“A good vet could bring it back” is such a sick burn. Great job, Ben!
many funny moments but that was also my favourite.
He really quoted Gordon Ramsy there
I did not understand what he meant by that until I read this XD thank you
I know someone who once ordered his steak as "knock the horns off, clean it up, and put it on the plate" and he at it all happily, that's a bit too rare for me.
Barry's evil laugh before choosing the steak is exactly what you and your best friends do when you know you can screw someone over. In a friendly way, of course 😂
That’s what friendship is all about right?
@@SortedFood Yeah but the steak was rare enough that it came back to bite him in the arse in this competition. 😆
@@SortedFood The world is full of suffering - but you can only truly enjoy it when inflicted upon a friend.
Then exponentially pays back, when you can turn it back like this.
Mike: “I’m not a chef. How many times do I have to showcase that?”
Also Mike: *Huttlestorm*
Also also Mike: *pulls together a really enticing and winning fish curry*
Well done both living up to and showing up yourself, Mate!
The thing is that all three are comparing themselves to a very skilled chef, not their current home chef status compared to the home cook us.
I appreciate the reality of this. It makes me feel better seeing this when I know that a quick cook during a uni study session can cause me chaos. This also shows the actual retained skills and knowledge of the normals.
Waste of money
@@connorhurry1987 what is
I want Mikes recipe. we need these broken down so we can make them. if its good, we want to make it.
Can they really be called normals at this point? I'd call them near or at the level of a restaurant cook. not fast food, and not a chef, somewhere where if they were put on the line at a steakhouse, they wouldn't have much difficulty.
@@connorhurry1987 your comment was a waste of time, since it included no context and added nothing to the discorse.
Oh brilliant dishes….I thought I was a reasonable cook (I’m 68) but I have learned so much from all of the team over the last year since I’ve had the Sorted app. My son came to live back home for a while last year after my husband very sadly died suddenly, and as Daniel enjoys veggie food midweek I needed new ideas and have never looked back. My cooking technique has improved and the simple things like grating garlic and ginger have meant my cooking tastes better and takes less time, plus I don’t have a kitchen full of pots before I eat …well, not always! A big thank you, Sorted.
We love to hear this! I’ll pass it on to the rest of the team. Much love! Sorted xxx
@@SortedFood But who are you though 😉
@@achuachu6130 It's Janice, clearly.
Kudos. No matter how well you can cook, you should be open to learning new cooking techniques and ingredients. The biggest thing is to get to a point where you have a bunch of very versatile "back pocket" dishes that you can throw together with minimal fuss. You get to the point where you are no longer "cooking to the recipe". It's kinda like knowing how to "season to taste" instead of relying on measured amounts of salt, pepper, etc. And the best thing is that grocery shopping can inspire you rather than having a set list of potentially expensive ingredients that might be out of season.
The best thing is knowing how to use stuff you have on hand. You don't have to buy "chili seasoning" if you have cumin, cayenne, paprika, and oregano in the spicerack.
Good luck on your cooking journey!!!
What a kind comment to post. So sorry to hear about your loss. Good luck with future food adventures!
Mike going with a Spaff level of seasoning. "FLAVOUR!"
I was thinking the same thing, but I also thought that Spaff tends to think "sandwich" and "bacon" are part of the spice cupboard.
@@emalinedickinson7492 those are always in my spice cupboard. 😆
Mike's dish is 50% insanity 50% pure genius.
I couldn’t agree more, but the way he did the final dish was brilliant
pretty sure that cooking in general..
That’s Mike cooking style in general I love the hustle storm creations he comes up with
I think it was great to see Barry cheering Mike on and Mike complimenting Baz. I mean, all rivalry aside, they are friends! And the bloober featuring Barry's hair! Hilarious!
His hair looked lovely, I think!
Mike, next time your brain screams “Thick milk!” try to remember that yoghurt is also a thing! 😄
I always find yogourt separates when cooked, though I believe something can be done with cornflour in it?
@@helenswan705 Adding it slowly (and sometimes even off the heat) and whisking it quickly makes a big difference. My family is Kashmiri. There are many Kashmiri dishes that use yogurt and end up with beautiful, velvety gravies without needing cornflour. I hope that helps you out 🙂
@@helenswan705 Stir constantly. You shouldn't leave it alone once it's on heat. Also stir in water and make it a smooth mix before adding to anything.
@@_nquisitor_ Thanks, that is kind of you
@@rims169 Thanks, tht is very helpful
I loved Barry cheering Mike on at the end, that was cool.
I don’t think he was expecting such a comeback!!
Ben and Barry’s faces during Mike’s thoughts on “thick milk” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“A good vet could probably still bring it back” killed me hahaha
This is actually a massively appreciated format. I do enjoy the other cooking excursions, with some creativity and a goal set in mind before it comes to the actual cooking, but it always lacks a bit of reality.
You don't sit down with a team of chefs to discuss your next experimental dish, if you're a normal person. You just bring together influences and ideas and try to tie them up into an interesting and most of all tasty dish. That influence and the ingenuity required to pull it off get completely lost, when you make a recipe beforehand, try it out and then just cook it on-air without professional help.
I do get that it's essentially required, so the show can actually present a dish, rather than just a jumble of ideas, which would require 5,6 or 7 revisions to really nail down a final product, but it's nice to see some actual creativity every once in a while.
Well said
Yes, this was a very helpful format for the person at home to see how they can put together the different techniques and ideas they learned while watching this show. And as you said so well, in a realistic way with a normal being thrust into just throwing it together on the spot, no recipe, no food team testing, no proof it will actually work out, just like the rest of us at home cooking from the pantry and hoping it turns out tasty.
I love the food team, but I muchhhhh prefer this style of video, it's so much more realistic to what the average home cook is doing. I think they both did really well!
Agreed 100%. I honestly think it takes away a little something from the battle when they're just working recipes that the food team has already come up with, tested, sampled and tweaked. "Normals having to think on the fly, using the skills they've learned over quite a few years at this point to be fresh and creative" is a lot more interesting than "normals following recipes created in advance by a culinary team."
Agreed!
@@Osric01 I mean sure... but you can plan your meals. You can cook from recipes. I also think the term normals are just used because they have professionally trained chefs in the same room. In real life, I wouldn't say "years of knowledge and cooking" is someone who is always a normal cook.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I think Mike deserves a little bit more than just the basic badge. Barry did a salad... a delicious salad, but still a salad, with time to spare. Mike went nuts, and did something which, in 15 minutes, I don't think anyone would dream of. Definitely Mike deserved the Advanced Speedy Cooking badge. *nods*
Barry just used one speedy cooking hack (miso butter) and did not cook the steak to the level he aimed for (he could have finished on time had he let it cook longer instead of rushing to plate it). Mike used several speedy cooking hacks, had the added challenge of the unconventional ingredient combination and lack of coconut milk, but he still came up with a creative and perfectly cooked dish. Mike should've received the advanced creativity badge and maybe even a fish badge!
You know, I'd love to see a three-way battle where they're taking turns picking an ingredient to use, which the others can't. And this includes Everything in the kitchen. If someone picks eggs, the others can't use them. If someone picks butter, that's gone too.
I think they did something like this ages ago... Can't remember when but if I come across it I will post it
@@Tala_Masca Please do!
I choose salt...
Oil salt and pepper should be the only ingredients everyone can use.. Or limit the use of spices otherwise someone can just grab every single spice available and use a tiny pinch of each just to screw with the others
@@stone5against1 alternatively make them pick spice blends.
I'm actually not too surprised that rhubarb worked for the curry base, amchur/mango is used in tons of curries and could fit a roughly similar niche of sourness to go along with Ben's tamarind comparison :) Serious props to Mike for pulling that one off though in the time limit lol
The use of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" for when Mike is cooking is perfection. We've found his new theme song.
I shall now for evermore equate it with The Huttlestorm
Unplanned?!? I’m ready for the inevitable chaos. And some epic dishes. 😁
Let us know what you think at the end of the vid. Haha
@@SortedFood haha. Epic could mean epically desastreus? 😉
And I will let you know.
Yay! Chaos was an ingredient.
The guys talking about Barry's experience with having his hair done and being supportive of the results at the end.... true friends. I guess Jamie is still feeling poorly? Hope he's better soon.
Barry being self conscious in the bloop has broken my heart…you look great Baz!!
Ben: “You’ve got a winning combination there, Mike.”
Mike: “I’m not a chef, Ben. How many times do I have to showcase that?”
Whatever the outcome, we’re rooting for him and hey, Atleast he’s self-aware.
Ben is a total mood in this one. And I’m loving it.
Great video! And the dishes are epic (in their own way).
What a moood eh?!
@@SortedFood 😂
Here's an idea: how about a cooking challenge with limited space? I have a really tiny kitchen where I can barely get out a chopping board so prepping/chopping stuff gets pretty tough!
Other than that, love this!
I don’t know if you do this already; but I have taken to buying frozen vegetables that are ready prepared. More so for me because I was getting a bit frustrated with fresh going off before I can use them, but it saves a lot of time and space etc. and given a lot of veg is harvested, prepared and frozen within a few hours it is technically fresher then fresh? It also seems cheaper for me; when I factor in what I was throwing out into the costs
Also, the frozen sliced red onion you can buy cooks down to really delicious caramelised onions for burgers ☺️
If you can find space for a box grater or a bar grater like a microplane (those are a little on the pricey side though), you can grate directly into bowls/pots. Also, get yourself some metal bowls, so if you accidentally knock something over, you won't have broken glass/ceramic/plastic bits to deal with on top of the food mess.
Also useful when staying in every AirBnB ever.
Do you have the floor space to enlarge it? Because you can get a reasonably priced kitchen island at IKEA.
Otherwise there's the old trick from the 60s (I think) with the "built-in" chopping board that pulls out like a drawer. But that'll require some carpentry skills.
Literally no idea how Mike stuck the landing on that, but it looked great! Some sort of bread (paratha?) on the side would have been great too I reckon
A tortilla bread probably would have worked great
This was great. Actually seeing them stuck in the reality of "random fridge ingredients need to be used up" really hit the spot. Now I want to see Ben do two meals with the same 6 to see how he'd change their choices and if he'd come up with anything totally new.
I really love the idea of core ingredient picking order. You could really tell that while barry was more in his comfort zone because of first picking, it gave mike the perfect amount of time to think of something out there and how to make it work
Do wonder if the Huttlestorm realizes there's folks who root for him without fail, still thankful for all the times he's carried the team.
#teamhuttlestorm
Barry is an absolute menace for leaving Mike with haddock, lentils, and rhubarb hahaha loved this one boys xx 🇨🇦
I think Mike has turned a corner in his skill in cooking! Even under pressure, he didn't flap about.
SO proud of him for pulling it all together there at the end. To me, it seemed like over time in the back of his brain he's been subconsciously absorbing the lessons & *today* they all came together in the front, producing a yummy winning dish!
🎉YOU GO, MIKE🎉
When Mike poured that out of the pot, I thought it looked delicious. Immediately wanted to try it.
My favourite battles are always the ones where the boys aren't prepared. Love it
Wait... they prepare for other battles?
@@chaoss5 There's definitely been a few videos where it starts with a "surprise" ingredient, then they send the boys somewhere to learn about said ingredient(or the other way around, learning about an ingredient, then it's part of a battle) and there are other times that they're preparing recipes made for them by the food team(idk how much input the normals have with these recipes). I still like those videos, but I love seeing what everyone is able to truly come up with on the fly.
@@chaoss5 Majority of videos they're preparing recipes that their food team developed. A lot of people think these guys don't qualify as "normal" anymore, but they're just good at following a recipe. When they have to improvise they're still exceptionally normal.
This is the sort of Sorted I love. Two nice recipes, a lot of improvising, friendship, banter and laughter. Jamie would add to the shenanigans and that's a cherry on top!
First off I LOVE this format! Also, really impressed by both lads but especially Mike clinching the win at literally the last second. I'd love to see more of this. Please make sure Jamie is in the next one versus Mike since that has hilarity written all over it. That and it gives the boys a chance to catch up with Baz
I haven’t laughed so hard at anything for a while as I did when Ben said Barry “cucumbered on top” 😂
I'm just surprised no one said "cukake."
Mike pulling it out of the bag ! A win for Mikes everywhere !
Oh dears this seems like a car crash waiting to happen
Which is why I can’t look away 🫣
Man I love this so much, at the start Barry having this evil scheme taking all the ingredients that made sense leaving Mike with the "well I guess he lost" and Mike just being like "Hold my beer I'm gonna show this evil schemer who is boss" 🤣
13:24, Barry's face says it all, "how the bloody hell have you done this" 😄
Mike is so humble. He remembers things he has done and applies them. Very well done - we are rooting for you!
Yassss finally. I have been asking for such unplanned battles for a while now
Can't wait to see the chaos
i was super impressed with what they did in those 15 minutes. that's quite the time pressure
Rhubarb is a great addition to Indian food. I have created a hot rhubarb pickle to accompany curries. (I can't grow limes in my garden.)
I'm legitimately proud of both of you!! Those were incredible dishes in no time to prep or cook really, this channel always brings me joy to see ya'll triumph!
Good job Mike! I feel that lately he's needed that confidence and I'm so glad he has a chance to prove that he is a great normal chef in his own right
honestly, mike’s dish is one of the best looking things i’ve seen in a while
This is honestly one of my favorite videos. Mike's Huttlestorm into an amazing looking dish blows me away every time I watch it.
Just started the video and Barry saying '4' instead of 3 is killing me already
Math always tricks him up
that and the way they transitioned from Mike's reaction to the title credits had me in stitches 😂
Mike absolutely proved that he can do amazing things when he puts his mind to it! honestly, I would have given him the badge but not Barry. Nothing he did really stood out to me as faster than usual
Agreed. While it looked good, Barry just slapped a steak on a salad while Mike made a whole-ass CURRY in 15 minutes, that alone should get him the speedy badge.
Definitely wouldn’t have given Barry the badge. If the gold is speedy cooking, you still need to actually cook the food well. Steak was under Dunn for what he was aiming for, and he didn’t actually do anything with the cucumber he just chopped it up and cucumbered it all over the dish.
To be fair, Barry did speed up his dish by selecting easy to work with ingredients.
I know Barry’s math is bad, but man… “4” bunts 😅😅😅
I absolutely love to hear the guys cheering each other on, even in a battle scenario. I think Barry was almost as happy for Mike's dish as Mike was! 💖👏
Mike definitely deserved the win here. He did something totally unexpected with such random ingredients. Way to go!
I started watching you guys from the beginning of your journey on YT!
When my husband and I started dating I introduced him to your channel and he also loves you all as much as I do!!
He now lets me know that “his friends” put out a new video lol. I thought you’d get a laugh out of that!
I still feel they should have actual badges on their aprons.
Ben and Barry's simultaneous head turn was classic.
I think Mike's should appear as a Sidekick! this was a lot of fun to watch on a steamy Sunday morning... Thanks! much love from Oklahoma, US!!!
Starting off with Barry not even being able to count correctly, I’m sure this will go swimming
I don’t waste time, I immediately play when it’s uploaded 🥰🥰🥰 I’m still not disappointed with this guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've been hoping for a video like this! Thanks guys
I love how they rib eachother and make jokes but at the end of the day are quick to compliment eachother.
Awesome job Mike! Totally awesome you did an amazing job and went out of your comfort zone
A lovely battle to spice up my late-night studying... cheers from Australia!
Cheers!! Enjoy and good night 👍
"Cucumbered" is my new favorite euphonism 😂
Loved the energy in this one. You guys nailed it.
Oh man, that was amazing! I was almost certain this would have been a disaster for Mike, but it turned it around and now I actually want to taste that curry!
Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the Community! Mike’s face in the beautifully crafted thumbnail says it all lmao
I loved this format! Please do more like this in the future. I love the normal cooks planning out their dishes on the fly.
This is a fun format, mimicking the choices you face when you want a quick supper after work with whatever you have in the fridge,. More of these, please.
This is going to be Insane and I'm here for it!
Let’s go!
No Jamie? Too busy moonlighting on a Jolly video the other day! 😂
Is he cheating on us?! How dare he!!
That was a fantastic episode though!
@@SortedFood you didn’t know? He went to the Italian cafe for a full English breakfast. Can’t remember the name, but it’s 100% been in one of your videos before!
@@jessiep2471 all the food looked amazing tbf…and I do like a Jolly/Sorted crossover
I really enjoyed the cute little back and forth about Barry's blond hair at the end. Mike was very supportive.
So fun to watch and such quick, simple dishes. Loved it, loved it, loved it!
Both of the boys absolutely deserved the badge, Barry for showing how you only need a few ingredients to make something good and Mike for showing just how much you can do in 15 minutes with some hacks
Mike's one look so mouthwatering! He has done an amazing job 👏👏
This is a great format - love this. Please keep it!
Those closeups of Mike's dish had my mouth watering! Beautiful.
The ultimate swap the ingredients battle, normals are given the same budget and they buy the ingredients and then they explain the dish they are making and then the ingredients get swapped randomly and then they had to make the dish which the other normal just explained
Oh brilliant! We need to make this happen. 🙌
That will cause meltdowns and chaos. Yes please.
Barry: “woo hoo!” Ben: I like the confidence, that’s what we need. Mike: I will season this, water it down, and blend this despite your dirty cheffy looks!
Cucumbered on top huh Ben.
Ive been laughing for the past 5 mins cuz of Ben's hand movements 😂🤦🏾♀️.
Oh Ben ben ben...
We’re sorry about him. Ha
@@SortedFood oh dont be, it was hilarious😂🤭.
This was brilliant and inspiring. Thanks, guys!
o dear o dear!
Loved and appreciated the format of todays episode, super relatable
Great job, Mike! I had no idea how you were going to marry all of those ingredients together, and you knocked it out of the park. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go spread the verb "cucumbering" to my friends 😂
Awesome, guys!!! Great job...
Love this format!!!
This was such a roller coaster to watch! Absolutely amazing!
Nice to see frienly competition between Barry an Mike. Both with good criticism for the other dish. More of this unplanned format please! Quite a refreshing video. Oh and Ben Cucumbering was quite a laugh! Well done gents
More Mike in front of the camera! YES!! He's such a relatable and hilarious presence and he does good work all round but more of him in challenges please! ❤️
Love the unplanned battles! The food team is spectacular, but it’s so entertaining to see actual scrambling for ideas from the guys!
This was a great episode. Loved the concept. In reality, this is what cooking on a fly looks like.
I was so confused why Mike was upset that Ebbers was explaining the tricks he used to cook faster, until the _very next cut_ when Ebbers explained that the badge up for grabs was... *explaining the tricks they were using to cook faster*. Ebbers!
great video, always good to see the normal guys have to wing it and see what they come up with, reminds me of any time I just see stuff in the fridge or cupboard and just throw it together and hope for the best lol
When Mike giggles and squeaks...it's the best sound ever! It just makes me happy!
Haha it's your first time playing spin the bottle isn't it. .. way to tease him about growing up a nerd 🤣🤣 hilarious . You guys honestly did so well !
I feel like Barry’s childish glee at Mike’s predicament perfectly sums up the relationship between the boys!- he totally chose those with screwing Mike over in mind!🤷♀️🤣🥰
I love this format!
Love this format
Badges well deserved! I identify with Mike so, so much. Under the pressure of time, he adapted, and although not the original plan, the final result was a success. Mike just needs to trust more in his cooking skills.
I really loved this format ! It was more realistic and chaotic while still producing mouthwatering dishes. I hope you bring it back in the future !
Out of years of watching you guys. Mike's dish here may be the dish I've most wanted to try! Such a good come about in the end with still no clue how it might taste. Shock and awe. Well done.
