Sorted Food

The Sorted Food team is trying out kitchen gadgets credited with changing the way the world cooks, putting each one through real kitchen use and judging how well it holds up today. The test is drawing a large audience, with viewers weighing in on which inventions genuinely earned their place in home kitchens and which have been left behind by time.

Sorted Food, the British cooking group known for its food-science experiments, is asking whether some of history's cleverest kitchen gadgets still hold up, touring inventions from past eras and putting them to practical use in modern cooking. Viewers are weighing in on which old tools were genuinely ahead of their time and which were impractical novelties.
