Idea: seven days of budgeted cooking battles. This will be a good way to give the judge the feeling of 'fatigue' from eating the same kind of ingredient more than once; using the same set of ingredients to cook different dishes will be important. Kind of like the Grocery shop battle.

"Why would you have to press play on an oven?!" Thank you, it is nice to know I am not the only one who hates these stupid computerised ovens. 😅

Totally agree with the win for Jamie in terms of imagination and creativity but the dish I would actually want to eat would be Mike’s. 👍

“I’ll be a little judgemental throughout.”

It’s what we’re hoping for Ben! Friends roasting friends is simply the best. 😉

I just rewatched the old budget battles yesterday to distract me from current stressful situations. Let's see how much the boys have grown!

[PokhrajRoy.]

Mike asking whether Jamie’s dish is going to create an international incident. This is the level of Food Journalism I subscribe to.

Having to press PLAY on an oven is the silliest thing I've ever seen. Jamie deserves a medal for not having a full on tantrum over it cause it would be justified.

[Anna_TravelsByRail]

Ebbers being the health and safety officer just seems very on brand. 😂

And as a former health and safety person: “Safety first people!”

[JohnGarrettHudson]

I like the fact that mikes was initially served family-style, which is a mid-week time-saver.

[OZARKMOON]

Mike's dish gets my vote; easy to find ingredients, nothing difficult to cook and it looks like something really fancy. Guess I'm far too old (and old school) to understand about turning the oven to 'on'. To me, you turn the dial to the temp you want and it just does it!

[iainronald]

I'd like to see you guys do a 30-minute cooking battle where the boys haven't had the food team's help and don't have the chance to prep parts of their dish overnight. The fridge is locked, the timer blows, it's unlocked and whatever is inside is what they have to use. I guess you'd call it a "Blind thirty-minute cooking battle" or something.

I also think that the best way to improve your cooking skills is to be pushed against a wall and have to adapt, have to build off of what you know, and have to get creative.

I love Mike and Jamie holding hands in the beginning.

[chaoticbells]

Mike... again.... for me - every time I watch one of these I always connect with Mike's dishes the most for some reason. I totally would make Jamie's, except that the Spanish flavors which he loves are just not my vibe. I really don't like chorizo lol Mike's just looks comforting and the easiest to do with no stress and mushroom and leek is just so tasty!! (and since I'm commenting on everyone's, Barry's look delicious too - I just wouldn't have done the dumplings, I'd love that dish with straight up noodles in that broth and veg, but I get that it was a battle and just ramen doesn't sound battle-like enough)

[zoeh]

Can I just say THANK YOU, boys (and team), for publishing the recipes on a website and making them available again? There was awhile there you would make amazing-looking stuff but the recipe wasn't written anywhere for us. Definitely missed it! :)

[lizatonix]

just started and already concerned with Jay's safety by taking another Hispanic dish and making a "hack."😂😂😂

[YGFU]

My community vote would go to Mike. That Portion is massive for a Midweek Meal so you could easily feed 6 people and i LOVE the combination of Mushrooms, Leeks, Lemon and Chicken.

[rosethorn]

Yay I’m super early. I was literally just watch one of your videos. Sorted has become one of my favourite channels. I’m only 15 and my home life hasn’t been the best lately but you guys always bring a smile to face and make me laugh. So thank you.❤️

[Tannhauser]

As someone who lives in the American Southwest (Texas), "slice of chorizo" threw me for a minute until I remembered Spanish chorizo is a solid sausage unlike Mexican chorizo. :)

[MathiasTheGiant]

What an absolute journey Jamie went on over the course of an hour.

[niarsyad]

Jamie having a freak out over the oven just made my day 😂
