Chefs and Normals Review DIY Food Kits Vol.7 | Sorted Food

I'll be honest, if following the directions included in the kit makes it fail I want no part of that kit. It doesn't matter if I know better and can save it, if those flawed instructions didn't get caught in testing the recipe I shudder to think what other corners were cut.

[@artful1967]

absolutely agree. You are paying a premium for them to iron out all the kinks and give you an easy to follow recipe. If it doesn't do that then I would actually send it back for a refund.

[@libertyts]

My first thought in response to your comment? "What testing?" It either wasn't tested at all, as the mistake would have been immediately and visually obvious, or (less likely I would hope) they did test it, saw the mistake and couldn't be bothered fixing it...

[@ladosolado]

I agree. If the kits are to be an entry attempt for a less skilled individual, then flawed instructions are setting these people up to fail

I have a feeling they they got people to test who aren't entry level and so were fine.

That tart kit is a complete fail to me - I'm not a trained chef, so I would have followed the instructions exactly as they are, and this video has shown doing so can literally ruin the kit. If I'd spent £27 on a kit that wasted my time, caused me stress trying to salvage it, and produced nothing particularly impressive I'd be pissed.

[@erinholdner5538]

If the Vurger kit comes with their own buns and cheese, I could see the kit being worth it (over buying your own stuff). Good plant-based cheese isn’t easy to come by (at least where I am), and I don’t even know where I’d start when looking for a vegan brioche bun.

[@lilyj.thomas4555]

I love watching these food kit videos to see the diverse talent there is all around the world, recipes chefs have created and what’s even more exciting in my opinion- what this pandemic has created, new businesses that a lot of people have dreamed about for years and haven’t had the time or were too afraid to start etc. it’s amazing to see them thriving all things considering.

[@FoxDragon]

So what I have learned today is that if you make futomaki and just don't cut it, you can make a business out of calling it a sushi burrito.

Sushi rolls are really only eaten whole on Setsubun, which is usually 2 or 3 February, and you eat the roll (called ehoumaki) whole while pointing the lucky cardinal direction for that year. Just some background!

@@asmith8692 The point that was made in any number of food-pack/kit videos is that, whilst you *could* go out an get all the stuff yourself, the average novice to the cuisine just wouldn't. Kits give you the gear, idea, and motivation in one package.

[@Museislife115]

I agree but i don't think its a rip off necessarily. Beyond burgers are very expensive and so is vegan cheese and vegan brioche is not easy to find (at least where I am). and if you bought all of the ingredients at a grocery store it would probably come to a similar price, people are just paying for the convenience of having it done for them

[@Ormathon]

Its good for people to try out a fixed recipe, since first timers will NEVER just go out and buy these new things just to try them together.

[@LarsBlitzer]

Hey, here's an idea: These DIY kits always give you a lot of ingredients, more than you need to complete the recipe. Case in point, the sushi dog kit with all the extra rice. How about for a challenge the Normals are given a random assortment of the leftover ingredients from these kits and told to come up with a dish. 30-45 minute time limit, and you can use stuff from the fridge, too as long as they're not the main part of the dish.

Enjoyable review that go beyond just "enjoyment: tasty - not tasty and pricing: worth it or not" I appreciated the critiques of the Vurger's instructions and the shortfalls of the chocolate tart kit that was not completely fool proof. It's important to show viewers that are not food savy that struggling is sometimes due to incomplete or incoherent instructions. So many people are not confident in their cooking skills and sometimes it's just because they are not well guided.

[@themagicknightress7132]

Does Britain have “sashimi grade”? Because in the US, the FDA doesn’t recognize the label “sashimi grade”

[@adde9506]

Apparently, in the US we should buy flash frozen. Usually the fish is sold thawed, but having been frozen for shipping kills parasites, rendering the fish sushi grade, as long as it doesn't smell.

[@BlanekdCheque]

There’s no official certification, but sashimi grade tends to indicate both quality, and quality control to ensure that it can safely be eaten raw. And just like the commentator above pointed out, there still are regulations. “Any fish sold within the EU since 2006 that’s intended to be eaten raw, such as sushi and sashimi has to have been frozen for at least 24 hours below minus 20 celsius.” But no, there’s no higher organization going around grading fish

[@chandrawong449]

I'm not sure of label regulations, but when I go to the fish monger, I ask for sushi or sashimi grade fish all the time. If a person is new they might have to ask about it, but their tuna is always safe and they always tell me that while the salmon should be safe, they have to tell me to freeze it before using (so I do). Not all fish that's been frozen is safe to eat raw.

[@aimeem]

@@BlanekdCheque But the UK isn't in the EU anymore, so who knows?

a little tip on melting the cheese on the burgers. when the burgers are almost ready put the cheese on top, leave the burgers in the frying pan to finish cooking on the hob and use a lid from a same sized saucepan. put the lid on the frying pan and the heat and moisture will melt the cheese perfectly every time without the need to put it under a grill, that way it won't burn.

[@sharmeenwasim2650]

I hope you guys see this comment regarding the shrinking tart case. One reason why it seems that it shrunk too much is that it was not moulded right. I noticed this was the case when I would not tuck the dough all the way to the side corners. Then while it bakes, the dough flattens down to fill that space and that's why it seems that the dough shrank, giving a very short tart shell. I think this is what probably happened and I always make sure to really tuck it down to the corners and it has helped me quite a lot. Also, using a Microplane zester to clean up the edges of the tart shell makes a huge difference.

@@kaldogorath all the work? all you had to do was boil some water and simmer some rice....I live in Japan and you lot are getting robbed on a few hundred grams of "sushi grade" fish and a hand full of filler.

[@kaldogorath]

@@OneOfDisease And marinate the tuna, cut all of the veggies, and clean up after.

@@OneOfDisease Thank you! Its a handful of fish, rice and some vegetables. Not one of those kits is worth anything close to what they sell for. Especially the 'vurger' kit. Its basically a disassembled supermarket burger that you pay 5 times more and have to assemble it. Ridiculous.

Since these videos I have really been looking out for my local restaurants that do this. There are a few in LA. I really love these videos lads.

[@cacklebarnacle15]

When they say "Vurger" I hear "Würger. And I can't imagine eating something that suggests it's gonna make me choke on it.

[@04nimmot]

Love the bakesterbox, I could completely make the recipe without the kit, but that I keep the equipment and get higher quality ingredients than I would typically buy is brilliant. I did freeze the video to read the instructions and they aren't very clear and I'm guessing thats why it didn't work.

[@HunHaze]

Where's my boy James at? He's been missing from the video lately.

[@organicgrains]

Maybe he's stuck outside the UK?

[@wadeturner2665]

Stuck in Scotland, WuFlu travel restrictions in the UK.

[@MirandaM1977]

I usually look forward to and quite appreciate James' sarcastic edge in videos like this! Missing him too!

[@organicgrains]

@@wadeturner2665 That's what I was thinking. I've had several coworkers stuck in the UK for the last year.

[@kitherit]

I can't find it now, but I think they had a post on Twitter not long ago saying James is back in the kitchen with them, but the videos they're recording with him will take time to show up on the channel. Rumor is he had some personal stuff to deal with, not just quarantine or travel restrictions. But yeah, he'll be back in the videos soon!!
