RICE Recipe Relay Challenge | Pass it On S2 E16 | Sorted Food 

Idea: Random Ingredient. At the start of each of their turn they have to draw a random ingredient out of a hat and they must find a way to use it in the dish.

order idea: time malfunction. the 50 mins is divided into uneven time slots (12 mins, 8 mins etc) times are drawn out of a bowl and the guys go in order of longest to shortest.

Jamie: we need a strong, cheffy start. How about James? James: I'm starting with an ingredient even I've never heard of.

everyone reading the instructions: "Cover with a lid" **promptly forgets it*

Ben is almost too good at this. His ability to cut through so many different visions and directions, and cultivates a dish almost out of thin air...it's absolutely extraordinary. Frankly he's a bloody wizard, I'm convinced.

I loved that little zoom in on Ben as James was describing the instructions that were ignored

I love how Jamie said " chef, normal, normal, chef, *barry* " Bc Barry is his own category 😂😂😭

I laughed out loud when Janice said, “Barry artistically applies lashings of Greek yogurt to the PILE”

Guys:"We seem to be on a roll these days. Haven't failed one in ages." Jamie: "Hold my GRILLED CELERY"

"I've left the hob on for him. It's his comfort space" 😂😂

I liked Ben's face when James mentioned the rice had perfect water ratio.

“The Rice Crispies are good coz you can’t really taste them” James is so delightfully snarky.

yooo pls give the editors a raise 😭😆 that music stopping and "who's grilling celery?" from ben literally made me cry laughing this is peak comedy 🤣

Barry has a lot of "I'm an anxiety-riddled artist and someone asked me to draw them something in the next 5 minutes" energy.

This had such the energy of "I have a strange assortment of ingredients left in the kitchen 'cause I haven't been grocery shopping in several weeks and I guess I'll just put them together and that'll be dinner??"

The poor fennel and tomatoes in the oven T_T Also DYING at the slow panning towards Ben's "There wasn't a lid on that rice" guilty face lmaooo

Honestly, Ben is a wizard. He has to be. Every time they do a pass it on I am SO impressed with his ability to bring everything together, stay calm, and still explain his thought process and rational in a way that let's me feel like I'm learning something.

I think that a fun order would be "unknown". Each person doesn't know who came before or who will come after them. This way they don't know if they can rely on a chef to come behind and finish it.

i can't hope to express in words the blank bewilderment that washed over me when Jamie poured puffed rice cereal into a pan and proclaimed 'Popcorn!"

Janice: “ no, no dont do it” *grabs rice krispies* Janice: “cue his music 😒”

Id love to see a recipe relay where the end goal is a gingerbread house for christmas time.

Barry dribbling fried rice krispies over black rice and raw celery while desperately screaming "WHAT IS THIS!!!" is such a 2020 mood....

That slow zoom on Ben as James explained that the rice had exactly the right amount of water already on it made me snort laugh 😂

"I have left the hob on, its his comfort space" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"I've left the hob on for him. It's his comfort space." My 2020 has been saved, I'm laughing my head off 😂

After seeing Bens face when James describes the process to cook the rice, I need to see the reaction of this relay episode.

Me during Mike's turn: The lid. The lid Mike. MICHAEL THE FLIPPING LID

Jaime scoring himself so low while smiling at the chaos he knows he caused is just...

Jamie was given the power to decide the order, Mike immediately shouts " You idiots!". Sums up video perfectly!

"I've left the hob on for Barry, it's his comfort space" is peak comedy, thank you Ben

I'm not gonna lie, when they pulled their blindfolds off I laughed so hard I cried. Poor Barry and his panic mode

I mean, I’m kinda proud of Barry that his first thought was “turn all the hobs off”.

'If I were a blackbird..' was an incredibly unexpected sentence.

I've noticed a pattern in these challenges: Normals: see any kind of vegetable on the table --> idk let's roast it xD

Order suggestion: How about a pairs video, where everyone gets two outings at a different stage of the cooking, and with a different partner each time. So for example: 1. Ben and Barry 2. James and Jamie 3. Mike and Barry 4. Ben and Jamie 5. James and Mike

barry drains the rice The Uncle Roger within me: You DRaainNing thE RiCe

I love that James left the pack so people could read the instructions to cook the rice, and the 1st person (Mike) to do so, read them and ignored them ... sums up the team I feel :D

Jamie: RICE KRISPIES Janice: "...Play his music"

I’d love to see a version of pass it on where everyone draws a random “advantage” (e.g. more time, an assistant, etc.) and “disadvantage” (e.g. cooking with one hand, blindfolded) that they have to adhere to while cooking

Barry's desperate panic over trying to make the final dish look good is an entire mood.

The slow push in to Ben when James is talking about the lid. Beautiful stuff.

Ben's face and "interesting" when James explained what should have happened with the rice 😂

I'd love to see an episode where someone goes first AND last They start off the idea, and then they come back after everyone has messed it up and have to rethink the whole thing

Janice made a very good point, the normals have been part of a cooking RU-vid channel for over 10 years yet they’re still somehow so clueless at times 😂

Strangely the most British thing I’ve heard in a while. “Mise en place mate. Mise. En. Place.”

“The Rice Krispies are good because you can’t really taste them” 😂😂😂😂

Jaime was completely the agent of chaos in this episode. I feel like he went into this wondering how much he could throw everyone after him off lmao

Barry’s thought process when plating is so interesting! I’d love to see him explain some of his most beautiful plates of food and how/why he decided to plate them like that. Hearing him talk here about not liking the plate, ‘going angles’, etc., I think that could be a great way to give some tips to home cooks about little things they could do to improve their presentation skills at home - and maybe a video with everyone cooking different dishes, and Barry plating them up and talking it through. It’s been interesting to hear Ben and James talk through their thoughts in how to approach a new ingredient, or what to do in Pass It On, so I think something similar about presentation skills would be interesting.

Mike: *knows exactly how long to cook hallumi* Also Mike: *does not recognize celery*

Commenters: "the normals are too experienced now to be normals" Mike: "what is this!?" Jamie: "can you grill celery?" Barry: "yogurt"

Honestly James’s “where the... DISH?!” Gets me every time in the intro 😂

Ebbers is amazing. Walks in on chaos and makes it orderly

Jamie: I feel like we should have another rice element. Everybody: Why? Jamie: *grabs rice crispies* Everybody: WHY???

love how savage Mike gets as Janice when flaming himself.

"Play his music" broke me. Always love the Janice commentary but that was gold. I put this video on to distract me so the crying I could feel coming wouldn't and now I'm just broken in the best way. Thank you so much to all, both those behind the scenes and in front of the camera. For the first time today I dont feel like there is a terrible weight in my chest.

Pass it on idea: Jamie's daughter comes in and chooses 15 ingredients that the guys should be cooking.

Just wanna thank you guys really quick. You've consistently posted all throughout this year and that must've been extremely stressful. You've adapted the format of your content so seamlessly - and you've still managed to educate us while entertaining us. Editing is always top notch, the conceptual quality of your videos never fails to interest and inspire me. You guys are great. And I feel greatful (hAhA) to be a part of this amazingly witty and kind community that you have created around yourselves. So thanks, Sorted! Much love.

you know they're never gonna check the oven or fridge when janice starts passive aggressively commenting about it

You can see the moment Ben decided to do a "How to cook rice like a chef" video.

i know you all aren't as fond of the Pass It On challenges, but I learn more from them than many of the others because the time pressure encourages creativity on the fly and seeing the turning around of an unexpected development into an edible learning experience that stengthens your knowledge for the future is really helpful.

No matter what happens I think we can all agree that if Ben was first he would have done a risotto.

Did Jaime just chuck some rice Krispies in a pan and say "Popcorn"!!!????

"i've left the hob on for him, it's his comfort space" this made my day

I watched this episode on my tv yesterday while having breakfast in Full HD... It literally felt like they were right in front of me. After all these years watching sorted on my phone/laptop, I had no idea I’d enjoy watching Sorted this way. Even if it’s a Fail Pass It On. BRB re-watching all my fav episodes and becoming a potato couch now

"Everyone always gets mad when we make rice" *Doesn't cook rice properly*

"Where's. T.he DISH???" James's line in the opening intro, gets me every time. AND it certainly applies to this "dish"

Order suggestion: no one knows who's gone before or after.

Look forward to when you all can travel again. The explorations in particular cities (game changers) were the best! Terrific how you aimed to hit some of the iconic places / foods but also discovered some hidden gems. Honoring some great people or groups giving back to the community was awesome.

Ben’s “interesting” and perplexed look had me dying

Love that Ebbers was shocked at grilled celery, but was only "not sure" about rice krispies toasting in a pan, that he's seen before?!?

I've been having a really stressful time lately, so watching my usual let's plays is too chaotic. So what better time to binge watch my favorite sorted vids? You guys give me joy, especially watching Pass It On hahah Your stress relieves mine.

It's always so amazing to see how chefs are parallel processing all these ideas and actions while in the midst of things, really the big difference between them and us normals

Okay, but low-key, Jamie's order was pretty damn well though out based on all their previous individual performances... not that it changed the end result haha.

"I'll leave _____ here so _____ will understand what to do with it." The boys are still so hopeful after all these years 😂

This is my favorite cooking show on RU-vid. I'm a longtime subscriber and it's been amazing to see the channel grow and change over the years

Barry at 12:06 putting pepper on the final dish and throwing the Grindr on the floor in pain is a mood

"What is the point of celery?" Mike is my spirit animal.

I can’t believe Mike AND Jamie read the instructions but still failed to put a lid on the rice. 🤦‍♀️ (Mike has a point about celery though).

I truly believe that the pass it on series is a modern miracle. I’m spending my Christmas alone (because of Covid) so I’m just rewatching all of the series. Not a bad way to spend Christmas

"I've left the hob on, it's his comfort space" 🤣🤣🤣 I am here for snarky Ebbers

Can you do a cake relay.... that would be CRAZY especially with the decor 💀

Yo Janice is f'ing on point. "Hes been working here for 12 years...." Thank you for existing....

Thanks for all of the pass it on episodes, it's my favorite non-car series on RU-vid!

I just wanted to thank you guys... I have been having a really hard time with my clinical depression and anxiety lately and the pandemic has made it even harder with the quarantine. A friend of mine showed me your videos and I've been binge watching them. You all have made managing my depression much easier and given me something to enjoy and look forward to. There has been a marked improvement in my mental health since I started watching your videos and it's all because you are such wonderful people. If there was one of you I most related to, though, it's James... and that is even more fitting because of a single video where he made a comment "Everything annoys me." and I couldn't have agreed more! xD So anyway... thank you for doing what you do, for being wonderful people, and for helping me get through a really, really, REALLY rough time in my life. I don't know where I would be if I hadn't been introduced to your videos. -Amanda

I’d love to see a “get to know me” episode where all five of you cook your signature dish, and then all five of you cook one dish that’s exactly the same dish as the others, but done in your own way. It would be a great way for new subscribers to learn each person’s strengths and cooking style :)

I think that's the first time Barry's ever turned a hob off 😂

Been binge watching Pass it On videos .... I am absolutely in love with the Janice play by play... I laugh so hard... Snarky and full of sass... Love it!!!

Bens “interesting” to the instructions kills me XD

I thought Jamie nailed the order but this is honestly the most frantic I've seen Barry.

Just saw the notification. My mind: Oh dear, Oh dear...

We know that Barry panicked a bit when plating because its obvious but when James panicked at the beginning the only way to know it is him saying calmly "I can't think of a dish" 😂

I love this series!

To be fair to jaime his order was pretty well thought out. Immediately chef: going to pick a rice I've never cooked as though this wasn't hard enough.

I appreciate how Ben leaves the hob on Barry, really shows how he cares about Barry's comfort in the kitchen

Love how the chefs think its a pass and the normals are so hard on themselves and give it fail. Love watching you guys and see your thought processes.

This is the most enjoyable format you guys do, love it, please do more. Stay well.

“Where’s....the dish?” FABULOUS

Barry turning off the hobs by himself it's not something I thought I would see.

Mike deserves a 6 for not messing it up.

I love this series. It's always fun to watch.
