- How did we make such a mess?
- I don't know.
(upbeat music)
Alright Kristin, what are we doing today?
- We're doing another
- [Together] Tiny Cooking Competition!
- Wow, we nailed that.
- Also, just to be clear, we are not making small food.
- No, the competition is tiny,
because the stakes are tiny.
- It's small in scope.
And it also involves two people.
- Mhmm.
- Guess which two!
(crickets chirping)
It's us.
- Kitchen and Jorn.
- Kitchen and Jorn!
And today we are going to compete
to see who can make the best
- [Together] Grilled cheese.
- The amount of things that we can safely cook
in the soundstage, are pretty limited,
but a grilled cheese is within the bounds of safety,
so that's what we're doing today.
- Jen is using a recipe.
- I'm not using a recipe, I already knew how to make it.
Basically referring to a recipe
just to make sure I'm doing it correctly.
There's no real recipe to a grilled cheese.
You can use cheese and bread, that's it.
- I'm not using a recipe.
- So neither Kristin and I are using recipes.
- Your recipe is right over there.
- Shut up.
I love grilled cheeses, I eat them pretty much everyday
in college.
- I think grilled cheese is the perfect hangover food.
I think it is the perfect synergy of butter,
cheese and other ingredients that I will add.
- We are gonna go to the grocery store,
we're gonna pick up our ingredients
and we'll see you back here when it's time to cook.
- Okay, we're shopping for ingredients.
- We are, we are at a grocery store.
You don't know which one.
- But you could probably
- [Together] Guess.
- Look at me going through the store,
oh look who it is, it's my good friend Kristin,
who's avoiding me.
'Cause she's embarrassed.
Hey Kristin.
How's your shopping going?
Bad, I hope.
- Okay so I have got brioche but now Jen wants
to scam on my brioche.
- Well I don't see the point of us both buying two loaves
if we're gonna use the same type of bread.
- Okay, well that's permission.
Thank you.
- [Kristin] I'm not telling you where I got the brioche.
I'm getting away from Jen
so she can't steal my ideas anymore.
- I do.
That's what you're getting?
- I don't need much baby.
- [Jen] It looks like you also have
some fruit in there Kristin.
- I have tomatoes.
You have literally a whole salad.
- [Jen] It looks pretty good, all of my ingredients.
How confident are you feeling?
- Very confident, ready to get beat.
- Oh.
We're back.
- Alright, is it time to start?
- Yeah.
- Alright.
- [Together] Tiny cooking competition.
Here is all of the stuff that we bought.
- I see that you have a bunch of produce,
which, sorry about that.
Don't know why you made that choice.
- I think that the produce is a good addition
because it cuts the fat.
It adds a little bit of acid.
- It does? - And a little bit of salt.
- No it-- - And a little bit of heat.
So I would think that you'd appreciate that.
- I mean, the thing is this is a competition
and I don't think that we have been competitive enough.
We've been too helpful and not nasty.
(beeps)
- Fine, I can.
Oh no.
I didn't think it would roll that far.
Here, this is my apple.
Get out of here.
- Why'd you do that?
- Well we had to wash them anyway.
- Sorry about Jen.
Sorry Jen did that.
- (beeps) you.
- So what I have here is bread, cheese,
garlic, tomatoes, and butter.
What is this?
(laughing)
(beeps)
- I have bread.
I have cheese.
I have butter.
I have arugula, rosemary, thyme, and some apples.
I got some onion salt, some pepper and
a little bit of habanero hot sauce.
Basically the cheese I chose, just a plain brie
and a brie with portobello mushrooms.
We're gonna make a test subject just to ensure
that like the grilled cheese itself tastes okay,
the recipe is working, we will make adjustments
to our test subject, and then eventually we will
present a final product to a panel of judges.
We do have panini presses off camera,
so that's what we'll be using
to actually cook them when the time comes.
Any things you want to say before we get into this,
and start prepping?
- I hope you like losing.
- Oh I do so, suck my (beeps) dude.
(dramatic music)
- I'm basically gonna make a homemade herb butter.
- Okay I'm going to start slathering butter,
let's tiny cook our asses off!
(laughing)
- Tiny Cooking Competition.
- I'm just going to refer to my recipe,
which is not a recipe it's just a guidance
'cause I'm doing this from my brain.
- I'm gonna do this from my brain,
because I'm not actually holding a recipe near my face.
- Whatever.
- Alright lets see if this works.
(stomach growls)
- Was that your tummy?
- That was my stomach.
(laughing)
- Oh, so this butter is not as soft as I would like.
- How do you do thyme? Is it just the leaves?
- No don't put the stems in there, ahh,
why should I help you?
- Just the leaves? - No, put the stems in there.
- No, no, leaves though?
- Yeah just the leaves.
- Thank you for not lying to me.
- Slices of bread are very small.
- I know, that's the only thing these
sandwiches aren't going to be very big.
- That's okay, they don't need to be big,
they just need to be cool.
Mmm, I love that sound.
(squishing)
- Probably not fun for you, I imagine.
(plastic snapping)
- Well and Jen has broken the first spoon.
Not much drama is happening right now,
I'm mostly just, buttering some bread.
Classic Tuesday.
- I mean, I actually feel like these
are gonna taste really good.
I rarely make grilled cheese with
like fresh ingredients I just bought.
I usually find old cheese I forgot I had.
- An old cheese I inherited from my grandfather.
- Yeah.
(laughing)
- Okay and then were going to put on some salt,
salt, salt, salt.
Oh wow the cheese is actually bigger than the bread.
(laughing)
- So what I'm doing here, is I'm using my
freshly herbed butter, and I'm buttering both sides.
- So what happens if I'm almost ready to start
George Foreman grilling.
- I think you can get started.
Good experiment because one of my Bries
has portobello mushrooms in it and one does not.
And I don't know if the mushrooms
are going to make it a little bit too rich?
- [Kristin] Tomato baby!
- Also for all the people watching I know the commenters
are going to be like y'all are using the wrong types of
knives for all the things that you're using.
Just let it go, you know.
- It's time for me to start pressing.
Oh I forgot about the garlic.
We'll see what this tastes like.
- I'm almost ready to assemble, then I can start
panining mine.
- I am excite.
- So I have my buttered breads
and I got my little cheesies.
- And then what else are you putting?
- I'm going to put some other stuff
once I've actually heated it up.
- Do we have a prize?
- Last time we said the prize was that whoever won
got to pick where we go to lunch.
- And then we forgot about it. - We forgot.
Maybe that's the prize this time.
It's unclear.
- The prize is whoever wins gets to be really gloaty
and a sore winner about it until we make the next one.
- And yeah even if that wasn't the prize
you would do that anyway so.
(laughs) and we know I would do that.
(sizzling)
- [Kristin] So drippy, so wet!
I don't love that this only has one heat setting.
And its HOT!
- Alright I'm gonna put mine on.
- No this isn't looking good.
You can already see the tomato has fallen off.
I think yours is better.
(chuckling)
(laughing)
- Now we wait, I mean I don't know how long.
- I'm going to set a three minute timer.
- I hope we don't melt anything.
(timer dings) You know what this tomato, you had a good run,
you're not a part of the sandwich anymore,
you've been fired from the sandwich.
Oh shhh.
- These got real hot real fast.
- We kinda thought it would be fine
it turns out it was nein.
Which is German for no.
(claps)
- This set doesn't have a spatula yet and
this needs to come off, so, nope.
(party horns blowing)
- Cool.
- It did a little somersault on the way down.
- By the way during the break I added arugula to mine.
- Okay this is a little burned.
- This is test subject one.
- Slice this bad boy in half.
- That (beeps) delicious.
Oh my god!
- I'm not getting the tomato,
oh 'cause that part doesn't have tomato.
(laughing)
Do I love the tomato on this?
Unclear.
Problems here, the cheese didn't melt all the way through,
which means I probably need to add like less cheese.
More salt, not going to add the tomato until the end.
What are you going to change about yours second round?
- I might experiment with not adding the apples
until after the sandwich is cooked.
So I wanna see if maybe that will change
the taste a little bit.
I also am considering adding a little bit more cheese.
So we'll see I'm going to experiment a little bit,
but honestly pretty confident in this addition,
the butter and herbs I think really added to it.
- Okay I know what I'm gonna do. I'm ready.
- Alright, round two!
- I don't know much but I know how to make
cheese taste good.
That involved as much salt and butter as possible.
Jen is taking this very seriously.
- What?
- Your sandwich is really good.
- You've already made it very clear your position.
- That I like my own sandwich better?
- Yeah.
- I think you're going to get points for creativity
and I think Mike might like your sandwich better.
- Yeah, he's a bit bougie baby boy
handsome beautiful baby boy.
- He is handsome and beautiful and he has beautiful taste.
- Anyway I'm fine if I lose.
- I'm not.
(stirring)
Listen, at the end of the day we both will have made
delicious sandwiches.
So are there any losers?
Yes.
- Literally there will be. - Sorry for laughing at you.
I feel like people are going to be so mad
at this in the comments.
People are going to be like Kristin's so mean to Jen.
- You come for Kris
and I'll (beeps) bite your god damn head off.
I am honestly half the time so annoying.
I need to be made fun of.
- Okay I think there's enough butter on this.
- Its time to prepare our final sandy J's
for the judgment of our friends.
- And I'm going to be using Jen's.
- Because her's was making too much smoke.
We don't want to get in trouble.
- If we do this will be the very last
Tiny Cooking Competition. - Tiny Cooking Competition.
We got some cheese oozing.
- I feel like this now a competition of us
versus not setting off the smoke alarm.
- Tiny Cooking Competition.
- Tiny Cooking Competition!
- Kristin's turn.
- Its my turn, baby.
Hush little grilled cheese please don't burn.
- Cause mamma's going to be just a little stern.
- 'Cause if you set off the fire alarm.
- We will not make these videos anymore.
God damn it!
- Love that ooze, so now we're gonna flip it.
Kristin is standing in front of the camera,
so we can't focus on what she's doing.
- Tiny Cooking Competition.
- Tiny Cooking Competition!
Literally all the butter just melted,
and has oozed out of the grill.
I guess it's kinda of the point of the grill
- He's ready.
- Oh, he's ready.
Come on little grill cheese, I love you.
We'll see if I can get this off the grill.
Careful.
Oh my god, wow!
(laughing)
She just picked it up and put it on the plate.
- We got (beeps) to do.
Just so you know our sandwiches are complete
they are still warm, because we timed them
poorfectly.
- Poorfectly is actually a good way of putting it.
- We timed them poorfectly.
Poorly but it happened.
- [Everyone] Wow
- Our judges are here.
- Our friends, we have prepared for you
two different grilled cheeses.
You will be trying them both and saying which one is better.
- Seems simple.
- Is it?
- [Everyone] Tiny Cooking Competition.
- Time for the big reveals.
- [Everyone] Woo!
- So off the bat I'm gonna say that
sandwich has a little bit more color to it.
- [Mike] Yeah I agree with Jenna I think the color
here is fun but this one is also very clean and simple,
like I know exactly what I'm getting, which I appreciate.
- And I will say sometimes a little color
is nice, but with a grilled cheese,
you're looking for a really down to earth
home-styled grilled cheese cookin'.
- [Jenna] It's comfort foods.
- Okay it's gettin' cold.
Let's eat them.
- So we're going to try this one sandwich first.
- [Jenna] Off the bat...
- Wow!
- It's sweet.
- 'Cause I feel like even just on the brioche
it's giving it a little sweetness,
a little savory, a little butter.
- Plus I taste a little salt, a little onion salt on that.
- What gave it away, the onion salt?
- It's right over there.
- I think it's time for sandwich number two.
- Let's do it.
- Okay I'll take one last bite.
- [Mike] So this is very orange cheese.
- This is a weighty grilled cheese.
- Yeah, you have to pick.
- You must choose, one of your babies must die.
- Oh god!
- It's a little heavy on the salt for me.
- I love salt.
- Me too.
I don't like tomatoes, and this sandwich
makes me like the raw tomato inside.
- I'm gonna eat a grilled cheese tonight.
- Well done both of you.
- Thank you.
- But I already voted my favorite is this one.
- Oh wow.
- I appreciate the arugula in that one,
but I liked this one better.
- I think I need to eat more of this in order
to make a fair assessment.
- Okay, Mike.
- I think we need one more from the grill.
- Could you make another sandwich, my mouth forgot.
- I do really love both of these,
I think they're truly delicious.
This one, since it is a little bit heavy on the salt for me
I think I have to choose this one.
- That's okay I'll take that off your hands.
- I'm not saying I don't want to eat it. (laughing)
- Mike!
- You're a growing boy.
- So your going to let me have it and not Jenna?
- So Mike we have one vote of one sandwich and
one vote for the other sandwich.
- It comes down to you, Mike.
- This is an incredible amount of pressure,
they're both exquisite.
I'm going to judge based on what I feel
a grilled cheese sandwich is.
- Wow!
- Because of that I think I'm going to choose this one.
Because it is very savory and cheddary, and...
- Oh no!
(laughing)
- I have won again!
- I hate these videos!
It's fine,
Tiny Cooking Competition.
(laughing)
- I didn't expect a gourmet version,
and I didn't expect a classic version done so well.
(laughing)
- Just like her, classic done so well.
- [Everyone] Tiny Cooking Competition,
Grilled Cheese Edition.
Lady tasted, lady yummed.
- Now you can eat all the ingredients.
- Okay bye!
