I'm just blown away that Ben says they have fat, on fat, on fat...and they go, we'll cut through it with a mayonnaise 😂😂😂
And also let’s make a centrepiece that’s just fat and fat and oil
Ben going really passive aggressive when he was reminding them that they were putting too much fat into the dish was classic Ebbers 😂😂 he would never unfairly criticise them but he tried to prod them in the right direction covertly to try and make them consider what needs to happen and requires changing instead of outright instructing them to take action, except none of the normals took his relatively gentle warning and continued to throw fat in a number of different forms into the dish and then trying to make amends when the damage was irreparable
This had real "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed" energy from Ebbers. I felt like I was watching 3 schoolboys getting told off by the teacher 😅
But don't you think Ben was as impartial as possible and pointing out what had gone wrong and how they could improve? I kind of got the feeling he felt sorry for them. Maybe a bit disappointed and surprised. 🤔
I would LOVE to see what Kush was going to make with these ingredients! 😄
Great suggestion!
I think a big Hot Pot and Pajeon were on the cards!
Some form of Korean noodles and Jeon probably.
Definitely! Kush's fridge ingredients, fabulous. Lots of things that I pick up from the international food market when I go, but I don't really have any clue what to do with them beyond some very basic things. So seeing what Kush would do would be really great!
Yes,me too.
I’d love to see a segment where Ben cooks predominantly with ingredients he’s never eaten before. Getting to see the process behind tasting, understanding and then implementing would be super interesting!
It could be a very valuable lesson for home cooks! The alphabetical challenge is some sort of that, where Ben not always is well informed about the dish, but makes decisions based on the ingredients.
Well, in the mystery box episode versus jamie, we saw that. And Ben, unlike jamie, didnt taste anything.
Please tell me that you’ve also raided Bens fridge for the normals to deal with in a later video.
This is absolutely brilliant!
It will be that, combined with, "We cooked from Ben's Allotment"
I'm sure he has a lot of jarred things in there, mostly gin-related escapades.
@@the_jestyr583 and we will call it: A taste of Ben('s)
It's just Hundreds of springs of mint and some gin
Kush’s face is priceless. You can see him wondering what happened to all those nice options they discussed and the tasty ingredients that were in his fridge.
Regardless of the outcome, I always have pure respect for you all. This is NOT an easy thing to do, period. No way would I allow myself to be filmed doing it. LOL Best to ya, Boys.
"Let's not fall into old habits"

-Jamie adds more and more ... and more flavor
-and Barry left the hob on
LMAO
Seeing such a negative reaction from Ben is genuinely unsettling. He's like a disappointed parent
Ikr. I keep forgetting that although he's usually the chill one. That man still is a professional and give you critique like no other
It was a shocking display though. They see all that fantastic food and then really messed it up. Why no rice or noodle base? Why nothing fresh? Why two dressings?
They've come so far so yeah it's a little disappointing
That's my name LOL
Right??? He's usually so supportive and can find the positives even in mediocrity or outright failure. The fact that he's so negative about this makes me think it's *even worse* than it sounds. Poor Kush's fridge!
"give it to new daddy."
Mike continues to be the best part of Sorted. LMAO
Okay but did he have a baby? He hasn’t been on IG for years now!
He actually said “give it to me, you daddy”. I don’t think he’s a dad yet though.
@@anniemossct he's daddy to ME 😍
@@OracleAnneHis wife gave birth earlier this month to a beautiful baby girl, he definitely has new daddy powers! 👶😂
@@anniemossctHe is, beautiful baby girl born earlier this month. The new daddy powers will be a great advantage in any battles! 😂
Ben’s feedback at the end might as well have been “I’m not Angry, I’m just disappointed” 😂
"What I'm surprised at, is with those unfamiliar ingredients, you forgot the *absolute* basics?" was brutal 😅
I love that you guys still shared this video even though no one seemed particularly happy with the result! Thank you for showing us how you looked at the result at the end and talked over what could have been done differently. ♥️♥️♥️
Totally agree.
I got so excited when I saw the ingredients you had, and then Barry, Jamie and Mike happened. Oh dear.
oh dear, oh dear 😬
I would love to see non-timed challenges like this. Give the normals a real chance to work through the process and see what they come up with without the worry of a timed challenge.
I had an idea for a sneaky switch up on a "meals from leftovers" episode: the Normals get given leftovers and asked to cook some meals, Ben thinks he will cook something with the same initial selection afterwards but actually he gets the leftover leftovers that the Normals didn't use.
This gets a like especially for the concept of "leftover leftovers" 😂
Mike really took command of the kitchen in this episode, its cool to see the boys as such a strong team
As always, I tend to feel for Mike in these videos because he always seems to be the one willing to make the decisions while the other two faff around the edges, and even if he doesn't have a particularly good win rate with them, it does seem to be that he's the only one sticking his neck out.
Absolutely! The others go quiet and tend to make something garnish-y. Barry especially derailed the broth idea when he said someone needed to take charge of doing the broth then totally removed the responsibility from himself, so no one else wanted to take it on by themself
Okay this will be totally random but can I say how excited I was to read your comment and see u use the word faff I used it at the office this past week, to describe an employee who was spending all day getting nothing accomplished and everyone looked at me like I had three heads no one had ever heard the term before ...
@@DanielleKFinn, where do you live? This is a particularly British term, so people who don't live in the UK reasonably may have never heard it.
That said, given the context, the meaning would have been quite clear to me. I have heard it because I love British TV.
@@bcaye That's probably why I live in the USA but have family and have visited Ireland and the UK multiple times and also am a fan of British TV, so I do sometimes use vocab/slang/colloquialisms that people in the states don't know. It didn't occur to me that faffing was one of them as it's something that was used in my house growing up all the time especially when chores or homeworking weren't getting done quickly enough lol.
Mike to me has always been the middle man of the normals, he doesn't have as much of a diffinitive style as the other 2, Jamie is always Meat, and Whiskey, and flaour. Barry is Pretentious, plating, fancy ideas. If either of them had been the decision maker, then no doubt, the other would have argued with their choices. As long time friends, ithink they know this full well and choose Mike intentionally in the spirit of teamwork.
I would like to see 2 videos come out of this one. 1. Put Kush on camera with the same ingredients to show us what he can do by making 3 dishes. 2. Get the same ingredients again for each of the home chefs (normals) and have a cook off where they each have to prepare 3 dishes.
As someone with a lot of Kush's ingredients in their fridge, what the Normals were presented with was extremely challenging for someone not used to those foods. I felt tremendously sorry for them because they pretty much were set up to fail but they gave it their best go!
I was honestly surprised how much this challenged them - minus the tahini, it looked like a pretty straight-forward hotpot to me
@@oggopia It TOTALLY could have been a hotpot! But then they could have gone with a fusion nishime or a hoto.But I do understand the "challenging" aspect of it. I go over to the UK for weeks and a lot of my kitchen time is spent saying things like: you have to really beat up the lemongrass or don't be afraid of the fermented red bean tofu.
@@oggopia Agreed, but I think Ben's right part of the challenge to all the obvious stuff like that is it doesn't feel good enough for 3 cooks. Like when they did it with Ben's fridge they all turned out great dishes but there's no way any of those would have been the choice if they were all cooking together
It's absolutely hilarious that with the ability to communicate and planning time, the boys still managed to make a proper Pass It On disaster. Confused dish, too many ingredients, no concrete game plan, everyone doing their own thing despite what else is going on in the kitchen, Mike breaking down halfway through and panicking, Baz adding eggs to the detriment of the dish, and Jamie properly Spaffing it by deep-frying the pastry/wrappers. We need more of this!
I LOVE when all three are in the kitchen. It’s so fun and the friendship shines.
Maaaaan Mike's efforts on improve planning and explanation is really impressive. Great work guys!
having all those amazing Asian food ingredients and managing to make a salad + omelet out of it is incredible in a way.
im like... literally put most of that stuff into a pot together and it would turn out fine lol
This was chaotic in the best way. I would not have known what to do with those ingredients at all, so I'm still impressed by the boys' ability to get anything on the plate.
The sneaky little "what the fuck is that?" from Barry as he's cooking the omelette and looks in on their plating, absolutely brilliant. 🤣🤣
12:00
That tap on the table and lid opening is outright class! Way to go Mike!
Ooh now I want to see them all repeat this individually and see how differently it goes
Reminds me of being at a friend's after a night out and attempting to creat something from the nothing in their fridge LoL Kush definitely has more to work with 🤣
Haha..... it is a bit like that!
I love that Kush had laoganma and Chinese sausage! I’ve got those same ingredients in my fridge and they’re my go tos for adding lots of flavor to bland dishes
Would love to see this become a full series that different chefs send you images of what they have. Get in Poppy's fridge!!!!
Now she's got her fancy new telly job I bet she's got a lot more than just potato dishes in her fridge!! I wonder if she'll find time to visit the boys again soon.
Barry: (struggles to open jar)
Jamie: “Give it to Daddy.”
Mike, after seeing Jamie struggle: “Give it to new Daddy.”
Workplace Banter on point as always 😂
3:25 Mike displaying New Daddy Energy > Mike in the Shower.
Wait, did Mike and his wife have a new baby? Is that why he's new daddy?
@@heidilee_13 I'm wondering this too!
I’m on the wondering train too!
@@heidilee_13 don’t think so. It’s just part of the banter, I think lol
@@heidilee_13s his wife gave birth a few weeks ago to a beautiful baby girl. He definitely has new daddy powers! 👶😂
This was amazing! It’s awesome to see how Sorted has developed, not only our favourite faces of the show, but the behind the scenes must be huge. A whole operation going on, and a round of applause for everyone involved!
Does Mike have a leadership badge? Cause he really does step up when all 3 normals are put together haha.
With those ingredients I'd probably have made a soupey/stew thing or maybe a jeon or rice thing. But I'm comfortable with throwing ingredients together in an Asian style dish
As a Korean national born bred and living in korea, i’m happy to see jonggatjib kimchi! It’s the best brand for ready to eat kimchi, and it’s my family’s preferred brand
I love seeing more of kush. He's such a character, In The best way possible.
I would love to see a re-take where they each compete with the same ingredients. Even now knowing what they are, it would be fun to see what they took away.
Congratulations to Mike on the new baby! And Barry for cutting his hair!
Love how Barry was enthusiastically eating and distributing what he thought were bay leaves at the beggining, even though those would be toxic to eat.
Bay leaves are not toxic. They have been used for centuries as a medicinal herb. A quick Google would have prevented this misinformation.
over a year ago i commented that i was going to do a culinary education,
next week monday after doing an education, internship and other learning im starting work in the restaurant of a well known hotel chain where i live
im very excited :) thank you all for being an inspiration to so many aspiring cooking enthusiasts
Best of luck ! .. ✌️🧡
The fun thing about this is trying to imagine something close to what they are trying to make!
At first i was thinking an Asian style leek soup, at the end i thought it was gonna be some type of okonomiyaki!
the thing about having a plan is, don't abandon it unless you have a better plan. Right off the bat they dumped what they'd been planning and replaced it with a shrug and just started frying things hoping that eventually a plan would materialise.
Frankly, I love the transparency of this video. Even with all the years of practice and how amazing chefs our “normals” have become, there are times where you just kind of go for it and it flops. There’s nothing wrong with these mistakes, so long as we take the time to learn from them as Ben took the time to discuss, not only as they worked but also when they were debriefing at the end. It wasn’t in a sassy event like what happens when Jamie manages to piss off an entire country or when Barry decides to be Barry - it was a thorough discussion of what fell through, and what could be done to prevent that from happening in the future.
I’d love to see them attempt a similar challenge in the future, just to see what they’ve retained from this experience and how they’ll adapt to create something truly delicious ☺️
I'd love to see yall do a series of videos that are essentially come dine with me, you're guys all host a dinner party each week for a few weeks. Maybe at each other's homes, or with a house sound stage yall rent and the host that week decorates then sets up the meal as though it was a dinner party
Everyone seemed so calm, but it was more in the way they felt they failed even before they started, how unfortunate
You know it's gonna be a storm when they spend half the time trying to find out "what's this thing"
😁😁 I'm so ready for the chaos..
Funny how Ben said he wants to see the boys in a restaurant hospitality environment, i also want to see them spend a day in a restaurant.
Prep through service and all that
I felt like Ben was actually scolding the Normals at the end there "Get on the naughty step! Think about what you've done! 😤" 🤣🤣
I appreciate that this is such a fail but you still release it. Very humbling
This is one of many times I wished I could just jump through the screen and took over, you had everything for an amazing soup with the glace and miso and and sausage and the veg, pretty sure if they had given each of you the same ingredients separately as Jaime said it would have come out much better.
I learned that you guys don't listen to each other - you kind of come up with a plan and then throw it out the door. But I still love you all and thank you for the information, education & entertainment you provide!
Jamie’s “give it to Daddy” had me in stitches 😂
1:22 Jamie and Ben giving Kush’s “secret” weekend plans away! 😂
A wonderful demonstration of how enough uncertainty turns us back into complete beginners.
One of the first times I've seen Ben so disappointed 😭I would have loved to see what Kush would have made with those ingredients.
If I had access to rice, I would have thought to make a claypot rice and maybe some dumplings on the side. Could have used the chicken glace to make a quick stock together with the leeks to be used to cook the rice along with those mushrooms and the lup cheong (chinese sausage). Mayyybe could have added the snow fungus for some crunchy texture in the claypot rice but that's normally used in desserts believe it or not! With the dumplings could have chopped up the kao soi (chinese chives) and added it to some minced pork and/or the kimchi for some acidity amongst all the rich flavours and maybe chopped cabbage for the filling?
"I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed"
-Ebbers, probably
Barry: “It didn’t need more chilli.”
Me: “I cannot compute this data.”
I absolutely love how honest and constructive this was. I'd love to see the video that Ben wants to see, where the normals all give this a go by themselves, but with advance planning.
This is the best Mike has EVER been. I don't think I've ever seen him take control as concisely and as confidently as he did here, even when he wasn't sure about the broth, he accepted it was out of his wheelhouse and adapted on the fly! New year, new Mike!
I think this was the best teamwork I've ever seen from the boys, but it was just the wrong setting
What an interesting collection of ingredients! Loved their responses to some of them.
Clearly Kush' refrigerator is filled with amazing gems many normals have never seen before.
It’s interesting to see so many Chinese ingredients in Kush’s fridge! And they are quite specific! As a Chinese person living abroad I don’t even have Doufuru (the jarred fermented bean curd) in my fridge
So many amazing Asian flavours to use and choose from...and the boys made a salad XD
Wind cured sausage (lap cheong) can be used for claypot rice.
Fried rice or some kind of pajeon can use some of the ingredients.
Vegetable sticks can be made with different sauces (tahini, laoganma, aioli).
Mushrooms (needle mushrooms), miso and tofu could make a simple soup.
I love this running joke about bay leaves xD
My guide as a normal is always to simplify as much as possible, so it well and add flare. They had the base there to make a really good bowl of ramen. Topped with sausage, corn, the Choy thing and kimchi.
I think i started laughing around 9:30 and didn't stop until the end 🤣🤣🤣
You'll have a six pack soon! 😂
That was a collective huttlestorm 😂
This is a live action representation of the saying "too many cooks spoil the broth" EDIT: I wrote this RIGHT before Jamie said it lol
How about combining the two concepts: Pass It On and Cook what is in a Chef's Fridge.
Everyone sees the ingredients beforehand so they know what they may see and then you get the organised chaos of Pass It On as it is one person in the kitchen at a time leaving confusion for the person after them.
Mike's leadership skills are vastly underrated
The fact they left in Barry's "What the fuck is that??" really took me out lmao
I'd love it if the guys could get a do-over of this. Either on their own or together. Just to see what they would do after failing and having some time to consider what they have to work with. Could result in some great dishes.
"Baz... You left the hob on." Classic Ben.
Now do one from Ben's fridge, with a wildcard half way through the cooking process that they also have to incorporate something from his garden 😂
As I was watching this video I kind of realised a couple of things. I'm training to teach at the moment so this will add context to point 1.
1 - Think of the end goal and then work backwards. Even if stuff isn't quite in your comfort zone, if you have an idea of what you want to achieve, you can fill in the steps from start to finish. Making it up as you go along is fine if you're comfortable and sort of know what you're doing, but if it's not in your wheelhouse, you'd probably end up flapping and end up with a disjointed or terrible outcome. It's something I learned pretty quick while planning lessons.
2 - If all else fails, make a casserole/stew.
Don't be too harsh boys! i feel as if as time goes on, you make less mistakes and therefore are harsher on yourselves. I feel like barely a few years ago it was a success if nothing burnt or ruined got on the plate. So congrats!
Not only do I want to see Ben’s ingredients but I want to see what Ben would of done with Kush’s ingredients!
If I had the same ingredients, I would've made a stew, with the sausage, kimchi, and mushrooms with the chicken glacé. A side dish of rice. I saw a spring roll in the pile, I'd saute vegetables with onions and garlic, wrap them in spring rolls and fry until crispy. Then a delicious passion fruit cocktail with chunks of fruit.
"He hasn't used up his Daddy powers yet." That actually hits when you realise his partner was in her third trimester at this time XD
Baz has fridge envy.
You got that right!
Kudos to you guys for posting your “failures” so others can learn right along with you.
3:18 excuse me Sorry What??? Did I miss something??? Does Mike and his partner deserve congratulations and all the best and good luck in a new journey??
Also him opening this jar was smooth AF, well done!
3:44 Did you leave ANYTHING in Kush's fridge???
I honestly think the normals actually did a good job
I watched the video and it felt to me throughout that they really tried to do something and work together and that everyone is equal and not that one decides on everyone, unlike things in the past.
And although they were afraid of using certain products, and its really logical thing that comes from lack of familiarity, they tasted and tried on the way and I'm proud of them.
Towards the end it was a bit difficult, but I really think you were too hard on yourselves and that the path you took here is more important than the final result.
This is the best sorted food video I’ve watched. Really relatable and learned so much.
…. I expect a „kush stole from our home fridges“ next, preferably with the normals freaking out and Ben laughing
Maybe include what ever is cooked as the price for some other challenge between the normals…..
My experience cooking with a larger group has been in field camp. I would say the biggest thing I learned is you have to communicate explicitly what you have in mind. I made stir-fry (too much work for that many people). It was often problematic, as we had the half-Asian who wanted it less cooked and the one with braces who wanted it more cooked. Then they bought "Chinese vegetables" in a can for me to make it again, but the bean sprouts just scorched to the skillet. We had 2 vegetarians, and one said that was enough meatless stir-fry, but then the other one got back and said it was not enough.
Rather than James' iconic "where's the dish" this one was more "what's the dish". Pure chaos, so much fat layering! A fried egg could have been nice with the wilted salad but they all did a bit too much.
Would love to see Kush and Ben take this exact ingredient bag and show their own spins! Or, at the end of a fridge raid video, have the owner of the fridge come forward with a "my plans for these were" section!
I love that you don't pretend to always make the best stuff? Internet is full of people pretending to be perfect, it's really lovely and human to sometimes see something that is not perfect and then you also discuss what you might have done different. Awesome job
I reckon a bit of divide and conquer was called for here - there were spring roll wrappers, make spring rolls! Each normal comes up with a filling they’re comfortable with, do some dipping sauces at the end, simple, tasty.
Gotta respect Ben for imparting good, constructive yet harsh criticism.
Would love to have seen how Kush and Ben would have worked with these ingedients.
Also.
I DEMAND MORE KUSH
I really loved the explanation from Ben at the end, really inspiring and informative, when you really take time to discuss and such. 👏👍
Congratulations Mike! You must have had so much on your plate these past months with a baby coming and planning the show!
Poor Kush and his fridge.
I was so excited when I saw the ingredients. There were so many ingredients for some lovely Korean dishes there and they completely failed to notice that. Oh dear.
I mean, playing to their strengths, they’ve put Barty in charge of turning on Hobbs!? Lol
Barry's obsession with "an egg bringing it together"
Oh dear, oh dear.
"Did you come to our Christmas show?" The face Ebbers made when he said that along with the voice sounded so disappointed.
I do this every time I don't know what I want to cook
1. Select the base or kind of dish you want to cook based on the basic ingredients you have🥑+🍆+🥔+🥕+🌽+🌶+🫑+🥒+🥬+🥦+🧄+🧅+🍄=🍲🤔
2. Select a plate or bowl you want to serve the dish in🍽
3. Set a time range for yourself so you don't waste time⏲
4. Start cooking👩🍳
Hope this helps but next time it would be better to have another grocery bag swap battle among the normals to see what happens and also throw in a curve ball halfway through and ask them to include an ingredient in the dish they must serve.
Quote of the year: "At the moment you are just going to have random mounds of cabbage." - Barry 🤣
I want to see an ultimate battle between the chefs and the normals where the normals get the ingredients from the chefs fridges and the chefs get the ingredients from the normals fridge.
You know, despite the fact that the guys kept feeling like things were going wrong after deciding to go with what was essentially a stir fry, I'm still puzzled that all three of them balked at making a SOUP BASE when you have CONCENTRATED SOUP BASE in a jar! :D C'mon guys. Add some water until you have a tasty gravy.
one of the biggest problems, i feel for this show is the time table. like if i am cooking a roast and its pork or chicken, i over cook it, just by 30 mins, pork and chicken have, quite a bit of fat in them, and over cooking a bit helps break the food down, so its less tough. having to do stuff in 30 or 40 mins just isnt enough time. i always give myself 40 to an hour of prep time on top of the cooking time. that way you can relex a bit, still get stuff done and not have to stress out.
