God I was screaming when he put the bowl in the microwave SEVERAL TIMES!!! And then the butter! Oh the butter! Jail for Alex. Jail for him for a thousand years
A microwave will only cause metal to spark if there's a small gap between pieces of metal, like the tines of a fork. Microwaving a metal bowl, or a metal spoon in a glass bowl, won't hurt anything. It's just easier to say no metal than to try to explain what can and can't be microwaved on a warning label.
His cooking videos are asking for trouble! A kid sees this guy putting a metal bowl in a microwave, something any adult idiot would know better than to do, and what... Oh yeah, it shorts out? A fire? A home burned down? A child burned? Feel like being responsible? And btw, you can't eat raw flour because of bugs.
I'm bad at cooking and an idiot but even I know not to put metal in the microwave lmao. But we all start somewhere. Equal parts hilarious and anxiety-inducing. Good video
"I always wanted to do this as a kid, but my mom wouldn't let me" famous last words...reminds me of the time Angry Grandpa (RIP) baked chocolate chip cookies for Christmas and he did the same thing you did 😂. The reason your mom wouldn't let you is because pure vanilla extract has a minimum of 35 percent alcohol, the same proof as Captain Morgan rum! Vanilla extract is made by soaking cured vanilla pods in pure alcohol for several days at cool temperatures. The pods are dark brown, nearly black, and this translates into the final color of the vanilla extract.
Cooking gets easier n faster the more u do it. That said ive not seen it look so difficult before. American houses always look so big, so much space, im jealous
Well, not everyone has kitchens that big. It’s not only Americans. All who can afford it, and there are different levels of expense, can get a nice, roomy kitchen, almost or like that. For many years a friend, lived in an apartment that was not as big, as the house in this video, but the kitchen was definitely roomier than her new place, part of a house, she rents. Both are newer kitchens, aesthetically pleasing designs, but it was mainly the layout of the living room area been part of it, that also helped. And open concept, not so many dividing walls. Her new place separated a small living room area from the dining area. All together, open concept, common living areas, make it roomier, too.
I live in an average house for the north of uk, 32 other houses can see into my small rear garden, same at the front. We are just really crammed in over here. Yet there is loads of land, unfarmed fields ( not nature habitat). We just arnt allowed to live on it.
@@nwuk1983, Yeah, UK, usually the average houses look small inside, everything separated by walls. If the weather wasn’t like it is, I would, say spend more time outside, your nature is beautiful, bigger home is not truly best. Gabie, the wife of Josh of KoreanEnglishman & Jolly, she has her own channel, too. They show how beautiful it is. Places in England. But only works for people who like spending time outside, in spite of the weather. But it is possible to try to enjoy it more, weather permitting.
Ah yes, putting metal in the microwave...Alex is probably the kind of guy to attempt to call 911 on the microwave too! But seriously, DON'T DO THAT! While the MythBusters have shown putting metal in a microwave won't cause a fire every time, it still CAN! Metal is bad at absorbing microwaves, since metal doesn’t contain any water, it has no way to effectively use those microwaves. Without something to efficiently absorb the energy this attraction produces (i.e., food), the metal transfers it to whatever’s nearby, namely, the internal circuitry of your oven, resulting in overheating and possibly fire. The thinner and sharper your metal is, the more dangerous it is to stick it (alone) into your microwave
"Why do people enjoy doing this" not everyone has the intuition to do things wrong the worst way possible. Although I must say, edible cookie dought is a good choise as you dont need to worry about it turning out right unlike any baked good
Cooking is basically alchemy! It’s really fun when you get the hang of it. Just remember to always go through all the recipes before starting the process. They turned out looking really good
I laughed so hard watching this video that my cat ran over and put her paws on my chest and was sniffing my mouth. She was convinced I was having some kind of medical episode.
next time use room temp butter and cream your butter and sugar together first! Sugar is considered a wet ingredient in baking along with butter, flour is added with your dry ingredients! I hope this helps. :) I recently graduated culinary school and I love your willingness to try new recipes and experiment.
Alex, for the love of... everything good, please take a cooking class! Some grocery stores and community centers even offer them for free for young people who don't know how to do it! If you don't have an espresso machine already, I would recommen you use a hand press for your drinks. They're like 50$ and all you need are the instructions and a little arm strenght to use one! I know I love mine! EDIT: To be clear, I say that with love because I love your videos and want to see you do more!
I worked as a baker for a few years and have always baked stuff at home from scratch- anytime I watch people bake who are not "bakers", I realize how much of my knowledge I take for granted.
4:50 That's exactly how I describe cooking and why I love it! Cooking can be very hard and frustrating in the beginning, but the more you practice, the better you get and soon you'll be able to improvise with whatever ingredients you have laying around.
Ok I was physically laughing when you: 1. Drank the vanilla extract (but more for the fact that it took you til the ripe age of 23 to try it) 2. Dropped the tortillas on the floor immediately 3. Not only tossed the tortillas all over the house, but developed an improved technique of doing so
This was an immensely triggering but fun video. Every time the bowl went in the microwave my blood pressure skyrocketed. 10/10 better than any rollercoaster
this was super interesting to watch because I was a chef for 18years and to see some one cook who has never really done it is interesting, heaps of little things I take for common knowledge was missed but good none the less. I would watch more of these next time warm your butter up or at least dice it before hand then its easier to mix.
* put a piece of fresh bread in your brown sugar for a day ; it will help balance humidity. sounds weird but it helps. If the brown sugar is too wet/ humid, let the bread dry out (not toast it).. __________ soften your buttter first.. always cream butter & sugar , add liquids, then flour.. (been cooking /baking since I was 10. 40 years) = you can do this. :) -pan: put a glass or metal pan in the fridge or freezer first for a little while; 15 min.. then grease the pan.. the room temperature butter or oil will stay on the sides of the pan better. see if anyone dips the corn tortilla in some sugar water first, then oil; may keep them slightly supple. `just something I'd do . great food video. -you're learning & it's great to watch :)
@@GoHerping yeah the corn tortillas definitely weren't it. They're great for savory food (like enchiladas) but not so much for sweet. Flour ones if you decide to try again! Also, they say try frying them but.... that's kind of difficult and very messy and the hot oil can be dangerous. I'd look into alternatives to frying. You could probably find a cookie dough cannoli recipe pretty easily! Apparently pre-made cannoli shells are a thing.
when i learned how much you were spending on doordash i did judge you but i am a doordash driver and after watching this i'm just shocked and really proud you've survived this long. happy belated birthday
I'm so confused about the metal bowl. I put a china plate in the microwave once that had a tiny metal trim apparently. It was like a fireworks show... How did the bowl do nothing??
When he said "Okay now I'm going to make the enchiladas" I was like whoa... Okay he seems really confident making such a hard meal when he's struggling with simple tacos in the last one but awesome, character growth?" And then.... I watched him put the cookie batter in the tortilla.... And my friend FaceTimed me in that exact second and I had the most confused/horrified look on my face 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao. This was great. Next time let the butter soften, mix with brown sugar and vanilla till smooth, then add flour. Also pan frying in some oil may have worked better then oven, if you do that don’t microwave the tortilla, that’s where the hardness came from.
I’ll add to this that if you do use the oven for something, don’t constantly open the door because it lets all the heat out and can cause things to not reach the right temperature
well you're not really supposed to eat such sweet things in large quantities lol when I make cookie dough I can only eat a few spoons of it at a time, or else it makes my stomach hurt😂
This was fr me when one day my interior design teacher in HS decided we would have a day in the home ec kitchen (she also taught that class) and made us bake cookies to “learn color theory” 💀 didn’t help I was the only one in that class that didn’t also take home ec. Also used popcorn butter flavoring instead of vanilla extract too it actually wasn’t that bad I make it every year now lol
not really, it was an optional course you could take at my high school tho. its either offered as something you COULD do or not at all. also i should mention my school is in an middle to upple middle class area. poorer schools probably dont even give kids the option
ecoli and other bacteria can get to the grain while it's in the field or being milled. softened butter definitely much easier. definitely don't eat straight extracts, that's why they are extracts and you're only supposed to put a small amount. also, I used to make edible cookie dough all the time🤤😂
Some cooking tips for alex:
#1 Don't put metal in the microwave
2. Your butter should be soft first
3 don't put metal in the microwave
God I was screaming when he put the bowl in the microwave SEVERAL TIMES!!! And then the butter! Oh the butter! Jail for Alex. Jail for him for a thousand years
Also FOR THE LOVE OF GOD don’t put metal in the microwave! 😂
Those metal bowls are fine in the microwave.
I think there are only certain types of metal that you shouldn't microwave
@@brainless0000 and these are one of them.
Bro really put a metal bowl in the microwave 💀
I was confused why it didn't spark?
SAME 🫠🫠🫠 I was like this isn’t real? Oh fuck oh fuck

This was stunningly entertaining even with my slightly horrified expression throughout! Would love more cooking videos
I can do that >.>
@@GoHerping We all think he should eat out less. And if his cooking videos make money he certainly will make them. Seems like a win win.

He has hundred of $$$$$ worth of food in his refrigerator
Omg I lost it when you tried to mix the hard butter 🧈 with the mixer and flour was going everywhere. 😂😂
Yall he's learning, leave him alone 😭😭 don't discourage him or he'll go back to doordash! YOU GOT THIS ALEX!!

@GoHerping boi if you dont, I'm talking about ordering food through doordash instead of cooking your own food. Let me defend you damn it 😤 🤌🏻

Pure chaos and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you as always for the content. Maybe just keep Doordash in business 😂

@GoHerping u need some proteins brother ;)
@@M_u_t_e96024 And some vegetables. This was so unhealthy.
I would love for this to be a series. secondly, what place was this being ordered from?
I laughed so hard watching this video that my cat ran over and put her paws on my chest and was sniffing my mouth. She was convinced I was having some kind of medical episode.

Brother did you just drink vanilla extract raw and make lighting in the microwave. Truly a spectacular to see

Or you can microwave your butter just a few seconds, not in a metal bowl!

Use flour tortillas and heat them in a pan. Then wrap them around the cookie so only the tortillas are hot. Not the filling

I have no idea why this popped up in my feed. But this was so freaking funny. I needed this madness in my life right now. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm just so curious how someone made it to adulthood with this little kitchen knowledge
I'm honestly amazed you survived infancy.
Mr Alex : " here feel " brings bowl of flour closer to the camera.
Me: attempts to sniff but smells coffee.

Is that a metal bowl you are putting in the microwave?
Glad you've overcame your addiction, wishing you an easy sobriety this year.
my stress at the metal in the microwave was intense
Love your vids!! Always be here for ya
Fun fact that's the sell by date. It's not expired. May vary by company tho.
Thank you for this treat brother
I'm not sure if you're trying to re-create Tijuana Flats' cookie dough flautas, but 😂try frying flour shells next time
thats what it is!!!!!!!!! i was looking a torero's menu and got the restaurants mixed up. I didn't realize it was flats, not enchiladas.

Did you just microwave a metal bowl 😂 and the butter hahaha I love it. Lastly what I this recipe lol DO MORE COOKING VIDEOS 🤣
Glad you're learning to cook at home! It's a rewarding skill that more people should learn.
my soul left my body when u put that bowl in the microwave 💀
The moment you dumped that stick of butter in the bowl... I don't even know how to describe the feeling. It wasn't good, Alex. 😂
Best variety channel by far
i can't tell if its the first time he put that bowl in the microwave or if it's a frequent occurrence.
no metal bowls in the microwave ... unless you want to burn your house down. it will short out your microwave.
it wasnt the metal bowl for me but the straight shot of vanilla extract. the moment he held it up to his nose i knew what disaster was coming
When I lived in my home town of Madison WI there was a restaurant that made cookie dough egg rolls.
Omg you put a metal bowl in the microwave 😅
You’d probably love cannolis if you like these. Our Wawa has cannoli dip and chips by the premade food section.

At this point, Alex is still alive by the grace of God
This was about as chaotic as I expected.
More of these videos pls! And the delivery thing. This reminds me of watching trisha paytas learning to cook. Brings me back 😆
Hey!! Love the chaos in this 😂🖤
Hands down my favorite video of yours. Fucking unhinged
Lmao. This was great. Next time let the butter soften, mix with brown sugar and vanilla till smooth, then add flour. Also pan frying in some oil may have worked better then oven, if you do that don’t microwave the tortilla, that’s where the hardness came from.
I’ll add to this that if you do use the oven for something, don’t constantly open the door because it lets all the heat out and can cause things to not reach the right temperature
That was terrifying! 🤣Hope your tummy feels better.
Someone get this child some supervision in the kitchen 🤣he's eating plain flour, drinking vanilla extract and microwaving metal
man how do you manage to put metal in the micro wave
Alex, look into meal plans. That might be a good way to go for you.
I'm very proud of you for trying Alex but please DO NOT put a metal bowl in the microwave 💀 Very fun video tho and I'd love to see more of these!
Of all the things you choose edible cookie dough 🤣🤣🤣just make the damn cookies
He really lets the impulse thoughts win imagine seeing your neighbor outside throwing tortillias like a frizbee
THE METAL BOWL IN THE MICROWAVE KILLED ME NOOOO
I thought putting metal, like the bowl, in the microwave will break it?
Did this man actually put a full on metal bowl in the microwave? Alex, how tf are you still alive?!
well you're not really supposed to eat such sweet things in large quantities lol when I make cookie dough I can only eat a few spoons of it at a time, or else it makes my stomach hurt😂
Everyone's giving you shit for metal in the microwave, but I'm losing it that you took a shot of vanilla. 😂
when he went behind us to cut it i thought he was gonna feed us but he didnt 😔 maybe for the better tho
well, you got to feel the flour
I love how Alex has replied to every single comment that isn't about the metal in the microwave
I just stared in abject horror as my man put the metal bowl in the microwave and then dropped cold butter in the mixing bowl. Yet I am proud.
Entertaining video Alex. Always enjoy your content. 😂
Guess he found out why his mom didn't let him drink the vanilla😭😂
This was fr me when one day my interior design teacher in HS decided we would have a day in the home ec kitchen (she also taught that class) and made us bake cookies to “learn color theory” 💀 didn’t help I was the only one in that class that didn’t also take home ec.

That's why your mom didn't let you (taste it out of the bottle).
You're too funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Was it a crepe instead of a corn tortilla??
Take a shot every time Alex says “okay”
Also, genuine question. I am swedish, do people in america not learn how to cook in school?
It's an optional class only a few people take, and how useful that class is varies a lot.
not really, it was an optional course you could take at my high school tho.
its either offered as something you COULD do or not at all.
also i should mention my school is in an middle to upple middle class area. poorer schools probably dont even give kids the option
My school didn't have anything cooking or food related
idk if theres one near you but tijuana flats has fried cookie dough flautas
"Am I doing something wrong?"
Yea, you're putting a METAL bowl in the microwave 💀
i love the cooking videos v relatable for me. I can cook some things just dont enjoy it really
It'd probably taste better if you used crepes instead of tortillas right?
oooooooooooh
Quality content, love you bro.
thanks :D
ecoli and other bacteria can get to the grain while it's in the field or being milled. softened butter definitely much easier. definitely don't eat straight extracts, that's why they are extracts and you're only supposed to put a small amount. also, I used to make edible cookie dough all the time🤤😂
