[@jasonb.2517]

@@VioletnIndigo They didn't use imitation vanilla in the video. Imitation vanilla isn't real vanilla.

[@VioletnIndigo]

@@jasonb.2517 they're probably also just picking the lowest price possible (researching on the market) for the ingredients that the home cooks are using. if a pro chef is using something that isn't typically found in a regular supermarket, the price probably isn't going to be low.

[@SamiKelsh]

The real star of the show is absolutely Emily's adorable dog kettle. I want to be its friend and give it scritches. Also, I have to say that Lani's take on the normal-price brownies looked excellent (and I will forever be using cocoa instead of flour to nonstick my chocolate cake tins) but I always feel like when the pro chefs add extra ingredients (allergy substitutions notwithstanding, ie. gf flour instead of ap) it's not quite in the spirit of the challenge. Like, it's not a $14 pan of brownies anymore if you've put a $9 vanilla pod into the cream, now is it, professional chefs?

[@Oberky]

Yes, this. Was saying the same thing while watching. Also, and maybe I'm being judgemental, but the way she said "glutenfree person" didn't really make it sound like an allergy thing. I dunno, maybe that's just me.

[@SHADOW1414]

Yeah, it doesn't bother me if they add a cheap ingredient. Like, adding an egg or adding the potatoes in this one because it doesn't change price that much. But a vanilla pod is not a cheap ingredient or even something people would normally have in their house.

[@EdwardM104]

I agree but at the same time you can get vanilla beans for less. Kroger often has them on sale for around $3 a bean (two in a spice jar), which I don't think is too outrageous for an already $14 brownie. If you buy them in bulk, you can do even better.

Would be REALLY nice to see the professional chef follow the brief and actually limit themselves to the ingredients provided.

[@samanthaosborne1431]

Came to see if anyone else had the same thought. I get subbing the AP flour for gluten free, maybe she’s allergic but I truly believe she added too many things. How can they say it’s $14 when she added different things/subbed higher quality...

[@curryascocarrasco4829]

I think it's fine to add ingredients outside the brief, but they would have to be common household ingredients that most people likely already have, nothing fancy.

The potatoes and flour were kinda a problem. Using a vanilla bean when your box comes with vanilla extract seems like cheating, especially when a vanilla bean is around $7 on it’s own.

I am so in love with Lani. She seems like she is an awesome teacher and I want her to teach me everything!

[@christiantorres3446]

Tone makes a difference!! Lani says basically the same stuff Frank says tbh, but it’s just her delivery and the way she says things

[@rochelleschmitz6532]

I think you really can hear that Frank‘s a teacher in his tone

[@chinnidiwakar]

intensions can make your tone different. IMO

[@yoobinkim01]

ty for saying this. also, implicit bias makes us perceive black women in power differently than white men in power, whether we know it/intend it or not. i think she says essentially the same things as frank for sure.

[@kDawg1908]

What an incredibly charming episode. It’s so nice because trying difficult recipes is one way to just help you really improve. So it’s nice to see a novice actively learn, even if she won’t be making this all the time. On the other side it’s nice to see a seasoned chef use ingredients that are much simpler and helps me to learn to become better and not break the bank. There were ideas I would have never thought of. Funny, charming, adventurous and educational what a well done episode.

no offense but a good brownie does not need nuts, and in 99% of cases is ruined by nuts 😌 i said what i said

It is also ruined by penises, in around 100% of cases

nuts are still fine..god forbid somepeople add raisins😭

Idk man some of the best brownies I have ever had got some nuts in them but I agree that they dont need them. Always when I make my own I dont add nuts.

That baker is a bit condescending 👀

[@Figs3]

I don't think she was condescending. I just don't like how she made her brownies. Maybe I haven't watched this series so much. But she said "The recipe calls for ____. Yea I'm not going to do that." From what I was led to believe you have to use the same ingredients but maybe cook them in a different way. Cause what she made wasn't 14$ brownie. She used her own ingredients.

@@MissLadyVenom I mean there's probably even more expensive markets than that I don't know about. Upper class people tend to buy everything at more expensive stores that mark up their items to pay for the property and the "experience". I call that getting ripped off personally. 😂

It's so stupid the amount of people pressed about Lani she did a fantastic job, and for the people saying that she should just do Emily's recipe like what's the actual point of a professional chef being there if they're not going to develop the recipe at all. Big up Lani and Emily!

[@c_6951]

Yass Emily leveled up, we love to see it! 😂

[@JinElusion]

The caramelized potato skin whipped cream blew my mind! I am absolutely going to try this because I MUST taste it! Loved this video and seeing the contrast in baking methods and ingredients. Lani made the most of the ingredients she was given (with a few cheats) by drawing from her experience. Loved how she explained the way she tweaked Emily’s recipe in layman’s terms. I never would have thought to make a separate meringue when baking a brownie. My next dessert I bake will be a brownie for sure.
