- Join Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make gourmet M&M's. M&M's are available in just about every color known to man, but there is one color that is objectively the best: green. Scientists have puzzled over this curiosity since the inception of M&M's in 1941. MIT Professor of Cognitive Sciences Dr. Bertrand Mathers has dedicated the entirety of his postdoctoral studies to this conundrum, labeling it the Green M&M Dilemma. With the dedicated assistance of researcher Loretta Marshall, Mathers has finally unveiled his ultimate theory on the subject. “After more than fifty years of sleepless nights, proposed and rejected ideas and quite a few cavities,” Dr. Mathers read from a lectern at an August 15, 2019 press conference, “My life’s work has finally reached its culmination. I have found the solution to the Green M&M Dilemma.” Dr. Mathers, never one to skimp on dramatics, spun around to face a chalkboard covered by a red velvet curtain. Pulling it aside, he revealed his grand solution: ‘The color green is the best color, so therefore green M&M’s are the best M&M’s.’ A stunned silence in the crowd was quickly following by a standing ovation lasting over five minutes. Finally, as the applause died down, Dr. Mathers, red-cheeked and clutching a bottle of celebratory champagne, added: “And now we begin our studies into why blue M&M’s are definitely the next best M&M’s!”

Her shirt shouldve been related to tempering chocolate 😂
Claire being comfortable with tempering chocolate is the character development I signed up for.
Hahaha so true! 😂🤣🤣
It felt like watching my child grow up ;-;
As a magic cooking Channel... She is just the best a kitchen can have. I would love to have her in my show 💖🎊🍹🎗🎉🎖👇🏻
Where the hell did you do that? Are you on crack?
So proud of you, claire!!!
claire: agitating the chocolate
chocolate: agitating claire
WHAT A CONCEPT
el park I love that!😂
Wow. Lmao
Mind blown
OMG😂😂
That feels like Deja vu 😂😂😂
I want Claire’s job, but only the first few minutes when she tries all the candy.
Those are the unpaid minutes
Lol😂. Same
I want Brad's job.
HAHAHAHA
So just go apply to be a good taster dude lol
“What is tempering chocolate?”
“Are you kidding?”
Y’all skating on VERY thin ice asking her that lol
*very thin icing
I am surprised that Claire's head did not spin!
And the ominous music that plays immediately afterward.
*"I'm glad it's not me"* -Chris
Evil Me: Just one episode where Chris does gourmet makes
I am totally all in favour of this!!!
As a magic cooking Channel... I totally agree with you, sis.Huge blessings everyone 🙌🏻🎊🍹🎗🎉🎖
Yes
Something where he has to temper chocolate
And he has to temper chocolate!
Video: First you temper chocolate
Claire: *say sike right now*
It is spelled PSYCH.
User User not for the meme
I just feel she makes tempering chocolate so much harder than it needs to be... melt chocolate, seed the molten chocolate with chocolate callets until you're at the right temperature, done perfectly tempered chocolate. Why does it work? Because callets already have the required crystals in them and they multiply in the chocolate you add them to.
@@firstenforemost that's the spelling for the latin root meaning mind. Sike is a sort of slang for "just joking".
@@s.colins2050 The slang for "just joking" is "psych," not "sike." As in, "I just psyched you out." It has always been "psych," but morons on the Internet who can't spell and don't know what words mean just spell it as "sike" because they're morons. It's the same reason why "yea" has turned into "yay," "whoa" has become "woah," and "etc" is often written as "ect." Morons on the Internet who can't spell.
Rhoda showing up with her bag full of goodies is so cute.
She always shows up, helps, does what nobody wants to do and then magically disappears, she is the BA fairy.
@@gene9230 So basically an unpaid intern
the amount of peanut she puts in the oven vs the amount of actual peanut m&m she has at the end its the best part
Lmfao right!!
honestly me cooking pasta lmao
@@samuelthiex LOLOLOL this just literally happened to me...and im so happy you posted this and I read it just now. :)
on april fools release an episode where you make something but have everyone try the original and pretend you made it
THIS
Yep!😊
Yesss! Genius!
aprik fools is a whole 2 years away
Human Being basically she pretends to make something, for example, she try’s to make an oreo, but because it would be April fools, she would give them a real Oreo and pretend she made it herself. Lol hope it makes sense
You know it’s a hard episode when tempering chocolate is the easiest part
I slightly freaked out when Claire put her hands in 115 degree water, then I realized she's talking about Fahrenheit and not Celcius..
ohhhhhhhh you know what I didn’t realise and I was so confused and tbh thought she was superhuman (she totally is) but damn that makes more sense 😭
Omg, I use Fahrenheit so didn't even consider this! Thank you for sharing, I had a great giggle!
Water can't reach 115 C at that atmospheric pressure and remain a liquid. It would be water vapor at that temp.
polaroidprincess Remember that water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
pokechatter water boils at 100 Celsius at sea level. At different altitudes, it boils at different temperatures.
I love how Brad always looks like he's perpetually on his way to go drink a Bud Light Lime.
Jskdjdjff that’s the best ever description of brad thank you
Literally the BEST comment ever.
When did u see that
Best comment...I agree ..and also...bud light lime is delicious lol
Oddly specific 😂
Claire:
"I would like to add that it's a month old and it still taste good! "
Chris:
" ಠ_ಠ what? "
lmao
Hahahahaha
😂😂😂
37:45
I think somewhere along the way everyone forgot that this was suppose to be about making a better version of whatever they are working with and not trying to replicate it exactly.
Uh Huh T H A N K Y O U. They’re supposed to be GOURMET, not exact copies.
I noticed this so long ago too
I think its gourmet because there are no artificial flavors and colors i believes thats what they meant.
Yeah, the whole time I'm thinking that she could have made something similar but much better if she didn't try to replicate it exactly
to be fair, 30 day break. I love Claire, she just gets too into the replication sometimes, fondu some peanuts and add some candy coating and it will beat an m and m, I know she can do it she just got a little lost one this one, still love you Claire.
I love that she tried the Thai coconut, hated it, and immediately knew she had to have everyone else try it too
Claire: Here try one
Brad: I'm okay
Claire: Just try one
Brad: I know how they taste
Claire: jUsT tRy OnE bRaD
Brad: It's cool I'm good
Chris and Claire: BRAD JUST EAT ONE
Liliana Gartner what part was this?
Alejandro Bautista 2:05
Wwe
”then the chocolate goes through tempering”
*chris sips tea in background*
*Chris sniffs then sips said tea*
Drue Ashton in the distance, sirens
Drue Ashton 6:28
I love how Rhoda always swoops in and saves the day lol
ikr
Take a break from sweets and make some gourmet hot pockets!
Hell yeah!
she’s a pastry chef
@@itsrxbin Last time i checked, hot pockets were savory pastries. Also, Claire has made instant ramen on this show before, which is a lot further from being a pastry than hot pockets.
I shudder at the thought.
I wanted her to try to get jerry Seinfeld on for the Pop Tarts and Jim Gaffigan for the Hot Pockets. They are both New Yorkers too.
Shout out to Rhoda. She is always so helpful and great
I hope Rhoda also has a Rhoda waiting in the wings to help her out
I want to see her do whole episode with Claire remaking something gourmet.
gabbi suggesting to all blow together to cool down the sugar is so damn precious i can barely type
Gabbi is the angel that Clare needs in like every single episode
@@Amaya_Doll04 also rhoda to keep her sanity intact.
*Gaby
^I only know because it’s spelt the same as mine lol
@@stephenpate2102 Because she's the dishwasher, they're not known for comedy.
Brondelle Cummins she’s not the dishwasher i think she’s the kitchen manager lol
I just witnessed one of the most real forms of peer pressure.
2:04
Brad: I'm okay thanks
Literally everyone in the room: YOU HAVE TO EAT ONE!!!!!
"What's that like 4 carat?" I love Brad 😂
I died when he said that lolllll
I think the one thing that tends to get forgotten is actually making it gourmet (better), it doesnt need to be a visual replica of the entire product but has the essence of the original and tastes better. Really like the series and how claire is kinda a goofball, just wish it the item was more reinvented to become gourmet
30% of the taste is done with the eyes.... or somthing.
Is anyone else grateful to Rhoda for looking after Claire and buying her presents? I really think we need a support group for Claire!
MissMoon111 that’s literally her job.
heck yea!
Gourmet cinnamon toast crunch & gourmet kinder egg.
Jireh horrach kinder is gourmet get outta here 🤣😝
@@baileyphillips608 Not to mention technically illegal in the US. 😆😅
Next Episode - a two part episode with the first involving Claire smuggling Kinder Eggs
ThisisOscar Put 👏Clair 👏 on 👏 a 👏 plane 👏
Make homemade teddy grahams or sour patch kids. Or for something savoury make the little ritz cheddar sandwich bites
I would do terrible things to get a gourmet recipe for that delicious delicious fake cheese
You had me on board until I read Ritz 🧀🚮
Gourmet Ritz Bits Sandwiches!
Emily Cooper combos yeeeessssss
Mini m&m’s will always be my #1. I remember as a child inhaling the plastic tube mini m&m’s and being so sad when I finished them too quickly.
I know they’re so good!
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAME
theyre SO GOOD
YES. They hit different then the normal ones!
Yes. They are the superior one.
I really appreciate how much effort is put into this and how everyone seems to help each other
"we're really innovating here"
actually means:
"we're really destroying alot of kitchen equipment for this show"
Have you guys thought about making oatmeal creme pies? I'd love to see Claire's take, and it might be a good break from all the headaches for her.
I feel like the margin of Improvement could be MASSIVE. I mean homemade oatmeal cookies, homemade cream filling...couldn't be better
She just had a break with those stix things
I think a cream pie would be great for Claire 😊
I think lil Debbie cream pies should be ice cream.
This is an awesome idea! I remember oatmeal creme pies as delicious when I was a kid, but definitely not as good as an adult. Haha
I just love how Brad is like the Dad of the test kitchen
He is Daddy material for sure.
Dad Brad's Tips for Ladies
I mean, he was the Test Kitchen Manager, so it's kind of in the job description
“BRAD HOW DO I USE THE (insert a random kitchen gadget)?”
okay so Rhoda is definitely my favorite 😂 She's like the fairy-godmother who provides you with anything you need ✨
Comet Ali if you are talking about the spanish old woman, she is the hottest girl in the kitchen hands down
I can't believe the level of PTSD Claire is working through with these videos to have completely blocked out skittles, she forgot about the pastillage she used for those!
Daniela Navarro right, like shouldn’t she have done the padtillage again?
I think the cracking pattern of m and ms are diffenrent than skittles tho? maybe?
i’m not sure how much Rhoda makes but, she deserves a raise.
I love this series but I feel like more and more Claire is just focused on recreating them exactly instead of making a gourmet version, it doesn't matter if they are not identical what matters should be an improvement in taste
Chill exactly!!!!!
Same!!
Could just adding the food coloring to the royal icing make it smoother? And avoid the shellac?
Gourmet versions should both look and taste just like what they're trying to recreate, just elevated. None of her makes have looked exactly the same, but they have to have the same principle. This episode was bad because she was so focused on the coating being perfect, but that could just be her and how she works.
+1
As long as something is recognizable as a “gourmet” version of a common thing, I think that should be the goal. Everything else is just trying to improve on the flavor because you don’t have to make something with a shelf life.
She should have dyed royal icing the colours of the m and m’s and then continuously coating meaning she would get a even coat, a nice shine and a great colour
3:17 "it's gonna be fine" sees 40 minute video, oh Clair my poor child
When its more than 31 min, you know claire is either tempering chocolate or ran into a issue. 🤦♀️🤦♀️😂 poor Claire
My favorite part is waiting to check the length of the video until after she says it will be easy.
(
25:49
Test 21:
- Doing this... a lot
Whoever edits these videos is legendary.
37:08 Chris: “what did they use? A food grade shellac?”
Claire: 👀 *contemplating her response*
"Send the chocolate through tempering"
*Chris has entered the chat*
Is no one gonna talk about Brads A1 joke in the beginning
“What is that like, 4 karat?”
🤣🤣
that was god tier
Here's how you make gourmet peanut M&Ms: You don't.
I was thinking this the entire time. Too much work.
I saw the 40 minute runtime and instantly felt the dismay she must have gone through.
Theo Nunez lol
@@MsJellyBellyLove Then again that's true for every episode of the series. Still great to watch. :D
Claire: I would just like to add, it’s a month old!
Chris: 😳... what?...
Clair: The m&m’s
Chris: Oh!😌
I want to see some more savory episodes! I was just snacking on some BUGLES and wondering how they are made, given their unique shape, and immediately thought CLAIRE WOULD FIGURE IT OUT! ❤️
Abbey Thompson bugles are actually less complicated than you think! The corn meal dough is kind of extruded long thin-ish sheets, then two sheets are stacked, then they’re cut into triangles. The cutting machine also pushes the two halves together along the edges, then they’re “puffed” like a rice cake by putting it in an oven. :)
@@princessaria That makes perfect sense! I had a feeling that would be the case, because of the way some of them puff out to a proper cone shape while others look like they collapse back in on themselves... I still think it would be a fun episode to see Claire try and replicate them!
Abbey Thompson I think so too! I want to see her tackle some savory treats as well.
@Agnes I just tried the Churro flavor ones today on a whim and they are incredibly good!
I love how she toasted a HUGE pan of peanuts as if she would need that many :-)
Thats what I would call snack time XD
Loved Chris Morocco just calmly sitting in the background while Brad drills into a salad spinner
Just me in 2023 wishing this were still a thing.
I’m mad that when brad said “what is that 4 karat?” Claire didn’t say, “no, one peanut”
“What is tempering?”
Claire: **war flashbacks**
Brad: Claire what r u seeing?
Claire: hold on I can’t tell.
Brad: nothing?.... _God_ ?
Can we all take a moment to appreciate whoever writes the descriptions for these videos
I would love to see a gourmet Gold Fish crackers.
omg YES
Kinder eggs or Kinder bueno should be next to be made! :) I would really be happy to see it 😊
Omg kinder bueno is so fkn good. The white chocolate as well as the milk chocolate ones are the. fkn. best.
@@itpaynesme kinder bueno is such a delightful treat and tbh I'm really curious how Claire would make those 😊
marina kasparov you’re so right 🤤 and the white ones especially
You can buy the bueno filling now at shops. But from scratch I'd have no idea.
@@chrism45 REALLY? OH I NEED THAT
The song, “Claire’s Despair: the tempered chocolate lament” was only 50 seconds long... an eternity in heartache.
no one:
absolutely no one:
brad: casually brings out CPU fans in the kitchen
Didn't see that coming.
Please BA fix the audio issues! It's really jarring with the ads and ending part blasting much louder than speech!
Yes, the audio is really low.
I think it’s a YT problem. Someone said they noticed it on a bunch of videos
I think it definitely is a yt issue. I was watching videos streaming to my tv last night and had to have it turned to 100 because all the videos were so quiet. Weird.
I usually watch these on my mobile device and even on this one I dont notice any audio difference between that and the ads
@@matilda6851 I've only seen it on videos by this channel. Likely it's an editing department issue since TH-cam wouldn't be able to separately raise or lower audio tracks, but it'd all either be very quiet or very loud
4:51 “what is that, like four carrot?”
“no, it’s one peanut”
This is my first post EVER on TH-cam, so that has to tell you how much I love Claire and this Gourmet Makes thing. Claire is my new spirit animal. Also, perfect series for quarantine.
“So the visuals not 100% there big frickin deal”
-me when I catfish you
You're cute. What are you talking about?
catfishing ASMR
@@uzairkhokhar4918 I feel like you're missing a key component of what catfishing is.
Who else just religiously watch Claire do these but never do this headache themselves?
This one, in particular, is a lot of work for the return on investment. Sure, I'm curious about the blend of flavors she crafted, but...dang, just buy a ~$1.00USD pack at the store, saves a lotta headache! Lol
Who is claire
@@HattieMcDanielonaMoon a restoraunt
I think 90% of the people who whatch these or any other youtube cooking or otherwhise actually do the thing. You are not special.
everyone
Rhoda is just the biggest sweetheart I can’t!! Every time she comes on screen you can tell just looking at her face she’s ready to do anything to help Claire
Claire: happy june everyone. (video released in September lol)
Matt Kwikest she did take a month break in June until July.
Mitch
But still that’s a long time..
Don't worry Bon Apetit - you'll master sound mixing in a future episode.
🤣🤣🤣
Just came here to say something like this. I feel like there's and actual drum kit behind me and I can barely hear her talking. It's like sitting at the table right next to the stage at a weird semi successful mom and pop restaurant.
yes this is not birdman
If Claire can temper chocolate, anyone can do anything!
😂😂😂 those drums tho
C: Where did you get that?
B: I bought it.
LMAO DUH!
Brad: Claire you got that?
Claire: *turns around like an ashamed goblin*
ok but claire tried so many different techniques, she derserves all the things that make her happy. ❤️
I love how they show Claire struggling to put all the initial display snacks to another counter on the daily now.
Claire should make Zebra Cakes! Those were my favorite growing up!
Or cosmic brownies
so nostalgic!
You have to mix the coloring with sugar glaze to make the coating. powder sugar, drops of water, color. Put in a bowl and roll around continuously until dry.
Bean boozled jelly beans. I just want to see how you would make gross tasting jelly beans
I wouldn't wanna see that because the extracts for flavorings that she uses are mostly homemade so... Stinky socks? Rotten eggs? 🤢😂
Zoha Samdani wouldnt that be the funny part 🤣 shed have to get really creative for that one 🤣🤣
Boil socks
hopefully if she does do any jelly belly products (oh please, I'd like to find jelly beans that good that didn't fund shutting down same sex marriage) she'll find that she needs to flavor not just the shell like most jelly beans, but the inner too.
@@teejaynafiejay2518 literally what I was boutta say... Or put the socks in a dehydrator crush them into a powder and...
I think there should be a series where Claire has redos for episodes like this so she can take what she's learned and make a better product.
Can we just appreciate how cute GABY is in this video 💖💕
I keep wanting to be able to travel back in time and shout "carnuba wax!" for the sugar shell stage.
the devil works hard but claire works harder
I wish I could see Claire make Little Debbie’s Zebra Cakes! She could probably make them delicious
4:40 "where did you get it?"
"...I bought it"
Nothing makes me happier than seeing Claire make sweets
Saaame
“Claire what are you seein?” “Nothing?” “GOD??”
Seeing Brad without his cap made me realize he is the real life Luke from Gilmore girls hahaha
Oh my god, yes!! 🤯🤯
Omg soo true. Why did it take Long for me to realize???
20:47 brads “alright dan” kills me everyyyy timeeee
I wonder if the pastillage shell from skittles would have worked?
Edit: I need to know if Claire watches GBBO
Yeah that's what I thought
thats exactly my thinking too
My same thoughts!
Yes, I don't know why didn't she do that.
damn someone was faster than me but yes, that is what i thought, that technique would have come in handy here
Claire: Hey Brad, can you hand me a rolling pin real quick?
Brad: Chhhouw!
Claire: That means yes.
When Claire said, "I'm gonna kill myself" I felt that 😩✌
Chefs try to make Latte Art!! ☕️ That would be such a fun video and a little different! And they already have an espresso machine!
That might be one of the Molly Baz videos where she learns a new cooking form. She probably already knows how to do latte art though...
Something tells me it would be just as stupid as them doing the cutting challenge last week
Claire's manicure is so lovely. (It's currently May 2020, so seeing a professional manicure feels nostalgic and special.)
Audio editing and mastering should be as important as video but this sounds like no effort has been made in relation to the audio at all with different levels throughout, very poor, a shame as i enjoy the content.
I'm so glad that everyone came to the correct conclusion that Peanut is the best kind.
I’m ready for Claire to make sour candies! Maybe Gourmet Makes Crybabies?
Sour gummy worms would probably be a lot easier to start with
How dare you. Sour patch kids!
I was actually going to say Warheads first 😭
@@rhaec erin:"but that is not vegan!"
@@tri-angel Sour gummy worms would be pretty basic since there are hundreds of recipes for gummy worms + a sour coating
Rhoda is always so supportive and helpful and nice 😭😭 We love Rhoda.
PLEASE do Nerds candy! Bc it's very hard to find in Europe 😭
OMG YES
if u r in ireland and u hav a home bargains there there are normally some nerds bangin about
Elena Elias i live in Finland and theyre super hard to find here lol some stores have them for a limited amount of time and only like 1 flavour
Pretty easy to find in the UK but to be fair most American sweets are imported over here
@Elena Elias Α αλήθεια; Δεν τα έχω δει πουθενά εδώ.
Who’s here after Emma’s podcast
Me : I’ve to wake up super early tomorrow
Also me : oh hell yeah I can watch 40 min vid
Cannot believe it i watchef 40 min vidéo it was so quick
Same lol
@Ave L yes i've or i have
me [waking up early to watch a 40 min vid]:
I’m so stressed over why they didn’t just buy a $20 children’s rock tumbler
could have used a kids toy cement mixer truck haha
i was thinking of a bingo machine.. she could have covered all the big openings somehow and put the m&m's into something smaller and then put that into the bingo machine.
Emmu Matson she likes destroying kitchen equipment
"What is tempering chocolate?"
*ptsd flashback starts*
I'm suprised she didnt try the pastillage thing she used for skittles? That seems like it would have made a better shell
And the ending "an easier way" xD dying now
Yess! I thought she would approach it like the skittles..
I've been thinking that the whole video! She didn't even bring up the idea, what the hell?!
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that lol
yeah i thought that as soon as i clicked on this
idk i think it's cause the candy coating of a skittle doesn't shatter like it does for an m&m
1:45 I love this quote: "this one's like coconut bubble bath when you accidentally lick a bubble."
Me: Claire’s molded chocolate(various) and made a candy shell(in skittles) It shouldn’t be too hard
Video: 40 mins long
*surprised pikachu face*
Ya know what I love how y’all go out of your ways to recreate famous snacks, candies and food seriously it’s awesome
