Who was shocked at #8 ?!? Gearing up for our next batch of episodes, What baking questions do you have?

[AllegraVivace]

I feel like a lot of people aren't going to get the tongue-in cheek-ness of the "#8 will SHOCK you" clickbait, being that it is something we've seen her do for a bunch of recipes already but it did make me LOL. Really do love these extra episodes and appreciate you always uploading so consistently

Alternative Title: Claire Saffitz Teaches You At Least 5, Possibly Up To 9, Totally Awesome Techniques Before she Gots to Go.

Honestly Claire is so patient and detailed. I've seen her explain that same process of making caramel atleast four times and each time it was equally informative, detailed and extremely clear. You can really tell how much she loves what she does and how much appreciation and respect she has for the art of cooking

[AsteroidWrangler]

"I'm out of them right now" feels like Claire's way of saying about the quart containers "they're all hidden deep in the fridge and I may never get them back", and honestly I'm here for it.

[zainabsyed]

Hi Claire! Could you do a video on best recipe ingredient substitutions (like best to worst case scenario)?

[alexinarose]

Even though she overshot the whipped cream a little I do really appreciate her including the troubleshoot to correct it, I've actually never seen how to do that before. Great video as always!

[Ntakhar]

Officially referring to browning butter as #8 now. “This recipe could really be elevated with some #8”

[Mister_kipling]

Would really love if Claire had a podcast. She has the perfect voice, temperament and disposition for one....also that giggle would translate so well over the air waves !! ❤ 🇮🇪

Watching you (and others) cook in smaller space kitchens has helped me rethink my own kitchen and how I use it. I don't need a show room kitchen to turn out amazing food And because I am a smaller person I am not struggling with normal sized tools anymore. Utility knife instead of chef's knife. Rolling or kneading dough on a lower table instead of at countertop height.

[cptntwinkletoes]

I'm suprised Claire can still say the word "extrude" without war-like flashbacks.

[ElizabethGonzalez-tjgl]

i love that each technique has it's own subcategories of further techniques and tips. it's like a baking technique inception

[SeraphinaPZ]

Time is limited but Claire still finds time to show us how to whip cream by hand. That is dedication to the craft.

[lechatbotte.]

I bought my friend your cookbook for a birthday gift, her Mom wants to make the recipes too. Now they’re in love with all things Claire. Best gift I’ve ever given. Being addicted to Claire an addiction that’s cure is just more Claire!!

[justin.booth.]

Just a note on caramel, unlike with browning meat and bread, making caramel actually does not involve the Maillard reaction, it's simply pyrolysis of the sugar that causes browning. The Maillard reaction requires both a sugar and an amino acid (from a protein) to occur, and table sugar is essentially pure sucrose so there are no proteins present and thus no amino acids.

Claire, lissen: this video will save so many recipes around the world. No one stopped to teach us this little intricacies before. Thank you very much!

[elaine-gcuv]

your weekly uploads are literally the only thing i look forward to. thank you for making quarantine more bearable claire 🥺🤍

[phoenixkh]

Claire: this...too small whisk
Babish: Cries

[chesterstefan]

Great idea to collate these techniques into one video so they're easier to find and revisit instead of having to searching through other videos! Another video idea that might be fun is to have a fan q&a about recipes/the channel in general/anything, and also have Claire react to people's recipe attempts and recreations. That was by far the best and most heartwarming part of the pop tart remakes video on that other channel we do not name.

Way to get my anxiety going Clair! The whole time I was so worried you’d be late to your event. I kept saying to myself “yeah, great! That was the last one right? Another one?! Ok for sure that’s the last one?!!” And then Brown butter! Great tips! But don’t be late!!
