I love how in a basic equipment battle everybody got confused about how to operate the kettle
That was one complicated kettle 😂
Clearly it’s to deter anyone boiling something silly like beetroot juice in it.
Not that people on a cooking show would ever do that!
Not sure that kettle qualifies as basic equipment :P
@@SortedFood but you guys ALWAYS have a kettle on for some of your recipes which I think is genius
@@janmay3901 Not just genius, essential for making a cup of tea! 😁
"You'd butter get someone to clean that up" Jamie clearly misses dad joke of the week like the rest of us!
I bet Tyrone misses Ben's as well :(
@@starbuckslover005 yeah, poor thing😟
I wish they’d bring those back.
I’m a flight attendant, and this episode has inspired me. I would love to see more videos where you create a meal using only a microwave, a coffee maker, and ingredients that can be easily packed in a lunchbox since that is all I have access to when working.
How about where they recreate a Flight Attendant set up?
@@LordOfDays that is a fantastic idea!
I work at a hotel, I don't trust these appliances for the intended purpose on a cleanliness factor. Much less this much more.
@@BobVosh, I stay in hotels frequently.
The key is to have food that is in a container and a supply of sturdy paper plates. If the food doesn't touch anything absolute spotlessness isn't a necessity.
@@bcaye Won't help with a coffee maker. But yes, good call.
I was kind of hoping this would be a thing where literally each person is only given one of the appliances. I really wanted to see Jamie try to cook a steak using only a kettle.
I’d love to see a battle like that, or just a terrible pass it on.
yeah, i was thinking that, too. when they posted the pics of the dishes on twitter i was trying to puzzle out which one was made using which appliance
Right, i was ready with ideas of a meal out of a kettle before they even started
If he cut it super thin, blasted it with boiling water for a few seconds and then dressed it with shoyu and maybe some balsamic vinegar, it could work
Same! A kettle-vs-microwave-vs-toaster-vs-sandwichmaker would be even better.
I really like this idea actually, like a sort of "college dorm cookoff" where you don't have a huge spice rack, no fancy equipment, maybe not even a stove or hotplate to work with
Yes, please! In my dorm, I have salt, pepper, pumpkin pie spice, and red pepper flakes. That’s about the amount of spices most college kids have in their dorms. No toasters/hotplates allowed, just microwave, kettle, and coffeepot
I've always wanted to see a professional chef competition where they just get tossed into a dorm room and told to cook a specific thing. I can just imagine the pain of: WHY ARE THERE ONLY KETCHUP PACKETS AND BEER IN THE FRIDGE!! etc lol
@@mollywithak1697 Get some Italian spice mix. It makes everything better.
I love these as someone with chronic illness and pain condition i don't always have it in me to cook pans ect... and a microwave kettle and toaster are fast and easy.
@@rosehill9537same
🤣 Chorlting at Nigella's “micro-wha-vey” 😂
Tell Mike to use a potato peeler on his Butternut Squash! Much easier, safer, wastes less 😀
That's a Y-peeler. Far more standard in a chef's kitchen than a D-peeler. Both can be used for anything, but the Y-peeler is more efficient once you have the technique.
I help out at my local foodbank and this kind of thing is really useful for those who do only have the basic equipment and sometimes not even that. More of these please! Maybe a 'what can you make with foodbank products' video- like your tinned ingredients pass it on. Tins, packets and basic equipment only.
Love this - especially thinking about how do you creatively use things like boxed mac and cheese when you have milk/butter, or Hamburger Helper if you don’t have fresh ground meat.
@@absolutelyjessa Those are American products. The boys are in the UK.
@@Marysart yes I am aware - that’s why I said “like” - as in, similar to. I would imagine food banks there also have similar issues.
@@Marysart Replace with 'a sachet of Batchelor's Cheese&Broccoli pasta' and 'a jar of newly expired Dolmio'.
Finally, a food battle I could actually compete in. 🤣
Haha excellent!
Hot cider, check, warm breakfast check, Sorted on the screen, check. This, is how you do a good birthday morning.
Happy Birthday :)
Happy Birthday 🎂
I would devour Jamie's but kudos to Mike for the clever use of all the appliances!
I felt the spirit of Ann Reardon from How to cook that take over me as soon as I saw Jamie put eggs in mugs 😬
I was legit terrified. DON'T COOK EGGS IN THE MICROWAVE!!
I think the guys should have a further look into this as many people have been badly burnt and I would hate for them not to know how dangerous this can be
That’s why he poked it with toothpick before he put it in. Ben literally explains that a second later.
@@radmoonable But Ann shows that that doesn't affect the likelihood of the eggs exploding. They still explode even when the yolks are broken.
My thoughts exactly. So scary!
*Cooking battle idea*
Would be interesting to give them a challenge, where they dont have a certain timer, BUT... Ben will review how well the time was spent and as such review how well done the food was overall according to time spent.
So if u make something that takes 5 hours it better be TASTY and vica versa
This! I generally feel like relaxing the timing a bit would make the challenges more relevant to home cooking. Noone makes dinner on a timer, but we want our time spent cooking to be worthwile.
That doesn't make sense, because time isn't necessarily an indication of how a meal will taste. You can cook a stew for 5 hours, but if you do a shit job, it's gonna be shit regardless of the time.
That's super exploitable though, just make some instant noodles and then win because it only took 2 minutes so it doesn't have to be at all good compared to the thing that took 5 hours
@@krytenfivetwothreep2485 make it a time range then. Say 30-90 minutes. That gives you a vast number of options, but still demands some level of effort. Allso, you could definitly make something way more interesting than instant noodels in the time it takes to boil water and wait for the noodles to be ready..
Time is an indication of how it will taste if you do a decent job. You cant compare a decent 20 miniute dish and a decent 20 hour dish, and judge based on wether or not the extra effort was worth it.
Ben going ‘MEE-CRO-WAHVAY’ in the first 10 seconds had me in splits. A great ode to Nigella Lawson!
I've been saying that for years.. was pleasantly surprised to hear Benneth say it
@@Annie1962 Benneth? 🤣
Mike wins in my book. Using the crumb trays was just GENIUS
Until you look at the mess in the toaster.
I so want to eat glazed squash salad now. It looked amazing!
@@b_uppy you know for a fact nobody is cleaning that, the burnt squash bits will just add to future toasts
It's still a cooking battle though, and his glaze was heavy in RAW garlic.
You can't win a COOKING battle by trying to make a glaze but some of the elements weren't cooked.
@@Edino_Chattino
Exactly, lol.
oh looks alone, Jamie's dish was the best. I literally couldn't believe that was the real final product because of how good it looked. I almost thought they swapped it for something made in a kitchen
🙄😂
Jamie boiled salmon ? cuz it was not even close to poaching it . Since when mustard goes into hollandaise ? f joke
@@Zenthris Some throw in dijon mustard some don't. Its not a joke, its just a type of hollandaise.
@@Zenthris Imagine being this condescending and still wrong on both accounts 🤡
He'd probably have not been in last place if he'd checked the time on the toaster for his muffins. Ben mentioned that they were just this side of burnt.
Jamie's dish looked amazing but all three of them did really clever things I would have never imagined possible with 3 appliances. My life has possibly changed for the better
I want to eat Jamie's, so Jamie's gets my vote. Jamie makes the kind of food I wanna eat usually, because he makes filling, full meal types of things.
I can't tell if Barry using only one of the 3 pieces of equipment is more or less creative. Like, on one hand, you gave them 3 weird things to cook with and he didn't use 2 of them, so they're underutilized. On the other, like, he only needed the microwave, which is impressive.
i was going to just 100% go with mike for winning both parts of this challenge but when i saw jaime's idea for the bain-marie... incredible
Always very wary of cooking poached eggs in the microwave because lots of people have been severely burned when the eggs explode...I know Jamie pierced them but I'd still be scared just in case they can still explode. Great video though, not trying to criticize!
You're quite right. Ann Reardon showed even with pricking eggs can still explode in the microwave. As can butter, I think due to water content?, which is why it made such a mess, but not as dangerous as eggs tho.
Thats the worry of using the microwave for anything, its super easy to burn chocolate or boil milk etc when using the microwave when its on for longer intervals (in fact I think he did make the butter boil over) pricking the egg yolk and using the microwave at 30 second intervals was probably the best way to go about that. Even when cooking store bought ready meals in the microwave or warming up tinned soup you're supposed to cover it to avoid splatter and take it out partway through to stir it. Theres actually a little ceramic pan/pot thing specifically made to cook eggs in the microwave, think its called stonewave or something like that?
@@FeatherFall101 still then the problem with eggs, as supposed to other things, eggs can explode even after taking out of the microwave. So many people have gotten 3rd degree burns off of that, its literally dangerous to do so even if you "know what youre doing"
@@stiffk666 Came here to say that! Watched Ann's video too, and I never had the thought of pouching an egg in the microwave before, bit even less so after watching her video.
For this reason, I have silicon covers I use when poaching eggs in the microwave. The movement of taking the eggs out of the microwave is what normally causes the explosion. Using the covers would keep everything contained.
I'm really intrigued by the roasting of nuts in the microwave. Must try it out!
You should definitely give it a go. I have gotten the perfect toasted peanuts every time in the quickest time possible!
Mike: (makes a Squash glazed with Miso)
Yuzu: (sits and cries in the corner)
Jamie could have wrapped the raw eggs in cling film and poached the eggs with the residual heat as well. I have done it many times. They come out with perfectly cooked whites and a creamy, runny yolk.
Much safer than doing them in the microwave.
@@adde9506 was fine doing it in the mircorwave because he pricked the yolks first.
@@justinwhite2725 Check out Ann Reardon's video on this. They still explode. The water alone will explode; I've done it.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone cook anything in the crumb tray of a toaster.”
Same… and now we all have. Guess there’s a first time for everything. 😉
Pretty good hack though huh? 🤯
@@SortedFood it definitely is! Would’ve never thought of it. Although… I think I need to clean my crumb tray before using this hack. 👀
@@SortedFood also… I loved this battle. It’s amazing to watch and I can only imagine how helpful it could be to people who don’t have access to a stove.
These types of hacks would’ve saved my from a lot of ready meals in uni. 😉
@@Anna-uh3jq Yeah that's a good idea haha!
@@Anna-uh3jq I'd need to sandblast mine.
''Flakey as fish'' made me proper laugh out loud. Oh Ben, you tickle many fancies!
I'm not sure how well Mike's squash and seeds would do in many other toasters. I feel like there's a non-zero chance of ruining an appliance by trying that.
Of the three, Jamie's is the one I'd want to eat.
I think the smart thing was that he went with a non drippy food to put in the toaster. Otherwise the crumb tray would've turned into a drip tray.
Jaime's seemed the most chef-y. He even had to explain how to make real hollandaise. 😉
That said, I now want to try toasting squash. I really want to know how it came out texturally.
you can put the squash in parchment to avoid that. Is how I made grilled cheese sandwiches in college.
I was cheering for Jamie to win this challenge and i def would love to see ben do the same challenge in making something with the Kitchen appliance.
My prayers and youtube comments have been answered from on high!! As a small apartment liver in Japan with no oven and only a microwave and kettle to my name, that bain-marie hack might be the most incredible hack I've ever seen. No longer will I cringe whenever someone says 'just pop it in the oven', knowing the recipe is fundamentally over for me--I now have OPTIONS!
“Pears out, nuts in”.
Don’t think we didn’t notice Ben….
Its very interesting to see people using basic appliances to cook food in unexpected ways that DOES NOT then destroy or contaminate it for future usage. Nicely done boys!
for a second i was worried jamie intended to cook his salmon in the actual kettle
Once again, the boys have come through with a proper 3 course meal! Toasted squash salad appetizer, eggs royale main, and fruity "merengue" dessert? Amazing brunch menu!
The idea of toasting seeds in the crumb tray of a toaster is mind blowing. I will have to try that sometime. Al 3 recipes were good ideas. I don't like seafood so I wont try the salmon, but the poached egg + hollandaise still looks good. I'd love more of these videos of making delicious meals with minimal/college appliances
16:26 Barry looks so proud as he's being showered with praise from Ben
I think Jamie gets this one purely for his creative use of residual heat. It feels to me like he was the most on-brand with the prompt while also making something that you would never expect to see out of a "basic appliance battle."
I've actually had to do this! Just the before the pandemic I inherited a house that needed major renovations, the plan was to do that, move in and sell my old house. The clearance work on the house started mid-march 2020 but the lockdowns blew my plans (and finances) out of the water and had to sell the existing house to finance the works at the other - I went 9 months without a working kitchen, living on what was effectively a building site. It was pretty grim, getting up and walking down to where the kitchen would be and just heating up things in the microwave and slopping them on toast etc. My saviour was around 3 months in when I just got sick to death of it and bought an electric grill oven (Ninja) - suddenly I was able to actually cook meats and vegetables again!
My friend's husband did their kitchen renovation himself which took over a year. It as never quite completed because he was distracted by other renovations he kept starting and left incomplete too.
She fed four children with little money but a lot of creativity. A hot plate, a borrowed electric base for 3 qt Corningware, and a 4 qt electric multi-pot. Maybe her husband would have worked faster if she fed him only sandwiches.
Is it possible that we can have a little warning text on screen when you're microwaving just eggs, or eggs in water? Eggs can explode both when you're microwaving them, and after when you take them out. There's been a number of terrible accidents throughout the years regarding people microwaving eggs and getting severe burn wounds. So just something like "Please be careful when microwaving eggs - They can explode and cause injury if you're not careful!" would be very nice to see. Alright, cheers!
"I didn't realise these were from your allotment, this brings a whole meaning to the dish" lmao barry
I've never identified more with Barry than when he said he does everything he can to avoid peeling, I'm exactly the same, hate peeling stuff.
I'm sure at least one of the Normals (namely Mike) was distraught over "Waffle-Iron" not being an option.
Probably!
🤣🤣🤣
So creative!! I enjoyed watching Jaime eggs Benedict come together with his cooking knowledge of the hollandaise sauce.
Spent the whole thing wondering why Jamie was banging on about marinating in the marinade. Cue blooper. 🤣
I don't know why, but on every battle between normals, I always prefer the dishes brought out by Jamie. he puts out really good looking and full meal whilst other puts out marginally different dish such as veganish or dessert. Maybe I just prefer a filling dish instead of a sort of appetizer.
Yeah, Jamie's dishes are usually my favourite too.
I have no problem with veganish, but I agree. Doesn't feel like a main. But, I'm also down for an impressive side etc so 🤷🏻♀️
As a person, Jamie feels the most "normal" to me. So as a result, his dishes seem to be the things a "normal" would think of at eat. Where as Barry feels more manic-posh and Mike feels classy
@@DrigrX "manic-posh"
💯💯💯, great phrasing
Jamie's dish was the best hands-down. He did absolutely brilliant work, and also made something that I'd actually be excited to eat.
I binged so much sorted, that I had to take a break for a few months... Not out of boredom, but because I had run through all the content. I'm glad to see you guys again, thank you for being consistent and always entertaining. Ive missed you. Because you all exist, mythical kitchen is only my SECOND fave TH-cam cooking show ❤
When strawberries, pineapple etc are in season I buy in bulk chop them finely add sugar, vanilla a hint of freshly ground black pepper and put in heavy bottomed saucepan. I let it heat up and become a sticky puree. Then put it in ziplock bags and freeze them. I have strawberry/pineapple sauce to top my dessert throughout the year.
Barry’s dish was my winner! Loved the cream and jam hack. All three were really good, though. I thought Mike deserved special props for doing everything without bowls too!
How about an ultimate battle where the only ingredients they can use must come from the allotment.
This was so fun. Would love to see more of this. Maybe up the difficulty like having 1 appliance or limiting foods they can use, or even saying what kind of dish they have to make.
Jamie, your dish was amazing to watch come together! It looked absolutely delicious. And your plating skills were top notch! GREAT JOB!!!!! Definitely a #1 dish for me.
Ben saying microwave the Nigella way. 😂😂😂
I would like to see an episode with air fryer. I'm moving to a small apartment and while I would love an oven, I do think the most suitable would be an air fryer, budget and space-wise. Would like some ideas from you guys.
Or a toaster oven…do they have those in the UK?
If you have place/plan on having a microwave, there are probably microwave-oven combinations. I have one of them and its great. Clearly, not the biggest oven, but still big enough and just taking the place of one machine.
Air fryers are brilliant. I had a 23lt I cooked a roast in it using the rotisserie attachment, made scones, it made the best grilled cheese toast but it had a manufacturing issue so I sent it back for a refund. I miss its size. I am now down to a 4.1lt Air fryer. I can only do 1 grilled cheese at a time. A toaster oven might be just as good for you. Good luck with which ever you choose
I have a ninja foodi air fryer/other kinds of air cookers/toaster oven/toaster. I love it.
Aluminum foil at the bottom of one makes easy clean up if youre feeling lazy. Does effect charing and needs more flipping but I dont even bother some days lol
I absolutely loved this episode. The poached salmon and the crumb tray nuts were awesome but Barry's eton mess was a standout. brilliant work.
Baz looks especially adorable in this ep. as he’s shaking his jam jar with his floppy hair 🥺💕
Guys, please please please remember that there is never a guarantee that an egg will NOT explode in a microwave, even if you de-shell it and prick the yolk. The exact mechanism isn't known, so we don't actually know why sometimes yolks explode and sometimes don't. Please be SUPER CAREFUL because you can get serious burns. It might not be worth it to insist on cooking eggs in a microwave if you have literally any other option.
Exactly. Cooking eggs in the microwave is super dangerous and there are more and more cases of people getting serious burns from doing it.
Same for milk, especially in small containers (like those small expresso coffee cups). Happened to me once, after taking the cup out of the microwave, it exploded all the way up to the ceiling.
Jamie did cover them in cling film though so it should be OK even if it does explode. Most liquids *can* explode in the microwave, so it's best to be safe and keep them covered but if you do it should be OK.
been on TH-cam for the past 10 minutes just so I won't miss this battle!!
Please do more of these! This is so helpful as I basically live in a hotel when I'm working and I want to stop eating out all the time.
Ben's wholly unimpressed face while Barry describes making whipped cream in the "remanents" of jam 😂
I’m intrigued with what Ben does with the Tea Towel on holiday 😂
Better not to ask!
"A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have." A tea towel should probably be the same for a chef. :D
When I first saw this on IG I thought each normal would only get one appliance (like Barry would have the microwave, Mike would have the toaster). That would be a fun challenge if you're looking to up the ante!
Oh… fantastic, except no one will ever use that kettle again if Jamie’s poached fish in it! Lmao!
This is the second dessert dish I have seen Barry make that looks and sounds incredible-good for you. The squash dish was so uniquely done, and the final product was delicious looking.
All three dishes look amazing! Yes, even Mike's, despite him saying it doesn't look great. I'd definitely eat any of these dishes.
I love SORTED so much. You never fail to cheer me up :)
The look on Ebber's face as Barry is telling him how to do his OWN hack is hilarious.
8:18 I never knew this part about the microwave because I usually heat up my food in the center thinking it’ll be evenly heated up, but never thought about how more hot it can become from the edges. Thank you Sorted Food for teaching me something new! 🤩🤩
Uh... Guys? There's several news articles about people messing up on poaching eggs in the microwave and suffering extended-hospital-stay, mutilated-face burns. Even if you pierce the yolk, it can explode. How to Cook That did one of her hack safety videos on it and exploded a few dozen eggs to demonstrate. Her cup of boiling water with pierced egg exploded after 55 seconds.
I cooked many a microwave egg in my uni days (and scraped most of them onto my plate from the microwave's innards) but I had also been raised by someone who passed on the 80s microwave safety lesson 'leave all microwaved foods in there for at least one minute after it beeps'. My little 700 W microwave-that-could managed eggs in about 45 seconds. About, because it was cheap and didn't have the safety feature of a digital display to tell me how long it had been in.
And there is no 'standard' microwave wattage. Most range from 600-1200W and heat more efficiently depending on how they're built. I can cook a microwave cake in my 900 W oven in the same time as my mom can in her 1200 W one, both using full power. Neither have a rotating glass tray. Both cook that cake recipe way more evenly than the 650 W rotating microwave I had between my uni microwave and my current one.
Good for Barry! Woohoo!!!
But I have to say, having stayed in many holiday flats, Mike's use of the toaster was incredibly practical.
The production level is just outstanding. Great video guys!
More equipment battles please! This was great
"If you want to see us do more appliance based battles..."
What if we want to see you do appliance based Pass It On?
I would have to agree with Ebbers. But well done all of you. I'm still giggling at the guys faces when Ebbers told Bazza his nuts are great.
I use my rice cooker to not just cook rice but make risotto, soups and beef and bean chilli.
When paired with an electric kettle, I use mine to make fancy "instant" soups (lately rice noodles; add peas, greens, and dumplings) and pasta (lately cooking cauliflower with the noodles themselves, drain, return to pot with all the tasty things i want to finish it with). It occasionally boils over, but putting a plate under catches the majority of the messes.
@@LaurenPedersentrian Have you made cauliflower or broccoli soup? I cheat I buy them both frozen. Cook them in either veggie or chicken stock when soft blend it up, add salt and pepper to taste, add 1/2 cup of pouring cream stir through add a little nutmeg on top when you serve.
"He can't have two of those!" Says Barry with 2 seafood badges.
Ah yes the microplane, a staple of every hotel room and air Bnb kitchen.
Always a good day when the Sorted guys upload 😊😊😊
Barry that was fab and you were so calm. A deserved win IMHO!
Sorry but not really, this "recipe" was already done by the food team and is in one of their books so nothing original about it, that's why he was so calm. Jamie & Mike did do something original
Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the Sorted Community! We’re here for the chaos!
100% Make another 👌 This was amazing, and loved all the small tips and hacks 😊 They all did amazing 👌
Always a fan of a great microwave meal. The less clean up the better. Looking forward to to trying these!
DON’T POACH AN EGG IN THE MICROWAVE EVEN IF YOU POKE THE YOLK. It doesn’t always work. You can can get severely injured. For more info go watch Ann Reardon’s video where she poached eggs, poked eggs, and just whites in the microwave.
All three lads used a lot of intuition and smarts with these . I love it! Mike's dish I was thinking the whole time "like how?" and he did that!
Mike's dish was amazing. Some really cool ideas.
I loved that, thank you guys, you never fail to make me smile when I need it most ❤️
I'd like to see one of these challenges where the normals have to create their own recipe not just follow instructions given to them by the chef team. It makes no sense to me that Barry is congratulated for his genius ideas when clearly Ebbers knew more idea than Barry about what he was making
I think Jamie and Mike's dishes where more creative and used the tools they where given instead of just focusing on one I would say I like Jamie's better but I love fish but Mike was very creative
How was Barry's not creative?
@@Steven-jo8ug they even mentioned that the main part of his (meringues) were from cba2 so he didn't think of that himself
You fellas have gotten SO impressive. I love every episode
Nice job as always..., I would of been happy with any of those dishes.., all looked fantastic.
I've made homemade bread with a bowl and a toaster oven, turned out great with a bit of foil.
Battles are the best!!!
Very impressive lads! Loved this
I am recently finding myself missing the warmth of the years past when it comes to the set. Now days it's very busy and kind of game show like. I miss the goofy creativity that cane from each. But I am greatful for this video this is so useful I wish I'd seen this when I was quarantined 6 hours from home in a hotel haha I literally could have eaten like a boss with these! Happy new year all!
I've literally been contemplating buying a toaster all week, I guess watching Mike toast squash and seeds was all the convincing I needed 'cause I just ordered one 😅 Best ad for a toaster ever 😂 In 3-5 workdays I will be toasting some squash! 😊
Get a toaster oven instead of a pop out one. Even a small one is incredibly versatile. Finished undercooked chicken in one, or reheat pizza really well, or even cook glazed tuna fillet.
@@lancelindlelee7256 Sounds like it's a bit late for that tip haha
@@kohlinoor Everything is returnable....LOL! 😁
Poor Jamie. His meal gets my vote! I wouldn’t feel comfortable toasting squash in my toaster and my crumb tray wouldn’t work the way that one did. Not a huge fan of Eaton Mess so JAMIE FOR THE WIN 🏆
i wouldnt try to poach an egg in the microwave, hell no im not gonna play with my life.
Agreed, it's pretty obvious that they all did well.
Those all looked amazing! Well done Boys and team!
The only one I would want to try was Jamie's. So he totally won in my book.
I'd try Jamie's and Barry's. The boys love seeds and I can't stand them. Sorry Mike
Not even part way through and watching Jaimie try to use the kettle is a very Jaimie thing to do.
Mike and Jamie both had issues with that kettle, must be a new one for them.
I like this one. I mentioned in a comment a while back that I travel for work, and often have only a microwave in the hotel room, and have had to live off of one for 6 weeks before. I'd love to see them use a standard drip coffee maker in place of the kettle and other simple tools to make quality meals.
I love the jam jar whipped cream hack. I'm definitely trying it next time I run low.
I love the savory recipes, wasn't impressed with the sweet one (he did VERY little), but I thought Mike's salad needed a lot more elements to be fully considered a meal.
I agree with Ben's ranking. Barry went to the basic of basics with the use of just one appliance and made a very clever use of it. And Mike showed a new use for the crumb tray. Good job guys!!
But Barry's dish/recipe was one the cook team had already done so it wasn't "original" it was just repeating an existing process as for Mike & Jamie DID do something original and out of their comfort zone, it was a real challenge, that's why Barry was pretty relaxed.
@@marilynalvarez9951 The brief was to prepare a recipe using the basic appliances in a set time and he did it, and also, he adapted and made the recipe and did it well. Jamie made salmon, poached egg and a hollandaise on toast, that's not "original"
I would love to see them make a full meal with only one appliance! Have each of them draw out of a hat and just watch the magic!
Mike geting his intermediate basic badge is the best part of this video. It was literally genius using the crumb tray.
