Yes. The kitchen I cook in has a steamer and that is truly the best way to juice them.

[@megababe3000]

Honestly I think i would have been fine with it, if he peeled them first, ya know like oranges...but with the skin on I just can't fathom that

[@khaxjc1]

Lauryn Baptiste we had family in Florida who would reach out their kitchen to their orange tree, grab orange, maybe wash it, then toss it in a bender as is without removing anything to make juice. My uncle had orange juice ruined for him after drinking it cause it was so good. While most canned orange juice has been through a seriously bizarre process to get its flavor. There are people who eat orange peel when they eat sliced oranges which makes me cringe. I think what someone considered standard really just comes down to what you're used to and as long as its safe to drink there isn't a wrong way when it comes to drinking or eating. For cooking and baking though, as another commenter pointed out, breaking it down in the blender that way adds more fiber and other things that straight up pressing or squeezing the juice out wouldn't.

[@marymaryquitecontrary]

To me, one mark of a good key lime pie is this: When it arrives at the table, it looks plain and insignificant compared to other pies. Then I taste it and realize less is more, it's plenty satisfying in the amount served.

I went through a key lime pie phase a few years back and wanted to make the OG recipe. The one you were given is it. The only improvement to make is to leave your graham cracker crust in different sizes. More like what you get when you put the crackers in a zip top bag and beat them with a rolling pin. The texture really plays well against the creaminess of the custard. Oh, and it would have been slightly beneficial to add two tablespoons of key lime zest too. Though considering the blender method of juice extraction, you probably got enough essential oils for it to have been a wash.

The look when he mentioned the Clitoria flower tho..

[@lizzy1127369]

As a Floridian, I'm so happy the guys chose this challenge!

[@courtxthexcutie]

I have been rewatching old game-changers for MONTHS while missing travel, so YES please go to Florida the very INSTANT you are ready

[@hestia4870]

Jamie completing Barry's dad joke was perfect, just proves dads are stronger together 😌

[@Lizity626]

The moment Ben said he was adding nuts he'd already ruined it.

[@tetchedistress]

Ben, ya goofed. That wasn't a key lime pie. Boys, you made me happy today. Thank you

[@akoshykoshy]

1) I love Jamie’s shirt 2) Mike really wants to watch the world burn and start some dramaaaa in the kitchen

[@binzbaker1728]

Barry is hilarious….Jamie’s saying “NO” and he just goes ahead and blends the limes, no panic…just blends lol. Take a shot at butter tarts next…fully Canadian way 👍😀

[@Whatwillhappen2024]

The Normals won simply because Ben’s “Florida” went the wrong way. His panhandle went East not West. Great job guys!

[@JuiceBoxScott]

It's true, but I think that was probably the plan going in. If they don't screw up the real Key Lime Pie, they win.

Spoilers at the top comment spot 🥲

Why did this have to be the top comment 😂😭

[@masansr]

Almost certain Carissa won this battle, even though she wasn't there.

[@gknucklez]

They won because Ben didn't try to win lol. I think he knew that he wouldn't get the win if the other don't fail monstrously, he just wanted to celebrate his experiences and I think he did that wonderfully

[@christopherbrown7230]

Being a Floridian who lived in Egypt (we are a rare breed I admit) I can attest that Egyptian key lines are almost identical to Floridian key limes! They make a wonderful and refreshing limeade out of them and it’s amazing

[@hilotakenaka]

Honestly, I think Jamie was right with those decorations. Almost gave it a floral appearance I mean Ben's sort of had one too, but his was more like "Tossed flower petals onto the plate" than an open rose

[@zzskyninjazz1821]

To me it just looked like a sand monsters teeth coming out the ground

[@kairotox]

I think piped whipped cream with a fancy nozzle into dollops evenly spaced around the top in a circle would have looked better. but, given how little time they had left, I thought it was great! It broke up the plainish top with something interesting. Another option: What if they candied some of the limes and either a. dyed them red or b. candied them in cherry juice somehow? So that there was some color variation in the garnish?

[@adde9506]

I'd have preferred if they trimmed the crust and grabbed one of Ben's flowers, but it did need the color and height at the middle. I'm actually a fan of the whipped cream all over; it isn't as pretty, but it eats better.

[@jeanneferguson7124]

As a longtime Floridian who totally loves key lime pie and think you normals did a bang on job! Ben's creation was a beautiful, edible piece of art but I'd still prefer yours!

[@zeyadabbas8525]

you see, being egyptian, i instantly thought, these look exactly like the ones i use here, fast forward a couple of minutes, they are indeed egyptian key limes (which are generally referred to as green lemon or simply just lemon XD, as they're the most abundant and cheapest)

[@SortedFood]

That's super interesting, thanks for sharing! They may be the cheapest but they sure are tasty when put in a pie.

[@janmay3901]

Wow, thanks for the info!

[@erins9256]

That is so awesome!!

[@secretforreddit]

I just want to say, I like that you put in the little intermission "If you like this video please LIKE it" card. It's a good reminder that always is well-placed in the videos!

[@laurendenise247]

As a native Floridian, my heart broke a little when they decided to spread the whipped cream all over the top of the pie

[@KrypsynDraconian]

Ha! I will admit I raised an eyebrow at that. However, I just thought to myself, "Huh, I guess that could work." Not the way it is usually done, but it would save me having to take a bit of whipped cream, then a bit of pie every bite. Edit: If you are talking about presentation, then I get it.

[@elizabethdresdow3725]

I've always had it with a dollop on top, and then, if you want, you can spread more after you have your individual slice. But at least they had the cross section!

[@metalingusable]

This was a fun one for me! Your original key lime pie sorted recipe was the first sorted video I've ever watched. Maybe 8 or so years ago? I've been addicted ever since!

[@evecleroux8368]

I think Bens "creativity" went a bit off the rails without James...

[@GlassMushrooms]

Where is James ):

[@violetskies14]

@@GlassMushrooms he's left for a new job because he wanted to challenge himself. He said he'd come back sometimes.

@@neutraltral8757 To be fair, I had to hear it twice, Jamie's accent is to strong, but it really made me laugh.

I see the tradition of 'completely unable to properly prepare American dishes, no matter how directly they are told to do them' is alive and well here at Sorted. I still haven't forgiven you guys for what you did to meatloaf.

[@KiharuKitty]

Oh god, I had deleted the meatloaf, that was.. 😩

[@marcelinefang]

I want them to attempt Midwestern "Hotdish" just

[@s30123]

Ty. I don't even like meatloaf but wtf?

[@Trashfire_Nee]

Oh no... i've never seen what they did to meatloaf. I don't know if i should find it and subject myself to that or if i should live in ignorant bliss..
