I've made Alvin's 100-hour brownie and baked three versions: (1) Immediately after making the batter...they were somewhat bitter. (2) One day before the baking was to take place...they were more mellow and I tasted more of the brown butter and expresso, and (3) after the full time in the fridge. Fully bloomed flavors of espresso, deep chocolate, browned butter, and only a slight slight bitterness. Totally worth the effort!
Now THIS is the data we need! Bless you for doing the research
Thank you!
Thanks Shelley for trying the three version and let us know the difference!!!! 😍I am sure that sooooo many people are curious about this!!!
@@beckysfoodhuntdiary You're very welcome! TBH, it wasn't a hassle at all, just a delightfully tasty experiment!!!
@@JoshFlorii He overcooked the tasty ones too 😭
Alvin's 100 hour brownie feels like something you'd have in a luxury restaurant, that's made in large volume and then served for days from the same batch because it would keep for weeks without spoiling.
Then realize it wasn’t worth all the effort and you overpaid for espresso tasting brownies.
I made these and can confirm they’re basically a solid bar of ganache, it lasted over a week in the fridge LMAO but so worth the effort 🤤
that sounds more like a cheap caterers than a luxury restaurant
@@theoutsiderspost4982 If you were eating at a high class restaurant, you won't be worry as much about the price...
I've made 100 hour brownies & 100 hour lasagna a bunch of times. It's kind of making my regular food seem bland.
The coffee ice cube Alvin adds to his browned butter isn't just for flavor, it's also to compensate for the moisture that was evaporated out of the butter when it was browned. You could use ice, but coffee adds an extra kick. I love Alvin's videos, glad you included his brownie recipe!
@KILEY KITTRIDGE I haven't watched all of David Seymour's videos. Thanks for letting my know!
Yes I understand the coffee brings out the flavor of the chocolate as well
Other than in ice form how could we incorporate coffee into our brownies?
@@GG-vi6pv Well, you could add instant espresso powder to your brownies. I’ve done that, it adds a nice light coffee flavor and it also punches up the chocolate flavor!
@@mollyscozykitchen4693 ok thanks Im making brownies today so I’ll try it
Lasagne showdown:
Binging with Babish’s lasagne, Joshua Weissmans lasagne, Sam the cooking guy’s lasagne and Alvin Zhou’s 100 hour lasagne
Also add in Ragusea's 3 day lasagna
@@GirishManjunathMusic hmm then one of the other recipes would have to go he does four each time
Joshua would already say he won. Even though his recipes are overhyped and not all that innovative. He just takes a base of so wind rides recipe and adds to it v
You forgot Matty Mathensons Guaranteed To get you laid-lasagne
@@cheese5731 nah if we get 8 we can get a two-parter, or even a 4 parter maybe with a secondary face-off. Top two and bottom two from each session against each other, maybe.
David blushing while fanboying about Claire was freaking adorable
simping*
totally biased against babish
@@Scrubdi Man you virgins keep outing yourselves these days, takes the fun out of guessing.
@@ProfessorOfCookies wtf
@@ProfessorOfCookies i think you're just projecting, which I'm not even mad about, but if you're gonna try to argue then can you say something relevant? It makes you look dumb
Edit: you're even subscribed to babish too wtf
No it wasn't.
Babish's turned out dry because you used Dutch process cocoa in a recipe with baking powder. You can use normal cocoa with baking powder, or Dutch process with baking soda. Otherwise you get that weird dry texture.
Actually you can use Dutch process cocoa with baking powder and you must use baking soda with natural cocoa to neutralize its acidity (that's what can dry any baked goods), Dutch process it's already neutralized. I think the brownies were dry because of the flour, because the chewy texture comes more from the sugar than anything else.
@@laurachavez5559 what do you mean by dutch cocoa is neutralized? i thought it was alkalized cocoa ?
@@walklikearobot By alkalizing a naturally acidic product it ends up more neutral
Yes, dutched cocoa with baking powder and regular cocoa with baking soda which will react with it. Therefore, David did not use the incorrect cocoa and his comments re the taste of the Babish brownies are on point.
@@CelestialScribbler i had to look up the ph of both, hahha, for some reason i thought it was at least slightly alkaline but nope, it really is about 7 😂
I love how Tasty's and Alvin's recipe were both made by Alvin and made the top spots
Someone else said the same, how do you know? Tasty’s video doesn’t say that
@@eeejay235 Tasty has a video where Alvin goes in depth on how he made them, whenever I put the link it automatically deletes my comment but it’s called “How To Make The Best Fudge Brownie Recipe With Alvin • Tasty”
@@medmac2112 when u tried to put the link in did something red pop up?
@@NatalieKKim No, but my comment disappeared after about a minute.
@@medmac2112 i commented the link before you commented only to find out my comment got deleted. I got an error warning before i posted it but i thought the disappearing and the message were just a lagging problem. Anyways, thx for unintentionally letting me know abt how links can get deleted.
I like the part where he was simping for Claire. So genuine and adorable
Also relatable
I dont think simping means what you think it means buddy
@@DimT670 i mean... if Claire made an onlyfans where she just baked and did gourmet makes like she did for b.a. id buy it.
@@DimT670 People have intentionally changed the meaning tbh to fight back against the whole “cringe” thing
@@hannahofhorror No I'd argue most people just misunderstand it's meaning
As a scientist, I love love love your scientific approach to this! Keeping all ingredients constant, and also the thought of comparing Alvin's brownie recipes immediately vs a day vs 4 days - very much like planning a scientific experiment! You're awesome, David
now the only thing left to do is doing this in duplo and let someone else taste it ;)
It’s called a “control”
All he needs now are ungarnished versions of each recipe & an assistant for him to do a blind triangle tasting in comparing one against another.
What kind of scientist are you? A serious question
@emmymadeinjapan did the same day vs 100 day brownie comparison.
Emmymade baked the brownies off immediately as a test and she said it was strong and tasted mostly of coffee
Her channel name is emmymade now
Yea i would guess so too.
That's why it needs time in the fridge to mellow out
Emmy made a test batch of brownies baked off immediately, instead of after 3 days, of Alvin's recipe! She mentioned that the espresso taste was really overpowering in the asap batch, and mellowed out in the 100 hour one.
Adam Ragusea didn't spend a whole week scientifically deducing how to make the perfect brownie to go out like this
🤣
Adam Ragusea is a little baby who can't take criticism.
@@ryanscoots21 how so?
@@ryanscoots21 so you just gonna come on and say whatever with no further backup i see.
Inb4 the RUclips cooking creator wars
Claire's forever brownies knocked Tasty's out of my rotation. The only thing I changed from hers is I use semi sweet for the whole thing, and I don't bother with the water bath. Also don't skip the refrigeration step! It's a game changer. I usually add a bit of cinnamon because I'm weird like that.
Same pinch! Even I add cinnamon. My daughter, who bakes with me, told me Tasty's weren't as flavourful (and we don't add the malted milk in Claire's). Tasty's is a good basic brownie, but not exceptional. The other one is Handle the Heat's - absolutely gorgeous and fudgy.
Tonka beans! (not a whole bean though!)
David: "some of these recipes are insane!!!"
*shows a clip of clare adding a normal amount of flour to her brownie batter*
David, Alvin, Claire, Babish
*Four horsemen of the browniepocalypse*
You and Kim jong un are on every video I watch 😁
I literally scrolled to look for your comment before watching the video lol. A big hello from Puerto Rico!
@Batgames
Adam is the God of the Brownie Skin though.
@@anirudhviswanathan3986 yes
senor avery i have seen you everywhere since the last 4 years, back when your youtube channel name was different. are we soulmates?
Alvin has so much talent and skill in the kitchen it’s just mind blowing. It’s easily Michelin star level obsession to create really luxurious recipes
Just because I want to see you suffer: try making macarons with different peoples methods
Erin from Food52, Sugar Bean, and Preppy Kitchen :)
I’m pretty sure almond flour is something he can’t have. Lol. But I guess he can try to substitute ground pumpkin seeds. :)
Babish and Food Wishes as well
A good one to add is The Scran Line! He made macrons idiot proof for me.
And Adam Ragusea's yelling-at-us-macarons 😂😂😂
Yeah with David's nut allergies that's not happening. The only macaron we should challenge him to test is Ann Reardon's nut free one- which is chocolate based!
David talking about Claire is adorable
The add in of the butter and chocolate with all the dry ingredients coats every single little "piece" of flour, making the gluten development a little harder to happen. This means that you'll have a super tender and moist cake with a delicious soft bite to it :)
Implementing the concept with the tasty recipe could work well
I saw that tiny whisk for Babish's recipe. :P
I am surprised Adam wasn’t here due to his 3 videos related to brownies, however still a great video David.
Adam is extremely underrated
I tried adams brownies, amazing texture, too sweet though
@@CatsPajamas23 why my friend?
Lucy Horikawa Really, I didn’t think they were to sweet. The cocoa powder and brown butter cut the sweetness. Did you use Dutch processed cocoa? (I skipped the optional chocolate chips)
@@lucyhorikawa7003 I agree, too sweet because of the condensed milk I’m assuming
You gonna leave my boy Adam Ragusea out when he JUST made a brownie recipe and you've already done some of these?
I think it has more to do with the type of brownie. Adams is meant to be a chewy brownie, so they would def start behind in this comparison
@@MsSagittariusA he had a fudgy variation option i think. Mentioned it in the vid
EXACTLY. Thank you!
@@melaninqueen1286 the fudge variation was just the chewy version slightly under baked.
@@justtheletterV274 no, he made two versions of the recipe with varying amounts of flour.
You should try making everyone’s beef Wellington: gordon ramsay, inga, joshua, etc!
He's already done Gordon's.
, so has everyone else including Inga and Joshua etc
We all know who would win
It would be fun to see david try it!!
Alvin made beef wellington
Am I the only one raising their eyebrows everytime he says "dark chocolate" but then places semi-sweet chocolate on the counter?
semi-sweet is a type of dark chocolate
No. You’re not alone.
some semi-sweet chocolates have over 50% cocoa
I was looking for this comment!!
I don't know how you label this in the US, but i assume it's dark chocolate as opposed to milk chocolate.
The glop of the Tasty brownie batter that he missed got a good laugh out of me.
That shade about science and pancakes... stop it 😭 Ann is an actual food scientist. We love her!
I would’ve loved to see all of these compared to a box brownie.
I'm sure he respects
Never thought I would see the day of babish coming last
I made Clair’s brownies but substituted out the milk chocolate for chopped roasted hazelnuts. It definitely mellows out the sweetness and makes them prefect - to me at least
Best brownie recipe I’ve ever made was from America’s Test Kitchen. You should try some of their stuff.
Yes! Great idea!
Babish’s recipe is basically identical to the ATK recipe.
I love their shows and recipes. I cook with many of their recipes. I always use their sweet potato pie recipe. Their brownie recipe is good as well.
I made Tasty's brownie recipe but used Alvin's trick of wrapping in foil and putting in freezer/fridge straight away. They were so good!
Here for David's crush on Claire.
I've actually made the Tasty version for a few years now and honestly don't even need to try any other recipe. It's simply fantastic as is.
This is a weird thing to say but David's nose is so cute. It's like perfectly triangular and pink.
This is exactly what I needed after my day! Love you videos so much lately ❤️❤️
You showed up on my recommended and I LOVE your style. No excessive intro or talking, straight to the point, and ever though you spend days making all of these recipes the distilled version is concise and easy to understand. I think you're going to keep growing if you keep up your style :)
I LOVE brownies. Not the cakey gross ones in the store. The gooey, fudgy ones that even the corners have a great chew on them. I love Alvin but I don't have the patience to wait that long and pay that much to make brownies. I saw a Tik Tok recipe recently that made Oreo ravioli. That might be interesting to try.
Gosh, i would love to see David make this, even if i wouldn't
I love how everyone agrees that Alvin's videos are emotional experiences
I really do appreciate your attempts to be scientific here by reducing the variables as much as possible. This type of comparison video is elevated tremendously by that choice. Your content is very entertaining!
Making the 100 hour brownie is definitely worth it for special occasions.
For an everyday thing I’d go with Tasty
I feel like there should be more Chef John on here. How about some banana pudding
Yesss this comment needs cayenne
Chef John’s recipes are actually some of best. I’ve made a lot of them and he has a real one. None of this extra crap and he actually has good taste buds and makes his recipes accordingly.
@@theoutsiderspost4982 yes! He is the best ❤️
I legit read the title as "I tested everyones FUNNY brownies"
'Tis the season, I suppose

alvin's looks like it deserves a scoop of extra high quality vanilla ice cream on the side
Your ingredients and techniques are what I'm using right now on baking my brownies.. I loved it! Thank you!
3:02 the kosher salt shows the exact state my mental health is in: at the edge.
What so great about brownies IMO is that the recipes are so flexible. Claire is really the queen of small flavor profile additions (like the malt) that just change the flavor profile enough to make it unique. I think Claire's recipe is the winner for me just without the milk chocolate chips (maybe sub semi-sweet or leave out) and then some instant expresso powder when adding the malt in for a little extra kick. Maybe even steal the brown butter and coffee trick from Alvin's recipe. Love it
I’m eating brownies while watching this! 😋
Alvins vid is art.
I have made the 100 hour brownies a few times and I love them. I can tell you that I got impatient while waiting my second time making it and baked the brownies after only a day. the brownie flavor was just too strong with all the coffee and chocolate flavors. It wasn’t very good to be completely honest. Defiantly letting it sit for that long of time really let’s the flavor become cohesive. And the last day of putting it fridge after it bakes just makes the texture of the brownie that much better (compared to letting it cool at room temp right away after baking). I’m going to have to try the tasty brownies so that I have another go to recipe for brownies that don’t take me 4 days lol
You should try Adam Ragusea's condensed milk brown butter brownies. I made them twice and they were so good. The condensed milk and brown butter really make a difference.
Yes they are literally the best ones I’ve ever had
Omg this sounds amazing
It’s currently 3:50 am in Turkey. I am thinking about brownies...
Things that live rent free in my head no.6: the way David's voice changes when he is reading out the ingredients and one of them is surprising
Eeeee i'm so glad you did this! i remember months ago i was hoping you'd try the 100 hour brownies
If you do end up doing another chicken parm vid which was on your poll , you should add preppy kitchen , he does loads of normal everyday recipes which are great for these cook offs
Best cooking channel on RUclips never fails to make me smile
I’ve been waiting for this video for way too long
urgh finally😩😍 been waiting since i saw ur instagram story yesterday
I've said it before and I'll say it again
We need a sticky bun ranking video!!
He did not just call Claire happy and cheerful... did he even watch gourmet makes? Lol love her though
Her new series on her Dessert Person channel is very much happy and cheerful
@@ArloMathis half the time she acts like she hates being there
@@TheSimplyCooking im pretty sure thats just how she talks
Lol how do you act when you have to do a job you hate for months??
@@TheSimplyCooking If you had to work with that insufferable piece of crap Chris Morrocco you would hate it too.
u know its getting bad again when it's after midnight and u are here... I am here as well u are not alone and u got this! I believe in you!! much love
Thank you so much for making this video
It’s all about Joshua Weismann’s fudge brownies!! So simple and a family favourite
I’m surprised you didn’t include Joshua wisemans fudgy brownies
But... that 100 hr brownie recipe bomb. It’s worth the time it takes to make it 🤤
Because Josh would pop up in the video and claim victory before he tasted it.
I LOOOVE those brownies but those are borderline poisonous for you. A piece of that brownie has like 2 ounces of sugar in it.
The love and admiration of Claire is just 👌
I love this video series that you do! I want to make some of these chefs’ recipes but I never know which one to make so these are a lifesaver
Give this man some credit. He gotta whole sign saying brownie showdown in the back
Follow up video : Comparing between 100 hour brownies vs Baking it right away!
5:41 “a bar of dark chocolate” *sets down semi sweet chocolate*
I love that Alvin made 2 of these recipes
Next time you do brownies, I highly recommend you add Adam Ragusea's Condensed Milk brownies. They are amazing! My fave brownies by far
Totally Agree!
Agreed! I won't watch this video until Dave makes a part-2 follow up in which he also follows Adam's recipe. Adam's recipe is seriously the one brownie recipe to rule all brownie recipes.
@@DHM91 I made them and I would have to agree!!
And John Kanell
This man made 4 brownie recipies without any complains while my lazy ass can’t even reach for the tv remote
David is really putting in the work with this one... Great job David ♥️
Knowing I’ve known u since years and omg THE PROGRESS!!!!!!
Adam Ragusea's recipe would've been cool to see here. He did a whole series about brownie skin
The brown butter brownies from Adam Ragusea are also pretty darn good.
i love the addition of tiny whisk for the babish recipe, cute reference :3
This is the video I’ve been waiting for. ✨✨
Adam Raguseas brownies are my go-to recipe. It’s perfect.
Thank you, thank you. I prefer Tasty’s brownies to Claire’s, but I do like the milk chocolate she added. I add 3 ounces of milk with the 4 ounces of dark chocolate at the end. I also cook halfway and then remove from the oven for 15 minutes and then return to the oven until done. (This is from Alton Brown.). They are absolutely fantastic. I would never have found the Tasty recipe if not for your channel. 🥰🥰
I legit cannot find a version of the Tasty recipe where it specifies that the butter should be unsalted, so I *super* appreciate you being specific when you listed your ingredients. The fact that you've made them so many times and they turn out so well gives me some serious confidence I can do it too.
Thanks for doing this
My man Adam Ragusea made a whole series on brownies and brownie skin. And my guy Dave literally skipped him!!!
I thought the same thing!
The Tasty brownies are my go-to as well, they are always a hit whenever I do them.
I'm kinda tempted to try some of the tips from the other recipes in the Tasty recipe. Browned butter with the coffee ice cube to stop any burning. Malted milk powder. Espresso powder. Leaving the tray in the fridge either overnight or even just a few hours to see what happens.
Tell me how it goes!
I do a variation on Adam Ragusea's sweetened condensed milk brownies. The recipe is mostly the same besides a few minor tweaks, but the big change comes from what *I* do with the sweetened condensed milk... I simmer it. Yup, I simmer cans of sweetened condensed milk for several hours until I have cans of dulce de leche that I add directly into the mix... They are sinfully delicious.
Yesssssss. I'm zooted, time to binge food videos.
Preppy kitchen? Would love to see you review his although they always turn out perfect for me so maybe there is no point 🤔
Let's not forget, Adam Ragusea's deep dive into brownie skins yielded some nice fudgy brownie results too!
I appreciate the tiny whisk on babish’s brownies
Alvin is just always on another level.
He's basically a Food Wars protagonist, the extra lengths he goes to to add flavor in every single step of the process yet end in completely cohesive flavor is just insane.
That said, I will never want to spend the money or effort he does, so I'll probably never actually taste his food.
Preppy kitchen I would love to see you do
cute glasses David ! never really noticed them before, they suit you well :~)
Charming commentary, man - nice to watch! And we love Claire, too, btw :))
Ohhh man. I hadn't seen your channel or Alvin's before today, but that shot of the inside of Alvin's brownies has me convinced to try them.
Adam Ragusea has hands down the best brownie recipe I have ever baked!!
Hey, love your videos from Trinidad 🇹🇹!
Same!🇹🇹🌴
you know david....i never really said anything like this, but i really appreciate what you do especially when you compare recipes it just makes my life that much easier and i didnt want to take it for granted so thank you x
i only used dark chocolate and skipped the malted milk powder in claire's recipe, and they turned out PHENOMENAL
my guy really called alvins finished product “a money shot” 😂
Hi David, can you make a vid comparing different perogi to see which one is the best
Omggg it’s been so long since I’ve seen you on my recommended page 😭
this is the first vid ive seen of yours! so cool!
