Yay!!!!❤❤❤

[@charlenedalrymple7739]

The way I IMMEDIATELY paused the video to go buy it!!! I was so sad to miss it last time; thank you for restocking!

[@adventuresinbrowntown5592]

Yayyyyyyyyy!!!!! I’m 15 and missed out last time so as soon as I saw this I rushed to my mom and asked her to please buy it and that I’ll pay her back 😂😂😂 I’m super excited for this to come, the one I have is trash lol

[@sissyandmissyjewels]

I’m so sad my parents won’t let me get it😢😢😭😭😭😭😭

[@teddimonte3170]

Don't feel bad Kevin!! I watch my toaster glow red all the time, and then get scared when the toaster pops up lol

[@tinkrtailr]

Me, too! I love watching the metal bits slowly heat up

[@saotee194]

I, too watch the toaster, when I was younger (like maybe...7?) I was watching it and wanted to touch it but I *knew* that wasnt a good idea (smart 7yo), so I had the *brilliant* idea of taking something else, touching the red bit with THAT, then touching it, so I could feel the supposed heat by proxy, (great? plan?). Guess what I took as my proxy finger? A butter knife! That's when I learnt about fuses, fuseboxes and electrocution. Good times. Over 20 years later, I just watch the glowy redness and when I get the impulse to touch..I remember...

[@thenodiggardener]

Laurie's facial expressions on this had me dying! Seriously though, who was so desperate for cake with nothing but a toaster that they thought of that instead of going to the shop?

[@angeljustforyoulol]

Night cravings lmaoo

[@thenodiggardener]

@@angeljustforyoulol I did actually think back thirty years to when I had pregnancy cravings, and wondered if they'd have driven me to use a toaster for cake. My baby befuddled brain would probably have made me think that was an amazing idea lol

[@angeljustforyoulol]

@@thenodiggardener Lmaoo yeah pregnancy cravings are just smt else😂 hope u and ur now grown up baby (I suppose) are doing great!!

[@miminana-hd6nf]

I know, her face when she tasted the microwave, and air fryer cakes was hilarious.

[@Trendniiq]

"The smaller Laurie´s eyes get, the smaller her trust in Kevin's idea" - and then Laurie closes her eyes hahaha

[@tweetthang96]

One Thanksgiving, my grandmother’s oven went out. She made almost all of the meal, INCLUDING CAKE!!!, in slow cookers! She made an amazing chocolate pound cake type cake in a slow cooker, and gave me a recipe for it that I’ve now misplaced. This video is a grand adventure and I love it!

[@immoral_q]

The trick with cooking a cake in a rice cooker is to use it like a bain marie. Put water in and then the cake in (in a seperate pan!) because the water will stop it turning itself off. It's to do with sensor detecting when the bottom of the rice cooker gets over 100 degrees celsius. If there's always water in the bottom, it won't get oo hot and will stay on. At least, that is what I have been told by rice cooker expert Uncle Roger!

[@jules5841]

Besides steaming cakes, we also do sometimes make cakes directly in the rice cooker over here

[@freedomcat]

Rice cooker cheesecake

[@L.a.77]

My rice cooker had a cake button I was surprised when I found out not everyone's does

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

3:52 Kevin: when we had that sort of toaster, I did always watch the elements. I was also fascinated. I imagine we are not alone.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@Errantly]

Not alone🤗

[@hollyd.4793]

I am a 44 year old woman who still enjoys watching the toaster coils heat up.

[@thetruecrystalvixen]

When I was a child, our oven did not work, so my late mother would make vanilla cake in a microwave-proof, donut shaped plastic container. It tasted better than what you describe, though, I believe it is because my mother did it so much she perfected to make it taste good with the texture. It brings back nice memories of eating the cake she would make, as a treat for school with a pastel coloured icing.

[@Emy1127]

We lived in a tiny apartment after we got married and our oven died for over a year and all we had was the crock pot so I got really good at crock pot baking. The trick is to put a towel over it before you put the lid on to catch condensation so the top doesn't get wet.

[@faeangel7649]

My mom and I use crockpots for dumpcakes all the time, specifically pumpkin dumpcake. Tastes great, I'd recommend it

[@h_githma]

7:43 there's also a version of putting water in the pan and a smaller cake tray on top and covering it so it's a steam bake. I've tried that, the air fryer, waffle iron. Rice cooker is great for puddings as well!

[@emberise6613]

I grew up with cakes made in the microwave, though they are often more like puddings than cakes (the British version of pudding - like steamed puddings - not the American one). But also other cakes (Parkin was a good one). We did have specific recipes for it though, not just normal cake batter. You can make excellent sticky toffee puddings in the microwave - as long as you don't put them on for too long. Really easy to burn them in the middle. I also once had an excellent recipe for banana upside down cake in a slow cooker, though we lined it with foil first. The bananas went red-purple. I think you have to adapt the recipes and cook them at the right settings to get the best results.

[@Cbiskit23]

I do pancakes in the rice cooker, instead of doing little pancakes you just make one big one and slice it, so everyone’s pancakes are ready at the same time

[@TheMomoftw]

The air fryer works great! You just have to cover with aluminum foil for the first half of the cook time for it to work. 😉

[@flashylite]

There's no reason why it shouldn't, as it's basically a small fan oven. I think she just got the temp wrong.

[@PrincessLorie]

⁠@@flashyliteThat's what I was going to say. The temp was too high, I usually go 50° lower than an oven and 10-20% less time.

[@seabliss22]

I've been using boxed cake mix to make pancakes for breakfast for years. The grandkids love it 😄 Oh and Yes Kevin I always watch the toaster elements to make sure they turn red 😊

[@natashak537]

My rice cooker has a cake setting, so it cooks it without turning on and off. It does make pretty good cake, though I’ve found they tend to be a little denser than ones cooked in the oven.

[@jaynedavis3388]

🙋🏻‍♀️ I like watching the elements glow when I use the toaster too Kevin. Also there are instructions for microwave cake

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

Love this concept! I bake all kinds of things in my air fryer though. Biscuits, cinnamon rolls, macarons, bread, cake, cookies. I do have the Ninja 10-1 though. It’s not a basket type.

[@izzistock6807]

Fun video, but I do miss your decorating videos. They are what got me into your channel. I hope you've got more planned soon :)

[@kierancampire]

Sorry if I am telling you what you already know! But the reason food KZbinrs are doing less food content/food tips and instead challenge/gimmick things like this is because of KZbin itself. The actual cooking/baking videos, like tips on how to make food, how to decorate, stuff like that, it just isn't pulling in the views, engagement, and attracting new subscribers, and KZbin itself is not recommending those videos to people at all. Where as things like this, the price points, or videos about trends, those are giving Laurie and channels like her views and traffic flow. How To Cook That did a video on it a while ago that explains it better than I did, but it just sucks as yeah, many of us enjoy that content, I am sure they also want to create it, but if they want to stay relevant and make money they need to do stuff like this!

[@tammycruz4734]

Yes!!!!

[@lunabelletheinsane]

Same - but I understand that this her job and it's where the money comes from - so in order to keep the flow, they have to do things KZbin will actually recommend to people.

[@allannak89]

Just had to say, I'm with Kevin on watching the toaster inside!

[@Tony_JV]

30 seconds in: I predict the Tupperware container dishwasher, the lid explodes off from the steam pressure that will build up inside

[@SajarErbraTerof]

I did cook a excellent cake into the slow cooker. The trick is patience and you have to put a clean kitchen towel on the inside of the cover... so the excess moisture is catch by the towel and doen't fall back onto the cake! 👍

[@SajarErbraTerof]

The only reason why I cook cake into a slow cooker is because I can let it cook when I'm not home. I don't let the oven on without supervision.

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

0:48 FYI: even cuter, is my Staub Mini Crock Pot. A teeny, tiny, cast iron pot, perfect for cooking for one or two, or other multitudes of cooking applications. 🤗🤗🤗Just sayin’…

[@calicoinz]

love your videos!! with rice cookers i think they turn on and off because the way they detect "doneness" of rice/the temperature is by the water content, ive seen people usually put water at the bottom to cook things other than rice in a rice cooker, kind of like a double boiler!

[@ChanelBrink]

Cakes in the airfryer do work well provided you use the right setting. Most airfryers have a bake option which is great for cakes

[@jenniferwellman5311]

I think you did an excellent job, it’s interesting to note that my air fryer has a baking mechanism as well as air frying. So, I might be able to bake a cake in it.

[@lisaflower5994]

Perhaps if it looks like it is getting too dark, protect the top with a piece of baking paper or foil?

[@cassieengle6182]

I stopped this 3:45 just to say.. Yes, Kevin. Same. It was especially fascinating when only one side would glow and the others not (for the ones that had the single slice setting)

[@manaalmoosa7977]

My family used to make cake in a pan before we got an oven, so I already knew it would work. We used another pan to flip it into though to avoid spillage

[@Evie_Cvie]

the way you handle his snippy criticisms is admirable, I don't think i would handle it that gracefully

[@AmberBakesCakes]

I used to make cakes in a mug with jam in the bottom for my children as a pudding, it only took seven minutes, then turn it out ,the jam would melt and run down the sponge. I also used my slow cooker ( croc pot) as a small oven during the summer when we turned the Aga off, I made fairy cakes, cinnamon rolls ets, thanks from the UK x

[@SpotlessGiraffeReviews]

I cannot believe the toaster worked so well, although the frozen grilled cheese you put in the toaster is amazing, the toaster continues to amaze me! I love my cake smoother! Thank you!

[@ladymacca88]

I cannot tell you how quickly I clicked on that link to buy the smoother after I missed out last time 🤣 I have THREE of them that absolutely suck, so I’m counting on yours to be THE ONE!

[@MiriamG-yf1qg]

I actually have a cookbook for baking without an oven. I've made some really good chocolate cake in a pan this way. There's also recipes for the waffle iron, barbecue and microwave, which I have yet to try.

[@parafighterwifeTK]

You guys are so hilarious.... I have gone back and started watching all of your videos. I just love them, never fail to make me smile and laugh!!!

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

10:14 in RE: the air fryer Perhaps covering the batter in the beginning, and then taking it off? Air fryers super-het the outside of things. Cakes need internal heating. The microwave is all internal, quick heat, and the air fryer is all quick outside heat-precise opposites, in this case.🤗 13:23 Dishwasher: I have always seen foods placed on the top rack. I believe the rising heat may make a difference. I understand why you put it on the bottom, but that is never the instruction, with other things.🤗

[@arjunvadrevu]

I feel like this is a style of video we haven't seen from Laurie yet and I'm LOVING it!!

[@tb1826]

Emma’s goodies has a really good microwave cake recipe. You don’t use eggs. That’s why it tasted like cloud bread.

[@Ecmkayaking]

I watch the glowing in a toaster! It is fascinating 😂

[@ksicheneder]

I actually have a recipe for gingerbread in a crockpot that I've made before. The trick was using a coffee can for the batter, putting that in the crockpot, and covering it with a wet towel before putting the lid on.

[@ksicheneder]

Also, you two are so chaotic and I love it.

[@TheIcingArtist]

that honestly sounds amazing!!

[@marilynjohnson8529]

I made a rice cooker cake 20+ yrs ago. It took forever! And I had to tend to it bc it kept shutting off. And there actually are toaster bags to make hot sandwiches in the toaster. They caught on fire in my toaster! Glad you had success.

[@laniehrlich9271]

Laurie’s blind confidence during this one is so inspirational- especially with that cake in a pan flip 😂

[@heidicook2739]

Usually there are instructions to make a foil sling for baked goods in the crockpot. Lifts out much more easily.

[@dstooz]

[@Hundelsa]

I’ve eaten air fried almond cardamum cake made out of almond flour and it tasted fantastic.

[@MammaM1217]

I feel like the main difference between the slow cooker and rice maker were that the rice cooker was less convenient because she had to keep turning it back on. Yes the slow cooker took longer, but she didn't have to keep starting it again.

[@demonic-kawaii-cat1185]

I love your goofy energy it lifts my mood Everytime!!

[@tigerkitten8352]

Kevin .. I do that. I like watching them glow and seeing how long it takes for them to heat up and try to see if I can tell how the toast is toasting .........

[@shinimegami42]

When i was a kid my mom used to make quick breads like zucchini or banana bread in the slow cooker. She used an old coffee can for the batter (i think with foil over the top for condensation?) and poured water around it. Always turned out really well. But of course its a SLOW cooker so it took a few hours. Later on we found that they actually sold an insert just for baking in.

[@c0ldfrenchfries]

So excited for the video! You two just brighten my day!. =)

[@Clarky1951]

Fun video Laurie 🤭 Not sure I woulda done the toaster!!! Giant fire hazard there. My Mom in the 70’s baked cakes in the crockpot and the microwave all the time. My mom would use crockpot while doing other things. Not having to be tied down to the oven. I’ve used the microwave to “finish” a cake that wasn’t completely baked in the middle. And I make mug cakes in the microwave all the time. Chocolate cakes bake better in the micro than white. White cakes don’t come out with a very good texture. Too rubbery. But if you need some quick cake for cake pops/cakescicles, definitely a time saver. I I have baked cakes in my instant pot. But honestly, it takes the same amount of time in the oven. So not really worth it.

[@TheIcingArtist]

Ya DO NOT try the toaster lol BIG fire hazard! But all for the experiment. But I did really love the griddle as my go to over any other appliances for a snack cake/quick dessert!

[@Clarky1951]

@@TheIcingArtist Ya…sure the griddle works. But too much like a pancake. 1 minute mug cakes are fast, and tastes just like a cupcake…🥰🥰

[@valeriesultan1435]

I have done mug cakes many times in the microwave they actually turned good but only do it when I really want for me like piece of cake and yes some vanilla cake recipes do taste different on the microwave. Other flavors have come out delicious

Same Kevin same...watch the element it's so fun

There are recipes out there for making bread & cakes on the stove in a pan. A lot of them don't require flipping. You put the lid on & turn the stove to the very lowest setting or off & you let the residual heat finish it!

[@KismetandKarma]

The airfryer needs to be set just like an oven for temperature. It won't take as long, but the temp should be about the same. Air fryers are. Mini convection ovens.

[@samanthadean1083]

“How to make cake when you’re desperate!” Lol, this was way more successful than I thought!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@eb3yr]

I regularly do cakes in the microwave because I'm lazy. Turns out with chocolate cakes (so long as your ingredients are safe) you can slightly undercook it and get this really nice melty chocolately bit in the inside. Ofc you can put chocolate chunks inside instead, but that's more effort.

[@lizzykate93]

I've made cupcakes in an air fryer and mug cakes in the microwave but not the others. I'm surprised they all worked (except the dishwasher), even if they didn't always taste the best 😆

you can actually by toastie holders for the toaster, they are literally baking paper but sealed on 3 sides with the top open so you can put your sandwich in and toast it and then take the sandwich out. you can cook cakes and brownies in the microwave because of mug cake recipes. This video was a good idea though, I haven't seen anything like it

[@lilym7105]

my freshman year of college I made my bday cake in my rice cooker (the only appliance I had at the time). Took a long time, and it wasn't pretty, but it did the trick. used a box mix in two batches for two layers, and (with much effort) flipped each cake halfway through. Also taped down the "on" button so it wouldn't keep turning off XD def wouldn't suggest it, but gotta work with what you've got.

[@KYZ__1]

3:49 Don't worry, I do 3:52 I wasn't paying proper attention and then suddenly sat up in alarm thinking that was a laptop 🤣

[@zarzee8925]

Your rice cooker is shutting itself off because the temp exceeds the boiling point of water, which it thinks only happened because the water is absorbed into the rice therefore the rice is done. The eggs in the batter will cook at least lol.

[@EmilyEmilyEmily01]

Cooking the cake on the stovetop reminds me of my dad talking about his granddad. My Dad loved the memory of him making cakes- making super thin layers on the stove top and then each layer would have homemade chocolate frosting. My dad always wanted to try to make one and sadly I don't think he ever did but I need to give it a try. *I sound like one of those long intros to a recipe online lol

[@glenmiller1437]

When I was a kid, I had a babysitter who taught me how to make "Iron Cheese Sandwiches". Basically a grilled cheese sandwich, but you put the sandwich in a envelope of aluminum foil, and then put the iron on each side for a few minutes. It heated quickly and would come out amazing. If you didn't move the iron much, the browned bread would have the pattern of the iron on it (with the steam holes, etc) which was kind of a kick. The big bonus for a kid... there was no pan to wash. That said, cake in a dishwasher is silly. I've heard you can bake a cake in a box under a campfire. Try that. (I know you can boil water in a paper cup in a campfire. I've actually done that.)

[@traceymcdonald7949]

I often use cake/muffin mixes to make waffles... We top with powdered sugar or drizzle them in some icing warmed up in the microwave

[@libbymelton1567]

Okay, so I watched this a second time, because I didn't realize I had already watched it before...🙄 But maybe if you used some of the parchment sandwich bags for the toaster it might have worked better. They actually sell specifically made "grilled cheese bags" but I've never bought them.😊 And maybe the container that was used in the dishwasher should not have had the vent lid but a regular solid lid. I don't think that would help much but who knows...😊 Thanks for the videos and for the laughs!❤
