@@SimonWoodburyForget I've used a similar recipe for dough and it can turn out quite nice. It does take a fair amount of cooking. Actually I used it for the first time when I cooked pizza in a slow cooker. That came out really nice.
It was kinda like my grandma’s lip twitch when one of us grandkids was doing something so wrong, but she decided it would be hilarious to just watch us struggle and learn on our own.
Not only did Jamie create his dish in the time required, he cleaned as he cooked. The kitchen didn't look like a disaster when he was done. Truly the best demonstration of time management.
Jamie is, in my opinion, the best chef of the normals at this point, he's stepped away from the typical Jamie dishes more and more and addressed a lot of his shortcomings
Yes! Great idea. It would be great to see how we came to eat what we eat nowadays. It’s always funny to me when people find out that potatoes weren’t eaten in the Netherlands until someone brought them here a few hundred years ago. Most people will consider potatoes to be typical Dutch, which they are now but haven’t always been. The same could be said for tulips by the way. 🌷
I really cannot express how appreciative I am for the accurate captions on these videos. I’m slowly losing my hearing, but I love these videos and watch every single one, and the fact that I can still engage with the nuanced jokes and understand what’s happening is really powerful. The attention to detail (and accessibility) is what I adore about this channel.
You guys might know this already but I feel like sharing it as I myself had a hard time seeing the text sometimes so if you press the + and - on your keyboard the captions size increase and decrease accordingly :) Also pressing W makes the black background more opaque!
The captioning is done by an automated youtube program, not the channel itself - and youtube's captioning software is highly dependent on the quality of mic and annunciation of the people speaking. Creators can however, review the generated captions to correct any errors - if they're aware of them.
Ben’s “bangers” fact was actually incredibly interesting. But I was disappointed to not see a Super Geek cutaway. Especially after the return of Barry and Ben best of friends last video!
Mike is that kid that tried to make a nuclear reactor at the school fair and failed while Jamie is the one that made the baking soda volcano and won. Barry put up the tables and chairs. God bless him.
My favourite moment of a Huttlestorm is always when Mike yells at an inanimate object from a very close range, a rare sighting but what a treat when it happens 😂😂😂
@@boydy1598 That's a fun idea. If they don't want to be on camera, that's cool. Just a mysterious group of chefs who send dishes to dunk on the normals lol.
I work in a bakery (in a grocery store, nothing fancy) and Mike's sound effects while scoring the rolls is me every single day scoring the french loaves 10/10
I’d like to see a one-on-one training session with each cook and Ben “planning like a chef”: rewatch and dissect their individual video to spot and address inefficiencies. Then a rematch with the same recipes.
The Try Guys are kinda doing this, where they are retrying past “Without A Recipe” videos and seeing where they can improve. Then they redo it for personal pride. This would be an awesome idea because, like any career, professional development is a huge part of staying on top of your game. This could be a four-part series too, where Ben and/or James can work with them and we get to see a full skills and recipe development plan, behind the scenes style. Then it all culminates in either a three way battle, or a beat-the-chef blind taste test against the chef that didn’t train them on that specific dish. Possible Badges: - Self-Improvement - Recipe Revision - Any Missed Badges from other challenges
@@beconscious578 I was rewatching this (as I do) and saw my comment again so sorry this is late. But have you watched Barry his cloud eggs for the curry pizzas? Because I don’t think anyone would prefer it 😂
The Huttlestorm forecast graphic was hilarious! Also, say what you want, but Mike delivered a SUBSTANTIAL plate of food on a budget. I'm a "slow cooker" myself and actually applaud Mike for not cutting corners and committing to getting the meal done right rather than getting it done quick.
Jamie showing he really deserved that time management badge, he was (mostly) cool and collected and used all his time perfectly without rushing too much or panicking.
His food is always they least ambitious, though. So it's less entertaining/less satisfying to see it inevitably get finished in time. Like if you're just putting everything altogether in a hot pan, of course it's going to get cooked in time.
@@johnjungkook2721 I'm not sure I would agree. He has had some very ambitious dishes in the past. But also, I think this may be that he is better at balancing realistic expectations with time constraints.
An idea for a badge: Everyone gets given the same bunch of common ingredients, typically to be found in a fridge or a cupboard, then they are allowed to purchase/bring a single main ingredient to then develop and cook a midweek dish. Badge: Limited Recipe Making
Another Badge Name: Pantry Raid To help with this, there should be some kind of Behind The Scenes video or something which is an Updated Pantry/Fridge list. For example, one show I watch, Guy’s Grocery Games, listed their pantry for competitors as: AP flour, white sugar, water, salt, pepper, oil, garlic powder, red chili flake. So anything else they wanted had to be sourced from the market it is set in, meaning it was subject to the rules of the set challenge. (Examples: budget restrictions, only starting with one letter, mandatory ingredients, etc)
When Barry messed up his pizza base, you can literally see Ben's smile quiver as he tries not to make any expression ranging from utter laughter to disappointment.
For once, I completely agree with the judging. Jamie deserved the badge whilst Mike's would have been amazing had he met the time requirement. However, I think Mike deserves a special badge for coming up with his new "Bit off more than he could chew" side channel on the fly - with the perfect punny name. Perfectly on brand and relatable!
Challenge idea - let the normals pick whatever they want to cook in whatever time they think they need with whatever budget they want. Then rate them against a time/taste/cost matrix against each other.
Great idea. I’m never a big fan of the time constraint. If one guy says my recipe will take 40 minutes then give him 40 and then IF he goes over that then penalize.
@@kenthanson Yeah. At home I've never once said, well that took five minutes too long, I guess I won't get to eat today. I can see why it's a thing for professional chefs working in a professional kitchen, but presumably the normals should be a proxy for us.
In this challenge series, I think it makes sense to hold the normals’ feet to the fire because these badges are to show how close to a professional chef they have become. Now in any video without a badge up for grabs, then the idea of allowing them a looser framework makes sense.
@@Khazandar He won because his dish wasn't challenging at all. Throw a bunch of everyday ingredients in a pot in the oven. Sorted. Make some soda bread, which is like idiot-proof. At least Mike set his sights high. In real life there is no 30 minute time limit, so his dish would have gone down better.
@@AlanHope2013 Yeah, it's always more impressive when the ingredients are transformed somewhat, I don't think any 'one-pot' dish is really that impressive.
@@AlanHope2013 barry's dough was practically identical and still had issues. I think Jamie deserves credit for scoping to time, executing well, and ending with a clean kitchen. The other 2 had issues with scope and/or execution. Let's also note Jamie is the only one with the time management badge.
I'm amazed how invested in the recipes I get, and am genuinely disappointed when they don't work out. Mike's sausage roll sounded amazing, but Jamie definitely deserved the badge. Still felt bad for Mike though :(
I would definitely wait 9 minutes for Mike's sausage roll. I would also love to chomp into Jamie's sausage and taste his soda bread. These are not innuendos, I'm a fat old lady who loves food.
I am LOVING this badge series! I've actually been working on trying to incorporate some of the chef skills into my everyday cooking now that I see how important they really are, especially things like efficiency of tools and figuring out the best order in which to do things to make sure everything is ready at the right time. Thank you for inspiring me to be a better cook!
I fully empathize with Mike going over time. I always do that either because my oven/stovetop is absolute crap, or I severely overestimate my prep abilities.
Jamie shined in this one. Not only did he cook everything under budget, he executed everything perfectly, and his kitchen was clean by the end! Jamie, you're becoming quite the cook, and not just of meats!
I’m actually amazed that Jamie developed a low budget recipe that allowed him to keep organised and finish with a clean kitchen! I never expect it from Mike because when the Huttlestorm blows over there is chaos, he loves filling his hob space with as many pans as possible and Barry only focuses on one thing at a time 😂😂 Jamie never has a clean kitchen in general which makes it even more impressive I think 😂
@@juruhime he went home then UK lockdown hit so he was stuck in Scotland working from home. He is back but they have filmed quite far ahead so. That's my understanding at least!
@@janani1826 Also they don't upload things in chronological order. A few months ago they released a video that was recorded pre-pandemic. So, I think some videos stay in the backlog longer than others
From what I've seen there are 2 forms of buttermilk now a days. The classic buttermilk is the liquid you have left over after turning out the butter and is closer to skim milk. What Jamie used was "cultured buttermilk" which is fermented and ends up more like runny yogurt as we saw in the video.
I don't know how easy it is to get US style buttermilk in the UK. But I've used both sour cream thinned with milk and the lemon juice in milk trick. I think they did the lemon juice method and left it so long that they made a yogurt of sorts.
Mike should also get the badge! He did an amazing job under the budget! In a professional kitchen time is everything, but at home, even as a mid week meal, an extra nine minutes isn't really that much.
He was in his element. I totally believe even if you have little skill in the kitchen as long as you make something simple or something you've made before it's a gigantic confidence boost
@@Annie1962 It may be easy, but it's effective. The brief was not to make something elaborate and complicated, it was to make something that tastes good in the given time according to a given budget. I think he nailed it, personally.
@@Annie1962 Yes that is true, but he also didn't take a bigger bite than he could chew. Mike went 9 minutes over, and i don't even think his recipe was that much more advanced tbh. Buut at the end of the day, it's sortedfood, it's all about the fun and putting a smile on our faces, so cheers :D
Sometimes to get the most out of lower cost ingredients, you trade off by taking much longer to cook them.. would be interesting to see the same challenge without a time limit to see what they can come up with!
these 30 min battles really show off jamie has a ton more experience actually cooking a weeknight meal for a family of more than 2 lol. loveeee watching the other two struggle
This is actually so true and I never thought of it that way! Reading this insight and then looking at how he performs in comparison to the other guys let’s me see so clearly that Jamie is much more comfortable at cooking dishes for a bigger audience because of his living situation, and it helps him so much in these challenges
As the camera was doing a close-up of all three finished dishes, they all looked so delicious, my mouth was salivating. All three were fantastic, yes Barry, even yours.
I personally don't feel like such a limited amount time is valid in a battle that revolves around budget. It's more limiting on time rather than what amazing dishes you can actually cook with a limited budget.
@@lauramarschmallow2922 Ye, most mid week food I cook takes an hour or 45 minutes ish. Only things that take less are simple little noodle dishes. I don't think an hour is unreasonable.
I love these videos. You support small businesses or start-ups in some videos, you show how to make meals on a small budget, you show how to to level up dishes like a chef, you do so much and have fun with it and make a very entertaining video. I love sorted so much, they've been a part of my life for such a long time and they do great things for the community.
I would love to see a mini series with Mike biting off more than he can chew! Would be a great way for him to develop his chefy skills and maybe Jamie and Barry can have their own mini series where they can focus on one chef skill.
How about a challenge mode for everyone? If someone is confident in one of his skills and thinks he can beat one of the others in that specific skill for badges. Everyone can challenge everyone so chef vs chef normal vs normal and normal vs chef. This will keep everyone in a place where they have to keep on top of their skills and improve them (including the chefs)
These battles are my favourite videos, thank you so much, please keep them coming! I'd love to see more fusion cuisine battles, because that both celebrates cuisines of different cultures and your own creativity!
Fun idea for a badge battle, the start of the battle is a chance for the boys to make up for some of the ones they missed. Then the real battle for 'Cleaning Up Your Mess' showing how efficient they are at hand washing their dishes. Knowing the limit's of the set, maybe find a local pub for doing their cleaning up.
"Omg its suppose to be a pizza." " I am a bit nervous" "Bit of a mess" "You rubbed that bit four time" " Eggs!!!!" Scouring sound affects. Literally in tears with these badges!!! Absolute knock out 🥊 idea. Mike deserves a badge for all that he did.
Even though Mike doesn't do to well under a timer, Mike is a great cook! I could see him doing better on these timed challenges if he didn't have to gab to the camera.
I’m hoping some of the future badges could be about different types of cuisines (American, Chinese, African, etc.) or different ingredient badges (beef, veg, etc.) for who can “master” the ingredient/cuisine?
It might be worth doing that after the pandemic, that way there can be guests brought on who are really knowledgeable in that area. Otherwise there will be a danger of a person "mastering" a cuisine while utterly missing the point of it.
Bare Necessities Challenge: Your available technology is the Fridge/Freezer, The Stovetop, and the Microwave. That's it. No blenders, no deep fryers, not even the oven. You can use non-machinery tools (knives, skewers, frying pans, ect) but absolutely NO other machines than the allowed. Honestly as someone who lives in Japan where ovens are not usually included in apartments, I really just want to see how to make good food without ovens and blenders
BADGE IDEA: Aiding and Abetting Badge - have them improve each others recipe for 5 minutes then switch back to their own recipes, anyone that sabotage gets 5 minutes taken away :)
Sorry guys, I know you upload on Sunday but I deliberately watch your video on Monday to make my Monday a little bit easier, and it never fails to. Thanks a lot for fun and amazing videos guys
hey, thanks so much for pumping out videos! over the past 4-5 years your guys have made amazing consistent videos, and in the past couple months that I have been following your channel I never have a shortage of videos I haven't seen! I'm here for it! I'm going to get the app this year for my birthday and become part of the food club! Keep up the good work!!
Ben’s disapproving expression watching Barry struggling with the pizza base was like a Jedi master regretting his choice of student.
That very slight twitch 😂😂
Seriously...what did he say about the high ground. XD
@@SimonWoodburyForget I've used a similar recipe for dough and it can turn out quite nice. It does take a fair amount of cooking. Actually I used it for the first time when I cooked pizza in a slow cooker. That came out really nice.

YES!
yes but it wasn't a time management test it was a budget test... Barry should have had it.
@@oxfordkomma Why? It was far from impressive.
I think a ‘History of Food’ series could be amazing. Celebrate one ingredient by cooking from recipes from different eras - plus some Ben food facts.
This would be great - thanks for the idea! :)
How about a book or daily App of “Ben Facts”
@@peterterry7918 see now u got me wanting Ben facts app lol 😆 esp if it has drunk Ben on berries section
That's already kinda covered by Tasting History though - which is another fascinating channel conceptualized out of last year's quarantine.

Okay that “banger” story was quite cool, I’d never heard it before.
Banger of a story
It is why one pricks sausages before cooking them.

Mike should also get the badge! He did an amazing job under the budget! In a professional kitchen time is everything, but at home, even as a mid week meal, an extra nine minutes isn't really that much.
Watching Jamie, seem to be the least messy and least stressed out, gives me the best energy man. WHATS GOING ON?
he pretty much made a one pot dish and bread made with two ingredients. Too easy.
He was in his element. I totally believe even if you have little skill in the kitchen as long as you make something simple or something you've made before it's a gigantic confidence boost
@@Annie1962 It may be easy, but it's effective. The brief was not to make something elaborate and complicated, it was to make something that tastes good in the given time according to a given budget. I think he nailed it, personally.
@@Annie1962 the brief was make a budget meal. Not a fancy dish. And in reality I would make that dish because of how easy it is.
@@Annie1962 Yes that is true, but he also didn't take a bigger bite than he could chew. Mike went 9 minutes over, and i don't even think his recipe was that much more advanced tbh.
Buut at the end of the day, it's sortedfood, it's all about the fun and putting a smile on our faces, so cheers :D
Can I also say Jamie was super calm and collected AND the kitchen was clean throughout the entire cooking process? Good job, man!
YES, finally another Normals Battle. missed those.
Sometimes to get the most out of lower cost ingredients, you trade off by taking much longer to cook them.. would be interesting to see the same challenge without a time limit to see what they can come up with!
these 30 min battles really show off jamie has a ton more experience actually cooking a weeknight meal for a family of more than 2 lol. loveeee watching the other two struggle
This is actually so true and I never thought of it that way! Reading this insight and then looking at how he performs in comparison to the other guys let’s me see so clearly that Jamie is much more comfortable at cooking dishes for a bigger audience because of his living situation, and it helps him so much in these challenges
As the camera was doing a close-up of all three finished dishes, they all looked so delicious, my mouth was salivating. All three were fantastic, yes Barry, even yours.
This is what Sundays are for, watching some guys stressed & smug & judgy. Love it.
I think Jamie deserved it. He also kept the kitchen clean while cooking
He's definitely the teacher's pet, lol
I personally don't feel like such a limited amount time is valid in a battle that revolves around budget. It's more limiting on time rather than what amazing dishes you can actually cook with a limited budget.
If I make food midweek in the evening 9 minutes aren't THAT big of a deal.
@@lauramarschmallow2922 Ye, most mid week food I cook takes an hour or 45 minutes ish. Only things that take less are simple little noodle dishes. I don't think an hour is unreasonable.
That cheeky little held back laugh on Ben when Barry's Pizzadough did not "push-out" had me laugh out loud haha
I love these videos.
You support small businesses or start-ups in some videos, you show how to make meals on a small budget, you show how to to level up dishes like a chef, you do so much and have fun with it and make a very entertaining video.
I love sorted so much, they've been a part of my life for such a long time and they do great things for the community.
I would love to see a mini series with Mike biting off more than he can chew! Would be a great way for him to develop his chefy skills and maybe Jamie and Barry can have their own mini series where they can focus on one chef skill.
10:35 leaving this here so that I can rewatch this glorious moment over and over again. If this isn't top tear comedy I don't know what is
Awesome new format. Love the interview feel at the beginning and the dish drawings are a really nice touch! :)
mike screaming “OH NO” is how i am feeling in everyday life atm
When Mike /Janice said "oh dear" I smiled. Oh dear, oh dear...
With these kind of budget videos, i think it would be nice to see a quick little breakdown of how much each ingredient cost and where it came from
I like how Jamie is so calm where the others are just panicking. I've made that dough with yoghurt but never flipped it and still cooked.
Some crazy weather this episode. A Huttlestorm and a Taylor tornado!
Huddlestorm. Taylornado. Spafficlone. Curricane. Ebbernami.
Just a thought. 🤭
How about a challenge mode for everyone? If someone is confident in one of his skills and thinks he can beat one of the others in that specific skill for badges. Everyone can challenge everyone so chef vs chef normal vs normal and normal vs chef. This will keep everyone in a place where they have to keep on top of their skills and improve them (including the chefs)
Wow that motivational speech about having faith in your dough... I really needed that, came exactly at the right time.
The dough is my life
If pressed for time a little salt helps brown out onions and garlic really nicely by drawing out water
"a bit smoky here"
"smells like winning" best quote ever
Who'll win??
That aside, it's a very good idea to promote making food with small budget🤗
Barry screaming "EGGS!!!" to the heavens is one of the funniest things I've ever seen
I am glad we specified that it was a budget battle this time and not cooking within a budget. No tiny quail eggs for that pizza!
Oh God, I'd forgotten about the quail egg. That's hilarious.
These battles are my favourite videos, thank you so much, please keep them coming! I'd love to see more fusion cuisine battles, because that both celebrates cuisines of different cultures and your own creativity!
“You’ve rubbed that bit 4 times- I’d do it once if I were you”
Why Ebbers is still stag.
I love the sound effects Mike adds while cutting his roll
Fun idea for a badge battle, the start of the battle is a chance for the boys to make up for some of the ones they missed. Then the real battle for 'Cleaning Up Your Mess' showing how efficient they are at hand washing their dishes. Knowing the limit's of the set, maybe find a local pub for doing their cleaning up.
Maybe mike will win one day and finally get the recognition he deserves 🤔
Just taking a moment to appreciate the Normals’ Piece to Camera like it’s a High-Stakes Reality Show, which it is.
These are the kind of challenges i love! Imagination needed, budget challenges are great for ideas aswell
"Omg its suppose to be a pizza."
" I am a bit nervous"
"Bit of a mess"
"You rubbed that bit four time"
" Eggs!!!!"
Scouring sound affects.
Literally in tears with these badges!!! Absolute knock out 🥊 idea.
Mike deserves a badge for all that he did.
Even though Mike doesn't do to well under a timer, Mike is a great cook! I could see him doing better on these timed challenges if he didn't have to gab to the camera.
I’m hoping some of the future badges could be about different types of cuisines (American, Chinese, African, etc.) or different ingredient badges (beef, veg, etc.) for who can “master” the ingredient/cuisine?
It might be worth doing that after the pandemic, that way there can be guests brought on who are really knowledgeable in that area. Otherwise there will be a danger of a person "mastering" a cuisine while utterly missing the point of it.
Bare Necessities Challenge: Your available technology is the Fridge/Freezer, The Stovetop, and the Microwave. That's it. No blenders, no deep fryers, not even the oven. You can use non-machinery tools (knives, skewers, frying pans, ect) but absolutely NO other machines than the allowed.
Honestly as someone who lives in Japan where ovens are not usually included in apartments, I really just want to see how to make good food without ovens and blenders
Btw thank you SORTED for the super clear audio for today's video. Props 👏
Mike's looked so good! That's definitely the one I want to eat and make at home.
Keep it up Mike, its a marathon not a sprint! You got this!
Yes I already know this will be fabulous!
I don’t like the “only one badge”; if all the boys meet the requirements they should get the badge
Improvisation badge: give them all the same ingredients and a basic pantry and see what comes up.
I'd be more than happy waiting an extra 9 to dine on Mike's dish, holy heck that looks mouthwatering 😍🤤
Have we had a leftovers cooking battle yet? Sounds like a good idea for a chef's badge.
BADGE IDEA: Aiding and Abetting Badge - have them improve each others recipe for 5 minutes then switch back to their own recipes, anyone that sabotage gets 5 minutes taken away :)
“Budget battle badge” say that five times fast 😋
pretty easy actually
Ur a twat m8
I ended up calling a bagger
@@Hoxnator Um excuse me?
@@kateh7484 u heard me the fisrt time so stfu
Sorry guys, I know you upload on Sunday but I deliberately watch your video on Monday to make my Monday a little bit easier, and it never fails to. Thanks a lot for fun and amazing videos guys
i think i just might make jamie's dish soon, it looks yummy!
It was super tasty!
hey, thanks so much for pumping out videos! over the past 4-5 years your guys have made amazing consistent videos, and in the past couple months that I have been following your channel I never have a shortage of videos I haven't seen! I'm here for it! I'm going to get the app this year for my birthday and become part of the food club! Keep up the good work!!
My favorite part of every Sunday :)
Well deserved winner, and that recipe looks delicious!
5:56 All the editing geniuses are currently in the SortedFood HQ 😂
I still remember Ben's laser eyes lmao
@@kiro9291 That was just (chef’s kiss)
One of my favorite Sorted moments ever.
@@kiro9291 oooh, do you remember which video is that from again?
