ULTIMATE AIR FRYER BATTLE | Sorted Food 

Awwww, poor Mike. They all did great, but doing a baked Alaska in an air fryer is CRAZY. He'd have been my winner.

#JusticeForMike?!?!😬

As a trained pastry chef, making a Baked Alaska in an air fryer is absolutely insane. The fact that Mike pulled it off is an automatic win in my book. Just saying.

Kush looking positively knackered and like he hasn't slept in a few days saying "I'm a father now, I've warmed up a bit." is just perfect 😂

Honestly.... all 3 won today.... this was just absolutely impressive and i'm stunned

Should have been Mike. Baked Alaska in an air fryer?!?! The idea alone deserves to win.

Mike does the most creative thing he can think of, and then loses to quantity and meat. It’s a Sorted tradition.

Brief:- _Create something wonderful and magical with the air-fryer._ Baked Alaska in an AIR-FRYER?!! is as wonderful and magical as it gets. Mike was robbed.

For an Air Fryer Battle the person that uses the AF the worst, or least creatively, should lose. Getting second for "Good ingredients" with simple pairings might have made sense in a generic challenge, but the Alaska was a much more impressive use of the AF.

Come on guys! Mike made the most unlikely dish, beautifully. And in an air fryer. All three were good dishes but Mike made the most out there dish in an air fryer!

As much as I respect Ben in our industry I do not agree here. Barry's seafood tapas really was just using an air fryer as an air fryer to cook things. The other two boys went the extra mile. Both are very technical dishes that had a lot of moving parts. A baked Alaska that survives hot studio lights, pictures, and then still being ready for service is no mean feat. Mike should be proud as that is a victory on its own. For that it should be first place. The wellie was a little under done for my liking. I saw no real border on the meat as it was very rare. Very good effort but second place.

Ben's the "loser". Mike made a baked alaska in an air fryer!!! Little harshs to call him the "loser"... kinda feels petty on Bens part. I'm ok with Jaimie as the winner or even a 2nd place, but there's no way Barrys 'dump pre-made sauces on seafood and warm them up' approach should've been in 2nd place.

Mike’s creativity is outstanding! I could never imagine you could do that in the air fryer

I would have gone Mike, Jamie, and then Barry. What Mike accomplished was nothing short of a miracle, only closely rivaled by Jamie.

Can't believe Mike didn't win this one, even more stunned that he came last??! Behind pre made jars of stuff dumped on fish??? The guy successfully made a baked Alaska in a freaking air fryer, that's incredible!! #justiceformike

Ben you are wrong. Mike wins! #JusticeForMike

I feel Mike was hard done by here. Jamie and Mike put the AF beyond what many thought you could do. Yes, Barry's flavours were good, but his recipes were simple and didn't really test the Air Fryer in any way. The one thing he did use was to sear the tuna and that wasn't very good. In terms of expectations of the recipes in the air fryer and results, Barry was the least creative.

Mike is my winner hands down. A baked Alaska is difficult in a traditional oven, but in an air fryer? What a feat! He was technically impressive. Jamie's was also really impressive and so was Baz's, but I could see all that working? Mike was creative and definitely won the air fryer battle.

Mike should’ve won that and Jaime in second this was a tough one to call but the baked Alaska was too impressive to lose tbh

Gotta give props to Mike for having the most absolutely screaming mad idea out of the bunch. But then again, getting a wellie to a perfect medium using only an air fryer is crazy impressive.

This was such an impressive performance by all the Normals, but Mike really, truly should have taken the win on this one.

I love Ben, but he is nuts. Barry's was so simple; Mike pulled off a miracle with nary a Huttlestorm in sight. Justice for Mike!

The fact that even Barry and Jamie were shocked Mike came last... Mike you did amazing the desserts always seem to get the short stick

I always respect the hell out of Mike in these battles because he always does something crazy and bold, regardless of his confidence levels

I can understand giving Jamie the win, but Mike being last is untenable. Barry did things that are simple to do in an air fryer. Yes, he did 7 of them. However, Mike did something incredible with the Italian meringue and the sponge.

JUSTICE FOR MIKE

id have given a tie to Mike and Jamie. Both were equally impressive in different ways and really pushed the limits on what an air fryer can do. The spread Barry put together was impressive, but I don't think really pushed the air fryer out of what most people would be comfortable doing with it.

Mike was my winner because attempting a baked alaska in an air fryer is one thing, but to actually succeed... wow. Jamie's Wellington looked exceptional though. He really is the king of doing one thing very very well

Most creative use of an air fryer is definitely Mike. Most bang for the hour, Barry by far. Most fusion, Jamie. All three were super impressive! It's so much fun watching long-time friends fiercely competing against each other, excelling & being supportive of each other. I hope my sons have friends like you all.

Justice for Mike! he was clearly the winner. making a baked Alaska in an air fryer?! That is bloody impressive and something one would not easily think of easily. Second is Jamie because that too was very impressive. Last place goes to Berry, not for lack of effort or anything, but simply in comparison to those incredible achievements of the other two.

No!! Baked Alaska in the air fryer should have won. Crazy impressive!

I'm impressed by Mike. A Baked Alaska is the last thing i would expect someone being able to do in an air fryer.

"I might be colourblind but it won't be blue" well there goes my drink😂

Justice for Mike! Not just this time, either. He challenges himself to think outside the box and tries new dishes and ways of doing them. He keeps to the task and brief at hand. And he nails them.

Mike #1!!!!! How could a SUCCESSFUL air fried Baked Alaska lose?! Creative and brave to begin with as an idea, then a crazy skilful accomplishment as a result 👏👏

Mike should have won. I've been using air fryers for years and would never have imagined you could make a Baked Alaska in one. Barry did an amazing job doing so many dishes in an hour and Jamie's was the sort of dish you would expect to be able to do in an air fryer.

I think Mike was the most impressive here. Who honestly sees an air fryer and thinks baked alaska? And pulls it off? Incredible work. They honestly all did incredible in this challenge.

A baked Alaska isn’t easy flat out but the fact he did it in an air fryer is one of the most impressive things I’ve seen

Mike was robbed AGAIN! He should have won for successfully doing something that's not trivial even in normal circumstances. Jamie just did his usual big chunk of meat and a quick pickle. Barry was using the easiest oven style air fryer, all his flavours came from jars and he still managed to under/overcook some. #justiceForMike

They're all winners, in my eyes, but Mike and Jamie really nailed this one. Baz needs to start earning that apron. 😂😂😂

Mike decided to become an alchemist by the look of the last few challenge dishes.

Definitely Mike with his baked Alaska. Who would have thought that possible in and AF.

It should have been Mike for the win today, thinking completely outside the box and nailing it.

I’m sorry Mike should have won that, while simple dishes with great flavour would work for most battles this was about the equipment and what you can do with an air fryer and Mike did that the best. Barry just used the air fryer to warm things up, Mike said what’s the most challenging thing to cook in air fryer and went for it.

I think Mike should have gotten that. Baked Alaska is one of the hardest dishes to make, and he made it in an AIR FRYER. That is some serious skills!

I have no doubt in my mind, my vote goes to Mike. Out of the box, challenging, brave and with a perfect result.

Justice for Mike!!!!

Nooo. Mike was robbed with that one. They were all Wonderful and impressive but Mike HAD to have won that.

"Lemons and capers, those British ingredients that definitely grow on our shores." Classic.

Getting something that shouldnt be possible is way better than getting a lot of simple dishes IMO

That win was stolen from Mike! A baked Alaska is a UNEXPECTED dish from an air fryer. The guys should have a dessert air fryer battle that Mike gets to judge.

Barry did 7 but none of them were particularly inventive or spectacular. Mike's baked Alaska is SPECTACULAR.

Well done to all three but Mike got it to me. No one believed his would work and he pulled it off!

I tell you what, Mike has been smashing it of late

Great air fryer battle , I have an idea for you, a series of battles where they have a chalkboard with a list of things they CANT make. Like Jamie can't use beef, or make a pickle. Force them out of their comfort zones on purpose. Sometimes that happens with limited ingredient battles, but give them unlimited pantry, but a "can't make" list. Great work, everuone.

Mike looked close to tears, I'd be too after a robbery like that 😭 Mike deserved that 100%

kush very quickly dropping by to let rveryone know of the slight thaw on his icy heart was an unexpected highlight

So impressed with Mike,it’s incredible what he accomplished

Mike is always the desert guy and usually they turn out fab. I love that he is pushing the limits of well, everything in this, even science. Deep down he's a mad scientist waiting for the opportunity. Mike, everything is your opportunity and I'm happy to see you rise to the occasion even if your cake did not. I'm always rooting for you, Mister!

Tie between Spaff and Mike on first. Barry's 7 is great but these were far simpler applications. Mike and Jamie pushed the boundary further. #JusticeForMike

Mike was robbed!! The absolute madman made a baked alaska in an air fryer!

Seems like Mike loses a lot. Personally, I love his creativity and willingness to step outside his comfort zone. Anyone can do a beef Wellington in an oven, but Baked Alaska is a challenge even in a regular oven. Keep going Mike.

all the boys exceeded expectations for the challenge by FAR. this is probably the strongest competition with no clear loser or winner in a long time. i will say that imo Mike's dish was more impressive than Barry's and should have gotten at least 2nd. Barry's dish probably tasted good and it was obviously impressive that he did 7 things but 7 simple dishes doesn't outweigh 1 dish that we thought had no chance of working

Mike was the clear winner! His was such a unique idea and so well presented!

Kudos to Mike for the idea and execution, loved Jaime’s beef as well

Mike deserved that win for doing something that is difficult anyway & doing well in an air fryer

Yeah, this is maybe the hardest battle to judge ever. Those all looked amazing and were actually pretty ambitious dishes. Poor Mike though, that would've won probably any other battle but Barry and Jamie really nailed equally challenging and ambitious concepts.

I think that Mike is the winner 🏆 today!! Barry and Jamie dish were really impressive but to make a Baked Alaska in an air fryer…🤯.

With dishes of that quality, i dont think we can call anyone a "normal". Great job boys!

"I'll leave the vodka for my thoughts" KILLED ME, relatable king

Mike is definitely the winner in my book. Especially after just watching Try Guys phoning it in yesterday and Jonny and Ryans Baked Alaska abomination 😅

I literally love the show but always feel gutted for Mike, he is freaking amazing doing such out of the box / world stuff. Kudos Barry for using the air fryer well but I could have made 7 different flavours of popcorn or fries and ben would be gaga over it. Mike needs to be fairly judged

No losers today! Very creative use of the appliance.

An idea for a video is have a hiding competition. The boys pick one ingredient to hide as much of it in as many dishes such as carrots or a fruit... You lose if the chef guesses the ingredient... and the winner is one that hides the most of the ingredient in weight in their 3/5 course meal! Which means they have to use vegetables in sweet dishes and fruit in savoury dishes. There is a risk that if you use it too obviously you might get caught out! While a laugh to see the boys trying to hide stuff in food and being creative but the real life application would be great knowledge for using up ingredients/sneaking fruit and vegetables in children's food as well as cost saving! Such as putting carrots etc in ragus to bulk it out! Excellent video as always! :D

They've all been absolutely killing it lately. I am always impressed by Mike's creativity

Mike should have won the sous chef apron TBH. Creativity that is (surprisingly) well thought out, plus big risk taking!

My vote actually would go to Mike. He pulled off something quite unimaginable! Also, anyone else feeling James withdrawal symptoms?…

That was such a clear W for Mike , plain robbery

Mike killed it. I never thought an air fryer could do that!

First really should have been Mike, to pull that off was wizardry.

I love how Mike dreams big and then tries to make it happen, and he has had some absolutely stunning creations from these challenges.

Imagine making a Baked Alaska actually work in an air fryer and getting last place 😂😭 Poor Mike, but clearly all 3 of them nailed this one!

Mike should have won! It’s amazing to see how much he had changed in just this year alone. Good job all around🎉

Mike's my winner. I could be influenced by watching the try guys attempt to make baked Alaska last night 😂

Hmmm, I'm not sure a loser is necessary. They all created spectacular dishes considering the brief. Maybe it shouldn't be win or lose. But similar to PIO, pass or fail. They all triumphantly passed in my eyes. Great job, gents!

Mike has been killing it lately! Well done!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I'm in the Justice for Mike camp on this one - based on the brief of an air fryer challenge, his use of the air fryer (and pure creativity with it) is out of this world. And it isn't just "oh, great concept" - it WORKED. Everything you expect a baked alaska to be, this delivered.

My wife says no one should be called a loser - you're all winners. But Mike, my man, you thought the most out of the box. You're our #1.

I think Mike’s the winner with doing something so different.

I met my 1st cousin for the first time yesterday and she was talking about how amazing air fryers are. She is in her 80's and was so excited about finding air fryers and how versatile and amazing they are. She had just made cupcakes in them before we arrived. I love my air fryer too, as a disabled person, it makes life so much easier and theyre much safer compared to ovens for me too as a wheelie.

Honestly one of the best showings from all the normals. So impressive how far the skills have come over the years. Well done!

Mike was robbed - Jamie and Mike were pushing the limits for what you could do in an air fryer, whilst Barry was "just" cooking things very very well in it

The quick pickle strikes again!😂

Nicely done Mike, you could have drizzled Kahlua from the freezer over to help cool the sponge some more. But impressive result.

having to pick a first second third is so tricky. Id give it to mike, then jamie and then barry WITH the caveat that all 3 are unbelievably impressive. This is reafirming my opinions on air fryers

I can't remember the last time Ben gave Mike a win. I say that what Ben fancies is not as important as the specific stipulations of this challenge and the dish Mike pulled off within them, which Ben couldn't even say anything bad about.

Had Mike as my winner, the others I can totally imagine in an air fryer.

12:09 Mike discovers light feature 💡💡💡 You're the Best ebbers! What would these guys do without you?

All three are spectacular its honestly like Barry made an appetizer, Jamie made the main course, and mike knew the meal isn't complete without something boozy and sweet. I will say mikes is most impressive and definitely a nail biter of if it would work and I am so glad it did.

Honestly, I think Mike should have won. Barry and Jaime did something that while difficult (for amount of dishes and general technique respectively) Mike was very outside of the box with what the air fryer could do.
