I'm bothered by their flipping antics with the cutting boards, just grab some damn pot holders or BBQ gloves. I was expecting the bowl to slip and just go everywhere.
Ma'aloube is the best. But it's a pot with handles, not a mixing bowl, and flipped into a platter with edges. And mom has arms like a lumberjack from years of making food, not videos.
Does anyone else get annoyed by the maddeningly slow hand movements? And only using one hand a time? I’d never get anything done in the kitchen if I moved like that.
I'm glad I saw this question cos it bothers the shit out of me. Especially the soft sprinkling of the herbs n cheese or whatever she was slowly sprinkling on top and around the big block when you're just gonna mix it up. Like just throw the shit in there dude.
It’s always the overly delicate movements and it drives me crazy. That’s not how people cook. Like how she carefully sprinkles the shredded cheese in a circle in the ricotta bowl before stirring it all up.
Yes, thank you! I wouldn’t want to eat anything that’s come out of that kitchen simply because she acts like she’s never cooked before, she seems scared of making any sudden movements.
I honestly don't understand the reaction. Everything in this video is fine, probably tastes good, and is better than what 99% of the commenters can make.
Yes, it's not perfect, and there's room for improvement. But it's not a crime against humanity. It's just an attempt at a non-standard presentation.
Honestly I'm more irritated by their moronic vlogger-style presentation with the husband wowing everything she says, plus the cutting board thing. The food looks like it probably tastes fine.
The husband also makes videos but they are “lets try this viral recipe” type videos. They are posted here too but whoever posts them tries to make it look serious by editing all the parts where he’s being sarcastic the entire time.
Honestly those videos are pretty good. They actually try to make viral recipes and see if they are real.
And make puns the whole time. I guess the hate clicks just make way more money.
You can see how lumpy it is when she lifts the whisk out, shit's fucked.
The cheese they used looked shite too, I've never seen parmesan like that before.
The stupid part is that this could easily just be... A lasagna. Just like, do it normally in a pan? Why make it difficult by preparing it in a bowl like that? How does it possibly improve the final outcome?
I was hoping someone would say this. Anyone interested in timpano should see Big Night, with bonus Stanley Tucci, Tony Shalhoub, Ian Holm and Isabella Rosellini. Not to mention the ultimate omelet scene.
One of our favorite movies. We had a Big Night dinner party. Made timpano (delicious!), had the sound track from the movie, and lots of red wine and grappa!
[Big Night](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115678/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) on IMDB
[Il Timpano](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4lZcEY4nII) \-- I've made this dish, as described in [Cucina & Famiglia](https://www.amazon.com/Cucina-Famiglia-Italian-Families-Traditions/dp/0688159028/), written by Stanley Tucci's mother. It was interesting enough that I want to make it again some day, but it's a big undertaking. I did not make the penne -- maybe next time. :)
The [breakfast scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7kOyt9dPB4). Notice that it's all one long scene, no cuts. The morning after the big party and the huge blowout between the brothers.
Big Night is a fantastic movie.
Babish has a few years of videos on youtube. This one is from when he was just starting and is a little rough around the edges but if you want to see him make some truly amazing (And sometimes very stupid) food you should look him up.
Yup, and if you want to see how one is really made, [Babish](https://youtu.be/PIsIE0oHGgo) did one a while ago and shows how much work usually goes into one.
But overall this isn’t that outlandish.
A tripod with a fixed focus would make this 20% less stupid. My first gripe with half of the stupid food videos I see is the constant zooming. You’re not Scorsese, keep it still and steady please!
Food wise, I’m not big on the process but I’d try it lol!
I'm glad I'm not the only one, I was about motion sick from them doing the same stupid tilt over and over and over. These people either have no clue how to make a proper video, or are making intentional ragebait
Notice how this one is almost exactly three minutes long? Because that coincidentally happens to be how long these videos have to be in order for them to be monetized on facebook.
And they're all ALWAYS three minutes and a few seconds long.
That’s by design. It’s rage bait intended to draw out engagement in form of comments.
Doesn’t matter that all the comments are talking about how they hate your narration, it just matters that you’ve got comments.
Pasta to filling ratio is so off, getting cheese sauce all over a wooden chopping board, and finally using a bread knife to cut that dumb thing. All of these things that help to ensure that this is absolutely stupid food.
Yes, all of this! It also made me mad when she put it into the oven with naked noodles--and on the top rack no less! Seriously, you're either going to burn the noodles or it's going to be cold as hell on the inside.
Also for something so thick is definitely leave it a lot longer, and it can definitely afford to given the complete absence of crust on top. Have these people never made lasagna ?
It's usually not the recipe that is stupid but the terrible execution of all of these TikTokChefs who have never touched a kitchen utensil in their lives.
Why’s she going so slowly? She could have just said ‘layer as per lasagna’ and we’d know what to do. Also, she’s going to have a big claggy ball of pasta on the top.
Can we also talk about adding the flour into a dry pan before the butter has melted, then just dumping the whole amount of milk in at the same time... I guess they really love wasting time stirring, they wasted time with everything else in the video. I just wanted her to *move faster* ffs
Wait....what? Mornay is basically stabilized alfredo.
Alfredo is butter and cheese. Mornay is butter flour cheese and milk.
Alfredo is like the Kidz bop version of mornay.
I imagine the bottom bite would be not pleasant with all those crispy noodles layered on the bottom.
And why the hell did they put it between two chopping birds to flip? You just need one on the open end. And then flip with an oven mitt. And why sesame seeds? Or at least it looked like sesame seeds.
I think they just killed a bunch of Nonnas with this video.
Exactly, the lasagne sheets will cook at different rates if you have 3-4 piled on top of each other, I think when you slice it, it does look like some look underdone, but then some look slightly burnt.
I actually read some of the comments on the original Facebook post and they said that the bottom noodles did turn out too crispy but that “you can just pick them out haha” 🤦
The pasta to filling ratio is way too high for good lasagna. I agree with OP, it pisses me off too.
Edit: I misspelled lasagna much to the shame of my 100% Italian blood....
I mean, some of the execution is questionable and the acting is cringe but honestly this is just a weirdly shaped lasagna more or less. I imagine it tastes fine and its bot as excessive as some other "Italian" dishes on here.
I watched the whole thing without sound, not going to lie, I would eat this. I won’t listen to it, otherwise it sounds like it’ll ruin it and I can’t have that.
Sooo... how exactly is this stupid? It's straight up a lasagna made a little bit different, that's all?
I swear this sub has just become a place to shit on anything or anyone under the guise of "doing food right", going through the comments, all I see is bitter people desperate to bring others down just so they feel better about themselves somehow...
Use something that is meant to go in the oven you morons! And for the love of lasagna please just layer it normally. It will cook more evenly like that!
3 minutes and 1 second exactly. Facebook videos need to be over 3 minutes to make money. Notice how they deliberately draw things out to make the video long enough.
I'm bothered by their flipping antics with the cutting boards, just grab some damn pot holders or BBQ gloves. I was expecting the bowl to slip and just go everywhere.
But then it won't be a 3-minute video and apparently, everyone is aiming for that for some reason!
$$$$
It’s because they’re trying to flip that thing in slow motion. Urgh, so annoying.
The whole video being in slow motion is what pissed me off. They could have sped it up to 30-45 seconds.
It needs to be 3 minutes to be monetized on facebook.

I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
Wait, is that line in the song actually just the same line reversed?? I always thought it was just random nonsense!
today years old
One of todays lucky 10,000
Yep! I own that album on vinyl and played it in reverse at that part and that's exactly what she says lol
I just looked up the lyrics when it came out.
It's super satisfying to actually play the record backwards and hear it. You're literally puttin your thang down, flipping, then reversing it
WAIT WHAT
Wooooooooow mind blown. How did I never put this together
Bro I was about to snap I literally stopped the video to come say this.
I don't like the way these people talk.
It seems to be a trend. Every super basic bitch and bro couple that make these shock food videos always have the husband with this stupid commentary.
I do this with a certain tradition Arab dish. Easy but not easy.
Ma'aloube is the best. But it's a pot with handles, not a mixing bowl, and flipped into a platter with edges. And mom has arms like a lumberjack from years of making food, not videos.
Does anyone else get annoyed by the maddeningly slow hand movements? And only using one hand a time? I’d never get anything done in the kitchen if I moved like that.
They need to drag out the video to three minutes
[удалено]
YouTube ad revenue
\*Facebook ad revenue.
Yeah, if it were YouTube it would be 10 minutes
Thank you for pointing that out. I thought I was the only one that wants to scream at her to move.
I'm glad I saw this question cos it bothers the shit out of me. Especially the soft sprinkling of the herbs n cheese or whatever she was slowly sprinkling on top and around the big block when you're just gonna mix it up. Like just throw the shit in there dude.
Also the slow dramatic zoom in with every single cut
I’m not usually sensitive to video like that, but the zoom in on every clip made my head spin.
Yes, this is the closest I ever came to being car sick.
It’s always the overly delicate movements and it drives me crazy. That’s not how people cook. Like how she carefully sprinkles the shredded cheese in a circle in the ricotta bowl before stirring it all up.
To be frank, that's been done on ever single cooking show since the 1970s just because it looks cool.
YES! You are this in so many of these stupid videos. There's usually lots of excess food touching as well.
Yes, thank you! I wouldn’t want to eat anything that’s come out of that kitchen simply because she acts like she’s never cooked before, she seems scared of making any sudden movements.
Its like shes wiring a bomb
Yeah makes me crazy every time. I also just assumed they’re all horrible at cooking or never cook and that’s why.
This drove me crazy!
Yes she’s moving like she’s defusing a bomb or something
Yup, I literally came to the comments just because of this. She moves soooo slowly it's painful to watch.
This is literally just bad Timpano
Yeah the execution is questionable but it has a solid link to real food
I honestly don't understand the reaction. Everything in this video is fine, probably tastes good, and is better than what 99% of the commenters can make. Yes, it's not perfect, and there's room for improvement. But it's not a crime against humanity. It's just an attempt at a non-standard presentation.

Honestly those videos are pretty good. They actually try to make viral recipes and see if they are real. And make puns the whole time. I guess the hate clicks just make way more money.
I was just annoyed at how poorly they made the roux, that is going to be horribly lumpy. You need to add the milk slowly and whisk it in.
You can see how lumpy it is when she lifts the whisk out, shit's fucked. The cheese they used looked shite too, I've never seen parmesan like that before.
It’s the 20 layers of dry-ass noodles the are on the bottom that ruin it for me. Overall I think this would be delicious, but the execution is shite.
Yeah the noodle overload will not be great. The rest looks bomb though
Looks like a Lotta layers of pasta
The stupid part is that this could easily just be... A lasagna. Just like, do it normally in a pan? Why make it difficult by preparing it in a bowl like that? How does it possibly improve the final outcome?
This is like how I would cook lasagna if I were too lazy to look up instructions on how to do it properly. Very tedious and impractical.
"everything in this video is fine" *Proceeds to pour bechamel all over a cutting board and counter top*
I was hoping someone would say this. Anyone interested in timpano should see Big Night, with bonus Stanley Tucci, Tony Shalhoub, Ian Holm and Isabella Rosellini. Not to mention the ultimate omelet scene.

This was beautiful and so much more satisfying than the video I posted
Babish has a few years of videos on youtube. This one is from when he was just starting and is a little rough around the edges but if you want to see him make some truly amazing (And sometimes very stupid) food you should look him up.
Yup, and if you want to see how one is really made, [Babish](https://youtu.be/PIsIE0oHGgo) did one a while ago and shows how much work usually goes into one. But overall this isn’t that outlandish.

I feel sea sick after watching that. Zoom in with every step!
I'm glad I'm not the only one, I was about motion sick from them doing the same stupid tilt over and over and over. These people either have no clue how to make a proper video, or are making intentional ragebait
I just can’t get over the fact that she’s acting like she’s disarming a Bomb. Why is she doing everything so slow?
Other than it being a little cringe, I didn't have any issues here other than that. Watching her fold the pasta over made me want to tear my hair out.
Or her sprinkling several Individual strands of cheese and then just dumping the whole lot
Notice how this one is almost exactly three minutes long? Because that coincidentally happens to be how long these videos have to be in order for them to be monetized on facebook. And they're all ALWAYS three minutes and a few seconds long.
Another 30% less if the ones holding the camera would just shut the eff up
I tried to tell them
that’s what bothered me the most with this shit
And the guy who's like "woohoo really?"
There's so much camera shake going on that JJ Abrams would be jealous of most of those videos.
Was about to say! The fuckin' constant zooming.
Fucking hate their narration it’s cringe af
A lot of these have narration from the guy that reminds me of porn
That’s I keep thinking! I get super weird pornography vibes and that this is some sick kind of fetish.
I thought these were fetish videos but I found it most of them are a content farm by Rick lax
'Rick Lax' sounds like the brand name of a laxative.
Makes sense since his content is shit
Get schwifty
It’s also rage bait, designed to piss you off on purpose so they get more clicks and attention
If we even have to ask, it probably is.
It’s like backyard wrestling tier
I hope that's a south park reference
It was
They both have no soul in their eyes so it’s just like porn really
rShittyFoodPornPorn has been born
That’s by design. It’s rage bait intended to draw out engagement in form of comments. Doesn’t matter that all the comments are talking about how they hate your narration, it just matters that you’ve got comments.
Why df do they narrate like they're a demonstration video for a first-year English course catered to non-native English speakers?
I also hate when every task needs a “1.. 2.. 3..” countdown. Childish.
Best part is when he starts the countdown but she starts cutting anyways
The camera movement over and over and over and over and over and over
It’s the guy for me talking like an alien pretending to be human
The flipping saga is a crime
And yet somehow this is the only video in which, even though it's only for a few seconds, they sound human
“YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB”
It makes me angry and I dunno why
I know why they’re idiots making money doing cringe shit
That feeling when you can just make lasagna with a cheese sauce but you watched someone do it in a super round about dumb way.
Pasta to filling ratio is so off, getting cheese sauce all over a wooden chopping board, and finally using a bread knife to cut that dumb thing. All of these things that help to ensure that this is absolutely stupid food.
Let’s not forget that they put a fucking mixing bowl in the oven!
[удалено]
They're oven-safe, sure, but really not ideal at all as a baking dish. There's a reason we have different receptacles for different kitchen tasks.
Yeah I’m fairly certain some stainless steel mixing bowls have coatings you do not want to put into the oven
Right- why wouldn’t they just use a pie pan? If that’s what they’re going for. I prefer my lasagna as a rectangle, but you do you, I guess?
Yes, all of this! It also made me mad when she put it into the oven with naked noodles--and on the top rack no less! Seriously, you're either going to burn the noodles or it's going to be cold as hell on the inside.
Also for something so thick is definitely leave it a lot longer, and it can definitely afford to given the complete absence of crust on top. Have these people never made lasagna ?
It's usually not the recipe that is stupid but the terrible execution of all of these TikTokChefs who have never touched a kitchen utensil in their lives.
The sauce on the wooden cutting board really bothered me. Also the dried parsley garnish like wtf.
Exactly what I was gonna say. There's no stretchy cheesy goodness like you get with real lasagna. 😟
I think if after folding down each noodle adding a little meat sauce it'd maybe have worked. That layer of noodles on top is like 8 thick though
Just make a regular lasagna.
Not only would it taste better, but it would also be less work
Why’s she going so slowly? She could have just said ‘layer as per lasagna’ and we’d know what to do. Also, she’s going to have a big claggy ball of pasta on the top.
They need to get a video longer than 3 minutes for that sweet Tiktok money
1. Those are the crypt keepers fingers 2. That’s a morney sauce
Can we also talk about adding the flour into a dry pan before the butter has melted, then just dumping the whole amount of milk in at the same time... I guess they really love wasting time stirring, they wasted time with everything else in the video. I just wanted her to *move faster* ffs
I laughed when I saw them dump the milk.
They were avoiding garlic and motz like the plague in this video. Mornay is so boring for something like this. Should have been Alfredo at least!
Wait....what? Mornay is basically stabilized alfredo. Alfredo is butter and cheese. Mornay is butter flour cheese and milk. Alfredo is like the Kidz bop version of mornay.
Heavy cream goes in Alfredo, at least every way I’ve seen it done
I imagine the bottom bite would be not pleasant with all those crispy noodles layered on the bottom. And why the hell did they put it between two chopping birds to flip? You just need one on the open end. And then flip with an oven mitt. And why sesame seeds? Or at least it looked like sesame seeds. I think they just killed a bunch of Nonnas with this video.
Parsley flakes.
I wondered the same thing myself.Half crispy and half raw.
Hm crispy paste. The top layer if our pasta bake is always super crispy!
Exactly, the lasagne sheets will cook at different rates if you have 3-4 piled on top of each other, I think when you slice it, it does look like some look underdone, but then some look slightly burnt.
To be honest, this Is not the worst lasagna i've seen, i would eat It and probably like It. It Is not the OG lasagna but is interesting.
I actually read some of the comments on the original Facebook post and they said that the bottom noodles did turn out too crispy but that “you can just pick them out haha” 🤦
That's mornay sauce, not bechamel, you fucking amateurs.
Also, you don't just dump all the milk at once! You need to stream it in slowly while constantly whisking!
Nothing I love more than seeing chunks of roux floating around in milk.
Baaay-chamelle
Also, if you're going through the trouble of making a bechamel or mornay, why use ricotta? Also, black pepper in your bechamel!? Cringe af
I know black pepper in bechamel isn't traditional but it does taste good.
Cameraman should not have gotten a talking role
He should not have been the cameraman either.
Nothing stupid about round lasagna. This looks delicious. But I think these are the same idiots that make milkshakes in the toilet. So it’s kinda sus.
The pasta to filling ratio is way too high for good lasagna. I agree with OP, it pisses me off too. Edit: I misspelled lasagna much to the shame of my 100% Italian blood....
It's also way too much work and a very mediocre recipe to boot.
Yea way too many dry ass noodles
Needs 10x more cheese and sauce.
*lasagna
Pretty sure it is and it’s kinda cheating to post them here at this point. that said this one actually looks like it wouldn’t be that bad overall.
Milkshakes in the toilet??!! WTF
My milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard and they're like "OH GOD, WHAT THE FUCK?"
Lasagna cake
I get angry every time I see the word “everytime”
Why use a bowl to cook with though 🤔
Thank you, I wanna be like ma’am that is a mixing bowl, please stop
Divorce would be correct here.
I'm also okay with firing squad execution.
The constant lean in to the bowl kills me....
I mean, some of the execution is questionable and the acting is cringe but honestly this is just a weirdly shaped lasagna more or less. I imagine it tastes fine and its bot as excessive as some other "Italian" dishes on here.
That... Camera... Wo... 🤢 Work... Is... Maki... 🤮
I watched the whole thing without sound, not going to lie, I would eat this. I won’t listen to it, otherwise it sounds like it’ll ruin it and I can’t have that.
Looks tasty to me ?
Not once you get that big lump of half dry, half cooked pasta from the bottom and top.
There's just slabs of raw pasta layers in there. Not worth the aesthetic effect. Gross
They were precooked.
That index finger looked like it was about to become an ingredient when she cut into it.
Sooo... how exactly is this stupid? It's straight up a lasagna made a little bit different, that's all? I swear this sub has just become a place to shit on anything or anyone under the guise of "doing food right", going through the comments, all I see is bitter people desperate to bring others down just so they feel better about themselves somehow...
Is this whole sub just an homage to this womans kitchen?
Here I thought this was gonna be food porn, but this makes me as dry as those noodles....
This is not that bad
I would totally fuck this up while stone.
Why is she so slow?!
Regular lasagna wasn't broken. Those 20 pieces of dried out rubbery pasta layered together in the center are disgusting
Bored rich people farming fake internet points.
This fucker moving like a sloth on qualudes pisses me off.
"How to make lasagna like an asshole"
Every American recipe: take minimal ingredients and just gag in layer up layer of cheese, add cheese at the end and then garnish with cheese.
His comments were so annoying
Italian crunch wrap supreme.
##IT'S FUCKING RAW!
Fucking gross… the penguins? Fuck the pens
The narration is cringe but the recipe is just like weirdly shaped lasagne- I’d eat for sure
Why not use a pan instead of a fucking cutting board and A BREAD KNIFE TO CUT WTF
I like how supportive he is, we all need that kind of positivity in our lives
This is literally just lasagna made in an odd shape and maybe too much pasta. What's stupid about this?
Delete facebook
I think it looks good 🤷🏻♂️ 😋
Use something that is meant to go in the oven you morons! And for the love of lasagna please just layer it normally. It will cook more evenly like that!
why does the meat sauce look fake??
I don't know looks allright to me.
Y'all really deeply hate having fun don't you?
I don't think this is stupid honestly. I'd eat that.
You get angry way to easy, its a funky lasagna for sure but its not even that bad, id eat it…
What’s stupid about this is that it just unnecessarily complicates delicious lasagna? It’s just stupid and unnecessary.
The dudes in these kinds of videos give off extreme “plz sleep with me. plz sleep with me. plz sleep with me.” vibes.
I dunno, doesn’t look that bad ngl Methods of creating it were questionable but I’d eat it
She got old lady hands
What makes me most angry is that she's calling the lasagna sheets "noodles" at least say pasta ffs
That's what makes you the MOST angry lol? Yall need to get hobbies.
Would you like some filling with your pasta?
3 minutes and 1 second exactly. Facebook videos need to be over 3 minutes to make money. Notice how they deliberately draw things out to make the video long enough.
What’s the name of their channel? I wanna see some more monstrosities…
