It is.

@@DizzyedUpGirl it appeals to the American audience who are very lazy. In their profound ignorance and Idiocracy they fail to realize no self respecting meal will turn up in 8 minutes.

Woah, she's a magician... Around 50 seconds she put the steaming rack on the counter top, then she put the lid on the pot, took it off and like magic the steaming rack is back in the pot without her putting it in there.
Matthew Turner she’s done this before in her x-press cooking infocommercials. She’ll coat a steak with A1, put it on the pan then claim to look at that “sear.” Nah, Girl you cooked the A1.
Actually, you’re all wrong. Putting paprika on things like chicken and dumplings is pretty standard - it gives the faintest hint of flavor without overpowering the recipe. Even before she put the paprika on, the dumplings looked the way they are supposed to.
If you look closely, there's a few moments where you can see cathy's tattoo peeking out from her sleeve. Far as I can tell, it says "fuck tha police." Kind of surprising given her wholesome image.
The seamless editing at 0:50 is the reason I don’t trust infomercials lol. When she put the lid on, no tray...when she takes the lid off, BAM a tray lol
@@drewconway7135far as I know it's more of a southern thing than a old thing. coke cakes are a common potluck dessert and Dr Pepper can go in a few bbq recipes
@@PinkiTadinki The idea was that it was somehow advantageous to replace oil and eggs in a cake recipe with sugary soda. Like that made it low-fat, so somehow healthier. That's what I meant by "anti-fat."
I seriously don't understand how you could make THAT "recipe" at 18:50 without thinking "what in the fuck am I doing?" She's just pouring in terrible ingredients and mixing it all up into a slurry.
Starting at about 13:13 she puts the steamer tray with the salmon in the pan. The salmon is on the right of the picture. And then "eight minutes later" the salmon magically move to the bottom of the frame about about 14:30. The magic of editing and swap outs to push this pan sales.
It's too bad these cool ideas are manufactured so cheaply. The nonstick coating wore out and flaked away really fast. And the top steam handle broke really fast.

Lolololol
those "said noone ever" jokes are so dumb. however, yours made me laugh really hard.
I feel like she added paprika to make stuff look more brown than it actually turned out
Matthew Turner she’s done this before in her x-press cooking infocommercials. She’ll coat a steak with A1, put it on the pan then claim to look at that “sear.” Nah, Girl you cooked the A1.
Yup! Paprika, soy sauce, A1, hell, throw in dark shoe polish while at it. G R I L L E D 😂
Actually, you’re all wrong. Putting paprika on things like chicken and dumplings is pretty standard - it gives the faintest hint of flavor without overpowering the recipe. Even before she put the paprika on, the dumplings looked the way they are supposed to.
I think so. No one uses that much paprika. Also, taco seasoning.
That's the point of paprika. Most paprika varieties have zero taste. It's just a visual thing.
the beef in that first dish hasn't been "fried", it's been boiled in its own juices and is going to taste like shoe leather.
Lmao Im afraid Cathy alongside with the ignorant American audience doesn't understand the physics and chemistry of oil vs water lol
Actually, it doesn't taste like shoe leather. It tastes good. It really is no different that you cooking with a regular pan and lid 😒
Why out of EVERYTHING on every streaming platform do I choose THIS video to watch on a Tuesday night 😅
Because Cathy's the real deal.

All I’m saying is that rice was NOT ready. 😅
Honey, it was burned and stuck to the bottom 🤣
Cathy touching raw meat, then touching literally everything else afterwards. lol I can't.
And she’s still alive

the Salmon is white, that means its overcooked, the fat turns white at high temps and indicated salmon is over cooked.
