Super Geeky Marshmallow Popcorn Bars | Sorted Food

[@sabinemoss3795]

"Food Science... which is going to be really exciting." I could tell from your enthusiasm, James. So exciting.

[@msabolijoshi]

"Moist finger more control" Don't think I didn't hear your Bennuendo there boy

[@MrPinkcomfort]

"What a drizzler" I almost missed that one

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

Ben's a Lad.,😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@ILike2PlayBass]

Pack it in... oh dear

[@Nyuum]

I still remember one of ben's jokes when we were in secondary school. It was 'Why is 1.57 so tasty? Half a pi' . He told his teacher the joke and he just left the room. good times with Ben.

[@jmp_fr]

I appreciate the reference. One of Ben's simultaneously best and worst moments right there

[@gaukaiser]

"Moist fingers, more control" Ben knows his stuff, if you understand what I mean ;)

[@esmee928]

OK either my mind is EXTREMELY dirty or there were A LOT of innuendos in this video!! 😂

[@katyaallnutt693]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@WarEagle1023]

Sasha J Almost as many as their Innuendo Bingo episode when they had to be mature or remake the dreaded red shorts video

[@matthewroberts3538]

Moist finger, more control

[@agatasousa2885]

I LOVE the theme! Actually I'm loving the format of this season, the theme weeks, midweek meals and everything. You're doing great, guys

[@lavsrox]

James is so soft spoken it melts my icy heart

[@Arazand]

Well time to use some alternative preperation methods then. Here is one for french fries: 1. Clean, peel and cut the raw potato into fries, 1cm thick on the short ends. Lets be exact here, bring your ruler. *adjust glasses* (Unfortunately potatoes are not even so they will have to be about 7-15cm long, depending on the size of your potatoes. 2. Evenly distrobute the raw fries inside of a vacuum bag and a tea spoon of H2O (Normal drinkwater is fine too.) and seal the vacuum bag with a vacuum sealer of your choice. 3. This is the important part, fill an ultrasonic clearner with water so you can submerge the entire vacuum bag inside of it. Turn it on for about 20 minutes on the high setting. This will break apart potatoes external structure and the... I actually have no idea what is actually happening to the potatoes at this point but trust me it works. 4. Immedietly after the ultrasonic bath, open the bag and carefully lower the fries into pre-heated oil and deep fry until golden. The fries will be the crispiest best fries you'll ever have. All at the low low cost of an ultrasonic cleaner. Which is a great tool for cleaning say jewelry and small mechanical parts like all those loose screws that Jamie drop whenever he opens his mouth. Have fun my nerdy friends!

[@TinkerbellKat]

I sang "Super Freak" at a gig last night but in my heart I was singing "super geek."

[@laureld01]

Food Science is a good week You can use liquid nitrogen It's Ben Week

[@SortedFood]

It is basically Ben week ha!

[@cjjn]

#SuperGeekWeek!

[@margaretmalton4534]

LIQUID NITROGEN ICECREAM!!!!!

[@lancemaxwell8464]

"not a baby" . . . "something tastier" nice, Mike. Nice.

[@jennycowling6622]

how many wiki pages do you think mike has read in the past few weeks

[@jolienpetre9017]

The science behind fermentation and food. Fermentation means something different for pickled vegetables, yoghurt, wine, breads,... maybe a recipe that combines these different outcomes of the fermentation process?

[@jolienpetre9017]

and don't forget cheese offcourse!

[@payalshah4080]

This! Kombucha, Kefir, sourdough, sauerkraut too...

[@VirgoLunaKnight]

silicone bake ware and science ...this might as well be called Ben week 🤔

[@Khazandar]

Barry? Healthy eating? Uwotm8.

[@danielchroman5673]

Microwave your popcorn kernels in a brown paper bag and it is light and just as healthy as air pop

[@beebruno4517]

Poornima Krishnan YASSS

[@yoursjuli]

It's the opposite in America, butterfly popcorn is our cinema popcorn, and mushroom popcorn is usually used in store-bought snack bags and for kettle corn!

[@sarahhastings2588]

I like the way James can say that it's "going to be very exciting" while simultaneously sounding like he wants to die

[@CitizenOfNeverland]

I LOVE when we get into food science. Plus these look delicious! Will have to have a movie night and make them soon!

[@AllyMonkey123]

"what a drizzler" oh my so many things jumped to mind there! 🤣

[@R4D4RGUN]

You can actually make oil-free popcorn quite easily at home! Just pour about a handful of kernels into a big microwave safe bowl, pop a plate on top of it and heat it on the highest setting in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes. It works really well for me and won't burn if you take it out at the right time! Just remember that the bowl is probably super hot when it gets out so it's perhaps not the best idea to use it as a serving bowl

[@Tmanstext]

James has a very gentle, soothing voice.

[@jesskendall5855]

there’s a really easy way to air pop popcorn at home (figured it out when my dad smashed my microwave jug), basically fill the base of a microwave safe bowl with kernels, cover the top of the bowl with cling film, piercing a few holes to let the steam escape and microwave it for like 2 minutes, shake it and then for another 2-3 minutes, really easy airpopped popcorn

[@sharayalee3376]

Anyone here from 2020? Making these this weekend and I can’t wait! PS: can we have more sciency cooking please?

[@musicalgal7]

mike is a very good teacher, being a teacher for him was a good call. i like his inalegies

[@kennedyritchie8682]

so excited you guys are doing a science week! I'm starting college in the fall for food science, so this is great to see!

[@19billdong96]

Ben: I've cooked for the Queen Mike: I can catch a flying fork

[@thereal_chrisch]

probably the only episode that shut me up, I haven't got any ideas for a sciencey recipe but I'm super excited to read the comments and find something I can try for myself!!!!

[@eliz.z]

Trickshots with Mike should be a thing on this channel

[@laurafox97]

Finally a science week! I'm always explaining everything (from cooking to weather) in a scientific manner (until told to shut up). Super looking forward to this week! :D

[@evclaydon2191]

How do you tell if popcorn is butterfly or mushroom? It doesn't exactly say on the packet.

[@T_AMC]

Its way too hot where i am to sleep, so im actually not super late watching this. yaaaaay

[@ErikBPG]

love this theme. science and cooking at the same time is the perfect combo

[@randalfedje2479]

just tried the technique of popping popcorn and it worked perfectly!

[@sheinaedeline2814]

An event for a week with Ben learning about food and Science would be spectacular!

[@polarralop7630]

well there is 1 sciency stuff to try to make liquid solid beads.what you do is put half cup oil in the freezer for 30 mins to thicken and become cold then in the meantime get some gelatine and some water then heat up your stock and add into it the gelatin mixture and get your dropper ready.then take the oil out of the freezer and drop into it with the dropper your stock and then strain out the oil and what should remain is the stock solidified and look like beads..

[@charlies86angel]

7:47 - "Moist finger, more control." Let's all take a moment to enjoy this remark in all its unsullied (?) glory. #enoughsaid

[@lillk001]

I've found that putting the kernels all in at the same time as the oil (when the oil is cold) that works just as well too.

[@arfnon7514]

is ben finally going to publicly announce his son tyronne? good for you ben! you would make a very good father.

[@brumsgrub8633]

Great channel this is. Great stuff, really enjoy it. and my 7 year old girl loves it. We are making them bars today. Cheers

[@SortedFood]

Awesome! Let us know how you get on.

[@brumsgrub8633]

SORTEDfood we did these and they are so so good. I play cricket and I've got to make loads of them for our cricket tea on Saturday. Which is a great idea for you. do the ultimate cricket tea. That would be amazing

[@inurfaqira]

The main reason that I clicked on this video so fast is that I saw the word 'Geeky' and I know that there would be the Super Geek Song in it. It's better now that the whole week is geeky. Great! Now the song will be stuck in my mind forever😂😂😂

[@eblake3617]

This is going to be the GREATEST WEEK EVER!!!!!!

[@chrzrd.]

Ramadan Mubarak to everyone fasting!!

[@smolblueblob5317]

MOAR TRICK SHOTS WITH MIKE, rlly liked the previous video off that also wheres comment of the week?

[@melwalmsley8267]

Great episode! Loved the science behind popcorn - very interesting. Plus loving the music & editing this season guys. Spot on 👍🏼

[@VirgoLunaKnight]

super geek song 😍

[@thisdamnthingy]

This, then beer tomorrow?! yeah this is going to be a good week.

[@SortedFood]

Woop woop

[@beccagentry4521]

I have an air popper! Ran out of popcorn but I'm going to buy some to make this! Looks good guys!

[@lucapeyrefitte6899]

😂 that fake laugh made me laugh with a tear coming out, love you guys so much

[@sianpursglove4346]

How about honeycomb? I find it really interesting and maybe we can learn the science behind it 💜

[@alinaa_a1009]

James is so soft spoken i cry

[@chiisan6693]

AHHHH SUPER GEEK IS BACK!!!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LONGER THAN ANYTHING ELSE OH MY WORD!

[@ayshashaheen5054]

I'm majoring in Food Science at the University of Guelph !! Can't wait to see what you guys do for the rest of the week

[@leomiller658]

airpopping can be done in a brown paper bag in the microwave. simple and healthy

[@messy_messenger]

SORTEDFOOD, PLEASE - for the love of god - try to work in Alton Brown and Good Eats in some way this week. He is the OG "dork with a fork," and he has shared his passion for food science in an easy to digest manner (lol) for decades now. Look up the pizza oven on his channel - there really isn't much that can top that level of food-nerd. Seriously, a video call, phone call, or even a tweet from him would permanently cement this week in SortedFood history. I haven't nerdgasmed this hard in a long time, probably not since he announced the return of Good Eats a little while back. As always, keep up the awesome content. I'm really liking this new schedule. :)

[@Zakhanis]

Have to say, I'm really enjoying these themed weeks.

[@Arctic352]

You can make air popped popcorn if you put the kernels in a paper bag (fold over the end) then microwave it for about 6 minutes

[@automechs360]

If you freeze the kernels before you pop them they have a better flavor and they take on the seasoning a bit more.

[@elizabethheyn5365]

"Which is gonna be very exciting," James said, sounding very unexcited.

[@TheSvetlaNochka]

Mike's facial expressions are PRICELESS ^^

[@oskarelysee9076]

Oh wow! Joe and Sephs responded, they make amazing popcorn. I see their products in many high-end shops

[@igobyej2683]

I was so hoping you were gonna say study snacks - cause I need help! Can't wait to see how excited Ben is gonna be this week though...

[@lelaniadam]

My mom made similar treats for my bake sale contributions in primary school, it was always popular. In high school my brother and I preferred rice crispy treats. Just swap out the popcorn for rice crispy cereal. :-)

[@hahahashanjapan]

So how do i know if the corn kernels i got is butterfly or mushroom? Thanks!

[@mrs.thomas-usmcwife5686]

I love this idea. I want to tweak it and make some for my kiddos.

[@ohyeagirl1111]

I would love to see the sorted crews react to their old videos 😂

[@ymb6987]

Delicious! It would be lovely to know which type of popcorn we're buying - any way to know the difference in a typical bag of kernels purchased from a grocery store?

[@yeetyoink2254]

If you want to, you can use an ice cube tray and at the bottom of each cube molds, depending on your chocolate use the opposite color and make a design, like a smiley face c:

[@sarahr7890]

I love the Chromeo like soundtrack. Very fitting for your show 👍

[@kevinnakajima1988]

These are extremely simple and delicious to make!!!!

[@jadencloyes9455]

@SORTEDfood "Marshmallow delight" was that Ben's nickname in high school

[@cookienomnom]

Ahhhh!!! I'm a food science major in uni!!! This video makes me so happy :3

[@AlejandroFerrariMc]

I'm all for that little laugh at 8:09

[@mikemayers9353]

put the kernel in the pan when the oil is cold , that wil ensure max poppage

[@hannahfisher4342]

If you are coming to Chicago during the summer you should get a spinach deep dish from Piero's Pizza in Highland Park and then walk over to Ravinia Festival to enjoy a concert (it is about a half mile walk through a nice neighborhood). Great pizza and a great way to enjoy it!

[@SamaraTrollero]

yaaay what a great desert thanks for the idea

[@blackdoomduck]

i love popcorn, as its mainly air, it means as a diabetic its a great low carb snack

[@bodbrochbremner6581]

I can't believe that Ben had enough pairs of glasses to go around.

[@melsyoutube]

James could lower his mystery box onto my face any day. Mike too!

[@shirleycastle5170]

looks yummy. I put coconut oil, rosemary and garlic on my popcorn

[@berlincitylights1972]

i'm so excited for this week!!!

[@Laura_Norda]

I love how Ben put the glasses above his own glasses heheee

[@alicemaillot9538]

their laugh is so contagious

[@ummehabibatasmia4770]

i want to see the confetti marshmallow popcorn bar!!!💜

[@EagleWingz7500]

1:43 I SEE WHAT U DID THERE! Perfect timing

[@rmilk1209]

waah i will try this already!! 😻😻 i like ur videos guys * awesome team*✨💜

[@MissMage1918]

what could I substitute the dried mango for? I'm not particularly a fan of mango but I do love the other flavors in here. maybe candied ginger since there's already the powder?

[@verity3332]

I wonder if they will try the seaweed gelatin bubbles. They were inside of a ice cream cake i had once still can't figure out how the liquid bubbles were not frozen has to be something tricky going on with science there. Awesome effect though.

[@nikolinaeriksson990]

got super excited for a second when Jamie shouted Harry Potter week

[@ariel3725]

wow Mike is full of corn knowledge. impressive.

[@ryzamikaela6451]

Omg i really really like ur guys vids I've been subscribe for a long time 😊

[@ErikMunneke6714]

You can actually easily pop your corn without using any oil. Just do exactly the same as you did, but without any oil ;). That's how I do it all the time! An easy portable snack. A little goes a looooong way

[@mommagaige1818]

You should look up the Alton Brown method of popping the corn. Always works, never burns!

[@bianca1685]

Watching this makes me feel like I'm back in school...I thought school isn't suppose to start till September

[@nonnnx]

this channel is so underrated :(

[@Esther-oz4ts]

Ben and his fork - that was too cute

[@ivan39navi]

Ben rocking the double glasses :)

[@janicatorculas6677]

What can you swap with the ground ginger?

[@Tom-li1og]

Some ideas: making emulsions with homemade mayo or hollandaise (lecithin science), any dessert relying on crystallization (fudge, brittle, etc), reduction reactions, denaturing proteins by poaching eggs

[@georgiacarslaw9890]

I'd love to see them make one of the japanese popin candy making kit as a challenge

[@ritasoares8522]

I hope the super geek song is featured at least 4 times this week! 😝😝

[@simplicated99]

Pro tip: you should have cut those bars upside down (i.e. chocolate side down) so the chocolate don't crack.

[@SortedFood]

That is a pro tip! Cheers!
