What can I say, COVID has made us do different things... Let us know what you think the starter should be named. Excited to see how creative y'all can get.

I was like GIRL, SAME.

I had to replay that part 😂😂😂 it spoke to my soul!!

[@gymnastoman1]

Ain’t no laws when you drinkin Claws!

[@PatrickSpeaking]

Seeing your profile icon was a blast from the past

[@babyyoda1156]

I want Claire to do a video where she spends a week just making meals from whatever she has in her fridge without buying new stuff. Great way to empty her fridge and for us to get more content!

[@doseoftheater]

Totally agree. Please do this, Claire ☺️

[@giopyui]

I'd love to see what she eats in general, like I'm interested to know what she cooks for herself for lunch/dinner etc!

[@WeCaredALot]

This would be cool!

[@the.annethology]

This should totally be a collabe video with June!

[@johannaperez80]

June ❤️❤️

[@GabysKitchen]

I remember when you moved in! oh Claire! I wish I can put my hands on the "drawer of stuff" please let me do it! I am begging you!

[@kelarisa]

PLEASE LET GABY DO IT CLAIRE WE ARE BEGGING YOU

[@nameslesss]

Gaby :) ❤️

[@wowmyelectric]

I appreciate that Claire has an extremely relatable kitchen and not an “aesthetic” kitchen for KZbin. You KNOW she cooks in her kitchen.

[@sijamMGL]

Agree

[@danbev8542]

Totally agree! My kitchen is always cluttered- but it works for me. ☺️

[@tati.l.]

Claire: "I do use the rule of like multiple functions" Also Claire: "I don't know what that does, ok?"

[@MrGamerCaptain]

I'll give the mushroom brush that it's cute.

[@gel3416]

also buys an egg topper

[@katieoldford2582]

it sparks joy

[@lilabs_]

Small things are an exception haha

[@AllegraVivace]

I appreciate that Claire and the crew really do listen to the commenter feedback in giving us these extra episodes

[@samwarren2850]

The Kerrygold butter being mentioned by name and then blurred out killed me

[@lizfrosty5690]

It would’ve been hilarious if there was a censored bleep out 😂

[@lauren9131]

Claire: these are my grandmother’s cake pans. Also Claire: if I could only save one thing it would be these containers because they perfectly hold a bag of flour. Everything else is replaceable

[@eva.mia.]

i kept thinking about this omg !!!

[@thedaystarsfall]

😅🤣 This got me.

[@carlocariaga5521]

the vanilla jar stored on the shelf where it could easily fall off... keeps me awake at night.

I mean i cant imagine your starter to be named anything other than half sour saffitz

I don’t think people realize how nice of a kitchen that actually is for Manhattan

[@seroun17]

Confession: my starter is named Blair, because Brad and Claire made me want to make sourdough.

[@sojansetly6810]

Omg I love this

[@crawfordcapturesco]

Claire could literally post a 35 minute video titled 'Making A Glass of Ice Water' and I would watch every damn second

[@LaLaLaAllDayLong]

She should make the *spa water* she mentioned in the lemon tart episode

[@crawfordcapturesco]

@@LaLaLaAllDayLong I think you're onto something here!

[@NEOSAP]

same!!!

[@AllegraVivace]

Claire having to justify the skincare in the fridge is something I felt on a personal level 😂

Yes! Going to need her to drop that skincare routine!!

[@FIFERTIS]

Now for my favorite part "listing the ingredients" of my freezer. 😂 Takes me back

[@ArgentAbendAzure]

Claire, and Harris have shoved an impressive amount of cooking equipment and food into that little kitchen. That's some kind of maximum density. They've achieved perfect Chef Tetris.

[@Chamitammy]

It's true! :) Geetings from Augsburg!

[@phill8273]

I love how different languages can have much longer or shorter ways to express the same thing. I do wonder why it's such a long word in German

[@flammifera__]

@@phill8273 'cause we Germans feel the need to describe to the t what it exactly does. Word by word, it's kinda like "thing that does intended breaking points in egg shells"

[@DizzyBusy]

That's a fine thing to see written on a birthday card. "Liebe Claire, alles Gute zum Geburtstag. Als Geschenk bekommst du von uns einen Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. Wir haben uns die Mühe gegeben das Wort auf dieser kleinen Karte zu schreiben & nun hamm wir k1 Platz mehr. LG"

The pan to "vegetable drawer" filled with beer sent me 😂

beer is made from barley, which is a grain, which is a vegetable.... cousin? Vegetable adjacent? *grasping at straws*

[@beckypalsgrove8546]

We have a "beer crisper" drawer in our fridge too!

[@randomname24680]

In the name of multi-fonctions, mine is a "Beer and Carrots" drawer, cause it's the only vegetable I store in my fridge ^^.

[@DismemberTheAlamo]

Lets be honest, thats what we all use that bottom drawer for

[@vegas5848]

Where were her actual veggies kept? Didnt see any

Major flashbacks to the good old times before racism 🌝

[@jackiemasek8302]

Is it normal to have been waiting for the ingredient list to appear? Asking for a friend.

😭 very true! Waiting for more.

[@cabe_bedlam]

so glad to find my people in the comments.

[@Volkaru]

Nice rush of nostalgia.

[@jenniferharlow4603]

Honestly impressed with how Claire’s kitchen is organized chaos. She managed to fit A LOT into such a small kitchen and I’m here for it. Also, love the cats being jade rolled at the end ❤️

[@pinkfoosballtable7875]

"I just did this to make me feel good. I don't really stick to this system." is the most relatable thing i've ever heard.

[@trentskillet]

I wasn't sure what I expected, but Claire's kitchen is literally an entire grocery store packed into a small kitchen 😂

[@EmmettMakes]

😂 so true

[@lulucool45]

doomsday bunker vibes

[@kororopocoro4935]

Small kitchen where the owner actually cook meals is so much better than billionaire's kitchen when all the owner does is take outs.

[@marmitemel]

Exactly what I thought, all those Architectural Digest ridiculous unused kitchens and then kitchen’s like Claire’s and Alison Roman’s are so much better!

[@kororopocoro4935]

@@marmitemel I like watching huge houses and most of the time the rich people either don't have the time to cook for themselves or their family or they simply don't know how to cook, either way I think it's sad. They actually filled their kitchen with "displays / decorations" not "cooking equipment" because they never use them.

[@ispearedbritney]

I don't think you realize how much a billion is. Thousandaires get takeout. Billionaires can afford to fly chefs like Claire, with her vanilla in tow, to personally cook for them in their billionaire's kitchens on a whim.

[@recoil53]

@@ispearedbritney Yes, also the time of a billionaire is worth a lot. Your ordinary person scrambles to get a dinner on the table. A billionaire chooses if cooking is worth it for them. It's no different than getting a plumber or having a mechanic service a car. I'd say a better comparison are YT'ers - you often see a pristine kitchen in their McMansions along with take out containers.

[@marcoangara1021]

Omg, yes!!!

[@silverfritzreah5598]

you truly gotta love that Vinny really owns the list of ingredients edit like,,, who fuckin cares if its for gourmet makes I came up with it its mine SUCK IT BA

I may not be a baker, but as a college student who struggles to keep up with academic requirements, I just want you to know Claire that your videos have helped me stay calm and just have a breather once in a while. Your genuineness and passion for cooking is something I always admire about you and that's what actually makes me want to watch your videos even I'm still writing my paper at 3 in the morning. So thank you Claire and your amazing team! You have helped not only home cooks, but even students like me.

Felix has been conspicuously missing for 3 episodes. Last time we saw him he was not doing well! I need a Felix update!
