Why isn't there a clip of that happening at the end of this video as an outtake though?

It's always Sorted or Sordid with these guys 😅

and no jamie in sight

You should watch Barry Lewis's older videos then. He just about burns his house down multiple times plugging 110v appliances straight into 220v... Which includes a toaster.

@@skrenos If you ever wondered why he moves so often, you know the reason >:P

Ben's reaction to that barbaric action was appropriate, I'd say.

@@TheIvoryDingo BARBARIC ACTION 😂

@@TheIvoryDingo Absolutely justified. As he put the knife on the bag I was thinking "No he wouldn't, this is a cooking channel..." and then he did. Just chaotic

Ben "Mm turtles..."

Barry really is a dark horse. I never picked him for a maniac.

I admit there is probably some sous vide level temperature and time controllers in it, along with the mechanism to adjust the chamber for the bread thickness, but in a lot of ways it is really simple: The nonstick hot plates on the top and bottom are intended to be in direct contact with the bread. The compartment is designed to be essentially airtight, only releasing steam once the inside pressure goes above a particular point. The hot plates are probably intended to not get above the optimal surface temperature range for perfectly toasted bread (which I am sure they studied thoroughly). You have to set the thickness of the bread so it can adjust the gap and set a basic time limit. The time is probably used as a baseline, modified by sensors inside to detect there is a possibility of excessive moisture loss. With practice, and the exact specs of the different programmed bread sizes, you could probably get a matching sides. The bread/sandwich being out of spec is probably a big reason why the top was not as amazing looking as the bottom. Rather than contact browning, the top results were obviously from radiant heating Your standard toaster just has some very unsubtle heating elements that essentially get space heater/electric fire hot. It is designed with free-flowing air circulation, so it doesn't explode, and is controlled by an adjustable thermocouple designed as much to reduce the maker's liability risk as making your toast. It has less control than that on a good electric kettle.

We did get a "...more turtles...", though! 4:46

keep dreaming

Thats exacly what it reminds me of. Although they dont capture the vibe in its fullness, they give me a hint of it. They capture that wonderlust, and curiosity. As well as the humour and crudeness.

Don't they take that title already by themselves? Considering Sorted are priceless tools of the best kind.

@@DomenBremecXCVI That is the most "awwwww" inspiring, cute, cuddly comment ever (and I completely agree)

@michael Longley or maybe a pass it on episode.

Whilst snacking on Gold Panettone

chefs with cheap kit normals with expensive would be a laugh

Until Barry cuts bread through plastic 😂😂

I heard somewhere they're the best of friends. Something about watershed ecology.

"Barry and Ben are the best of friends" 😉

Right?! They have fantastic friend chemistry!

@@mariaoberg9880 "They live together in a country cottage..."

could be a follow up i believe this was just a "does it actually do what it says it does" type video

I'd love t o see the blind taste test too.

I thought the exact same thing. Wouldn't a panini press do the same thing?

I mean the point of the video was never to compare it to other toasters on the market, but rather to try to understand how such an expensive toaster ended up on the market, as they say themselves towards the end of the video. Nevertheless I agree that a blind comparison video would be funny.

@prizna123 There's a great video on 'How to Drink' where he blind taste tests whisky from cheap to expensive, one of which is a $3000 bottle of whisky that he raved about in another video...only to rate it as probably 3rd from bottom on the blind taste test and admits that the price probably biased him in the original video.

I came to the comments to suggest this one too!

This is better than Balmuda

@@AllTheArtsy I kinda agree, but still - would be fun to see.

I thought that toaster was the peak already, wasn't expecting there to be another more expensive toaster.

Techmoan reviewed that one…

Mitsubishi's aircraft were also years ahead of the competition in 1939...

Ionised air fridges aren't common? My cheap one off amazon has that

Some of their rice cookers are amazing too. I've seen Japanese rice cookers that can make cakes 💀

Mate this is a load of shite for people with far too much money

@@Forestgravy90 it depends, you can buy a microwave that will last 5 years for £40 or one that will last for 20+ years for £150. Expensive often ends up being cheaper in the long run.

Agreed 100%. Also: I want one...

Was waiting for the day you guys would collab and y'all finally had a reason to :) Imma hopefully stop by your food truck for some of that toast soon! 😆 Actually, I'm pretty sure 'Eat your kimchi' (remember those guys 🥺), bought a Japanese toaster oven similar to this one years ago and told everyone that it was the best toast they'd ever had, guess they were right lol

Nooooooooooooooooo

Sorted x Jolly collab pleaseeee

@@kminiminionp Martina is still doing hella food content for EyK, and on her own channel, King Kogi, now! :)

Come on Josh, Gabie will love it!

On God my lady we all need this ridiculous THICC bread and posh ass toaster🙆🏽‍♂️💖

Don't want to rain on your parade, but the toaster probably sucks and Japanese bread is pretty shite unless you are buying the 1000 yen loaves from specialist bakeries. But then people like instant ramen, so it takes all sorts, eh?

I broke several $50/$70 dollar toasters and was just disappointed and disgusted with the quality. Was making toast at daughters house and her little cheap $20 toaster made lovely toast and even has a bagel setting and a frozen pastry setting.(Yay toaster strudel! ) So I go into Walmart and got the stainless steel version for $21, and I've had it for 4 years now, and it's a lovely little work horse of a toaster. I think, off hand, that it's just a little Hamilton Beach toaster. It even works perfectly for frozen waffles 🧇 😂

Your little machine is a toaster oven but very nice. We have an Oster that was on sale for $69. But we are going to donate as we bought a big microwave/ air fryer combo. Once we figured out the bells and whistles, it works beautifully

Definitely need James to come back for that one!

I would like to see the clip of them blowing up the toaster.

@@clrobinson1776 that was the point.

I will concur the Neuro Fuzzy is the best rice maker I've ever used and worth every penny if you enjoy rice as much as I do.

Those rice cookers have a chef inside them 😂😂

I have the NS-ZCC18. I absolutely adore it. Rice cooked in it is fantastic, and lasts more than 24 hours.

Where do you buy these in uk?

Haha, yes that was perfect! Tipsy Ben!

they live together in their country cottage😌

@@evarnae4341 I think it was in the Big Night In ep at the end of Berry Week. It was a Berry Custard Sandwich thing

@@merrymermaid They take baths together just to save water!

Jup, they said it at 10:42 as well.

True, but that level of toast without use of butter, AKA extra calories, is a game changer. I have to use like two or three Tbsp's of butter to get that

@@MarkRoberts-qr7spJust get a gym membership or a couple of weights instead and burn off those two tbsp's of butter, saves you a lot of money.

@@tomfoolery7797 I'm already in the gym. Most exercise doesn't really burn that many calories. With the exception of Olympic athletes... Lifting burns around 90-252 calories per half hour, that just ain't worth it to me

"I should never have trusted you!" and somehow *Barry* is the idiot? lol

@@fionaclaphamhoward5876 honestly you'd think after all this time Ben would've learnt Barry is impatient!!

I’m worried about the thickness of your walls, lol.

I was lost for words. I've never heard of anyone doing such a thing before

@@cynthiasmith9336 and then he wants to use cling wrap! His bread must go moldy so fast.

This is exactly how I do it too!

Never heard of sorted, this just came up as a suggestion to me though lol

Their excitement was so infectious! They kept trying new things, and I was here for all of it

Never heard of sorted. Im dedicated to toast.

i just paid $15 for a 2 slice toaster, the only reason i could see myself paying $15 for this fancy 1 slice toaster is to resell it to toast snobs for $300 ,my life is complicated enough, i am surprised at how many good reviews this got on amazon, people are praising it like crazy,but i just don't buy any of the bs ,i would pay $15 for my crude 2 slice toaster and walk right past a stand of these toasters given away free

Every single second of it😂😂

Or the chefs like they did with the Ferrari pizza oven

aka japanese people live in houses smaller than shoe boxes

We've had a lovely break thank you, we hope you did too :)

@@SortedFood good to hear! And thanks, yes I did! Going back to work tomorrow. 😁

thats a great idea they should try that!

It didn't look to have the depth needed for a filled bagel but its difficult to tell when not in person.

@@MaZEEZaM with how thick the slices of bread were it can definitely fit a filled bagel

@@katiequeen7225 at least half

I was thinking crumpets!!

They'll have to do a video short maybe to make up for it. Good point.

Ooh or bread and butter pudding

+

You do what? Just make french toast since you have to pre toast it to dry it out anyway

Yes, and other toastables, like bagels and toaster pastries and frozen waffles.

Buying this one twice, at that!

I kinda feel like because it’s fRoM jApAn it’s given some leeway. If this were made in Germany or the US and functioned the exact same way I suspect there’d be less fascination with it.

"Don't tell the FRENCH" Love it 😂

but if you imagine that you're gonna having wonderful toast every morning for at least 10 years (because Japanese manufacturing quality) 300 pounds is really a drop in the bucket

Yeah it’s kinda in the title though yeah?

@@acasccseea4434 Maybe I'm just cheap but the best toaster I ever had was the one my grandmother bought in the 50's. It was used well into the 90's and they were poor so it wasn't expensive. Perfect toast and TWO slices at a time! ;) But yes, I appreciate the aesthetic of investing in quality once instead of multiple cheaper appliances.

​@@acasccseea4434 still stupid amount this review is perfectly balanced by the review of a '50 toaster by "tecnology connections"

I’m going to buy this now.

well they ARE the best of friends lol

Mine too, along with Mike, Jamie and James :)

I can't believe people actually do this! I even recycle the bread bag if it's good enough for my small kitchen bins!

Probably because in the UK (and most of Europe) toast is often made from a very thin slice of bread. :-)

As someone in japan, the concept of soft middle toast costing 300$ means you can't use a proper toaster oven and a little butter. This product doesn't even toast both sides evenly.. This is the perfect example of gadgetry being only that and not practical for the price point.

Maybe explain how it's done normally (i.e., without a 300 pound toaster), so they can compare it to the toaster and reevaluate?

Not so foreign a concept here really. I particularly like thick toast [cut the bread myself] so it's still soft in the middle. Or when I used to make toast in from of the fire I'd sometimes only toast one side so it was softer. In some establishments toast done on one side was considered "posh" & it did make it softer. I'll often make muffins & crumpets only toasted on one side too. Then there was Mrs Beeton's 1861 "Toast Sandwich" which was a slice buttered toast between two slices of bread. [No really!] I've had one & it's pretty good.

I kinda figured out myself I prefer my toast with a soft middle and a crispy outside and I absolutely got blasted by my fellow Europeans. Apperantly some people are very passionate about it XD I use a panini maker to toast my bread and it does a pretty good job at keeping the middle soft.

Hi Gabie! I’m watching this video after binging on your recent uploads 😂😂

josh just said you won't let him have one, let him know you want one too!

Was just thinking that one would need at least 5 to run a toast cart or a small cafe. But I think people would definitely line up for this sort of thing, especially the French toast and croque monsieur.

100% agree that we need a comparison of Balmuda and Mitsubishi toasters. Let the expensive Japanese toasters battle it out for the best.

They already do a kitchen gadgets series and its about half and half absurd high-end and naff cheap junk.

Yesssss ever since I saw Simon review it I have wanted to get one!

Balmuda devices are good but grossly overpriced.

Ben didn't consent with shredded plastic on his toast either, but that didn't stop Barry from just cutting through the bag like a savage

🎆✨🎇🎉🎊 Happy New Year
