4 Levels of Doughnuts: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious

We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - an amateur, a home cook, and a professional - to make us a doughnut of their choice. After each of them had presented their creation, we asked a food scientist to review their work. Which one would you take first, hot off the tray?
Check out the level 3 recipe on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/bl...

I don't know if this is a popular or unpopular opinion, but I will never consider an oven-baked doughnut an actual doughnut. That's just a doughnut-shaped cake. (Maybe the definition of a doughnut has broadened in the US, in Europe we still think of the fried doughnut as a typical American food that has become widespread here too.) Cake is good. Doughnuts are infinitely better.

[@sstvms2023]

Agreed, baking it takes away the purpose. It’s fried dough aka the best thing ever. Though I get some people may not own fryers :/

[@MiuIruma]

@@sstvms2023 You don't even need fryers tho, just get some oil and a pot/pan.

[@jasonbuter9493]

Wow... all these videos and there is FINALLY one level 3 who made a superior food! Kudos to Tracy!

[@dr.kukary8373]

Are the level 1 doughnuts considered "official" doughnuts, or are they kind of just cakes that resemble doughnuts? Where is the line?

[@maijac6896]

It's a healthier version of doughnuts 🤷

[@LadyVader33]

I've seen baked doughnuts in Japanese bakeries. Taste nice

[@emilykyaw5158]

level 1&2 chefs: “first I’ll be adding flour” level 3: “first we will be picking wheat to make flour”

[@maddythedumbass3776]

Emily Kyaw if frank was here he would be making his only flour

[@gonzalezm244]

He’d be planting the wheat

Yes! I binged on these videos last night but felt like i needed more then i come to this 😊

Level 3 donuts make me cry because I want them so badly

[@FuriousGamerGirl]

For me they were overstuffed

[@cinema_chic]

Same! I love lemon meringue pie.

[@Panwere36]

This is one of my favorite of this series because so much of what all three level chefs do is in sync.. even when they use some things differently.

[@vanossblackheart6029]

when the lvl 4 chef is talking the music a too loud I almost couldn’t hear her but awesome video :)

[@rahulmenith96]

No 1.74

Oh God

[@LarryNoir]

No no no, he is the perfect level 1. That is a super basic recipe with very little nuance. Level 1 should mean "most basic/simple" not "barely knows how to cook"

[@namasull00]

@@LarryNoir but "barely knows how to cook" is more relatable for a lot of people than some basic recipe

[@tinyelephant2104]

no I think he's just level 1. he didn't fry his donuts and that's enough to keep him there

[@soggy.]

This is my ranking of the level 2 chefs 3: pink shirt guy he seems nice however dosent have something you need 2: Lorenzo try to argue with me 1: beth she is the sweetest lady you could ever meet she may talk about her husband a little too much but overall just amazing.

Sorry Anthony

I could marry Anthony, he's so accurate with his recipes

[@donkwak3867]

The level 1 chef can come out in the next episode as actually a level 3, professional chef with 20 years of professional experience and say "i just wanted to see how you noobs cook with no cool gadgets" and I would not even flinch. he looks like he's so under control.

[@HeathenChannel]

This level 1 knows everything and nothing at the same time

[@eleazarevanmoeljono8804]

I love how level one knows what he is doing

[@MrUnwichtig109]

the level 3 chef went a bit overboard ...that is some expensive food xd

[@annmariebusu9924]

MrUnwichtig109 way too many toppings but I still want to eat hers😅

[@sorrym8421]

I mean, she is a level 3 chef so why not

[@melsyoutube]

The level one chef made bad bread, not doughnuts

[@ellabartal4652]

He basically made a sad, pale, round white cake. It's not a donut.

[@ellabartal4652]

@Phil Stehle Satan's donuts, brought to you by the firey pits of hell.

[@terih6657]

All the level one chefs are getting good I expected him to get a plain donut and decorate it

Pink shirt guy Edit: How rude of me. Apparently he goes by Mr pink shirt guy

Krispy Kreme doughnuts 🍩 all the way! No cakey doughnuts! Sweet fluffy ones are best

[@tiktokstocks9704]

Fofita17 the Walmart bakery doughnuts are top tier At least where I live and the Kristina kreme is garbage

[@fofita17]

100,000 subs without A video - fresh hot Krispy Kreme? Or the ones sold already made in boxes?

Tracy is so creative. Love watching her and Penny create masterpieces.

[@shireenakhtar4653]

Amateur: hi, I’m Shane and I’m a level 1 chef Home cook: I’m Anthony and I’m a level 2 chef Pro chef: hi , I’m Tracy and I’m from the *iNstiTuTe oF cUliNarY edUcAtiOn* and I’m a level 3 chef

[@airicastarwall1349]

They got the wrong amateur cook, a REAL amateur would just go out and buy a donut...or a dozen

[@ElizabethDebbie24]

I think it would be a good idea if the food scientist at the end tasted each of the products to give her opinion of them, as when the amateurs and the pro chef eat their own product they are bound to say it is tasty and well made, an unbiased opinion needs to be given.

[@alanservin5026]

Omg more of Tracy finally!!

[@maribelpenaleon9839]

Did i just hear “I’m a level 3 chef” 😱

[@chriztmas2431]

Level 0 Chef: Okay everybody we are going to get in our car and drive to the nearest Walmart. Okay now that we are in the Walmart we are going to make a right to the Bakery, side note these are made in the Bakery, the donuts just happen to be here. Now you are gonna look for the white box with donuts in it and wah-lah you are done. I suggest purchasing and taking them outside before tasting, tasting in the Walmart is frowned upon in my culture

[@jjyo3353]

And if I don't have walmarts in Colombia what do I do! Can I change it 🤔

[@chriztmas2431]

@@jjyo3353 I'm glad you asked because I'm also a ( -1 ) Chef! Next time when you need gas, while pumping said gasoline. Go into the station, go-to the tiny isles. At most you will have to deal with 4 isles, so it might be a challenging one, but stay cool and keep your eyes high and a small pack of white donuts will be near the top row
