Chefs vs Normals: Reviewing High(er) End Kitchen Gadgets | Sorted Food

This week our Chef James and Normal Jamie get a treat as they review kitchen gadgets at a higher price range than usual!

Will the price make any difference to quality or effectiveness? Will James crack a smile?
So much jeopardy. Take a peek at the full collection and comment below to let us know which one was your favourite!

Barry trying to keep a straight face during that glass description.

Barry dance cringing at the whisky glass description is probably thinking “is that what I sound like to people?”

[LauraEvers-hvou]

as a procrastinating student, this is an incredible way to waste time

[FaerieDust]

Honestly I quite like the microwave grilling thing. I have a tiny, TINY kitchenette with almost no storage space, and those look easy to clean, too!

[bluey]

Idea: The three normals choose dishes that EACH OTHER have to cook for an ultimate battle. Sabotage implied and in fact encouraged.

Bought and just tried the microwave grill based on this review. Works great! Yeah, it's not inexpensive. The silly fire people will not allow a regular burner or stove in the building I work in, but we do have microwaves. The closest place to buy lunch is a 10-12 min drive. Now I have an option to have a hot sandwich at work, and that saves me 30 minutes each time compared to going out. So it's worth it for me, no question. Thanks guys!!

"Jamie would probably look for the knock off version"


WHY ISN'T THAT A VIDEO??? Send the normal's out to buy knock offs of fancy tat and see what's the what.

Welcome to the world of whisky

James' "don't be silly" is so James
And Barry trying not to laugh at that description was pure gold.

[MetalHeadReacts]

I love how disappointed mike was that James wasn't annoyed.

On that note, I really wanna see more mystery box... it sort of came back briefly, but not nearly as much as it should have.

Speaking as someone that almost got kicked out of their dorm over an electric griddle, the microwave grill this is worth the $40 if you live in a college dorm or flat where you can only have a microwave.

[BoredSoprano]

BAZ: Almost impossible to do by hand-

J: No you have to use a knife, I think if you try to use your hand it’ll actually be really hard.

👏👏👏👏👏 excellent off the cuff Dad joke from J there

Barry's face from 7:15-7:20 was an absolute rollercoaster ride of emotions.

"You can buy a Kenwood mini chopper for £25"
sublte plug. I like it.

[John-edwj]

Barry's face when Mike was reading the description of the whiskey 'glass' summed it up perfectly.

[Frostdraga]

As a uni student who doesn't have access to a proper stove, I'd definitely get that microwave grill thing. God, that cheese and ham toastie is making me hungry

[vitotaylor]

Oh! I know this!

The Norlan glass focuses the alcohol vapors into a more condensed opening, allowing you to smell more of the whiskey notes which in turn changes how it tastes.

Also, icing whiskey mutes the flavor dramatically. So if the Norlan glass wasn't iced, they're naturally going to taste more of the whiskey.

My all time favorite Sorted moment is when Jamie dressed up as a cow, climbed up on the bench and danced to milkshake

[tomsmith]

This is fantastic! So along with the microwave grill thing... How about a challenge to cook different meals in a typical office or dorm kitchen, where there's only a microwave. You could do different segments - breakfast - egg and bacon. Make a little steak on that grill thing. Boiling pasta for spaghetti dinner without it blowing up everywhere? Endless options and humor too.
