I wasn’t expecting that erotic ending
Do those people get paid in the back pretending to be working?
I need to know who directed this!!!!!????? That she keeps eating as he is talking so unbecoming!
I wish he would just hush while she's tasting….takes concentration and his blabbing is sucha distraction.
I've used bakers for years I had no idea this would be the fav. Lol it trips me out.
I found Simply Organic about 5 years ago, and could taste the difference when baking & in vanilla syrups. It became my go-to brand. My daughter picked up on it right away. She's REALLY picky with spices & can tell the differences right off – think she inherited it from me…🥺 Now she always makes sure it's in my cupboard before baking.
Petroleum extracts. Sounds ghastly. Did John D Rockefeller ruin vanilla as well as the drugs we take too?
ATK,Hello, as a child during WWII only imitatation was available,but even toda there is NO imitation in our homeCOSTCO sold PURE VANILLA, which is still here, to all we use,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Put down the damn spoon!
I use Simply Organic & it's delicious 😋 Absolutely perfect in sugar cookies.
I wanted to listen to him , but can’t concentrate to watch her eating the whole time !! 🤦🏻♀️😂😂
Hello from Savannah ga
jesus christ let the guy talk, why tf is she just gobbling all the puddings. Even I was getting pissed and I'm not even hungry.
needs double blind and random group based testing to be valid.
so while he's trying to talk she's steady stuffing her face & looking really dumb in the process! can you not wait???
Women can't wait for the show to end to gobble up the pudding
I wish you'd talked about recommendations for baked goods versus pudding or whatever you tested. It would be good to have your professional advice on when you can skate by with the cheap stuff, like chocolate chip cookies for the kids? And when it's worth splashing out for the real deal
I absolutely love this show.I speeded through because I needed to buy some vanilla flavor and the inexpensive one was what I was curious about and shocked it was even considered on test kitchen because I highly respect the opinions of the great people on this show.
I could have told you she was a tasting expert without the title.
For anyone looking, 15. She eats 15 spoonfuls. Vanilla eating machine. This woman is at least 98% pure vanilla pudding.
NEVER take this woman to an expensive restaurant.
Buy a bottle of imitation. And buy some good vanilla beans.
Pour some vodka or unspiced rum into a jar, and drop the vanilla beans in a tightly sealed jar.
Every couple of days, shake the jar. Use the imitation bottle in the meantime.
Don't get me wrong, the beans are still expensive….but in about 3-9 months you'll have a TON of vanilla extract that is arguably just as good as any of the extracts you buy.
The Simply Organic is the best vanilla extract from a grocery store I’ve tasted. It tastes good in baked goods, puddings, frostings, etc. The McCormick organic vanilla is great too, and tastes so much better than the original McCormick vanilla, as it’s less harsh tasting, and has more of a smooth clean vanilla flavor.
I wish he would stfu while she’s tasting so she can concentrate
Thats why I make my own Vanilla extract with Madagascar vanilla beans and expensive Bourbon Whiskey.
Buy vanilla beans whole and put them in a bottle with a decent vodka. Great vanilla and you can re- fill the bottle several times
Talking way too much. GET TO THE POINT PLEASE!
Make your own… Vanilla beans in a jar of good Vodka.
Have you done a vanilla make with Alcohol versus one made with no alcohol?
I don't want artificial flavoring, especially petroleum.
Jeez she couldnt wait to try out the pudding. She is just taste testing in high stress situation. She hated the one that was recommended, this video is just chaos.
Thanks for letting us know there is a Petroleum based product in Imitation Vanilla. I make my own but never knew the Imitation had petro in it
Omm nomm nomm… gonna eat me a ton of pudding!
After seeing this segment I bought Baker's Imitation vanilla. I was very excited because at heart I am a tightwad. Boy was I disappointed. I used it in a cookie recipe where the vanilla wasn't the star of the show, just an enhancer. I taste soap when I used the imitation. I've always noticed that certain less expensive vanilla ice creams over the years have a soapy background note and if I had read the label I am sure I would have found vanillin instead of vanilla. I wish it weren't true. I loved the price of Baker's.
Can someone tell me how long a bottle of vanilla extract remains edible? I found a bottle of Watkins Original Double Strength in my cabinet that is at least 15 years old and want to know if I can still use it.
She must have skipped Breakfast!
Vanilla is originally from Mexico. I guess it would be fair to include a Mexican made vanilla into the test.
Fact. To be called pure, FDA requires 1oz of vanilla beans to 8oz of alcohol. It is the only standard out there. But beware, they can add things to it and still call it pure. You cannot substitute the real deal with additives. Yes, it is very expensive, but then again, so are diamonds. 🤷♂️
Hello
She is going to eat all the pudding heck with the testing 🤣
today's tip: do not eat petroleum.
(Real) vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world, after saffron. So if someone calls you 'vanilla' to mean boring, remember they're also calling you a luxury item!
love that petroleum huh?
Cooks Illustrated also did a comprehensive test among many and The Bakers Imitation Vanilla won.
