- James May admits that he isn't great at cooking, hence why he has filmed a show for Amazon Prime that specifically targets recipes that anyone with even the slightest hint of common sense can put together.
In this video, James investigates 'kitchen gadgets', analysing the latest and greatest tech to see whether they'd have a place in his kitchen. He likens a does-everything breakfast machine to the concept of religion... So you know this video is a good'un.

Joy: There's smoke coming out of it
James: There IS smoke coming out of it. That's interesting. *stares at it*
thats the mark of a true gear head...
It's likely they didn't clean it before. Just oil from manafacturing burning off
Only James would see smoke coming from a cooking device and say it's "interesting."
This is the same guy who would point a shotgun barrel toward his face
So I'm not surprised 🤣
I will take any cooking advice seriously from someone who cooks better than Gordan Ramsey. Can we get the legendary fish pie recipe?
It's on the Prime show! Pretty much watched it all this morning.
@@jackspence6061 I agree, early shift at work, watched the entire series in my evening off
Use fish flavored cat food and instant mash
Step 1: Drink 40 litres of wine
@melvin e So that would mean just about everyone then. Especially now that we know it's Nikki who does all the cooking.
7:23 What would the modern teenager have whilst sitting, eating?
James May: A Spliff 😂👌
You beat me to it by 3 days.😏🤣
@@z.niamut4045 And you beat ME to it by a day!
@@morkusmorkus6040 Aaand you beat me to it by one hour
It's from his days as a bus driver smoking spliffs while waiting for old Mrs Harris to get on the bus
U beat me by 2 weeks
That pastamaker is a classic “I can’t believe it works” device. Definitely earns a spot in my cabinet alongside the breadmaker, never to be used
Breadmakers are fantastic...I use mine all the time.
A normal crank pasta maker and roller works well, takes half the time to clean, and costs less than $20. It also will take up less space.
That's the way to go if you want to make your own pasta. It doesn't need to be so complex
@@charlesharper2357 I dont use mine well the older bigger one anymore to bake bread in it, but I use it to kneed the dough as it handles a much larger amount like 1.5 kgs worth. I dont bake in it anymore as the non stick is no longer there. But sometimes when i want bread fast I get the other unit out.
@@COASTER1921 but you have to make the dough by hand. Which can take up a lot of time. And also, the normal 20$ pasta maker is miserable, it breaks about twice per serving.
@@charlesharper2357 a breadmaker does nothing a bowl and an oven don't do. I make delicious sourdough breads at least once per week and don't need more tools.
James May could do literally anything and I'll still watch😅
His cookery show is now available to view.
he should finally do that video explaining how a wing mount mounted upside down creates more downforce then traditional wing mounts.
I'm pretty sure I could find a limit/exception to that assertion.
@@jaykay5369 🙄
There are even James May audio books which is hilarious since Jeremy Clarkson finds them boring
Why is no-one talking about the fact James chops an onion LIKE A LEMON?!?!
U'm asian looks pretty normal to me
Because he admitted straight up that he doesn't have a clue about what he is doing?
@@zakiry8634 exactly, he cut into quarters with the skin on like a lemon 🤣
He did say he was trying to make himself cry.
@@Jeffers421 That's the way to do it. Then peel the skin, nipping off the top when you do it. Then chop each quarter discarding the hard root.
This isn’t the bunker, smh
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
No in this show he will actually try to make some real food. In a real kitchen.
@@pedersenist its a joke
@@pedersenist I wonder if this is a studio kitchen somewhere or if this is just done in his actual house. It looks pretty posh.
@@pedersenist This isn't the kitchen from his show either though.
Square eggs are just as useful as round fridges.
Much better as Square eggs are eggs in a row.
You can cut down slice by slice without head's or butt's
I'm going to wager a guess that the point of square eggs is that you can serve someone a whole uncut hard-boiled egg and it won't roll around on the plate.
Well they aren't going to roll about so I guess it's kind of useful.
Not that it's square. It's not two dimensional. It's a cube egg.
@@alvatoredimarco I really think it's just for posh aesthetic reasons rather than any practical application
@@toastedt140 This was first invented in the 1970's, (I know, I was there), to help with making egg sandwiches. As other folk have said, to fit square bread. There was also a tomato cuber for the same reason.
“...some of them, in my opinion, are a senseless waste of humanity’s capacity for endeavor and invention.”
The eloquence 🤩👌🏻
This isn't James May, he wouldn't stand for a dripping tap.
I so wanted to say something about that tap, lol....
He's probably just running an experiment to find out how many drops of water it takes to fill his sink or something.
Since this takes quite a long time, they had to film while the experiment was still in progress.
The dull knife seems even more un-May like.
This is pretty poor to be honest.
Obviously that isn’t James kitchen as it looks like a kitchen that is used for cooking.
"Now one part of this is a coffe maker. I can reduce this from the way it says coffee maker." Great detective skills James.
Hey James seen you on this morning and I noticed that you didn't use lurpak butter which was invented in 1901
did you mean lurpak spreadable butter, invented in 1903?
@@nomiguda I heard that it was lurpak spreadable butter, invented in 1902. 😁
😂😂
@Matthew Hopkins So Lurpak is big in non danish countries:P?
@Matthew Hopkins Fun, we have a rich history spanning back to the 1800's selling butter to England etc. Lurpak is our biggest butter brand for sure, but many variations can be bought here. Kærgården, Bakkedal etc.
"egg pasta is more sophisticated"
Italian viewers: *screaming uncontrollably in mamma mia*
Just put a slice of bread onto the mince, it soaks the fat right up and gives you a tasty snack while the mince is cooking.
That kind of defeats the purpose of getting rid of the fat so you don't get fat yourself, though.
Ja Kooistra fat isn’t necessarily a bad thing for you. Too much of anything is bad for you!
@@theothertonydutch Thats not what makes people fat, its carbs that make people fat, hence why obesity rates sky rocketed after than anti fat craze.
@sddas asdasd Well obviously there are different types of fat: saturated, polyunsaturated, trans fats etc. Avocados contain monounsaturated which can help to lower cholesterol
Or just scoop the mince out of the pan with a slotted spoon and pour the fat away...
“What would the modern teenager have while eating?”
Nobody:
James- “a spliff” dead 💀
“Chip shops open”
James May - 2020
"what is essentially a steamer"
*leaves the lid on*
youtube: "james may roasting kitchen gadgets"
me at 4 am: I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
Plot twist..Joy invented all of these and is very proud of them
9:35 of getting stressed by a dripping tap
agreed!
Too true!! If that's dripping like that 24/7... 😫🥺
James why are you surprised your bacon was steamed? When have you ever put a lid on a frying pan when cooking bacon?
I guess it wasn't idiot-proof.
I Like The Fact That Nothing Is Edited when They Say " Edit that out " its fact, Be it this show or Any involving jeremy ,richard ,and james, I think thats why we like it so much.
Title: "James vs. Gadgets"
My brain, immediately: "Hey Bim, guess what!"
I think you'll find that first "gadget" isn't designed for somebody with a fully-equipped kitchen, but somebody living in a bedsit without a cooker. As such, it might perform a function.
James has some sort of "kitchen" in his bunker though
Here we get a glimpse of the new pub menu.
Marinade steaks and cubic eggs. (I refuse to say square eggs, when they are clearly cubes. James should know that.)
When I saw the thumbnail I thought James got a new pair of fancy reading glasses 😂
I did too. I was worried the “Children’s Television Presenter Glasses” we’re gone. 😱😱
That pastamaker is a classic “I can’t believe it works” device. Definitely earns a spot in my cabinet alongside the breadmaker, never to be used
“What would a modern teenager want while they’re eating?”
James with no hesitation: “a spliff”
Dear James May, please fix the leaking faucet in the background.
Us Brits call it a tap
A faucet!? What in the flying tea bag is that!?
Us Aussies also call it a tap, ‘faucet’ sounds snobbish 😂
that was driving me insane...
This series is the embodiment of those comments from years ago saying "the top gear trio is so great together, even when they do cooking show I'll watch it". Well not all three but you get the point
I wish that I could be as happy as James is watching noodles come out of a noodle maker
James May + Barry Lewis Kitchen gadget Collab when? 😂
Hear, Hear
7:28
James May, a Youth Icon.
What is spliff?
@@yusronashari a joint haha
@@Alpenmagier Thankyou
9:35 solid minutes of James calling himself an idiot. I like this.
Literally no-one ever:
Let's have a square egg.
its like a bunch of 40 year olds thinking that it would apeal to minecraft player because its square
@@renz1013 the egg squarer has been around since way before even minecraft. I used to sell them back when I worked part time at a gadget store. No idea why anyone would want square eggs tho
Idk why, but my dad had one when I was a kid and for some reason I absolutely loved having square eggs
@@Excludos maybe they don’t roll away?
@@Excludos I'm guessing it was meant to be part of the whole bento box fad from a while ago. A squished up cube egg would take up much less space in those little containers and be more aesthetically pleasing than a stack of round egg slices, since it's a square inside another square. Questionable usefulness these days, but at one point it had an actual purpose.
My guess on the transparent plastic gadget was, that it was meant for shaking garlic cloves to remove the skin.
As for cubic hard-boiled eggs, I do think they have a lot of merit in packed lunches, as several such eggs are less likely to move about and bang against stuff. However, as someone with room for a dishwashing machine, it fails on my fourth criterion of cost-benefit when I have to manually wash it after each use. Especially when I’d really want 3 of them to use in parallel, then have to wash all 3. No!
Unsolicited garlic peeling tip: Cut the root end off with a knife (big one), lay the flat of the knife on the clove, place the heel of your palm on the knife over the clove, push down forcefully with your body weight crushing the clove under the knife, the skin slips off of the crushed clove easily. Dicing the clove is optional, crushing is sufficient for most recipes.
That little "all in one" coffee maker/toaster oven/frying pan device is for people like college students and people who live in a one room apartment boarding houses who don't have access to cooking appliances. It's just a little something to get them by. All you need is a mini fridge to go with it.
Just copy everything Sorted does with James May . Brilliant strategy
Useless or not... he decides
What havent sorted done lol
........because this hasn't been done 1000 time before both.... Are you new to the human species?
Brilliant strategy would be seeing James on Sorted and Sorted in the bunker 😁
Lol I like that idea a lot
I am convinced onions aren't as strong as they used to be.
He cut the wrong part of the onion. To release the chemicals you have to cut the hairy tale off
@@isaacdeeley8698 Well that's probably not true?
@@isaacdeeley8698 That's a tall tale.
Pro Tip:
If onions make you cry, just sharpen your knives.
Word. And shallots makes you cry more than onions.
Or don’t cut the tail off until the end
or buy better onions. or both.
Make the onions cry
I mostly love James if he is doing car stuff but i have to say i binged his Japan tour at one day and im really thrilled about his New Show after seeing this:D
Want to see a James May - Adam Savage collaboration.
Can we add Micheal Stevens from Vsauce?
that dripping faucet in the background is killing me.
why do I even watch these
Art.
James.
Because James.
James May, it's as simple as that
This was fun. More gadget videos please :)
"its the birth of pasta" that should be a shirt.
Just a reminder that Captain Slow beat Gordon Ramsay in a 1v1
Thanks, James. This was fun.
Joy is literally the most beautiful and caring person I have ever seen.
I liked the little chicken looking egg separator he had on one of the cookery episodes
kitchen gadget idea: a working kitchen in a van
me: top gear intensifies
cooking videos were the next logical step for james after top gear
Does anyone know what the brown drawers are on the counter? Is it something specific or just storage?? Ty!
Looks like condiment or tea storage of some sort...
Spice rack maybe?
James, you need to get a new tap washer in that tap to stop the drip! 😂
glade i'm not the only one that saw it...
I love how he stepped back when joy passed the baster 🤣
😅😅i enjoyed that!
He forgot to say "like, comment and subscribe" though!
You're slipping James! Lol
What's the countertop cabinet with many drawers on James's left (audience right)? Utensil storage? Spice rack?
Man's got eyes of steel. Onions never fail to make my eyes turn into waterfalls.
This was a lot of fun. Keep it up!
Monty Python tries cooking. lol I'm sold.
Its a coffee maker, i can deduce this from the words “coffee maker”
I down-voted this as there was no V8 powered blender.
" This one makes pasta" "all type of pasta" * italian music starts playing *
The egg press is used to create consistent egg slices for canapes or tiny sandwiches. I heard about these, but it was in the past tense, a Victorian Egg Press. They were used for picnics. I want one, where can I get one?
Is Hammond hiding under the counter? He’s very discreet - can’t see him at all!
Nah, he's just standing normally
They couldn't find a box tall enough.
„Is it idiot proof? It‘s for idiots“ 😂
i think you forgot the graphics.
I want to know what that brown wood chest on the back countertop is.
Possibly a spice rack
i cant stop watching the faucet drip
When I see new James may content. It makes me feel like a child again excited about the unexpected 5 min cartoon before the news or next boring episode of coronation Street.
James in the thumbnail looks like British Jackie chan
I didn't notice the dripping tap because I was too preoccupied with how the LED tape has been taken right to the end so casts a wedge of light onto the side of the oven. Having it stop 50mm short of the end would still light the worktop but would do so more discreetly.
James youre fantastic.... Thanks for all moments you made us laugh 😁
"quirky"
*Doug DeMuro wants to know your location*
That faucet dropping in the background, please tighten it. NOW!!! 😜
1:59 and you're sacked! lol
Dried pasta is actually more authentic. Pasta was often made to store and keep for days when fresh food was not available. And dried pasta allows you to achieve the al dente texture as well as make richer sauces.
You know a square egg is useless when even Minecraft has egg-shaped eggs.
I got the chopper upperer due to James' book. Plan on ordering a vomiting chicken soon lol
Don't expect crispy bacon when you put a lid on the grill!🤣🤣
The dripping sink is a nice touch
The tap is dripping mate,I'm a plumber ,give me a call 🤣
Was anyone else completely distracted by the tap that was continuously dripping?
Of course not. Only a mad person would find that distracting.
Love your cooking show...best in a very long time!
Does anyone else have James may high up on their 'I'd like to get baked with this person' list?
Why aren't we in the bugout bunker?
Onion goggles look like the ones they put on the top gear dog lol
I like how they kept every scene where James said can you edit around it
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BUNKER!! WE WANT BUNKER!!
'A spliff' made me laugh way more than it should have
Her apron says "Cooking with Joy!" I love it 💙
I really didn't think James would find a gadget that fit all 3 requirements. But I really like the pasta maker the most.
Any idiot? Don't overestimate my idiocy! 😂
I fully expected him to "Roast the kitchen gadgets" on the stove
I actually quite like the pasta maker, since I make pasta dishes reasonably often.
The pasta maker blew my mind!
I love these videos.
You can make amazing square eggs using a pop-out silicone cube ice tray and quail's eggs. You can make LOTS of little eggs for salads, antipasto, etc that way.
I get rid of unwanted fat in cooking by using a silicone basting brush.
When you let your nephew do the sound effects on your video
this was wildly entertaining
It's not out on PrimeVideo here in Brazil yet!
