Which ones hold up better? Brocolli and cauliflower were terrible in terms of texture for me.

As a single guy who lives alone, fresh produce is a lifesaver. It doesnt taste like garbage, it tastes how it's supposed to and I'm only cooking for myself, it takes very little effort and a little goes a long way!

@@RBonfas Like Ben said, it depends on application. Broccoli is great in things like a stir fry or curry dishes. But if you're eating it by itself, it won't be comparable to fresh IMO.

I got divorced in 2008, and I had such a hard time with cooking for one without tossing out way too much in food waste. I grew up in a family without much money, and food waste was a big sin when I was kid. I guess it still feels that way, but I've since married the love of my life so now I cook for at least three. My wife, myself, and my dog Winston all get at least one good home-cooked meal seven days a week.

As a student I couldn't agree more. The cheaper cost, less wastage, more variety, ease of cooking and no room taken up in my tiny fridge space make any lost in texture work it with frozen veg

this is amazing! Something like "Day in the life of..." would also gives us insight on how a well organized professional kitchen works (not saying the lovely normals aren't professionally organized...)

Great idea. And bring back fridge cam

Came to the comment section to say how I would love more behind the scenes. To the best of my knowledge, we've never had a proper tour of the studio/kitchens! We get little glimpses, but I need more!

We need a video. I HATE shorts and they're destroying KZfaq.

Great idea..... and spot on..... Kush is exactly like that 😆

I don't know if they do it where you are, but I've recently started getting bags of mixed frozen peas, corn and diced carrot - with some leftover rice (highly recommend a rice cooker as well, they're so handy!! just rinse the rice a few times, get the right level of water in, and come back to perfectly cooked rice) and some condiments from the fridge and pantry (my combo is soy sauce, mirin, ketchup, and some stock powder) you can put together an easy fried rice in about 5 mins! Great to chuck an egg into too. We also always have a bag of frozen peas in our freezer - great way to add some extra veg to some pasta, or even just microwave it for a quick snack.

So glad to hear this 😀

Food processor and baby carrots are also a huge lifesaver

Thre fridge the size of airplane so its maybe even beter quilty

I dun have the same issue, but adding a bit extra to like when I do potatoes, like adding in a bit of frozen broccoli or carrots really adds something extra to an otherwise basic meat and potatoes meal. So I get what you mean. Or just add the frozen broccoli to a pan post-meat frying to use those juices and oils already there to help crisp and flavor the broccoli in a way that you dun get from just boiling it.

He walked straight into that one!

In season is different depending where you are?

It could just say the season rather than the month, like "late summer" as opposed to august

Internet search "What fruits and vegetables are in season right now"

​@@nicolad8822, absolutely. Below the equator seasons are reversed. Above the equator huge countries like Russia, Canada and the US are going to have very different produce in the north as in the south depending on the season. I live in central Missouri. I do have access to fresh seafood because an outfit here trucks it in daily from Louisiana. That's a 15 hour drive, minimum (have done it). So of course that seafood is pricey! I'd just as soon have local caught freshwater fish, catfish, panfish, bass. Just as tasty, much cheaper.

I would imagine the reason they haven't come up with a list is due to the worldwide nature of their audience. That being said it would be nice if they came up with at least a generalized list for the UK/Europe and for US/Canada. I would imagine the vast majority of their audience is in one of those two regions.

Love this 😆

Reminded me of Laurel & Hardy. 😆

Agreed from here in Wisconsin. So much great sweet corn grown within a short distance from home.

The Sorted guys need to visit the Minnesota State Fair where delicious food is on a stick!

I'm usually a microwave girl, but the few times I've had fresh watermelon in season and fresh mustard greens harvested from the soil that I ate seconds later...not even in the same universe.

Fellow Minnesotan, I was thinking I could never buy corn on the cob out of season because of how good it is here IN season!

Agreed. I'm in Idaho, and we like to get our corn from a local you-pick or the same farmer's market, or from another farmer that sells in a nearby parking lot

Yes I was thinking the same also the "fresh" one wasn't an actual fresh homemade one lol it was still store bought and reheated so unless kush made it himself I wouldn't class it as fresh

​@@saalihahussain8759thats exactly what I thought

Absolutely correct.

@@saalihahussain8759The parathas are classed as the ingredient and like all of the other ingredients in the video were store bought both in fresh and frozen forms. I think it would be cheating if you just bought frozen ones and then just made some from scratch, The ones made from scratch will always be better IMO. I would actually technically class the frozen as more fresh in this case as they are freshly cooked 🤣

@@iChilledLMy “issue”with it is that all the others were clearly ingredients that had then been prepared in the same way. The parathas aren’t an ingredient so the differences between the two are a lot more than just frozen or fresh. Specially served in such a minimal fashion compared to the rest.

I found that they had the blindfolds annoying

To be fair, sometimes they do differ. The parathas looked nothing alike.

@@tastymedleyssame as the lobster salad

Great idea! Glad you enjoyed the vid too :)

​@@SortedFood😊😊😊😊😊

I think frozen foods have a great place. But you need to know what you want. As for me, I have just been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney and a lot of frozen foods have phosphorus (as do other processed foods) so I have to read the labrls and stay away from phosphorus! Sigh!

What a wonderful memory to have ☺

Indeed. Here in New England there is fresh, there is farm stand fresh, and there is have water boiling before you go out to the corn patch fresh.

DELICIOUS 😋

Corn is super easy to grow. Half a dozen plants is enough for 2-3 people and it's simple to freeze any surplus.

My grandparents grew corn. My grandmother would put the pot on to boil, and once it started simmering she would send us out to pick the corn. Picked, shucked, and straight into the pot. Nothing beats it.

Wondering if putting them into air fryer makes a difference. Some things like frozen egg Rolls taste fresher after air frying

@@pookhahare they really need to be on a flat surface. as they defrost they change into a sticky dough and then crisp up, so when in the sticky dough phase they wouldn't want to be on anything not perfectly flat. think sticky pancake until they become crispy and amazing.

@user-lb2xy4fs7e use a parchment liner for flat surface?

@@pookhahare sounds like far more effort than just cooking them on a frying pan imo - the instructions tell you to flip the parathas every 30 seconds or smth until they're done.

Great tip! 👏

Sure thing! So glad it helps :)

From the other side of the bay, I’d expected like cooked frozen canners or something, not a big ol 2 pounder froze solid. The contents of that glass were unrecognizable as lobster on the screen, like you could easily tell what the fresh one was, but not that

Yes I feel the same too.

The price difference is transportation and handling costs. Frozen food can be packed densely, then moved without particular care or rush. Yes, there's a cost to freezing it, but the cost of fresh food climbs rapidly with distance from the farm but it's a much flatter cost for frozen.

It is because it was corn. no waste in your kitchen, and corn has just a few days shelf life fresh

Yeah, same. I have to keep reminding myself that Sorted is filmed in the UK and most of their fresh produce is imported. (And the locally-grown stuff isn't great anyway, to be honest, having lived there for a while.)

@@HaralHeisto In my country fresh produce usually costs less than the frozen. Fresh corn on the cob costs you 27 bucks while the frozen one costs 45 bucks. I am comparing supermarket prices which are marked up. I am not even adding the cost of fuel to me when I am taking my bike, car etc to the shops. We do have vegetable vendors who sell on push carts and who come to your colony/ street/ locality etc. They sell it at least 10 bucks cheaper than the supermarkets. So unlike UK it is not all economical to buy frozen stuff.

their pitiful cries got me 😂

😀We're so glad you enjoyed the video.... and find this type of content so informative and entertaining too

I love frozen udon noodles! thrown into a broth/water with carrot, onion, and a few cubes of Japanese curry roux makes a quick dinner

That's awesome 👏

That sounds stellar, I must try this. Favorite hot sauce?

@@gateauxgato tbh I use like a Korean hot sauce from T&T

My comment re price difference was deleted for some reason. It’s only marginally more than Tesco or Sainsburys.

Check out their _Chef Skill Challenge: Leftover_ video. They did that there :D Can't recall at the top of my head whether they have other videos about preserving extras.

Because people enjoy them? I'm sure a lot of your favorite foods are fed to folks in prisons. I don't get people saying prawns/lobsters arn't worth eating because they are underwater insects.. they have substantially more flesh on them. Why judge a food based on it's social standing before it was dead? I dont care if my food was a bottom feeder or an apex predator, I just want it to be tastyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Well hello there sir. I SECOND THIS

SOON 😀
