- Can we watch the video one more time?
I just gotta remember something,
like what's next.
(laughing)
(tuba playing)
- In my time at I put myself through a number
of ridiculous cooking and baking trials.
Okay.
God (bleep).
I'm so over this.
But it dawned on me, why should I have all the fun?
So I'm challenging two of my friends.
Gadiel and Julissa to tackle one of my recipes.
The Giant Chocolate Souffle.
(breathing)
(laugh)
How would you guys rate your skills in the kitchen?
- Well, I can cook.
- Okay, but what about baking?
- Hmm I have burned some cookies in my day.
- It shouldn't be hard, just put it
in the oven and that's it, and leave it in there.
- Okay, great.
- How hard can baking be?
- Challenge accepted.
(laughing)
- So for this challenge you're each gonna watch the video,
and then you're going to compete
to see who can recreate the dish the best
with absolutely no instruction beyond that.
And at the end I'll be judging to see who did the best job.
- So watch the video once and that's it?
- Because I'm not a total jerk,
I'm gonna throw you guys some lifelines.
During the challenge you can either,
peek at the video, or you can Facetime me
and ask me any question you want.
- Woo, okay.
- Okay,okay.
- Alright.
- Well I'll leave you guys to it and best of luck.
- He's gonna need it.
Are you ready?
- Let's do it.
Oh wow, that's how we know.
Ra-me-keen.
What the (bleep) is ra-me-keen?
- First of all it's ramekin.
(laugh)
- Can you stir that motha (bleep).
Can we curse?
Too late.
Flour, salt, vanilla.
- This seems easy, you know.
- What the (bleep) is that?
- It's the ch, I'm not gonna tell you.
This is easy.
- No, no, no, this is ridiculous.
- Shh, you're distracting me.
- They put the chocolate back in the bowl.
Why is it growing like that?
Oh, wow.
- Whoa.
- I'm not going lie, that ain't going happen.
- Let the games begin.
(funky music)
- What are you doing?
- God, you're so annoying.
- Every time, now that you hide it,
now I wanna know what you doing.
No, that's messed up.
That's (bleep)
- Get away from me.
- You gotta put the sugar in there.
- Mmhmm.
Can't wait to see everything you're about to do.
(laughing)
God we should of had a divider.
I'ma take a break and just let you go for it.
- I'm heating this up right now.
- And then what?
- I'll put some milk in there.
- He doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
- I know what I'm doing.
You just gotta look confident.
(liquid splashing)
(laughing)
- Alright, I'ma put that in there.
(laughing)
- Why you looking at me, do your own thing.
- I just don't remember how much you gotta put in here.
(glass clinks)
So we stirring it, because we had
add chocolate into the milk.
(laughs)
Now.
(laughing)
- I feel like this is not thickening.
Did I miss something?
- I gotta stop copying her, she's ruining my stuff
and I'ma watch that video one more time.
I'ma use my lifeline.
- So you're really gonna turn it away from me.
You're not gonna let me watch.
- No, no cheating.
- So when I get a lifeline I'm not gonna show you.
- Okay, alright let's watch.
(clock ticking)
Oh.
Oh, okay.
Hold on, wait a minute girl.
(clock ticking)
(alarm ringing)
- Aww.
- She still got her lifeline.
- I'm not using that lifeline right now.
- But you cheated.
I didn't see the rest of it cuz she took over.
You going put the chocolate in there.
- Uh huh. I know.
- See I helped you, see I'm pretty nice.
- I already knew that.
Why are you still stirring?
- Because it's good to continue stirring
when you don't what you doing.
I've been waiting on that plastic.
You put a plastic right here.
- Something is terribly wrong about this.
- I'ma do it the way I do it.
- Hers already have the little texture.
This is just water.
- Use your lifeline.
- No I'm not using my lifeline.
What is it going to do now?
- Exactly, we don't know.
What if we mess it up now,
and in the future it will be too late.
- I feel like it's already too late.
- That's why you quiet.
What are you doing?
- I'm securing my bowl.
- I'm not even going copy you.
(laughs)
Where you goin?
- Um, where's the refrigerator?
- I thought we were friends.
- Hey guys are these your batters?
- Yes.
- I'm not supposed to do this but
- It's watery.
- It's too watery.
- I knew it.
- And you're gonna wanna put these back on the heat
and make sure they get thickened up.
- But you put the plastic on like this right?
- He's right about the plastic.
- In your face.
- But I didn't do it, because look at this.
- Yeahh, but that's not right.
- This is dumb.
- Okay, I'm gonna leave.
Have at it, good luck, this never happened.
- That's fine.
She's watching the video there on her phone.
- No I'm not.
- I was recording Gadiel, we were on a break.
- I didn't look at it though.
- I have receipts of what the was trying to look up.
- [Gadiel] Souffle.
- [Julissa] What are you doing?
What are you doing?
- Too bad I didn't do it. - And he couldn't look it up,
why?
- Cuz you told me not too.
- That's not why.
He didn't know how to spell souffle.
(laughing)
We corrected our mistake.
I followed Gadiel with putting
the little wrap on top, on top.
- Cuz I know what I'm talking about.
- What's the next step?
- I already did the next step.
I put the egg whites in here, the other powders
that goes around the egg whites,
I don't know what it was, and I stir it up.
I used the machine because I was stirring it up
at the same time as I was stirring the chocolate.
Booya, because that's how you save time my friends.
Now what we goin do is keep stirring this thing up,
making it nice and smooth and then we goin mix this thing
in there, am I right?
Yes.
And then you going make it feel all soft and fluffy.
Put everything in here and then afterwards,
(clap)
in the oven for thirty minutes
and it's gonna rise up.
That's right.
- Do it.
(funky music)
(chimes)
- Wow, look at that.
Look at that.
♪ I like it, like that. ♪
Any baker knows that before you put it
in the oven, you have to preheat the oven.
Right?
Also goes for sex.
I'll be right back. (crickets chirping)
350 degrees.
375?
I could read lips girl.
I'ma put the whole thing because ain't nobody got time
for anything else.
You see how creamy that looks?
That's how its supposed to look people.
Ohh.
- Mines is not getting fluffy.
- Cuz you don't show no love.
That's what happens people.
- I do not remember seeing her do any of that.
- Ahh.
I might bake mines at 375.
(gasps)
Because maybe that's part of the video I didn't see.
(oven beeps)
I might think confident but I'm really not confident at all.
- Baking is hard.
(claps)
This is so easy.
- Why you taking forever?
- I'm just taking my time.
Yeah, look at the fluff.
You don't want to lose the fluff.
- I didn't use the fluff cuz I was using this.
- Alright, I think mines is good.
Like it doesn't look watery.
- Mines didn't look.
(laughing)
- Yes it did.
- Did I (bleep) it up?
- Mm this tastes good.
- She's trying to get in my head.
But I'm not stupid.
Betcha it's gonna come out delicious.
- [Julissa] Look at that.
- I don't like the way it looks.
The thumb is for later.
Oh wait, it's before you put it in.
(bleep)
- I'm not saying how much time I'm gonna put mine in for
because he's gonna go copy me.
Just like he switched his temperature.
- I might bake mines at 375.
(gasp)
- So I'm gonna refrain from speaking anymore
on what I'm doing.
Mine is just baking, and I'm ready.
- Mines is baking too and when it's ready,
it's gonna be dope.
(laughing)
- It smells really good.
- I think it looks good.
Hahaha.
- This is the easiest part, and it's the best part
because you can cover any of the imperfections with it.
- Yeah he needs to cover
it cuz - Shut up.
- I hope you guys saw what it looked like prior.
- It looked amazing.
(whip cream sloshing)
- Alright, Gadiel.
- Let's taste this. - Let's give it a taste.
(drumroll)
- [Gadiel] Alright.
- Okay.
- This is wet.
(buzzer)
- You actually want your souffle
to be a little bit wet inside.
It's supposed to be light and airy when you eat it.
- I don't know what souffle supposed to taste like,
but that tastes good.
- I mean it's souffle, it always taste good.
I'm gonna have to be critical here though.
- Tell him that it is mushy.
- To me it's mushy.
- I'm getting a grainy texture on my tongue
after I eat it and also when you first look it,
there wasn't any rise out of the souffle dish.
So that's telling me that you probably
like really whipped the batter.
When you were supposed to really lightly fold it.
- Ohh.
- How did you do the folding process?
- I never had it folded because
(laughing)
- That's what's gonna happen and you're not gonna
get a light and airy souffle and it's not gonna rise up.
But I mean, it's chocolate still tastes good.
- I did, it did rise up.
It was like in the middle and then to here.
- I couldn't eat it.
- [Alex] We're gonna try.
- [Gadiel] I'ma try this one.
- I was getting like some weird aftertaste.
- Like protein.
- Yours is still on the gooeyer side which is good.
- Uh uh.
- You don't want over bake it but it is a little.
- Wakala.
- What's wakala mean?
- Uh uh, it's not good.
(laughing)
I like mines better.
You can tell that mines had more love and hers was hate.
- I will say though, your top looked nicer.
It didn't have a rise like a souffle should have
but it had a flat top with a little bit
of scoop in the center and that means
it's not like overdone.
Gadiel had some weird bubbly surface.
- But it tasted better.
- They're both kinda wrong.
(laughing)
- Based on the elements that I'm looking
for out of a souffle, they're pretty close.
But I have to say, Julissa.
(laughing)
- What?
- She took this one.
- In your face!
Wakala, this!
(laughing)
- I couldn't even finish it, guess I did finish it.
- First of all. - But it doesn't
have a protein aftertaste.
- Gadiel just take it fair and square that you loss.
- [Alex] You also used a hand mixer
when you were supposed to fold.
- I only fold my clothes.
- For 350, you also put it for 350
when it specifically said 375.
- No, I put it 375.
She was my lifeline.
- So, goes to show by one.
And guess what, I didn't use a lifeline.
- Not in my book, she lobstered my book.
- I mean, you probably coulda still used the lifeline.
- Alex.
- You know what, at least we did great.
This is delicious and it was fun to do it.
If we had the video there, how different
it would have came out.
- Yeah, souffle is one of the hardest thing you can make.
- It was hard.
- So you guys should both be very proud of yourselves.
- It was actually really hard.
I was saying it was easy, but I was lying.
Good job, Gadiel.
Good job, you too Julissa.
- Mmhm. - Mmhm.
(laughing)
