I don’t care how annoying that was to watch in front of my Alexa obeying all of their commands, I would have watched a full hour of Ben battling a farting Alexa

[Montyh]

I may be on my lonesome here, but any appliance that is controlled by an app is an instant miss for me, because as soon as that app is no longer supported (which is so common) you are left with junk/brick.

That meat thermometer holder shaped as a pan wasn't what I thought it would be. I thought it would be able to tell me the temperature of the actual pan.

[Degenerecy]

The excitement of Ebbers face and the dismay a few seconds later, priceless. Poor Ebbers.

[gitawulfren]

Mature friendship of years and years. Still laughs at fart jokes.

I miss the bloopers at the end... But Ben's mood has been on a rollercoaster today. He seemed to really hate the smart pan, and was so excited about the steam box. Jamie and Mike just bring so much joy and light-heartedness into a video

[hahu]

Alexa refusing to stop farting is peak comedy

[PLZnoHEXES]

The induction hob made me excited. as someone who always travels for work - thats something i could have with me in a suitcase.
Another use: drop it on the dining table for hotpot

[kathrinlancelle]

The induction burner is pretty cool. All the others I wouldn't even consider. Thanks for doing these reviews for us.

[Kellyannification]

“Alexa play Classic Fm as loud as you can” Oh yeah thanks very much middle of the night opera at full volume went down very well in my house 😂

[jasonellis]

Just wanted to say thank you for not only helping improve my cooking skills, BUT more importantly massively helping me with my mental health issues. Whenever I'm having a bit of a hard time nothing else brings me such joy as watching your videos. I'm pretty certain I'm not the only one. Thank you so much...

[bluesilvahalo]

I had to switch my Alexa off watching this, she kept butting in on the conversation 😂

[verndogs]

That steam box was one of the most disappointing products I’ve ever seen reviewed on any channel

[Joshuamelon]

Had to shout at my Alexa about 15 times in the first 5 minutes! Love it

[Sarah-icyu]

As an American hearing a British Alexa talking about triumphant farts was seriously comedic gold

[nikolaswesbecher]

The Thermometer pan would be useful if the Thermometer displayed the temperature of the center of the pan itself to control cooking making sure your pan doesn't get too hot. But just having a handle compartment for a detachable Thermometer is uncessary at best.

I like how excited Ebbers was about that steaming box. It reminded me of how excited Ebbers was about the Bruno self-warming takeaway box from a while back, which not only did the job, but I think cost like 40 quid.

[namarien]

Jamie talking in English to my Alexa and she answering in Spanish “what you want to play”. It did not recognise Ben only Jamie 😅

[Emeraldwitch]

I do like the extra induction burner. I bought one for $10usd at a yard sale a few years ago. My son often takes it to the camp ground when they go as they have a plug in there but it also has a car adapter plug in.
I guess they use it for days its raining too hard for building a fire.
I use it when we go to pot lucks to use as a dish warmer. Keeps things at a perfect temp. Handy little thing if you have room for it.

[guns]

The smart hob was intriguing. I would even dare have it next to my stove top as an additional 5th hob that I could use for precision cooking. I would use it mainly for things that need attention like chocolate, custards, perfect steak, and so on.
