Debunking Fake Cooking Videos 2020 | How To Cook That Ann Reardon

Feb 23, 2020
Welcome to How to Cook. I'm Ann Reardon and you asked me to make another

debunking

video. Now I thought it's a new year, a lot of the channels we were watching had some negative press last year so maybe this year they will have turned the page and be making good quality content... so I thought Just look at the new things they've put up this year and see how we do. The first video I watched was this one: 15 of the most creative pie crust designs. Now it seems to me that this is just a video replay of something I've seen before... let me go to their channel now, if you go to any channel, you can search the channel, so we'll search for 'pie'. ' and yeah, look, they uploaded this exact video in September 2018 and it had 12 million views, so they uploaded the same thing again, that's just amazing.

I mean, the algorithm shows people what they want to see, so people have to do it. I want to watch this and then upload it again and watch it again, right? Well, if we look at the comments the top comment with 90 likes says "see the thumbnail of a video and think it's new content to watch"... look at the video and think "it doesn't matter". So they're not impressed. Followed by the second comment with 42 likes: "no one gets tired of seeing the same thing" and then further down you have riffki saying: "I'm so bored of non-stop repetition, is there no creativity left?" Well, that's a good question for YouTube because it's their algorithm that promotes all this compilation, imitation and repetition, and their algorithm that keeps throwing it in people's faces.

The problem is I guess creativity takes time, it takes time to think of new things and develop new things... whereas if you can just copy someone else's material it's a lot quicker to do and in fact if you can just upload it again. your old content again, that's even faster again, so if they're going to reward that, that's basically what the YouTube platform is going to become. Next, many of you sent me this video and yes, you copied my recipe. BuzzFeed did it too, they copied it pretty much immediately after the original video appeared after I posted it.

What I think is funny about these is who invented them. I spent so much time experimenting with all the different methods trying to figure out how I could make this work and I finally got it to work in a way that I thought could be replicated by everyone else and then I had these sugar bowls and I was wondering what am I going to put in them to the final shots of the video and I only had some ice cream and some fruit in the fridge so I quickly threw it 🇦🇺 in the bowl and While I was editing I thought I wish I had something better so I could put the bowls in for the final shot and All these copycats put ice cream and fruit in the bowl exactly the same as I did.

They didn't even improve it...they didn't add any creativity to it, they just kept it the same. Okay, let's look at some real recipes. This one is so delicious, they have sweetened condensed milk in the microwave for 10 minutes and we have easy caramel! No. This is not going to work. I guarantee you this is not going to work. Well, we'll try it anyway. Do a little wrestling with sweetened condensed milk to remove the lid, tip it into the exact same jug they used in their video, and microwave it for 10 minutes! Why are

always a disaster?
Look, it's bubbling and boiling everywhere and I can hear it popping and banging and it still has five minutes left! I'm going to have to stop him there. I don't think another five minutes will improve the result. Oh, that's a burst of smoky steam. Now, because they copy each other, of course, Five Minute Crafts also has a sweetened condensed milk recipe, but theirs has a slight twist. If you look, they put their sweetened condensed milk in a bowl, but then they put that bowl inside a bowl of water and then they put it in the microwave for eight minutes and you get caramel and water that clearly aren't even hot because you can grab the bowl right away. from the microwave, but to be fair, we should also try this method, we have a bowl.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, put it in there well at least to keep my microwave clean and microwave it for eight minutes this time. Now, a water bath in a normal oven ensures that there is even heating and that is because the water itself does not exceed one hundred degrees and prevents the outside of the container that the food is in from getting too hot due to the oven because it's just It's like keeping that temperature constant, but microwaves heat very differently than a conventional oven, so I don't think it's going to have the same effect, but we'll just watch and see what happens.
No, that sweetened condensed milk is bubbling and running out of the container into the water... well, at least my microwave stays clean this time Hmm, I spoke too soon and I have to clean the entire microwave again. Now, after eight minutes we have burned the sweetened condensed milk. Now, believe it or not, you can make caramel using sweetened condensed milk in the microwave. I don't really like the taste of it, but in case you want to know how to make it, here's how to do it: First of all, you take a bowl that's big enough so it doesn't overflow, tip the sweetened condensed milk into the bowl. , put it in the microwave and microwave it for one minute.
Now take it out and stir it because the microwave heats very unevenly so it is very important to stir it thoroughly, then microwave it for 30 seconds this time and stir it. seconds and stir it and do it a bunch of times so as you can see it doesn't seem super easy or super quick to make caramel in the microwave anymore and it doesn't really go with the nice upbeat music 🎼 Moving on. Now to Blossom's "15 Lazy Girl Hacks That Really Work." How did he not react to the taste of ink in her mouth and why did she just let him drool all over her shirt as if she didn't know what was going on?
This reminds me of the time Link tried to consume edible printer ink. You know that the ink you use to print on fondant sheets goes on top of the cakes, so it's non-toxic, but it's not really supposed to be that way. he wanted to eat it in bulk but he ate some thinking it was okay to eat it... "Do you have anything?" Look, I think it's a normal reaction anyway, she takes the ink and effortlessly wipes it off her face and then she takes a shirt and puts it in a bowl of milk and the ink floats, you wash the shirt and she's like! new!
Well, what do you think? This actually works according to the title, so let's try it. I'll add some black ink to the shirt then I'll pour myself a bowl of milk and put the shirt in and I'll see the ink float up like magic and I can just put it on the back of the spoon and scoop it out and once I've removed all the floating ink. I can lift up the shirt and you can see it's still covered in ink. So, yes, some of the ink floated, but the rest is stuck to the shirt and doesn't come off even when you wash it. he.
Alexander sent me the following one, so delicious, thanks for sending it. He says to start the year off simply with these delicious 2-ingredient recipes. Now, first of all, the first recipe had three ingredients, but I'm going to skip that and let it slide. We'll move right on to the almond butter

cook

ies. You have almond butter, add an egg, scramble, put it on the trays and you make two ingredient almond butter

cook

ies. Interesting… can you see any problems with this recipe? I can see a problem right away. Well, what we're going to do is we're going to do them so you can see what happens.
So there are two different types of almond butter, there are some like this one that have multiple ingredients like extra malted vegetable oil and almonds contain only 23%, milk solids, sugar and many other things. In comparison, this is 100% almonds with nothing else added. Now the one in his video was to buy Wholesome Pantry and we know it because they showed it to us clearly and now they let me look for that brand because I can't get it here. ...it says it has two ingredients just almonds and sea salt so it's pretty much 100% almonds so it's like the macro so I'll use that one.
Add an egg to the jar that doesn't fit at all, right? Okay, I just took that egg out and got a new one and I'm going to put all that almond paste in the bowl and stir it into a bowl. I know you like to make it all seem simple by making it in the jar, but it's actually much easier to make it in a bowl. Stir it and it will have the same texture as theirs, which is why it looks the same so far. And then I'll put it back in the jar so I can take the photo that they took.
Then cross that with a fork and it's time to bake them. "Biscuits or cookies...they taste like sand." If you look up a recipe for almond butter cookies, you'll see that they typically contain three ingredients, not two. Scroll down to the ingredients here and they are supposed to have six tablespoons of sugar for every cup of almond butter, even then I imagine they would still be pretty dry. "Just wait...I want some water...yeah." Next in the same video, they have a Greek yogurt bread, so they have Greek yogurt and flour and they mix it in a food processor, then they roll out the dough and cut it a few.
Bake it in the oven a few times and watch it rise into a beautiful easy bread. I'll get back to the recipe in a minute, but did you notice the yogurt brand first? It was Wholesome Pantry again. Surely this video must be sponsored by two clear shots of products from the same brand that I haven't seen any disclosures for yet, but if I go to the end of the video it says "with ShopRite" and is that enough disclosure? (oops, spelling mistake 😣) "Hi, I'm Amber Lee, an attorney with the Federal Trade Commission. Tell people about your relationship with the brand along with your endorsement... put it at the beginning of the message and we'll overlay it so featured in the image...again "Be sure to put your disclosure where people can't miss it.
That's a completely different topic, so let's skip that one and get back to the recipe. I want to try this one. I'm going to buy some Greek yogurt. I'm not using healthy pantry because I don't have that brand here and this whole video has the hashtag "not sponsored" so we're going to put it in the food processor. So far it seems easy to shape it into a roll and give it a few cuts and put it on a tray and now bake it in the oven. For comparison purposes, I pre-made a regular bread dough that has yeast and flour, a little sugar so the yeast can feed on that, and a few other ingredients you normally have for making bread.
Now I'm just going to weigh out a piece that's exactly the same weight as the Greek yogurt bread so we can make a side by side. -Side comparison of how they are baked in the oven. I'll also give that one three cuts and now we can bake them. The one on the left is regular bread dough and the one on the right is Greek yogurt bread dough. The regular rises and expands as you can imagine as the yeast ferments the sugar and creates bubbles within the yogurt. You don't have yeast or know of any leavening agents and we didn't need it, so we haven't developed the gluten in the dough, so it doesn't rise much at all.
Now compare that to the one in your video, if we got to baking in the oven, it actually rose quite a bit for a dough that had a way of rising 🤔 let's take a look at what it actually looks like inside, if we give it a break. ...OMG, that's hard to break. It's not the texture of bread at all, it's more like a solid piece of, I don't know, dough, maybe. I'm not even sure how to describe this... okay, let's compare that one to the actual loaf of bread. Put it back together, now remember these are the same weight, this way it's the same as this one.
This one is light, airy and fluffy and this one is solid. Now, if I break this one in two, just break it in half so you can see the inside. It looks like bread, you can see there are air holes due to the bubbles made by the yeast and in comparison this other one has no bubbles it's just solid but let's get Dave to try this one too, he's a good sport 💕 "I can say This one it's already heavy, this is Lead Bread © this is heavy. Hmmmmmm, it's a little, I think it's meant to be like sourdough, but it's not really a bread texture, it's more of a playdough texture!
Probably not is meant to be eaten. I have many more recipes here, there are many more that I want to discuss with you, but to be honest, I have to catch a flight in a few hours. I haven't even started packing, it's 1:00 in the morning. The The rest of my family is sleeping in bed and I have to call it a day for today, but let me know in the comments if there are any other
