it’s nice you finally let ebbers stay in his normal clothes and not put his chef costume on

😂
It suits him.
Ah yes, a descendant of Jacob Reees-Mogg
@@davlos8138 Now that is a truly nasty thing to say about Ben. Ebbers in no fashion resembles that walking piece of shite dressed as a dandy ready to recline in parliament masquerading as a human portraying an English lawmaker.
How dare you?
When Ben suggested James to carbonate the wine, I thought “Surely the super geek knows what happens when wine is carbonated...”
Then i realise Ben absolutely KNEW
He wasn't phased in the slightest.
I was just about to say the same thing! XD
If you are going to make top betrayal moments in SORTEDfood, this definitely goes in.
SO obvious! I love it ^*^
I just love how he KNEW you arent supposed to carbonate anything other than water in these things yet was like "hey james! This isnt water, carbonate it!!" Knowing full well that something was going to go wrong.
The toaster "automatically" turns the toast without you having to touch it, by fully opening the latch/lid and closing it back again. The bread slides down the lid bottom side first, dark side down and gets reverted when you then release the spring loaden lid. Operating and keeping an eye on the thing was quite an attraction in itself when I was a kid. This was helped by the fact that the fully exposed wires were not only red hot but also live with 220 Volts.
Absolutely! You do NOT need to touch the toast until it is cooked both sides. Mind you, our old toaster had the springs die, so we used wooden clothes pegs to hold the sides up. Even more of a challenge to keep and eye out. Burning toast, and burning wooden pegs!
like one of those fancy walkmans
I bet, with a bit of ingenuity and total lack of regard for human life, this toaster could be linked to the teatimer and you could have toast with your tea... while sitting accross the street fron your burnt down house. 😮
I love Ebbers' outfit! Also, his non-reaction during the explosion is classic. I think Chefs and nurses (like me) have similar reactions to ... unusual circumstances.
He looks SO cute in that cap!!
And teachers
“i think the teas probably gonna be tea”
“oh that’s tea”
that’s the quality commentary i’m here for
😂 top quality always. You can rely on us.
also 10:40
* bites toast *
"i can confirm, it is toast"
quali-tea commentary
czcams.com/video/Iz7uf6_Lhsgh/video.html
One of the many reasons we all love James.
dude how ebbs doesent even flinch for a moment during the explosion is bloody amazing, he knew that was going to happen and yet he did nothing to stop it. Absolute legend.
We're wondering if he's human? 😂 Ben and Jamies reaction couldn't be anymore different.
He licked his lips, hoping for bloody carnage. A true monster.
Not only did he not flinch, in the slow mo it kinda looks like he pouted. Like he was sad that wine was wasted.
Honestly, knowing Ebbs' propensity for learning, I'm not surprised he didn't react. He either already knew or researched (which means he did it deliberately, the meanie 🤣). You can't carbonate liquids with sugars/salts (which is why you add the flavours after carbonating). Josh from Mythical Kitchen learned the hard way too and almost killed his cat when he tried. 😅
@@missdire He 100% knew 😂 It was bloody brilliant 🙈
When Ben told James he had to “squirt some cookies,” Jamie’s face was everything hahaha
Thanks for the memories. My grandparents had the toaster, my parents had the teasmade and I bought the cookie press the year I married - 1973 and the soda stream around 1980. The cookie press I still use regularly. It works perfectly, it's down to practise and getting the dough to right consistency.
Making the perfect spritz is kind of a lifetime pursuit! It really does just take practice and getting used to them.
Ben looks like he’s dressed for a wild night of Bingo and I Love Lucy
😂 he's got his special pens at the ready.
@@SortedFood Ben has his bingo ‘dobber’ ready? Epic thought ;)
So a regular Friday for him then?
And yet, you have to hand it to him; he certainly makes an effort.
I think he looks smart in that flat cap.
Just when you didn’t think he could get any more Ebbers, Ben brings his own matching tea cup. Ebbers levels up.
He's got no wife to tell him otherwise
@@invaderzimismyfav +a+++
Whats this you're Ebbers is evolving?
You haven't even seen him in his final form
“...Toast used to be smaller.” made me laugh so much I cried and I don’t think it’s getting the recognition it deserves
Poor James, having to put up with these two. 😂 I love Ben, he's so genuinely happy all the time, it seems. And Jamie's giggle, I can't. Much love to the whole group, I'd love to see more of these. Like a vintage ravioli press, or something. Just weird appliances not used anymore.
15:35 Ben's reaction is that of someone who knew EXACTLY what was gonna happen and got away with it lmao
He so did! I could feel him judging and saying mentally: "Elementary my dear James." I wish he had his pipe out, but he set James up like Professor Moriarty. Also he's never looked more like Stephen Fry.
I don’t fully understand way but the joy I felt seeing James judging products again is immeasurable.
He seems a right sweetheart. Big kid. His excitement is lovely
It is nice. He seems like a good Duy and I do t know if he was having personal issues recently or not but I hope it wasn’t the case, if it was I hope all is well!
I feel like James judging things is a whole mood.
I’ve been informed that you’re using the vintage toaster wrong!! Apparently, if you open it all the way when the first side is done, the bread/toast should slide down and turn itself over ready for you to toast the other side - less dangerous that way!
It’s so cool to see the different gadgets, and how they’ve changed over time - great video :D
I love the soda stream! I use one myself and seeing this old one made me realize, they had their gadget down to a T back then. Nothing's really changed but the look.
I swear the gas canisters still look exactly the same... and are probably the exact same capacity.
Well, they *have* ditched that lever. We had one when I was a small kid in the start of the 80s, and I remember being afraid of using it after the lever caught one of my fingers in a really painful pinch
@@pengolodh the newer models come with a lever instead of a button
They should use these when they cook dishes from that vintage cookbook!
Haha, great idea! Vintage recipes and vintage gadgets.
this could be a great video
I read "vintage cookbook" and my mind went to the books from the 70's that have like Ham and Bananas and salads in like gelatin lol
czcams.com/video/Iz7uf6_Lhsgh/video.html
@@SortedFood make it a pass it on and it will be a triple whammy 👀😂😂😂
I cannot express the feeling I had when Ben had the same tea cup as the set on the box.... just incredible!
As a self-proclaimed "cola syrup connoisseur" I need to mention that the amount of syrup they want you to put into water is astronomically high. Like so far away from what's good, especially for cola flavor.
One of those bottles is supposed to just be enough for like 9 liters, when, in reality, you can easily stretch that to like 30 liters and not lose out on flavor.
The amount that James put into that little bottle is like double the amount I put into 1,5 liters.
P
Not surprising. They want you to buy more of it after all
depends on the brand, and probably what country you're in. i found the diet(non sugar ones) to be way too sweet with the recommended dosage and not too lacking in flavor if toned down, however some of the other syrups are way too weak if i want to go for the authentic buy it in a can experience
Oh wow that cookie press brought back a lot of memories! My mom used to make probably hundreds of spritz cookies for Christmas with a very similar cookie press, including tree shaped cookies and star shaped cookies with red and green maraschino cherries. I can confirm with the right dough the shapes do hold quite nicely
We in India use them to make savoury snaks during Christmas. And yeah it works great with the right dough consistency
Ben being a mad scientist and getting the rest of the crew to test out whatever he pleases without knowing what will happen could totally be a series.
A rather dangerous series...
@@VixeyTeh Maybe he can cut back on the explosions?
Fearless Leader. Someone has to do it.
The YES CHEF! Badge?
Ben not even blinking an eye when that wine exploded makes me think he’d be an outstanding Dad.
@miko foin f
Have we forgotten about Tyrone already?
Yeah…MY daddy 😜
@@MrPessimal Never!! I think he is about 12 or 13 now???
@miko foin I'm 28 help 🙈
My mum and dad had one of those teas maid. It used to make so much noise boiling the water and then decanting it into the teapot, you were already awake before the alarm went off, but they loved it and used it for years. Think it’s still in their garage now 🤣🤣
Ebbers definitely knew that was going to happen to the wine, Jamie jumped out his skin, Ben was totally non plussed 😂
That shameless zoom in to James wiping his shirt really got me hahaha
You're welcome
When you're German and the "vintage" cookie dough is still used in every household around Christmas time lol
Think James also used it incorrectly. That thing does not look like you need to press it into the sheetpan, but hover 3-4 cm over the surface to get the details.
I have one as well! It’s so much fun whenever I get to use it, a mess to clean though 😂
I have one and use it too yearly. Takes practice.
@@kristianwest2049 Seems like the dough was far too wet for this application, too. It all spread out in the oven, that sort of cookie shouldn't do that.
Yes I make spritz every year!! I’m American but my family is German and I knew exactly what it was. And ours come out great, their dough was too wet and they baked them too long. Props for trying though!
It's really important to chill the dough overnight. It'll make it harder to use, but the colors will hold their shape. My dad makes these every Christmas, they usually turn out pretty well, but some tips are definitely better than others.
Cookie presses are wonderful once you get used to them. I've had one for decades and can knock out dozens of perfect cookies in no time. I used it both in our catering business and at home. For some reason, I never found a chocolate dough that would come out right, but replacing the vanilla with other extracts, like almond or rum, allowed a variety of cookie flavors.
Ben: "Spritzen, from the German: to squirt".
Jamie's eyes: "Someone else just heard that, right?"
He looked at the camera thinking "that's what she said"
He is absolutely right though.
Proof: I'm German
It's true. My grandma actually bakes "Spritzgebäck" every year for Christmas. But we use a meatgrinder with caps that creats the same pattern as on the package is shown.
@@vecordia1176 We've been using one of those tools for years and I didn't realize it was a vintage oddity!
@@vecordia1176 same! we do it in family every year, with a meatgrinder with caps as well.
“I’m sure as kids we carbonated all sorts, that’s why I brought you some white wine over.” Turns out my childhood was a bit different to Ebbers
30 odd years ago I tried carbonating brandy in our sodastream. The results were surprising, we got drunk a lot quicker and there was no hangover the next day.
czcams.com/video/Iz7uf6_Lhsgh/video.html
Surely milk was the go to experiment for soda streams.
Oh the teasmade!! Takes me back as a little girl sitting on my Mum's bed on Sunday mornings. I remembered the spitty noise and that damn alarm before it scared the crap out of James. Seeing this teasmade has properly made me smile 😊 thank you boys!
The Sodastream, this was the stuff of wonder from my childhood, my dad purchased our one exactly like this from Woolworths. the whole family stood round and watched this being done for the first time. Never go full seven press was the moto in our house, or atleast infront of my dad. Thanks for the great trip down memory lane.
Jamie’s face as Ben keeps saying “squirt the cookies” 😂
Ben 🤦♂️
I'm really glad someone else caught this 😂
czcams.com/video/Iz7uf6_Lhsga/video.html
@@tepmurt76 Right? He tried not to laugh …. 🤣
The eye contact with the camera!
Jamie looking dead at the camera when Ben said "squirt" just killed me 😂
I love how it went from "Uh oh" to "Hmm...was that actually bad?"
I'd love to see more of these vintage and antique food gadgets. I've seen so many cool ones over the years!
Talking about the toaster still working really gets the thoughts going on how back in the day, things were made to last (clothes, appliances, tools, etc), whereas nowadays everything is made to either be as cheap as possible (and thus break quickly from inferior parts or construction) or for planned obsolescence (where the manufacturers want more money from you, so they make their things break after X time on purpose).
“It is tea.”
“It is toast.”
James “Captain Obvious” Currie. Love it! 😂
Jamie: Reeling from the white wine
James: Shocked at what just happened
*Ben: Already ready with the prepared explanation*
i love it
That is how you use science knowledge for chaotic good 😂
I used to want a Teasmade as a kid. The Sodastream was part of my childhood, but never tasted like the real drink.
This is one of my favorite Sorted videos! The vintage gadgets are super interesting!!
The Soda machine explodes, and Ben is like "Yup, that is what happens" as he snaps his spenders
czcams.com/video/Iz7uf6_Lhsga/video.html
The first gadget we still use in India to make fried snacks during Diwali.
So interesting.... thanks for sharing :)
That’s why the shapes looked familiar!
@@SortedFood many of indian bhujiyas (lentil paste deep fried) are made using that gadget. I have a similar one at home.
@@SortedFood I'm really surprised James hasn't seen one before. You can still get them in Germany every year (although they're usually made of plastic these days) towards Christmas.
Yeah we have the one from my grandfather for german christmas cookies every year
I haven't been as much of an avid youtube watcher in general over the last year, and so I really fell behind with this channel. I've watched so many videos today instead of doing college work and I didn't realise how much I missed the content you lads put out. It's so entertaining and hilarious and really takes me back to when I had first discovered your channel when I was about 16. Still my favourite channel out there, thank you for the years of funny bits and helpful cooking tips.
Massive flash back to my childhood. Yes, I'm vintage too. I grew up with a toaster like that. It toasted one side, then you had to open the gate, the bread slipped down, and if you did it right, you could flip the bread and do the other side. And yes, only touch the bakelite knobs! We never had any of the other gadgets, but friends families did.
“Don’t listen to Ebbers... ever... ever.”
But what if he’s doing my meal packs instructions??? 😢😉
Do the opposite of his instruction and see how's the result. :p
"It pops. It tells you when it's ready."
Oh Ben. I want to be you when I grow up. That was beautiful.
I loooove the cookie dough press! Me and my siblings each have our own vintage press(the new ones doesn't work as good). We use it for duchess-potatoes, get perfectly sized Swedish meatballs and sometimes for cookies
I remember using one of those toasters as a kid, maybe at my grandparents, and burning my fingers every now and then. It was a memory I'd forgotten until now ❤️
I love how Ben didn't flinch the slightest. He knew and he set up James for exactly that
His words were, "should have quit while you're ahead" and "it pops, it tell you when its ready" when James had already pressed it 6 times and it hadn't "popped" tells you everything you need to know if Ben knew what was going to happen!
As soon as jamie said "You can carbonate anything", as someone who has a modern soda stream and and had exactly what happens in this video happen to me I grabbed my popcorn.
Yep. Popcorn was instantly required for the glorious mess that was to come.
You can carbonate wine, you just have to very slowly remove it, releasing pressure a little bit at a time. I wouldn't recommend it.
Same lol. Though I did try carbonating milk once. That was a terrible idea and a learning experience for me.
Any unusual flavors tried? Any successes?
I remember doing it with cold mint tea once to make fizzy iced tea - that, similarly, didn’t go to plan
oh i so needed to see this with my morning coffee, its has set me up for the day! especially Ben's face when he suggested wine, knowing exactly what was going to happen, helped along with "it will tell you when its done" to get that extra bit of pressure in there... however i can confirm my up to date soda stream has been used to make all kinds of things fizzy including wine, gin and vodka, it juts takes some practice and lots of taste testing.... which is a happy accident really
My mama had a cooking press from her grandmother around the house, and we always broke it out around Christmas. It was always a lot of fun to use.
Ben: "It pops! It tells you when it's ready." you evil little man
"Why did I agree to do that a second time.. I'm alive and unhurt!"
Oh James..
Haha thanks so much for the memories of the soda stream 😂😂😂
The amount of times we ended up soaking wet when getting the fizz in the bottle
Very much appreciated a trip down memory lane 🙏💜🙏
I love how soft- and well spoken James is.
Watching James struggle with biscuit press killllls me 😂 I’m 28 and used the exact same one growing up! My Dad and I used to make Melting moments ALL THE TIME with this! Different shapes require different amount of squeezes! I’d love to show you all some of our biscuits that we used to make with this!!
Amazing! Tag us in some photos on insta or tweet us? We would love to see.
I thought everyone had one of these. Doesn't it come as a guaranteed wedding present whether you bake or not lol
@@SortedFood tweeted!
Same! 29 years old and grew up on spritz cookies. Admittedly most of my friends’ parents are younger than mine so I grew up with quite a few “outdated” things. They didn’t have me until they were 40. I always feel silly having bought one since it’s such a unitasker but I adore the cookies.
I was surprised James didn't know what it was. Spritz cookies are a Christmas staple in my part of America!
When your 8 year old son is watching with you, and says "he made a biscuit that looks like pacman" and then when it comes out of the oven..."oh, now it looks like if pacman ate something he was allergic to" 😂🤣 Out of the mouth of babes, as they say lol
the fact your 8 year old knows Pac-Man means you doing good
Thats both awesome that they know pacman and r also the joke. My kid usually says things like this dead eyed serious. Lol
The music combined with the slow-mo replays had me laughing so much harder than I previously was.
My mom had one of those cookie presses when I was a kid. It really depends on the cookie dough and how many times you pump the device. We always pumped it extra for fluffier cookies.
Seeing James in the judges seat = instant happiness
Jamie pulling out a ‘Babe’ reference is fab! I love that movie!
Fun fact - Jamie played Farmer Hogget in a year 7 production of "babe" at school!
@@SortedFood OMG WOW THIS NEEDED A SCREENSHOT
He also made a Phantom of the Opera reference with the lot number of the toaster.
@@SortedFood OF COURSE HE DID.
@@jenniferharlow4603 I didn’t know that. Interesting.
I love that you got a spritz cookie press! I grew up with them being a Christmas tradition and I will continue it! It takes a few tries to really get it right.
My grand mother had a cookie press, we used it at least every Christmas. We did different doughs/flavors for different shapes.
She also had a soda stream machine, we loved it!!
The way James reacted to that Teasmade ... like a cat being followed by a roomba 😂
😂
Ben was a little chaos gremlin this episode and I am all here for it lmao
We had the first one, cookie maker, growing up! And it always worked perfectly 😅😂 omg the nostalgia at those shapes!
In "I Want to Break Free" the TeasMade starts off the video nearly exploding, which feels like a distinct possibility. I feel like I can smell the mildewy-moldy scent that it surely would've had after a week or two by the bed.
Ben: Anything over 20 years is considered Vintage.
Me: (*Looking in my closet*) So... the flannel shirts from high school that I sometimes still wear, are... Vintage? Dang.
we missed SO much James in the past couple months - petition to have more James content like this as often as possible?? please!
czcams.com/video/Iz7uf6_Lhsgh/video.html
@@Kasionzz he had some personal matters to take care of, but he's been back for a while now
My mum gave me her old school 60s teasmade. Its built like a tank and still works a treat. I love it.
This feels like a return to the Good Old Days of Sorted. Which I personally am very glad for. I missed these sorts of shenanigans. Thanks guys!!
“It came with the original gas canister.”
Yep... that doesn’t sound dangerous at all... 😂
This is 100% my childhood memory: my mom having a mental meltdown with the cookie press not working how it is supposed to work.
Mine too! Every year at Christmas: "God damnit! Damnit damnit the cookies arent sticking!" I think it was their silpat tbh, but sometimes if the dough gets too warm, the butter gets melty and slippy.
They are really tricky. Pretty sure I've passed that memory on to my own kiddo.🙄
I can relate completely to your tale. I posted my story from childhood also. Ma was not happy.
Dough consistency is the key. We use ours for Christmas cookies every year!
We had one of those
There is an optimum temp the dough isn't too warm so it melts and too cold it doesn't come out. And yes. the simpler shapes worked better. The ring shaped one used to leave bits behind back then too!
Loved making spritz cookies with my mom around the holidays! We put different colors of dough at the same time for swirls. I'm 68. They're delicious!
I'd love a Sorted Fails series with more bloopers/extras like the end of the video!
Leading off a video with Jamie laughing maniacally is probably the best way to start a video.
I agree, his laugh is so joyful and contagious!
I see that Ben's looking like a bit of a lad himself for this vintage gadgets video! Certainly a charming one at the very least 😆
Excellent callback ❤️
In vintage kitchen gadgets,i once saw a video about a Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster from around the 60's which looked really cool and worked well too.
fav is the Soda-Stream. I bought mine in the mid. 90s and it still works today! I also have a few vintage toasters.
the slow mo of Jamie and Ben really speaks to how Ben knew that was going to happen and Jamie had no idea
I once had a Play-Doh Fun Factory from the 60's to make cookies, gnocchi, designer croutons, pasta (used a cheese slicer for thin slices) and meringue accents. I also amazed friends and adults with what I could create with an Easy Bake oven. That should be a Sorted challenge if I ever heard one.
Oh my goodness I love this idea
Was that the oven which didn’t actually bake yet managed to make cakes despite not doing so ?
@@caramac6382 It did bake using an incandescent light bulb for heat. You had to make very thin items but could still whip up a wide number of dishes.
I'm 58 and my mom had us use this when I was a kid to make Christmas cookies. We did the Spritzer and put colored sugar/cherries/"jimmies" on top before baking. Ours looked a lot better than what James ended up with. I think something went wrong in his dough process for them to go flat like that.
We (my sister and I) still use this kind of cookie press to this day to make our Christmas cookies.
Thanks to Big Clive, I knew exactly what was going to happen with that wine! He does have some interesting alcoholic concoctions with a Soda Stream on his channel though!
My German grandma still makes me Christmas biscuits with one of those cookie things, and I can say it’s 100% the best thing in my life 😂 they are super tasty and fun and I loved helping her as a kid, it’s like a play dough thing but it makes biscuits, magic.
MINE TOO!! My Oma passed, and I took up the tradition for the family making these. Love these!
And my cookies stay in shape!
Yeah, it's weird how they're "chefs" yet they messed it up. I guess our grannies just have more experience than them :P
I still make Christmas cookies with one of these! But then I am German and also a grandma at heart lol
cookie press: We make these every year at Christmas and they come out great. However if you use an ungreased cookie sheet it works better. Sprinkle Sugar crystals before baking make them really good.
We had that exact soda stream and the teas made when I was a kid, we loved them and in fact when my mum was getting rid of the teasmaid my husband and I had it and used it well in to the 90's we only stopped because the teapot broke, it was amazing and I would happily buy another one.
we had the exact same soda stream when we were kids my mum had it from the 70's we still used it into the late 80's loved it
I LOVE everything about this video. The idea of old gadgets, Ben in a flat cap, James living on the edge, Jaimie's reactions: perfection. The very thought that there are auctions where Ben can go bid on cookie guns from the 50s has made me reconsider my post confinement plans. Thanks guys!
"I'm sure that as a kids we carbonated all sorts, that's why we brought you some white wine" I wonder what kind of childhood Ben had if he carbonated wine as a kid
I LOVE The teasmade so much, truly a vision of luxury automation becoming commonplace.
But the noise.
I love my cookie press! I have a new-ish (purchased within the last 10-15 years) metal one where you have to twist the back & my extended family has an older version of the same style. I wouldn’t dream of using anything else for our family’s infamous Danish butter cookies
Also, I love James to bits but I still laughed my ass off when the wine exploded. And Ben buying the mug that was on the Teas Made box is everything.
“Well I am alive and un injured” is not something I’d ever expect to hear on a sorted video!
You clearly haven't watched enough Pass it On videos
there was that coconut machine that scared all of them as well (chefs review gadgets number 13 I believe)
@@avengefullgirl95 "Ben, it's not worth it!"
My mom would use one of these when I was a kid. It was very nice. I loved the cookies it made.
I absolutely love a cookie press. My grandmother makes spritz every Christmas and they are always beautiful
The genuine fear in James’ eyes when the tea was being made was priceless, his heart stopped then! 😂
Here in Egypt we’re still using that cookie dough thing till this day for ‘Eid’ to make ‘petit four’ it’s like a tradition
I just bought one last Christmas because the one I got from my Nana finally broke. The design has not changed AT ALL.
I was going to make a similar comment. I think the biggest changes, overall, have been equal parts material and cosmetic. There’s a lot more metal/less plastic involved in the outside presentation now, and it’s probably engineered to a higher standard.
I still use a can opener from like the 30s or 40s. It's just an iron pick that you punch into the can and then ratchet around the rim.
And I feel more comfortable using that than most modern can openers.
@@CynthiaPrice79 The old one is made of metal and will last an eternity, while the new ones are made of cheap Chinese plastic and breaking soon.
That's where I've seen it before! I've never actually been to Egypt (unfortunately), but I've seen videos of them being made with that contraption there, so cool! Thank you for jogging my memory!
I used similar cookie presses in my childhood. They work great if you get the dough the right consistency.
Ok, that wine explosion startled me, I'm not easily startled & I expectedit to do that, yet Ben's reaction was....nothing....I love it lol
