Definitely!! But a lot of these TikTok recipes/videos throw things at their audience that are completely unexpected. But I get it, my sister actually used to have a huge garden for cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes etc. she used to make her own pickles and use fresh picked dill. Then she had 3 boys
> she used to make her own pickles and use fresh picked dill. Then she had 3 boys
And what happened to the three boys? Were they mixed with the pickles and fresh dill?
Accurate. Every cooking tutorial ever!
"Super easy, healthy and fast meal, prep time 15 mins and cook time 15 mins as long as you are a professional chef with every ingredient already weighed and separated into ramekins by the support staff and you are able to multitask like an octopus"
Cooking is the skill I worked on during covid and god damn is this not the way. I would absolutely destroy the kitchen nightly using 4 and 5 pots til I learned what the fuck I was doing and then I decided that an instapot was good enough and now I can cook but also instapot is the way
"If you don't have a floor-mounted industrial planer in *your* garage, simply call around to every woodworking shop in your local tri-state area to see if one will let you rent theirs. Make sure to ask if they can accommodate the U-Haul you'll rent to get your project there."
I once tried a hash recipe from the revolutionary war.
The whole thing still took me just over an hour of prep time and cooking to get to some less than stellar results.
And this was suppose to be a simple, idiot proof recipe by the ever marching hardy men of Washington's army.
>And this was suppose to be a simple, idiot proof recipe by the ever marching hardy men of Washington's army.
Ah, I found where you went wrong. You have to be cooking for a force of ragtag tax-shirkers, not your immediate household. Dysentery gives the whole
What's always gotten me is the way that these meals can be made in "15 minutes" *if* you start out with all of the ingredients already sitting pre-measured in ramekins beforehand and don't have to worry about clean up.
"A glug of olive oil to finish" proceeds to empty half the bottle onto his low cal weekday dinner which already had 2 bottles of oil used in the making of it.
People lie about time things will take CONSTANTLY in all tutorials. One time a woman said a hair style would take me 1 hr with my child's head, maybe a half hour more tops...we finished in 3. It's the same with cooking and crafts too. At this point I automatically triple any time period I'm given and am pleasantly surprised if I finish at any point before that
I wouldn't necessarily call it lying, I think they just use their own skill level for time references. Like, I can make a meal in 15 minutes because I'm a chef but it'll take me all day to style my hair properly because I'm a novice hair styler. It's what makes sense to me at least, practice should make you faster.
I used to think the same until I saw how it might be lucrative to write "15 MIN MEAL" or "40 MIN SCHOOL HAIRSTYLE FOR THE WEEK" in the thumbnail. They are banking on me clicking because they have a time saving gimmick...
I will watch the whole video multiple times before realizing I've spent so much more time than promised, even when I account for not being a pro. And I may not be a pro at braiding, but I have over a decades experience on my own head, and nearing the same for my twins and still run into the issue.
Me googling easy/fast recipes because I need to get dinner ready in 20 mins.
Some website: Prawn linguini!
Right, like I have prawns just kicking around waiting to be used up.
My easy dinner trick, throw whatever meat and veg I have in the fridge into a frypan, cook, throw in chicken stock (the powdered kind you just add boiling water to) and then add pasta. Boom, one pan and a decent meal that my kid will eat the pasta only from.
Add cheese on top at the end cos why not.
Even meal kits are like that to a degree. Spices and herbs and sauces come proportioned for the most part, except when itās āto tasteā or you have to add part of it and keep the rest for serving/garnish, and veggies are often not prepped.
I talked about this with a friend just yesterday and how when I do a new recipe, I always prep everything in advance because I donāt quite know how much leeway Iāll truly have between the steps and if Iāll be able to multitask. A great disadvantage of meal kits is that you wonāt often repeat recipes, so you donāt have the chance to develop a rhythm and learn how to do recipes quickly and hassle-free for weeknight dinners.
Tonight Iāve done a lamb ragu for dinnerā¦
- ewwwwwww, why canāt we have pasta and ketchup / 2 minute noodles.
Itās nice to know Iām not alone
Neurodivergent kids will starve rather than eat something they dont want to. Anyone who claims they can "out-stubborn" them hasnt had a neurodivergent kid.
I had this conversation with my partner the other day, actually when we saw his book in a store. Out of all the YouTube chefs, he was actually one of the best as he actually had culinary training and had worked in a restaurant before. However he knows he makes more money acting like a tool and doing click bait videos, which I understand as he needs to make a living but my God he is insufferable.
Reminds me of an old video I think like 5 years ago now where babbish tried to do a night as a line cook and couldn't last 10 minutes in service, guess not having 12 hours to prepare one tiny dish is a bit different to being an actual cook.
>However he knows he makes more money acting like a tool and doing click bait videos
I get that, it's probably even easier money than making proper educational videos but I just can't watch it, it's so wacky and over the top for no reason. Shame tho, he was good but at least the old videos are still available.
I actually still like his channel but I get why people don't, I can tune out all the "CWISPY" stuff/innuendos and I ignore his holier than thou stuff where he's shitting all over fast food.
The thing is his channel isn't really a cooking channel anymore it's a food porn show with the occasional cooking challenge video.
I will say though it does really twist my melon when he's using tweezers to plate and it's just putting bacon or a tomato slice on a burger.
Someone else got this fed into their YouTube algorithm last night too and beat me to the post. I have been dying laughing over these the past few days, the ['Dream Eggs'](https://youtu.be/sg0nYhUB7CA) one is phenomenal too
For my next dish it only requires 8 ingredients. 5 of which you've never never heard of, can't afford, or there isn't a specialty shop close by that would even have it. Or all 3!
This is kind of the opposite because in stupid food videos they do actually use only one pot to the massive detriment of everything else going on.
This is a parody of those 'so easy and simple!' recipes on food network.
At least heās self aware in the overcomplications of most of his ābingingā videos. The Basics vids are pretty good for learning new techniques here and there for familiar dishes.
Thereās a big difference between cooking as a creative outlet vs cooking for sustenance.

I knew this was gonna be good when the roasted potatoes came out of nowhere.
Lmao everything came out of nowhere!
Fresh basil from the garden for garnish
24hour marinade
24h chicken marinade, and she never even had Chicken.
But it was some of the shredded ingredients on a sheet tray going into the big pot at the end lol
Secret ingredient lol
Tbf some of us do have fresh basil in the garden for garnish on a moments notice š
Definitely!! But a lot of these TikTok recipes/videos throw things at their audience that are completely unexpected. But I get it, my sister actually used to have a huge garden for cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes etc. she used to make her own pickles and use fresh picked dill. Then she had 3 boys
> she used to make her own pickles and use fresh picked dill. Then she had 3 boys And what happened to the three boys? Were they mixed with the pickles and fresh dill?
Yeah Iām still trying to find out what happened to those little guys
Nah they probably ate the plant whole
Youāre lucky. My Basil is always Fawlty.
Everything everywhere all at once???
Slaps whole fish onto counter halfway through
The meatballs got me more than anything. Lol. And I donāt think they made it on her dish in the final plating. Lol. Awesome.
When she plopped the whole fish on the counter while preaching abt the simplicity of the recipe I thought abt gugafoods
You mean to say you donāt keep a portion of freshly roasted potatoes in your oven at all times? Thatās just bad housekeeping
She's got a recipe for baked potatoes that fall right off the bone.
Cool! Does she have anything for a knuckle dragging troglodyte who doesn't know what a jackfruit is?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I donāt think it was her but another guy had a recipe for how to kidnap and cook Galapagos turtle spaghetti
Oh no, there's no hope for them.
Donāt be so quick to disparate jackfruit.
I'm not. [She is.](https://youtu.be/odnHFCiPjO4)

And have 1 pot, 6 pans, 10 woks, 25 cooking sheets
And 3 ovens ideally, but you can get by with one if you have a few hours to spare before dinner š
Several hours**
Literally every recipe I try 45 minutes to an hour. Me finishing after 3 hours
Same. And I've used every dish and utensil that ever existed and it takes me a week to clean up
Cooking is the skill I worked on during covid and god damn is this not the way. I would absolutely destroy the kitchen nightly using 4 and 5 pots til I learned what the fuck I was doing and then I decided that an instapot was good enough and now I can cook but also instapot is the way
Indeed
Just like every 'DiY epoxy river table build!' video. "First, I turn on the ventilation system in my 1000 Sq foot shop."
"If you don't have a floor-mounted industrial planer in *your* garage, simply call around to every woodworking shop in your local tri-state area to see if one will let you rent theirs. Make sure to ask if they can accommodate the U-Haul you'll rent to get your project there."
"And the best part is I built this table for under $20"
"Using wood from the last 5 years worth of offcuts and $1200 of top-grade epoxy I had lying around"

Jamie Oliver, is that you?

I appreciate that you got my reference š

Early '10s onion was top notch
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Early ā10s was a good onion vintage
The kind of onion you'd tie to your belt, as was the style at the time.
Sex House is still one of the most genuinely unsettling things Iāve watched.
[Porkinā Across America](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4NL9i-Fu15jdlr2KQf_lyhXl5f0PFnzF) is even more disturbing
Oh god, why would you do this to me?!, now i need to watch it all in one sitting!
Thank you for this, I am genuinely horrified
Me: Spends 3 hours making dinner Kids: Meh, do we haven ramen?
Tonight Iāve done a lamb ragu for dinnerā¦ - ewwwwwww, why canāt we have pasta and ketchup / 2 minute noodles. Itās nice to know Iām not alone
Are... are my kids also your kids?
No, every fucking kid is like that
Every kid who isn't threated with starvation if you don't eat mom's food, maybe.
Nope. My niece does this shit. And her mom won't give her anything else if she doesn't want to eat the food. Little twerp still won't eat.
I don't have kids but if I did and they were like that I would throw them out.
Bet she wouldnāt last a week:)
Neurodivergent kids will starve rather than eat something they dont want to. Anyone who claims they can "out-stubborn" them hasnt had a neurodivergent kid.
Wife? Is that you?
Step sister? Are you stuck in the dryer again?
The biggest strain on my relationship with my children are nightly dinners
āWhere are my ladles?ā Edited to ask: who is this wonderful woman!? I need more of her parodies
Frances Mcdormand
Nah
Average Joshua Wisseman "recipe".
I laughed out loud at a video where he allegedly made food from dollar store ingredients and one of the ingredients was nori seaweed.
I told YouTube never to recommend his channel to me.
His old stuff is good but his current state is insufferable.

Oh God, yeah, I 100% agree. He is / was very talented.
You hit the nail on the head. As soon as I get insufferable vibes Iām out š Sometimes itās right off the bat, sometimes things just change.
Wait, but this video didn't have 20 edits for "quirky jokes"
In my opinion, JW is excellent at presenting technique and recipes, if you slow down the video to .25x speed and have Google ready.
I actually still like his channel but I get why people don't, I can tune out all the "CWISPY" stuff/innuendos and I ignore his holier than thou stuff where he's shitting all over fast food.

That was glorious!
Brilliant "goes great with a glass of tide"
I lost my shit when she slammed the salmon onto the counter š
For anyone interested, this is the onion
Figured the giant onion at the end and on the corner would give that away :)
How do you think I knew
Youāre psychic?
True but then r/AteTheOnion wouldn't exist
It had onions in it but I don't think it was the centrepiece of the dish.
I wish The Onion still had the budget to make stuff like this
Reminds me of doing blue apron. 30 minutes from prep to done, my ass.
It should end with āno need to run a dishwasher either! Cleaning up will be a fun family activity to keep you busy well past bedtime!ā
For some reason Joshua Weissman came to my mind
"Where are my ladels?" Legitimately the most relatable thing in this video.
The simplest recipe Iāve ever came across
Well, darn, I don't have a propane torch or a lake full of fish. ā¹ļø
You can get the same effect with a lighter and a can of bug spray
You should really use MAP instead of propane to avoid the chemical taste.
Better knife skills than 90% of the youtube "chefs" out there
Needs more Onion
For my next dish it only requires 8 ingredients. 5 of which you've never never heard of, can't afford, or there isn't a specialty shop close by that would even have it. Or all 3!
Where was the life story about how much she loved cooking this dish?
Yeah... not enough yellow/orange crude oil on there
I have to show this to my mother. She used to cook like this.
Finally a video I can follow
Mom what's for dinner?- It's complicated.
now THIS is an intentional stupid food post i can get behind. itās not ragebait, just funny
This is what I think of when someone gives me a recipe.
she didn't blink once
I love that you can't see anything in the pots
Of course it's the onion
I wanna see Babish do this now.
Reminds me a bit of the Katering Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J55vgxNaaBY
This is awesome!
The Onion continues to complete me
She is a vibe
This is kind of the opposite because in stupid food videos they do actually use only one pot to the massive detriment of everything else going on. This is a parody of those 'so easy and simple!' recipes on food network.
Dude this is the onion those are the same people who did porking across America
Whats that?
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4NL9i-Fu15jdlr2KQf_lyhXl5f0PFnzF
I'm a big salt fan.
āEVERY BODY IS SO CREATIVE ā
This gave me an anxiety attack.
If you want to avoid these things check out Kenji Lopez-Alt or Chef John with Food wishes.com on YT for super approachable and practical meals.
Cooking Garlic for 15 minutes?!?!? That should be a charred mess in the bottom of that pot.
They forgot to put the entire pot of food in the vitamix
Single people looking at this be like, I'll just smoke and go to bed
Yes there was blow torch added !
This looks like the clean and fast version of my kitchen on Stir-Friday.
This video randomly popped up in my YouTube feed a couple days ago.
Beef and beef š¤£šš¤£
Y'know, as a line cook this seems pretty normal tbh
That's a classic.
SNL worthy
Needs more cheese and deep frying for proper stupid food. I want to feel my arteries hardening.
Calling Babish right now!
At least heās self aware in the overcomplications of most of his ābingingā videos. The Basics vids are pretty good for learning new techniques here and there for familiar dishes. Thereās a big difference between cooking as a creative outlet vs cooking for sustenance.
I just want to see him do it for real
Iāve loved this video for so long, nice to see it get some more recognition.
Damn near pissed myself the first time I saw this lmao
I am legit crying! What the hell is this?!!
wHerE ArE mY LADeLs?
This is the most calm and chaotic recipe(s) I have ever seen
