And Jamie once again demonstrates his unique status as the only one who's actually familiar with regular home cooking by remembering the existence of the microwave.

[@YaaLFH]

We don't really use the microwave to heat liquids, so it doesn't mean anything.

[@LordSpuggy]

@@YaaLFH Pretty common in the UK to warm up a cup of milk in the microwave. The horrifying thing is seeing someone stick a teabag in cold water and then put it in the microwave.

[@kingkarlito]

he adds water to his sauce, then says ideally he'd reduce it...

[@xXIxidor92Xx]

Id say the stand-out performance this episode was from Mike. Getting the bone marrow and mushrooms roasting from the start was a great idea without pans, and the polenta as a base was excellent. Most everyone brought their A-game, but that initial direction allowed for the end dish to be as it was

[@SortedFood]

👏Excellent thinking from Mike

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

​@@SortedFoodLOVE YOUR CONTENT GUYS 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrAndMrsGameNight]

did he not roast it on a roasting pan?@@SortedFood

[@songsayswhat]

@@MrAndMrsGameNight I don't remember them including sheet pans/cookie sheets in their list of items they couldn't use. I immediately thought the same: Sheet pan!

[@pastaalalamborghini]

I concur, Doctor. They finally figured out the formula as a group with Mike building the base of open possibilities for everyone to build on. No one tried to be a hero and no one panicked.

[@thomasandrewclifford]

I have to be honest, Mike is probably the best person to go first which is why he never ends up going first. He takes it in a direction and leaves enough ideas without forcing them down a route they aren't comfortable with. We must never let him go first ever again.

[@darcieclements4880]

I agree Mike did a spectacular job going first I mean he really got a couple of clever ideas going immediately without trying to overthink them with the assumption that the rest of the team could pull them together and honestly it already sounds like a great meal. I haven't seen the whole episode yet I just saw the part with Mike but I was very impressed. Edit: lol Jamie at the end. If they want to really make it so you can't use the hob, they should simply make a no hob episode rather than a no pan episode I think the bowl was fine but I'm really glad that JB did not leave that glass bowl on the hot oven because oh my gosh I'm almost positive it wasn't the type of glass that can handle that, lol

[@angelousmortis8041]

I'm just confused as to how Mike forgot that Sauce Pots exist and they aren't, in fact, Sauce Pans. Or how he forgot pots exist in general. The prompt was "No pans" not "No Pots and Pans", after all.

[@stalelemonproduction]

​@angelousmortis8041 that just kinda goes against the spirit of the challenge though no? It's like how barry used a "campfire kettle" and put it on the hob for safety in the no hob challenge

[@robcoop6521]

Of those four, yes. But overall I'd say James Currie is the one you want going first. If he was around. He brings out all the ingredients!

[@laurennsspencer]

I’d love a “no heat” episode of Pass It On, no hob, no oven, no microwave, no air fryer, no toaster, etc. Maybe a good one for a heat wave in the summer?

[@Cheeta246]

Does a baking pan not count?

[@bengardner5269]

A "salad" pass it on then?... Still works for me!

[@erzsebetkovacs2527]

Could be a nice return to their college origins, as in many university dorms one would have access to a kettle and not much else.

[@edfleming9600]

Yeah that's a salad, or a sandwich.

[@mathisurien4031]

@@edfleming9600 not neccessarily, fish doesn't neccessarily need to be cooked to be eaten, think sushi, and there are ways of curing meat, like with lemon juice, that allow meats like steak to be served essentially raw, think steak tartare.

[@cb2578]

My friend joined me in watching this during Barry's turn, and she's never watched Sorted. She point-blank asked, 'Why did they hire this sous chef?' 🤣🤣

[@TutchMaibaulz]

Oh yeah I just returned to watching sorted. How did he become a sous-chef? Is it like a challenge he won or did he went and become a sous-chef somewhere.

[@DannyJay93]

​@@TutchMaibaulzIn many episodes they used to be able to earn badges for demonstrating certain skills. After a big finale, Barry came out on top.

[@Cationna]

Jamie scoring himself 3 when not messing up is such character development

[@FilipKik]

I gave myself a 3.... because I have to pee!

[@jenw6439]

And Barry giving himself a 7 after making that “salad” is not character development 😂

[@davecarlsen7212]

Mike crushed it here. His placing the marrow bones on the mushrooms was a stroke of genius and he *way* underrated himself. 9.5/10, Mike. You deserve it. 🎉

[@idea_generator]

Hey, Mike definitely deserves a badge for teamwork AND/or mis-en-place! Notice how all the guys said "looks like I didn't do much" as there was Mike's base and lasting 3 passes dish is geniunely a Mike's dish isn't it? MIKE FTW!!!!!11🥳

[@42neddy]

And he gave himself such a humble score too 😭💗 !

[@lynnettesue6240]

Mike always underscores himself. He did so well! Started the boys off strong, cleaned down while cooking, and didn't have a Huttlestorm (beyond not knowing how to heat up milk 😆). I would have scored you higher, Mike!

[@glasswingbutterfly]

Mike nailed it when Ebbers said "Sardines would've been nice"... Mike countered with, "Said one person ever." Point to Mike. Love you, guys.

[@antheajohnson4234]

Ebbers: "...and the whole of Spain"

[@euthehiro]

Jamie : I need desesperatly to pee Also Jamie :Take a sip of beer

[@Karoline_g]

All the usual Barry mockery aside - I love how excited he got by what Mike left him. Everyone was surprised and pleased by what they got today and that was a fun change. Even if I adore the usual panic 😆

[@melissas1865]

The instant pot, the air fryer, the deep fryer… they didn’t think of any of those? 😂🤣

[@vernicemarapelaez1014]

Doesn’t the instant pot use a pan though?

[@fionaclaphamhoward5876]

A blowtorch...

[@melissas1865]

@@vernicemarapelaez1014 It’s a round metal bowl similar to what Mike put on the stove. Shouldn’t it be allowed for the same reason?

[@StuartB_]

@@melissas1865No because that metal bowel would be classed as a pan and a separate cooker wouldn't be.

[@azeglio863]

@@StuartB_ how does a bowl become a pan? pans have a handle, pots two and bowls none... you can't just rename things because you couldn't think of them

[@ExtremeGamer9951]

Re: Sheet Pans Honestly in the UK we call them baking trays for the most part, so by our vernacular not a pan

[@beckycaughel7557]

Oh didn’t know that

[@kaleabkiros1297]

aka baking tray

[@thejgod4982]

As someone from the UK I am so confused by people saying mike used a pan haha. Today I learned that a baking tray is called a sheet pan in some parts of the world.

[@sams-pg7hj]

in america or at least here, a baking tray is flat with only one edge with a lip on it for grabbing, the rest of the three sides have no edge. what mike used was definitely a pan with four sides and a depth

[@ExtremeGamer9951]

@@sams-pg7hj Yeah we just always call them trays or sheets. And clearly by intent of the rules they meant a classic saucepan/frying pan/skillet/wok type arrangement

[@CptPatch]

Mike made the whole dish happen with his reliable and versatile base. Maybe he should be starting more often!

[@kit6024]

Theory: for all his flapping, Mike is actually at his best when he gets to start off a dish, because he's not panicking about figuring out what someone else is done; he gets to pick and set up the direction, without the time spent racing around the kitchen trying to work out what's going on. It worked out well for him this episode!

[@YaaLFH]

Yes. Mike has good ideas but often gets in his own way and flaps because of low self-esteem, so letting him pick the direction is playing to his strength.

[@katieluebcke9867]

I feel like we're seeing more character growth from Jamie. "This is really spicy, so we only need a little."

[@naomiarram5187]

Jamie: I need to wee, I need to wee, I need to wee Also Jamie: Chugs the beer the second he opens it. That's our Spaff!!

[@savdebunnies]

Sorted Team, I would just like to thank you for having full captions on all the videos. It really means the world to me and my family.

[@rconary]

For such a weird restriction, this was probably the most coherent, calm, and "professionally made" pass it on in a VERY long time, if not ever. It feels like all of the "normals" have REALLY hit their stride lately and I think there should be a Sous-Chef rematch.

[@StuartB_]

Coherent, calm and professionally made is neither their niche or why I'm here. I go to 'Eater' for that sort of thing.

[@MrCaptainchainsaw]

honestly so impressed by this episode. everything that was started got used, and everyone was on the same page and could see the previous person's vision. super proud of the boys. maybe this is the ideal order?

[@anumeon]

In this episode of Pass it on. The boys have a marrow escape from disaster.

[@AdamPersson]

Ì think this is the first time I've ever seen constant progression throughout the episode. Each one built upon what the others had made in a nice way and it all came together nicely. Well done!

[@lellyt2372]

Mike was the absolute STAR of this challenge ! He basically decided on the dish and the others followed his lead. WELL DONE MIKE !!!!

[@bluesilvahalo3576]

Ben was already thinking of the Stinking Bishop and lost control of his bone! 8:20 😆

[@schwig44]

don't be too *hard* on him, his bone was verrry slippery

[@Vtarngpb]

Surprised he didn’t include any Nut Butter

[@TheMooseFromTheRoom]

The sassyness of Janice when she says "I just love seeing his little cogs turning away". But its really true! The chef brain at works!

[@randalthor741]

Man, Mike should go first more often... He really got them off to a solid start & set them up for success in this one! Even if he did somehow forget that you can heat milk in the microwave lol

[@raisachoudhury4071]

I must say Mike was absolutely incredible this episode and I've now realized why we hardly see him going first because there's no chaos when he's leading the charge. He imediately started with the base starch with such a creative loophole and started roasting what needed to be roasted. He had an idea and ran with it but also allowed the other members to add to the dish. A standing ovation to Mike and the incredible teamwork from the Sorted Recipe Relay Team!

[@Tyranzor64]

Aside from the Microwave obvious thing. Mike played the opening really well. Good ideas, throw a broad net and let others narrow the scope as they need.

[@altejoh]

I think Ben's got the right attitude. They really should have the perspective of scoring themselves based on "lack of screwing up" rather than "creating the next magnum opus" xD

[@AlexanderTrefz]

Mike making an amazing start and underrating himself (Mate! That was an 8 EASILY) and then Barry doing basically nothing and giving himself a higher grade is just so classic.

[@Timmycoo]

Mike putting the marrow on top of the shrooms was actually one of the smartest things I've seen him do in one of these on-the-fly challenges. Also he killed it with the polenta, even though my original thought was not using the stove but I guess no pans so it was technically correct. Funny when Ben said the same thing lol.

[@kelqueen9998]

But did they use any of the marrow? All I saw was the juices.

[@Timmycoo]

@@kelqueen9998 lol yeah I didn't even see any! I totally forgot about that. I dunno if that was intentional or not.

[@erinhowett3630]

I feel like Mike is the best person for the first position. Every time he starts it goes well.

[@thedj9553]

Genuinely read that as "No Pants" and was mildly intrigued

[@mariaoberg9880]

Looking for this comment! I also read it as "No PANTS" first and it brought me back to the gag when they had a Gentlemen's afternoon tea 😉

[@YourXavier]

Sounds like we have an idea for the next challenge ;) Just watch the hot oil!

[@Eliza-xd5ck]

Glad I'm not the only one

[@maromania7]

Wow, so much growth the episode! Mike actually picking a sort of direction! Barry not doing his usual "The baseline is a 10, I knock myself down a point if I mess something up" routine! Ben not going crazy with the ingredient that others don't like. Jamie choosing a whole number and showing a LOT of (unneeded) humility!

[@Kopa_Malphas]

The response of Barry on Mike's choices of cooking? This was my exact reaction to the choices. Good picks. This was killer.

[@digiscream]

10 years in, and they've _finally_ figured out how the relay works.

[@RedSoul001]

I can't believe that Jamie didn't ruin the whole thing. I honestly couldn't stop bitting my lip because of the anxiety I had of him destroying everything for something else 😂. Glad Mike mentioned he should have scored himself more because of this 🤣

[@bestofemse]

I love in the outro when everyone's arguing Jamie is just eating 😂😂

[@nicholascrow8133]

Mike not thinking of the obvious way of heating the milk with the microwave is the definition of a huddlestorm state of mind! lol

[@complicateditis]

I kept waiting for something to go wrong but it never did! Well done boys, especially Mike for setting them up so well.

[@Erdnussbuttertoast]

Mike's a better person than me, because when he mentioned for the first time "I haven't figured out a way to heat up milk. could be an issue", my mind instantly went the Barry-red-beets-route and thought "kettle"

[@chloebratherton8628]

Honestly Mike absolutely smashed this out of the park with this one. Had something to prove after being called the most normal normal 😂😂

[@Sassy.Sasquatch]

Pass it on challenge: the cooks get assigned a cooking appliance and can only use that for their turn. One gets an air fryer, one gets a microwave, one gets a toaster, one gets a blow torch or something else. Not sure what appliances you keep on hand 😅

[@peterterry7918]

The high pitched "We might actually pass this! We might actually pass this!" made me wonder if he was talking about the challenge or the wee?

[@thaisstone5192]

MAJORLY impressed by the lack of panic by Barry; he well deserves his red apron!!! And all the others (astonishingly) seemed to be on the same wavelength. BRAVO!!!

[@angrypotato_fz]

Mike used his time efficiently and prepared a solid base for a dish, which everyone reacted positively to. Baz didn't toss Mike's creation aside and created something complimentary, which Ebbers wasn't disgusted by. Ebbers didn't start with disgust for the previous creation and finished the dish in a relaxed mode, almost plated it, although he wasn't last. Jamie didn't add any bacon and actually finished on time. I don't know what's going on, but I'm positively surprised :D Jamie had nice Gordon Ramsey vibes here ;)

[@imjustasking553]

I was watching sorted videos the other day and thought to myself how good the plating and presentation of nearly all your dishes are, both normal and obviously chefs. Could you do a video offering some plating tips and tricks that chefs use that us normals could use at home?

[@Jorge-l-Rodriguez]

13:33 I'm glad to know that chef John's "round the outside"x3 is so infectious.

[@eddyk3]

[@valliarlette6596]

When the clock is ticking, definitely go with what you know. One of the reasons the chefs are able to invent on the fly is they have a much broader experience to draw on.

[@BotloB]

I have never seen the guys this organised in a Pass It On. The dish looked great, and Mike did a fenomenal job at the start.

[@craigfaulkner8455]

I see the sous chef covering himself in glory by not knowing what ingredients are, even when he's tasted them lol😂😂😂

[@fionaclaphamhoward5876]

And I'm still unreasonably irritated that he doesn't take time to clear down. Walks into a cleared-down kitchen, and yet doesn't think to pass that on to the next guy. Unreasonable of me perhaps but then he is apparently the crowned/aproned sous chef

[@beatriceojea]

Did I just... did I just witness Barry Taylor make coherent choices on a Pass It On? I might need to sit down

[@Joey0017]

Gotta love Jamie quoting an Eminem song " round the outside, round the outside" 😂❤

[@Misterfranky2]

‘I have no way to heat the milk’, then proceeds to use a bowl on a hob to heat the polenta. Classic! Also, what does it say about me that I prefer the failed pass it ons? 😂

[@Tacobell1384]

Barry's face when Jaime said that the salad was balsamic was priceless.

[@jeddavis4771]

The way Ben just gets on with the business at hand testifies of his expertise as a chef. I quite enjoy watching him ''çreate".

[@boyantrifonov]

I loved this episode. But guys! You have the most expensive and capable waffle maker, you have an Instant Pot, you have a deep fryer, you have the dosa maker, you have the samosa maker, you have the precision oven, you have sous vide maker and you have that stupid breakfast all in one and probably other things. You have SO MUCH potential for variety! Please make another no pans allowed episode but use your gadgets!

[@bitsy00005]

Great job guys! This was an obvious pass. I'm always rooting for you to succeed. When Mike goes first, he does a great job of creating a direction without defining the dish too precisely. It's a bowl not a pan.

[@Raluid]

The intro to this format really hits home for me, taking me back to times with my mum, who's no longer with us. The intro music reminds me of lazy Sundays, her cooking dinner with shows like Antiques Roadshow, Songs of Praise, and Keeping Up Appearances playing in the background. It's a kind of warm, fuzzy feeling I've missed as an adult. Thanks for sparking those memories with your music choice.

[@mmmmmmolly]

5:30 The "why is he kissing things" got me 🤣 i don't know why but it was so random and hilarious

[@maryudomah4387]

What a GREAT START, Mike. He usually starts super well. Idk why he isn't first more often!

[@JohnGarrettHudson]

I cannot even begin to express how much I needed a pass it on after work today. Thank yall for everything you do for your viewers! 👊🏻 🍳

[@hollydingman7455]

I love the chaos when you guys “fail,” but I also really enjoy a win - especially when it’s as well deserved as this one. Great job, guys!

[@SarimDeLaurec]

I love how after getting a good pass there is talk about making it not too easy. As if previous passes prevented any horrific fails afterwards. :D

[@AMMV22]

In all the years of pass it on I don't think I've ever seen an episode where someone doesn't go "well I'll score myself low because I didn't *do anything*" and it has always made me absolutely CRAZY because just because you didn't cook a bunch of stuff DOESN'T MEAN YOU DID NOTHING!! The challenge is 'get a whole dish done collectively' not 'cook more things than the other people in the challenge with you'

[@karengieseking1437]

I was so excited to see a relay when I got home from work! Thanks so much!

[@hannahg1923]

I wonder if they assumed that Mike using a metal bowl was a cheat because they thought he put it on the hob, when he actually used it to retain the heat from the hot water - which was still incredibly smart. Mike did amazing!

[@CalliopeMoEP]

I don't know what happened. One of the most competent Pass it ons ever. But I loved it!

[@starsong2016]

Maybe they should do this order more often - it was so satisfying watching everything come together. Also I agree with everyone - the boys need to score themselves higher when they actually hold back and don't completely derail the dish by trying to make something completely new in 10 minutes!

[@Aritul]

Every time I watch Sorted Foods, the thing that first comes to mind is that they are so likable.

[@flii87]

Seriously, well done guys! Jamie, you deserved an 8. Your presentation skills are improving!! and your sauce was a great addition.

[@fayedee8653]

I simply adore the usual pass it on chaos!Although it was non existent in this episode, I was impressed by Mike’s perfect set up that made it easy for the rest of the team to fall in line.

[@TwlightDutch]

who would have thought that a no-pan episode with huttlestorm as the start and spaff at the end would be the least chaotic pass-it-on in ages 😂

Brilliant! Mike you legend! You were the MVP VIP on this win

[@cherese773]

I started watching Sorted Food for the Pass it On series and it's still my favourite. But how Instagram was going crazy saying Mike is the most normal normal is beyond me 🙂 He has evidently improved by leaps. Another great episode!! 🥳

[@giraffesinc.2193]

[@Lexi-1234]

[@justingoh3622]

Brilliant job by the lads. Mike gave them a brilliant start Barry didn't change direction on them and instead made a salad that complimented the base Ebbers making the main component and texture components Jamie bringing it all together with great plating and a sauce.

[@gregorio5360]

I'm convinced if Ben hadn't chosen that bowl to serve in, Jamie would have served everything in the marrow bone

[@richardlynch2737]

It's love to see a pass it on when they get less time but they are there twice, the horror of seeing what they planned earlier being completely changed would be hilarious

[@cutedute]

I think all their scores deserve to be higher - Mike did SUCH a good job setting it up, Ebbers set Jaime up super well, and brought things together and Jaime plated something amazing, bringing all the different pieces together. Usually, I think Barry ignores the direction he's being nudged down and does his own thing (whether it's productive or not), but all 4 of them did a super good job working together.

[@BathoryBat]

i think this is the most harmonious, least frantic pass it on there has ever been. A well deserved pass

[@clusterbungle]

Back yourself Mike that was a great start! 👏👏👏 One of the only PIOs i can remember where they actually progressed from what was already there! To keep it up how about a mezze pass it on where each person has to contribute a dish for the mezze but you can only leave clues (ingredients and equipment) for your suggested dish and the next person has to cook whatever they think you've got in mind. Then they leave out ingredients/equipment for their suggested dish which the next person cooks and so on...
