How Many Apple Dishes Can a Chef Make in Just 30 Minutes?!

[@toni_go96]

Ben caramelizing the tart for the sexies and then cooking up the cauliflower fritters during the sexies is the most Ben thing to do. I love this... This was pass it on Ben, but with a plan and 0 normals to screw it up for him. He did so well.

[@mslizwood]

"Technically for sexies it needed a blowtorch" is a phrase I need on a t-shirt.

[@maypling]

these one-ingredient sponsorships (grana padano, apples, etc.) have been pretty fun ♥

[@TheVampireSantiago]

Easy to forget when they're being silly but it's nice to see moments where you can see just how good Ben actually is at this stuff

[@thirteendigital341]

I know we see Kush go into his pro chef zone quite often but seeing this from Ben brought a smile to my face, he's still got it ;)

[@HFC786]

I challenge Ben and kush to make 100 potato dishes in 100 minutes 50 each is fine too

[@lukewoodheadinit]

Potato Centurion!

[@AndersEinarHilden]

Poppy as a judge or benchmark?

[@chrisbm123]

I second this idea

[@NemetFox]

I feel like Poppy would approve

[@self.construction.day1]

100 baked potatoes or 100 potatoes worth of mash? (you never said they had to be different dishes xD)

[@colourrain1221]

Ben has absolutely outdone himself here. Would love to see more of this format with all sorts of ingredients - endless possibilities for us and ad opportunities for Sorted!

[@melindacohea127]

As an art teacher I know how stinking difficult it is to demonstrate something with your hands and verbally instruct at the same time. A (bay) Laurel crown to you, Ben!!

[@charleneclaassen]

THIS is why I love watching Ben in action. I could watch this again. Thank you everybody. This video was fire.

[@maypling]

any of them in their element makes for the best videos!

[@_varuag]

I love how even after all these years, Ben leaves Mike and Barry (and us) in absolute awe! Such a great video!

[@oLynxXo]

This reminded me how akilled Ben is. There is a lot of hype around Kush and his mental ideas, but Ben is also very creative and an awesome teacher. Wouldn't want to replace one for the other.

[@lantami1199]

@@oLynxXo Yeah, both Kush's artistic chaos and Ben's controlled professionalism are amazing to watch in their own rights

[@treesnl]

Every one of those dishes looked amazing. Even more amazing was watching Ben just keep producing plate after plate as the minutes ticked on. Kudos!

[@swissfoodie3542]

Wow, Ben is really on fire in this video ! Really great !

[@SortedFood]

We agree! He loves a logistical challenge

[@msfoodiediva]

​@SortedFood luv this video. As someone who has had allergy reaction to granny Smith apples, is it possible to do one using pumpkin or cherries? I would luv different ways to utilize pumpkin or canned pumpkin as well as cherries

[@architbarve2489]

Someone to Barry : "So how would you describe your job ?" Barry : "I basically eat restaurant quality dishes on a everyday basis. "

[@Ardokaath]

And he makes them as well! Sometimes, at least. 😂

[@mineebhasin1214]

Wow! Ben is awesome and so talented. He makes it look so easy . He keeps it with few ingredients and comes out so balanced. I need recipes for those dishes. Thank you Ben for this treat and thank you Mike and Barry for supporting Ben so honestly. I love the genuine awe on the normals faces. My eyes were fixed on the ingredients Ben was using. Love all of it. Happy Holidays to all the team and my community here online for being a loving family. Be the light you are ! 😇🙏💖

[@giraffesinc.2193]

Now THIS is the perfect kind of episode! A Masterclass!

[@Mike-rx3mn]

Ben proves once again why he is the head of the kitchen and what a great chef can do with 30 minutes, Great Job, Big thumbs up.

[@bluesilvahalo3576]

Wow Ebbers in his element! that was fast but controlled and everything looked fantastic, love to see more videos like that with other ingredients 👍

[@user-fn1nt1su5m]

I love ADs like these!!!!

[@SortedFood]

Being challenged and all learning 🙌

[@TheScrumptiousSpoon]

Who knew apples could be this versatile? From scallops to Appletinis, it’s a whirlwind of flavors that might just change how you see this humble fruit. 🍎✨

[@ashleyg6365]

"That goes into an oven and we hope for the best" - so relatable 😂

[@zoemetro9824]

I actually had to clap out load when Ebbers finished. WELL DONE.

[@LoyleWarlock]

“When the blood finally went back to his head” Bloody hell I dread to think where it went 😂

[@jstefa2]

liver.... i hope...

[@SortedFood]

He does LOVE apples 🤣

[@ericconrad8854]

expensed one extra girthy apple corer.

[@thaisstone5192]

Well, Elliot comes up with something dirty once again.

[@flii87]

Cosmic Crisp and Pink Lady's are my favorite apples right now. Love seeing all the ways you can use apples!! I've been dying for more fruit recipes so this video is so perfect!!!

[@partingofways]

My two favs as well right now. i cant speak for pink ladys but i know cosmics wrok GREAT for cooking/baking and eating. I had just recently been using a bag of them to practice making apple stuff earlier this week. This video was crazy timing for me xD

[@xExoticCreations]

I would love for this to become a regular or sponsored series with other fruits, veggies, etc. It opens up a world of new video ideas for you all and it's great for us home cooks looking to learn more recipes and just appreciate the foods we have in new ways.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

On the ninth day of Sortedmas, my true love gave to me: 1 Passy Aggers Chef and 8 types of Apple dishes. (My favourite kind is apple slices in melted chocolate buttons) An apple a day keeps the doctor away and watching this video keeps them further away.

[@bea6987]

Loved this, what a great video! Would love for this to become a little series! Also this is the kind of ad I'd happily watch, not just testing a product and promoting it, but taking it up a notch and actually cooking great food and teaching us something in the most fun way if that makes sense)

[@tattyuk75]

Pink Lady apples are my absolute favourite variety. Perfectly crisp, sweet and juicy and I don’t know if I’ve made this up because they’re pink, but I also get a slight raspberry taste too which I adore. They’re so refreshing when chilled a bit and feel indulgent cut into wedges in a bowl rather than as a whole piece of fruit. I’ve always wanted to try the US apple butter too with pancakes.

[@WarriorHeart2024]

We have them here, and you are correct, there is a bit of berry in the taste while chewing and just after. I will bet they'd make awesome apple juice for straight drinking or to be used in a cocktail...apple bellini, maybe?

[@llamafromspace]

This is a really great way to do an ad. Well done Ebbers I'm so impressed that you could keep track of all of that and talk about each apple

[@RedElectric3]

The lighting in your shots is so much better now, I dig it

[@alerx87]

Agreed, the purple was a bit much when they first moved. The natural lighting looks better now. Original new studio lighting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6mtlYd9lLueZqMsi=Nq_N-Qd9ZBrOk_vd&t=129 Current video lighting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e522hIOBrrF6qposi=x1JMV2ZxTpacqLya&t=1037

[@joshp8535]

Up front i like it a lot. The background is still too much.

[@toni_go96]

I love Ben unleashed as well!

[@WarriorHeart2024]

AMAZING AWESOME APPLE DISHES! That was a video I will have to go back to and take notes. Brilliant wor.k, Ben! Looked delicious and I will wager that the whole studio smelled heavenly. I got a bit antsy and started saying loudly, (yeah, like he could hear me....but cheering) don't forget the tart, don't forget the tart... He was moving so fast I couldn't keep up. But yes, I am going back to it and taking notes. Just wonderful!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@danniantagonist]

Seeing Ben so masterfully in his element.... Beautiful work!

[@adelebasson]

This was incredible! Love Ben so much!!! ❤

[@WolfHealr]

Absolutely enjoyed this video, hope to see it as a series - videos focused on a particular ingredient. Timed or not, I'll definitely watch. Applesauce in a crockpot is a monthly thing for me - peel and cube (2 kg or so), slow cooker on high for 4 hours - maybe extra water if the apples are not juicy, add cinnamon/sugar to taste. Mash it up, and store in the fridge. Low effort and delicious. Also, toss the leftover apple peels in a bowl with spices - I do cinnamon, maybe sugar, then spread out on a tray and dehydrate/cook in oven at lowest heat until dry. Great snack or as a garnish - I like to crumble some on my applesauce. I just got a spice grinder, and I want to try grinding some up and using it in a shaker as garnish - maybe over a drink, on ham, etc.

[@curtismmichaels]

It's always fun watching Ben take off in the kitchen. He trusts himself, and well he should! BTW, just made boiled cider, and it is amazing!

[@it-s-me-mohit]

This is madness absolute madness. Great job Ben 👍👍

[@NielsPinborg]

Your ability to entertain and educate while allowing your unique relationships to warm all of us watching is simply unique.

[@carolynholt1461]

Ben doesn't get enough credit. He is amazing. Bravo Chef!!!!

[@zeideerskine3462]

Bratapfel sweet, Cox Orange stuffed with cinnamon marzipan and rum raisins. Bratapfel savory, Macintosh stuffed with sauerkraut and bacon. Both baked at 180° C for 20 minutes. Sweet Bratapfel goes well with brioche vanilla French toast fingers and a highly aromatic tea like Yorkshire jam and toast. The savory version goes well with potato onion pancakes and a Köstrizer (Krusovice) beer.

[@jaylou71]

WOW. Well done Ben for doing so much with the "lunch box staple" apple in such a short time. Amazing. Best video of the year for me ❤❤❤

[@jecoffey]

Summary sheets are a superb idea! For apples, for potatoes, etc…

[@DarkSeraph01]

Yes! And seasonal veg charts! These would be great additions to Sidekick as well!

[@ButyoucancallmeKat]

I love seeing Ben in his element! We need more of these! Kush gets to be Unleashed in the kitchen! What happens when you just leave Ben alone with fresh food and a stove???

[@madcappiktures]

Question straight off the bat when Ben threw the apple peel away. Tips and ideas for scraps? Infuse them in vodka? Julienne and toss in a sugar syrup and let cool then toss in more sugar and cinnamon?

[@SortedFood]

Both of those work well... as does blending with other ingredients to make fruit leather. Or simply composting.

[@Erin_Wilson_Studios]

Dehydrated and crushed into powder, fermented into cider, a little longer into vinegar.

[@Kangstor]

I think Ben would use them as fertilizer

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Ben making as many as dishes as he can is always a delight because it’s so dynamic yet never rushed. 4:45 Flashbacks to Gino D’Acampo on ‘This Morning’ tripping over the word ‘Sheet’.

[@anonymeseichhornchen3263]

watching Ben cook is absolutely amazing!!

[@drinkbooks]

*starts humming the intro to Under Pressure* I needed this video today. My brain is applesauce.

[@SortedFood]

What a delicious brain!🧠 🤣

[@drinkbooks]

​@@SortedFood Delicious but mushy, that's me. 😂

[@ragnaice]

Maaan I love watching Ben work 🤩

[@karengutta6196]

I haven't learned this much on one video in a long time. So many great ideas. Will try all. Just WoW! Thank you!

[@waywardsisters918]

Wow, Ben is at his best, showing his fantastic skill in the kitchen.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Technical Term of the Day: ‘Apple Paralysis’ Quote of the Day: “After twenty, he’s sweaty.”

[@JOBdOut]

This vid feels like a throwback to the days when Ben was trying to teach the normals. It was creative, it wasnt snobby or pretentious or a showoff of some exotic meal experienced on a vacation the average viewer can't afford using ingredients the average viewer cant find, and the lack of studio audience laughter was greatly welcomed. Well done for revisiting your roots.

[@funnybeetle28]

Can literally do an apple a day with so much variety, sometimes in the all fun we forget how talented Ben is ❤

[@Illjustbefamous]

This format is excellent and I’m sure it’s so much work. Kush should do it, and he’s not allowed to use a blender/food processor :P

[@jamesmorse6258]

Banging video, love seeing the chefs unleashed. Hope we get an Ebbers Christmas Day meal video like we had for Kush.

[@Bloodlustian]

12:41 Find someone who looks at you the way Barry looks at that vinaigrette.

[@cathbakes130]

Would love to see this done again but with British apples. We’ve got so many amazing varieties

[@mimmikyute]

when ben said golden delicious.... the sweetest apple I've ever had in my life and I always cherished them growing up.

[@erikakrause3044]

Ben do you find yourself narrating your cooking at home? You’ve always been so good at keeping up the commentary!

[@ryansxtn313]

That was fun to watch.

[@KlaximumSkroeft]

You outclassed yourself, chef!

[@leosakame9947]

As someone with an Apple allergy (which is very uncommon) this video was quite funny to pop up on my feed. Mine is a bit of an obscure allergy, but I would love to see a video on alternative ingredients for common recipes I'd love to see something you wouldn't think could work without the key ingredients. For example a satay sauce but without peanuts.

[@jeremybourne7721]

Impressive. Straight away I thought get some apples stewing you can make 3/4 dishes from that but he didn't go down that route. Really enjoyed this

[@matthewthornhill2920]

I put small diced apple and red pepper in my tuna pasta and it’s so good

[@Matsuna13]

What a brilliant idea! I really like this and Ben did more than we expected with apples. I never thought apple is versatile.

[@crisisgear]

I remember putting an apple in the microwave when I was about 18 months-2 years old, as I'd seen my mum do it with potatoes. Mum came running down after smelling apple, nothing to worry about I'd pierced it as well 😋

[@TraceyOfficial]

i just gave Ben a standing ovation in my kitchen, well done

[@dippegalant]

We have a special dish here in Denmark, which is pork breast/brisket/stripy bacon cooked with sweet apples (Æbleflæsk) and often onions as well. I believe it's also rather common to use apples with pork in other combinations, so I was a bit surprised that none of Ben's dishes had pork in them, but that might have been a time thing for this format.

[@jannikeakersten4677]

A tip to reduce waste even more is to use up the leftovers from the juicer. I usually cook it down into apple sauce and use brandy to loosen it up to compensate for the juice thats been separated our. It is also nice to use in baking but the appel sauce is a real favourite.

[@frenchfriar]

And I avoid buying apples, because I can't seem to finish them off before they go bad, and I really don't want apples in every dish I make. Still, this gives me ideas of how to use a lot of apples at once, in very diverse dishes, which lessens that issue. And making a chutney, dressing, or cake is a way to use up apples and still freeze the cake to serve later, or jar the dressing or chutney for later use. Juicing is a great idea for using up those odds and ends of apples, too, but I don't have a juicer anymore. Very thought provoking episode, guys, and watching Ben come up with 11 different uses of apples was really fun to watch, too.

[@richbuilds_com]

That was a Masterclass

[@kadek9er]

This feels like it’d be a really fun series! Maybe we could get Poppy back in to do this same idea with potatoes!

[@hollivybez]

I was thinking the same thing - I may actually try to make the chutney to go on an apple/cheese sandwich for tea 🍵

[@goodaldred402]

As a person with Oral Allergy Syndrome who can't eat raw apples I always love seeing more ways to cook them!

[@trevorgreen7324]

Ben has always been amazing. But that was different class. That was a master class at light speed. Well done my son.

[@tammywilson985]

Great segment. I live close to an apple orchard and they publish the dates they expect certain varieties. This gives me lots of ideas.

[@margowsky]

I eat an apple everyday!! This was a wonderful video. I love when Ben shifts into Action Ben mode. I would love to try them all but I bet the cauliflower in the apple chutney would be my 2nd favorite, just below the apple tart! Yum. Oh wait. The apples w/the sausage! Not to mention the scallop dish. So.... it's.... D. All of the Above.

[@LLKJH2501]

I would love to see a similar format video format as a contest between Ben and Kush. Each chef get a video to do as many dishes with ingredients at the end of each a normal rates each dish on 1-10 on taste and presentation. Be fun to see how much each chef focuses on quantity vs quality to get point in the time allotted.

[@TraceyOfficial]

Kush is Kool but let's give it up to the OG Chef Unleashed!!!! Well Done Ben, your multi-tasking was a Masterclass to behold.

[@WokeUpScreaming]

I'm pretty sure we all forgot about the tart haha. Absolute master class there Ben!

[@hollydavies6349]

Love this format! Could definitely do it with a ton of ingredients

[@jemmaj2919]

ben is impressive, I've been into cooking with apples, but usually on the sweet side, nice to see it in the non-sweet dishes

[@Vera-n7l2c]

11 dishes and he switched the hob of! Utterly amazing performance!

[@Juri121]

I learned so much about different types of apples in this one video than I have in my entire life

[@ellawasincredible]

This has made me think of the Korean show culinary class wars semi final and it would be awesome to see you recreate some of those tasks!! I think the semifinal task would be a great head to head to head for the normals

[@aimeehamby828]

Fun fact: There are more than 7500 different kinds of apples cultivated. Start using them more 🍎🍏

[@Ehhnji]

Can we see Ebbers on a cooking show one day? I feel like he would do so well in a Masterchef / Iron Chef environment and that would create so much more publicity for the channel too

[@BobaPhettamine]

he was already on tv doubt he would do it again lol when he has a successful KZbin channel

[@stephaniebunn4065]

I love watching Ben just GO for it.

[@magsstewart5488]

This was fun! Mapperton down south produces many varieties of apples on the estate.

[@04nimmot]

I'm not generally a fan of Granny Smith because its so tart, but in a savoury dish is a great idea, I'll definitely be trying that

[@marthawilson444]

My mother-in-law gave me a recipe for ham and apple pie with a cheese biscuit crust. A family favorite!

[@flii87]

7:08 Can always count on Sorted to help with food waste! What a brilliant idea

[@Drake844221]

I honestly absolutely love apples. Maybe some of it is being an October kid, but a lot of it is growing up in an area that had some lovely local apples. Particularly the Fuji variety, which is one of my go-to apples to this day. These are definitely recipes that I'll be giving a go!

[@h7opolo]

as a chef and apple lover, i approve of these recipes and methods. well done conventionally grown apples are contaminated with pesticides (one of the "dirty dozen produce items"), so be sure to wash well or buy organic instead to be extra safe.

[@SortedFood]

Did you have a fav?

[@h7opolo]

@@SortedFood being vegetarian, your apple-carrot sheet cake is my jam.

[@SinisterMD]

With the speed at the end it reminds me very much of the spasticity you see with Gordon Ramsay. Well done Ben!!

[@P3ppar]

6:07 "You know the red ones are gonna be a lit bit sharper" For me it's the other way around. The greener, the sharper and more tart an apple is to me.

[@fabe61]

That’s why Ben said (very politely) that there is no such rule. Apples are too diverse for a single point to point colour scale like that

[@LiqdPT]

Rigyt, growing up in my household green was granny Smith and red was usually Macintosh. So green was definitely sharper.

[@Tvianne]

Amazing job, Ben! I'm a Fuji person (and similar): I like them juicy, crunchy, with a coarse pulp, sweet, aromatic and a bit tart.

[@zomerkoninkjes]

Great format! I would love to see this with other foods (sponsored or not! Though I wish you all the sponsors in the world!!)

[@Vaigne_]

I would pay $45 USD for that Mackerel dish and wouldn't have a second thought, on looks ALONE why did that look SO GOOD?!!?

[@Thebookrat]

Honestly, I get that you only did this because it was sponsored, but having a series where each episode is dedicated to a single ingredient, where you can get into the nuances of varieties / cooking applications, and showcase a wider variety of ideas would be great. Really neat premise that could help familiarize people with ingredients, and cut down on waste.

[@valap2]

Well done! From the home of the Golden Delicious apple.🍏🍏🍏 And I struggle to get one meal done when I get home from work.

[@marnierwin600]

Office Breakfast: core out a Honeycrisp Apple, pour some quick oatmeal into the hole, add a tiny lump of butter, a pinch of salt, and office microwave in a big mug until just before the apple collapses.

[@mslizwood]

I love this man 🤣 He's a try hard for himself!
