Can sorted do a “where are they now?” Video for all of expensive gadgets that have been on the show and have whoever took them home show how they are using it?

I have a Ninja Creami & it's been fantastic. A few tips, run the frozen pint under medium warm water for 60 seconds before blending on the Ninja. This helps the Ninja mix better. Second, some fruits contain allot of water, so adding a high pectin fruit, or a small amount of cold activated pectin, really helps. Lastly a very small amount of salt to the mixture (½ tsp) before freezing, really "wakes up" the fruit flavors, even in Sorbet

I have wanted a Pacojet for my restaurants for quite a while, but have never felt the price was justified for our needs. During a Sorted binge, i see this video and promptly purchase the Ninja CREAMi.

My chefs are already in love with the machine, and while we need to purchase extra containers, we are at the point where this machine has replaced our icecream make completely.
Granted our restaurant is on the smaller side (Only around 40 seats), and we don't know how well it will last while being used daily. But the fact that you can purchase all parts individually, should something break, makes me worry a lot less.

Thank you so much for this video, and will give an update later, to see if the machine can stand the test of time in a professional kitchen.

Not surprised at all that Barry takes all the good gadgets home 😂😂

Poppy brings the energy of a normal with the knowledge of a chef. Love it!

[ispellitjustg]

The surprised face Poppy had when Jaime threw out the sprig of mint was so adorable. Her face was just utter shock.

[chaoticyank]

I love the addition of Poppy. She is just an absolute ray of sunshine and brings a massive base of knowledge that is great.

For the Salted Caramel one, it's probably the case that the salt lowered the melting point so it naturally wouldn't need as long outside of the freezer.

16:15 I just love seeing Ben being his usual tidy self, it's so charming to see!

[gibuttersnaps]

I have a CREAMi and I would love to see you guys develop some of your own recipes for it! I like the book’s suggestions, but it’d be awesome to see what you guys could come up with :)

Poppy is the kind of chef we all are at heart: munching away while making things. She's adorably priceless. (also shameless flirting is equally adorable and yes, she's terrible and I'm here for it)

[AndrewNSachs]

Poppy is the perfect addition to this group. Absolutely love every video she makes an appearance in.

[billyeveryteen]

Like Baz said in the beginning, if nothing else, ignoring completely its function as an ice cream machine, the fact that it can blend, churn, and even slightly aerate a solid frozen block is mighty impressive.

[chasingtheclouds]

I really enjoy these videos where you thoroughly review one product and spend quite some time on it to try the different settings it has to offer.

After Ben reviewed the Instant Pot I decided to get one as my standard pressure cooker had seen better days. My lovely son bought it for me for Mother's Day last year and it's been in use every single day, sometimes twice a day since then. I like this Ninja icecream maker so I've added it to my wish list. I'm thinking I need a bigger kitchen...

[NightAngelus]

With how hard it is to find coconut (oil) free ice cream with someone in my house who is deathly allergic to coconut this would be cool. Not to to expensive for an ice cream maker. Also making milkshakes without having to get our big blender out plus. Might look this one up.

[Adammeeky]

I love the fact poppy is becoming a regular part of the team

[SideSteppingAverage]

Love seeing Poppy on the show, she fits in so well and is always a great addition

[brandonlantier]

Always lovely to see Poppy! In fact lads it has been suggested a few times and I quite agree that we want MORE POPPY PLEASE! Great review, this thing is going on my wish list for sure!
