Ok so I feel we need an episode where you each come up with different seed/nut oil combos and use the Oil Press gadget to make them and then create a dish using your own oils? Just a thought cos I’d enjoy watching that :)

The closeup shot of the filling squirting out of the dumpling was like watching a bad horror movie.

Gotta be honest, I ran a dim sum restaurant in the late 90’s, and our the dim sum chefs would put those machines to shame. Watching a real Chinese Dim Sum Chef make pot stickers, wontons, buns, and bao, is watching art in motion. Those women could make thousands of pieces, with perfect amounts of filling, perfect pleats, and in perfect rows for 8 hours a day, chit chat the whole time, and never miss a beat. It was amazing to watch and embarrassing when I had to fill in. 😂

I really would love to see Kush get his hands on that Oil Press.

Been watching sorted since i was 13 now in my second year of uni at 20, still watching them will say my cooking skills have impressed my peers

[forestlove]

I love the Oil Machine I would love to see Kush do a full video on that and test it more! I found it so interesting and the by product to like what else could he do with that?

This channel is amazing for my mental health. Watching a video is like hanging out with friends when no one's life is shitty and everyone is having a good time. I learn stuff and just feel genuinely happier afterwards.

Thank you all for being awesome to all of us out here!

All of these turned out to be way less expensive than I was thinking. I thought the first one to make the gyoza wrappers was going to be 1500 at least!

Ebbers' terminology is spot-on; I used to work at a gold mine! I wasn't expecting tonhear mining terms used on my food show. Fun surprise! Ebbers is a true Renaissance Man.

Wanted to thank Ben for mentioning Henry Dimbleby's 2023 book Ravenous: How to get ourselves and our planet into shape, which is an excellent book for anyone who cares about how big food companies are basically getting people hooked on crappy, unhealthy and even deadly foods.

As for the amazing products in this video, me and six friends go in together and invest in big machines like the Baozi steam bun maker, a Harvest Right food freeze dryer, meat grinder/slicer and other items that get used a few times for a few days every few months.

We are all avid cooks, make 99% of all the meals our families eat, at home. And loving ❤ foods from so many cultures there are food prep items we need but not weekly. So, creating a lending library of kitchen tools has been a godsend. 🙂

I'm currently on holiday in Japan. My host family are incredibly kind, but English isn't their strong suit. Sorted has given me the courage to try whatever food they put in front of me, and I showed them the poker face challenges for Natto and Umiboshi and with the subtitles they understood just enough and they were laughing their heads off. I've now sent them the playlist of Sake Exploration and now they're going to start exploring the world of Sorted too. Sorted really is building global friendships

Baz: "Here's my nuts and here's my seed" ... and noone said a word. Its ok Baz, I picked up what you put down.

[zomerkoninkjes]

The oil maker actually seems very well priced as someone whose grandma has 10 walnut trees in her backyard. Oil pressing is very expensive to have done and often asks for a minimum weight of nuts. So I’m very curious about this machine!

[craigmethven]

I would love to see an episode of the chefs messing with the seed and nut oiler; like the pizza oven and spherificator episodes in the past :D

[CarlGorn]

I have to say, as a sometime restaurant cook, I freakin' LOVE that you're highlighting some pro tools. The dumpling sheeter has possible carryover into making small tortillas for tacos or crisps, but the one I'd really splurge on is the oil press. Just the thought of being able to go out and forage black walnuts or chestnuts in local parks here in Minnesota, then press them for their oil, and be left with a high-protein powder, it makes me want to start a sinking fund for that gadget right now.

On the bao set: The crimper is a game changer, but I get the feeling you'd get more consistent thickness out of your dough if you ditched the shaper and just used a darning egg as the shaping form. What is a darning egg? It's an egg-shaped form, usually made of wood with a handle, used to make sure you don't sew various layers of clothing together when repairing holes. It would give you a better feel for how thick your bao is, rather than the disconnect you get with that lever & plunger.

If we see Peanut Slag as a dish on the Sorted Pub menu we'll know what it is and why it's on the menu 🤣

[chronicallynerdy]

It's been a really rough month, and I've been binging y'all pretty much constantly in the background for almost that entire time. Thank you, everyone at Sorted, for making joyful, interesting content that eases my anxiety.

Hello chaps! I am a recently retired ship captain. Myself, my Chinese officers and crew frequently would produce THOUSANDS of dumpling skins by hand over the course of an hour or two for special days. We used wooden broom handles cut into 20cm lengths to use as rolling pins. I was a rank amateur but did ok. Some of my guys have been doing this since very small children and could produce perfect skins as fast as the other team members could supply them with dough pellets. A great way to show teamwork while having loads of chat and being well lubricated with TsingTao beer!

1 hippopotamus 2 hippopotamus … never heard that before, but I suppose that Brits wouldn’t be saying 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi lol!

[Oh_Fudge.]

With the second gadget. The waste (or slag as Ebbers call it) could be grounded to a flour or coursely crushed into flakes for baking sweets and/or desserts.
