Ben getting a cork screw as an essential kitchen gadget is just so on brand. 😂

As much as we're enjoying and loving the fact that Kush is showing up more and more on videos, I just wanted to remind Ben that we still love and appreciate him and his precision, his bathtub, his garden, (and plenty more) !!!😂❤

Kush is a phenomenal addition to the on screen team.

I have to say that I lucked out massively when buying stuff for my first place; I managed to get a Le Creuset cast iron casserole dish with lid for £5 in the local boot fair and I do 99% of my cooking in it 😄

[LordBunnyBone]

Awesome video, now we need a 100£ battle on what ingredients, spices and cubboard stuff the Chefs would recommend for a new kitchen. What would last, where to safe money and what more expensive versions are worth the money in a new kitchen

Love Kush‘s advice to not spend all but add the stuff when you get the feel of what you really need. I was lucky enough to get baseline equipment from my parents when I started but my first apartment didn’t have a kitchen at all. Would like to see your approach on basic appliances when you don’t have a stove top and a oven at all.

Ben’s suggestion to check charity shops is brilliant. Can often be a great place to find cookware.

Kush's chaotic energy is just wonderful guys. Having another normal style personality with all the nerd-skills of a chef is a magic combo.

[BeardManC]

Now we need a comparison challenge of the normals buying what they think they need in the kitchen compared to the chef's

[d.spencer.]

This is probably your best video in a long time - it's cool seeing the normals cook, or various challenges, but seeing really experienced chefs demonstrate what you can do with really basic equipment is so useful for so many people! Really hope you do more of this type of content!

As how they both presented their equipments..

Ebbers: going into quality with the basics and with touch of cheap additional equipment and already settling stage of life.

Kush: pretty much practical and I love he has prioritized a hand blender with his set...

[KimAndrewsbykimbo]

Can't believe it's taken this long to get Kush on camera this much. So glad you have now. He talks so much sense, in an entertaining way.

[MemeGremlin]

Would love to see something like an Equipment Roulette. Kush and Ben draw out of a hat and get 5 random pieces of gear each and have to cook with it.

[carolynreid]

Love seeing Ben and Kush together on screen.
Also, I feel like this episode shows how good Mike is at leading the discussion throughout the structure of the episode.

[jessicastevens]

Ben's cutting board can also extend counter space when put over a sink, etc. - often an issue in a starter kitchen

[sarahwatts]

I like the balance that comes with having two chefs on the team - plus Kush is great! I hope he's comfortable with being in lots of videos to come

[ZanguSwe]

I love the different approaches that still overlap. Chefs think alike!

[LostTexanTwitch]

I loved how calm and informative both Kush and Ben were. It was like just having a casual chat while they were cooking up lunch.

[DevinJHiggins]

For a long time, I used Ben's approach and took advantage of what I could find in local charity shops to build out my kitchen. It was only about six months ago that I finally let myself get a proper set of bespoke pots and pans and I'm quite happy with the purchase.
That said, my last foray back to the charity shops got me some new utensils and a pair of perfect salt/pepper grinders for next to nothing, so the frugal approach always works!

I LOVE having Kush in videos.

He's got such great on-camera charisma!
