How To Make Your Food Taste Better!

[@joes0280]

I took Ben's tip about aging in this video and it really changed the taste of my food! I left my sandwich out in the sun for a few weeks and, wow, did it taste different. Although I have to be honest, I think I may have preferred the original sandwich rather than the aged one. I guess that's just my taste. Thanks anyway guys

[@anneceferron4595]

JoeS02 thanks, you made me laugh !

[@Greenfairy65]

Hilarious!

[@Habitt5253]

A friend of my grandmother taught me to add 1 or 2 anchovies to a tomato sauce to make it extra tasty. She's told me that this is her 'secret' ingredient that she's been adding to her sauces for over 50 years. Try it out, it really does make a huge difference.

[@SortedFood]

Yep... same principle as in the meatballs. :D

[@memelord4639]

6:05 watching this years later, knowing that barry is allergic to pineapple is making me worried and laugh out loud at the same time

[@werbnaright5012]

He's not allergic. He has an intolerance. They just play it up for laughs.

[@vaibhavguptawho]

This is THE MOST USEFUL video you guys have done in a while. Can you follow up on this with the spice series you mentioned in the Monkfish Skewers Big Night In episode?

[@vaibhavguptawho]

Also, favorite-d.

[@dlfendel2844]

PS. re pineapple and heat? If you take very fresh pineapple spears and DIP them in a plate of cracked black peppercorns and then throw 'em on the bbq, they are AMAZING--just like a "pepper steak" only pineapple! The combo of the bite of the black pepper and the carmelization of the sugar in the pineapple is superb. Try it!

[@kellyhyson4772]

I shall try this thing!

[@SunshineDownpour]

That sounds amazing, thanks for sharing! :D

[@hoodwynk1389]

These three fit the triangle: Sugar: Ben, because he's nice and puts up with them Acid: Jamie, because he keeps cutting through these challenges Barry: Salt, because he gets so salty when he doesn't win :D

[@Cynthiaaagghh]

I 1000% agree with you on seaweed/nori being a third condiment! I LOVE it and now I'm inspired to add it to more kinds of food!

[@nakaharaindria]

I found that seasoning is the hardest part when I'm trying to cook, and unless it's a really simple dish, I can't never really get it right. So thank you for this, lads!

[@jayviescas7703]

Your cooking show is the best! It's fun, informative, instructive and makes me want to be a better cook.

[@crazylazygirl123]

As an aspiring chef this is very helpful. Thank you! And Happy Father's Day to Jamie!

[@pinkponyofprey1965]

Umami? Isn't she married to Upapi?

[@braayan03]

She married udadi not upapi

[@fraochmataz]

I thought you were talking about some weird unknown anime and then I got the joke 😂😂👍

[@hannahconroy]

😂😉

[@monsebp3817]

Looooool

[@beefbroth6539]

That was so bad I actually laughed xD

[@hannahconroy]

I literally shared most of these seasoning tips with my family at lunch just now 😁

[@TamHuynh-xj6jn]

Chilli and salt work very well with fruits!! Mangoes, pineapples, watermelons, apples, plums and many tropical sour fruits!

[@juelsgarcia5406]

Seeing the pineapple made me happy. In Mexico we eat most if not all our fruit with chili, salt, and lemon. And with things like orange we just add the chili and salt. Also our candy is salty, tangy, and sweet all at once. Actually most of our snacks are that way. That combo is magical.

[@CupofMoh]

...So. Are we gonna talk about the "Thrid condiment"?

[@nubileyoungster6596]

I know, right?

[@kellyhyson4772]

I had to back up to make sure I'd actually seen that. 😁

[@SunshineDownpour]

I scrolled way too far to find this...

[@AspieAnswers]

Thanks for sharing your tips on some of these food items. Learnt a bit more now and will give me something to think about when I cook something

[@daneillealfred2828]

that spice on the pinapple is popular here in Tobago, we call it a chow, we also do it with underripe mangoes and cucumbers but we add garlic, salt, chodo beni and hot peppers

[@danichan913]

This fridge cam was very informative. Seasoning food is something I try to do well but sometimes I just fail horribly. Where are you, COTW? Freddy T, I agree with you on how Ben says salt...I could listen to him talk all day!

[@TheSlipperyOtter]

I made creamy tarragon chicken tonight. It had salt plus lemon rind. Twas divine.

[@sithyq3480]

Awesome Umami seasoning recipe: 1part dried Bonito flake, 2 part dried shitake, 2 part dried seaweed. I found this seasoning recipe on a podcast called, "The Splendid Table," about a year ago. I whipped it up in my coffee grinder, put it in an old spice shaker, and have never looked back! One of my favorite blends for meats and proteiney vedgies meals. It's perfect on mushrooms, beans, meats, and for when I get a little hap-hazard on over spicing. Y'all should give it a try!

[@aprildevies4031]

seaweed crumbled over popcorn is AMAZING!

[@mayaw1607]

This was uploaded on my birthday!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! Thanks guys

[@BrittBass]

The arm tangling in this video is hilarious.

[@wickiezulu]

Like the idea of grounded Seaweed being used as a condiment alongside salt and pepper.

[@kim-swan2305]

I love this kind of videos.. Thanks for filming it for us.

[@JessieeCar]

Interesting and educating!

[@SortedFood]

Educational + Entertaining = Edu-taining... is that a thing?

[@AnasHart]

In Srilanka we have chilli on pineapple on the beach but we also have It on mangoes. Chilli mangoes are amazing :D

[@harishkarumuri4749]

Done in India too. Tastes freaking amazing. Are the mangos ripened in Srilanka, cause they sell them with unripe mangos.

[@treehousebandit4567]

+Harish Karumuri You can get both, though I prefer the unripened 😋

[@AnasHart]

Harish Karumuri Yeah, do you guys have guava with chilli too?

[@harishkarumuri4749]

I've done it myself, but I don't know if I've seen it in India. Probably done tho.

[@AnasHart]

Harish Karumuri Do you live in India? Also, if you havent tried Jaffna Mangoes, you must! They're incredible. Im from the UK btw.

[@Oohhmygoat]

Crispy seaweed is the best!! With white rice and nothing else ♡

[@blah-rn6nb]

Can't believe y'all but a camera in your fridge. The determination is amazing😂. Keep up the good work!

[@moondrunken]

I finally tried Mexican food earlier. Never found any in Singapore. Finally there is a Mexican store near me. I love quesadillas so much.

[@collisionsc-7875]

Good for you, lah

[@theHoax100]

Where did u find a Mexican store!!!! -fellow Singaporean who has never tried Mexican food :(

[@moondrunken]

I just found it today! It just opened up at the basement of sun plaza at sembwang. Its at the north. It only has quesadillas, kebabs, burritos and burrito bowls. It's like subway for mexican/turkish food.

[@lefthanderdoesthings]

There's also a shop at star vista (guzman y gomez)! It's been there for a while but the shop's tinyyyyy and always full during dinnertime so I only managed to try it on my second time there.

[@takeapencil]

There's actually quite a few. There's one in Bali Lane: Piedra Negra

[@daniele.5163]

My eyes were glued on Ben the entire video - what an eye candy :)

[@jerwellsavella97]

I'm 17 and i really enjoyed cooking since i moved in my college dorm, this tutorial will help me to keep awake over night and end up failing my test tomorrow, atleast i learned how to season my food though

[@megafranker]

This! This is the video I've been waiting for forever. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@JoanieSimonMedia]

I always add parm to my meatballs. Also love to add Worcestershire like i did in a salad recipe recently on my channel. Love you guys!

[@MelanieGalima]

Loved this fridge cam haha

[@fluffy.grace1276]

Just a little question for Ben: How's Tyrone? He must be 8 now... You should do a father and son video as you are a amazing chef and single father! 😂😂❤️❤️

[@Mariaaaaaaaa213]

I do oatmeal (porridge) with brown sugar, salted butter, and milk.

[@LasseKroner]

THIS just saved my cooking today, used a very pungent cheese in a pasta dish and it tasted way too much of the acids, some salt AND sugar saved it, thx. Happy to be binging through sorted vids after finding your channel!

[@CookingwithJulia]

This was very helpful! Thanks guys!

[@FailThatIsNina]

im viet and my family has always added chili to fruits like pineapple and mango yumm

I just add MSG to everything I cook. Umami for DAYS!!!

[@Rytchini]

Umami was found on a algae named KOMBU (monosodium glutamate) but seaweed is made of Nori so its not the ultimate umami flavour, because they are different species, but I really liked the video guys

[@meteorrejector]

the way ben says 'salt' omg

[@rkobewt]

Sult

Omg guys stop asSALTing (or the Ben way asSULTing) Ben. joking and I know I'm very funny.

[@jenannchen3745]

blitz equal weights dried shiitake mushrooms, bonito flakes, and dried seaweed in a spice grinder - that's my third seasoning.

[@ThacoBell]

in Thailand we often dip pineapple in salt&pepper mix

[@xxiao5156]

+SORTEDfood The taste receptors for sweetness on your tongue and throat are more active with the sweetness chemical detection if there is sodium ion present; and the salt is sodium chloride. That's why salt enhances desserts. And vice versa for sugar and salt. That's why BBQ sauce is sometimes overly sweet yet it is tasty.

[@notthatcreativewithnames]

I guess this triangle is quite a universal knowledge. People in my country also use the same idea, but tend to over-season foods. Also, a lot of restaurants tend to use controversial MSG in all dishes just for umami.

[@bcgrote]

I do have furikaki on my table. Great on salads!

[@keeperofthegood]

Best Brothers Grimm story line: Father, I love you more than salt. Happy Fathers Day guys!!

[@phatnguyen9101]

In Vietnam we make this dip which is make of chilly and salt, mix togehter in a mold and pestle. We use this dip for sour fruit like pineapple, green mango, guava... It is very nice, you should try @SORTEDfood

[@leahpatts6007]

Ben so serious and your friends are like two friends waiting to be removed from the lunchroom to go go play on the playground.

[@machinewulf]

I love that company of seaweed omg

[@jayyyzeee6409]

The "thrid" condiment :) Seriously though, nori should be a condiment. I only see this at some ramen places, but yeah, it should be everywhere! Genius!!

[@bolindai9327]

Why did the coral blush? Because the seaweed..... ....hahaha I am so mature.

[@Kane-5263]

In the seasoning domain, I wonder if you did something like which herb goes well with which type of food / other herb as a complement to that triangle, I think it would be interesting too

[@mariamkhan5124]

nice way to explain everything

[@hairwithmartha6164]

That's like a reverse version of the builder's triangle! Amazing tip. :)

[@bryankorzelski8652]

Please do one on herbs and spices!

[@Tatjanak1989]

You can add butter to counter ‚sour‘. I actually add angostura bitters to stuff like tomato souce. It works so well, it can make dishes boring. So be careful.
