4 Levels of Waffles: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2024
- We challenged chefs of three different levels - an amateur, a home cook and a professional chef - to make their versions of waffles. And then we brought in a food scientist to review their work. Which waffles were the best?
Check out the professional's recipe here on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/blog/belgian-waff...

She's a Level 1.5 chef: she made a batter not from a mix!
IKR but Steven would put pancakes into his mix
Using a mix should be actually level 0 hahaha
Zaid Elite counter clockwise
Maybe she is the best amateur cooker
Emily would get storebought batter and put a ton of ketchup in it.
Let’s be honest, the moment Bianca didn’t pull out a box of waffle mix she was over qualified for level 1
I thought the same thing lol
Honestly
i thought so too!!
I agree!
I would be lying if I didn’t agree
the level one chef really had the NERVE not to put a whole cheesecake in her batter😤
melanie c. Well I guess she better than that level 1 chef in the pancake video
Farouk Mebarki r/whoosh
I'm proud of myself for understanding this reference XD
I edited this comment because everyone here is low marketed
WitheredForce4 r/woosh
Level 0 chef: First I pull the eggo waffles out of the freezer. Then I pry them apart with a butter knife because they’re most likely freezer burnt...
Camille Robinson 😂😂😂😂
@Adhrit Shrivastava r/woooosh
Adhrit Shrivastava sis, freezer burnt means that the food in the package has ice crystals on it, common on eggo products. You can also find the same effect on various ice cream bars/popsicles
Adhrit Shrivastava 🤦♀️
@@CreativeDirector65 it's actually called, icey ouchie
Level 1 - A nice home cooked meal.
Level 2 - Great food with a side of maniacal laughter
Level 3 - Breakfast will be ready in 2 days.
Lmao true
Maniacal laughter... *I like it*
😂
Username 606 Level one- if u have around 30-45 mins.
Level 2- if u have around 1-2 hrs.
Level 3- 1 day for batter to set and 1 day for sauce to make.
Roger Babin lmao
Level 1: doesn't put cheesecake in the waffles
Everyone: *impossible*
WHERES STEVEEEEEEN AAAAAAHHH!!!!!*mad dinosaur noises*
I'm right here. :
I got that reference
Ugh that was AWFUL
Level 1: doesn’t add Cheesecake
Me: where’s the cheesecake ??
Level 1 chef and level 3 chef: *calmly explains what they're doing.*
Lorenzo: giggles like a maniac every 2 milliseconds
It's called charm...no matter how obnoxious
And that's pure charm, my friend
Thats what makes these videos watchable and entertaining !
I'm only here for Lorenzo
@@nataliebarber4287 same
The food scientist is so smart, imagine when she turns 13
@Elijah ASMR That's the joke...
@Elijah ASMR It's okay. I'm just trying to save you from the "r/woooosh" idiots.
@Elijah ASMR Anybody who mentions the subreddit a comment would fall under is the worst person. Especially if they go "If this gets on [so and so], can I be in the picture?'.
Elijah ASMR fr?????
@Elijah ASMR r/woooosh lmao
Level one chef: *makes batter without a store bought mix*
Everyone:Wait... That's illegal
thats Emily “uhhh i use the box kind hEhE”
@@jorgenvonstrangle000 She adds ketchup, as well.
In my country aren't even box mixes
@@jasmintea8825 Same
HonestlyCookie there bags, not boxes
"but it is edible" - all level 1 chefs
"I'm no Julia Child" - them too probably
me when i try to prove to my mom that i can cook
LOL
I felt that
@wmfivethree That bothered me so much!!! Ugh the lack of grammar these days...
Epicurious staff: Lorenzo, we’d like to make you a level three chef.
Lorenzo: Heeheehahahehahaha
Staff: Is that a yes or a no...?
Lorenzo: Hahehhahehahhshdhahhehah!
Staff: Okay then... you’ll just stay a level two chef. Lorenzo: HAHEHHAHEHEHAHHEHAHHSFHHEHWHEHAHAHAHAHEHAHHEHAHHEHAHEHWHEHAHEHHAHEHWHAHEHSHHEHAHAHBEHEHWHAHEHHEHAHAHWHQHWHHEHWHAHEHHEHWHAHEHEHWHHA
That's why I like him, he is funny.
I’m happy you didn’t include nobody:
There’s been enough of that this year and last year
Hey! Don’t do Lorenzo like that!
😂😂😂😂☠
FCK, I DIED LAUGHING 😭😭
Level 1: 30 mins
Level 2: 1 hour
Level 3: wErE gOnna LeT thAt siT ovErniGhT
I’m not gonna wait overnight for an waffle. Just no-
@@clxoudyvibess4012 at least with waffles over night can make sense if you want it for breakfast but many of these other videos that need overnight it overcomplicates things.
@@davidreddick3016 fax
🤣😂
Level 3 is really unnecessary and full of BS
This level 1 chef is actually quite good, and this level 3 chef had an amazing recipe and still felt nice, helpful and approachable.
And who doesn't like Lorenzo? Perfect trio!
owlnemo I agree with you!
Hehe, yeah, I get what you mean. I like Bianca too. But who doesn't miss Emily some bit? While the other presented Level 1 Chefs are fine, she was/is such a cutie. The ketchup monstrosity has become a meme of this channel.
Now we need the original food scientist and everything would be perfect
i don't
I hate Lorenzo
She one of the only professional chefs to call herself a level 3 chef rather than say how long she’s been baking.
Frank said it when he did the meatballs (even though he was on it before) and Barbara said it when she did the omelette. I personally think it's interesting to hear their experience backgrounds when they say they've been at it for X amount of years. I found out that Simm Cass had baked all over the world cause of that. 😊
@@BANDANA960 exactly! It's far more interesting to know for how long they've been cooking. Like that one chef that made the pizza. He's been cooking since 1974! 2 years before my own mom was born lol
I think there's nothing wrong with being proud of their hardwork and experience in their fields. 🙂
Frank
She looks pretty young, mid 20's maybe.
This is the first time that the level 3 chef didn’t say for how many years he/she’s been a chef, I’m surprised
I thought the same thing! I was like... wait, did she buy into the theme?
That's cause she already said it in another video
Mortals wouldn’t be able to comprehend how long she has been a chef
CreamYT lmfao true
Saul also did the same
lorenzo sounds like he would make dad jokes and be the only one laughing
So... My dad?
@@jeanetten.s.8557 idk :p
I would love to hear them and laugh for no reason
So like all dads then
Lorenzo: *accidentally gets egg shell inside egg bowl*
Also Lorenzo: *MANIACAL LAUGHTER*
congrats you were the 3,666th comment
Eebolt I hope you’re proud for documenting that
Why no one says that
@@Danny8Ter exactly
“Oh shet” 😂
I think it would be a good idea if they got a random person to come in and try all the dishes and try guess which is made by which level cheff
Hope they see this comment!!
Yes please!! I was thinking the same thing!
Yea but a blind test 😂
If they ever did that they'd claim it was five levels
Exactly that's what I was thinking
"The second half of this series is the most ignored part in the history of RUclips"
Which one
@@ampacole9408 when the food science appear
Chances are good that if you're a kitchen nerd, you already know most of what she's going to say. I just use it as background noise while I peruse the comment section.
@@bradsimpson8724 I do exactly the same!
Level one chef: doesn’t pull out waffle mix
Me: wait ur not supposed to do that...
jordan wilson haha i broke the no replies
I'm really worthless
Me: so what am I? A level 0?
The only reason Lorenzo isnt a level 3 chef is bc hes too happy
Yep. As we all know, level 3 chefs must be *dead inside*
@@max-isnt-real fax
And because he doesn’t do an overnight recipe 😬
Or he doesn't have professional education.
@@23Zakira maybe
Let's be real. A level one chef would throw some eggos in the toaster, and top it with some Aunt Jemima.
Christopher .Fischetti I was expecting level 1 to use Bisquick 😂
That is by no means a "chef".
I find it more interesting when they actually make something
I have no objections. That's delicious 😂
Level ½
So we ain’t gonna talk about the 13 year old scientist
Glass of Milk ... u stare at 13 year olds a lot?
@@doigotrujillo5417 Only the ones he snatches delicious waffles from
@@doigotrujillo5417 that makes no sense TF. There's alot of difference between 13 year olds to 15 year olds😑
What generation are you?
@ehud kotegaro good
Level 3 chef: so to start, I'm going to make my own waffle maker
Level 3 chef: I'm Tracy and I'm a level 3 chef.
Everyone: Wait... That's illegal
Yntelligence that's what I said
she knew how good she is, did not need to boost. Made her food speak for here. level 3 was really the best.
I do t get it plz explain
Scott Mansi explain plzzz
@@lizrosario3231 ppl who watch this videos a lot (like me) know that the "level 3" chefs usually say "I've been a chef for 10 years" or so, they dont usually say "I'm a level 3 chef" go watch more vids like these maybe you'll get it better.
so we're just gonna ignore the fact that Lorenzo just cursed and laughed like a maniac
I thought I was the only one who picked up on that!?!?
I can't stand him.
Exactly why I'm here
@@continuousself-improvement1879 I agree with xX Ballistic Xx, what is your problem
@@gabecuarez2598 yeah, people put out random hate for random people for no reason
1:15
Lorenzo : Oh shi-
*Literally 2.87 seconds later*
Lorenzo : Mwahahahahhaha 😂😂
Lmaooooooo ur comment is sooo funny
😂😂😂😂
My favorite part of the video. I love his laugh. He sounds like the Joker from the Batman cartoon.
Finally a level 3 chef who didn’t say their life story to introduce them self
Any time Lorenzo is on, I know I'm going to be laughing. He's great.
Lorenzo is too good man... Such a funny dude
Let's just get this man a cooking show am I right :)
AGREE!!
Ikr I love him
But he said a bad word!☹️
Did she really said “level 3 chef”? No “I’ve been cooking professionally for half century”
I know so surprising
Szal000na Wiki so what?
@@asTWOrism that's like putting sugar on pizza💀
I'm interested in knowing how long they've been cooking for.
Why does everyone have to be such condescending brats about it?
Tia T IKR
They deserve that title to tell how many years have they cooked
Why do I actually want to eat Tracy’s waffles? They look yummy.
*Best part is when Lorenzo cursed and laughed like a maniac* 😂
Totally agree. I love his laugh.
Level 1: I bought this sauce
Level 2: I'm gonna make some sauce
Level 3: *To make the jar for the sauce you wanna get some fresh sand*
This made me chuckle...
This is an underrated comment
Accurate
Yeah but this one wasn’t actually too bad! I mean remember that one bald dude?
@@caede5 Yea I'd say this was one of the better ones 😂
An amateur would just use store bought waffle batter and that’s it
Masked Guitarists That’s not what amateur means though
@@Aviedya did he ever say that amateur means "uses store bought waffle batter"
I meant the mix the store bought mix
Josh The mango Well yes, in a sense. An amateur is not someone who does the bare minimum effort. What I mean is that am amateur just refers to someone who isn’t paid to do what they’re doing, or don’t have a great amount of experience. You could argue that the guy form One Punch is an amateur hero until he joins the professionals.
He says here that the level 1 is not an amateur, no? I’m saying that that is not true, because that’s not what being an amateur entails.
Or just premade waffles that you toast 😂
I really like this Level 3 chef. She wasn't over braggy and she gave good explanations for everything. Yeah, everything was fancy, but she was funny about it and added casual names to them too (Caramel, Cookie Butter). She was cool =)
Level 3 chef: "alright so you're gonna want some sugar to complement your gugary waffle along with your sugar sauce...oh and a sprinkle of nuts"
Those are actually speculoos cookies.
All the level 1 chefs are getting to good they need to bring back the guy who dumps cheesecakes into pancakes.
LOL
Lmaoooo that man killed me 😂
Even Emily is stepping her game up.
and the girl who ate ketchup with her french toast
Hahahaha that guy is my favourite
Lorenzo seems like he was high through out the episode 😂
Your Use Of Capitalization Makes Me Wonder About You As Well
@@wasabi1787 Couldn't agree more
His eyes were blazed
Why Are You Capitalizing Every Word?
he's high in every video
Lorenzo: Failed to crack open an egg with one hand
Also lorenzo: Laughs maniacally
1. You
2. You’re fun uncle
3. That one chef friend you have
level 1: beginner cook
level 2: good cook
level 3: i raise my own waffles
level 4: “i am running for sixth grade class president because”
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Lmao raise your own waffles huh

I think was the weirdest episode I’ve watched yet.
Level 1: “bit of a kick”
Level 2: maniac laughter for no reason
Level 3: does not break eye contact from the camera not blinking once
You can def tell level 3 is a teacher lol
@@FEARitself100 and realy bad at her job...
She doesn't need to blink cause she's not being held against her will there so....
Have you seen the pancake episode?
@@nox5555 She seems ok
Finally a level three chef that says she’s level three and not I’ve been working since the dawn of time and even cooked for the dinosaurs themselves
This made me laugh more than it should 😂😂😂
MilkiCookie chill I’m joking
No you’re not
watch the challenge for cinnamon rolls; you'll find what she's been doing from the dawn of time !!!
Lol, that's funny, cause last time I checked she said she was joe
I really want the recipe for level 3 Chef's waffles, they look too good
Level 3 chef's children: Mommy where is breakfast?
Level 3 chef: It for 3 days.
Where is Emily with her ketchup waffles?
Emily is eggo only
No judgements here, but Emily is probably the person who gets hungry at night, finds the fridge empty of filling food and just squeeze ketchup into her mouth just to taste something.
Then accidentally spills it on herself when her roommate sees the lights and walks into the kitchen, then the roommate thought Emily hurt herself.
I’m looking for the cheesecake waffle from the black guy lol
Lool leave the poor girl Salome
Jonathan Norman yeah idk what that “Level 2” chef was on 😪🤦🏾♂️
A LEVEL 3 CHEF THAT NEVER SAID IN THE BEGINNING “IVE BEEN WORKING FOR __YEARS”
Edit : do danganronpa pls yall or you will be sad like saihara in and after chapter 1
the script writer control what every chef said in the begining, now there are too much people complained about it they changed it.
I was looking this everyone else just say the same old jokes
There are literally at least another few chefs who say that they’re a level three Chef instead of “I’ve been working for _ years” but sure
Who cares?!
@@bottle6969 Butt-mad snowflakes that have no drive or passion in their work projecting their failures on actually successful people that do take pride in their work.
Honestly they think they are virtue signaling but really just making them selves look jealous and mean to anyone that has critical thinking skills...
Lorenzo’s laugh fills me with joy.
Lorenzo is just a happy guy. I love watching him.
I expected a cheesecake to be in the first waffle, or ketchup. You never know with this series.
Hey don’t diss my baby Emily, she’s trying and making it easy for me to make at home. 💀
it was emilys time to make waffle, we need her back
The cheesecake one was funny as HELL LMFAOOA
I kinda miss the ketchup wolman
Emily with ketchup and salmonella for the win. And if by winning you mean spending the next few hour on the toilet praying to not to die of dysentery like the people in the video game.
Bianca is borderline Lv2.I think she's among the best LV1 so far in the series.
And oh boy, Liege style (Tracy's one) is always my favourite.
Bianca is really adorable too
Khajonsak Jermprapai I agree
Nah, she was a mess.
It was waffles not very hard
And the best part: she isn't stupid enough to think "nobody likes maple syrup"
They all look great! Tracy is my favorite level 3 chef, elevated recipes but nothing extra or gaudy. That's what makes her a pro, unlike some of the others that just use hard to aquire ingredients and a GTA mission to make.
Let's be real. We only want to eat the Level 2 chef's food. EVERY TIME.
@Joseph Koranyi is this an offer?
haha jk, pancakes
To be honest sometimes level 3 goes overboard but I’d rather have the level 3 this time
I except that they r waffles and will eat any of them
I actually liked their versions better. Its better looking and easy to makem I dont like fancy stuff.
If I were to choose what to eat, I will definitely choose the level three one. If I will make one tho, I will probably make the level two one
Why does the food scientist look like the girl who bullied me in middle school
👀
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Oh my, dont tell me..
LOL
Level 3 chef husband: Hey babe when’s breakfast?
Level 3 chef: *over night*

This made my night. Thankss😂😂
They make it ahead of time .... duh
Yea i don't think that fat whale has a husband
Oof 😂
@@Yuh7544 discrimination at its finest lol.
I love Lorenzo’s laugh and his enthusiasm. Brightens up my day :)
The world would be a better place if there are more like Lorenzo. The guy is a bundle of joy.
As a Belgian, i can say level 3 was the real belgian "luikse wafel" the other ones were like every ordenairy pancake batter turn into waffles (wich we do too so ;) )
Edit: this kind of waffle we also call it a brussels waffle and second of all thank you for the likes!
I don't think I ever had authentic Belgian waffles before. i would've never know they were made with dough.
im a belgian too! and i was very proud of the level 3 chef :)
Tracy has blown my mind. I need to try this method.
@@JubeiKibagamiFez Authentic Belgian waffles are the absolute best! I love the sugar pearls.
Yes but she put too much on top instead of eating it right when it came out of the iron... 😰
I clicked so fast just to see if they brought back Steven to make brownie/cheesecake waffles
rey arifin not gonna lie I got Vietnam flashbacks to that pancake video when I saw this was uploaded
I think the concept was good tbh. Cream cheese and some vanilla would have given him the flavor he needed without using a whole cake
_you put the frozen pancakes into the waffles batter_
Ikr
He was banned after his pancakes.
the reason frank isn’t in this is bc he was growing his own maple tree for maple syrup
Insane 😂😂😂
Lol. Best comment. 😂
When u live in Belgium: yes thank you, thank you, aww ur too kind
They should taste each other’s food
They probably film on separate days. Notice how Lorenzo and Tracy used the same waffle iron.
FreedInsanity well, maybe they have two waffle irons of the same type?
@@czerwonykwadrat6843 True, but it makes a lot more logistical sense to film around each person's schedule and provide the equipment they request, rather than forcing them to show up on the same day and bring everything.
One of them left their dough in the frig for 24 hours, I doubt the others are going to wait around to taste that (it happens quite a lot when level 3 chefs cook).
lil chris tuten they talk to each other in some videos.
If Emily was here she would have putten ketchup on her waffles instead of syrup
Sad she wasn't there because people's horrified faces would have been so worth it.
@Chris Overholt I didn't even recognize the typo
Chris Overholt sorry i am not a native speaker.
You can clearly tell by my name.
@Chris Overholt long thang ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I was waiting for this comment😂
Lorenzo at 3:42: “A-ha, Oh.” That makes me laugh every time
I love Lorenzo's laughter😂😂😂👌
*clicks video*
"I'm Lorenzo-"
AW YEAAAA
#reletable
So true 🤜🏼
true
literally did this
Mr crabs
First level 3 chef that wasn't a show off and actually did something better than both of them.
Utkarsh Dubey I think hers would’ve been so overbearingly sweet, but if you’ve gotta major sweet tooth, the flavors would be good.
Jimins Pencillium I’m Belgian and we actually use that much sugar (except for the toppings) for the waffles. Her waffles look like « our » waffles (gaufres de Liège 😁)
Wasnt a show off? She fr made waffles that takes 2 business days to eat
Literally made waffles from dough that rested overnight....🙄😒 Yea, not a show off at all...
ZeonixReaper 1 business day bcos your toppings and batter can be made on the same day
I choose Lorenzo's honestly. I'd eat that on a cold morning with a cup of tea and my cat snuggling up in my lap
level 3 chef: this is my belgian waffle recipe
also level 3 chef *proceeds to make a full American heart attack doughnut in the shape of a waffle*
Stephen: So I'm going to add the other half of the cheesecake to the waffle batter....
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I understand this joke
Ryan Lauderdale omg 😭😭😂
From what video is that?
@@helen8022 pancakes video
Hahahaha I had my wife and kids watch the pancake one with me and my kids ask me if I need the other half of the cheesecake with every thing I cook
someone: **drops a pinch of salt**
epicurious editor: **sound of a volcano eruption**
The sound effects of these videos are always so offputting since they're so unnatural compared to the actions.
Thank you! Finally someone noticed this
So…the pro chef's 2 waffles took 2 days.
Bianca: Waffel
Lorenzo: Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu
Tracy: Doughnut
Y’all need to start linking their recipes. I need to eat Level 3’s.

“I’m no juila child but it’s edible!!” MOOD AF
I wish everything in life was as funny as it is to lorenzo
watching Lorenzo laughing with the waffles sparks happiness inside my heart
"I'm a level 3 chef", wait what?! Bish, no "chef for 18 years"?! Wow.
Edit: she's good, damn. I'm not going to joke about a chef any more.
Lol
I love Lorenzo's positivity but hes such a crackhead 😂
99.99% of comment are meming
00.01% of comment learning how to make waffles
The level 3 chef is pretty good. Will be happy to have her on again.
She’s one of the few level 3’s that looks like she’s enjoying what she’s doing.
"mom can i have a waffles for breakfast today"
Level 3 chef : no
But tomorrow-...
This made me cackle
o k i e m o m m y
I will make it in 3 business days
🤣🤣🤣
Level 3 waffle is beautiful. Wish I had the patience to make them. 💛
When Tracy said " a donut in waffle form" I though I hear a spark if happiness in her voice!
Also is anyone else surprised that she put vanilla extract instead of an actual vanilla bean in her toffee 🤯
"My grandmother would be so embarrased"
RELATABLE
YO DID LORENZO JUST SWEAR LMAO
LORENZO HAS BEEN TAINTED BY OUR IMPERFECT SELVES
I would too if I dropped a shell in my eggs lol
@Phil Stehle That's why Gordon is so good. Swearing imparts flavor directly into your dish.
more human lol
xxCrunchY I had a heart attack man
A level 3 chef that actually said “I’m a level 3 chef”. Usually they say “and I’ve been a chef for...”
Bianca is a national treasure. So is Lorenzo's giggles and that toffee sauce topping.
Level 1- breakfast from the bag.
Level 2- Waffles with a twist.
Level 3- Pancakes with abs.
After eating number 3..you will never have abs again.
@@joeytheredkangaroo9393 I would question everything if my pancakes flexed its abs at me.
"I'm Lorenzo and I'm a level two chef"

Jesus Rodriguez I had the biggest smile when I saw he was back
Looking forward to the day that Lorenzo says he's a level 3 chef
dennis sweeney Me too!
“You don’t want to go any further because you’ll end up with butter”
My mom when we were trying to make a nice whipped cream: Just a bit longer.....*is butter*
Lorenzo is what cooking is all about, having fun as you make delicious food 🥺
2:48
Editor: how many squishy sounds should I add
Epicurious: yes
2:51
I swear that's just the sound of someone getting shanked
Finally, actually an accurate level 1 chef!!!!! PLEASE don't let this one go.
Yves Belliveau the level 1 chefs don’t know how to make everything. That’s why they need to let them go after a while.
Lorenzo with the Deliciouso, which is italian. They speak dutch and flemish and french in Belgium, Lorenzo.
every video needs lorenzo. he is the man.
I was so happy to see level 3 make liege waffles. Ever since I made my own, I cannot go back to any other waffle for the most part.
