  • How do you like your brownies? Gooey? Cakey? We challenged chefs of three different levels - an amateur, a home cook and a professional chef - to make their versions of the brownie. And then we brought in a food scientist to review their work. Which brownie was the best?
    Check out the professional's recipe here on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/blog/bourbon-salt...

    • @liamcarneymusic
      @liamcarneymusic Před 5 lety +8

      I believe the main reason is because it's meant to be about you to try the recipes yourself and for you to try yourself. They show you how other people make their own type of recipes but it's purely based off of your tastes, not theirs. that's why some people like the level 2 baker than the level 3, that's just what they fine more appealing to them. The show, I believe, is not to show which one is better, but to point out to improve your baking and to try some other recipes that may suit you.
      sorry for rambling, this is what i think and i do try to look on the bright side and i recommend you to do the same, just to see a different perspective of the series. so thanks for reading (sorry for horrible grammar lol)

      Frictional If it’s meant to be for us to try the recipes ourselves, then they would actually list the ingredients/recipes. It is definitely an analysis, which would benefit from showing each chef trying the end results of the other two.
      They could even be in the same room as the food scientist. Everyone tries the brownies, food scientist says, “Okay, let’s break down what you did,” and starts explaining with commentary and questions from the three chefs. Way more interesting than just hearing, “Susan used store-bought cocoa powder while Pierre used chocolate made from scratch using cocoa beans that he harvested himself from the Columbian rainforest.”

    • @liamcarneymusic
      @liamcarneymusic Před 5 lety

      @@taiken64 I know I'm pretty late, but all in all it's for peoples enjoyment and how they want to do it. It's different, I learn something and it's always fun to watch people bake. I value others enjoyment over mine though Im still a strong believer on what i said earlier as to show how different people are different and how doing things longer (putting more effort to it) changes the result. I would say it's more of an experiment though many like it like that. your the judge on it. The "Level 4" chef puts the science to it to see on, mathematically, why it would taste better. Think of it like music, you listen to a bunch of songs by composers of 3 levels, they all would sound different and it's completely up to your taste. and then Music theory show you the math behind why it should sound good and such. But to the original question, it's not about the bakers, it's about you.
      I see where your coming from, and again it's all personal preference, everything we do is about our tastes, and it could be other reasons too, Epicurious could have tried it but it costed a lot of money, a design choice, maybe it wasn't interesting enough, anything really. I respect your opinion and i do understand. though who knows, this was a nice little debate. Again, just a different perspective. Cheers!

      Its really annoying because they’re probably not even trying to show off. It’s a show, there’s obviously some kind of script.

    I've made the pros recipe you have listed it's never come out nearly as thick as hers but no complaints because I've altered the recipe and they're the best brownies we've ever had. I'm doing an experiment right now trying a chocolate made in Miami vs what I've been using a chip I get from a local chocolate shop in Port Richey.

    Level 1 chef: I’m a level one chef
    Level 2 chef: I’m a level two chef
    Level 3 chef: personally I like to make the flour myself. I was also a cook for Marie Antoinette for 30 years.

      It’s Marie Antoinette. But I think she executed a few centuries ago though.
