Every time Ben does one of these challenges I realise that I REALLY need to get an oven safe pan, it expands your world of one pot cooks so much!!! Amazing video as per usual guys :)

@knuffelmuff7682 Год назад

I got one for christmas last year and it has become my most used utensil in the kitchen, maybe apart from my favorit spoon

@MaikNL Год назад

Same I only have a load of pans with silicon handles.

@KenS1267 Год назад

Get one stainless steel skillet if nothing else. If you're just cooking for yourself you can do almost everything in it and they are very cheap. Just get a couple of pot holders or kitchen towels to use for getting it out of the oven and wrapping the handle until it cools off.

@DonNorway Год назад

Woll have some pans that have oven proof handles, or handles that can be detached. Many of them also have life time warranties

@kiwiamy Год назад

There's also nothing stopping you from tipping out of frypan into an oven dish or oven tray - it is an extra dish, and not the same shape/size, but is good enough for a home cook approximation 😊

@kieranpierre4841 Год назад

It was only after moving in with some new roommates that I realized how much watching you guys has impacted the way I grew up cooking. My roommates have no sense of what they plan to cook when they buy groceries for the week, they eat mainly frozen meals, and the fresh food they do buy ends up going bad and being thrown out by the end of the week. And worst thing is we're running out of fridge space with everything they buy and never eat. Watching you guys for the last 5 years has given me not just endless inspiration for easy healthy cooking, but I'm also more conscious of cost and waste than many of my peers, so thank you Sorted!

@etuanno Год назад

Oh yeah, our fridge is always full too. Luckily we have our separate compartments in the fridge, I do have to throw out stuff of them every so often because the mold will make my stuff go bad quicker too. My way to cook is very straight forward, I love stews and make them a lot. This means I can thow in basically anything left over.

@Mattsnotyours Год назад

Without a doubt, as much as I love Pass It On, the Grocery Shop challenges where the normals have a go, then the Chefs show us how it's done, are my FAVOURITE Sorted videos.

I've been cooking (or at least helping) since I was old enough to see over the bowls on the table (while standing on a chair). About half a century now (almost as long as Ben). I don't know that I would ever follow a recipe that you show, but the tips, tricks, hacks, and inspiration keep me coming back for every video (and rewatching them!). I've learned SO much from y'all. You've shown me foods I've never even heard of, and opened my eyes to so many new cuisines (which says a lot, when put into the context of how much I've traveled). I've said it before, and I will say it again: Thank you!

This was GREAT! I love the Entertainment side of Sorted, but sometimes I feel like the Food part of "Foodtainment" is forgotten and lost in the zaniness sometimes. I know y'all gotta make money (and by all means, go for it!) and the app is the way to do that, but having a few actual recipes planned, methods explained, and all fully taught here in 10 minutes is amazing. Would love more of that, or a return to more of that! :) There's just enough cuts and editing to keep to time, but no important information left out (which also can happen pretty easily). This is what got me into you guys in the first place, well done! Definitely going in the recipes lists.

I agree! Fully enjoy all the entertainment but recipe labs or other concepts like it would be good to have more of amidst said entertainment. I’m a proud packs enjoyer, and I know the recipes have moved there for the most part, but I do enjoy seeing them here in video format as well!

I think dumping the bag of coriander on top of the curry was a bit of a cop out. I'm pretty sure there would be bunches of that leftover in the pan or on people's plates after you finished eating, making it not actually be used up. The rest of the dishes were good from both sides though.

@SolarisRe Год назад

Love this series, especially seeing the perspectives of chefs vs normals. Though I do have a question, I was always told by other chefs and cooks to never cut proteins (especially raw chicken) on the same board as your veg, but here Ben did exact that, does it not matter too much if it’s all going into the same pot? Thanks, and love what you guys do, keep it up!

@Mojova1 Год назад

Chef here. It doesn't matter if everything is cooked. Never do that if you don't cook the veg also. 🙂 Also wooden cutting boards are actually more hygienic then plastic ones because the wood pushes the dirt out of the cuts that the knife makes.

It’d be interesting to put the normals more in the audiences shoes and have Ben cook his dishes first, then the normals (knowing what it’s supposed to be) have to figure out how to make something different than what he did.

@adde9506 Год назад

That sounds fun. I'd like to see one where they listen but can't see what he's doing. The measurements he gives are wildly wrong (usually magnitudes more than stated) and that must impact the flavor of the dish. They make what he said (with level measuring spoons like sane people) and then see if it tastes good; they have to correct it if it doesn't. Then Ben tastes it to see if it's right.

@Sasha-1313 Год назад

That depends on where you live in the US. A lot of places, even a lot of relatively remote towns, do have a Thai restaurant or takeaway, in my experience. Or many Chinese restaurants do some type of curry; a Singaporean noodle dish is usually more or less a dry-style curry. And of course if there’s an Indian restaurant somewhere near you, you’re spoilt for choice. Unless you really live in the middle of absolute nowhere, you can probably find something not too far from you. Enjoy the hunt, you never know what will turn up!

No one who wants curry should be deprived! 😊

@mokajones74 Год назад

Honestly the only difference between the normals and a line cook at this point is the experience of quickly cooking the same 10 recipes over and over all night. With the experience theyve gained from this channel, theyre more knowledgeable than most professional cooks I know.

@noahgray5229 Год назад

I think you should try a grocery shop challenge, just moved in edition - ie no storecupboard ingredients as you wouldn't have them yet. I'm thinking it might be interesting as a different challenge, and whoever decides what to buy could make it more difficult. I feel my midweek dishes lack real variety as with the limited time it's too easy to most often go with a combo of veg/fruit/meats and rice or pasta, although there's lots of variation in flavours, one day more italian, sometimes more asian etc, it's often a bit "samey" in terms of texture. Maybe that's another challenge to add to the channel, same ingredients for two normals let's say, but both have to come up with wildly different dishes. not in terms of overall flavour but experience and texture, and then have Ben and Kush redo it but better. That's where I feel my cooking lacks most

@lauraslittlelife Год назад

Idk if this has already been done, but I'd love to see a "last minute substitutions" challenge/battle at some point! Basically, in advance, the boys are given a theme for an upcoming challenge and asked to develop a recipe following that theme. however, on filming day, they're told that the theme is actually "ingredient substitutions" and one/several of their key ingredient(s) get(s) taken away. They must now find a way to substitute this/these ingredient(s) while still following the recipe as closely as possible. Example: They're asked to come up with a recipe for an upcoming "breakfast"-themed challenge. Barry's recipe includes a poached egg. However, on filming day, the eggs needed for his recipe are taken away. He now has to come up with somwthing that resembles a poached egg...but without actually using an egg. I'd love to see how they would handle that situation and what substitutions they would come up with! The chaos would be hilarious and having to substitute certain ingredients for others at the last minute is probably something most people can relate to, so this video might actually also be somewhat educational??

@goranpersson7726 8 месяцев назад

I mean sure you could, if you're very strapped for cash. but honestly I mostly just look at these for ideas as I find that most of them would not give me my caloric intake needs nor protein ones (like i'd have to eat like 4-5 of the portion sizes they usually suggest to get the caloric intake need per day which is not really every gonna be the plan as while I do eat 4-5 times a-day I prefer if some of those meals are lighter and heavier ones being when I have the time for it) the protein intake need however? ye i'd have to supplement with even more powder in which case the powder would not be a cheap way to get that lil extra needed if i've been missing some in my meal planning which it currently is because i'd have to buy way more. I am underweight so granted i'm eating more than what I need to maintain my bodyweight but that's because im on the edge of it being a serious health problem instead of a minor one, so I *need* to bulk up

@goranpersson7726 8 месяцев назад

You should do an episode where 80% of what you buy has to be on sale, and include a few cupboard staples in the purchase. Food is getting so expensive in North America that it would be interesting to see what you guys can do with how a lot of people are forced to shop.

@goranpersson7726 Год назад

you really really need to plan around sales if you're gonna use them otherwise you'll just end up buying something that will need 50 other things to make a proper meal out of that arent on sale ending up costing more (bit exagerated) i pretty much never use sales or any such, only if it's on something i was gonna buy anyways. even if i the things needed to make a meal out of something that was on sale it usually already planned to be used for something else screwing up the rest of the planning. sales are quite often just bad for the consumer

@emmanaughton8694 Год назад

@goranpersson7726 that's the whole challenge of it. Being able to plan meals around sale items, keeping in budget, and using all of what you purchased. I'm a young professional that has to use sales to stay within budget. I would like to see other people take on the challenge and provide a different view of it, use their chefy skills and create. Shopping with or with sales requires planning to utilize all the food but I want to see what they can do with the limitations. It's a very real reality for people and I hope it can help people find more accessible foods and recipes.

I would have sauted the courgettes to add colour and develop flavour , quickly fry chopped chicken , add green paste to develop flavour then add coconut milk, cook for while and then add the courgettes back for 10 minutes to cook them through but keep them from going mushy and cook rice separately

I love it when there’s the ‘step by step’ recipes. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy the ‘fun/silly’ episodes. But the actual recipe episodes seem to be less and less and more of a treat. Well done!

@AnnabelSmyth Год назад

I agree. I don't really care for the "silly" episodes - but others love them, so....

@zanadoo1979 Год назад

Totally agree. The fact that there were quantities given means I'm actually going to have a go at the orzo oven bake. I appreciate the lads want to steer us to sidekick for recipes but it's nice to have details within a video - if it's any good I'd be more likely to give the app a try.

It's something you notice with amateur/home cooks. They tend to blow all of their fresh protein in one dish, whereas Ben spread that chicken out over two. (And if he'd roasted off that chicken skin instead of throwing it away it would have been nice sprinkled over the minestrone dish for a third use.) Especially chicken seems to be eaten at almost every meal nowadays. Though I grew up on a farm with chickens & other animals, meat was more of a treat. If we had a roast chicken for Sunday lunch, that one bird would feed four at that meal. then there would be leftovers for a sandwich or to add to another meal like a risotto & the carcass would go in the soup with any scraps & help feed us for a couple more days. It saves a lot of money & gets everything out of the bird. I like the ethos of this new series, times are tough & we have to train/retrain ourselves to make the most of what we have.

@TedBarton91 Год назад

I work in food production, I have such a hard time convincing people who never experience or research any part of the process that we pay far too little for our food. Four quid for a whole chicken? Yeah I’m only eating the breast and throwing the rest away. Charge fifteen quid for it, what it’s worth, and you bet people make damn sure they get the most out of it.

@Getpojke Год назад

@@TedBarton91 There was a program a few years back teaching people to get the most out of their food with the excellent Allegra McEvedy. One chap used to buy a whole rotisserie chicken & just eat the breasts like you say. He actually thought that the rest of the chicken wasn't safe or edible. It amazed me. I still eat meat, only from the good local butcher. It costs more, but I don't need as much as the quality is so good & the animal welfare is excellent. We don't need our meals to be so meat heavy. Even our hunter gatherer forebears only derived about 30% of their calories from meat. So I'm with you, food prices should reflect their true value of production & the farmers should get more of it than the supermarkets.

@sbo3 9 месяцев назад

@@TedBarton91 no-one is spending £15 on a whole chicken. If you think people can afford that, you are really out of touch. It doesn't matter if it is worth that or not, if people can't afford it then it's not being bought. If it's not being bought then...well, I don't think farmers would be all too happy.

@shachiphene Год назад

Love all this, and Ben is always impressive. My only issue is with the whole bag of coriander - just because you put it all on the dish, doesn’t mean it’s not going to be wasted. It’s unrealistic that someone is going to eat all that coriander in that form, especially not chopped up. It would have been better to chop it and incorporate some of it into the cooking process (the stems if chopped finely enough actually work great in the base of a dish) and maybe even use some of it in the soup dish instead.

@Southpaw535 Год назад

Herbs are the one thing I find Sidekick is a bit weird with in portions. Don't blame them for that, they're stuck dealing with them only being sold in 30g bags and needing to use it all up. But it is a useful thing to try and plan another meal for that will also use them and then reduce the recipe amounts a little.

@mortiiboii Год назад

@danielHL824 Год назад

Wow, that was great! I can totally see me cooking all six dishes myself (okay, i would probably make/modify them vegeterian/vegan most of the time...). Thanks for putting it up and explaining most of the details so we can cook along. I'm not really the target audience for sidekick (rather advanced "normal" home cook here...) so I really love it if there are enough details in the video to try it myself (I can understand that you don't usually give complete recipes away for free!)

I would love to see a blackout episode, like... how to deal with a prolonged power outage. Let's say you have the option to cook still (camping equipment, grill, propane hob), how should you deal with ingredients to minimize loss as the temperature in fridge and freezers rise?

@nixi-bixi Год назад

We don't really have prolonged power outages in the U.K.. We don't have the weather issues that the USA does that causes them, the weather we do have isn't extreme either, so even in a rare case of powerlines going down it would be very localised and repaired pretty quick because we're on a small island so nothing is that far away. Our power grid is much more stable and can be amped up or down depending upon necessity unlike texas for example. If power went out at mine and it was estimated to be over 12hrs (very unlikely) I'd pack up anything valuable frozen wise and take it to a friend's or family members place to put in their freezer. As unlikely it is for my power to be out, it would be inconceivable for my friend living in the black country 20 mins away or my mother just under an hour away in a totally different city would also have a power cut.
