hello and welcome to salted food now get
ready because today we have a very
special guest appearance from our
favorite ginger chef it's james curry
you could have dropped the ginger well
then it would have been a lie yeah
yeah let's see if you remember how to do
this james lift the clash
ah classic start me off with a phallic
shaped
kitchen gadget
it's solid it's heavy it's weighty it
feels premium okay i was gonna say it's
like a grinder but it's not oh what is
it it's a grinder
james this
is the man kitchen pepper cannon it
claims to produce up to 10 times the
output of standard pepper mills with
consistent grinds all the time they say
it's a quantum leap forward
in peppa milling let me talk you through
the problem two years ago it took 73
cranks on my pepper mill to season steak
i wondered if the same job could be done
with less cranking
786 days 54 revisions 11 prototypes 82
tests and 4
673 sneezes later
the man kitchen pepper cannon was born
it's very well engineered would you like
some pepper i would like some pepper now
as test number one james it feels to me
like we should check for sizes of grind
do you want to do a range of yeah right
okay ready so it's cool
i mean that's a lot of pepper for one
grind wow i mean i know
the arms might have something to do with
probably but that does seem to compute
with what a lot of other people say
let's go fine it's really fine you're
fine okay a lot less pepper obviously
but it is finer okay let's see if he's
still a chef i'm cooking please oh
so what we've given you is some
ingredients to make a peppered steak
salad
okay i can't believe he's putting me on
the spot making me make up a recipe
we want to see if you've still got it
mate swash james cracks on with a salad
should we talk about somebody else who's
enjoyed the pepper cannon go on babish i
was both shocked and delighted after my
first few twists using the pepper cannon
this thing is a feat of engineering and
i'm excited to add it to my arsenal
right i'm gonna do some steak
[Music]
i'm going to set the fire alarm off
james
don't come back and set the fire alarm
come back
please
[Music]
james james
j no
oh this is great i love this i've
forgotten how to do this
oh no i really have forgotten how to do
this
it's the first thing i've cooked on
camera for a long time it's gotta be
good right oh well that's one for along
jamie's been gone for about 20 minutes
having to deal with james's mess but in
the meantime it's not the first time
you've made a salad i did make a salad i
made use of the time oh great a salad
you asked for a salad
time to pepper this fake it's rested as
well rested
dig in tell us what you think
the steak is delicious well peppered
even distribution i mean what are your
thoughts do you think it is a marvel of
precise engineering it does deliver i i
cannot deny that it works it feels
premium quality it's nice to have a nice
pepper grinder i like it it's good well
let's talk about cost james how much
do you think we paid for
the pepper cannon i think you paid 50
quid for it and would you pay 50 quid
for it uh at the risk of
making people really angry i actually
would pay 50.
okay okay i i've i've bought
nice pepper grinders before and they're
worthwhile and i think this is probably
better than those would you pay 199
dollars for it
no
no no it wouldn't it had
687 backers pledging over 1.1 million
dollars to help bring the project to
life that is amazing there are that many
people that
care that much about their pepper but
damn 190 million dollars is a ton of
money for a pepper grinder it's just so
much money i mean james it probably
leaves the one question that everybody's
asking well here we go again
is this pepper mill the real deal
or does it just grind your gears i'm
gonna say it's real deal right it's good
it it it does what it says it does but
it's really expensive
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
jade would you mind lifting the oh
lifting your blindfold
oh
like it i like it so it's like it's like
a drip coffee thing there is more to it
james and you you have reviewed
something like this before it's not a
bloody alarm clock is it it's only a
bloody alarm clock oh no
this is the barissia tea and coffee
brewing alarm clock oh no the barisia is
an automatic tn coffee brewer for your
bedroom and or office featuring an alarm
clock that will wake you up with fresh
brew every morning or have one ready as
you go to work okay interesting so let's
talk through some of its main features
it creates the perfect brew by brewing
at 94 celsius ensuring extraction and no
burning it has brew delay which means
you can set your alarm so it starts
brewing five minutes before
or after you wake up
it's made from oh goodness borrow silica
glassware stainless steel accessories
and a real timber tray
for transportation real temperature
timber your timber apparently
james
so you can take it to the table as well
nice that is risky and then when i've
just woken up
so now would you mind making coffee
should i make some coffee please okay
it has a smart mini fridge the milk
carafe sits in the middle which turns
the fridge on if milk is present if the
milk isn't present the cooler will stay
off due to smart infrared sensors that's
clever it has a storage drawer for
storing weeks worth of ground coffee tea
or sugar it has a shower head yes what
new and improved shower head disperses
and restricts the rate of the water over
the coffee grounds or tea leaves for
more even brew
imagine showering in coffee
[Music]
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh here we go here we
go
have a rinse get under the armpit it's a
real shower so if you're actually making
pour over coffee like a v60 it's very
important to hydrate all of the grounds
isn't it you don't just pour into the
middle you do make a circle and it's
important that it's all like even so
it's this there's a use to the shower
head yeah i think i'd want it that would
wait five minutes after my alarm yeah i
wouldn't want to wake up to that sound
because i would be really scared
you've got coffee
this makes one cup of coffee which feels
quite selfish if you are in bed with
somebody else and
wondering whether i don't know
it it does feel very selfish yeah i'd
only have one cup of coffee but it will
wake both of you up if we were sharing a
bed and i rolled over to see you sipping
on a coffee
and me up i would be jealous af yeah
you're absolutely right also it doesn't
take that long to make a coffee but it
makes coffee it keeps milk cold
it'll wake you up james do you wanna
have a punt at how much we paid
i'm gonna say it was
a hundred pounds
right you know what let's let's let's
skip the other price reveal and move and
move to the punish hour it's a key part
of the process i don't want to say
because it's 340 what
what
wait what this was 304
pounds
what the hell
you try to be nice and then they just
hit you with that don't they
so
james i've got to ask you the question
um
an exciting device or not worth the
price it has not worth the price well i
i just want to point out that 3 000
people kind of disagree with you here
it's raised a lot of money we make
videos on the internet i'm used to three
things days
[Music]
james last one today move the clash oh
oh it's
lighter than i expected oh
it looks very nice looks different
it's got a nice attachable spatula
wooden spatula and a
steamer
sieve type thing so this is the from our
place eight in one pan it's a cult
favorite best-selling always pan and
this do it all wonder is designed to
replace eight traditional pieces of
cookware plus they reckon it looks
pretty good as well it does look good
i like the finish too i like the texture
on it with the always pan you can braise
sear steam strain saute fry boil serve
and store
now just because we've got your wheat we
want to like test your ability so we've
got several recipes for me to cook i'm
going to start off a recipe inspired by
a hollywood
star
from her new netflix cooking show maybe
you've seen it i have not seen it but
are you talking about is it paris hilton
oh oh oh is it could it be
it is all right yes it is yeah this is
her frosty's french toast okay i thought
it might be french toast and she
actually
cooks this dish in that pan on the show
no
um
how do i make it
good question that's really good
and you're a chef yeah
oh do you see that eye roll
i've missed those eyes paris doesn't
give a recipe so which gives you some
ingredients and work it out you're a
chef
[Music]
so far how are you finding the the pan
the pan seems pretty good very very
nonstick i like that you've got a nice
little resting place for yourself i do
it's nice i like that the pan feels good
it's a nice weight it looks nice
just one quakers
yeah oh
classy what would paris do
they're cream
[Music]
whoa from height
i'm enjoying this this is good
it looks good
[Music]
okay now give it here we've got some
more work for you i don't get to we need
some lunch now come on come on
thank you
for lunch we'd like you to make us some
gyozas using the steam basket function
oh nice nice okay i like having jokes
back you know what sometimes we don't
give these chefs enough credit paris
done a great job here
so a little bit of water in the pan
the gyoza go into the steamer basket
that goes on top and then the lid on top
and it all fits perfectly
have you guys upped your game a little
bit why'd you say that because these
gyoza look homemade got proper food now
mate
i almost said that with a straight face
i leave everest is out of the country
and suddenly we've got homemade gyoza
what can i say worth pointing out you
could steam these in the silver bars
yeah i reckon we'd get away with that
yeah
this bamboo basket is actually an
additional extra
but it's made to fit a pan so actually
it's not just an eight in one pan it's
an eight in one pan with extras if you
require i think they're done okay nice
let's have a look whoa oh they do look
really good really good they look great
i mean there's not much to say about the
pan it worked the water fits it boiled
the water
and it's steamed great i'll tell you
what pass them over here and we'll give
them a try and um and then maybe you can
cook us some dinner what yep it's an
eight in one pan mate come on we've only
done two things yep
so that was breakfast and
very hot lunch um we'd love you to cook
us some dinner we've got you all the
ingredients that you need to make our
one pot pork and mustard pasta
from one of our meal packs which is our
recipe app which you can get in the link
downstairs
christmas
smoke alarm off again it said high heat
it's very very non-stick pork's browning
nicely do you reckon you're getting some
even heat distribution there uh yeah
definitely no complaints i mean talking
of no complaints
this has had 20 000 reviews but
out five
okay pasta looks cooked the sauce has
reduced nicely so the next one is peas
peas and high heat
[Music]
so thanks mate that's brilliant we could
just have our dinner are we lovely
lovely
so while we enjoy this um
let's get your ass my ipad
what are your thoughts on the pan
overall
uh i think it's great pan i think it's
nice and light it's very non-stick uh
the only thing i did notice when i was
cooking french toast is that the butter
fell to the sides
which shows there's just like
maybe curvature which is not ideal if
you're cooking something like french
toast because you want butter to kind of
sit under the toast rather than go to
the size of the pan and how much do you
think we paid for that nice pan
120 pounds
james we can reveal the price of the pan
was one hundred and twenty five pounds
not bad
bad guess plus if you wanted the
additional spruce steamer that's another
25 pounds that's quite a lot i think if
you're buying that pan you're buying it
because it looks good and you're going
to want the whole set you know 125
pounds is not a cheap pan saucepans cost
a lot of money if you want like really
high quality you know so
yeah it's a tough one like i'm not going
to say it's outrageous but i'm not sure
i'd spend 125 pounds on it well the
question is james is this a decent pan
or are you just not a fan i can't deny
that it's a decent pan like it's worked
perfectly and it looks nice and
i like it it's a decent fan well over to
you guys what did you think of james's
surprise appearance do you think he's
changed
he's just as good-looking and also let
us know what kitchen gadgets we should
be looking at in the future comment down
below and don't go anywhere because in
the blooper we're going to be asking
james some rapid-fire questions
okay
we have an app it's called meal packs
and helps you plan and then cook a
week's worth of meals using one set of
ingredients saving you money cutting
down on food waste and answering the age
old question what should we have for
dinner it's free to try for a whole
month the link is in the description box
below
[Music]
are you ready
yes do you miss the chaos i do miss the
chaos but also it's nice to
come into the chaos and be able to [ __ ]
from the coast
have you discovered any new ingredients
in your new job uh yes lots i used
garlic scapes a few weeks ago which i've
never heard of i thought it was like a
spelling error but they're like these
long kind of spring onion things that
taste garlicky i know we got a load of
questions from the community but i think
the biggest one from us oh yeah
are you happy of course i'm happy yeah
i'm good yeah good i'm pleased to be
here yeah filming with you guys please
that i can i can explore food somewhere
else as well it's nice best both worlds
