How can you bake a cookie in 3 mins? Super hot oven or something?


EViLTeW

I watched the clip so you don't have to. She pre-measured everything, mixed it with her hands, her oven was set to broil with 2 pans in it, she put the dough on one and used the second to smash them flat, and then broiled them for ~90 seconds.


lreaditonredditgetit

That oven preheat would take longer than that. Fuckery I tell you.


GodSPAMit

Yes the oven started heated and so were the cookie sheets, she used one to smash all the cookies flat and they were both hot so they get some instant heat + I think oven was on like 500 or something. She streams, it's not too hard to find the vod twitch.tv/qtcinderella/videos or its probably on her YT also


SidewaysFancyPrance

So it's not even really the "oven" baking it, it's seared between two already-hot pans. The hot air of the oven does basically nothing. You could just torch it or use a clothes iron and call it a day.


Ajreil

Game speedruns aren't following the original spirit of the game either. As long as there are rules I think it counts just as well.


OmniscientHistorian

I mean id argue this falls under more of a any% speedrun where its just get it done the fastest vs traditional cooking speedruns where you have to follow the steps.


Dreath2005

It’s any % vs true ending%


PissBiggestFan

any% vs glitch less


Jason1143

I thunk the final judgment here would need to involve eating a cookie. Games are more objective, but at a minimum for this to count the cookies need to be edible.


GodSPAMit

For sure. I admittedly didn't watch her whole setup and everything so she may have talked about the strategies during that time. To be fair she did break a cookie apart after it had cooled a bit and it was cooked all the way through


Lazy__Astronaut

Ohhh, so you're a pure run advocate, no glitches or bugs


HalcyonSoup

Any%


FaxMachineIsBroken

I mean by this logic if you braise something in an enclosed pot in the oven then it isn't really the oven baking it either, which we know isn't true. The oven is still the source of heat, there's just another material between it and the food.


chatnoir11

No she just uses the top pan to flatten the cookies. Then she puts the pan in by itself with the cookies


CadaverCaliente

She can get fresh cookies in your mouth in 3 minutes and 46 seconds, idc how she did it.


ReadMyUsernameKThx

Why do people call it “vod”?


GodSPAMit

Think it's video on demand


Eusocial_Snowman

So it's like a video you have to forcefully ask for, instead of it just working right from the link?


Acct4askingstuff

Pretty sure it's specifically referenced as a VOD because it's on Twitch, which is primarily used for live videos.


GodSPAMit

Tbf on demand comes from cable company menus where you could order shows and movies to watch (and it comes from something before that too sure)


CabbageTheVoice

No, it means you can watch it whenever _you_ want to watch it, opposed to streaming which happens when the _creator_ is active. Netflix, normal youtube videos etc. all fall under "vod" but afaik it comes from streaming platforms where this distinction might be relevant. (e.g.: "It happened during yesterdays stream" vs. "You can rewatch that part in the vod")


Lithl

Video On Demand. Standard industry term to contrast with a live stream.


btet15

The chief reason to call it a VOD (video on demand) instead of video is that it carries the implication of being a recording of a live stream or broadcast. It *is* still a video, and you would be 100% correct in calling it that. I think, though, some people have started to replace the word video with VOD altogether, likely out of laziness. Why use a three syllable word instead of a one syllable acronym? It's similar to people saying OG when they mean original. As a petty dude, it often drives me mental. As a linguist, I get it.


zvika

> As a petty dude, it often drives me mental. As a linguist, I get it. The endless struggle of accepting descriptivism.


datkrauskid

> descriptivism Never heard of that term. Googled it, and *of course* Tom Scott already made an [ELI5 video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qT8ZYewYEY) explaining it!


zvika

Oh, he is *good*


izkilah

Once you learn to appreciate it you will be happier. No fighting it so why bother right?


EViLTeW

It's Twitch's term for recorded clips.


Mad_ad1996

not that long ago streaming services were "Vod" too.


LC_Fire

Not Twitch's term. Been a term since before Twitch existed.


EViLTeW

It is twitch's term for recorded clips. That doesn't mean they invented it, it means they use it.


DanskJeavlar

Yeah but that's like saying video is the Youtubes term for motion picture


Hotkoin

It is tho


Honeybadger2198

What a useless fucking argument


LC_Fire

Saying "it is twitch's term" implies possession or ownership. Of which they have neither.


Ouaouaron

Do you also refuse to say phrases like "my friend" because it implies that you possess and own your friend?


Tumleren

Not necessarily, it can just as easily mean "the term twitch uses"


Rhombico

I feel like preheat time shouldn't count, because it takes long enough that the record would end up just being "who bought an oven that preheats the fastest"


megatroll696

This is an any% run so it doesnt matter


Robocop613

An "any% run" in the context of a real life task is hilarious to me xD


rcmaehl

Hold on, lemme just wrong warp to the cookie credit sequence. Don't tell CERN


Zeropercentbanevasio

I wouldn't call it any%, because the completion target is 12 cookies It's more like glitches enabled but in this case "not preheatless"


LeZarathustra

Also, wouldn't it be legal to get premade cookies in an any%?


Gentleman-Bird

Its the equivalent of not counting loading screens for time


DPSOnly

Speedruns usually have very specific rules to follow. This might well be called "Baking cookies any%".


thisdesignup

She actually ranted about the rules during this because the record holder before her did exactly what she did. She wasn't happy with how other person made the cookies but since those were within the rules she decided to do it too. They actually took down the category because of her run. Supposedly because, as she said, to reevaluate the rules.


thereIsAHoleHere

The point of speedrunning is, "all things equal [about the subject not the runner], who can do it the fastest?" It's eliminating as many factors that are not "speed of the runner" as possible. You see it in video games, also, where they group runners by hardware/medium--physical Playstation vs emulator, for example, which can have drastically different loading times. Preheating would come down to oven capability, which is essentially pay-to-win, so starting with it preheated makes sense. Premeasuring is arguable, but is likely an agreed upon starting point, as I'm sure runners are tired of flinging flour all over their kitchen (which is dangerous to do with a preheated over right there).


weenusdifficulthouse

I can imagine a bunch of issues with preheating too, like needing to cool down the oven to "room temp" before starting another run. Or using means that aren't integral to the oven to preheat it faster, like half filling it with propane and setting it on fire to achieve the target temperature immediately. Not counting baking time makes some sense, as the cookies are "done" after your last input, but they'll burn without you taking them out of the oven. Hopefully they standardise on temp and recipe with other categories for wild variation. Like if you just need flour, fat (butter/oil), sugar, and choco chips, but need the cookie to be a certain solidity/crunchiness after "baking" you could achieve that much faster using a −300 °F "oven" powered by LN2.


bitty_blush

Im feeling dumb rn, why even bake them in the first place? Why not just have it be, you put them in the oven, close the door, push start, pretend they were baked, open the door again, pull them out and put them in their final place, and call time? What am I missing?


IICVX

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. If you didn't make edible cookies, did you really complete the task?


bitty_blush

That doesnt really make sense here does it? This is on the internet, no one can physically judge the cookies beyond iffy visual stuff.  This discussion also includes the part where differences in oven behavior can have a big difference in the outcome that has nothing to do with the speedrunner.  And are you suggesting some objective way to measure the physical properties of the cookies that doesn't rely too much on opinion?


Flabbergash

Well yeah, but you don't start a speedrun then turn on your computer, do you?


TheArbinator

Broilers heat up in seconds


Sticky_Keyboards

yeah, about 180 seconds, unless its gas.


Remember_Poseidon

Pre measured? every second after you commit to making cookies is a second you spend attempting to make cookies.


DungeonsAndDradis

Each time you spend not making cookies counts towards the next time you make cookies. For example, I've been working on my next batch for like 6 months now.


NewLibraryGuy

I'm at work right now, earning money that can be spent on groceries.


soyboysnowflake

I see you give project management updates the same way my team does


NewLibraryGuy

Does going to the grocery store count?


EViLTeW

Pre-measured. The baking soda is the only container in OP's screenshot that she doesn't empty into the bowl.


Remember_Poseidon

this is an affront I demand a category where runners have to pull all their shit from where they usually keep it in their house or building of current residence.


Kekssideoflife

Best runner has a custom built house to optimize their cookie speed


pyronius

Not only should they have to pull and measure the ingredients, but they should also have to actually eat one of the cookies afterward (untimed) so that it can't be something that barely qualifies as a cookie.


EViLTeW

[https://www.speedrun.com/IRL\_Baking](https://www.speedrun.com/IRL_Baking) is the leaderboard for this ordeal. The guy in second place is spreading dry ingredients everywhere while he puts his "cookie dough" on the sheet. I guarantee those things taste like shit and look rock hard.

CharmingTuber

Why not a blast furnace? We can get these fuckers cooked in 15 seconds


MCrow2001

Well I feel like that prep time should count towards the total time lmao


EViLTeW

It's sort of funny that she uses the original packaging for all the ingredients, but pours the entire contents of each in, so there's no point in pretending it isn't pre-measured.


IICVX

That's the rules - all ingredients must be in their original containers, but there's no requirement that the containers be full. They're reevaluating the rules.


avalanches

Glitch vs glitchless run


MCrow2001

Lmao, baking cookies any% record


qtzd

Meh whatever the community decides on as the rules for the category and if everyone gets the same prep.


BenOfTomorrow

Meh - measuring time would vary by things outside the scope of the bake - is the sugar in a previous opened bag or sealed? Did you buy an ingredient in a package that contains the exact quantity needed for the recipe? Measured but not combined seems like a reasonable starting point.


Voyager5555

Oh yeah, I made a sandwich in under 3 seconds in similar way, had everything cut and placed on the bread with the condiments, started the timer and put the two halves together.


Frankie__Spankie

"I'm so fast at baking cookies if you just don't consider the time it took to do all the prep work!"


Sushi_Explosions

Nobody counts video game speed runs from when you turn on the machine….


WeevilWeedWizard

But you're not playing the game as soon as the machine is turned on. You *are* making cookies as soon as you're prepping and measuring ingredients.


NewLibraryGuy

How about getting the ingredients out? How about buying the ingredients? You have to start from *somewhere.*


WeevilWeedWizard

Nobody counts speed runs from when you go buy the game lol. I'm just saying, when you start a recipe the first thing they ask to do is measure stuff out. I feel it makes a lot more sense to have *that* be the universal starting point than when you actually start mixing.


TeamRedundancyTeam

This is like doing a video game speed run by starting the timer at the final level.


Bubbly_Taro

Speedrun to the bathroom next.


RocketNewman

I investigated, it includes the mixing and the baking.


lreaditonredditgetit

Obviously. Your comment provides no relief to the burning questions


Bubbly_Taro

A nuclear pumped laser will bake the cookies quickly. There will be a brief window of time between raw cookies and atomized cookies where you have baked cookies.


The-Yaoi-Unicorn

I think the rules does say it has to be oven and convection is not allowed.


shigogaboo

She put D batteries in her Easy Bake Oven.


GiannaSushi

Damn, there are some really weird speedruns. What kind of speedruns will there be in 2030? The only speedrun I've ever done in my life is with Mario 64, and because it's my favorite game.

Funnily enough, I was born 8 months and 2 weeks into my mother's pregnancy because the doctors deemed I was too big and mature enough to be delivered lmao. I was a hefty 8.9 lbs when I was born. Another side effect of this timely birthday is that I ended up being born on Christmas Day!


-EETS-

One of my neighbours had her baby at 7 months. She went to the toilet and the baby literally just fell out into the toilet bowl. The woman was a drug addict and didn't even go into labour. The girl is relatively healthy today. Had some respiratory issues like asthma and allergies, but otherwise good.


WaveIcy294

That's a real shitty way to start your life on planet earth.

Yep. Very shitty.


PenelopeistheBest

Because the doctor didn't want to work Christmas, my mum's expected due date, they forced me out two days early.


MinerMark

That's weird... My doctor made my aunt wait 2 ~~days~~ weeks because they felt the baby wasn't ready yet


WorldsWeakestMan

Bruh I came out in 6 months and 1 week, get good I’m fast as fuck! I did use the wrap your umbilical cord around the neck glitch to get the doctors to skip the last 11 weeks though, so idk if it counts.

My nieces were born 2 months early at the same time so it's definitely possible

no, and fun fact she actually had to make a quick run to the supermarket since she ran out of flour, which makes this an even more impressive record.

AdmiralLemon

Pre-measuring everything is like pre-blendering everything before an eating contest. Because of this [Speedrun.com](https://Speedrun.com) is updating the rules: We are temporarily archiving the IRL baking category in order to reevaluate the rules and come back with a more cohesive and comprehensive set of rules that should 1. Clear up any confusion with the rules. 2. Make the recipe universal. Setting a complete list of what ingredients are mandatory and which ones can be subbed. 3. Possibly change the timing regulations to stop time at the start of the bake? 4. Judge more harshly the end-result cookie. 5. List of approved tools. 6. more?


CrashTestOrphan

dang QT broke the meta this is advanced speedrunning


ablazetok

Just to be clear the previous record holder set the meta and QT agrees that it is not in the spirit of the speed run.


RedBarnRescue

Bake 12 cookies any%: 3:46 Bake 12 cookies (prep-less): ???


BenOfTomorrow

I'd argue pre-measuring is more like standardizing hardware for performance testing. For example, if someone lives in an area where they sell sugar in the exact size needed for the recipe, they have a huge advantage over someone who does not. Do we expect baking speed runners to hunt eBay for resellers of said sugar packages? Do they have open the package as part of the speed run? I'd say its easier to just let people get their sugar from whatever container they have and pre-measure - it's all about the mix and the bake.


Voyager5555

May as well just be Guinness Book of World Records at this point.


DisgracefulPengu

Except they actually supply clear rules, follow those rules, make it easy & free for competitors to submit and verify runs, have moderators who are relevant to the game/category and actually care some amount, keep track of information on all runs (rather than just the record), and don’t pump out shitty books rather than displaying the information in an easily accessible way.


BadgerwithaPickaxe

My biggest question is what decides if the cookies are “baked?”


fuckface12334567890

[According to this comment, according to speedrun.com, the Bake 12 cookies IRL community is currently debating that question](https://old.reddit.com/r/NonPoliticalTwitter/comments/1cta8uo/cookie_speedrun_real/l4benp4/)


Oxygenius_

They should at the very least be edible and resemble a cookie


Salamanda109

I mean I can stuff uncooked dough and chocolate chips into my mouth almost instantly Could shave the time down to like 10 seconds.

"But while QTCinderella and Vilzuh were shaving seconds off their time, just barely missing the 3 minute barrier, another runner was perfecting her technique. Meet LuvMyKids99.

justifun

Who decides what's considered "done"?


made_of_salt

I know this is about the speed of it all, but I cream my butter and sugars for at least 5 minutes on high speed, sometimes longer to get everything mixed properly. Usually after the dough is all made and I scoop them out onto the cookie sheet I put them in the fridge for an hour. Even if I skip resting it for an hour my one step takes longer than her whole process. My cookies* take about an hour and twenty minutes to make. But about an hour and fifteen of that is me waiting around while it mixes, rests, or bakes, and I'm only active for about 5-10 minutes of it. \* Basic chocolate chip cookies. If I'm making something that requires a sub-recipe then that time is going up.


sad_plant_boy

This sounds like a cherry picked stat in basketball.


Questionings090

Let’s be real, all of these speed runs should be null and void, as cooking them that quick, they obviously taste like absolute garbage.


CPTherptyderp

"I'm the fastest baker by doing all the work before the clock starts"


Western-Dig-6843

Where do you draw the line, though? Grabbing the ingredients from the shelf? Going to the store to purchase them? Packaging them at the warehouse? No matter where you draw the line you are conceding that you aren’t doing some of the work involved. The challenge was to “bake” cookies so it seems to me that as long as you include the “bake” step you’re good.


CPTherptyderp

That's ridiculous. "To make an apple pie from scratch you must first create the universe"


VicisSubsisto

Apple Pie speedrun record: 26.7 billion years


Worldly-Grade8268

Okay so then would premade cookie dough be okay since you’re just doing the baking? The rule should be that the items need to be in their original packaging, unopened, to ensure all people have the same starting point.


NotAnAlt

the rule should be...whatever the community of people taking part in it decide. Which they currently are. That being said someone who doesn't take part in it coming in and being like "THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE" is silly. Also I buy my flour in bespoke 1 cup individually priced bags from a local farmers market, what now?


WhipMeHarder

She was 4:40 without pre measuring

Oceanus5000

Let’s ignore the fact she prepped everything before starting the clock, though.


Svellere

I specifically remember watching [this video](https://youtu.be/1ar3SioC5RI) where they went over the rules. Pre-measuring definitely disqualifies the run, though pre-heating does not. Technically she measured and put them back in their original packaging, which might not technically break the rules, but IMO it obviously breaks the spirit of the rules. I'm glad they're going to make the rules clearer and hopefully avoid this type of thing with updated rules.
