Microwave, Kettle & Toaster ONLY Battle | Sorted Food 

Barry's kettle on the hob is definitely breaking the rules, he essentially made a pot out of it

Its like the adults have gone out and the kids have been left to fend for themselves 😂😂😂

Barry broke the rules, the spirit of the challenge is about not using the stove or oven, whereas he's arguing the only thing that matters is the shape of the vessel. Mike bent the rules and stated fully in parameters by using the toaster as the source of heat for his pan. This while challenge basically boils down to not using the easiest heat sources, so Barry definitely broke and Mike bent

"Deglazing the kettle" sounds like a euphemism that nobody asked for.

Jamie desperately trying to grab his toast as he makes it pop out of the toaster while saying they’re definitely still normals is the most NORMAL behaviour

for me, the point of the brief was a restriction on the heat sources used, not the cooking vessels used... so Barry's hob usage was a break of the rules, whereas the frying pan on top of the toaster was totally within the spirit of the rules

I love their shrieks of joy when something actually works.

I did miss the guys explaining the rules. I know it's in the title but it's helpful to hear them say exactly how what they had in mind

Barry, Jamie and Mike when there are no chefs in the building: In our defense we were left unsupervised😅

Hob = breaking the rules Pan on toaster = totally fine Also, AMAZING video!

The boy’s creativity in this was amazing! Better than their last kettle, microwave, toaster battle for sure. Mike is an ultimate winner, the bread and caramel were so impressive

Mike, once again proving why he's my Sorted Sous Chef

Things I never thought I'd hear Jamie say "I've got to deglaze my pan oh I mean my kettle" lol 🤣🤣🤣

I love fondue bourguignon, and I think Barry did a fantastic job with all the accoutrement (the chips, the sauces, the kebabs). Still, I must agree with the majority and say that using the hob did break the rule, even if it was for a kettle. I'm also glad that Mike won this battle. He did some research and found something really original to cook for this battle, and it paid off since it totally worked and was delicious. I also liked how Jamie used his electric kettle as a saucepan and how he toasted his croutes in and on the toaster, but his dish was not as wild as Mike's, so I think second place is fitting for his offering.

I agree that Barry's assessment "It is an oil bomb" was correct HOWEVER........ Barry BREAKs the rules here. And I love it that Mike was sure it would be horrible and it turned out so well. All that aside - damned good job guys. It looked really tasty.

This is actually such a lovely community - none of the top comments are saying which one they think is the worst, its all just commenting on how unhinged the entire episode was 😂

The only word I can used to describe this is "unhinged". And I'm completely here for it. Well done gang

I love these ridiculously silly restrictive battles 😂 watching you 3 try to make recipes in unusual and ridiculous appliances is exactly what I needed today😂😂 The fact that you were able to make anything is hilarious. I think Baz is breaking the rules.. no hob means "NO HOB!"

Gah, you were literally close to following your brief for a change, but then Barry happened! 🤣 Using a forth electrical cooking device is definitely breaking the rules.

I love this video! I used to help teach people how to cook using all sorts of appliances instead of the normal stove/oven situation. It was in a low income area which was also a food desert. So we'd get whatever food was available at the nearby shops and maybe supplement with food bank items and then cook them using different things that weren't the "normal" cooking method. The goal was to help them cook healthier meals than the junk food that was easiest. Really enjoyed doing that.

Barry's bearnaise sauce makes me want an episode on various ways to make bearnaise, and which ones are "good enough". You can buy store bought. You can buy powders. You can do it like Barry did. You can do it the "proper" way. There are a ton of "cheats" that people claim are good and easier than the "proper" way.

13:04 Barry's "bending!" cracked me up. Though to clarify, in my opinion, Mike bent while Barry broke. Disqualification or at least last place for him. Mainly because Mike bent when his plan wasn't working, while Barry intended to use the hob all along.

Gotta love the chaotic videos once in a while - this is why Sorted is the best thing going. One minute we are testing 7-course Michelin Star boxes, the next - BARRY IS BREAKING THE RULES AGAIN IN A SILLY FORMAT.

Mike: "I've knocked up a bread dough." Literal baby in the oven.

Paul Hollywood will have a stroke watching Mike bake bread. I love it, BRAVO!

fun fact: there are now a couple of brands of microwave safe stainless steel containers. no special coating, just math on how to shape the metal to NOT induce arcs. They work lovely.

5:44 lol, replaying Barry’s excited squeal

While Barry definitely broke the rules, the food he made seemed really interesting and honestly reminded me of some Japanese restaurants where you cook your food at your table. On the flip side, I was sure Jamie's kettle was going to blow up, but the fact it turned out as well as it did blows my mind. And, naturally, Mike's French toast looked absolutely amazing. Well done all 'round!

Although Barry's sauce in a microwave was impressive, he did break the rules by using the hob with his 'camping kettle' (which looked suspiciously brand new and has never seen a campfire), whereas Mike just bent them a bit with the skillet on top of the toaster. Winning order: Mike, Jamie, Barry.

Barrys excitement over the burnese after he thought it was ruined 😂😂😂 that scream he did reminded me of Ross from Friends when he gets excited with Phoebe an Rachel (cos they trying to stop him seein Monica an Chandler) 🤣🤣🤣🤣 x

Barry as usual does whatever he feels like, while Jamie and Mike try their best. Barry will never learn until he is held to account

you are all winners and helped me figure out how to cook something wonderful in my garage mini-kitchen whilst my home is being renovated

You should do an alphabet challenge. Each choose a letter at random and every ingredient has to start with that letter.

"I feel like its gonna explode" thats how every episode should start😂😂

I think Jamie's spot on with this. Barry was definitely break the rules because he used the hob while Mike was bending it.

I love the creativity!! Defenitely just bending the rules. The fondue looks delicious, but if you were to do this at home, I recommend using a fondue set just for safety. The other dishes look delicious too. But I don't know if it would be even safe to try at home

I really like the “no testing” of this challenge and do hope the normals do a lot more challenges like this going forwards, without having the team test them in the kitchen. It makes the whole thing a lot more intense because you can’t guarantee that all of their shenanigans will work.

Jamie at 3:03 pulling that face to the camera following mike saying he's taking the internets advice knowing full well he's about to put garlic into a kettle is a thing of beauty

I love the throwback 3 man battle where you all cook at the same time. some of the best videos on sorted

Barry’s 100% breaking the rules but I like his logic behind it 😂

Barry absolutely broke the rules using the hob. Othewise it was amazing to see everything they made, knowing full well they used only the microwave, kettle, and toaster. Brilliant! More challenges like this, please.

The thought process and psychology of each are off the charts today…Barry: miraculous confidence, Jamie: belief in the impossible, Mike: depression and what’s the opposite of confidence? 😂 love to see their projects work out when they do!

This was just the best. Thanks Normals.

Creative use of in-game mechanics. Barry bent the rules and made it work.

Mike’s was definitely the winner today. Fantastic dish despite the odds

Barry broke the rules, but also avoided clean up. Mike definitely took this battle by leaps and bounds.

Loved this one! Crazy how many of the foods worked out, even when it didn’t look like they would 🙌

I love these lads so much, each one for a different reason, but Jamie is the exact level of "fuck it let's go!" I celebrate ❤😂

"no chefs in the building" means that there's a high chance for some chaos. hell yeah 😂😂

I think Mike made some unique happy accidents in his bread making by a)using a microwave to rise and bake it, b)cutting it while piping hot, before the crumb had a chance to set properly, and c)toasting it before soaking and frying it, and all that contributed to something akin to an overmixed cake where too much gluten formed, aka a very cakey pillowy bread

Jamie’s the winner for me on this one! He did a fantastic job with his and really followed the rules to a tee! 👏🏻 👏🏻

All of them have come a long way. These are all very impressive dishes.

While I whole-heartedly agree with Barry in the regard that the camping kettle was the safest option between that and the glass kettle; it is absolutely a broken rule as the hob was off limits. I also think that Mike using a pan over the toaster was a bend of the rule and would totally be allowed as he was still using the toaster to heat his bread; not the hob. But I'd say Mike is the winner as it was the most impressive to me and via disqualification due to a rule break, Barry would be the loser (although his food did look great).

Am I alone in noticing Barry taking a bite of the red peppe chunk he had in hand while marveling at Mike making caramel... and then skewering that same piece to cook and serve?

The ad that played for me was a full episode of an animated spiderman show. Full 25min episode. I took screen shots it was awesome. Sorted with a spiderman intermission. Great episode also. I am definitely trying the microwave bread!

Jamie's udon seabass was very creative and I can imagine seeing this in a restaurant. Great job from everyone!

The spirit of challenge seems very clearly "don't use a stove or oven", not "your cooking vessel must be a particular shape". Barry used a stove. Mike used the toaster, creatively.

The sound out of Barry when he realized his sauce had worked must've woken up every dog in London lmao. He also ABSOLUTELY broke the rules. XD

this video is actually amazing im so impressed

Barry BROKE the rules 100000000% ….. in the spirit of the challenge you’d think the sous chef would be held doubly accountable 😂😂😂

I love the creativity !! Especially Jamie’s use of the kettle! Super impressive guys☺️

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THESE BATTLE VIDEOS!! :D

That squeal Barry made gave me life 🤣🥰

Ive done toaster french toast before (admittedly with shop bought bread). I used a toastie bag on the bread to then cook the french toast in the toaster not on top of

I love how ridiculously insane this is!!! No chef would ever consider these techniques! It’s hysterical!

That Baz squeal 😂

More battles like this please

It’s incredible what you guys were able to pull off!

Barry is 100% breaking the rules as the only electrical appliances you could use were a Microwave, Kettle & Toaster.

All three dishes were SO impressive, the boys were in top form!

For the bearnaise, should have only melted the butter in the microwave. Then whisk fast and pour the butter slowly to the rest.

Barry mate that is a total rule break using the hob. Love it tho more of this kettle micro toaster cooking chefs version plz

I love these kind of battles.

Nope. Absolutely absolutely broken! TAKE THE APRON!! Also Jamie, I notice the lid stayed on that kettle! ;) haha.

Best part was AB(ove) Normal! I love it!

The hob kettle is the same as an electric kettle... The others are just mad they didn't think about it first... :-D If we get picky, the regular oven function of the microwave is is not really microwaving. Still really creative and fun to watch!

I'm not even 5 minutes in but this is easily one of the most hilarious battles you've ever done.

Barry definitely broke the rules with the kettle on the hob!

I'm often restricted to the microwave, toaster and kettle as I can't actually cook. But one thing I do is cook slices of spam in the toaster. Most people think that sounds weird, but it's actually a really healthy way to cook spam. 4 or 5 minutes (depending on how good the toaster is) and it's nicely done for a couple spam sandwiches

Nice meals by Jamie and Mike. Nice sauces Baz 😉

Barry!! Used!! A!! HOB!!!! That was a very obvious way of breaking a rule guys

Breaking the rules absolutely

One thing im really jealous is these guys gather and doing that stuff and their wifes/partners cant say anything as this is a job! 🤣🤣 Love you guys keep up the great videos

I had to already rewind this video 3 times to see if I read Jamie saying he is going to add olive oil to a kettle, and that I wasn’t mis reading. It’s going to be a good video I can tell.

This is one of the best videos you have made. Freaking love it

Jamie's making a savory main dish, Mike's baking and Barry is as ever the wild card. 😂

In terms of following the rules: Jamie wins. In terms of impressiveness while following the rules: Barry In terms of Mike: baking bread without an oven or traditional heat source is neat.

Barry is definitely braking the rules

I love you guys as a chef this stuff trips me out

All went with the rules as written. Bravo!

Mike ABSOLUTELY deserves the win here - even if it was a series of miracles. LOL I think while Barry's sauces in a microwave was brilliant - he DID technically break the rules, so I think he loses by default - even if Jamie's was essentially bowl ramen that wasn't instant, but the cooking methods would be EXACTLY what I used to do in my college dorm. XD

Baz - Disqualified !!😂😂😂

Barry definitely broke the rules no question about it, the moment i saw the camping kettle i knew he should be disqualified for such blatant disregard for a competition, also as punishment, Barry has to do a recipe from any chef book on his own while Jamie and Mike criticise him on the side lines

This is such an excellent video, loved every second of it! How about waffle-iron as the only heat source? Or a miniature food challenge!

My podium order would be Mike, Jaime and Barry, with a disqualification for Barry! Hob was definitely breaking the rules haha, cooking (i.e. heating) appliances allowed were kettle, toaster, microwave - which is why I think what Mike did was actually within the rules imo

Using the hob, breaking the rules get him out of here! 😂 Pan on the toaster, bending but as fine as the bread tin

Barry definitely broke the rules. His kettle clearly wasn't in the spirit of the challenge.

Definitely breaking that rule with the kettle! It's about using those three appliances! Mike's fine with the pan over the toaster though.

breaking the rules for sure. Great challenge and video!

I love these cooking with gadgets/appliances videos. They have to be very creative, and Mike proved it. Barry does have to be disqualified for using the hob, but heating oil in something with a spout like that seems massively dangerous. Wouldn't he have to keep the hob on under it to keep the oil at a good temperature as well? Kudos to Mike and Jamie though. I think if Jamie's broth had been hotter before he poured it, or the ingredients sliced thinner, the dish would have cooked as intended.
