[@Noahkinz]

I wish I could express how much I truly love these “I tried making” series. I doubt Claire even realizes how much of a comfort creator she is for people all over the world. It’s more than just a baking cooking/recipe. It’s a sense of peace and calm from all the craziness in the world. Thank you, Claire. (Please never stop this series! As long as you continue to enjoy it of course!)

[@emmataub2806]

I feel like the way they managed to get the peanut butter spread so evenly in the original is by freezing the peanut butter in thin sheets, cutting it into discs, and layering it with frozen jelly as well. Sorta leans into their whole model of "just let it thaw!" too

[@bibliophile1319]

I had the same thought!

[@Darkslasher777]

I love uncrustables because they are mindless to consume. All portions are pre-determined and proportionate while being portable without needing to worry about a mess (oh also I love them frozen too lol). Forever in the uncrustable cult

[@gracedreifuerst]

If you haven’t already, go ahead and put a frozen one in the toaster for 30 sec to a minute. The peanut butter should be frozen solid but the bread is warm and toasty. It’s an elevated experience

[@PullthaleverKronk]

Ooh I like this sort of sensory contrast in my food

[@AvidCat5000]

On long trips, a box of Uncrustables on the dashboard, thawing in the summer sun, is sometimes better than stopping for a bite. Great recreation. ✌️

[@cd2290]

I grew up in the 80s with my mom using a Pampered Chef sandwich press to make uncrustables. Virtually any sandwich can be made with it but you need a soft enough bread and your filling needs to not impede the seal. I went through a phase of not eating the crust as a kid and ate every sandwich this way. New England fluffanutters are classic

[@caseyjones5145]

That was a sweet thing for your mom to do.

[@biscottaish]

This unlocked a memory for me, we used to have a metal "pie iron" that would make something like this, then you heat it up over a campfire! You could fill it with jelly but I definitely did PB&J too

[@kyrastuart1920]

Ooh, fluffernutters! I loved those.

[@kabeagle]

We had the same pampered chef press in the 90s. We had so much fun making any sandwich we could manage "uncrustable"

[@jaysonbelyea8981]

Yummy! I want one. If you disassemble one while it is still frozen, you will see Uncrustables uses frozen discs of fillings when assembling their sandwiches. Extra thin layers of peanut butter on both the top and the bottom to keep the jelly from soaking through.

[@candouidus]

I truly love the Claire Recreates series for desert. It would be fun to see some savory snack like the honey mustard pretzel, could be home made chips or some rice crackers home made. I'd be curious to see how to recreate/do that!

[@Balletwingert]

Claire, I know it would be a challenge, I believe in you and that you could do it. You should make, Little Debbie’s Nutty Buddy. It would be such a feat of candy making to do it at home. Also, you could take it and twist it if you would like and make it more like a petit four. 🤷🏼‍♂️ just saying. American classic candy, your show, French patisserie at its finest caliber.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are my favorite late night snack so I'm super excited Claire did her own version of Uncrustables!!

I think its important to note that it being frozen is to also help keep other things in your lunchbox cold without having to use an ice pack

[@emma70707]

Normal sandwiches also freeze and thaw ...

[@TeganM.C.]

I love how she makes the entire product. It's like a cooking show mixed with scientific experiments. Most people would just take sandwich bread, put the pb&j on, and use a cutter. I've seen numerous make uncrustables at home videos like that. She makes all the components from scratch! Claire is smart and skilled, an inspiration for me! 💐🌻

[@robynporter8752]

I ate so many uncrustables when I was pregnant! As a school teacher, sometimes we don’t get a lunch, so these were so easy to just throw in my purse and take to work!

[@emjaydoubleyou]

Wow, such potent nostalgia. In the way that kid preferences can be a little… mysterious, I always liked it when there was still a tiny bit of frozen jam in the middle of mine. An appreciable portion of my school lunches could be described as “an uncrustable and a clementine grabbed on the way out the door.” I wouldn’t have guessed they would would enjoy such a resurgence, very glad to see them with your stamp of approval!

[@lss8713]

@@annchovy6 I realize that she didn’t, but there are a lot of Japanese milk bread recipes that are basically like brioche instead of a true milk bread recipe. I just wanted to note that if anybody else tries Claire’s recipe, a milk bread recipe (without egg) might be a better choice.

[@tamz0309]

I make them all the time with Nutella and banana filling. My kids eat them frozen. I really liked this video, I can always use tips on things that are staples in our home. If you make these a lot investing in a good Pullman pan is super helpful. The shape and size is perfect for these!

This is one where having a press would have solved a lot of the assembly issues. I once got to go to that place in the LA indoor food court that did fresh Uncrustables, making their own ingredients and having the press. They've sadly since closed, but I got a single Strawberry Jam one and it was the most amazing thing ever! After I finished it I wish I'd gone back for a second, especially since it's gone now.

Uncrustables began in a side room of the Geske Ice Factory in Fargo. They had a mini assembly line and a machine that stamped off the crust, and at that time were being sold to schools for school meal program. Then in like 1998 they sold the rights to Smuckers and the uncrustables were born.

I work at Olive Garden and recreating some of their classics would be amazing! I know all of their stuff is relatively easy to make at home but most wouldn't know where to begin! The breadstick, desserts or food would be good.

[@DanielleBaum]

I'm not school age anymore (cough haven't been for quite some time cough) but these things are awesome when you need something for breakfast. and I know "but you can make it" there's something pleasing about that soft bread with no crust and just the right amount of pb & j

[@sarahprince2412]

But you could just use soft bread and cut off the crusts to get the same effects like the uncrustables. Why wait 20-45 minutes to thaw them out when it would literally take like 15 seconds to make? Hell, you can even find molds nowadays to cut them out to be round too. The only good thing about uncrustables is that you don’t have any dishes or utensils you have to wash if you put them on a paper towel. Other than that, honestly not worth wasting money on. And before anyone comes at me about how they are portable, so are homemade pb&J sandwiches. Just saying.

I melt my peanut butter pour it on to a sheet pan with wax paper then freeze it and then cut it into rounds. I have an uncrustable cutter. I freeze them after assembly and they’re perfect. Uncrustables are delicious and really helpful when you have a hard time eating or remembering to eat kind of thing. It’s a tism safe food for me. I enjoy making them.
