Getting a full analysis of everything you did right from Chris must be so satisfying

[@Corvinus96]

Hi Claire! An idea to potentially improve your recipe. In addition to the monosodium glutamate that is providing umami, the original Doritos also contains both disodium inosinate and guanylate, which are chemicals that boost the umami sensation on the tongue. This is the main idea behind the basic Japanese dashi where Kombu (containing monosodium glutamate) and Bonito flakes (containing inosinate) combine synergistically to make a wonderful yet simple stock. Guanylate can be found in abundance in dried shiitake mushrooms. So what I would suggest you try adding to your recipe in small amounts are 1) powdered bonito flakes and 2) dried shiitake mushroom powder. Hope this helps! :)

[@colleengostomski7925]

Evidence that Chris is an NPC: -He's always, always wearing the same outfit. -He always has a pen behind his right ear, uncapped. -Every time I've ever seen him eat food on this show he sniffs it, makes the face where he squints his eyes and nods slightly, and then takes a very small bite before giving his opinion. -He's always in the background and sometimes he's important to the plot.

Theory: while filming his episode, Brad wanted to make sure the press wouldn't disappear if someone else used it. After filming, the label remained. It's what happens in my art studio, in any case

[@marquee-moon]

Have to say I actually made this recipe just now and the flavor profile is so much more accurate (and simultaneously kind of elevated) than I anticipated it would or could be. Absolutely nails the umami ‘just one more chip’ flavor. It definitely requires some uncommon ingredients, but would encourage anyone to actually give this a try!

3Dwitch oh, honey.

[@jess-tu6jc]

I thought "oh gosh, she's going to have to dehydrate something"

[@morganapendragon7356]

*sees video* : "Claire's got this one in the bag" *sees video is 46 minutes long* : "ah. "

[@johannalucas2239]

My exact thoughts.

[@Anni-kb5gj]

It’s not that she’s taking any longer to do it tho. They just put in more of the footage bc the longer it is the more money they get

[@Zircon77]

tess Bel I’m pretty sure they get paid as long as the video is >10 minutes

[@Anni-kb5gj]

Roman Watson no the longer it is the more ads they can put on it. Look how many ads there are. They would t fit on a ten minute video

[@beeboop1146]

oh my god i just noticed

[@becca1822]

Me: *sees length of video* Me: *worries about Claire's sanity*

[@Rzepcl]

I came here to say the exact thing! Poor Claire!

[@jenniferneumann7836]

Same 🤣

[@danhogarty458]

Claire you have the perfect iterative process of testing and improving. Major food products have extraordinarily high amplitude flavor profiles (like Howard Moscowitz describes via Malcolm Gladwell's Ted Talk on Choice, Happiness, and Spaghetti Sauce). It's so tough to get a blended amplitude flavor profile where you don't taste outlier elements separately. Example: generic cola tastes like a bunch of different flavors: cinnamon, caramel, corn syrup vs. a Coke which tastes like a Coke. The difference is how carefully blended and balanced the flavors are.

[@dekel9956]

46 minutes long???? Oh lord that means Claire is gonna lose her mind this episode (more than usual) 😂 Update: my prediction was very right 😂

[@kinlau5105]

DJK I’m so conflicted. On one hand this extra long episode means we’re gonna get more Claire goodness. On the other hand it also means Claire’s gonna be one step closer to breaking down in frustration

[@andrewguadarrama2285]

+p

[@morganl2633]

Kin Lau yup it’s a sick pleasure because I want long episodes since I love her but it also means she’s closer to having a mental break. They need to send her to Hawaii or something like that for a break and de-stress situation.

[@dcred123]

"Alright everyone, important meeting is starting now!" Claire: "Doritos episode!"

[@suestarmom]

The "Claire Makes Gourmet" series is one of my absolute favorites on KZbin! I love the way everyone pitches in to help, even if they are busy with other things. And Chris is always so helpful in getting the components of the flavor/texture etc... just right!

[@NuikopeaDemon]

Until Chris tells you temper the chocolate but Claire doesn't do that 😂

[@lauraartes]

Gabi talking about how latinos can fix anything with tape and wire, gotta love our creativity. In brazil we call them "gambiarras" and it makes the world go round

[@carmenp3003]

Next episode: Pastry chef attempts to make gourmet boiled water Clarie:"I'm gonna need the dehydrator"

[@logicz5457]

Lmao

[@cecefernandes5657]

Be sure to temper it too

[@carmenp3003]

@@cecefernandes5657 ofc, how could I forget that? We don't want Chris to get mad.

[@sjd8493]

For that she'll have to disassemble and then reassemble the molecules

[@Stillcantthinkofaname]

@alphant1 I like big butts...

[@MrPhish21]

US Patent: This is exactly how they make doritos, down to the cooking temp and the time. Claire: Im gonna d e h y d r a t e it

[@O_Oww__]

US Patent: Am i a joke to you

[@zaku196]

To be fair, she's not exactly trying to recreate the same thing though haha

[@LordDragox412]

Claire: Follows the patent Frito-Lay lawyers: Wait. That's illegal.

[@AzuRemilia]

She really dislikes hydrogen. I think she uses dehydrator each episode

[@jpsarver5514]

Whenever Chris Morocco approves of a dish, I personally feel the validation.

[@grandmasterdrew63]

Just stumbled on this show and am kind of upset it took KZbin this long to randomly suggest it. Great show and everyone in the kitchen is great, well done. 👍

[@kmeeks92987]

Imagine how I feel a year later. Now I’m stuck watching every video lol

[@E5va]

Who would win: A pastry chef expert who managed to recreate numerous snacks. One chip.

[@moomoocachoo9025]

Me before the video started: Yay! They finally made Claire do this! Me pressing play and seeing how long the video is: ....damn. I'm sorry they made you do this, Claire.

[@Nyxie007]

Ze Moch I was halfway through before I realized just how long this episode is.

[@teaganv]

LMFAOOO *chris eats store bought chip and doesn’t know it” “The texture is great!” Claire: “Thats Wholefoods chip....” 26:44

[@merryfreshmess4305]

Teagan.V then when she laughs it makes a high pitch noise lmaoo

[@SeanFerree]

😂😂

[@jamonm5702]

Can't lie it makes me appreciate Doritos so much more lol
