4 Levels of Doughnuts: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ธ.ค. 2019
- We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - an amateur, a home cook, and a professional - to make us a doughnut of their choice. After each of them had presented their creation, we asked a food scientist to review their work. Which one would you take first, hot off the tray?
Check out the level 3 recipe on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/blog/lemon-mering...

I want to see all of the level 1’s go against each other.
Steven would be the first to go. 😂
The guy in this video would win

gonna need a lot of ketchup lol

That guy made a bagel not a donut
Baked donuts are an abomination
@@Charles.Wright baked donuts are delicious lol.
You can only get baked gluten free donuts. I don’t even remember what a normal one tastes like, but baked ones are pretty good. Maybe because I’m allergic to gluten it makes me a bit bias though.

Level 2 chef : Every Housewife ever
Level 3 chef : Everybody who got yelled by Gordon Ramsay ever
Level 4 chef: everyone who yelled AT gordan ramsey

Shouldn't level 4 be Gordon Ramsay himself?
Yes chef.

I was just impressed that her entire hand fit into that bowl. These mitts would be banging their hairy knuckles on the edge of the bowl.
at this point i'm just convinced that all of anthony's white shirts turned pink when he accidentally put them with a red one in the washing machine
just ran with it
The chefs probably film a good few recipes eachtime tho hence the same pink shirt 😂

well, only one thing allow donuts to be a street food - making huge amount of batter when you sell them, cause frying isn't consuming much time.

How to make someone look like a level 1 noob chef:
you don’t give them a stand mixer
Well it wasnt them. He rubbed in his butter as opposed to whisking it in. It is a technique in and of itself but is mostly reserved for making scones or biscuits because the rubbing creates tiny layers. Like mini puff pastry layers.
I have 2 Kitchen Aid stand mixers and not the cheap artisan ones. They sat on the floor for the past 10 years practically unused. -Totally unnecessary appliance.
@@madthumbs1564 sure, if you have the strength in your arms and hands to hand-whisk everything and get an even texture. some of us are disabled and can't use our hands for longer than a few minutes, debra
@@madthumbs1564 not if ur making bread consistently :P
Ben when I think about it, how many level 1 chefs (I’m sure most of the viewers) have actually used a mixer like that
I didn't know Ryan Reynolds was a level 2 cook.
This is literally all I was thinking about as I watched this
I went through the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one
Mmmm...nope, nope

Exactly. The way he speak is so delusive for people to realize why he is at level 1.
At least Shane didn't put half a cheesecake in his batter like Steven would

Creators of this show: How do we make them a level one chef
Chefs : Take away the materials they need to be successful
I mean, they give them all the materials they request, would be stupid to give them a stand mixer if theyre not gonna use it
I think it makes sense that a level 1 chef at home wouldn't have all the special equipment at home like a level 2 or 3 chef that cooks/bakes more often.
@@ellax325 1 week reply to a 9 month comment, but i absolutely agree, i'd call myself level 1.5 i guess, im trying to do level 2 things but with level 1 tools.
Everyone needs a good friend like Rose, who 1000% knows that you're a level 1 chef with no idea what they're doing, but still talks highly about your "efficient technique yet advanced flavor profile" like you're a level 3 chef.
My favorite comment!
I appreciate her so much i don't know why many people skip her part, or any other food scientist's pwrt for that matter.
Well she’s certainly not helping him, IDK if I’d like to have a friend like that. I’d much rather have honesty
The level ones are getting too good. A real level one would open up a box from Krispy Kreme
Edit: First off thanks for the likes; 10k is a lot. Secondly, on second thought that probably is level 0.
Agreed
Yeah, they need to bring Steven and Emily back to the screen
Agree 100%
Ever microwave a Krispy Kreme donut? It's AMAZING
Where EMILY
She never knows what she’s talking about
A true level one
One of the few episodes where level 3 looks immeasurably better than the others.
Tracy’s doughnuts I wouldn’t attempt to make but I would buy a dozen if I could.
our Level 1 this time is not making donuts, he's making unboiled bagel
sup Ritoshi. laughing emoji
Hahahahaha as a chef lv5 smoning my own utensils and ingredients, I loved your comment! I'll use it on my videos 😂
He’s making biscuits
Ritoshi Shino omg now i cant unsee that lol

hi i'm chase and im a level 0 chef
so first, you want to walk out of your house and make sure to bring some money. and you're going to want to walk or drive or use whatever transportation you have to get to the nearest donut shop. then you walk into the donut shop and find your favorite donut and buy it. there you go.
• chasey • 😂😂😂
Boring.
Hi im Oofer and im a level -1 chef.
So first what you want to do is to go outside with money, head to ur local store, look for cupcakes, lick off the top of the frosting, cut a hole in the center.
And we have a donut
Anna Lialine that sounds professional to me
Anna Lialine that sound big brain
Y’all complaining about how a level 1 would go to a donut shop to buy his but nah I’m going to Walmart and getting them clearance donuts .87¢ for 6 donuts? Yesssirr
The other chefs should taste the level 3 food, it would be interesting to know their opinions.
Cuts hole in pillsbury biscuit, fry, dip in cinnamon/sugar mixture. Level 1 donut.
Emily would've done that
Let'sGetGlam ! No because he forgot ketchup
Let'sGetGlam ! emily made her own cinnamon rolls 😭
Exactly. Fake level 1 up there making the dough and knowing what he's doing.
I'm just like, get out of the kitchen!😂
Right? Level 1 would have fried pre made biscuit dough.
Nothing wrong with that though.
Please bring back the holy trinity:
Emily
Lorenzo
Frank
Emily tops her doughnuts with ketchup
With rose of course
babayevsky yeah, she’s a monster
Don't sleep on Beth like that fam
And rose
Level 4 chef: Hi im a level 4 chef and I have been playing Papa's Doughnatria
Level 1 Chef: "Hi, I'm a level 1 Chef."

Yeah I agree
I wish they would

I only saw them do that when Lorenzo and Frank switched steak recipes
Like they did when Frank and Lorenzo tasted each others dishes
I like Tracy's donut recipe. It's rare that the level 3 recipe is kind of doable by normal people.
fvig2001 I mean it's a donut...
Well really all of the level 3s are doable by normal people it’s really just determined by your own level of motivation and availability of ingredients
I think the real factor is that level 3s require a lot more planning over time since most of the time they are leaving things overnight but if you’re the average at home cooking enthusiast anyone should be able to make level 2-3 foods

everyone: knows their names
me: who's that?
I was expecting the level one chef to pop open a can of Pillsbury biscuits, cut it up, and deep fry it
Lovely Breeze i expected them to drive to Dunkin’ Donuts
The level 1 chef shouldn’t be level 1 honestly because he knows way more things than the other level 1 chefs.
How about Jay?? He is the smartest level 1 chef here
He is a level one. He made muffin with a hole in the middle.
He cooked with Gordon Ramsay on bon appetit and when Gordon told him to put an egg in he put the egg without cracking it.
He's too good to be lvl1 but not good enough to be lvl2.
winter is here 🤣🤣🤣
After trying lots of doughnuts recipes, one thing I could tell was what a difference using fresh yeast makes. I never felt doughnuts had flavor, it was so frustrating! Finally I decided to try fresh yeast and resting in the fridge and both of these things made a huge difference. Now it´s been funny to find a video talking about it.
Tracy is the only person I have seen in a doughnut video to talk about fresh yeast. Her directions are really valuable, and what a mouthwatering and original doughnut she creates. Thank you for this video, it was really very very interesting for a doughnut lover like me:))))!
I've never seen such a fancy-looking donut before (talking about the level 3)
I changed the comment but the replies already dont make sense so the "so the replies don't make sense" joke would be redundant in this situation.

Yes please!
The chefs that come on here are the reason I love to eat so much. Everyone of them you can tell really love what they do. When Tracy showed us her doughnuts, the pure joy on her face tells us so much.
I wanna see the food scientists cooking
Just give a damn mixer to poor Shane. He's mixing the butter in with his hands for god's sake
No , he just decide to use hands
Lmao it's called "rubbing in" it gives a completely different texture from whisking.

Man never blinks.
the level 2 chefs are always so positive and funny!
Steven would've put a cheesecake in his doughnuts let's be honest
Although...there's probably a pretty good way to make an actual cheesecake donut. To the kitchen! I've got some experimenting to do
@@christopherwilson88 maybe try lvl3s method but instead of a custard use cheesecake filling and then sprinkle on some crushed Graham crackers?
APerson that would be delicious asf, actually Krispy Kreme sells that I’ve had one and they’re good
Maybe that wouldn't be wrong in dough, since it is supposed to be dense. Very high in fat tho... sorry, healthy freak me always finds a way to make herself heard lol

That’s my kind of woman.
You know it's a level 3 donut when it doesn't look like a donut. :-D
Anthony's wardrobe consists of nothing but pink shirts.

Smile Or We'll Die what’s the name of his YT Channel?
Fionna McCormick that’s what I thought!
This level 1 should be level 2 because of the specific talks and also making a the dought by him something that Stephen will just get a dought already made
Mrs Epicurious,
Will you add a segment of all chef and cooks to taste each other’s food?
I don’t think they all cook at the same time
Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton i dont think they would but there was a new video where frank and lorenzo exchanged ingredients and they got to taste each other’s food
Good point because they only taste their own food. It's always amazing because it's what they like.
Shane... Shane, no. No, Shane.
You had me with the batter, Shane. Why did you bake it? Baked doughnuts aren't doughnuts, they're just little round cakes.
Also, spoon the glaze? Dunk those mothers!
JetstreamGW maybe the bake made him level 1
I'm sorry
I don't think his dough could even be fried
@@oopsieguacamole1730 Unacceptabllllleeeeee!
Also no it isn't healthy. It's still cake. Don't be goofy.
@@JetstreamGW healthier? XD
I actually love Penny in these videos. Her recipes are always achievable!!
This is one of my favorite of this series because so much of what all three level chefs do is in sync.. even when they use some things differently.
I feel like Shane's doughnut isn't I real doughnut.
I mean, it isn't. Its basically a donut-shaped cake.
He used the biscuit method to cut his dough into his flour, so they're definitely not donuts.
Not a doughnut
Gatekeepers...
he was a level 1 chef...
Ma dude I'm pretty sure even children know what a letter is.
He's a proper boomer
Video starts:

Level 1 Chef: "Aight times to bake these bad boys"

Theory: Anthony is a cartoon character who got into our world, and so the only outfit he has is that pink shirt ensemble.
I feel like he's probably a good dad, but it's also a kind of irritating man.

he reminds me of ryan reynolds deadpool
NightTime Wolf10 YES! I’m so glad someone else sees it!
I’m in love with him wtf is wrong with you all
Wow... all these videos and there is FINALLY one level 3 who made a superior food! Kudos to Tracy!
Tracy and Penny are my absolute favorite level 3 chefs and Rose is the best food scientist
The level 1 chefs are getting better
Kosha Palmer practice
Except Stephen
They about to level up
They must be stopped
Technically. But as far as doughnuts go, these are not doughnuts.
The point of level 1 chef isn't that they're terrible. This isn't americas worst cooks.
The point of level 1 is that cooking can be simple and still arrive at perfectly palatable results. A lot of people tend to have the tendency to not cook at all. That is a mistake.
What I would give to try the lemon meringue pie doughnut.
definitely
If you want em, come to Czechia :P We just dont call it doughnut but "vdolek". We have your regular doughnuts with the hole in the middle, but they arent as popular around here.
For about $15 at Starbucks, you can!
How much does a plane ticket to Europe cost? I have to go there now, I have to try those donuts
You could give up your time and energy and make it at home
LEVEL 1 Chef: What I love about donuts...................... is that everybody likes donuts
I love this number 3, her food always looks so yummy 💕
Indeed, even though I like Frank and Penny the most, I really wish Epicurious featured Tracey more. She has really amazing technique and uniquely creative recipes.
5:04 Tracy: "A proper doughnut is fried, there's no way around it; cake or yeast, it should be fried"
Shane: "And now I'm going to bake this for 10 minutes at 350 degrees".
lmao
lol
Day 1 of waiting for Anthony to introduce himself as "the pink shirt guy" instead of saying his name....
these shows need to have tasters at the end!!!... and yeah, hard to say "level 1" at all for doughnut making
Like Iron Chef!
The level 3 chef's are not doughnuts, they are cakes or pies. She even says "my favorite part's definitely the *pie crust."*
They should start tasting each other’s because, it doesn’t make sense to try their own.
But everyone will vomit after eating level 1 "donut"
They could all be lying saying is good but its actually 💩💩
But yeah it's still going to make a bigger difference if they did tho
Agreed
I've been thinking the same thing
"For the young people out there, those were early day emails."

A letter is what you get when you press a key on your keyboard.

Lol, I'm 13 and I know what a letter is, cuz my teachers used to make us right letters and stuff for our parents and people who worked at the school
Tracy is so creative. Love watching her and Penny create masterpieces.
Am I the only one who thinks that the level 2 chef always makes the best looking food
Does anyone notice that most of the level 3 chefs always look dead inside
The food industry will do it to you.
Maybe it's because they spent all that time studying cooking only to be able to destroy simple good food on a TH-cam channel?
