Who
whoa, you almost got me there
Nope why what?
Did they not just change the names of each option? From some notifications to personalized notifications?
Annie Xia I thought it was either no bell or all notifications before. Now it is none, personal. Or all... added a middle option.
“We got embers!”
Ben, if you ever open a BBQ restaurant/food truck, you need to call it Ebbers’ Embers
You should get a commission for suuuuuure
That should be their next cookbook!
No next book should be our biggest cooking and bbq fails.... learn from our mis takes... 💪😜🇨🇭
Bembers
Embbers'
“I Spilt some...It’s cause I opened the bag funny”....*wipes his hands on Ben*
Childish James 😂😂😂 I live!!!!!
James is EVERYTHING.
Agreed. I have watched this five times. He is super cute in the 3 way pizza video too.

The towel dance. I need a compilation of everytime they've done the towel dance. PLEASE.
True
1:17
James: "I spilled some..."
Ben: **sighs like an exasperated father**
"I'm not mad...just disappointed..."
Drinking game: take a shot every time James says charcoal flavour
Hehehe 69 likes.... yes im an adult...... i think....
@@IrmaU94 wait until we get too 420...
No thanks, I don't wanna die mate
*passed out*
@soul Breaker now i cant unsee it. So true.... link was a littler thinner though
"Next week on SORTED we test carbon monoxide detectors."
Maybe a bit cryptic for some, especially these guys.
Meh.
Too much of a headache.
Caught cherry-red handed grilling indoors
This is an underrated string of comments and my faith in humanity and the internet is restored. Well done, all of you.
Good point... hilarious point.. but to bring forward the obvious: Using this thing indoors is an invitation for carbonmonoxide poisoning. No one has a room as big as they have, using it in a small flat will almost guaranteed cause serious health problems. I like the concept but this should only be done outdoors. I would even go as fas as recommending putting this video down. I like the channel but this really gives the wrong idea to people...
beating around the bush + flogging a dead horse: beating a dead pony. Nice James
when you know James had to much coffee
James:*acts like a child*
me: WHY IS THIS SO CUTE!!!!
"I spilt some."
"It's because I opened the bag funny."
😂😂😂
James: Ben, you're terrible at opening things.
Also James: Ben, I opened this terribly...
He didn't pull on the strings the right way 🤣
@@NettanJuni How do you pull them the right way?
@@ploefff you're supposed to first release the string from the loop and then pull both strings.
I literally found this out in a Swedish commercial here on TH-cam 😂
@@NettanJuni Thank you for the tip. I guess I'll have to pull some strings at the next barbecue to see if I can be in charge of the charcoal then 😜
You should've had more focus on carbon monoxide, which is the main reason you don't grill inside, not the visible smoke.
Right, at least with smoke you know if your room is filling with it. CO just kinda... kills ya.
Thank you. Exactly. The smoke isn't the dangerous part. The carbon monoxide is.
But he just wants the carbon flavour. You know cause it's a grill. Beating dead ponies and whatnot.
Don't worry they'll join the dead beaten pony
Smoke contains carbon monoxide virtual always. Then again smoke is a very broad term
I just love James and Ben. Ben and his innuendos and James and his dry humor.
Mike being the peanut gallery is amazing.
10/10 guys!
Ben: number one the peoples favourite. A sausage
James: *silent laugh*
Btw the main reason not to bbq inside is not the smoke. It's the deadly and invisible carbon monoxide. I take it that since it's still telling you not to cook indoors it probably gives off quite a bit. Your place is pretty big so you're probably fine short term but seriously do not burn charcoal inside. Smokeless or not
Very good point and I’m pretty sure charcoal is one of those fuels that give off particularly large amounts of carbon monoxide.
Anything burning that has carbon can produce carbon monoxide when the fire isn't getting enough oxygen. That thing has a fan blowing air into it so it's probably putting out carbon dioxide mostly.
@@MrEshah Interesting. I was unaware of this. Though it's probably still best to play it safe
This video is a little misleading and dangerous. There is no way a charcoal grill will not produce carbon monoxide no matter how efficient the burn is with, even with increased air flow (increased air flow will only increase the burn rate, and production of carbon monoxide). If you are in a well ventilated area like a patio you should be ok, however using this in a confined space (like a kitchen) is great way of providing your friends and yourself with carbon monoxide poisoning. I'm surprised by the lack of people mentioning this - I had to scroll down 20 comments before I found your mention.
@@GhibliOmatiC Im sure they were totally safe in the conditions they were in. And in most cases it'd probably be vaguely ok. I do wish that they had at least mentioned it in the video though. Im imagining someone in a studio apartment trying this and dying from it. It's hard to tell how safe it really is. I have nothing against the channel. these dudes are awesome and I love them! I just hope at the very least they add some sort of annotation to the video saying not to try this indoors rather than their tactic of saying "the instructions say dont do this but we opened a window so we should be fine"
"Today we are testing a grill that doesn't produce smoke"
"I'm really missing the flavour of smoke in the dishes we cooked on this grill without smoke"
Thank you sherlock. :D
"We learned that oil smokes"
-a chef
Did you guys know James wants charcoal flavor
Would never have though that 🤭
We if that is true, why is he not saying it?
Never realised.
He would like a charcoaled dead pony thank you very much
I've seen the whole video and I also got the feeling that he wanted that charcoal flavor, don't know why.
normally I'm team Ben but today James was priceless.
"I'm not compromising on flavour, Ben"...
Someone also has to gif that towel dance...
the constant comparison to charcoal...
the dead pony...
IT GLOWS...!!!
James needs to drink coffee before shooting more often 😅
This was like watching my parents fight about the BBQ. I love it.
No this was two people who dont understand the basics of grilling nor bbq yet claim to be chefs... Any I mean chef that claims to like grilling and bbq worth their salt knows smoke is one the key ingredients to produce flavor....they don't seem to understand this
I gotta say, I am always so impressed that - outside of just friends giving each other crap - Ben and James always seem so respectful of each other's education and expertise. Love that combination.
I'd love to see you two try using an air-fryer!
I love how James is coffee high!❤️
Seems more than coffee!
Something that I absolutely love about this channel, is, even in the videos where the focus is a 'gadget', and reviewing the gadget, you -still- give good descriptions of the food you are using with the gadgets. You maintain the integrity of being chefs, and educational/informative with cuisine/recipes, even when the video is mostly a technology one. Thank you for the videos, I watch every one!
Thanks for your kind words... We certainly try to make sure everyone can learn something or be inspired to try something from each video.
I have the same grill at home. Mine does smoke quite a bit so I only use it outside but I do get the charcoal flavour. I like the fact that almost all of it can go in the dishwasher after you're done so it saves a lot of cleaning time. I'm actually very happy with it.
I guess it's a matter of turning down the fan so it runs inefficiently and smokes? (and thus produces carbon monoxide so only do it outdoors!)
More of this James, please. Caffeinate him to high heaven.
How bout they make a segment in Amsterdam and do some high cooking?
I agree, this James is wonderful
WOW i love this line: "flogging a dead horse! You said beating a dead pony!" like what the heck James and Mike LOL
more chef videos! love seeing Ben and James geek out on something!
You should do a Korean bbq episode with this machine!:)
I would watch that.
We say 'not to beat a dead horse' in Texas. ...but never a pony 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I thought he was joking when he said it, twisting it on purpose, but no. silly 😂
In Vancouver, Washington (the State and not B.C. Canada) we say "Not to beat a dead horse" too. ;)
It’s not about the horse being dead, it’s whether or not the horse is on fire...
I definitely heard not to beat a dead penguin and I got really confused.
Caffeinated James should become a recurring character hahaha
Kino Sevilla It’s not the caffeine, it’s the carbon monoxide hallucination
Well, isn't having smoke imparting flavors to the meat the whole point of barbecuing? If not, wouldn't that be the same as doing something with a pan/grilling machine?
Nah in the words of hank hill taste the meat not the heat
Exactly one of the best parts of grilling food is the smoke
james was in such a playful mood when they filmed this, wow!
James: I'm beating a dead pony.
Mike: I think it's beating a dead horse.
Ben: I don't think you should be beating dead carcasses at all...
Oh Ben... you always know how to cheer me up.
A follow through would have been beating his...
everyone knows you must sear a carcass, not beat it.
Going back to your old videos your "normals" have improved 10 fold with cooking. They may not be considered normals anymore...
Definitely better than most normals 😂😂😂
Hm.... Tempered normals? Apprenti-chefs?
James was so animated today haha. He seemed in love with the BBQ.
"Beating a dead pony" I just assumed it was the Scots version
Umm it says “Ban and James” in the description.
Just wanted to point that out real quick, now to watch another delightful Sorted video.
Yes
Good spot! I'll change that now!
SORTEDfood x Seven Deadly Sins
@@matthewlotto4607 I'd watch it
@@SortedFood yet you didn't 😂
My worry indoors would be carbon monoxide buildup, not smoke.
First thing that came to my mind as well...
Because of the extra air intake it wil not be monoxide But dioxide which is less harmfull
This is because iT Burns cleaner
That one weird guy in town uhhh...wat? The typos make me want to see more evidence.
KettouRyuujin if it doesn’t produce smoke off the actual charcoal that means you’re not getting completely incomplete combustion as there’s no solid carbon being produced. However there’s still room for partially incomplete combustion which will release CO, while CO(2) cannot be escaped as that’s the carbon product of complete combustion. Both can be harmful.
In that large a space it wouldn't be an issue. Don't use this in, say, a studio apartment.
Ben has his own brand of adorableness, which generally does not change, but James? JAMES??? This was a whole new James we all wouldn't mind seeing more of.
"It glows! Why does it glow?" UGH, MY HEART. James, you precious gingersnap. 😂♥
It actually has charcoal flavour if you grill it on the outer part.😊 the inner part is only for preventing the grease to drip on to the charcoal.
they said it doesnt and have also grilled outside and not much heat outside
And this is why I love Wednesdays 😊😊
James jumping on the Let's-Torment-Ben Bandwagon is the kind of content I look for.
I love watching these two test different products - it always gives me an idea how I can step up my own kitchen game. More, please! (Also, totally want that trout and pineapple for dinner.)
James’s towel dance is everything! 🤣🤣❤️
James needs to drink coffee before shows more often 😂
Also... #GiveUsMoreReviews
Walked in from work with a busy service today to see this... These videos actually make me like being a chef!
Where are you from? Somewhere about Australia? Also how did you get into the profession? I'm keeping catering as a backup plan.
@@matthewlotto4607 Im from the UK. And All I did was start as a pot washer and worked my way up. I have learnt everything by being on the job. I was lucky really because when I started, the place I was working at sorted me out with the certificates I needed
@@FalconChipp That was really nice of them, internal promotion.
Coffee high James is so adorable!
I tend to unwrap carefully like Ben, and Saturday my best childhood friend got too impatient when I was to open an expensive chocolate box, that she ripped it from my hands and unwrap it.
Chocolate craving women is a very dangerous thing, I was lucky she didn't maim me 🤣
🙏🏻 Please give James some extra coffee before all the videos - he’s like a little kid in this and I LOVE IT! 😍😍😍😂😂
I have one of these. My husband and I love it, it goes everywhere with us! Greatest bbq ever! Fabulous for camping ⛺️
I imagine it says to use in a well-ventilated area, not because of smoke, but because of the possibility of carbon monoxide build-up. Probably not a big issue when working with such a large space, but, safety first, lads!
charcoal fuel generates a lot of carbon monoxide
I wanted to scream this at the video
Love James reaction to the on light “it glows!” 😂
I love my Lotus Grill for 2 reasons. Firstly, it allows us to cook on our balcony. Secondly, when we started researching them at the start of the first lockdown it brought me to Sorted! I love it in equal measure for both of those reasons. Living away from the UK with no real optimism for a date for getting back it has been a joy to have some good old British banter combined with delicious food! Thanks guys.
Not sure why this popped up in my recommendations now, almost a year and a half later, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching it! It's rare to see James acting like this, but when he does he brings the video to a whole new level :)
James' laugh was absolutely precious though!
The more comfortable James gets around the boys and on the channel, the more rude he is, and I love it so much.
I definitely love the take of the two chefs on kitchen gadgets. Not that I don't love the normal three! There's just something about valuable seeing a chef's take on something even for a normal like me.
I just want James to say "it's so sturdy" to me in that loving tender way 😂😂
What the frick did you dope James with today?
Char coal smoke?
sullythejolly He doesn’t seem awake...
No it’s charcoal flavour
Ben: this deep fryer will cook a whole buffalo in 30 seconds
Jamie: but I want it now....
Also can we have some more brownie point challenges. Feels like it's been a while since we had some.
Also to add I kep meaning to say this but the "Lol" at the end when Mike is taking makes my eyes every time I hear it never false to bring a smile to me face
My day is complete now. Great summer cooking ideas!
Hears James yelling 'Ben! Ben!' > Half expects to hear Cristine (@simplynailogical) asking about her tea.
@kgrobinson007 whahahah was thinking the exact same thing🤣
Haha yeess same im glsd someone else pointed this out
As a learner of the English language, I will certainly add the "beating a dead pony" to my list of set phrases 😂 Dying for a bbq meal now, good thing the weekend is rather close!
I actually have this grill because I’m not allowed to use a regular bbq on my balcony. I love that thing and even 2 of my neighbors bought one as well. It’s also amazing to use on a picnic cause it doesn’t get hot on the outside and is easy to take along.
So glad you said that about cutting the sausage in half. Grinds my gears when people don't
I do agree with the mandatory charcoal flavor for a charcoal grill, otherwise just use an electric grill...
Flipping heck, James! Put those guns away.. We get it, you go to the gym! 💪🤣
I bought this as I lived in a thatch property. This worked perfect. With little worry about catching fire to the house!
The town I grew up in would sometimes get such heavy snow it would knock out the power lines. The BBQ wasn’t just for cooking but also how you had to heat up water for bathing. This would be so much better than trying to boil water outdoors in the snow!!
EDIT- would still want to use it by an open window in case of carbon monoxide!! Always good to have a CO detector in addition to a smoke alarm.
Sorted Wednesday always brightens my day!!
I absolutely adored caffeinated James... the outrage and demands for charcoal flavour!
My family has one of these and they are great for taking to the beach(I live in cornwall) and it is easy to take to different places and reuse. Unlike one use barbecues you can buy at the super market you get a better cooks tho and it is more eco friendly. In conclusion It isn’t as good as a proper BBQ but it does the job very well and it works very well for taking to different places.
I have one like these (different brand, a cobb) and I call it my outdoor kitchen rather then a BBQ. I got it to have something small and safe to use on my balcony during summer, but you don't have direct contact from the charcoal. If you don't consider it as a BBQ, but a grill, then it really meets expectations.
I swear this is the best channel on TH-cam theses guys are so funny
Jess M yes! And makes watching cooking tutorials all the more fun!
Yes them and Cody Ko.
James is looking for charcoal flavor, but it was discussed in the flavor pairing video that majority of the flavor comes from aroma, how can something smokeless give you the aroma if there is no smoke to impart the aroma on the food
Nobody likes a clever clogs Norman. LOL
Wow I literally never thought of that
I've got one of these, and a lid is super helpful to get things cooked through.
These are also very useful when you want to cook outdoors but have restrictions on open flames! My Mom uses this in the summer when her area prohibits BBQs, it's a good way to get around it ;)
"I'm missing the charcoal flavour."
Chefs put to the test an AIR FRYER please. It be interesting to see what it could do beyond just frying!
I love overly caffeinated James. He was delightful. In the beginning, his interrupting Ben's monologue reminds me of a kid telling you a story when you're trying to have a conversation. Ben refusing to do the towel dance, and James having to step in for him 😁
Thank you, James. You understand the point of grilling.
That dance made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I think I'd use this as a hibachi type grill, sitting around a table doing communal cooking!
That is an awesome thought. Korean BBQ for things.
I think this is my favorite video from the James era. It seems like he was having a really good time with this one and he was so sassy 😂
James, you seem a little more relaxed in this video. That makes me feel so happy!! I hope you continue to be gentle and patient with yourself
where was this when I was in college and wanting to BBQ in my dorm
Fortunately not around, or you would be dead from the carbon monoxide poisoning, not the smoke....
Has Jamie got new glasses? They look quite nice!
Also, I'm craving some lovely grilled fish now
What you guys want to look into is the biolite camp stove and grill attachment. Similar technology, wireless, but still delivers the smokey flavor of wood.
I own a Lotusgrill and I love it... it is simple fast low consumption of coal, easy to clean - I use a cast iron plate on the grill - so the heat is evenly distributed - because the middle is superhot
It's a bit hard to concentrate on video with James's big biceps in the way 😂😂
James acting like a slightly hyper, slightly out of it child as he wipes charcoal-y hands on Ben is amazing! His slightly frustrated "don't do that" reminds me too much of a parent and their child - too good
You should do a series on cast-iron. Get several cooking implements made of it and show what they can be used for and how to season and care for them. You could do:
- Large and small skillets
- a griddle
- a flat grill pan
- a Dutch OVEN- A little indoor one AND a proper outdoor one if you ever go camping again (PLEASE DO!!)
Would be great to see. I also really enjoyed your episode on knives, and I think it would be really good if you out out a video of James teaching people how to properly sharpen their knives with Japanese Whetstones.
We live in Japan and we have a Lotus Grill. We use it inside all the time. We love it.
This Episode needed Jamie, Barry and Mike judging on the side lines in French Maid Outfits
I gotta agree with James on this. You can just as easily fry up any of those in a pan and have far better control over the cooking/sear. Spending that much money on a charcoal grill that doesn't impart any flavor is like putting a hat on a hat. Fun idea though, I think the only way to make it really work would be if the grill was airtight and the smoke was allowed to permeate under the hood, but before opening a fan inside would form a vacuum preventing smoke from escaping during the opening.
It's more for the relaxed atmosphere which is what grilling is about. it actually reminds me asian style barbeque.
I know these videos are mainly for entertainment purposes for most, it I appreciate the informative review as well. I think that charcoal flavour would be a good reason to buy or not but any grill. Cheers for the info, guys!
"We've learned oil smokes" lol my favorite line
I am a huge fan of this show! Stunning camera work! But out of curiosity, would it be possible to get an overhead camera angle? I would love to see it for the challenges especially.
So when James spilled the charcoal and kept interrupting Ben, and then wiped his hands on Ben, it was all Ben's fault because he asked James to open the bag!! HAH!! XD
Could be a fun group activity.
One of my favorite local restaurants does a 'cook you own steak' thing, where they bring out the raw steak sitting on top of a hot 'lava stone'. you then slice off pieces and cook each piece to your liking, you can have some blue or some medium. I love it (as it depends on the quality of the steak how i like it cooked, cheap steak, medium rare, REALLY good steak, blue.)
A group of people could sit around this all cooking there own food to their liking as they eat it.
I went to one of those places too, and I came to the conclusion that if I'm going to cook my own steak I'm going to save the money and just stay home.
