Ice Cream Expert Guesses Cheap vs Expensive Ice Creams | Price Points | Epicurious

In this episode of 'Price Points', Epicurious challenges ice cream expert Jeni Britton Bauer to guess which one of two ice creams is more expensive. Jeni breaks down vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, strawberry ice cream, coffee ice cream, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and birthday cake ice cream. For each flavor, Jeni looks at, smells, and taste tests before guessing which ice cream costs more. Once the prices are revealed, she explains why.

[@loveluca6981]

3:45 "air is free" Not when you buy a bag of chips :)

[@annemontgomery3890]

That's not air, though. It's a noble gas (which doesn't interact with flavor, while air does) they use to inflate the bag and keep the chips intact. They used to sell potato chips in tin cans; you don't want to try those after a week.

[@rohitghali]

They can make the bag small and put in less noble gas. But they intentionally make a huge packet with more air than chips. Don't try to justify their scam...

[@ThePointblank]

@@rohitghali I've worked in food manufacturing. The reason why there's so much air in a bag of chips is to reduce the likelihood of all of the chips being crushed under their own weight during transportation. The extra gas is there to act as a cushion to prevent your potato chips from turning into potato crumbs.

[@stfulosersrigbone]

It's Nitrogen not air, (although nitrogen makes up 78% of air). It's added so chips don't oxidize in the bag and become stale.

[@nightsfire]

She's saying for the company it's a free ingredient, not the consumer, so it's gonna be cheaper to produce creaminess with aeration than high-quality dairy

[@gregorytipton6352]

This is true with the chocolate ice cream she sells, since you can save a lot of money getting Aldi's, which tastes the same

[@pixelfox9666]

I think sometimes food experts can be sort of snobbish when it comes to their area of expertise. I really like that she kept on repeating that it's all about personal preference, that the more expensive ice cream isn't always the best (and sometimes not even the best quality), and that it's about what you're looking for in an ice cream. As someone who just discovered how amazing Walmart brand ice cream can be (at $2 a carton) I can completely relate!

[@arxsyn]

I find that the chocolate chips in the majority of the ice cream I've tried isn't very good. For instance, it's not real dark, crisp chocolate. It's something I don't know, plastic-y and chewy with no real good chocolate flavor. I'm saying this as a (dark) chocolate lover.

[@jayamilapersson4030]

Im the kind of person who like more unusual flavours like matcha, honeydew/passionfruit, rainbow, pear/Daim, pear, but I also like chocolate

[@gelusvenn5063]

I really quite enjoyed this one, this lady is professional without being pretentious, and notes that individual tastes may differe from what you'd expect comparatively to the common concept that more expensive = automatically better. Ice cream is something that I've always loved, just because the blank canvas of cream and sugar(flavor wise) can be transformed into basically anything that someone might want to, even if as we've learned from Iron Chef, maybe some flavor combinations aren't such a fantastic idea even if they are creative.

Which I loved about her too. There's an obvious difference between mass produced factory ice cream, and more homemade style ice cream. But it gets to a point where the bells and whistles don't add to the ice cream experience. I could hear her talk about ice cream all day.

[@a14a17k]

[@100nitrog2]

Fun fact: Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, creators of Ben & Jerry's, didn't initially plan on going into the ice cream business. They knew they wanted to open a food business together, but only settled on ice cream after they learned that bagel-making equipment was too expensive for them to afford. Other fun fact: the reason Ben & Jerry's relies on mixed in ingredients so much is because Ben Cohen has severe anosmia (he can't smell, which is a big part of taste), and as such had a strong preference for textural contrast in his food.

I love how the experts aren't snobby about the food in that a higher price point does not necessarily equal a better product and they won't dismiss something simply because it's cheaper.

[@bananabyter]

Well, higher quality ice cream usually means more expensive ingredients. To create a solid business you should be making more than you're spending (I think that's kind of obvious, but whatever), so, to cover the more expensive ingredients, you would naturally charge more for your product. Plus, people will usually pay more for more well-made, more natural products rather than cheaply made, chemical-chalked products.

I think because cheaper ice cream all have more stabilisers and that can cost your mouth and affect the taste of the next ice cream. Plus, it's more likely will be masked with sugar and will he too sweet.

Her voice and look reminds me of Hannah Hart a little bit

[@pogpogpurinn]

Same! I couldnt stop thinking of that!

[@placeb0fication]

Thank you! I was looking for someone to make this comment.

[@TheChazzyC]

Hannah Hart always looks like she’s faking and dead inside; unlike this woman.

[@r3ikobomb]

@@TheChazzyC Same. I hate that Hannah person.

[@wizzlet6821]

IgnoranceDeath Sounds like she did you wrong or somethin >_>

[@BrendelC]

she reminds me of florence pugh for some reason. i think it’s the timbre of her voice and her cadence

[@BeccaMoses]

I totally get that ! it’s a vibes thing

[@ara-od8qy]

"It smells very rich, and even before I take a bite I can smell it" Me: *snifffff* wait- what?

[@miracleheard9108]

I'm watching a 22 minute ice cream tasting video at 4:30am and that tells everything that is needed to know about me.

[@sssinfullyyours]

Miracle Heard 😂😂😂😂😂

[@oliverasavic2508]

Me too

[@LL-bl8hd]

Are you me? 🤔

[@kaleezinn5214]

2 years later and same

[@TheFamousMockingbird]

I know it's two years later but it's 4:34 am and I'm doing the same thing. Let me know what I'll be doing exactly two years from now if you don't mind

[@MandoEmmm]

If the icecream business doesn't work, she should do audiobooks my goodness is her voice relaxing.

[@lilbatz]

Man...in high school, I should have put icecream taster as a career path. Beats the mess I'm doing now! You are living the dream Ms Tester! 😍🍦🍨

When I was a kid, my family went to this big camp church gathering every year. People from all over the state got together at a large campground that happened to be right next to a commercial mint farm. In the middle of summer, hot as it gets in Oregon, there would be harvested piles of mint like giant haystacks all over an adjacent field and they steamed in the sun. The smell of fresh mint still reminds me of the retching illness this caused. More than one person fell to their knees heaving when walking too close to that mint field. It was my first real example of the power of overwhelming smell.

[@radfatdaddy4169]

This is the greatest camp story I have ever heard.

[@sheyjake]

Idk why but just watching this, I feel like that lady is a really good person.

[@k_a_y_l_e_e]

she's the cool aunt everyone wants.

[@hj-hl9ti]

She had a shop in Columbus when I worked at an art glass nonprofit & she always donated to events, I remember her giving us so much ice cream. This was back around 2007 and I think she had a salted caramel back then. People loved it.

[@HendersonHinchfinch]

Oh

[@Dani-Peach]

I run into her a lot at local events and she’s seriously the sweetest person I’ve ever met

[@k_a_y_l_e_e]

hold up: Columbus as in Ohio??!?!?

[@amiedevlin21]

Can we get a video on how these people become ice cream and cheese experts etc.. I mean does it pay the bills and where do I sign up?

[@star4life822]

They make it or they are a food critique or chef

[@dylantrujillo9001]

She's got her own ice cream company. Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream

[@CorporateShill]

Mrs fancy pants Business owners. They pay the bills and are able to buy 30 Tesla's

[@sparks6177]

Mrs fancy pants most often the “experts” are industry professionals, chefs, bakers, small business owners, etc, that are in the industry of the particular product they are testing. She’s an ice cream maker/owner of her own ice cream shop and brand, it’s not like you get scooped up by an industry and are dubbed an “expert”

[@arcabussy3798]

You can find video about her in KZbin just search’s jeni’s ice cream

[@Jo-zw7fw]

Her Pineapple Upsidedown Cake is now my #1 favorite. I love all her flavors, but it's the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Her Savannah Mint is also so fabulous. You can taste butter in her Maple Pancakes, too. So many great options and she's so creative.

[@artofescapism]

mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream flavor, but i started making my own mint simple syrup from the mint in my garden and now no store bought mint ice cream can compare! they're all flavored like mint candy and such, which is good, but i love love love the fresh, herbal, green flavor of my homemade mint syrup!

[@StewNWT]

did you also get spiders in your mint?

[@arandomyoutubeuser_____8930]

It's amazing how knowledgeable people can be on different topics. To me, ice cream is ice cream, and I probably wouldn't notice too much of a difference between the same flavors of different brands. I find it fascinating how many subtle differences she can spot. I'm this way with orchestral music... I've spent over half my life in various orchestras, and every time I listen to a piece, I hear something different. I try to pick out each section... especially strings, and listen to how all the parts weave together. My sister, however, claims that every piece sounds the same! Lol. When people are so passionate about a subject, I find their depth of knowledge a bit fascinating. 👧😁

[@Jacob1451_Kapnobatai]

Same

[@lumpyfishgravy]

She needs her own channel, this is just fantastic.

[@Gikarin.Gamemaster]

She had her own ice cream business: Jeni's ice cream

[@WhatsInTheFridge]

These videos are fantastic. The gumminess of stabilizers ALWAYS bothers me, (Basking Robbins, Cold Stone, etc) and the idea of coffee ice cream TASTING like good coffee SMELLS is so helpful! Fresh ingredients and labor really does up the cost, hot damn! Did anyone else learn why they would do when making ice cream at home?

[@janicetanumihardja808]

I didnt know there is a birthday cake flavored ice cream. Nor did i know you need breathing exercises to properly taste ice cream. Imma try next time...

[@pexches]

Birthday cake icecream is so good!

[@KeiHaunter]

She’s like the aunt I’ve always wanted to have 😊

[@kellyluk4140]

Her: ice cream has its texture and flavor Me: I will eat any ice cream.

[@saysoun752]

Not me as some aren't good. I'll stick to Breyers and Mayfield for cheap ice cream and Häagen-Dazs for my slightly more expensive ice cream and Jeni's when I want to splurge. I like uncomplicated flavors so I'm not a huge fan of Ben & Jerry's as some of their flavors are overly complicated.

[@sophie4221]

Even ice cream the flavor of poo?

[@kellyluk4140]

Sophie Tran : maybe......

NEVER EVER eat Prairie Farms ice cream, it's disgusting.

Aw Jeni is delightful, there is a really awesome blend of pragmatism and emotional competence on display here that's super satisfying to see played out against a professional who is very good at their job. Really glad I watched this and hope we get to see more of Jeni in the future.

I love her personality. This video was pretty fun to watch. She is goals because I want to open up my own ice cream shop/franchise too.
