@Bruce Wayne Yeah, I found the lack of toaster use on his toaster strudel kinda disappointing. The product is a quick convenience product, you get from the fridge, heat and eat. So why don't make something like that? A gourmet strudel that you could freeze and then just pop it out. Because let me tell you, his would simply die if you try to froze and defrost. There's a lot of science that goes into the food industry, and that's the point he is missing here

@Bruce Wayne I think YOU miss the point that literally nobody thinks he is trying to replace fast food, and even he's said, like most normal people realise, that he's not missing any point to even the slightest degree. Never in his life is any of these ever meant to be convenient, because that would defeat the purpose of needlessly (yes, even by his admission) elevating fast food favorites as much as possible. Where do you get off with your confusion, wanting easy recipes or some bs? (I realise that this comment might be TOO troll-y, so sorry)

[@vahnn0]

"This isn't even really a fair competition." You're right. You're disqualified and you lose. You made streudel, not toaster streudel. The shit store ones, shitty as they are, are already made and frozen, ready to be popped into a toaster and ready to eat in minutes any time, at a moment's notice. You baked fresh, delicious, fluffy, amazing streudel. But not toaster streudel. You can't just have yours in a couple minutes. So technically a loss. But god damn those look so fucking good.

[@voltage7358]

Lmaoo facts, is he supposed to make something thinner that can be frozen then toasted? It’s a lot harder to toast “real” puff pastry, too flakey.

[@samsus4944]

"You can't just have yours in a couple minutes". The first time that you make your batch of anything homemade you have to go through the whole baking process. Definitely not in a toaster, but then you can re-heat them later in a pan when you want more. It would be interesting if he later makes something to be re-heated in a toaster.

[@michaelplaysbass]

I mean, if your main metric for wins and losses is how long it takes to make from scratch, versus the fast food/frozen version, Josh can't ever win. The point is to make the thing the best version it could possibly be, not prepared in the same amount of time

[@MWDoom]

@@michaelplaysbass the main metric is "is this a reasonable but better replacement for the item being compared against" and it fails the "toaster" metric where you can take your cooked, now frozen, toaster strudel and out it in the toaster to get a hot pastry in a few minutes.

While I'm sure that this is a much better product, it's not a toaster strudel replacement. The point of a toaster strudel is that you take it out of the freezer, completely frozen, and put it in a toaster to finish. I'm not sure you can do that with puff pastry. You might need to revisit this one.

[@my_granny]

Agreed. If you can't heat it up at six in the morning when you're barely awake enough to string two thoughts together, it's not a toaster strudel replacement.

[@SknowingWolf]

I agree, and that's where I wouldn't mind him shifting the focus of this series at some point. I don't think any of us questions that we can make something better than toaster strudel or McDonald's lol The point of these is the ease of which they are made or cheaply consumed. Although I feel like this episode was still a good show of that ideology because honestly, yeah this wouldn't be like a "still asleep while getting ready for work breakfast" but it is a good example of being able to take this concept (minus toaster) and making it better really easily, and not to expensive either. Most of what was used in the video is kitchen staples and the most expensive thing was probably the fruit (and the alcohol if you don't already have some for the apple recipe). I think trying to keep the but better option on the simple and cheap side would be a great focus for these, instead of going over the top like he does in some of the episodes, although it is cool to see what can be done to the same concept regardless and I love watching them :)

Trust me, I would love to make and eat those pastries he made; they look damn good, and I will definitely be making that recipe at some point in my future. I just think this win either needs an asterisk or a rematch, similar to another dessert item *cough cough, krispie kremes, cough cough*

@Chicken_Beeb _Lord My apologies then. I misread the comment as saying "Wasn't trying to" instead of "Didn't.", and missed the joke. Been a weird week lol.

[@cuross01]

Okay, but can you toast in the toaster? I forgive ignoring the convenience of mass produced fast foods and such, but it's a 'toaster' strudel! Guess I'll need to get a toaster oven for these haha

[@Dakforever1]

Joshua trying to make toaster strudels look worse than they are Joshua: the icing doesn't hold it's shape, me: yeah not when you carelessly blob it on a hot pastry Joshua: (wining about sugar), me: have you seen how much sugar you put in yours Joshua: why is it so red, me: YOUR WAS AS RED that does not look like it belongs in a toaster nor does it look like it could fit in a child's mouth Try staying in the confines of a toaster, when making a toaster pastry next time!!!

Yikes

[@ren__1289]

Damn..

[@KillingIsBadong]

100% agree

[@_Shay_]

The fact you’re getting this worked up over some garbage over priced fake pastries is sad

[@Dakforever1]

@@_Shay_ of course the're fake, and probably taste worse then his. But since you missed the point let me tell you, why do an elaborate job making toaster pastries look bad, not like it's difficult to do. this is just a case of one guy making a big deal out of another guy making a big deal with food.

[@chophappy]

Your version of the toaster strudel looks amazing! I would eat those all day haha

The 2 biggest reasons why I'm subscribed to this channel is: 1. Recipe is in the description. 2. It's in metric.

[@peterskorec8246]

Man, what will I do if you stop doing videos. You taught me so many genius recipes!

[@barbarabarros1099]

josh after every video: “honestly it wasn’t that hard”

[@DrBrainSol]

The recipe is pretty good but to qualify as a Toaster Strudel it should be cooked in a toaster. I don't think this method would allow that to be done. Perhaps doable by part cooking the strudels in the oven and then freezing the undercooked strudel?

[@rebeccanorth8896]

Brah, I love Toaster Strudel 😂 Omg, the icing is my favorite part !

[@afung89]

i LOVE THE WAY YOU DRIZZLED ON MY STRUDEL

[@Samlim91]

*Who started watching him randomly then regularly watch him eating every time?* 👇

[@marcs1014]

Do u think that if u froze the filling into little individual blocks, you'd be able to get more filling into it because it wouldn't leak out when its frozen n the pastry would probably have bonded together before it could melt

[@remissiveslave]

Your cooking skill is extraordinary.

[@Peppermon22]

I made these before. I put cream cheeses with egg whipped in under the jelly. Omg the cream cheese jelly mix is amazing.

Is that even a "toaster strudel" anymore

[@DracoSafarius]

Nah not even close tbh, but I bet it's still delicious

[@jaethencarl6700]

Impossible! Nothing beats a delicious toaster strudel. When i wake up in the morning i do not want to spend hours making pastry! I want a convenient and delicious toaster strudel.

[@evaedwards5061]

JOSH PLS can you do an episode of "But Better" with the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits PLEASE I would be so happy, those things are addicting as is, and I wanna see them be better

[@stikk3943]

The end result looks great, but it isn't Toaster Strudel. Not even close. He made something completely different.

[@chadpickett8154]

I don't think this is a win. You made a strudel, not a toaster strudel. One of the best parts about toaster strudel is how you have the convenience of popping it in the toaster. I think to make that possible they par cook the pastry on a flat top, which is also why it gets less fluffy than a traditional strudel because cooking it on a flat top solidifies some of the layers of pastry together. You mentioned how you went so far above and beyond, but I think you just made something completely different.

[@jacobforshee6032]

This man better be doin something legendary this time around cause pillsbury toaster strudels go hard af

[@heatheramato3822]

Drooling! Also, mind blown! Maceration....
