Haven't seen Ben this irate in a while. Sausage turning tongs broke the man.

[@SortedFood]

Very sensitive sausage

[@bradyp8868]

​@@SortedFoodBen wrote this reply himself, i can smell it

[@87gg]

I had to rewatch 3:20 over and over again just to see him bang the table again lmao

[@HonorThyTarkus]

I want a show with Irate Ben! All mad. All the time. The Angriest Sausage!

[@karinemw]

Mike was using them exactly how I also thought they were supposed to be used. Lmao

[@JaySay]

Everyone's talking about Ben's anger, but I would love to celebrate Jamie & Mike's decision to continue to fan those flames!😂 Mike talking about how he would use the tongs and going _"Nee-oww"_ and _"ooooOOOOoooo!"_ in a little kid's tone as if he's playing with them is hilarious!

[@kuchenjaeger2164]

The "neeoww" got me so good :'D

[@mslizwood]

I just want the play with your food episode now!

[@87gg]

Ben being so irate is the funniest thing I've seen. Especially over a piece of tongs lmao

[@Agamemnon2]

They are a staggeringly stupid tool, so I can sympathise.

[@HappyGothGal]

Some airplanes have power outlets between the seats. Imagine a stewardess asking if you'd like a cup of tea and you just go "no thanks, I have my own" and pull that out 😂

[@dianacfleming]

You'd never get it through security.

[@Nasalkeihpos]

I now want to try that! I can imagine it being able to get though security, as you’re able to have a carry on hair straightener.

[@teresabarbour8119]

I recently read an article about drinking tea and coffee on planes. Apparently the water tanks are neither cleaned nor treated. They are as unsafe as the machines at McDonald's. So having your own, especially on a long flight could be a good idea. 😊

[@iris4547]

@@dianacfleming uhh, why? theres no rule against electronics on a plane and itll easily fit in carry on. youd have to buy the water after security and some airports/airlines dont allow any water on board, limiting its usefulness, but its perfectly safe to fly with.

[@Charbond]

Korean Air have just announced they wont be giving out boiling water for cup ramen anymore. I can finally see a market for this thing. Airplane ramen shall live again!

[@Mashangi]

Those tongs need to appear in some future challenge where gadgets are used just to see if they get Ben riled up again.

[@sams-pg7hj]

maybe its a one tool challenge, can only use that tool, ben gets the tongs

[@JaySay]

​@@sams-pg7hjGreat idea! Could be a Pass It On where the person before you chooses your cooking tool. I guess you would have to allow them to use knives and spoons, but they're *forced* to use that chosen tool as well?

[@gingiegirl6963]

Librarians everywhere are screaming in horror thinking about someone setting that rig up in the library near their books....🤣🤣

[@HumbleWooper]

I was just thinking that. If I tried to have an open mug of anything in my library I'd get asked to either stop or leave the second staff saw me. They even frown on water bottles or cups with lids.

[@susansherman7551]

❤❤❤❤ here's an idea.... A pass it on with each using the worst liked kitchen gadgets that you spin for on the wheel 😮😮thanks for the video guys

[@3rdhalf]

This is diabolical. I love it.

[@milkisblueberries]

OH YES.

[@msfoodiediva]

Luv that idea. Or told that one of them will b selected and have to use one of worst gadgets. Secretly everyone in pass it on will need to use one of the gadgets

[@Drnaynay]

Yes! This!!!

[@wendyoldbag6534]

Just over the 3 minute mark.... Ben's expression is priceless ..you can almost hear his thoughts.. "I'm a trained chef...and here I am sitting next to a kindergarten pupil who is LITERALLY playing with his food!!!"

[@johnyshadow]

And they didn´t even get to the waffle lego yet! xD

[@susansmith864]

TBF isn't that pretty much why we all love Sorted?

[@BlazeMiskulin]

{Ben mumbling} "Could buy *two* kettles for that price" :D

[@kuriseon]

Ben’s constant teabagging his… well… teabag made me have an idea: you guys should do a challenge where you learn from a tea sommelier and then make a food/tea pairing!

[@alexdavis5766]

The sorted band. Instruments made entirely from kitchen gadgets/ equipment. I can see a Christmas number 1 in the making! Would make the first gadget have a second use too’

[@StuartB_]

I don't know how many times I have to hear Mr precision call an axis axle before I crack but I'm here for it.

[@melbee4452]

Think this may be the earliest I've managed to watch a video ever, so leaving a commemorative comment

[@SortedFood]

Welcome to the early club!

[@kharneater778]

OMG when Ebbers said "The wûrst banger ever" he sounded so much like an german villain from a WW2 movie (the older ones) speaking english with a "German" accent.

[@hoonahtuna]

To look up while listening when Mike goes "Ny-oooom" with the sausage to follow up with Ben, I couldn't stop laughing! We need more testy gadgets :p

[@AngryAlfonse]

I could imagine that hot water dispenser coming in handy in plenty of situation. A library, an airport lobby while waiting between flights, a train station. I don't know if motels are common in the UK, but they're super common in the US and a lot of motels don't have kettles/coffee machines. As for hotels, most US hotels have coffee machines, not kettles, and you don't want your tea or cup noodles tasting like old coffee residue. In the US, we have a lot of parks that have pavilions with power outlets; you could toss this in your backpack/laptop bag, go to the park, and have tea with your book or work. That being said, I'd never buy one. Not only is it too expensive, but I'm a silly American and I only drink low quality cold sweet tea from Arizona cans 😎

[@helenswan705]

Nope, in UK, kettles are universal. We don't understand how you Americans manage without them.

[@rolfs2165]

I feel like, wherever you could take that thing, you could just as well take an old-time submersion heater (which is a third of the price). And with that portable flow heater, you probably have to pour it out before packing it away, too. Also, as a practical person, I'd just bring a thermos of hot water if I know I'm gonna need it.

[@AngryAlfonse]

@@helenswan705 because we don't drink tea lol. Like, 90% of tea drank in the US is cold sweet tea, which we brew in bulk in large pots before storing in the fridge. 🤷

[@AngryAlfonse]

@@rolfs2165 fair. You could also make your tea at home and toss it in the thermos, no need to even bring tea bags with ya.

[@xDarkTrinityx]

I know this concept is crazy to people in the UK... but most hotels and motels have microwaves... you can microwave water to get it hot. Also, most have free coffee (even cheap motels) which also has hot water dispensers attached. The one use I could think of for it would be a dorm room, because it's more compact that a kettle or microwave so saves on space. The unfortunate thing is that it's more money.

[@carterthomas9182]

Can we get an updated studio tour/ bts on how a video is made? I would love to know the people behind the scenes that make my favorite food channel possible. Love you all

[@simvig765]

Hahahaha I love the part where Mike is playing with his food, and Ben got so upset.

[@ArchLich12]

The water heater is simple: I can guarantee that device was designed and produced in Asia with the Asian market in mind specifically because there are places on the continent with strong supply chains and access to power but no potable running water built into the local domestic infrastructure. Drinking water comes in bottles, full stop, and this is an easier way to heat it up for beverages rather than use a stove or microwave or whatever.

[@brycepatties]

There were what looked like Chinese characters on the front

[@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790]

Is it really easier than pouring the water into an electric kettle? This seems way more faff and way harder to clean than a bog standard kettle. Also I don't know about East Asia/South East Asia, but here in India, in cities where 'drinking water comes in bottles, full stop' they don't come in 1 or 2 L bottles. They come in 20 L bottles, on which we attach a dispenser. Inserting this pipe into the bottle would be more of a pain, because I would have to remove the dispenser - than dispensing some water into a kettle.

[@MrThedennisblack]

But that doesn’t in any way address the actual criticism of the product which is - why not just use a kettle instead? Whether or not you have running water is irrelevant. You can use bottled water just as easily in a kettle as you could with this thing.

[@charlottetooth1457]

My thoughts exactly

[@Duurti]

Laugh at shoe horns all you want, but when you get older and have a bad back you'll love them!!!

[@Guacward77]

If you’ve got a tiny kitchen or a camper/RV style kitchen, I can see the tiny kettle being a great benefit.

[@basstrammel1322]

Outlets in cars in general is getting more common, so I can see a great need for this. If it only was a bit more streamline-ly designed.

[@Gremalkin1979]

I agree. There are also small trailers for motorcycles that contains a tent and cooking gear. Some of them has a large battery or even small generator. So this would be great for it's small size and light weight.

[@helenswan705]

It's not that tiny. A travel kettle would take up less space.

[@tompw3141]

So get a small kettle then. One that doesn't spit out a cup of too-cold water. And can actually boil water for tea.

[@EmilyJelassi]

I got my nephew the building blick waffle maker because he lives blocks. His mom says that he loves it!!

[@CaptainGCN]

Having a specifically fun shaped waffle iron is a great novelty for a family with kids or children at heart. Years ago my mother got really into Pokemon Go and got a pokeball shaped waffle iron, and had a blast with it. I'd imagine this would serve a very similar case for kids who love Lego (or off-brand) blocks.

[@toni_go96]

Watching Ben absolutely lose his cool when Mike uses the tongs on the table suddenly gives perspective on a lot of throwaway remarks from older videos... That was a little scary 😂 I feel like there are probably other products in the market that solve the problem of heating water on the go, which are less bulky than a regular kettle and battery-operated. 🤷‍♀ The egg separator is just good fun, and again if you're trying to bake or cook with kids, they would have a lot of fun watching the eggs, just like Ben, Mike and Jamie did. 😂 I want to watch Barry and Kush use that waffle maker and build something fantastical. Build enough waffles for it to actually be used as building blocks. Reminds me vaguely of old-school sorted videos like the sandcastle cake. 😊😊

[@jellycatfish]

Instead of making a gingerbread decoration video, they could do a wafflehouse decoration video haha

[@elizabethrobertson850]

[@CrazySharp]

That hot water dispenser would be perfect for camping… I have a solar power system that also has an outlet built into it and it would be absolutely perfect for having a cup of coffee when you first start to set up camp before you even build a campfire… Absolutely love that

[@BathoryBat]

I've seen that egg separator on tiktok before, being used by someone who separates at least 5 dozen eggs at a time and I remember her saying that if she's using the egg whites for merengues, and one of the yolks breaks, she has time to move the egg white bowl out of the way before any yolk gets in, which is interesting. and then of course she has to clean the whole thing before continuing.

[@pingienator]

While I was in high school, I used to work in a bakery. I don't know how many eggs I've separated, but I know that it is many thousands. We had an egg separator very similar to this, except it was one long slide. It made that work so much easier.

[@MrDynamite110]

You guy should review kitchen gadgets from around the world and guess where they're from! As a Portuguese guy I think you guy should get a cataplana!

[@alexmontrose8004]

"It's got an angry end?!" Ha ha! Too many puns. Can't say any of these light my fire. I have a camping kettle that is so much better than that water heating thing. And I actually felt my soul leave my body when I saw those sausage tongs.

[@Lilly-1337]

The flat kettle thing would be awesome for dorm rooms. Most don't have their own kitchen but and often filthy shared one.

[@EchosOfSanity]

The egg separator is about to change my life. I was born with a disability that left me with only two fingers on my left hand and no hand on the right, just from my wrist up. I've adapted, learned ways to do dang near everything I want but separating eggs has always been a no go. Even the suck the yoke up in the plastic bottle was 50/50 at best. This thing, dude! I'll take 16 please!

[@Surisnek]

Good morning from America, Sorted! I hope everyone has a wonderful day today and thank you for bringing joy to my weekends!

[@NykieFoxx]

I love how Mike is enjoying annoying Ebbers with those tongs and poor Ebbers is just playing right into it 😂

[@marthahall1945]

Kettle: backpacking from hostel to hostel when you know you have access to a plug. Or hotels that only use pod style coffee/tea dispensers in the room. So you could make your own hot drink mix, oatmeal, instant noodle meals.

[@42neddy]

Mike's excitement when he got reminded of the word "concave" and yes i also am dying laughing over how mad Ebbers got 😂😂😂

[@CasualSpud]

Water dispenser would be good for a dorm room that doesn't allow appliances... sneaky

[@chrissystudiesx3]

I love these gadget videos where Ben tests them out (aside from cookbook videos) cuz he’s at his most chaotic state 😂

[@nscott7439]

Ben slamming the tongs on the table because of Mike's antics just screams frustrated parent.

[@lilydawson6343]

BEN : WHYYYYY💥🔨💥🔨😤😑😫😩😮😲😑😑😑 Meanwhile MIKE: NneeEOoowWWW🏎🏎💨💨💨🤩🤪🤩🤪🤩

[@jeandiatasmith4512]

Now imagine - making the waffles different colors. Along with several colored options for dipping. Waffles are find room temperature - the kids could have so much fun.

[@MisNorm98]

Mike I absolutely love it when you annoy Ben but I think you may have given him an aneurysm

[@jellycatfish]

That egg separator just made me think of a cat toy 😂 kittens would go wild for it!

[@GourmetAndGains]

You have a real talent for making everything flow so naturally! It’s like you’re in complete sync with your content. Definitely giving me a lot to think about for my own channel.

[@mmmmmmolly]

Poor Ben, exasperated by the very first one and 3 more to go 😂

[@MegaMiracle77]

Why is Mike looking like he's either seeing a ghost or having really bad gas at 15:16 😂😂

[@wildewynd]

Poker Face 2.0: Classics Edition. I was watching one of the old Poker Faces and think they should try them again in the new format. The burnt spices, garlic ball, over salted chocolate seem easy enough to hide in the group format.

[@tore650]

If I had a camper I would probably like that water heater. Look easy enough to mount somewhere where it would be out of the way and I would never have to worry about the kettle being secured for driving

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Yup, he flips!!!

[@Lirazel1986]

The 'anywhere you want as long as there is a plug socket' is how I described making calls with my first mobile phone nearly 20 years ago. And as there are already heating devices for travelling to put in a mug or such, this water heater would take more space I think.

[@katherinetusa181]

These gadgets reminded me of the classic old sorted videos - just ridiculous plastic and fun

[@elexisburton]

The travel kettle thing would be great for a cruise where normal kettles aren’t allowed in your cabin.

[@Tug0406]

Surely with the tongs you’re meant to hold the sausage on the sides at one end and then “using the power of gravity” it swings down because of the rotating part and it flips! I think I got more irate than Ebbers watching that.

[@HeadNodShy]

That's definitely how I've seen them being advertised to me.

[@TheSoltesz]

Man with a van here. With an inverter in my van, the water heater thing is amazing. Especially in winter

[@718united]

The puns are on point!

[@MarhaMuffin]

The flat kettle would fit in at a tiny apartment, like the steoritypically Japanese ones? The fact that it can be stored very compact compared to a normal kettle is the win of the gadget

[@tompw3141]

So just get a collapsible kettle!

[@MarhaMuffin]

@@tompw3141 didn't know that was a thing

[@JorddRust]

For the portable kettle thing, I’d use that in the back of an ambulance. Make pot noodles or tea/coffee if wanted. We have plugs and plenty of water!! 9:50

[@kjyost]

I would have liked a thermometer to check the water temp. The big issue is going into a small cool glass mug, you will lose some temp instantly too…. Paper/insulated cup is the best use case here.

[@alisongunnels6240]

The water heater fits in a cupboard or drawer. 100% love it.

[@rupertbear4447]

I chuckled way too much at that Lego pun dam you Jamie.

[@richbuilds_com]

That kettle would work in a caravan / campervan as it packs down small when not in use / travelling. Although you can get silicon kettles for your hob that pack down too. Good if your in an all electric camper.

[@DeAnoJackson]

That's the second pair of tongs that managed to piss Ebbers off 😂😂

[@TheKiingkiller]

i stay in hostols a lot and they don't always have kettles and the watter they have isn't always great. so being able to buy a cheap bottle of water and being able to have a coffee is really handly

[@yaywoow]

First item on the run plugged into a car adapter. For baby formula/beverages/cup soups and ramens

[@Targe0]

The flat pack kettle to me shouts backpacking or campgrounds use. Where you might not want to carry a full sized kettle and where they likely isn't going to be one on sight, but there might be a tap and an outlet. And given its size and that it can work from a bottle, it seems obvious that's the use case it was designed for.

[@marycasanova8905]

The hot water thing would be brilliant in hospital waiting rooms(avg wait 6-12 hours) dialysis center, (treatment 4 hours plus set up) all these places are kept cold, and there's never food or drink nearby. If you have to be there on the regular it would be a life saver.

[@anumeon]

Jamie should have said "How much did we shell out for the egg separator?" Unlike him to miss a pun

[@jonathangill6584]

The hot water dispenser would be great for Brits who do a lot traveling to the US for work. Many (dare I say most?) hotels/motels don’t have kettles. Which means having to use the coffee maker to spit out coffee tasting hot water. The water dispenser looks like it would fit easily in luggage.

[@philananeo1231]

I can’t believe that I actually like the egg separator😂. Things I never knew I wanted to exist

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Quote of the Day: “Does it take your blood to 80 degrees?”

[@LouKellett]

I love the waffle bricks, but is suspect I'd use it precisely once!

[@gateauxgato]

My mom has a different brand of the waffle maker and it works better. My niece was OBSESSED with it when she was about 5yo, and it was a great way to get her excited about breakfast. The long pieces are also a really good size for little hands, versus a regular waffle.

[@szubal]

I do a lot of roadtrips. I use an Aeropress for Coffee and my kettle takes up so much room in my food kit. Actually more room then my coffee press. The hot water gadget would great. Saves me a ton of room. The practically for instant ramen is also great.

[@HeWhoSlayethCain]

Mentioned it before, the Nordic Ware Indoor/Outdoor Kettle Smoker is an awesome piece of kit.

[@diodrama-24]

The hot water gadget, a hot brew on a train journey, in a library as stated. I would also use it on my desk whilst working. It seems quieter than normal hot water dispensers and would transfer to work if allowed drinks at your desk.

[@kjyost]

At least in North America we would say “axis” not axel, Ben. Also I just use my hand with a bunch of round wieners and roll the uncooked side over a bit when I have dozens at a time. Just a few? Regular tongs FTW. 2:58

[@milkisblueberries]

the egg separator would be such an awesome idea to have at home with kids! making cakes for parties and stuff!

[@Getpojke]

Axis, Axis, AXIS! (not Axle). 😆

[@djfletchful]

Ben taking the term ‘banga’ to a whole new level

[@hcjkruse]

the sausage turning tongs make sense for people with dexterity issues or RSI. Cleaning them might be an issue.

[@neruneri]

Mild pushback on the kettle thing: kettles are ubiquitous in the UK, but this is not the case everywhere. If you were travelling around in the US for example, none of the listed places would by default have a kettle.

[@Marchesa-ku9fx]

I remember when Sorted visited the Mythical Kitchen and were totally gobsmacked there was no kettle. Would have come in handy!

[@stephaniemoore-fuller9082]

I was going to say the same thing!

[@HumbleWooper]

Yep, hotels/motels in the States have either a drip coffee pot or sometimes a K-cup machine. Sure we CAN make tea with those, but the water will probably taste a bit coffee-ish.

[@ShellyS2060]

Ok here's my three for the kettle 1- any hotel room in America ( there will probably be a tiny coffee maker) 2- a dorm room (where you are not supposed to have appliances, but most students do anyway) 3- bus stations

Places/situations to use the 2nd item: (1) Dorm rooms (2) Your bedroom if you are sick and being isolated from the rest of the house (3) If it has a car outlet adapter it would be useful for road trips.

[@dragon12234]

Also, camping if you have a powerbank or something

[@threetoast]

All places where you could just use a regular electric kettle.

[@Marzi29]

(4) A train, many trains have plug sockets but certainly no kettles!

[@vickyvic8619]

@@threetoast Yes, but the shape makes for easier storage, which is great when you are limited on space.

[@Monochromatic_Spider]

Why wouldn't you just use a kettle in your dorm room or your bedroom? Or use a kettle in the kitchen, fill up a thermos? Only place I see any use is if space is at a premium and you want the option of a kettle without the normal bulk.

[@Dogoodah]

The second gadget is actually very useful in long train or car trips. Pretty good.

[@nat3007]

So those sausage tongs turn Ben into the Hulk apparently.

[@JudyCZ]

I feel like the water heater could be great for parents with young children (Jamie made me think of it). You could pull it up in a public bathroom and have a bottle of formula ready at the perfect temperature in seconds. And it can easily fit in the stroller bag. Edit: Possibly 45°C is a bit too hot for that, though...?🤔

[@HexGirlThorn]

Aha!!! I can't believe the gadget I showed you showed up in an episode!!! (egg separator). Thank you so much for featuring it.

[@KirstydoesYT]

Honestly I was expecting jokes with the egg seperator doing basically what a hand can do😂

[@djtrukka]

The “kettle” would be ideal in caravans where you are dry camping and using your electrics off your leisure batteries and not attached to mains hookup.

[@MidnightSunna]

Honestly the egg separator would be brilliant around the holidays when your egg nog from scratch, making pies or cakes, or any sort of large friends or family cooking And the waffle maker would be brilliant for making finger food platters and dipping sticks just put a weight on top if you want even waffles

[@Blondie42]

Ben outraged is hilarious. 😂
