or amaretto i fawn over.
As a tip for the smoking gun - if you actually want to infuse something, especially something thick like cream, you want to put your smoke in and seal it, once it is sealed let the smoke dissipate completely - depending on how much of the smoke flavour you want in your infusion you can repeat 2/3/4 times - but it's important to seal in the smoke and allow to dissipate on it's own, otherwise you are just losing all the flavour to the air! Enjoy playing around with it - haven't used a smoke gun in years (tobacco smoked honey is the best thing I ever created with a smoke gun!)
Everytime I see these gadget videos, I can't help but think about that video you all did with the automatic plate/bowl washer that looked like a science experiment. I need more of those weird gadgets in my life.
My family have ine of those mandolins (only way bigger, you can put more than half a cabbage in it) and we use it every year to make fermented cabbage ( sorry if it's not the right term, English isn't my first language) we basically use it once a year to make whole barrel of fermented cabbage that don't go bad just getting stronger( in the spring (and summer if it last long enough) you have to rinse it before use) ETA: fermented cabbage seasoned with salt and pepper is one of the best salads you can serve with main dish
Forget a specialized cabbage shredder, you can get wafer thin shreds with a food processor’s slicer attachment and also get all the useful benefits of a food processor too.
Sauerkraut: add a grated carrot, a thin sliced jalapeno, a thin sliced onion, and some mashed/minced garlic (add pepper if you like). Looks closer to a fermented coleslaw but is absolutely the best sauerkraut I've ever had!
"Jamie heres your bowl of smoekd cream, enjoy" "Barry we'd liek to present you with a perfectly cooked scallop thats ahd been smoked using only the finest of wood chips for you king" Lmao
Would love to see the chefs play around with the Sage, Smoking Gun on different food using different ‘burnables’. Like what type of dried teas are good, and what they’d be used for. Barry said you could use hay and I am supper excited to find out what smoked hay goes well with. The use of hay for flavor is something I’ve never hear of before.
My favorite thing to smoke with my smoking gun is a big bowl of cashews. My family devours it every year at Thanksgiving. The high fat content and surface area really takes the smoke well. Other favorite is smoking fontina cheese ahead of a baked cheesy creamy risotto gratin.
The Sauerkraut one - back in Poland you just go to market and buy one for like £5. And you make a barrels of Sauerkrau, like a lasagne layer of cabbage and layer of carrot. Can't imagine doing it with knife.
The thing I wonder with the last gadget is how recyclable those pods are they. That became a huge issue with the coffee pods and while those were obviously used on a much larger scale, I feel like this thing is just creating unnecessary waste. Plus half the fun is making the cocktails yourself!
idk. Maybe it's because I regularly make cocktails but the idea of a machine with pods takes the joy out of cocktails for me. I like the craft. I like shaking and stirring and experimenting.
That Bar machine was just soo unnecessary, but I feel when he said “I want one”.. I do, for 1 party, where everyone uses it for 1 drink and then goes back to G&T.
I'd say the downside to the cocktail machine is that apparently you still need to shake certain cocktails, which kind of takes out some of the convenience of the machine and adds to your dishes haha. Does look really cool, though!
Have to do the Anova Precision Oven. A combi-oven at home has to be the most game changing piece of equipment since...... the refridgerator? It solves the two biggest problems of the home cook - timing everything for service, and perfectly reheating food. In addition, you get all of the other ridiculous things that you get from a combi-oven that professionals love. Incredible breads, mind blowing roasted proteins and veg. It's been totally game changing for me.
The bartender machine is basically a capsule coffee machine without a heating element and with a valve for the different tanks. A capsule coffee machine costs you 30 bucks, this thing 300 - seems a bit much.
want a cheap alternative to the sage get a metal teapot put the smoking reagent in it attach a rubber hose to the end put it where ya want the smoke, and use mini fan or blower of some sort to force smoke out of nozzle.
High(er) End Kitchen Gadgets and than you're testing a Krauthobel for Sauerkraut :D great :D We still use the one which my grandma used in her days, all the neighbours were sharing it, and still some of us are sharing it today :) It's a great thing to have when you're growing cabbage in your garden, but you ususally just need it once a year and with a large "Kraut-Topf" you're good to go until next year :) Love the way how Ben pronounces "BratWURST" ^^
I really wish to see a video where they are allowed to use kitchen gadgets only to make food...it can be a battle and more marks for using maximum gadgets
The bartender gadget has a use flaw: it only has a limited number of pre-programmed slots for the bottles of alcohol. There’s plenty of drinks that use both whiskey and burbon, or two different kinds of rum. And it has nowhere near enough slots to make drinks like Long Island Ice Tea or a Zombie. Edit: has a gin slot, but good gimlets are still a problem because they often use multiple gins/vodkas.
They sell a ton of different pods on their site but the machine only has 5 slots for alcohol (whiskey, vodka, gin, rum, tequila) so a lot of the time you end up with a cocktail where the majority of 'spirits' in your drink aren't spirits at all but flavouring syrup. It's more of an alcopop machine than a cocktail machine.
The cocktail machine... why wouldn't you just buy the pods for £2 each and then pour your own liquer to taste? Saves you £300 instantly and you don't have to make space for a huge machine, also drinks are *EASY* to make if you plan and/or prepare in advance! An Old Fashioned has 3-4 ingredients + ice (if you're that sort of person), 2 of them can be made in advance and stored for a couple weeks in the fridge: - Make orange simple syrup by boiling sugar sirup with a little orange peel and bitters, cool it down and keep in a air tight jar in the fridge. That combines your sugar, bitters and orange in one. - Whiskey or Bourbon of your choice. - Ice and Cherry optional. I imagine the "mixer pod" is exactly the first part ...simple syrup infused with bitters and orange peel, so what you're paying for is simply a drink dispenser ...for £300 + £2 per drink ...on top of your actual liquer. I'm sorry but if you buy that drink mixer machine you're a lazy fool with more money than brains, and lets not forget the added plastic waste with every pod... *(sigh)*
I'd love to see them test run that crazy Japanese toaster that's like $300... The BALMUDA Toaster. I saw it on another youtube channel once and have been dying to see what the boys would do with it ever since.
It would be really cool to see them play with an at home freeze dryer, like they’re super expensive but if that was ever an option it would be amazing, especially the battles that could be had.
How to drink did a great review of that Bartesian Machine, and he basically crapped all over how bad it was at making cocktails, especially when you could stock a bar with all the nescesarries to make any of their bad cocktails for less money.
Have you ever reviewed the thermomix? That's the most insanely expensive Kirchen gadget you can buy that is also weirdly helpful. But I think that's not for a short segment but rather a full episode.
The problem with gadgets with proprietary pods is when it eventually got discontinued down the line (either by waning demand, change in design, etc), then you are left with a useless machine. And just like nespresso pods, it will be years before it fell off patent and can be produced by other brands...
Had a video idea: Write a recipe without the normals, run it through a translator a bunch of times, then give it to the normals and see how well they can figure it out!
How would the long island iced tea one work though? That's typically at least 4(?) liquors, unless they ask you to add 1 and have the rest within the capsule although that sounds counter-intuitive?
You NEED to put smoke in a glass of water then freeze the water in ice cube trays once frozen put ice cubes in Vegetable juice!!!! Or apple juice!!!! It is the BEST
Of the three, only the smoking gun is something I'd buy, even if I don't know how much I would use it. Personally, instead of the second one, I'd rather have a decent mandolin. At least with a mandolin, it would be more stable and easier to use; not to mention versatile. Maybe not as quick as having three blades but the functionality of a mandolin has to outweigh the difference that the three blades would make. The third one is a waste of money. Three hundred, plus delivery, plus three dollars per pod, plus the booze, plus needing a strainer depending on the drink. You're better off just buying a cocktail shaker and strainer. If you're having trouble remembering recipes, a notebook in your liquor cabinet is an easy thing to have. As for additional ingredients, lemons, limes, sugar, juices, chances are you're already going to have them on hand already.
Urgh, the waste that comes with anything that uses pods! Simply cannot get on board with. Would’ve loved to have heard you guys mention that in your critique of the product x
I was just eating some pastry with fermented cabbage while watching this video )) As a Ukrainian, I can't imagine a cabbage slicer being a high-end gadget! We do pickled cabbage A LOT in Ukraine and have various dishes with it, but Ebbers' method is a bit different from what we do
Don't know if the smoke things is great in current climate lol. A lot of these gadgets always seem to look cool but are very expensive. They're for upper middle class people that host regular dinner parties. The last one would be cool is they had the ability to make non alcoholic beverages too. Like make a fizzy grape juice similar to those non alcoholic brut alternatives or mocktails.
I like how Barry gets that immaculate scallop dish and Jamie gets a big bowl of cream
Yup - we know our normals 😂
@@SortedFood I expected you to give Jamie a steak and have him smoke half of it to compare the differences. I know that's probably what I'd use the thing for the most.

Not gonna lie, I'm surprised you guys didn't make Jamie a smoked old fashioned with the smoke gun and bar machine.
You'd need a conical flask for it. They make them at The Alchemist (at least, they used to)
What a brilliant idea

The Mandoline was the worst of the gadgets as it's just a unitasker instead of a multitasker.
But, to be fair, it also costs a lot less than the others. If you like sauerkraut (or its superior sister: Rotkraut), that's a good investment.

Buy the pods without the machine if you really want the cocktails. Then manually measure the alcohol.

How many drinks does it make in one pre-load?
Like is it viable for a dinner party of 10-20 guests? Or only 4-6 guests?
I have that smoking gun - it's fantastic!! I really do use it all the time. At least once a week 🤤
Ben: *intense internal screaming* No, I did it by hand.
please review the Rotimatic automatic flatbread and roti maker.... thanks
I have a grand idea for the smoker machine.
Even though I am German, I've never made sauerkraut myself. But I WANT that cabbage slicer for coleslaw!
(Btw: did you eat the Sauerkraut cold?)
Am I the only one who remembers James bringing out his own smoke gun during the first ever Chef v. Chef battle?
Only the 1st one would interest me, but still a bit pricey I'm afraid, great Vid though lads 👍
Grew up making sourkraught by burying it in the dirt to cure. My great grandmother's way.

If you put a whole bottle of liquor in those vessels and not use them for weeks, would that affect the flavor?
Wouldn't buy any of these but it was fun to see them.
I got to admit that the sage smoker brought me back to my younger days were a certain herb would have been used
Definitely looks like am expensive bong
Sucking hot smoke through a rubber tube, sounds like a great way to get 100% of my daily value of microplastic
I am Canadian we can smoke the good stuff but not sure this device would work?
Not sure how useful the Bartesian is for a bourbon served neat.
If you have a food processor you can make Sauerkraut.
Yes I would totally use the smoker to... smoke,,, ehm... "food"
