I love watching you recreate things that you like making! I love that nobody is throwing things at you, and that you're not in starburst hell! I also didn't get to have many of these packaged foods as a kid, so I don't have skin in the game otherwise 😂
When i was a kid it was "How it's made", in my 20's it was "Gourmet makes", thank you for indulging my need to deconstruct things and starting this series once again!
So happy to have these revived. The one aspect that would be great to have back is seeing others try the results. Whether it be the crew, husband or random friends with cooking experience. It was always great seeing peoples reactions to Claire's creations in addition to her tasting notes and analysis.
I do miss the added personalities and comments by her coworkers at BA, but knowing what they all went through its nice to see Claire fully in her element and relaxed
But there was something magical to seeing Claire get defeated by tempered chocolate and then roar back to knock it out at the end. Totally love the extra educational parts in this version though.
I really loved the Gourmet Makes editing, I really didn't like Claire being visibly suffering all the time. 😅 This is great, and I definitely don't mind the less production-heavy editing.
I still remember all the Claire videos where she looked like she was always 15 seconds from breaking down. I am here for the Claire that is calmer, more in control of her kitchen. This is the content we need in 2024.
No... im not criticizing her 😑 not at all. idk how u got that from my comment I'm just worried, and i love her, and if she's dealing with anything health wise, I'd like for me and others to show her support
I'm so happy that you've managed to find a way to revive this series after the trauma of Gourmet Makes and BA. You seem a lot more comfortable in this environment being able to recreate stuff and much less stressed over it. I hope this series ends up being something you can just let loose and have a lot of fun with 💖
@@Skylyned the one who now makes content for NYTcooking and has suffered zero negative consequences? can't bear to watch her vids though I love NYT cooking
I remember I used to watch these videos Claire did back in 2019 in my first year of college. At the time, I was majoring in nursing, but I knew that wasn’t what I wanted to do. Now, I’m in my fifth year of college and I’m majoring in food science where I do exactly what she does in my R&D roles. I really enjoy it and hope to do more in my future career!!
These are like a much better grown up version of cosmic brownies. They have a similar consistency. ruclips.net/video/t-Z9CLIWlxM/видео.htmlsi=d8eeN0-BlAZoN9_-
I would love to see you recreate Lofthouse Cookies (the frosted cakey grocery store cookies)! There are a lot of recipes online but none of them seem to capture the very unique crumb of the original
I love how things come out more home made. Don't worry about making things look exactly like the factory made piece. There's a charm to homemade side of it.
Thanks for bringing back the reaction idea. It's so fun, it suits you so well. I've followed some of your stuff here (bought a griddle because of your breakfast sandwich video), but seeing you deconstruct something and then improve it is truly magical.
I love seeing Claire's fundamental understanding of the technical components of baking. Its so cool to hear her talk about the steps of the process and how they lead to result she's trying to create (like the tighter crumb). Super fun, glad that she is able to make these videos in a better environment!
My suggestion is Claire recreates something SHE really wants to do! She was subjected to so many things she wasn’t really into at BA. I want her to have more choice.
Thinking about all the ways Claire could elevate a Star Crunch and am SALIVATING! It's already delicious, but imagine: Better cookie! Better caramel! Better chocolate! Crispy rice cereal! Incredible.
I cannot describe how much I love deconstructions from a professional. Nilered, Claire, Summoningsalt, etc. all are creators that highlight why RUclips is a great platform for curious and ambitious people. So glad to see the gourmet makes back
Those are such a guilty pleasure of mine! But let's be honest, the strawberry crunch part on the outside of the bar is the best part, I could eat it by the spoonful.
Yes that was always one of my favorite parts too! I would love to see how you would improve the middle fruit section too! It would be a great challenge I think 😊
we always made a fake strawberry crumb at my old job that was crushed freeze dried strawberries and golden oreos. I'm sure claire will make hers by scratch but its good in a pinch
hey claire! i’ve been following along your journey on youtube for quite some time but have never commented. first of all i just want to thank you for everything you are- you’ve been a calm, safe place for alone time for many years lol! Not to mention a massive inspiration in my cooking and baking. I missed your recreation videos so so much, so it made me so happy (nearly tearing up no lie.. i feel like i’ve grown up watching you now) to see you bring this concept back with the passion and happiness you seem to have going on with what you have built for yourself. look up to you immensely claire, thank you for making so many of my days l! who knows if you’ll read this but buzzed me rn thinks this is a must do comment lmaoo
I'm so incredibly happy this show is back. I love the new intro too! Feels really fitting. The slightly funkier vibe fits the show's vibes much better. I'd love to see some more candy bars eventually. Those were always my favorite episodes. Right combination of challenge and fun.
I really hope she enjoys this.. I feel like there's a difference in her demeanor when she's doing recipes she's made vs trying to recreate another recipe... I'd rather her do the stuff she likes to do than trying to please an audience that doesn't want her to do anything else except for remaking recipes
Petition for Claire to recreate OREO CAKESTERS!! I used to love them when I was a kid, but recently when I tried it OMG were they horrendously sweet. I NEED a Claire Saffitz's version of OREO CAKESTER!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Whoever is on your editing team is great! I love all the little details they put in like the face on your stand mixer and the neat even layers. So good
Claire and everyone who is making this possible thank you so much you have always been one of my comfort creators and I have always loved this series in particular seeing how you make things better it’s so nice to see you bring back the series in the way that you want to and it is so calming and fun to watch!!
Definitely! The old Gourmet Majes episodes were sometimes stressful to watch as I could tell that she was under a lot of pressure, especially the snacks like skittles! :( These are so much more chill and it’s much more relaxing to watch.
I love that even though she didn’t want to try it (and didn’t like it when she did) she still really tasted every part and was very thoughtful on its construction.
I love these videos. I love the home setting, the more lowkey energy. I LOVE the guys behind the camera coming in with comments. I love the editing - the little faces put on things, the graphics... just a great series and we are only on episode 2.
You could try Red Lobsters Chedder Bay biscuits, I'm guessing they'd be pretty simple but there is something about that taste I can't get over. Whenever I make their boxed version I always cook them in a muffin tin so they're uniform
It is the excitotoxin additives - the non food chemical isolates or constituents taken from food like soy protein, pea protein and "natural flavorings" which usually ends up being free glutamic acid - like the G in MSG - they add that excites your brain before destroying brain cells that makes you THINK you love the taste. Research Exitotoxin additives in food. You'll see.
I've re-watched the "gourmet makes" series a few times and although enjoying, I'm enjoying your "Claire Recreates" series more. You seem like you are enjoying this a lot more by having more control over what you are doing, how to do it, and not having the strict structure the previous series had. This is really relaxing to listen to! Looking forward to watching more of these in the future!
I'll take a tasty treat with a little vanilla color over extra stuff for whitening like titanium dioxide. I always learn something when you turn the kitchen into the lab. This time I learned a bit about buttercream AND how to influence crumb size when making a meringue. Fantastic as always, and it still had to be better than pop rocks!
I missed these so much! Claire, you’re so smart! I love watching your mind work! I’ve said it before, but I would love if you made some recipe building and testing videos. I’d love to see your thought process when it comes to creating your own stuff!
100% Agree. It should be faithful - to a point. Like the Drumstick cone size? Doesn't need to be measured with calipers. Zebra Cakes? Right shape and look and composure? Absolutely. A better cake and cream? Why wouldn't you make it better!? Love this, so happy to have it back
Yes to Salsa Sun Chips. I don't care for them, because I know they could taste so much better if deconstructed and reconstructed in a small-batch home kitchen. In theory they ought to be lively, punchy, snappy. Claire resetting these, please?
i love how you analyze and explain your techniques! will i ever use this knowledge myself? probably not. am i gonna keep it in my brain anyways? absolutely
To be honest, you're really not missing anything. The store bought ones are actually disgusting, and I fully recognize that when I eat them, I just have a heavy nostalgia factor that makes me want to eat it even though it's really not great.
I’m glad you brought this series back and did it your way. You look like you’re actually enjoying yourself and the challenge and that makes a better viewing experience.
omg love! so nice to see this format refreshed in a much calmer environment :) I would love to see you try to recreate Tim Tams or a similar (whatever the US equivalent would be) chocolate biscuit!
that "Mmmm" at 22:04 was an amazing editing touch. I could already feel the genuineness from watching Claire but then adding the text on screen really emphasized that the buttercream was gooooood.
my favourite thing is watching the time on the oven in the back and seeing claire get gradually more tired/done with the project. kudos for never giving up though!
Her description was incredibly accurate. Instantly dissolved. Waxy. Fake vanilla and preservative scent. And I was still fondly like "oh yeah I remember those ❤" because I loved them as a kid.
I absolutely love your videos and have avidly watched you for years now! Could you give us your take on a Little Debbie's Oatmeal Cream Pie? I'm lowkey obsessed and would love to try and recreate them at home!!
I saw this really funny reel the other day, where a page that teaches you Chinese phrases was doing a "packing a suitcase" video, where they have you different phrases about packing, and literally every other step was "remove the cat". 😂
I’m never going to ever make any of these recipes, but I really love to see Claire think through the process! It helps me think about my own cooking so these videos are so educational to me.
Love that this series has made a comeback! That said, I'm missing the subtle jazz background noise. Great animations and overall product though! MORE PLEASE
I learned so so so much about food and the details that come with it just by watching this episode alone!! This made my brain so happy and so incredibly entertained and amazed at Claire's knowledge, experience, and skills!
God I just love ypu Claire and miss these good old days so much. Watching an artist, scientist and master at work. You can't beat learning from a baking master. LOVE YOU and thank you for making my favorite treats ever, even though they have 100 ingredients!!!
I misses this series on the channel we don't talk about. Miss the chaos and diverse colleagues. Now let's (and let me) move on and enjoy Claire Recreates!!
I am just so glad Claire is doing this again because this is what put her on the map. Recreating snacks. I was so sad when she stopped doing that when she left the magazine. I'm just so happy she started doing it again.
I would 100% be down for a Star Crunch recreate, one of my favorite childhood snacks. Very simple too, basically just a chocolate rice krispy in the shape of a cookie XD
I've seen three of these now and I'm realizing her interpretation of the taste of the factory versions actually fits my reaction better than how I remember. Rather, for instance, I saw she was doing zebra cakes and I thought, "oh man that's one of my favorite factory snack cakes!" Then she mentioned how ludicrously sweet they are and I thought, "Right, I completely forgot I could only eat like 3 of them before wanting to pass out" and that feeling on the back of your teeth, I forgot about that too. This is my first time seeing her do her thing, wasn't around for BA, but I've read in the comments how much happier she is now. I don't know any difference but I'm really digging the videos. The vibe, the cats, the exacting measurements lol, I'm here for it.
Claire, you single handedly get me to even use RUclips. I haven’t sat and watched anything through since the Test Kitchen at BA episodes. A friend told me you were back at it with recreations and here I am again! Missed these and you! ❤️

starting the recreating series again was one of the best decisions
Balance is literally restored to my universe now this series is back
I thrive on Claire testing her last god damn nerve.
Most likely her contract with bon appetite ran out finally.
@@willbear2173chocolate tempering time.
Absolute best! Now I can curl up and be comforted for 45 mins!
When i was a kid it was "How it's made", in my 20's it was "Gourmet makes", thank you for indulging my need to deconstruct things and starting this series once again!
Honestly this series is so autism-coded, it scratches soooo many of my brain itchies!
The pure joy I felt when I discovered Claire had resurrected 'Gourmet Makes' 🥰
The world is healing
Ikr😁
AMEN!!! I don't cook, I don't bake, but I can watch these videos all day every day!!!!!
🤫 This is "Claire Recreates." 😒 *scans the room for copyright lawyers*

Yes!
this, let vinny and cal eat cake!
Agreed! Vinny and Cal are characters onscreen as much as they are, off!
claire trying to get the measurements exact will never not make me giggle, like she’s SO serious… i love it
neurodivergent queen
She's even using real measurements aka metric system. This is our pastry queen!
I literally love it like the engineering major in me loves the precision of design
These are even better than the BA era. Claire’s more relaxed, and the ratio of education to entertainment is more balanced. Truly loved this episode!
Yes! Just what I was thinking. I also love the kitty shots!
I also love how since its totally her show she can just be like "yeah Im not doing that"
She looks so much happier!
I do miss the added personalities and comments by her coworkers at BA, but knowing what they all went through its nice to see Claire fully in her element and relaxed
But there was something magical to seeing Claire get defeated by tempered chocolate and then roar back to knock it out at the end.
Totally love the extra educational parts in this version though.
I love how chill and not over-produced these videos are. Hard to find content like this in the clickbait / shock value era of youtube 😅
ah you're so right. it's so refreshing to not have boom sound effects and flashing word-per-word subtitles
I really loved the Gourmet Makes editing, I really didn't like Claire being visibly suffering all the time. 😅
This is great, and I definitely don't mind the less production-heavy editing.
Absolutely!
I still remember all the Claire videos where she looked like she was always 15 seconds from breaking down. I am here for the Claire that is calmer, more in control of her kitchen. This is the content we need in 2024.
I know, she was so stressed I feel like it just made it harder for herself to recreate those recipes
Yeah, but somehow, she seems less healthy
Might be in a better place mentally but physically seem to have less energy
@@cleagymeen9465that’s not your place to say
@@Rosebudd68 what do you mean not my place to say

Handing you a delish coffee to help with another edit. Smiles too. 😁
@@SamSolasdonSaolThanks! I probably do need more sleep 😆

That’s the dream it would all come down to mini m&m’s and Claire would take two days on the coating of 6 m&m’s 🤣🤣
Omg literally MY DREAM 🤤
Came to the comments to say exactly this lol
Wait... You called it!!! How'd you know?!
thank you to every single person involved in bringing back claire recreating snacks for youtube videos
i absolutely love how claire sticks to her guns on what she thinks is best, even if it yields unexpected results. her decisiveness is refreshing.
Love when you take a bite of the finished creation but would also really enjoy seeing your crew try them and comment.
Totally agree, we need some crew participation!
We def need tasters. I liked the loud guy from the kitchen, forgot his name tho
@@Ghost1983brad?
@@Ghost1983yeah, no. not him ahahahahaha
deffo! the bits of the crew coming in with comments are so nice, I'd like to see them enjoy the stuff at the end
The happy little hand mixer face when she’s measuring the thickness of the cake is adorable! 13:02
I agree - that was fun! 😁
I was like omg is that Miss Minutes from Loki?
I thought I was tripping when I saw it LMAO
I respect whoever decided to edit that in lol
I am so late to the party to see this video and didn’t think anyone caught it! I’m so glad to see your comment haha
Yes! Please do Oatmeal Creme Pies, and Star Crunch Cakes in future episodes.
Yesss!! Definitely both of those!
Star crunch cakes!! I’d forgotten about those!!
I would legit be fascinated to see her do a better take on Star Crunch
Claire snickering when she has to talk about Little Debbie's Cream Pies.
Sendond-ed. Star Crunch would be so fun and I think the original holds up better by itself than Zebra Cakes :D
The editing from Cal and Vinny is so good!! Love seeing the dream team back together for this.
I love this era because Claire doesn't look ten seconds away from a breakdown at all times. I love this for her!!
I love that this new version is about making something *better* instead of stressing out Claire in an attempt to recreate junk food exactly as-is
It is nice to see her so calm. I feel like Gourmet Makes often left her very drained...
Yes for sure.
Or a part 1 and part 2 where first she recreates it and then after she elevates it
@@sarahtuna7196 like Babish?
@@ImAlsoMerobiba does he already do that? I haven't been watching him lately
I would love to see you recreate Lofthouse Cookies (the frosted cakey grocery store cookies)! There are a lot of recipes online but none of them seem to capture the very unique crumb of the original
Claire’s back teeth would fall out from the sugar! But I agree- these would be an excellent cookie to recreate.
In my experiments I found that adding sour cream gets it close to that iconic cakey consistency!
Yes! They seem really hard to replicate without industrial ingredients/processes. the frosting also has a very interesting texture
ethically sourced gourmet makes 🙌
So much better! I love how helpful and encouraging the film crew is. And that comparison shot! So perfect.
I love how things come out more home made. Don't worry about making things look exactly like the factory made piece. There's a charm to homemade side of it.

Thinking about all the ways Claire could elevate a Star Crunch and am SALIVATING! It's already delicious, but imagine: Better cookie! Better caramel! Better chocolate! Crispy rice cereal! Incredible.
Star crunches were my favorite by a landslide! She should definitely try those!
I wanna make those!!! Those are my favorite but they still kinda suck lmao
Me: thinking I thought of Star Crunch first lol
PLEASE. I miss these.
Totally agree with Vinny on moon pies! Id love to see how you recreate the marshmallow filling!
The vanilla extract squeeze bottle is a major flex
I cannot describe how much I love deconstructions from a professional. Nilered, Claire, Summoningsalt, etc. all are creators that highlight why RUclips is a great platform for curious and ambitious people. So glad to see the gourmet makes back
Do Swiss Rolls!
This series is so lovely. I have missed this kind of content and it warms my soul to see this.

the store bought ones are gross, don’t worry you aren’t missing out😭
To be honest, you're really not missing anything. The store bought ones are actually disgusting, and I fully recognize that when I eat them, I just have a heavy nostalgia factor that makes me want to eat it even though it's really not great.
I’m glad you brought this series back and did it your way. You look like you’re actually enjoying yourself and the challenge and that makes a better viewing experience.
omg love! so nice to see this format refreshed in a much calmer environment :) I would love to see you try to recreate Tim Tams or a similar (whatever the US equivalent would be) chocolate biscuit!
I love when you recreate iconic snacks/candies ❤ I watch these after a stressful and long days at work in the kitchen 🥹🥲 keep going!! 😊
Have you ever made koeksisters? It's a South African dessert. Basically plaited dough deep fried and dunked in cold syrup! It's incredible 🤤🤤🤤
that "Mmmm" at 22:04 was an amazing editing touch. I could already feel the genuineness from watching Claire but then adding the text on screen really emphasized that the buttercream was gooooood.
i'd love to see claire's take on some of the korean bakery stuff all over yt.
These were my favorite lil debbie snack growing up. This was the kind I'd put in my lunchbox for a treat
my favourite thing is watching the time on the oven in the back and seeing claire get gradually more tired/done with the project. kudos for never giving up though!
My absolute favorite snack.
Cant find them in Ontario anymore so definitely going to tey making them!
love the dramatic music during the testing
Her description was incredibly accurate. Instantly dissolved. Waxy. Fake vanilla and preservative scent. And I was still fondly like "oh yeah I remember those ❤" because I loved them as a kid.
I came here to say this too
Claire should design her own line of little baked snacks. Whether they went in to production or not, it could be a fun challenge. I'd watch!!
the return of the dramatic music while she's doing a test really healed my soul
LOVE that you’re reclaiming this format (and doing it sooo much better while you’re at it)
I absolutely love your videos and have avidly watched you for years now! Could you give us your take on a Little Debbie's Oatmeal Cream Pie? I'm lowkey obsessed and would love to try and recreate them at home!!
A recreates episode with both Claire and guest star Sohla would make my year
I love the repeated Deposit Cat Somewhere Else sequences 😆
I saw this really funny reel the other day, where a page that teaches you Chinese phrases was doing a "packing a suitcase" video, where they have you different phrases about packing, and literally every other step was "remove the cat". 😂
I guarantee that the titanium dioxide is used as a white food coloring. It's pretty common in mass-produced baked goods to get that pure white color
And dairy
I’m never going to ever make any of these recipes, but I really love to see Claire think through the process! It helps me think about my own cooking so these videos are so educational to me.
These are my favorite and only Little Debbie treats that I will buy. They are moist, taste like cake with yummy frosting!
Oh the joy and happiness I felt. It's such a delight to have Claire go into how things are made and relarking them. Can't wait!
Love that this series has made a comeback! That said, I'm missing the subtle jazz background noise. Great animations and overall product though! MORE PLEASE
Lol I am reminded we grew up in different tax brackets every time Claire does one of these and has no memory of the snack in her childhood
When she said none of her friends ate them 😂 lol can’t relate
I learned so so so much about food and the details that come with it just by watching this episode alone!! This made my brain so happy and so incredibly entertained and amazed at Claire's knowledge, experience, and skills!
God I just love ypu Claire and miss these good old days so much. Watching an artist, scientist and master at work. You can't beat learning from a baking master. LOVE YOU and thank you for making my favorite treats ever, even though they have 100 ingredients!!!
“But mostly, there’s just a lot of stuff in here that I don’t want to eat” is so relatable 😂
I misses this series on the channel we don't talk about. Miss the chaos and diverse colleagues. Now let's (and let me) move on and enjoy Claire Recreates!!
More than our suggestion, i think we would prefer seeing you recreate your favourite snacks. You having fun is indeed viewer's choice 😁
I am just so glad Claire is doing this again because this is what put her on the map. Recreating snacks. I was so sad when she stopped doing that when she left the magazine. I'm just so happy she started doing it again.
its so nice seeing claire do this series again under low stress in her own home !!
I would 100% be down for a Star Crunch recreate, one of my favorite childhood snacks. Very simple too, basically just a chocolate rice krispy in the shape of a cookie XD
She brought back the parenthesis/close parenthesis bit! Life is good again!!! 😄
I am so happy this series is back 😭
I've seen three of these now and I'm realizing her interpretation of the taste of the factory versions actually fits my reaction better than how I remember. Rather, for instance, I saw she was doing zebra cakes and I thought, "oh man that's one of my favorite factory snack cakes!" Then she mentioned how ludicrously sweet they are and I thought, "Right, I completely forgot I could only eat like 3 of them before wanting to pass out" and that feeling on the back of your teeth, I forgot about that too. This is my first time seeing her do her thing, wasn't around for BA, but I've read in the comments how much happier she is now. I don't know any difference but I'm really digging the videos. The vibe, the cats, the exacting measurements lol, I'm here for it.
Claire, you single handedly get me to even use RUclips. I haven’t sat and watched anything through since the Test Kitchen at BA episodes. A friend told me you were back at it with recreations and here I am again! Missed these and you! ❤️
YES! please more of this, make this a series.
