- [Mike] We are Sorted, a group of mates from London
exploring the newest and best in the world of food,
whilst trying to have a few laughs along the way.
(laughing)
We've got chefs, we've got normals.
(beep)
And a whole world of stuff for you to explore,
but everything we do starts with you.
(upbeat music)
- Hello, I'm Jamie, this is Ebbers.
Welcome to fridge cam.
- Now apparently, there are more things
on the Internet for us to buy and review.
Here are some.
(upbeat music)
You know how this works, we come across
all sorts of little gadgets for the kitchen.
Some are genius, some are superfluous.
Some are very, very niche.
We put them under a cloche and we get
our normal, Jamie, and our chef, James,
to pass opinion on them.
(upbeat music)
- I think we've got a game changer in amongst this batch.
It's not this one.
Lift the cloche.
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Whoa!
- This comes with a caveat, it's full,
be careful if you lift it.
- This isn't the game changer.
- Right, you've said twist the top.
- [Mike] I think you're holding the bit that stops it.
- You ready?
- What you gonna get?
What you gonna get?
Marshmallow!
Whoop whoop.
(upbeat music)
- [Ben] This is the Candy Box.
Sweetheart, carefree experience.
Not only am I beautiful, but I can also hold many things.
- Not only am I beautiful, but I can also hold many things.
(laughing)
- They also say it will be great, if you want it Mike,
at a wedding, for like a chocolate fountain.
- I respect my guests too much.
(laughing)
- It does do what it says it does.
- Doesn't mix 'em up, you see, keeps 'em separate.
- Oh, well in that case, sign 'em up.
- Well, that's good, 'cause you wouldn't want
your marshmallows mixed up with your olives, would you.
- All I can smell is olives and pickled onions.
- Seriously, when are you using this?
- We all know that I'm not using this.
Don't be silly.
- But you like it.
Okay, so maybe it's for like an 11, 10,
11 year-old who wants to.
Well firstly, I mean they're gonna have a sugar high.
- Yeah, and then you're gonna have an argument,
and then you're gonna have to find their mum
to come and pick them up.
- I'd rather say this is for compartmentalizing toys and
jewelry. - jewelry.
- But not, this is kitchen gadgets.
- Jamie, how much would you pay for a candy box?
- I wouldn't.
- I would expect to pay about 20 pounds.
(groaning)
I mean, I've done a lot of these gadget videos.
- [Mike] I know.
- And that is why I expect to pay,
I expect to pay more than 20 pounds,
but I thought I'd put a reasonable price on it.
- It's 11.99.
- Is it?
- Wow, wow, I can get almost two.
Mike, you're right, you did find a game-changer.
- You're not being sincere?
Take that home and put it in your kitchen.
- I'm not sure what I'm more bothered about,
your reactions or the fact that this was targeted
at me on my Instagram feed.
(laughing)
And I bought one.
(laughing)
- Useless or not?
- Yes.
100% completely and utterly useless.
- It's definitely not useless, is it.
It does exactly what it says it wants to do.
(upbeat music)
- [Mike] Lift the cloche.
(laughing)
- It's chopsticks for beginners.
- Chopsticks, but beginners chopsticks.
Is it really?
- [Ben] I feel like you're not a beginner anymore
after our trip to Japan.
- I'm not, I'm not a beginner.
- You can nail anything with a pair of chopsticks.
- What?
- Struggling to learn how to use chopsticks?
Would you like one day to be able to eat with them
as easily as you do with a knife and fork?
Try Rookie Stix from Typhoon.
- I just fell into Ben's trap.
You're not supposed to eat sushi with chopsticks.
- For years, we've been to Japan
and now I don't need Rookie Stix,
because we became experts,
and I remember a time at three o'clock in the morning
at some random bar trying to pick up
individual grains of rice with chopsticks,
just to show how good we were.
- And therefore, much like the last product,
this may be aimed at you,
but let's discuss it anyway.
- [Mike] You can pick up a solitary nut.
- I can.
You couldn't do that with a fork, could you?
- There's not a lot to say about these.
They work, don't they.
They work and they take the balancing bit
of chopsticks out of chopsticks,
which I imagine is quite good for kids
who don't necessarily know how to use chopsticks yet
but might want to eat like their parents.
- This is why it's good to have a normal,
and it's good to have a dad.
- It's not teaching me how to use chopsticks.
- I mean, honestly,
if you wanna learn how to use chopsticks,
you use chopsticks.
- Do they pick them up as quickly as me?
(dish clanging)
- Probably, yes.
Now, as with everything, there could be a caveat here
for someone with motor skills, difficulties,
or some sort of medical condition,
because they are super easy.
- This is one product that I can genuinely say,
out of many products that we've done,
that it's easier than the original.
- How much would you pay for a pair of Rookie Stix?
- Four pounds.
- If these are more than three pounds and 79 pence,
I would be quite offended.
- At one pound 59 pence.
- I'll have two, please.
- They are a bargain.
- Useless or not? - Useless or not?
- Oh, in unison.
No, not useless.
- Not useless.
(upbeat music)
- Okay James, you ready for a game-changer?
- Is this the game-changer?
You shouldn't tell me the game-changer.
- [Mike] Oh, damn.
- Before the game-changer.
- [Mike] Ebbers, you gave it away.
(upbeat music)
- It's not the game-changer.
(Mike laughing)
- Is it something you'd get given at a doctor's surgery
and asked to go to the toilet
and then come back with it full?
- Hope not, it's got holes in it.
- I was gonna say a wine aerator,
but I don't think it is.
- Does it go in the top of a pie to let the steam out?
- Pie.
(laughing)
- It feels plastic and cheap and.
- Egg?
Egg.
- It's something to screw into a fruit
and then you pour the juice out.
- Oh, it's a lemon juicer.
- The lemon juicer and pourer
lets you pour out juice in perfect portions.
Simply bore the juicer into the fruit,
squeeze the fruit, you might want the lid shut,
and pour at will.
It's a clean job.
Also suitable for limes and orange.
Screw the pourer into a lemon or lime
and the juice flows out.
The ideal tool for professional bartenders,
and it also keeps the pips and pith inside.
- Do you expect this to work?
- No, don't be silly.
(upbeat music)
Wait, is that it?
- Just pour.
(upbeat music)
I think that's pretty good.
- Bring back gadge one.
- No.
- It makes so much mess.
Look at me.
- This is the game-changer you were talking about, isn't it?
- How at home do you squeeze the juice out of the lemon?
- Well, that's a very personal question.
I squeeze it using my fingers and my thumb.
Bold, I mean I could have done it over the glass, sure,
but we're here now.
- How much would you pay for one of those?
(laughing)
They come as a pair, if that helps you.
- Oh, so you could put one in a lemon and one in a lime?
- Absolutely.
- Or, two in a pear.
(crickets chirping)
- 50 P.
- And would you pay 50 P for one of those?
- No.
- I mean, I wouldn't pay 50 P for them.
I think they might sell for 50 P for a pair.
- Three pound 59 for two.
- Oh!
- For two.
Useless or not, Jay?
- I think you probably know what my answer's gonna be.
- I don't like it.
It's useless.
- Throw it away, it's useless.
- I'm not saying it's good,
but I'm saying in comparison to the first one,
it's something more.
- I'm sorry, what was wrong with the first one?
- Everything about it is.
- Nothing was wrong with that.
- [Mike] Pointless purchase, it does nothing.
(upbeat music)
- Wow.
(upbeat music)
- The bit that you use is at the bottom.
- Same as the last one, but for a big lemon.
(laughing)
- If you get this, I will kiss you on the mouth.
- All right, I'm gonna try really hard now,
just to make you lot jealous.
(laughing)
Potato masher.
- This is a Scoof.
- Dog poo!
- This is for your cafetiere.
That moment when you've poured all your coffee
and you're left with the grounds in the bottom
that should not go down the sink,
and that's a big problem 'cause they tend to clog.
Instead you have to somehow get them into the bin.
This is Scoof, designed to scoop out
95% of your grounds in three turns,
and the added benefit is it will twist your grounds
into the water to give you a more intense coffee flavor
from fewer grounds in less time.
- Guys, this is (beep) pointless.
(laughing)
- I can't say it's a problem that I realized I might have.
(upbeat music)
- We haven't weighed out the water or the coffee.
- And then a scrizzle or two of that,
so one or two slow compressions with your Scoof.
- After three minutes?
- [Ben] No, now, in case some of it hasn't bloomed.
- No, you're supposed to leave it
and then you do it afterwards.
- [Ben] You do it your way if you want,
but I'm just suggesting how the product
has suggested to use it so you can test it.
- You're wrong, I've been on a barista course.
- Oh ho ho.
I've had a lovely evening.
Do you want to come in for a Scoof?
(laughing)
- Instantly, I've found an issue,
because I've done the plunge, gently.
I've got coffee scum on the top of my Scoof.
I'm gonna have a dirty Scoof on the worktop, right.
Okay, leave it there.
(upbeat music)
- Would you like a coffee?
- I'd love a coffee, actually.
(upbeat music)
- Do you know what a better way of doing this is?
- [Mike] What?
- Leaving it, and then the coffee grinds dry,
and as soon as you tip it out the whole thing comes out.
- [Ben] As a pellet?
- Literally that's what happens, it comes out as a pellet.
- There are some on the work surface.
I could have moved the bowl closer, but still.
It was over the top of the lip.
- So that's not a problem, like it's not a problem.
- How much would you pay for a Scoof?
- Irrelevant question.
How much do I think they sell for, more relevant question.
This to me has 4.99 written all over it.
- Two pounds 99.
- Really?
You went with 20 pounds for the first one.
- Which was worth 20 pounds.
This one is worth two pounds 99.
- Twin blades, dual action.
- Twin blades?
It's not a (beep) airplane motor, is it.
Probably 10 pounds.
- It's 9.95.
- I know what you're gonna ask me,
and I'm gonna give you the answer
before you get the chance to ask me.
It is useless.
Use a spoon.
A wooden spoon, a metal spoon, a plastic spoon.
- Useless.
We're back.
- [Ben] James is back.
- Bring on the game-changer.
(upbeat music)
That's new.
- [Mike] Ta-dah.
- Okay, it's a water bottle.
- Is it a water bottle?
- It feels premium.
- Air Up.
Oh!
- Tastes like peach.
- Water, but with lime in it.
- It's something that flavors normal water.
- Pretty much exactly that,
but what if we also told you the only thing
you're consuming is pure water?
This is Air Up.
It comes with aroma or fragrance rings
that you put over a bottle of reusable tap water.
All you ever consume is water.
No sugar, no calories.
- Something that we speak about a lot
is that flavor is made up of 20% taste and 80% aroma.
- Oh, I see, clever.
- So that, there, is purely peach aroma.
- [James] It's not putting the water through anything,
it's literally just aroma.
- [Jamie] But not I'm breathing in.
- [Mike] Aroma isn't just through your nose,
it's actually through areas of your mouth as well
that aren't necessarily like taste bud-y.
- So this is a German-based company,
and what they are trying to do
is combat the flavored water market,
which is causing tons and tons and tons
of plastic bottled water being shipped around the country,
plus you get all of the flavors and aromas
of various different things
without the sugars and the calories.
So it's healthier and more nutritious,
and it's also more environmentally friendly
in terms of transportation,
'cause all you transport is the eight gram ring of flavor.
You can take the peach off and you can try.
- Oh, yes.
- One of these other ones if you like,
and see if it changes.
- Why would you go to all of the effort
of creating the science that sits behind this
and creating these things,
and then make the flavors of peach, orange, and lime?
Why wouldn't you make steak?
Imagine that, like, oh well you got water.
Steak water.
Pie water, right.
(laughing)
- They have actually put a call to action
on their website to say that essentially,
anything can be put into an aroma
your water could taste like.
- That's some proper Willy Wonka (beep).
- So all we need to do, for Mike,
is a beer-flavored one.
- [Mike] Espresso martini one, actually.
- Imagine if you were drinking espresso martinis
but it's just water.
It's a cool idea, I like it.
- There's no reason why you can't put carbonated water
in your bottle as well, and it would do the same thing.
So if you are hooked to sodas and things like that
and you like fruit sodas or fruit-flavored waters,
and good to refill.
- You could cut down on obesity
by creating certain flavors, pie-flavored ones of these.
- That's your R and D.
- Who wants to slurp pie?
- [Mike] How much do you think that costs?
- The starter box is the bottle with five of those reels,
which gives you 25 liters of flavored water.
- 30 pounds.
- 25 pounds.
- I'm not sure of the current exchange rate.
That sounds about right.
29.99 euros.
- I spend probably 20 pounds a month
on diet Coke, so that puts that into perspective.
- It's a really nice idea,
and it's nice to think of someone doing that,
but I think 90% of people will just go and buy some water.
- Even if this particular product doesn't take off,
I really hope the innovation behind it sparks something,
because I think on a wide, like you said,
consumer basis, that you can go to the shop
and get something instant,
I think that is a proper game-changer for health.
- The game-changer is when you have one of these
but it's like a little band of plastic or something.
- That you screw on top of a water bottle.
- You don't even screw it on top of the water bottle,
like the water bottle comes with it.
- Useless or not?
- Not useless.
It is useful.
- I agree, I think that's a massive advancement.
I think that's a really big thing.
I wonder how many people are gonna pay for that benefit.
If you liked the video, give it a like,
and just in case you're worried that Mike's
reserves of gadgets are running low,
why not send us any funny gadgets
that you find on the Internet?
- And by send, we mean in the comments down below.
Thank you very much!
Now, we know at this time of year,
lots of new changes, lots of decisions to make.
If some of them are food-related,
then we think we might be able to help.
Why not become a member of the club,
and then you can download the Sorted Packs app.
Midweek meals, easy.
- Yeah, maybe you've made a new year's resolution
to get a little bit smarter in the kitchen.
Well, we can help you with that.
Packs is full of midweek meals
that will help you reduce food wastage,
inspire you with brand new recipe ideas,
and essentially sort your life out.
Not all of it, but most of it.
(upbeat music)
- No pressure Jay, but first dad joke of the year.
- Have you heard that the famous American burger chain
In-N-Out is gonna expand to Scotland?
They're gonna have to call it In-N-Oot.
- What, what?
Is that a joke?
(laughing)
Is that a joke?
(laughing)
- [Woman] What was that?
You gotta.
(beeping)
- Well, take two on that one, then.
What type of food is good for your feet?
- No idea, Jay, what type of food is good for your feet?
- Shoe-shi.
- Oh, I thought you said choux pastry.
That would have been so much better.
- [Jamie] Or sole food.
- [Mike] As we've mentioned,
we don't just make top quality YouTube videos.
- [Jamie] Lol.
- We've built the Sorted Club,
where we use the best things we've learnt
to create stuff that's hopefully interesting
and useful to other food lovers.
Check it out if you're interested.
Thank you for watching, and we'll see you in a few days.
(beeping)
That's how I use 'em.
- I put them against the blue
so that the camera can pick it up.
- You tweet that, and I'm gonna smash your glasses.
- I'm not going to.
