There’s nothing quite as satisfying as cooking a delicious meal that you’ve just prepared in your own kitchen- especially when you’re supporting local businesses at the same time!

Hey, here's an idea: These DIY kits always give you a lot of ingredients, more than you need to complete the recipe. Case in point, the sushi dog kit with all the extra rice. How about for a challenge the Normals are given a random assortment of the leftover ingredients from these kits and told to come up with a dish. 30-45 minute time limit, and you can use stuff from the fridge, too as long as they're not the main part of the dish.

@adde9506 3 жыл бұрын

Apparently, in the US we should buy flash frozen. Usually the fish is sold thawed, but having been frozen for shipping kills parasites, rendering the fish sushi grade, as long as it doesn't smell.

@BlanekdCheque 3 жыл бұрын

There’s no official certification, but sashimi grade tends to indicate both quality, and quality control to ensure that it can safely be eaten raw. And just like the commentator above pointed out, there still are regulations. “Any fish sold within the EU since 2006 that’s intended to be eaten raw, such as sushi and sashimi has to have been frozen for at least 24 hours below minus 20 celsius.” But no, there’s no higher organization going around grading fish

@chandrawong449 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure of label regulations, but when I go to the fish monger, I ask for sushi or sashimi grade fish all the time. If a person is new they might have to ask about it, but their tuna is always safe and they always tell me that while the salmon should be safe, they have to tell me to freeze it before using (so I do). Not all fish that's been frozen is safe to eat raw.

Bakester Box sounds like an absolutely awesome idea. It sounds like they need a little more testing from normal people to get the details down, but it's really such a unique addition to the DIY food kit world.

I'm going to be cooking a 3 course meal and wedding cake for my wedding in a week. (Whilst complying with lockdown rules) just for our household, but I imagine I'll be looking back through my Sorted recipe catalogue for some tips and tricks! Loved this episode and how honest you guys were about the quality/structure of the meal kits. I've been eating more plant based recently and also tried to become more conscious of packaging around my food. My very best to the wizard-quick food team, too X

a little tip on melting the cheese on the burgers. when the burgers are almost ready put the cheese on top, leave the burgers in the frying pan to finish cooking on the hob and use a lid from a same sized saucepan. put the lid on the frying pan and the heat and moisture will melt the cheese perfectly every time without the need to put it under a grill, that way it won't burn.

I hope you guys see this comment regarding the shrinking tart case. One reason why it seems that it shrunk too much is that it was not moulded right. I noticed this was the case when I would not tuck the dough all the way to the side corners. Then while it bakes, the dough flattens down to fill that space and that's why it seems that the dough shrank, giving a very short tart shell. I think this is what probably happened and I always make sure to really tuck it down to the corners and it has helped me quite a lot. Also, using a Microplane zester to clean up the edges of the tart shell makes a huge difference.

Great episode. I really like these food kit videos - like others have said I’m not near the UK so will never have these specific kits, but it does make me keen to check out what is locally available. Hope you’ll do more like this. :-)

My eyes went wide and I was frozen as I watched Barry mix that pastry dough with his bare hands, knowing the entire time he was softening that butter. Another modification I would have made was to either pull out my pastry cutter to cut that butter in by hand, or pull out my food processor to pulse the butter in with a standard blade until I got the desired consistency. And of course, as Ben said, pop that dough into the fridge before rolling it out.

Enjoyable review that go beyond just "enjoyment: tasty - not tasty and pricing: worth it or not" I appreciated the critiques of the Vurger's instructions and the shortfalls of the chocolate tart kit that was not completely fool proof. It's important to show viewers that are not food savy that struggling is sometimes due to incomplete or incoherent instructions. So many people are not confident in their cooking skills and sometimes it's just because they are not well guided.
