Would love to see a "week in the life of sorted" series or at least a video. See all the behind the scenes stuff, the ideas from conception, the shopping for gadgets and ingredients, the 'business' type stuff! See what the rest of the team do on a daily basis and the while mechanics of a successful, entertaining and long-running food KZbin channel - a KZbin food channel wasn't even really a thing when you guys started!

Oh this is a great idea. I'd love to see a day in the kitchen doing the prep and stuff.

[@perspectivelee]

yes would love! i love sorted whatever they do but i feel like the biggest change is that it’s more high production which takes away a little of the banter-y vibes we got from the older sorted if that makes sense, like the bloopers videos were my favourite! having a bts video would be so great as the sorted we know now is kinda contained just to these 2 dimensions - the main kitchen and the guys to the side. a big reason why i love sorted over food channels is the chemistry between the guys which gets really showcased in the videos where they eat around london as we see less of their “personas” if that makes sense - a behind the scenes would be so fantastic

Did you get it, and if so - how was it?

[@chrheca]

I got one and had the worst experience ever. The blade was full, the spring wasn't as strong and after trying to apply a bit more pressure, the whole thing came apart. The feet are simply stuck in place and the whole thing is assemble with plastic snaps, so not the most sturdy thing

[@KyteM]

The veggie slicer is so much more safe than a regular mandolin it's unreal. That alone would make it worth it IMO.

[@derdork3233]

Yea i have like a mandoline/plunge slicer thingy and its meh. Wanted to make potato slices and cut my thumb really deep.

[@chrheca]

I bought one, it came with a full blade out of the box and wouldn't even slice a tomato. I tried forcing it a bit more and the whole thing unmounted in my hands. Wanted to buy one for years, and was very disappointed

[@randallcraft4071]

I have a safety mandolin that's similar to this and I love it, it's just a cheap one that has 3 card you slide in instead of this dial they have on this guy. I love it, but it is disappointing that it doesn't have the versatility this one has.

[@alphazero924]

That's the main thing I was thinking that whole time because I accidentally cut the tip of my middle finger off about a month and a half back while making potato chips. I have a cut-proof glove for it now, but this seems way safer and it seems to do just as good a job.

[@Riddell-Ide_Farm]

The Once for All Vegetable Slicer is going to be a HUGE help for my hubby in the kitchen. He has rheumatoid arthritis, so he's not very dextrous with his hands making him clumsy at slicing; and using a regular mandoline is dangerous for him. This is definitely going on my "I have to buy this on payday" list!

[@samw5924]

yeah those kinds of gadgets are excellent for people with disabilities or other dexterity issues and it's great that they show them here and that some products are good enough that they can be sold to the general market rather than aimed at a specific niche which would make them more expensive.

[@qienna6677]

I wonder how easy it is to wash, I'd be keen for one as I have tremors that make fancy knifework dangerous.

[@Whiskypapa]

Surprised they didn’t mention that. They are usually very good at thinking about how a gadget might not be meant for the general public, but instead can be a great tool for people with dexterity issues. So instead of ripping on a gadget because it’s useless to them, they try to put themselves in other peoples shoes. Might be cause they actually saw many uses for it for themselves aswell, that they didn’t bring it up.

[@christinal408]

I bought one for my kids to use when they help me in the kitchen. It is amazing and we use it quite regularly. The fault with this that it can be a bit of a pain to clean, but as long as you hit it with a sprayer as soon as you are done with it its not to bad.

[@MtnNerd]

I recommend buying a Cuisinart food processor with the slicer disc. Much smaller, does more things, and the motor does all the work!

Ben's look at Jamie, trying to prepare a dirty joke when Jamie starts with "You've got three different knobs". 😂😂 But for once, he just keeps it in his mind.

[@MrMartinSchou]

Here's an idea for a video (or four): Give the normals a budget (maybe three different levels) to buy what's needed for a kitchen (think people moving out for the first time) and set them cooking challenges they must complete using only the equipment they bought (plus the oven, stove, fridge and freezer). Then finish off with Ben doing the same thing with those budgets and compare the differences.

[@laartje24]

I can really see Ben get back with one thing like a fancy chefs knife and then actually make it work in a way we normals can't. But sounds interesting, I am up.

[@dan7160]

I really love this idea!

[@CircleThinker]

ooh that's a really fun idea!

[@maiagrebr]

[@chrisengland3798]

I'd like this.

[@Karma-qt4ji]

I have been making my own sushi for about 20 years now and still get the occasional wonky roll, but I would still prefer something that is not quite aesthetically correct than the homogeneous wet ricy pulp that seems to come out of most sushi "guns". They just seem to lose all texture and become far too much like porridge. Honestly, making proper sushi is not all that difficult and far more fun, especially with friends.

[@Silentgrace11]

I enjoy the concept of sushi guns for the fun of it, but for the most part I definitely would much rather roll my own

[@randomtology]

Agreed. I think mastering sushi rolls so they look restaurant quality is tricky, but knowing how to make a decent enough one to eat at home is hardly that difficult - so the whole sushi gun feels like a bit of an unnecessary rip off. Especially when you can get a decent sushi mat for less than $10 while this is almost three times the price.

[@TessaOswin]

I’ve only make sushi once with a “mat” made of a tea towel wrapping in cling film and it work brilliantly, it was a touch different to get the rolls tight but seemed much better than make it that incredibly soggy.

[@Lilian040210]

I'm walking disaster on legs and even I managed to make nice looking rolls on my first try😂 It's not hard at all. A lot of instructions to follow, but nothing difficult or complicated. The only wonky happens when I'm out of patience and the rice portions start to vary so it ends up too much and struggles to stick😅 And the ends which I just chop off and destroy all the evidence 😛 These devices look a lot more clumsy and the result is just... bad.

[@stefan514]

Soaking something in water and using it to process food afterwards is a terrible concept in general. This will introduce water into everything and if there is something you don't want in your perfectly cooked and carefully treated sushi rice... It is water ^^

[@Swordandsteel]

Honestly, the amount of times the boys have been in a video and just expressed how much they love their job, really just warms my heart. I’m so glad that they can be living the dream as well as revolutionize how we cook. There’s just nothing else like iy

[@nikiichan]

The best part about samosa for me is the dough at the top of the triangle and the base where its folded over itself. It doesn't matter how good the filling is the satisfying part for me is always the crunchy shell so this machine basically takes that away :/ I am going to try baking mine now though based on Kushs mum method :o

[@RoLaarr]

i wonder if its possible to put two sheets of pastry down? on one side at least, like double it up a bit?

[@noodlelynoodle.]

For me the oilyness of them being deep fried is important and yeah that folded over layer is important but pretty much the oilier the better the crisp on it is

[@beth12svist]

Kush's mom's method sounds genius for those of us who would like to try samosas but have to avoid fried food for health reasons. Basically... glad to hear that's an actual option that someone more familiar with the food genuinely reaches for!

[@LasermanSteam]

I have seen the cutter before in another video where it gets reviewed on its usability and design (among other features) and both then and now it looked to me like an absolute lifesaver for people with physical disabilities.

[@toxicginger9936]

It is. And it's safe for me to let my 5 year old son help me slice things. It's wonderful.

[@westzed23]

This is what I thought. Easy for those with disabilities.

[@jenna6149]

I had my mandolin before my disability got bad and I liked it a lot. Now as things have progressed it is an absolute life saver. Everything from celery and onions to potatoes and aubergine and as long as you use the guard safe as the day is long. I am sure those few add on features this one had with the foot holding the pressure would make it even better!

@@jenna6149 this is something we will get then. Thank you for your information. My sister has arthritis in her fingers, and she has always loved to cook. Somethings she just can't do anymore, but I think this will help her to have the ability to do more. Thanks again. 🙂🍲❤

[@laartje24]

It depends, does the blade stay sharp? And if not can it be changed out. I have several disabilities and tried several mandolin designs now (but not this one) and it mostly comes down to how much muscle power and precise movement it needs. And most have blades that dull very quickly and can't be changed out making you have to use more power that I don't have. Also for this one in specific, it spraying the small pieces of veggies everywhere is definitely not gonna help with my disabilities, it needs a better reservoir.

there’s special samosa sheets we use in the Middle East where you fold your samosas into that triangular shape. Switz is the brand we used growing up. That’s what I think that machine is for, I think you get a similar result with the filo pastry just with fewer layers

[@richidraykat]

The all purpose vegetable slicer is now on the way to mine. It looks perfect for me. I have arthritis and struggle with using knives sometimes so I'm so Happy youve done a review on it. Thanks guys.

[@kaito8273]

theoretically you could use a watered down version of the vinegar mix you normally put into the sushi rice and instead of dunking the whole thing in the water you could brush the insides with the mix so it’ll be less wet…maybe? im not sure if it’s practical and obviously it’s probably not the best idea to season the rice beforehand but yeah something to think about i guess

[@SortedFood]

Now this is a fantastic idea! We would need to experiment a bit more to see if this would work.

Without having to get out a whole food processor.

[@brewilde]

I have it too and totally agree! I mostly use it for when I'm slicing things like sweet potato and it needs to be more precise than I can get on my own. I wanted to add that it's also super easy to clean and I don't ever feel like my fingers are in danger like with some other choppers

My roommate bought that same mandoline recently and it is legitimately good. We love it cause well, it works well and your hands get nowhere near the sharp bits which I’m sure everyone can agree that makes using one nerve wracking.

[@laurentdebuyst3941]

This was pre-bought filo pastry, which they also seemed to say isn't quite the same as "actual" samosa pastry. So a bit of a worst-case scenario demonstration, if you will. If you were making your own dough, you'd just have to roll it out into an almost-circular shape.

[@Tensen01]

If you look at the picture that the machine itself shows they used smaller pieces kind of shingled all over the machine, meaning there'd be very little waste.

[@sirBrouwer]

Philips keeps the price low as they will get a cut for all the kegs you will be able to buy. Here in the Netherlands there are always a row of like 4 or 5 (if not more) beers of different brands selling kegs for the draft.

[@davidf760]

Disagree, seems quite steep for a machine that doesn't even seem to use co2 (i.e. As you pour beers, oxygen will replace the beer in the keg and it will start oxidizing which is not good, especially for IPAs, instead of replacing it by co2 which would keep it fresh for longer)

[@JasperJanssen]

@@davidf760 it’s basically a Bag In Box system. The beer isn’t replaced by air, it’s replaced by nothing as the bag inside the keg gets smaller.

[@Jaqen-HGhar]

I mean you can buy an actual keg system that sits in a mini fridge (and comes with it) for that price so it wouldn't make any sense for them to charge that much. I mean at least you could the last time I checked.

It would really depend on the kegs it uses. Most commercial kegs can’t be filled by the average home brewer.

I have arthritis in my hands. When I chop veggies I end up in pain. I chop veg for meal prep, pasties, soups etc on the day I get my veg. I end up in pain for days. This is better than any other type of chopping tool I've seen. Thanks for the honest review.

Got too excited for the next episode that I’ve been watching Sorted Food for the last hour 😅

[@SortedFood]

Amazing 😎

[@Anna-uh3jq]

Just for the sounds, that sushi maker is a definite no for me. 😂

[@SortedFood]

Hahaha love this comment.

[@Anna-uh3jq]

@@SortedFood haha. Glad you like it.

[@Khamis1203]

The beer one for sure might be my favorite gadget ever lol!

[@SyntheticFuture]

One thing to add to the Perfect Draft is the power draw as it is a mini-fridge. That being said if you got the money to spend and regularly have some friends over it would be a nice edition to your parties.

[@TheTekknician]

Seriously hope you guys will do an episode on trying to elevate our Dutch "kroketten", there are sooooo many types available!

[@Lordfischman]

Good idea, I fell in love with the febo Kroketten when I was in Amsterdam for " academic" reasons, couldn't create them at home. would love to see them in dutch clogs cooking them

[@Getpojke]

I know it's a bit early in the year for it but I'd like to see their take on the Dutch tradition of 'Gourmetten'.

[@TheTekknician]

@@Lordfischman Ha! Indeed :) The nice thing is that there are veal, goulash, vegan, shrimp, chicken kroketten and what have you. I'd love to see Sorted's take :) Perhaps an "International Badge"-kind of deal?

[@laartje24]

I decided to make my own kaassoufflés a l while back. Best decision ever. They taste so much better with a proper amount of halfway decent cheese (Make sure you don't overfill and seal them properly though, if they burst open the oil starts boiling for a bit). Would love to see what they can do with kroketten.

[@ValeTam]

I would love to see a samosa machine but for empanadas! I mean, sure, you can whack them in the oven, but this seems fast and efficient!

[@-B.H.]

That rice... was one step away from a congee. Also Mike/Jamie with the ending! Perfect.

[@ritaryan3298]

The safety mandolin was great for me after I suffered from a stroke. It also allowed me to still teach my granddaughter to cook. I was not able to handle a knife properly, and I was afraid that I would no longer be able to teach her how to grow her love to create food. She was 6 at the time, and she had been cooking in the kitchen with me since she was 2. She is 8. Now, it's been 2 yrs since my stroke, and we now still cook, but we work on discovering how to cook safely after a stroke. My granddaughter still loves the time we spend cooking, and now her uncle helps teach her the fine skills I can not.

[@EdinMike]

The Samosa machine has promise, I can see me experimenting with it to get it just right ! Also I’m surprised none of the boys have ever had a bar job, pulling through pints and changing/line cleaning kegs is such a chore on a Tuesday morning. Which is when I tended to do it when I managed bars.

[@coffeejn]

The sushi maker... the competition already had something better on the market with the sushi bazooka. No need to soak in water, nor have to worry about the hinge or glue used in the bamboo "wood".

[@jasons2566]

the sushi press feels to me like its whole selling point is that it isn't plastic.

[@SternenLegion]

i love, as soon as he realises what jamie whats to do, there is absolutly no hesitation from mike to get into position at the end xD

[@advent1688]

I haven’t watched SORTED in a few months… and boy did I forget how much FUN SORTED is! YAY!

[@metatoto]

Traditionally you wrap the samosa dough into a cone like shape, then you stuff it with a filling of your choice but not all the way through, and then fold over the excess dough in the bottom to get the shape. Then it's deep fried, but I've had baked ones as well, although it's not commonly sold on the streets like that. But I've never seen or heard of the method of wrapping it like Mike said. Maybe it's tradition at her home or region.

[@atiyyahmakada9292]

In south africa in the indian communities, the fold over and over is how we do it. We make the cone in our hand, fill and then fold and the end use a paste and stick the end. Our samoosa dough is too delicate to press, it gets dry and crumbly very quickly. I wonder how the 2 differ

[@Emma-td8bb]

@@atiyyahmakada9292 yes! I am also South African and this is how I was taught to make them😄

[@BizarroIsNo123]

Use the samosa grill to try and make other things such as waffles or pressed sandwiches.

[@DuckieT]

Like a giant quesadilla maker.

[@BizarroIsNo123]

@@DuckieT Exactly! I need to see that it can be used for something other then the 1 thing. Pizza bites!

[@nikkiewhite476]

I own that veggie slicer! It is wonderful when I need to do bulk slicing like cucumber for homemade pickles or potatoes for scalloped potatoes. The best thing is it is safe! You have to deliberately stick your fingers inside the machine to have contact with the blade. I have tried a number of mandolins over the years and this is the only one that hasn't cut me.

[@eleanorpr328]

realllyyyyyyyy appreciate the kickback from your about the man cave thing!! 'any person cave, human cave'..so good, and really glad you didnt let that slide :)

[@albertchilds4897]

The gadget I would love to have is the beer keg by far. The veggie slicer might get used if lots of veggies need sliced. Btw have you done a review on Air fryers having the guys guess which is cheapest to the high end fryers??

[@nadabatu4857]

Mandolin seems cool! I have a hard time getting this kind of thing to stay still on the board. It also is a strange shape that seems difficult to clean and store… but maybe I’m just lazy 😬

[@MaZEEZaM]

A quality food processor can cut in a similar manner, much more easily with far easier clean-up but they cost far more. If your budget cannot afford a food processor then it seems to be a good budget alternative.

[@s0l0poly71]

I think it could be better with a long opening cover too. That one could make uniform strips but too short for fries. I think it should also be able to cut length wise.

[@toxicginger9936]

We own one of these... and love it.

[@katrinahays1776]

It has suctioning feet and folds pretty flat. It’s so much safer than a traditional mandolin, my 13 year olds use it easily

[@petrpatava9222]

Excelent, Pilsner Urquel glass, very nice to see this. Iam from Czech republic and ist veyz nice to see our beer in your show

[@reigngreyson4046]

Ebbers is like that friend you underestimate your friendship with, til your throwing a party, and found out they pre-chilled your keg in preparation, and have also prepared appetizers. You sir, have my respect!

[@uperscors]

I can absolutely see the Once For All being used in my kitchen. Considering all the people who have lost chunks of fingers to a Mandoline, I could also see it used in more professional style kitchens since it keeps your hand back from the blades.

[@Laura_Norda]

The mandolin looks like it could be useful. I don't like normal mandolins as I'm really clumsy and I would probably just lose my fingertips, but this one has all kinds of stuff in place that should avoid that 😃👍

[@ItsJustLisa]

I’m all about that mandolin! I have rheumatoid arthritis and my wrists don’t bend making certain knife skills very difficult. As for the beer tap, that sounds like a great holiday wish list item for your favorite beer aficionado.

[@Blcktear]

Mike at the end is honestly the best part of today 😆

[@marymaggotface1994]

Always love these videos!! Keep up the amazing work y'all!

[@sohamhegde2386]

The second product does not make samosas it seems. They looked like "triangle kachodi" or 'samosa kachodi" which is a semi popular Indian snack. Pretty cool!

[@sanram8675]

Yeah, and they Made a big mistake by using the wrong kind of dough.

[@meamjustme]

I bought a perfect draft second hand for €15. Only use it on bdays. Took it with us on a vacation with friends. Having 3 kids with us, the fridge was filled with baby food pretty fast. Having this standing on a table, with 3 degrees cold beer during a hot weekend was absolutely lovely.

[@ranicos]

I appreciate your guys’ appreciation of a good IPA. I know what I’m having Friday evening!

That Samosa filling make me want to have samosas now... Why do I keep watching sorted before I eat? It ends up making me soo hungry!

[@redsands1001]

Tasting history did a video about samosas yesterday and it feels like I really just need to buy or make some

[@cdh79]

we had a "perfect draft" in the office for a few years.. initially we used it a lot, but one needs to drink enough to empty the kegs regularly.. we were only a small team, so we eventually went back to bottles for our Friday 4 (or 3.. or 2) o'clock drinks.. they were just easier to store in the fridge, than keeping spare kegs cool, when they do run out (and people still want beer)

[@A_GdeA]

It would be really cool to see a video with Ben and the food team testing out the samosa machine like the ones you’ve done for the pizza oven and the bread machine, and so on

[@amberl653]

I’d love to see more experiments with the samosa maker! I wonder how this would work with proper wheat samosa dough and not the inauthentic/cheat/hack/sub-par disappointment that is filo pastry. Also I wonder how well this machine would work for things like baklava and some other pastry-enclosed food items.

[@em84c]

Yea I hate when you order samosas and they end up being made with filo! The dough is my favourite part of a samosa

[@vinaypatel4084]

Honestly, the samosa machine didn't seem that worth it to me but that's mainly because I can get some really good vegetarian samosas near me for 25p so £49 would just feel wasted on the machine not including the ingredients you'd need for it Edit: They're 35p per Samosa now Edit 2: 40p

[@williamaldred335]

So at what point do you deem those pre made ones not worth it

[@vinaypatel4084]

@@williamaldred335 Maybe about 50p per samosa. Tbh though I might still buy them if it went over that because I don't eat samosas that often. If I bought that machine I feel like I'd use it once and then never again. Plus the samosas in the video didn't look as tasty in comparison to the ones I can buy at my local Indian shop (granted I haven't tried them). How good it tastes is probably the most important factor to me anyway so I'd probably ask my mum to teach me how to make them first and see if it's worth it to try and make at home before I spend about £50.

As a very picky eater, I'd love to see you guys bring in a picky eater, and do a competition to see if they guys can make a few foods that normally wouldn't be palatable to that person to actually like it. This may mean doing something to cover up the flavor, change the texture, etc. And would be worthy of a badge.

I just re-watched this episode again, and I just remembered that I have the same one but from Starfrit. I paid it $19.99 at a local store in 2021. I forget I have it sometimes and I use a knife to cut 🤭. I am not a beer fanatic, but I would buy the beer machine for when I have guests. You don't need a fridge to make the beer cold, which is a fantastic feature.

Device 1- Good sushi: fluffy, airy rice just pressed together to hold shape. Sooshi: Wet, mashed and crushed rice tube.

[@stonkr]

The issues I have with the one for all mandolin is cutting larger items (eg potatoes & onions for Pan Haggerty) and cleaning the thing. I bought my simple basic mandalorian (sic) with interchangeable blades and large food tub for ease of cleaning foremost - no mouldy veg hiding inside. Also, the more moving parts, the more to go wrong.
