Bless you guys for teaming up with Charity Water. I personally know what it's like to live without access to naturally clean water, so really, thank you for helping these people.
What do you do with the leftover fondue? Do you mix in mashed potatoes and make it into croquettes? ohh! Do a "What to do with leftovers!" episode! With the holiday season, there is going to be soo much of food leftover. Ohh! a leftover microwave dinner episode so that we could just make a bunch of new stuff with the leftovers and then portion them out, freeze them and have them on days when you just don't want to cook! Happy holidays to you 12! Ben you are amazing and I've learnt so much for you these past few years! Cheerios xoxo
Gruyère and Vacherin Fribougeois is a traditional 50/50 combo and it is one of my favorites but the important thing is to use cheese that YOU like ! It's one of the best meals to have with your mates.
I live in Switzerland and have never seen a Swiss person make fondue like that! (but love you guys :) ) Add the cornflour to the wine and let it thicken and you need more garlic and nutmeg. Also sometimes Kirche although optional. Also only dip bread in the fondue so it doesn't mess up the cheese!
Half of my family is Swiss, and this looks amazing! (Almost) like the fondue my grandma makes, because she, like lots of people in Switzerland, buys her fondue cheese in a bag from the supermarket, mixed up already. In terms of stuff to dip, what she recommends is actually pineapple, because the acids make it easier to digest all the cheese and bread.
I went to a fondue restaurant for my mom's birthday earlier this year. It was the greatest experience of my life. They have a stove burner in the center of the table and made the fondue right in front of you. I've literally never been happier than I was when I was sitting at that table.
Thank you! Charity: Water has been one of my favorite charities for well over a decade. Even the smallest donation can help improve our world. Clean water means less costs for health and more opportunities for education for kids. Better education means an improved village, better opportunities for employment, and more wells to keep the cycle going!
When we do Fondue at my house we always add a bit of Kirsch Schnaps into the melted cheese before serving it. Another great "Fondue" version is japanese Fondue that is made with broth. You use little baskets to cook vegetables and meat in the broth. Delicious. Plus, you have a very rich broth as left over.
As a French I'm quite a fan of fondue. Since you must keep it warm (often with a flame )in the end ,you're left with a brown/golden chese at the bottom. Then you must crack an egg in it ,let it cook a bit.....and it's heaven ^^
For those who may feel it'll be a hard dish to digest, you can add half a tea spoon of sodium bicarbonate. You won't feel the difference when you eat it but it makes digesting it much easier on your stomach.
Y'all are awesome! I am an old lady and could just scoop y'all up and adopt you as my grandsons! I love your joy and creativity! I have added several Sorted recipes to my cookbook!
Because my dad does not eat cheese we used to do oil fondues when I was little. (70's child here) Loved it. Meatballs and breaded mushrooms were my favourite!
Just to add something to the "why use alcohol" question, there's certain flavour and aroma compounds that can't dissolve into water or fat, but do dissolve into alcohol.
I approve of the CharityWater! Might I suggest that you get yourself involved with Project for Awesome next year? It'll get your charity more exposure and well known, it's a wonderful campaign and I encourage you all to donate. DFTBA
For variants try adding "1 Stamperl Kirschwasser oder Himbergeist", which is basicly one shot of cherry or raspberry brandy. Also you can go more cracy on the cheese selection, i have at least 3 types of cheese in there. I'd prefer this without lemonjuice in the cheese, but a white whine to drink.
Nice recipie bit in the east of switzerland we make our fondue quite different. The beld of cheese is up to the individual but in the east emmental is rare... My family uses a mix of appenzeller and vachrain. We do not only use the wine but also kirsch to cook the fondue. In the east most people also only dipp bread... but thats also optional :)
I'm Swiss and I have to say that this is a really fancy and probably also delicious recipe, however we really don't do that many things for fondue, like we use super basic bread and nothing else for dunking it in the cheese and also, we always use wine since the alcohol evaporates during the cooking process, so it's really much simpler than you did it ;) just garlic, white wine, corn starch, kirsch, and of course cheese :) the bread you made looked really good though!
you also need pieces of pear, apple or pineapple, ham or swiss dried meat, gurkins and marinated garlic to dip. and do the mixture with Appenzeller and Gruyere.. and last but not least, Kirsch!
Now with this recipe, I'm curious to know if the texture of the bread would change if you had spritzed the bread with water and baked it with a shallow pan of water on the bottom of the oven much like you would with french bread. Would it taste the same? Different? Would it change it for the good or the bad?
As a swiss national with a sri lankan dad, he's brougth fondue to another level adding chopped chili pepers, quartered cherry tomtatoes ( not too many or the fondue gets all soggy and gross) and green peppercons. Cheesy, spicey, yeah just good =)
today's my birthday and what I did for my birthday dinner was make beer cheese fondue and turned out really good! I made a lot and I shared some with my parents of course.
I'm loving the recipe and the charity thought but just to get the most out of it you should thoroughly coat your things to dippy-dip by stirring them instead of just dunking them.. As a Swiss I could only recommend this :) but other than that you did great! :)
XD Mike if ever I've heard a Freudian slip, 'my Ben' has to be the best. I'm not the only one who desperately wants Ben & Mike to be a couple am I? Or have I crossed into the dark side of the Sorted fandom?...
Why must you be shippers people? They are good friends and enjoy working with each other. Another great night in video! Love it. Very surprised Mike enjoyed the fondue lol. My husband would have opted out. Hahaha. 😅
+Captain Erio it's a reference to the first captain America movie. there is this scene where cap and his two friends, Peggy and Howard (who happens to be Tony Stark's dad) are on a plane. Howard asks if they could stop by and get some late night fondue. cap thought of it as some kind of sexy time codename so hence he asked if Peggy and howard fondued.
Has anyone else noticed that they always choose the picture that is the least flattering for Ben (aka hes pulling a funny face or looking the other way) at the end of every/most videos I find it so funny
close but not normal swiss stype. put away the lemon break is up to the taste of the people eating it we usually go for white... we do not put anything else in but break and an egg at the end but I heared that others do this now too here in switzerland :) good video...liked it!
the candle holders are the same as the cups they used for the masala chai for tea three ways. tricky sorted, trying to trick us with the ol' candle/teacup switcheroo
the cheese fondue i make is just a block of american cheese, pimentos, flour, packet of dry onion, milk and butter blend it up. very simple but so yummy
watching these videos and laughing so hard i cry because its stupid o'clock in the morning and i can't sleep is definitely not the worst idea I've had!
one thing I would like to see is a good Stew or Chowder. in the winter these are some of my favorite foods but finding a good Easy one that is just a bit different is hard. I live in Arizona State USA. cheap meat is even harder to find
It's really great the guys talked about water charity, but drinking cold water while eating cheese means the cheese will harden very quickly in your stomach, and you'll get stomachache, so if you ever get a chance at fondue, it's highly recommanded to drink something hot.
Traditionally you'd use pain paysan (white bread but with a really tough crust), potatoes and pretty much nothing else to dip, but I have to say I like this version better.
Ben, the bread you used seemed interesting. is there a difference in the flour europe uses ; compared to the U.S. for slighty gluten sensitive individuals?
easier way to peel quailegg is to soak those in vinegar for 20 minutes or so. it will soften up the shell and u wont break the egg so easily cuz its so fragile egg when its softboiled..
Bless you guys for teaming up with Charity Water. I personally know what it's like to live without access to naturally clean water, so really, thank you for helping these people.
I'm swiss and I approve of this recipe! :D
I recommend drinking hot tea while eating fondue, it helps digest the heavy cheese.
+YukiNoYume That's a handy tip!
+YukiNoYume hey, au schwitzer :D

In fondue there are no leftovers, you eat it all
Leftover fondue? I don't know what you're talking about. No such thing
A pot of melting cheese and savoury rosemary bread = BLISS
+Esther Gee That bread is a thing of beauty isn't it? Tots going to try it!!! Love caramelized onions!!!
But not the beautiful veggies?
Gruyère and Vacherin Fribougeois is a traditional 50/50 combo and it is one of my favorites but the important thing is to use cheese that YOU like ! It's one of the best meals to have with your mates.
ummm is anyone else gonna comment on the adorable face Ben made when he had too much wine?!?! SO CUTE!
But, AHHHHH!! "My Ben" AHHHH!!
haha, I thought that too, bless him!!
So true :)
I live in Switzerland and have never seen a Swiss person make fondue like that! (but love you guys :) ) Add the cornflour to the wine and let it thicken and you need more garlic and nutmeg. Also sometimes Kirche although optional. Also only dip bread in the fondue so it doesn't mess up the cheese!

"as my Ben" the BenxMike community on tumblr are going to have a field day!
Haha! I thought the very same!
My thoughts exactly! :D That would be a textbook Freudian slip, ladies and gentlemen..
+Tarah Field im crying so hard rn this is a glorious day!!!
It's like when you call the teacher in school "Mum" 🙈🙉🙊
***** You know how long I've been waiting for Ben to admit the existence of Tyrone. Then you'll see my tumblr freak out.
I have been donating to charity water since I was 8, I am 14 now. It is a great cause
3:48 SO FREAKING ADORABLE!!! Damn it Ben!! Stop it!!
it really is the return of Mike's knitted jumpers
I watch this video way more than I should. There's just something about this video that makes me want to watch it as often as I do!
Whoever decorated the room/table is creative and genius!!
oh Lord, the pinecone at the end! I'm laughing so hard!
I just noticed!😂😂😂
+Lindsay Carr He looks so pleased with himself!
i just saw it.. bless Jamie
hi
Guys, I LOVE that this series is weekly. So many big meal ideas to choose from! Keep it up! ☺

ahhhh drooling! i love fondue
Awesome that you are supporting Charity Water! I will donate for my fam too. Also love fondue, can't wait to try this! "Too much wine" hehe.
Hey great video, im glad you guys brought up how much we take clean water for granted
Every year we do the three fondue types for New Years Eve with the kids. They have so much fun.
i love the incorporation of water (the charity) into this video!!
For those who may feel it'll be a hard dish to digest, you can add half a tea spoon of sodium bicarbonate. You won't feel the difference when you eat it but it makes digesting it much easier on your stomach.

I can't sleep so I'm watching Sorted. I just laughed out loud so hard with the "as my Ben" slip. 😜 They're so adorable!💖💖 Loved the mini tantrum! 😂😂😂
It's 2.19am and now I'm hungry. Bad choice to watch Sorted before bed. Excuse me while I head to the fridge...
*Waiting for the "Fondue for Two" references....*
MAN!
+That One Female Gamer That's some hot dish

fondue bourguignonne
and
fondue bressanne
When I was in Germany we had an oil fondue for Christmas! I had completely forgotten about it until I read your comment!
Forgotten how much I love Big Night In videos
Ben's "too much wine" face is SO ADORBS!!
Just to add something to the "why use alcohol" question, there's certain flavour and aroma compounds that can't dissolve into water or fat, but do dissolve into alcohol.
When my kids were little we fondued at least once a month. Loved it.
I approve of the CharityWater! Might I suggest that you get yourself involved with Project for Awesome next year? It'll get your charity more exposure and well known, it's a wonderful campaign and I encourage you all to donate. DFTBA
HOLY SHIT, #BIKE IS REAL. #ShipBike #Ebberstone 😂
👍👍
+Michiko Yeung YES #Ebberstone

The only thing warmer than that Fondue is the love between the crew...
"...and called me by the exact same name as my Ben" Wait! Ben = Dad? *gasp* Is Mike's middle name Tyrone?!?!
you are funny 😂😂😂😂
daddy
So lovely to hear that you guys have teamed up with a charity
Fondue For Two! Fondue For Two! That's some hot dish! Fondue For Two!
I'm Swiss and we sometimes put applejuice in the fondue, instead of wine, if you don't want any alcohol in there ;)
I'm Swiss and I have to say that this is a really fancy and probably also delicious recipe, however we really don't do that many things for fondue, like we use super basic bread and nothing else for dunking it in the cheese and also, we always use wine since the alcohol evaporates during the cooking process, so it's really much simpler than you did it ;) just garlic, white wine, corn starch, kirsch, and of course cheese :) the bread you made looked really good though!
Bring this series back!
ben's face at 3:56 freakin' kiiilllllssss meeeee.
you also need pieces of pear, apple or pineapple, ham or swiss dried meat, gurkins and marinated garlic to dip. and do the mixture with Appenzeller and Gruyere.. and last but not least, Kirsch!
"..the same name as my Ben" awww your Ben ^^ great slip of the tongue!
'Clumping together' bens was so cute 😍😘😘
Now with this recipe, I'm curious to know if the texture of the bread would change if you had spritzed the bread with water and baked it with a shallow pan of water on the bottom of the oven much like you would with french bread. Would it taste the same? Different? Would it change it for the good or the bad?
Posted the same day as the 2015 Project for Awesome.
Great Charity to support.
Always have to love fondue, in the colder months especially.
It's awesome to see you guys team up with C:W! My favorite charity! : )
As a swiss national with a sri lankan dad, he's brougth fondue to another level adding chopped chili pepers, quartered cherry tomtatoes ( not too many or the fondue gets all soggy and gross) and green peppercons. Cheesy, spicey, yeah just good =)
OHMYGOD BENS FACE WHEN HE SAID 'TOO MUCH WINE' IS THE CUTEST THING IVE SEEN IN MY EXISTENCE
Ben's definitive "too much wine" response was hilarious!
today's my birthday and what I did for my birthday dinner was make beer cheese fondue and turned out really good! I made a lot and I shared some with my parents of course.
first attempt btw.
More cheese more cheese!! I love when Ben says this
I'm loving the recipe and the charity thought but just to get the most out of it you should thoroughly coat your things to dippy-dip by stirring them instead of just dunking them.. As a Swiss I could only recommend this :) but other than that you did great! :)
The best mix in my opinion is equal parts of vacherin, gruyere and appenzeller. Greetings from Switzerland 😊
You boys... great friendship goals!
XD Mike if ever I've heard a Freudian slip, 'my Ben' has to be the best. I'm not the only one who desperately wants Ben & Mike to be a couple am I? Or have I crossed into the dark side of the Sorted fandom?...
There's a lot of us! Join the party!
Yeah, I think you might have... :o
+Rachael McInnes Barry & Ben seems to be the favorite, but I have no doubt there're loads of Ben + Mike shippers . . .
We've even congregated on other sites!
FINALLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A FONDUE RECIPE!!!!!!!!!!
Why must you be shippers people? They are good friends and enjoy working with each other. Another great night in video! Love it. Very surprised Mike enjoyed the fondue lol. My husband would have opted out. Hahaha. 😅
"so do you two..fondue?"
xD idk how many people got that reference
captain america
+Sabrina Safitri I don't get it ... care to explain ? btw love your Dylan pic
+Captain Erio it's a reference to the first captain America movie. there is this scene where cap and his two friends, Peggy and Howard (who happens to be Tony Stark's dad) are on a plane. Howard asks if they could stop by and get some late night fondue. cap thought of it as some kind of sexy time codename so hence he asked if Peggy and howard fondued.
Sabrina Safitri arrr ... Thanks ! I didn't watch that movie
Need to make this for my college christmas party for sure!!!
Oooohhh yeah..i will make the bread... Thank you for sharing gentlements😘😘😘😘
I only use wine and gruyere cheese for the fondue but this recipe looks awesome
Has anyone else noticed that they always choose the picture that is the least flattering for Ben (aka hes pulling a funny face or looking the other way) at the end of every/most videos I find it so funny
you guys even answered our question about Mike's middle name! im so happy today
I love fondue! I love eating it with olive bread potatoes and olives (I love olives with a passion I blame the Greek in me)
close but not normal swiss stype.
put away the lemon
break is up to the taste of the people eating it we usually go for white...
we do not put anything else in but break and an egg at the end
but I heared that others do this now too here in switzerland :)
good video...liked it!
here's one of my favourite recipe EVER!!!
fondue is one of my favorites i have a big 10 people fondue pot wich i use for cheese and chocolate fondue's
the candle holders are the same as the cups they used for the masala chai for tea three ways. tricky sorted, trying to trick us with the ol' candle/teacup switcheroo
I just have to point out Ben's amazing smolder at 3:56. You're welcome :D
Personally, I prefer moitié-moitié, which is gruyère and vacherin. Also, what would a Swiss stylr fondue be without the Kirsch? 😏
the cheese fondue i make is just a block of american cheese, pimentos, flour, packet of dry onion, milk and butter blend it up. very simple but so yummy
My family makes it with just gruyere and it's delicious
You guys are the epitome of cuteness :)
It's nice to see u guys team up with Charity Water
I just love you guys!
watching these videos and laughing so hard i cry because its stupid o'clock in the morning and i can't sleep is definitely not the worst idea I've had!
I'm swiss and I do my fondue very differently and I don't like emmentaler and gruyere together, my favorite mix is gruyere and Vacherin :)
the background music that played while they were preparing the bread reminded me of the sims
I just can't stop watching this... came back from tumblr..😍😍😍
reported
“What’s wrong with you?”
“To much wine”
Story of my life 😂
You are adding the onions before or after the dough has proven?
Nice video ! Big night in - Makes every Friday , better! ❤️
one thing I would like to see is a good Stew or Chowder. in the winter these are some of my favorite foods but finding a good Easy one that is just a bit different is hard. I live in Arizona State USA. cheap meat is even harder to find
what a nice idea, definatly going to do this with friends
my ben. BEN IS ALL YOURS MIKE
The look on Ben's face when he said "Too much wine" to me read "I need more wine"
It's really great the guys talked about water charity, but drinking cold water while eating cheese means the cheese will harden very quickly in your stomach, and you'll get stomachache, so if you ever get a chance at fondue, it's highly recommanded to drink something hot.
