[Narrator] - 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
and a whole world of stuff for you to explore
but everything we do starts with you.
(upbeat music)
- It's fridge cam time and this is Barry and I'm Ben.
- This might be our strongest lineup
of gadge yet, get ready.
- [Barry] It's gonna be a good day.
- We've got a good lineup.
- I'm really excited for gadge.
- [Mike] Turn around mate.
- Doesn't fit.
- Okay.
- Looks like something to do with fast peeling of potatoes.
- Rotato press,
- [Barry] Yeah!
- Ah is it for a potato?
- [Mike] Well my friend this is...
- [Barry] the Rotato Express, this electric peeler
peels almost all fruits and vegetables in seconds.
- [Mike] Automatic, rotating, multi-function,
stainless steel kitchen machine.
(knocking)
- Stainless steel?
- Is it?
Is it though?
- It's making claims.
- And this does not fill me with confidence.
- [Mike] We wanna really put it to the test
with I mean there's a potato and then there's that.
- Actually quite excited for this.
- Yeah, me too.
- [Mike] Stud your potato in first.
Very top one to skewer it, and then the middle bits
gotta make contact with the highest point
of the potato in which it touches.
- That was easy.
- So already, before I even see if it works or not,
- [Mike] It's ridiculous!
- It looks clever.
- Does dunnit? It does.
(whirring noise)
- [James] Oh my God it's kind of working.
- [Barry] I tell you what...
- [James] It's kind of working!
- Genius.
- And it automatically stops when it gets to the end.
- Can I just?
(applause)
- Very good.
- I am actually astonished that that worked
I was expecting this to be terrible.
- It doesn't get out the blemishes
that you would do if you were doing by hand
'cause I would have gone a bit deeper
on that bit to get rid of that little,
but actually assuming you can go again
and actually just create shoestring potatoes
you don't have to just use it for peeling.
- Dare I say it quicker than normal peeling.
- No. It wasn't.
- [Barry] Do you wanna race it?
- Yeah kind of.
- Okay we're going to do a chef peeling versus normal gadget
- On your marks, get set, go!
- [James] Oh I'm gonna hurt myself.
- Use it now go.
No it's not working, not working I've screwed up.
- [Mike] Barry you've let everyone down.
(dramatic music)
Look at him shaving it, he's taking the mickey out of you.
- Still a chef.
- This would be a perfect thing to test.
- So it claims to work on all manner
of fruit and veg presumably with thin peel.
(whirring)
- [Barry] Go on Ebbers, go on Ebbers,
(chanting) chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug.
- I'm not sure that is any quicker than peeling
it by hand if you were to peel it by hand,
the point is you could just leave it to go
and carry on making your crumble mix
or your apple pie crust, or whatever it is
you're going to use your peeled apples for.
- [Barry] He's lost, love it.
- [Mike] This'll be interesting 'cause you actually
do peel carrots.
- But I can peel it while I'm eating an apple.
Oh no it's not working.
- [Barry] Oh no.
- I need a girthier carrot.
- I see this being useful with stringy potatoes
possibly people with disabilities,
if you can't hold these with two hands
like, operating this is quite difficult
to me it often seems harder to use the gadget
than to actually do the thing.
- There is no denying that will use up
more space in my kitchen drawer than a vegetable peeler.
But it's kinda of good fun and it definitely works.
- Do you wanna hazard a guess in how much this retails for?
- I think that probably has a value of £24.
- £15.
- You're so close, it's £15.99.
- I still don't know if I have a place for it
in my kitchen, but I do like it,
it does work, it's good fun and have you got another
potato I can play with please?
(laughing)
- Useless or not?
(frustrated grunt)
- It's a bit useless, but not entirely useless.
- On the fence.
- I'm just gonna sit on a fence, I don't know.
- Such an Ebbers.
- Useless or not? You decide.
- [Mike] Turn around.
- Always love a molded bit of plastic
in this particular video format.
- There's not a lot to it is there?
- [Mike] Nope.
- If he gets this,
I'm his.
- Really? - For a day.
- Really your his for a day?
- You can do what you wants with me
for a day if you get this.
- I really wanna get it now.
- I made a promise to James, I'll do the same to you,
if you can work out what this is, I'm yours for the day.
- Brilliant.
- Mine for the day?
- That's how confident I am.
- To do whatever you wish.
- You will never guess what that is.
- It's very plastic,
it's low quality finish.
- So it's all plastic which suggests it might be
something suitable for a microwave.
It's kind of got holes in the bottom
which would suggest either something
will drip through or steam up.
- [Barry] Any guess?
- Not a clue.
- This is the Xinlie Nuts Snack Tray.
(laughing)
For pistachios and your phone,
use as a snacks food storage box put the phone
and snacks in the storage box above
so you can watch TV and eat snacks at the same time.
- [Mike] I know.
- (laughing) how are you still finding these?
- I chose my favorite entertainment app?
(kissing noises)
- Queer Eye on Netflix? QI?
- No it's not QI it's the first ever picture of a black hole
- [James] It's pretty good isn't it?
(laughing)
- There is nothing worse than cracking into pistachios
and not having somewhere for the debris,
it's up there with olives,
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Once you've chewed round the pip, you just spit in.
- This is the kind of thing that y'know,
you definitely pack in your backpack
to go on the train with or something.
- You'd be prepared to sit in a public place doing that?
- When else are you gonna use it?
- On the sofa, lying there on the sofa
with it on your chest.
- It's fantastic, it does exactly what it promises.
- I love the fact that somebody has thought
this was necessary.
(laughing)
- Yeah, high quality product.
- What has happened?
- I know.
- I wouldn't spend much more than a couple of quid on it.
- How much for a set of two?
- £14.
- If it's any more than,
six quid for two bits of molded plastic, I'm upset.
- 9.99.
- Wow.
- [Mike] For two.
- Do they come in different colors?
- 'cause this isn't really,
this isn't gonna suit my aesthetic.
- Well useless or not?
- I can't decide.
- Not. Fantastic that's so useful brilliant.
- [Barry] Do it.
- It's a knife sharpener.
- What gave it away?
- I've got one at home.
- [Barry] Well this is the AnySharp Knife Sharpener
with power grip, you can do chefs knives
and serrated knives.
- Very safe one handed use power grip suction
attaches securely to any flat surface.
(hums)
- [Mike] Nope.
Okay so wood doesn't work, I think first off
it's fair to say that this was probably manufactured
to work on a kitchen worktop. And it sucks.
- Oh I see what's happened there.
- [Barry] Hey you're lifting up our marble work surface.
- That's why you put this down oh great okay, interesting.
(scraping noise)
- So satisfying.
- [Barry] I Hate that noise.
(scraping noise)
(pained grunting)
- Seems pretty good.
- Would you like to chop something?
- [James] Yeah.
- Ah, ah, what an absolute joy.
- I feel like something like this comes into its own
with people who are less confident with using
a traditional steel, and I feel like you could stick that
to your work surface near where you keep
your knives, little and often every time
you've washed up and dried your knives,
give it one or two drags through there
before putting it back in a draw,
or a knife block or whatever.
- He's got a point.
- I would do that.
- [Mike] I'd do that
- Would encourage you to do little and often.
- And you've got one at home?
- Yeah.
- Same one?
- Yeah, if I'm gonna be honest I got it
when I was young and stupid and couldn't sharpen knives.
- Why do you still have it then?
- I use it for my cheaper serrated knife
and it does keep it sharp.
- Take a guess at what that retails at.
- A tenner maybe?
- £14.37.
- £8.
- It's a very easy way to sharpen knives.
- I actually would have something like that
on a work surface to encourage you
to sharpen little and often.
- Is that useless or not?
- It is useful.
- Useless or not? You decide.
- All right mate spin around let's finish strong.
- You're smiling.
- It's because I get to brand you.
- No.
- He's got it.
- I think this is a branding tool.
- [Barry] This is the IGGI BBQ Steak Branding Iron,
with interchangeable letters make an impact
and customize your cooking with a BBQ branding iron
the brilliant BBQ utensil that lets you add
some slogan based sizzle to your steak.
- I like that, it's like if your food
doesn't make an impact anyway; brand it.
So what we'd like you to do is select a phrase,
or something that you'd like to brand
this lovely steak with.
- I need your help.
- [Barry] Why? - [Mike] Why?
- 'cause I can't work out which way the letters
have to go to make sense on the steak.
- Hang on they're facing you
and then you're like, they need to.
- Right I've got an idea.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait I'm not finished.
- Is that gonna work or not?
- No it all looks horribly wrong.
- Cook a steak.
- [James] Oil, salt and pepper on the steak.
- Really hot pan sear it minute or so on both sides
then finish it with aromats; garlic, thyme, butter.
- So when do you throw all of that stuff in?
- You turn it and then you throw everything in
'cause otherwise it'll all burn.
Transfer it to a plate, let it rest for about half the time
of cooking, so maybe like three minutes,
and then brand it.
- I really want this to work.
- And I imagine, I reckon it would work really nicely
on a piece of roasted celeriac in today's day and age.
- [Mike] Oh Ebbers no!
- I think vegans could play with this game too.
- Don't be ridiculous!
- Vegans could do this too.
- So nervous, okay I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it.
- Here we go, here we go, here we go.
(sizzling)
- [Barry] Oh that looks satisfying.
- Whoa.
Oh dear lord.
- See?
- [Mike] Yeah.
What've we got? What've we got?
- It worked!
(cheering)
- Oh yeah Well done.
- I went with put it in my...
- Mouth!
- Yes.
- [Barry] But you couldn't be bothered to say
put it in my?
- No, well when you asked me if I was confident
whether I'd put them in the right way
I just used letters that are the same way both ways.
- [Mike] Oh you're such an Ebbers.
- So I tried to come up with a word
that only uses letters that look the same both ways,
hence mouth.
- That's the type of thing that
I expect Jamie to have at home.
But have tried using once and it never worked
but he still kept hold of it.
- It worked, it did what it said It was gonna do.
It was a little bit fiddly to get going but.
- I wanted that to work better,
it was a lovely cooked steak not very clear
maybe it would be better on celeriac.
- It really cuts really nicely.
- How much do you think that retails for?
- 24.99.
- I'd pay a good twenty quid for that.
Because of the entertainment it brings
not the results it delivers.
- 13.74.
- Bargain.
- It's probably a bit of a one off novelty thing isn't it?
- Useless or not?
- Useful.
- Two in one video.
- [James] I think it's useful.
- [Barry] Oh yes.
- Ultimate question; useless or not? You decide
what did you think of all of those?
I think I'm becoming soft in my old age.
- I know, if you're liking these videos
then make sure you like this video it really helps.
- Our resident dad isn't here at the moment
and I'm well I'm rubbish at 'em so Ebbers?
- Do you want another Dad joke of the week?
I'll tell one, I've got a new Viagra tea bag.
- Whoa oh no.
- Does nothing to improve my sex life,
but it does stop the biscuits going soft.
- Jamie come back!
(laughter)
