If anyone wants an easy version of something thats 80% similar, just add gochujang when making your Pasta alla vodka sauce. It makes it so much better
It’s funny seeing everybody get their undies in a twist over a zwillimg product placement. You know, the company that’s been around for over 200 years and can be found widely in kitchens, department stores, and professional restaurants. ATK isn’t shilling for some random YouTuber brand subscription-based product or VPN service. It’s just quality pots, pans, and knives you would find anywhere. I would prefer if they saved the ad read and placement until the end of the video.
ATK has to pay the bills somehow. This is the modern world. This high level of production costs a lot of money. Plenty of 'channels' to choose from – They're taking their shot. This one is a bit slow and overproduced for me. Nik has to do such a locked down performance. He pulls it off, but – damn!

I loved the recipe and the host, but disliked the video because of how ads were handled.
The knife ad makes sense, because it scored high in your testing, but why are you advertising that pot? The fact that you didn't say whether or not it scored high in your testing makes me very confused about whether ATK actually endorses it or not.
I think this undercuts your credibility as an organisation.
Good ideas. Too bad it's in the form of an infomercial. Should have waited until late night to watch it.
I like this. It's is a simple quick sauce that uses butter and shallots. Almost all my sauces are made like that. I must make this dish. But I live in a small coastal community in Oregon, and I doubt I can purchase that Korean paste. But my store would order it if I give a brand name. Can any of you awesome cooks out there suggest one. I would appreciate very much.
The original mandate of Cook's Illustrated was reviewing independence and no ads. I know we're in a brave new world, but please drop the repeated fatuous product placement references.
Crap, another paid ad. I’m afraid I’m going to have unsubscribe. This is no longer a real ATK.
Yeah…. Not really liking the infomercial format. Considering unsubscribing after a dozen years.
When did ATK start advertising?
First ATK removed subscriber comments from all of their product reviews, and now these videos filled with ads… I always thought of ATK as focused on the home cook but now they are clearly becoming focused on the advertisers.
I'm so sad to be losing a source of impartial reviews and cooking science. This channel is starting to look exactly like every other YouTube cooking channel, and the website is feeling less and less like a community. Such a shame.
I ended up making this last night for dinner. It was so good! The sauce was so flavorful and the panko topping was the cherry on top. I love Nik Sharma's recipes! It's been really fun trying new ingredients.
mi piace!
❤❤❤
I cannot wait to try this recipe!!
So good
Mi piacerebbe sempre
Very nice 👌
Good
Another video with "sponsored content" in it…. ATK's credibility in testing is going down, and it is pity that for now it is all on this great new chef.
If you want traditional Korean snack with gochujang paste, look for tteokbokki recipe.
No butter, no tomatoes, no cream or other abominations. 🙄
Yes, gochujang paste is spicy. It’s a dominate flavor.
If you want to add an extra hour to your prep, try this easy, simple method.
the spon-con makes this video horrible
❤❤
Aside for everything mentioned, please stop using clickbait titles in videos. Just mention gochujang.
I gave thumbs down because of the ads. I get cooking info from ATK specifically because there are no adverts within the videos other than adverts for ATK/CC/CI products and services. If these videos are going to start including third-party ads, I'm going to stop watching them.
Please please please do not adopt this advertising strategy. I cringed every time the products were mentioned by name.
Downvote this video if you’re not feeling comfortable about ATK turning on their “neutral stance” principles and running ads.
This is very disappointing. I didn't decide to watch this recipe demo to be subjected to built-in product advertising. Enough with the ads. They even distract from the recipe. 😮
