Here's a video idea: Buy the stuff you need for a "starter" kitchen (think young person moving out first time) and cook a full week's worth of meals using only those tools (assuming that large white goods are part of the apartment). Do a survey among your viewers and find out which budgets people had when they first moved out and use that as a limit. If the stuff you buy end up being crap (very likely with a low budget), do some suggested upgrades at reasonable prices. Basically - figure out what it costs to set up a decent first kitchen.

[@MildredCady]

This is an awesome idea.

[@-TheHoneybee-]

Oh I dig this bigly muchly!

[@SMTRodent]

That's such a great idea!

[@christinebenson518]

Also tips of having a well stocked pantry. As someone who does live with 1 person, but typically only cooks for 1 it's difficult to not just buy convenience foods and I'm a chef. It feels silly to cook a great meal for 1 all the time.

[@xionmemoria]

Please!

[@Thoran666]

Gadget reviews is one of my favorite shows on this channel. 99% I don't need, 90% are junk anyway but 100% I like the reviewing and asking myself why someone came up with those products.

[@SortedFood]

That's pretty much why we do it too 😂

[@CedarSanderson]

I found the channel through gadget reviews, and have been watching it ever since. Still, my husband only watches with me when they're reviewing a gadget!

[@TndrTwn]

Seems like more items that'll end up in the landfill. Food waste, what about plastic waste?

[@Andytheevien]

​@@TndrTwn In a way it reduces waste because for the majority of things I want to buy (gadget wise) I check out reviews online and on KZbin. If the video doesn't meet my expectations I don't buy it. No chances taken.

[@TndrTwn]

@@Andytheevien I think you're right! Reviews help us choose the best and avoid the worst. I think the Sorted team is focused on the upcoming live show. (Omg! Best of luck, boys!) But I hope they start talking more about sustainability in the kitchen. Beyond food waste and into material waste.

[@kylereis3639]

I’d love to see Ben talk more about tips for cooking for 1 person. I’m sure there are plenty of us in the community that live by ourselves so we are always trying to figure out which things will make good leftovers or other ways to have variety without cooking something new every day or having a weeks worth of leftovers from a single dish

[@redeye1016]

Also relevant to those in flat shares! So much food in supermarkets is geared towards 2 people and it can be costly. Agreed this would be a great series

[@weebitfluffy]

I'm not single but I would still love a series of cooking for one. I know many cooking for one people

[@austenhead5303]

Use your freezers, people. I usually cook family sized batches and freeze portions for later. Cook once, get 4-6 meals which you can eat at any point in the next few months. Healthy, home cooked tv-dinners, basically. My freezer is currently stocked with a few zip lock baggies each of beef stroganoff, chili con carne, pork stew, beef bourgignon, bean and bacon soup, stuffed peppers, and tuna casserole. I could eat home made dinners for a couple months without cooking once. Just add some fresh veg. You could do lasagne, bolognese, soups and pies... anything that's good reheated will be good frozen, thawed and then reheated. Save time, money, electricity, and get your food exactly as healthy or unhealthy as you like it, in portion sizes you choose. Between freezer meals and home made ferments and pickles, you can just not even bother with groceries for three weeks if you're busy, and still eat a healthy, balanced diet.

[@gc2009able]

I'd love this too. Two places I've lived in had almost *no* freezer space available, which limited options even further.

[@Marzi29]

@@austenhead5303 I wish I could, my freezer is a tiny freezer box. Enough room for some bread and a couple bags of frozen veg/chicken, and that's it.

[@LadyLenaki]

The Bruno is genius for people with severe allergies or Celiac's. That's so much safer than putting your food in a communal microwave, and more pleasant than eating it cold (my normal solution).

[@billyeveryteen7328]

Or people who keep kosher or halal, since they also wouldn't be able to use a communal microwave.

[@pookhahare]

Space organizer made me annoyed just looking at it.

[@pookhahare]

I have a space rack drawer organizer from Amazon. It fits into wide kitchen drawers with 4 tiers. Holds all my spice bottles . No pouring spice into something else. Pull out drawer and easily see them.

[@SheepdogSmokey]

@@SortedFood I'm with Ebbers on that one, it needs to be able to just spin to the spice then dispense without removing the compartment, otherwise, just put the containers they come in within easy reach.

[@ashleymatthews683]

Heated lunchboxes are a gamechanger. Especially if you work in a non traditional environment that doesn't have a break room or microwave. I used the crock pot one for years. Just switched to luncheaze bc it doesn't need to be plugged in and can be set automatically to start heating. If you're working an event or convention far from plugs or on set- you just go to your bag and it's ready. Nothing is worse than cold lunches

[@Sumanitu]

Wow, thank you for letting me know about the Luncheaze. That *IS* truly a game changer for me. As a construction worker or ESPECIALLY a flagger. The fact that you can schedule the start time of heating, and set a max temperature, in a cordless 200$ product

[@majesticwerm7813]

Ok I might need to look into this. I’m a delivery driver and I don’t have time to go hunt out a place to eat in the middle of my route and I’m kinda tired of eating cold sandwiches every day. I’d thought about a lunchbox heater that plugs into a vehicle cigarette lighter outlet but a cordless one would be much better as several of our vans don’t have working outlets 😑

[@nate8088]

Thank you so much Ben for saying "As someone who lives alone". A lot of us do, and very much by choice. So it's great to have that perspective.

[@skyeadamson8257]

Just going off what Ben said about cooking for one being difficult - could we maybe get a single portion on a budget challenge? Super helpful for those of who live alone or are single, and also super helpful for uni students!

[@RoseRodent]

One portion only no food waste budget pass it on? 🤣

[@ShreksSwampFizz]

I know it’s been a few months, but have you ever heard of the brand “MyMini”? As a uni student, it’s saved my ass as far as cooking for one goes

[@MissClickKatie]

The best part of this series is that you ACTUALLY try the products no matter how overpriced, crappy or amazing they first appear. It's one thing to see an ad and make snap judgements or assumptions... but its another seeing you guys give them a proper go. Defo my fav series after pass it on

[@shreeyaprasad9989]

The “it got a star” killed me it’s kind of how I react when I don’t fail a test! Your videos never fail to make me smile!

[@Mythilt]

The spice carousel brings back memories of a friend's mother making Las Vegas meatloaf, spin the carousel and what comes up goes in, the chef decides how much. They were always delicious.

[@Aretemc]

At first mention, that sounds terrifying, but on second thought, in the hands of a knowledgeable chef that would be really interesting. If they know a lot of different spice blends/profiles... they could do a lot.

[@greteukulele4561]

[@Slitrous]

as someone who installs networks, very often during last stages of construction works, that lunch box is something that's really handy. I've been using a different brand for a few years now and i can recommend getting something like that for everyone who works outside of office spaces.

I love how the last two items were complete opposites. The chopper is something that everyone would need, if it worked properly, which it doesn't (and they never do). The ice cream roller is something that doesn't need to exist at all but is totally quality and at least does what it says it will.

I just discovered Sorted this week and have now spent more time watching cooking videos than I have actually cooking in the last month. I also have a low-key internet crush on Ben, you can tell he wants to teach and be helpful even when he offers criticism.

[@TheSelks]

Something Ebbers said has resonated with me, it is true that so many of the sorted recipes are for 2. Like Ebbers I live alone and the fact that the recipes on the app are for 2 people is one of the reasons I stopped using it. I can always do the maths myself and half recipes etc, but at that point I'm losing one of the main functions of the app. Would be really good to see it modified to make it more useful for single folk.

[@OK-mv4ih]

@@etienne8110 Wouldn't that mean having to heat it up at home beforehand? Bruno gives the option of bringing food straight from the fridge at home if one doesn't have time to heat and keeping it safe for 3 hours for later heating

[@celticecho]

The spice carousel isn’t a terrible idea, but I wouldn’t use it at all. I have an entire cupboard with 3 shelves RAMMED with herbs, spices and the like. I just use a spoon to measure out the stuff I need! Perhaps for someone with not as many herbs and spices as I have, it would be better.

[@Aretemc]

I have to think it's made for people who only have the true basics (salt, pepper) and buy mixes. I don't even have a large collection of spices and I already have more than can fit in that carousel. I have mine on a rolling cart that rolls out from my laundry area (converted walk-in closet off the kitchen) into the kitchen and then goes hide in the dark when I'm not cooking.

[@swisski]

I’m the same, my spices would never all fit. It takes one trip to the Asian supermarket or Indian guy down the road and I have whole chillies, star anise and cinnamon quills, which would never fit and then I’d be saddled with this spacecraft thing plus my usual box of “unusual” spices.

[@SidyKitty]

It would also work really well for someone who has a lot of spices as a way to put your most commonly used spices so it’s easy access. It for sure had its flaws but it has some potential.

[@tamsel814]

Wouldn't even fit in my cabinet. It just takes up so much space.

[@thelorak2494]

I like the idea of the spice rack - I tend to buy spices at a co-op, where you buy loose spices (either using a bag or bring your own container). You could easily bring those containers to fill.

[@agnesgrondahl1117]

two new ideas for challenges: 1. no energy/depression cooking (needs a better name!), get the participants to use as few elements/stages as possible AND as little clean up needed as possible (like dishes, trash etc) as little effort as possible but still not like, microwave meals you know! lite sure, use shortcuts, but you're not supposed to notice them in the final dish. cook like you have no energy to cook/depression. when I am in a depressive episode the thought of many different stages or elements in cooking or the cleaning up afterwards makes it almost impossible to start cooking. 2. Use as little electricity as possible! (don't really know how to measure this though, number of times or different points for low/medium/high...?)

[@Tikuros]

I like the idea of the ice cream roll tray, but not the fact that you need to keep it in a fairly big freezer for 24 hours to get 5 uses out of it

[@Bornahorse]

At least it's flat, takes up way less space than a bowl/paddle insert to a more traditional ice cream maker. The bowl/paddle needs to be frozen for a long time too and you can only make 1 batch with it.

[@SaltExarch]

I've seen some really dinky freezers in my day, and I'm pretty sure sure most freezers can comfortably accommodate that tray unless you're trying to shove it into the ice maker section of a mini-fridge. Definitely not something you'd need a "fairly big" freezer for.

the Bruno lunchbox is interesting if your office doesn't have a microwave, otherwise it's unnecessary; you'll have to pre-plan your lunch by 30 minutes (and having a heat source like that surrounded by paperwork on your desk could be a fire hazard), and i doubt any line to the microwave would take you that long

[@jessip8654]

My old workplace had 2 microwaves for 200 employees. Adding any more threw the breaker. If I still worked there I may have considered it, since the wait time could get over 30 minutes long at lunch. My new workplace has 8 microwaves spread over 3 floors. So, no need for Bruno now.

[@sherylkayser4750]

Regarding the spice carousel... I have had a similar one for over 15 years and it does come In handy. I have a small kitchen, with limited cabinet space. Having this mounted under a cabinet right next to the stove keeps the spices in easy reach without taking up space in the cabinets. Several people commented about labels, the carousel I have came with a sheet of printed labels listing lots of different spices, so you could choose which 12 to apply to each container. If you are someone that has many jars of spices, you know the annoyance of having to dig through a cabinet full of jars to find the one you need, this product does help.

[@bladepanthera]

That ice cream gadget is a win in my books. It's similar to using a freezer ice cream machine in terms of prep, just with a tray instead of a bowl. Will seriously consider getting one!

[@Edino_Chattino]

I've owned a similar lunch box. It's a lifesaver when taking your lunch to work. No more fighting for the only microwave for 30 people, hopping that it will be working when it gets to your turn. Just plug it in half an hour before your lunch break, eat it and rest for a while before getting back.

I love these videos so much. As a kid in the late seventies/early eighties, it was one activity that everyone in the family enjoyed - going to the Home Show and watching what we called the "slice it dice it men." It was very Ron Popeil. We tried the non-electric bag sealer, the spiral cutter that would make carrot rosettes if it didn't shred your fingers in the cutlery drawer first, the spout that you shove into an orange to juice it (which actually did work), and I was very excited when I went to university because I was able to buy one of those knives that could cut a tin can and still smoothly cut a tomato (with complementary steak knives included!). I never used it to cut a tin can though.

[@kareliask]

On the subject of spice storage, if you have a lot I'd recommend using a full drawer with small clip jars. Depending on the brand they're just short enough to fit into a standard UK sized drawer. You can put round stickers on the top with the names, and arrange alphabetically. It's very quick to retrieve them, and what space you lose in a drawer you can make up from wherever else you were keeping them. YMMV.

The majority of my spice cabinet contains three of them--two stacked on a tall shelf and one separate on a short one. I buy my spices in bulk (way cheaper!). Way easier to find the spice I want than having to root around lots of spice bottles that get knocked over. Nicely labeled, easy to read, the one I want can always be spun to the front.

It's extra fun because my dog is called Bruno. He's a big black german shepard. I laughed too much at that.

I have to agree having your apothecary of spices in order is satisfying...I just got small jars and labels not a spice ufo

Ooh the rolled ice cream is cool. I would probably use it 3 times and then forget about it haha

Ben pretty much echoed my exact thoughts on the lunchbox; great concept, I'd personally buy it for about $25, but since everything's wildly overpriced these days, I'm guessing it's closer to $60.

I think the only reason to get any kind of spice rack is if you buy spices from the bulk section so they come in little bags rather than containers

I love when I see a gadget on here and on Barry Lewis and get different opinions on it. It's fab.

If my kids were still little, I'd totally go for that ice cream thing, it looks like a blast to do.

I recently redid my spice shelf (which was a hodgepodge of random containers before, some more airtight than others) and for the _briefest_ of moments considered that very KitchenArt unit. With how much I eyeball sprinkle spices, and how that thing _looks_ plasticky, I went with a nice set of square 4 fl. oz. (≈120mL) spice jars on a rack/two-level shelf instead, with lids labelled-much less fiddly, easy to do an eyeball sprinkle, looks super clean and fits nicely in a space-constrained kitchen.
