Ben exploding that avocado with zero hesitation was the biggest power play I've ever seen!
Ebbers has no shame.
For me it's still James cutting right through the avacado pit with those guns
BDE 😂
@@Nystariii What episode was that?
@@itz_lurk3r One of the remote control normals episode. I don't think it's the curry one.
I want an episode where Ben and Kush make food with and without bay leaf and see if they guys can taste the difference.
Or have Kush make it, and have Ben and the normals do the blind taste test.
This episode is long overdue!
Start with something simple where bay and maybe salt only things used then work up more complex blends.
fresh and dried herbs, too
@@pookhahare Bread sauce as the first?
The methodical review of the bowls of fruit where pretty much everyone would’ve just looked at it and said nope. 😂
I wouldn't have tried those blueberries 😂
Agreed. Once you see mold or sweat on some fruit it's in the bin it goes.
@@nanoflower1 put it in the compost or even just on you flower bed.
@@andrewmartin2103 You need to have a flower bed or need that compost first.
@@RiskOfBaeralso a fantastic way to invite pests into your garden
Ben channeling James with the anger at the absurdity of the Bacon Express. 😂
Imagine if it really was James.
@@sirBrouwer James would have managed to squeeze the solid avocado to the same effect as Ebbers managed the squidgy one
@@Fyreflier James completely changed the meaning of Sword in the Stone for me when I saw him cut clean through that avacado. Damn son 😍🤤
Came to the comments for this
Have to agree 100% with Ben's attitude towards the bacon gadget!! I thought it was just me who got annoyed by single purpose gadgets that don't even do the job properly - glad I am not alone!
I agree so much with this i also got annoyed!
You are not alone. Bad enough it exists. Horrible it doesn't work well.
Alton Brown calls them unitaskers and is similarly annoyed by them!
I 100% agree with this, who has the space or budget for gadgets that only do one thing and don't even do that well
Agreed. A unitasker that does the job perfectly and with minimal fuss, I'll use (like a toaster) but if it doesn't get a perfect result, I won't buy it
Ben has to be the most civil angry person I've EVER heard - love it
Ive missed kichen gadgets! Thanks for bringing it back 😊
We missed it too. Glad you enjoy this format 😁
what ive heard from someone who studied food science, the reason those savers dont do anything is because the ethylene is what triggers the decomposition/ripening process... once it has started it doesnt really matter anymore (at least with bananas)
and bananas that you buy have already had that process started, so they arent green anymore (they are prevented from maturing before being transported, so they dont go off and then triggered on the last mile so they ripen by the time they are sold)
not sure about other fruit - but for bananas, thats precisely why that kind of thing does absolutely nothing
Other fruits (plus bananas) you can put them in a paper bag and trap the gas, causing them to ripen faster. So if you're trying to make a peach cobbler by a certain date and your fruit isn't quite ready you can bag them up the day or two before and get more usable ones.
With bananas if you want to slow the process down, separate them from the cluster so they're not egging on each other's ripening.
@@Quest723The still does not matter for bananas - the ripening has already started and it happens inside the peel... whatever you do outside has negligible to no influence beyond potentially changing how fast the peel browns...which doesnt really matter for the banana itself
afaik the best thing you can do to keep fruit fresh for longer is to just store them in a fridge (well not bananas - those funnily enough are better to store at room temp)
@@SharienGaming the problem is also that they put it into cling film, so moisture was main reason for furry stuff and rotting
Exactly. All its doing is soaking up the byproduct, not actually fixing the issue.
@@poro9084 I was wondering if it would have done a better job if they had tested it in a fridge where one fridge had an open bowl of fruit with the saver and the other had the same mix of fruit without a saver. Leave them in there for however long it takes the one bowl to start to go off and do the comparison.
I'd love to see a gadget re-review, out of all the gadgets you've tested over the years which ones have you actually continued to use in the kitchen like the supoon for example.
That's a great idea! I've also been curious about the gadgets they kept and used after their numerous reviews.
I love how Ben is so fascinated by some of the gadgets yet slams others! That's why i love this series!
There's something different about the editing/vibe of the last few videos that I'm really digging. They feel more playful and lighthearted- or maybe I'm just imagining it lmao
Also - Barry's horror at Ben single-handedly crushing the avocado 😂
So glad you’re enjoying the newer style 🔥
@@SortedFood Bring back blooper at the end, please.
I second the blooper return
Me too
I appreciate the honesty with the reviews. Sometimes, understandably, I feel there’s resistance to giving out negative reviews. But it’s through knowing the negatives that we know the positives
Yup in the past i definitely felt the resistance to giving out never reviews. This episode was an excellent mix of great and bad products!
I love grumpy Ben! I actually think often the guys are too forgiving of some of the gadgets they get on, so great to see a more negative (and true to life) review.
I think the lesson here is to feed Ben *before* the gadget review instead of 3/4 of the way through. Amazing how Ben's rage was somewhat tempered after the snacks happened. 😂
the resealer is also really good for pranks. we had a friend gift us a packet of regular oreos, but he had taken half out, put different kinds in, and resealed it! he put some into the mini packets aswell 😅
that's brilliant! 🤣
It's good for pranks but it could also be used by someone with bad intentions, unfortunately, like putting in stuff that don't belong in packages, etc. :/ but I love the product though, I'll try to find something similar for myself.
@@jellycatfish ...everything can be used with bad intentions. A spoon could. Your hands can kill. That's a really sad outlook on life. I have a diagnosis and take medication for paranoia, and I didn't see that. Have you considered a psychiatrist? Because immediatly seeing a potential threat in a tiny hair straightener is not normal. You might be surprised, I know I was.
@@jellycatfish The thing with this resealers is, that once you open the package they're exposed to air. There is a reason why chip bags aren't fill to the brim other than greediness. They're filled with a gas that preserves them better than air.
The resealing still helps, though I might think you're better off buying a regular hair straigthner, they go for pretty much the same price, are bigger and heat up quicker.
@@maromania7 I don't think I have a sad outlook on life, and I wouldn't have mentioned this if someone had not said that this could be used as a pranking tool. Assuming that I might need a psychiatrist because of one TH-cam comment, and that I always see things this way, is kind of rude, and to be honest, hurtful. Of course everything can be used with bad intentions, I've never said otherwise. I am a fan of true crime, and recently watched a video about the Tylenol tampering case in Chicago in the 70s. I guess that's why my brain went that way.
Ben is SPOT on!! And the fact that Ben, like many of us have small kitchens, having needless items is something to avoid!
Ben is really channeling James in this one!
It may be after that trip in the alps.
I thought the exact same thing
Looking at the spice grinder, you'd be crazy to go for that over a mortar and pestle. They probably take up the same amount of shelf space but mortar and pestle will do all sizes of ingredients. Also gives a bit of a cardio workout with all that pounding 😉
And none of the plastic or electrical waste.
or just use a coffe grinder, it works on spice blends aswell
@@goranpersson7726 If you have one already, sure. Seeing as how the only thing I have is a blender, I'm picking M&P over spice or coffee grinder.
The containers not being airtight kills it. Until he said that I figured they wanted you to spend a fortune buying containers for all your spices and keeping them ready to go.
It went from expensive trap to kind of useless.
@@Sletchman Very fair point. As I say, I own none of those items. And my sole reason for M&P at its most basic is that it could be used if I did not have electricity at the time. I don't know why I wouldn't, it just really seems like a useful bonus.
As so many say, do I need a piece of kit for one job? I don't drink coffee, so it really would just be as a spice blender. But if I'm going to buy one or the other, you've swayed me to consider what grinders might be available :D because other than herb/spice blends what am I going to use M&P for? 🤷
I really think you guys need to do a series of "guess the missing ingredient" side by side with a regular dish so you can prove that bay leaves provide flavor
Ebbers' righteous indignation at The Bacon Express made my day! 🤣
Also I'm making the case to reserve leftover bacon grease in a jar in the fridge to use as cooking fat later. It's basically freebie oil and it tastes amazing! 🥓
I tend to grill bacon on a rack in a roasting dish, eat the bacon for brunch or lunch, take out the rack and then use the bacon grease already in the roasting dish to make potato wedges for dinner. It's so good with potatoes!
Ben pulls out giant bag of m&ms and says noone could finish all of these.
Me: Challenge accepted.
....yes I can! And pay for it painfully...
I was confused by that, because in the US that size/shape of m&m bag has a zip closure to reseal. (And, obviously, could still finish the bag...)
Lol America has entered the chat (with no shame in our game)
@@myladycasagrande863I've never even seen that size bag in the UK - I think they went to somewhere like Costco for them!
@@hannahk1306 party size bags are pretty easy to find here. Not exactly surprised that it's different there. Who really needs that many m&ms?
What a joy to hear Ebbers review the bacon gadget!
It really made my day!
One of your first gadget videos was the first sorted video I watched, years and years and years ago. Watched that and then within 2 months i had caught up with all your videos (thankfully only then about 10-12 months worth) still one of my favourite video types ❤
Wow! 10 months is pretty good going.
@@SortedFood I think you are the channel I’ve been watching the longest that’s still going!
This is PEAK Ebbers. 😂 I love seeing him be angry at dumb appliances.
It’s brilliant to witness huh? 😂
I think wrapping the fruit was the wrong move. The Saver may absorb gas, but I think it's meant to be kept a bit farther away and not left in direct contact with the fruit it's supposed to be saving. You're still isolating all the gas right there in the bowl instead of drawing it away. It's like you're trying to remove the water from a tub by just dropping a towel in it and see what happens.
Yeah but if your not wrapping it is the etheline gas not escaping anyway?
@@midgetfriendodog the issue is specifically with a fridge drawer, where it's not an airtight container but there isn't much movement of air.
Also, I think refrigeration would help, because the time difference between ripening, over ripening, rotting and molding is extended with refrigeration.
@@midgetfriendodog Exactly. Which is why you separate bananas from the bundle if you don't want them ripening past where they are. Pretty much just need airflow. I bet the stickers work better if you throw them in the fridge crisper drawer.
I don't understand why they didn't put the saver on the bottom of the fruit bowl. Seems to me that the saver draws the gas to it but being right at the top just concentrated it in one spot.
Was the product even meant to be able to prevent rot? Everything organic rots eventually, the gadget was only meant to slow down over-ripening, not prevent rot in a humid environment.
I think its worth pointing out that the "furry coat" has nothing to do with the "fruit ripening", so if you have to wait for mould to show up before a shelf life difference is noticed I feel this may not be quite so good >.
An over-ripe fruit may be more susceptible to mold, but yeah, pretty much this
exactly, the ethylene absorption doesn't replace proper storage. trapping all those items in a moist environment doesn't have anything to do with the impact of the gas. A little disappointed that Ben suggested wrapping a fruit bowl in plastic instead of giving info on how to properly store it.
Misread the title as *CRAZY CHEF Reviews Kitchen Gadgets!* ... might be a fun vid spinoff.
😂
ethylen is chemical which fruit naturally create and release to ripe - if you stop ethylene, they will stop ripening, if you put bunch of other fruit together and bunch of ethylene, it will ripen a lot quicker, the problem is - they put it into cling film, so moisture was the main problem, they should have it in different rooms without cling film
Ebbers crushing that fruit in his hands is the coolest I've ever seen him.
💪
@@SortedFood 💪
He was channeling James
If this is the coolest you've seen ben, you haven't seen him with a coconut machine!! 😎
Just made my first sorted sidekick recipe, sausage and apple stew on parsley mash. Loved using the audio and having Jamie talk us through it step by step. I slightly over salted mine but it is lovely.
I bet the sealed clingfilm bowls trapped too much moisture for the ethylene gas removal to make much difference. When I want to preserve stuff in the crisper, it’s all about loose wrapping with paper towels to absorb moisture. I’d be interested in seeing how the stickers work in those conditions.
Thank you for this Sunday upload. Today being Mother’s Day and considering I lost my mother in 2021, it’s nice to have one of my favorite channels have a new upload to keep me distracted, even if for a short amount of time. So thank you for that.
❤️❤️❤️
This was fun, I absolutely love Ben's reviews. The bacon express was ridiculous, I could imagine it started off as a hipster kickstarter project.
Sidenote: I've just made a batch of Irish Red Ale with bay leafs and cumin seeds as seasoning, it was a game changer. Don't underestimate the power of the bay leaf!
I agree with Chef 100% with all those useless, unnecessary, time consuming messy gadgets. A cook wants easy quick and useful gadgets that work each and everytime it's used and easy clean up is a must.
For the final gadget. If you're making curries or similar spices heavy dish. A mixer grinder makes more sense than this, especially considering the price. Will take more space to store but they also have other applications.
You can get good spice blenders for half that price and do a better job unless your hardcore and hand grind everything lol
I can see the resealer. being something I would buy. As an at home caregiver I open a lot of bags of things like crisps or ingredients for meals or the large bags of cereal, The clients are able to keep their products longer and with a lot less waste and most importantly for them with less loss of money on an already incredibly tight budget.
I have similar ones and they're really great.
Id suggest finding one that allows u to slide it across the opening so no matter how big the bag is it will seal it. The design of the one they tested baffled me
Still miss the benuendo and out take at the end
I hate to admit, I definitely could eat that 850g bag of M&Ms in one sitting...
We secretly all could 🤫
I think it'd be hilarious if y'all could get Alton Brown to come on the show and participate in a game and/or review some gadgets with Ben. Probably a very very long shot, but the thought of Alton being angry at kitchen gadgets with Ben gives me life XD I think it'd be neat to get Alton's honest thoughts on the sidekick app as well!
Especially Alton's extreme distaste for uni-taskers.
Great video and I love Ben's brutal (but fair) honesty! 😂😂 Storing coffee? Beans or pre ground, put them in a decent "click and lock" plastic container with a silicon gasket, in the fridge & they'll be as fresh as when you opened the packet for ages. Good work guys & the Sorted Team! 🙂❤
I love when you guys do gadget reviews, of all of those today I think the bag re-sealer would interest me and be useful. I'm going to see if I can find it.
I have a battery-powered bag sealer. It is quite handy.
6:12 Baz absolutely did not say "chip" bags. 😂
The more this episode went on the more I realised I'm just like Jamie and Barry.
Ebbers pead all over the place 🤣🤣🤣
Angry Ben is the best.
Haha 😂
OMG! Hilarious to see Ben's reactions and he clearly wasn't anticipating the impact of the avoBomb!
Barry looked like he was trying hard to not puke from all the rotten fruity smells 😂
And Ben's annoyance with the bacon toaster, oh my gawd! And Barry and Jamie's reactions 😂😂
This whole video is hilarious!
God bless you guys. You all gavee the inspiration for the special lunch for my mom today! You changed my life!❤❤😊😊🎉🎉
That’s amazing to hear. Thank you! Enjoy your special lunch with your mum 😁
@@SortedFood Will do guys! Wish You all the Best!
I think the problem was the cling film. The fruit sold here in the USA, say strawberries are in a plastic container with holes in it .. I think y’all should redo the experiment and leave off the cling film. 💋🧚🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
I think the ethylene thing could work really well but you should know that some fruit is a heavy ethylene producer whereas other fruit is very ethylene sensitive, so that should be taken into consideration when selecting the fruit and I also wouldn't keep it covered with cling film since that is just a recipe for mould growth. I generally keep the ethylene sensitive produce away from the rest which works just fine, except with berries which just don't survive long unfortunately. would be interesting to see you try this thing out in the fridge as well.
I feel like the sticker test wasn't quite right because I dunno about you but I typically don't cover my fruit bowl in cling film so there's still air circulations which means access to oxygen, gases from the fruit being vented away etc. Maybe the stickers need oxygen to trigger the reaction that captures the ethylene gas or something?
Also ethylene gas doesn't support the growth of mold as far as I'm aware, it just ripens the fruits, so judging the product on which bowl produced more/less mold doesn't really make sense.
Other than that, wonderful video! Keep these gadget reviews coming they're always highly entertaining and informative :D
Love the videos always a great Sunday pick me up! ❤
Thanks for watching 😁
Oh dear, poor Ben... Nothing he even liked, except the bag sealers, and those had American plugs on them, so you were probably running them off a transformer hidden behind the table. 🤨
Welp, nothing for it: you gotta keep trying! More gadget testing videos soon, please! 😃
This is like a back alley version of Antiques Roadshow, 😂 I mean this in the nicest possible way, I'm here guessing the prices and everything! Love it!
I would definitely buy the bag sealer - no question. As a matter of fact, I'm going to.
I love Ben's viewpoints on some of these gadgets, but I will say that I have the Fina grinder and I love it! We don't do spice blends (yet), but love being able to fresh grind black pepper, white pepper, all sorts of different rock salts, and even garlic chips and dehydrated onion. There are also stackable trays that hold 3 of the pods each. I have two trays and it's so much fun and convenient to just pop the pod onto the grinder and season as I go.
ben got so angry! i love the return to what the kitchen gadget format used to be about: annoying the chef!
Ben’s frustration level was at an all-time high! 😂
I'll repost this idea in the next pass it on, but just to avoid forgetting it: Invite James and Poppy and have a pass it on only chefs with Ben, Ksuh and Slater, with some crazy curve ball as the category and order them by something chefy like how fast can they dice an onion or most expensive dish cooked. And the normals just sit and watch the caos unfold.
I use my vacuum sealer on seal-only mode all the time on chip bags and other plastic bags. It's a great trick if you already have a vacuum sealer, but I'm not sure how good a stand-alone unit like that is.
The ethylene absorber is interesting, because they work commercially. It's also the reason behind techniques like putting something in a paper bag to ripen it faster - that concentrates the ethylene. I suspect they don't work on all fruit, or it was just left out too long and bacteria started to break it down.
@17:54 - "the bay leaves are doing absolutely nothing" - Chef Ben Ebbrell, 2023. Just a reference for you guys, lol.
I love bay leaves, and they do add something. Seems a shame that people with spice badges can't actually recognize that XD
@2:00 - No. Not absolutely fine for banana bread. If they were a bunch of potatos or other hard roots, or hard cheese, it wouldn't be a problem - you could just cut away the mold (assuming you have 2 inches beyond the last visible bit of mold). With fruits, breads, meats and other soft, moist foods, if you see **ANY** mold at all, the entire piece of food is not safe for human consumption and neither is any other fruits, meats, etc. sealed in the same container with it.
@8:30 - Huh. Lavazza Rossa coffee. So incredibly bland... (got half a bag of it in a ziplock in the cupboard right now that I haven't touched for like 2 weeks)
Bold of Ben to assume that I couldn't absolutely destroy that bag of M&M's.
I think the boys should do a taste test of Bay leaf or no bay leaf? To see if Ben can tell the difference!!
ben- ' you remove a chocolate ' *agressilvly shakes away a chocolate*😂😂 🍫
and then seal it to keep the "individually wrapped" chocolate "fresh" :)
Sorted! Question: Do you lot rinse off your dishes after putting them in soapy water. or no? I've seen Ebbers wash up and he doesn't seem to rinse the soapy residue off of the dish or plate before putting it on the draining board. I've heard that this is a common thing among English people. I've also heard rumors that the habit of NOT rinsing off the dishwater (and any soap bubbles) stems from an old advert for Fairy Liquid that inferred that it wasn't necessary to rinse. Or that it has to do with your taps being either Hot or Cold with no means of getting a mix of the two for warm water from one tap. Hearing Ebbers talk about washing up the bacon pan reminded me to ask this. I'd love to hear what your take on this is.
As an American, it makes me actually queasy thinking about eating off of plates that haven't been rinsed after they've been in dirty, soapy dishwater.🤢
I really really love this new setup. So much better than the brick wall. I appreciate you guys always looking for something new.
professional food packaging worker specializing in plastic sealing here - that heat sealer is fine but for BEST results you're going to want to stick to resealing bags like the Lavazza coffee bag which has a layer of LDPE along the inner layer of the bag - that's a very melty material that works very well for re-sealing. the chocolate bags however, while it'll work it will absolutely mangle your packaging - there's no inner layer along most chocolate bags, you're just trying to melt metallized polyester to metallized polyester - which is fine but isn't as aesthetically appealing, and may not actually generate the kind of air-tight seal that you tend to get with LDPE-lined bags due to the lack of control you have over temperature and dwell time. if you've ever noticed on most chocolate or granola bars, they're not sealed with heat - they're sealed with glue (cold seal), which is another place that i would imagine the re-sealer would fall short.
So basically, a clip might be the best bet for sealing stuff "air-tight" that aren't coffee bags, like bags of chips, rice, etc.?
@@jellycatfish honestly with how many different melt profiles there are between structures of bags (single, double, and triple layers all seal different) I'd recommend a clip in 90% of cases. If you seal wrong your seal will have holes, usually along the top and bottom edge, which will transfer more air than a clip
Awesome video once again, Hoping we get a cook off or something like that where the cooks are forced to use multiple gadgets like this ^^
Ben you’ve got to steep the bay leaves like tea for the normies
I love Ben doing these (with any of the boys off to the side). Such a great video. Interesting gadget choices too.
Fruit bowl methodology critique: The ethylene saver disks would stop the ripening of fruits that release the gas but the furriness could be from mold which is a fungus? Wouldn't it be better to wash the fruit first to remove any spores? With that in mind, were the fruits washed before putting into the bowl?
Bacon express critique: Did Ebbers just advocate for pouring bacon fat down the sink instead of saving for cooking other things or throwing away in the bin? Scandalous!
I love Ben's reviews of these products - I give him a 5 star review!
Bag sealer was the only thing that I could see myself using (if it was bought as a present), maybe. Those plastic clips you can buy work fine though, and require no electricity.
That bacon, trouser press monstrosity is everything that is wrong with capitalism and conspicuous consumption.
More useless clutter as a solution to a problem you never had. Why on earth would anyone buy it?
Ben was on one in this episode😂 love it
For the first time I can genuinly say i wouldn't buy any of these...
I don't buy enough fruit to warrant a fruit saving disc, assuming it even worked... I buy fruit, and eat it that week before it even has a chance to go off. I only buy what I need and nothing more. The resealer is meh for me because again I don't have that many food items in my house i realistically need to reseal, and any that I do are larger bags that I already have a bag sealer for. The bacon toaster thing? What a waste of time, effort and money. Use a pan you lazy sods! It's quicker, easier, produces a better result and far easier to clean. I have a kitchen that's less than 4m squared.It's tiny, I don't have the space for such a silly and near useless item. The spice grinder is again, one of those gadgets that just doesn't do what it says it does on the tin. I've also already got tons of spices. I very very very rarely by whole spices of anything. bay leaves, even though they do nothing!, whole peppercorns for the pepper mill, and salt... beyond that, everything is either fresh or dried and already powdered, i can just mix the powdered spices easily!
For once I can actually say I have no interest in any of these!!
I just can’t get over the fact that someone thought of the bacon express and that it wasn’t Jamie! 😂
The fruit: you sealed them in cling film, which linked in the moisture, making the perfect environment for mold. The ethylene didn't even have time to do anything, the mold beat it to it.
I think Ben needed a hug after this episode
After he washed the Avocado off his hands
I want a video where normals are given a recipe to cook about which they dont kniw any thing
Twist being that they will spin the wheel which will remove 1/3 part of the recipe
For example barry chooses middle from the spin wheel
So middle part of recipe (6 steps if recipe is of 18 steps) gets removed( in this case step 7-12 steps
Ben should use the leftover fruit to make a blueberry banana bread with a avocado frosting 😋
Yes banana for banana bread
No Bennuendos this time just Grumpy Ebbers 😂. I wouldn't buy any of them. It's no need or no room for them. I love Baz and J's reactions better than Ben's. Thanks guys
These are always fun vids 😂
Glad you love them!
Husband and I are chefs. One of the things we do with our interns because we work at different restaurants is to go ask the other person for a lentil peeler or some other nonexistent one hit wonder
Classic. We did this when I worked in theatre. We'd ask them "could you go find us a filter 130?" (which is a transparent colourless filter, useless to have separate, it's only used in lighting eguipment that has a rotating reel of filters that can be remotely switched. In a static light fixture, you'd just have it without a filter.) So if they returned having not found it, we'd say "ah, no matter, we'll just go open white then.".
Doing this is pretty common in every field where there are apprentices or interns, although every field has it's own thing they ask for.
🤗🤗💋💐🫶🏻🌸How is Ben single? How is that even a thing? I believe we need a series built around finding a cuddle buddy for Ben. He is handsome, he is brilliantly useful (a great chef), and just so worthy of discourse. But most of all, he is a smart teddy bear. I just want to cuddle him. I want to listen to him tell me stuff. I want to argue with that sweet man.🥰HOW IS HE SINGLE?
It’s always a nice day in the SortedFood Neighbourhood when there’s a gadget review.
P.S. I can’t wait for Ben’s reactions. He needs a break from hosting duties.
Kitchen gadgets is always entertaining! Love the honesty 😂
The I dream of Genie blink was perfection. Ebbers, you murdered that avocado #justiceforavocado
Gonna release the biggest trick to bacon baking: microwave. Paper towel under (and over if you fancy), 3/4/5 minutes for preferred crispiness.
Thats odd. Because I've recently bought a fridge with a built-in ethylene filter and I swear I've never had fruits and veg last this long in my life. Maybe the specific one you bought is no good?
Anyone wondering about the science of ethylene gas, there’s a little bit of science and a little bit of myth. Ethylene kick starts the ripening process (ie it triggers the produce to go from unripe to ripe) however after ripening starts, the presence of ethylene gas does quite little. Without ethylene gas, unripe produce would never ripen, which can be a good thing as producers often pick unripe fruit and veg so that it travels better. It is only just before produce is stocked on shelves that sellers introduce ethylene gas to make sure your food ripens to peak ripeness by the time you take it home.
The light on the grinder is really great for those of us with vision impairments that make finely ground spices difficult to see on food. The number of times I've over-seasoned something because I couldn't see it...
For the heat sealer one, I got a relatively cheap Impulse sealer with the blue base and swing arm. Not much more expensive, seals in ~5 seconds with auto-off (adjustable for plastic thickness) and can do a 30cm sealing length in one go. Only downside is you have to find a spot to leave it in the kitchen, but really quick to use.
Just one small note regarding the "bacon pan cleaning tip": please be very, VERY careful when pouring cold water into boiling hot oil/fat.
Of course, the original Bacon Express took the form of on-train catering, whereas this version doesn't even reach 125 miles per hour
You can buy an inexpensive ceramic-burr coffee grinder for less than the cost of one of those spice grinding pods. They work just as well for spices as any pepper grinder does.
8:58 That's a bold statement, Ebbers. Very bold.
Am I the only one that wheeled it back a few seconds after a 'time skip' at 1:40 to see if anything changes like their clothes, the backgrounds, etc.
Answer: they changed clothes.
That bacon machine is just dumb. You're supposed to fry it in its own rendered fat, that's what gives it its taste. It's impossible for that to happen with that machine.
I hate that I can't find CRISPY M&M's ANYWHERE!!! And yet here you are with a giant bag of them T_T
