Reviewing Kitchen Gadgets S3 E3 | Sorted Food

As a truck driver, I have one of those electric sauce pans. It pulls 750 to 900 watts. I run it off my inverter, great for me, so I don't eat fast food every day.

The plug in pot was by far the best thing here. Affordable and really usable. I lived for ten-years in a cobbled together dorm-type room in Thailand and made a kitchen out of a sink, a fridge, a microwave, and a freaking amazing Toshiba rice cooker, which is honestly a similar thing just with even more settings. I made lasagna in that thing. I made mole nachos. I made rice and barley soup. I made all sorts of nonsense. I stir fried veggies. I steamed the hell out of some veggies and made the best rice ever. I made cake and cornbread. I'd never knock something like that. Amazing utility, honestly.

Speaking as somebody who lives with people that have disabilities and challenges, seeing a lot of these devices that were made for disabled folk and used to just get dumped on late-night TV shopping.... It's nice to see Kickstarter get these out to those who need them. You guys reviewing gadgets (like the hob-less pot) helps draw more attention to them and we are very thankful for it. Please don't ever stop reviewing gadgets that make simple tasks easier for folks with manual issues.

Honing and sharpening are different things. Sharpening sharpens a dull edge, honing straightens out a sharpened edge. When you steel your knives, you're honing them.

Anyone else immediately think “Claire Saffitz” when they brought out the snack coater? She would have killed for one of these during her m&m or jellybean episodes! 🤣💚💚💚

“Can I stir-fry on my chest?” should be the new official metric for portable kitchenware

I'm happy that one of you always remembers that if a gadget doesn't seem "necessary" at first, it's probably designed for and useful to people with dexterity problems. I see a lot of people online just straight up judging some gadgets as "useless" when it can be a life saver for somebody else. Great video as always

As someone who drives a semi truck, that first electric pot would actually be really useful for being able to cook without having to use some kind of camping stove

That pan product is a KILLER tool for people who live in college dorms have a limited kitchen, or are going camping. It's a great tool for people without a kitchen, which happens more often than you would think.

As someone with arthritis it is much easier pressing down hard on something once than stirring continuously for a long period of time. I have no problem with exerting strength, I'm plenty strong, it's just repeated movements that really flare up the ol' bones.

After watching the hand stir i would love to see you guys do a episode focusing on kitchen gadgets made or maketed towards people with disabilities. I would be interested to hear your thoughts perhaps bring in a guest or guest chef who has disabilities to hear there thoughts? I deal with chronic pain and a disability where i cant feel my hands half the time and have very weak hand strenth. Its made what i can do in a kitchen very limted. I agree a lot of said disabilty kitchen gadgets arent the best but i have found some over the years i use daily! ❤ Love you guys and keep up the great work!

“Doing it quicker makes my nipples feel less itchy,” might be the most confusingly relatable thing anyone’s ever said. Mike’s such a gem.

Mike's comment about the clamp on the last gadget was spot on - that's the part I might not be able to do with my hands, whereas I'd be fine with stirring. Different people have different disabilities, though, so I could see this being helpful to someone who has difficulties standing/sitting up for long periods of time, for example.

Biggest issue with the pot stirring device is the 'silent' claim, could hear the motor change pitch as the polenta got thicker. Living with people who have auditory sensitivities it is incredibly frustrating to buy something that claims it is quiet or silent and hear it whining / grinding etc. A decibel rating would be amazing but thats probably too big an ask of the industry. My spare change aside, solid gadget video as always! And big thanks to Mike and Barry for thinking of ease of use!!

That portable saucepan is very popular in student hostel/dorms in China. Really handy for cooking noodle soup in, instant or otherwise

I found you guys about a week ago and have been binge watching all of the old vids. I am officially addicted to Sorted lol, and am not exaggerating when I say I literally laugh out loud so hard that my neighbor texts to ask what I'm watching that's so funny lol. I've also learned so much, but the chemistry you all have is extremely genuine, very glad I found you, much love from NY! *Edited to add: thank you all so much for the warm welcome and the info, much appreciated! ❤

"Doing it quicker makes my nipples feel less itchy." LOL I understand what Mike is talking about but I can't stop laughing.

I really love how Mike looks at gadgets for people with dexterity issues. Like noticing that the stirring gadget would actually not be helpful because of the strength of the clamp. It really shows that he is thinking I through all the way

one use i can see for the stirry thing, is when Ben decides to make a risotto in pass it on, so you can actually add stuff as well

I can see the snack coater be useful for someone who has dietary restrictions and or food allergies to make their own snacks. Or people who live remotely, a grocery store is a 30-60 minute drive away. They would buy the ingredients in bulk and make snacks as they need
