I hope James knows how happy we are to see him

[ZanguSwe]

James comes fighting straight out of the gate with the classic "Ben is ancient" joke. I love it

[adventuresinorganizing]

I laughed so hard at the “It’s the coconut shredder all over again”. I was sure Ben was going to lose a limb in that video

[maokay]

The waffle thing is actually still being use in at least Hong Kong and Japan for street snacks! You guys had the right idea, they usually put eggy batter into it, quickly cook on both side, in Japan, they would come out as a cookie kinda snack and in Hong Kong they would some times roll it while it’s still hot, into a cigar shape, and let it cool so it’s crispy/crunchy when you eat. my dad still has one and would randomly use it when he’s bored… lol

I love how James compares everything to the scales in terms of fun "not as fun as the scales.."

[Anna-uhjq]

Gadget reviews just need James’ sassiness and Ben geeking out or being fearless with dangerous equipment.

[haleyborden]

James' pure joy at measuring things using the balance scale was adorable

[RyanTaylor]

“Not nearly as fun as the scale” is gonna be the iconic line of James

[muchluck]

Lol, seeing this antiques episode has got my brain thinking.

We should make these guys do a pass it on but with antique gadgets. WOuld be nice to see them try to make something without an electric kettle, a giant ass tub and a weighing scale

James showing up is like a Ryan Reynolds cameo is an already good movie….magic

[liyinliang]

That pattern looks japanese, and considering how thin the “pancakes” came out, I want to guess that it is a japanese waifer iron to make those okashi waifer sandwich cookies that you then fill with redbean and mochi

[AshleyS]

I don't resize how much I miss James until he visits...lovely to see him again! Also, the contrast between James and Ben always gets me, James being the sort of laid back chill but undeniably knowledgeable chef and Ben, the know it all chef

[peacelizard]

James legit had PTSD flashbacks to the coconut shredder when Ebbers was playing around with the ripping hot waffle maker/waffle cattle branding iron 😂

[PriyankitaPant]

So I like to think of James as a recurring character in a sitcom - it’s lovely to see him.

[mmmh]

That scale is gorgeous and I loved Ben and James geeking out over it. I would be in on the bidding.

[rannyltaylor]

I grew up using a balance scale like this one (I’m 25), so I found it quite funny seeing it described as a piece of history! We have some family baking recipes that specifically call for an amount of ingredients based on the weight of other ingredients - I never even considered that it could be a less efficient method! I completely I agree that it’s good fun using it, and I continue to use it whenever I’m back home!

[sansimion]

The waffle iron looks like a different version of a pizzelle press my dad has. He uses it to make Christmas cookies, which have a waffle like texture. Love them!

[andrechen]

"Is that joke still going?"

For you, James, always.

[RobertCismas]

That iron makes 2 cookies. Each shell is one half, makes a round cookie filled with some cream, from what I can remember.

You should have a competition with different batters and fillings, see what's best!

[snowysnowyriver]

Feeling my age here because when I took "cookery" at school in the 1960s, we used scales identical to those in the classroom kitchen. Very much a trip down memory lane for me.
