Hey guys, registered nurse here, I use thickener almost daily for my patients and I never got good results with the powder thickener. We switched to the SimplyThick Gel and it works so much better without giving you that grainy consistency. Maybe give that a try next!
This was going to be my suggestion as well. Gel for liquids and the powder for pureed foods. Also, using a shaker bottle for the liquids works way better and faster than a fork.
As a preschool cook who thickens liquids for some of the kids I HATE the powered stuff but have to use what the parents want. They let me use the gel stuff for a week before switching back 😭
Watching this as a CNA who uses this thickener for my patients was SO funny. I have had all of the same reactions when I was mixing, and when me and my co-workers tried it HAHAHA. You should try Sodas next, they're terrible
I work with people with disabilities and have to use thickeners all the time. Thickit is basically cornstarch and continues to thicken and can change the taste of drinks. If you don't drink it within minutes your drinks will turn to pudding. You need to get SimplyThick which is a gel. It doesn't change the taste, you can make large batches of drinks at once, and will stay the same thickness for up to 2 days! Far superior to thick it but the cost also reflects it. did you know you can use food processors and thickening agents for food? Liquid ham paste for the supervisor! You could make mystery foods and have each other guess what it is. It's fun and disgusting at once! We had to take classes to learn how to keep the food/drinks tasty even when changing the consistency. It is a real skill that can be fun to learn.
I work in culinary services at an assisted living facility and SimplyThick in the pump bottle is an absolute lifesaver. I couldn't imagine using a powder to thicken a small 4 oz mug of coffee in the middle of the dinner rush.
other thick suggestions: thick melted butter on popcorn, thick gravy (warm), thick juice but freeze it into a popsicle- does it change the popsicle texture?, thick hot sauce challenge, and, of course, your favorite things: thick resin
When I worked as a Chef in a carehome I did training for the other staff to taste thickened drinks and foods so they could experience the residents meal times they all had a lot more empathy after and more careful following the instructions/required amounts! Was a fun day haha, I'd love to see what you make of thickened seasonings like vinegars, soy etc wine is a good one aswell super weird thick😂
Aww that's great you had them do that. Back when i was allowed stuff via mouth (before being peg fed), in on of my care homes I was in we had a great chef who made me a thickened milkshake once without using thickener. I'm not sure how she did it, ice cream or cream maybe? she made it the perfect thickness without the thickener taste. Always went the extra mile 😊
@@Jiminphoria maybe more icecream? If you blend it less or just enough with more icecream than milk it makes a sort of icy texture (think slushies but with smaller chunks) :)
I love that y'all always mention that it's for a medical purpose. I always get a little miffed when people don't understand what it's for and make nasty comments about it. If you don't understand why it exists, it's probably not for you! Also if you ever do try thickening soda or other fizzy drinks, do it in a blender. The sodas will bubble and fizz otherwise. It reacts similarly to a mentos in coke. When I had to make thickened sodas, for my hospital kitchen job, I'd do them in a blender to avoid making a mess. It always trapped the bubbles in the now thick liquid. Dysphagia is such an interesting condition, only because how it's treated. Here! We made your drink thick so you can feel it! That or your food gets minced or even pureed. I do not miss plating the premade pureed fish molds.
I'd love if they could get someone who truly needs to use Thick It to try cursed stuff with them? Idk something about this whole trend feels like disability appropriatiation. I just feel bad for everyone who can't choose to have their favorite foods non-thick. :/
My grandmother used to take concentrated orange juice, freeze it to almost frozen, then roll it into balls then roll the balls in coconut. It was great.
My grandma did this too! I still have the recipe. You crush up vanilla wafers mix it with the orange juice concentrate and rolled in shredded coconut. Even though she's passed we still make them for Christmas!
As a speech language pathologist I love that you guys are experimenting with thick it! I’ve used it multiple times in therapy and having patients that need it. I love that now I have new recommendations for what will taste good ❤
Americans really struggle without some kind of substance to ingest don't they.... Why would cocktails or moonshine be any different to watching soft drink or juice?
@@drhannibellestupid, alcohol is the most historical beverage, there are whole professions dedicated to just knowledge on the taste, smell, mouthfeel of these things, what makes any other drink on Earth more interesting and suited for playing with?
Still would love to see you guys make diy scorch paste. One of the ingredients is thick it. It is a paste you put on wood, then heat it with heat gun and you get a wood burning. I know, not food related, but you guys are makers.
evan's story about eating the orange juice concentrate hit so hard bc i remember doing the same with lemonade concentrate as a kid lol unrelated but i scrub through most ads but E&K's are so entertaining that even on a rewatch of a video i'll still watch them (even if i'm never in the market for a website lol)
In Poland we have a snack/dessert called "kisiel" it's basically a warm thickened fruit juices. I wonder whether it's similar since it's also made by adding hot water to powder. It's a real love it or hate it among friends. Popular flavours are cherry, strawberry, gooseberry and so forth.
My thoughts exactly, I was sooo confused when I saw the title - after quick googling I found out kisiel is just a slavic thing. And since thickit is basically starch... they reinvented kisiel :D
i live in ireland but i go out of my way to go to polish shops to buy kisiel!! it's so cozy this time of year! it seems like thickit is quite grainy so it sounds a lot worse lol
We make same dessert in Finland! We call it kiisseli. Our popular flavours are apple, blueberry, rhubarb and chocolate. Winter version has dried fruit in it, like plums. I think atleast swedes have similar fruit soups, but other nordic countries could too. :)
For kisiel we usually use potato starch which is less textured at the end and it's also permise the liquid to stay translucid since cornstarch whitening it :)
My favorite Extremely Cursed thickened liquid I've ever seen someone try is pickle juice, purely for the name thickle juice. Also I'm with Evan on the frozen orange juice, though I've never eaten straight up concentrate. I remember when I was little, pouring orange juice into ice cube trays, covering with plastic wrap, and sticking toothpicks into each one so when they froze, they became teeny tiny orange popsicles. Even now, 20+ years later, I sometimes find myself craving those little frozen orange cubes.
Thick milk is definitely something I want to see. But also can you add Thickit in to non food items? Some ideas I had I'll put here too. Paint, resin, concrete, shampoo? Butter?
You don't really need to strain off the broth the thickit used in the video is designed for use in food like soups, gravy and sauces . You would only need to stir in the powder vigorously for a minute or so.
Alternate Tittle, How To Use Up The Giant Container Of Thick It We Bought For One Video: Katelyns Evil Cursed Food Plan All Along🤣❤. I like how this has become the drink counterpart to the great rice crispie treat experiment 😆.
Fyi, you can buy pre-thickened liquids. It will even say what thickness it is on the bottles. It's wayyyy easier than making it yourself and, it's usually more accurate to what people need. I used to work in a long-term care facility ("nursing home") and we had an un-opened bottle of thickened apple juice that was about to expire so we couldn't give it to residents. No one wanted it and I ended up taking it home cause...I was a broke college student at the time. It usually doesn't taste the same, but it can really help people continue to eat and drink properly without choking or aspirating. Highly recommend buying the pre-made products. It's usually more expensive, but worth it for getting consistently thickened liquids.
so fun to watch! I was really hoping to see you guys combine all the juices into one big franken-juice, but seeing it as a pasta dish instead was pretty good too!
V8 has been one my secret ingredients to my homemade red sauce for my spaghetti for almost 2 decades now. 😊 Growing up my family would add a big can of it and some seasoned ground beef to pasta shells. (Poor folks goulash 😅)
It's so funny you guys mentioned odorless garlic. recently my hubby n I found a plant called Society Garlic it smells n tastes like a lighter garlic but doesn't leave your breath smelling like it. apparently it's the reason they named it society garlic 😁 never heard of it before but we ended up buying a plant from Lowes it has really pretty purple flowers that are edible too. maybe if you can find it you guys can try it and making the so called odorless one and compare. ☺
for the ppl who wants to try thick it with out spending the price you can thicken juices or sauces with xanthan gum , gelatin , corn starch , pectin ect...
The ridiculous thing is, Thick It is just corn starch with maltodextrin. There is nothing that would justify the price difference. If people would read the ingredient list nobody would buy Thick It and would rather just order a 10lbs bag of corn starch.
@@dude988 I'm not sure what it's made of , my guess would have been xanthan gum , but yes most starch will do . My list was very very limited. There are many more alternative some cheaper then others @ home i like using corn starch or all purpose flour for a multitude of cooking
My little sister had to have thick it in everything up until she was about 2 due to asperating when she'd drink. Taking a drink of her drink accidentally was the worst especially when it was in something like chocolate milk
Yall making me miss Jelly Sodas from Japan again. It's literally a carbonated soda with tiny, diced jello cubes in it and I have never found its equal in the western world. XD
Omg, I have the same childhood memory as Evan with frozen concentrated orange juice, so I may need to try this….. Or just buy more frozen concentrated orange juice.
The reason the cranberry juice tastes like apple sauce is because, if you look, the main ingredient is apple juice, not cranberry juice. It would be too tart if it was just cranberry.
I love green machine juice and you guys just tried to kill me with the thick look😂 how am I supposed to go back to drinking it without thinking of this???
I know this isn't the point of the video, but yours is the only channel I don't skip through the ad for, because you put effort into them and they are all different.
can't stop cackling at the Celery and Lettuce sidling ominously in from the side of the screen. just peeking. overseeing the proceedings. lurking. i love them
there's directions for making thickened cocktails on the Hormel Health Labs page, but I haven't tried any of them yet because we're not allowed to serve alcohol at work, and all my thickener experiments have been to serve to clients at the day program.
As an RN I've thickened Tim Horton's coffee, beer, soda, and many other fluids for my patients. The surprise of their faces when they can drink something they enjoy. Lemon water is refreshing for them, but milk is nasty tasting. Luckily my patients are on tube feeds for awhile before they can either learn to eat again, incases of tongue removal or stroke, or post surgery.
I'd love to see you try mixing together the ingredients for ice cream (milk, cream, sugar, vanilla) or just use melted ice cream and make it thicc! Who wouldn't love ice cream that doesn't need a freezer?
I had spinal fusion surgery. I wound up with my vocal cords paralyzed. I couldn’t be understood when I tried to speak. And, when I tried to drink, the liquid went right down into my bronchial tubes and left me choking and gagging. It was so difficult, and I went thirsty rather than drinking. A nurse got me some thickened drinks, and saved my life! It was four months before my vocal cords healed.
Evan & Katelyn are total couple goals! They've shown many glimpses their relationship isn't perfect, but they are so full of ❤ Unconditional Love ❤️ for each other!
Oh my goodness! You two are sooo funny! Thank you for trying strange things like this so we don't have too! 😉I've been watching you two for years and you always brighten my day 😊
Guys this might be my favorite of your recent videos, SO many laughs and plot twists and the editing was fantastic. The fact that you choose to put such funny, well-produced videos on your second channel just shows how super high quality your content is overall!
I had to make a special version of Christmas dinner for a kid by basically blending the whole thing together with gravy and…I was surprised by how decent it actually was. Maybe try blending a whole meal together and trying it? And adding some thickener if it’s too liquid!
i had to use this for my daughter for a couple years because she would aspirate when she drank anything, even water. I always got a good chuckle when i’d pull it out at restaurants to thicken up her water 😂. Very glad she’s outgrown that now.
I remember when I worked in a nursing home, we would use lemon-flavored thickener in water, and we would seal the top of the glass with saran wrap, as tight as we could get it, and shake the utter hell out of it.
before your videos I had never heard of think-it, but now I want it because I always add some corn starch to my hot cocoa to thicken it up and this could really help with the limps of boiling inconsistently lol
Cold water/milk, corn starch, stir it until it's smooth. Don't put it into the hot cocoa before it is fully dissolved. And don't buy thick it, it's just corn starch.
you have no idea how much my drunk brain loved this sequel! Video worthy of main channel content i love the editing and your chemistry is adorable and leaves me smiling!
Hey some TIPS: With the powder stuff it works better if you first put the powder in your glass and then while stirring it you add the juice it helps with the clumping. Also if you let the drink sit for a bit it should thickin too what the box says so you don't really need to add more. Adding more after you already stirred it causes more clumping too. We tend to use jello instead of thick-up (brand that we use) if it really need to be an almost sollid. It's cheaper that way. We also thickin soup when needed but if it's really thick soup we add less scoups. Cause for the patients it needs to be the same thickness as much as possible cause that what they expect it to feel like.
For someone who chokes over liquids, this would be a life savor and an ability to taste some of the flavors they enjoyed. I'm glad we don't have to drink our liquids thickened. 🤢 We actually use V8 as our juice base for chili. It adds a punch of flavor and more veggies. I'm with Evan, condensed OJ is quite yummy! 🍊 I'm glad you are bringing this drink option to the general public and trying it with a variety of drinks!👍
I guess what I'm saying is I don't think I've ever had to add extra juice, just the juice from like beans and tomatoes and corn seem to be enough for us
I was a CNA forever ago and worked at a nursing home, one of the rare calm days we had a nurse suggested I try it. I don't regret that experience, but I'm not in a hurry to experience it again. Although the thick foods were what even I the guy who would try anything wouldn't try. I remember feeding some residents and it was like soft playdough that was pressed into food molds. I remember the "corn on the cob" vividly it looked like unshaded toy food.
I love garlicy food, but I know I really smell after having it. I think my body is extra bad at handling the sulphites... So I try to make the most of it when my partner has to travel for work. If he's away for a few days and I'm home alone I will live off crusty bread and tzatziki and be smelly and happy😂
From my time working in a restaurant, you need to stir starch into a seperate liquid first, then only put in what has actually dissolved on the top. Welll... we also had whatever we were thickening cooking, as we stir in the dissolved starch.
I work at a hospital kitchen you would not believe what people want thicken like carbonated soda. Also for consistency we just use the blender/mixer instead of mixing by hand
As a speech therapist at a hospital, the best thing to use is simply thick, it’s a gel and it works wonders. (Also just a tip it’s GREAT in bubbly wine😂🤣)
Evan, I’m counting your blessings for you that it wasn’t Clamato! 🤢. Also if you like the orange juice concentrate, we also put one container of it in with mashed sweet potatoes and some ginger and it’s delicious!
My daughter is 2 and has to use thickener level nectar because she aspirates on liquids. She used to be on honey thickness. I’m thankful for the dysphasia outreach project as they have provided us with thickner as it’s not covered by insurance even with a diagnosis.
my poor brother did this at age 14 not knowing what concentrated orange juice was for 😂😂😂 I was younger than him so got a real kick out of knowing something he didn't

i want one so bad bc of this video but am an early riser and don't want to wake up my family 😂😂😂
"A really tart apple sauce" maybe something like idk... cranberry sauce?
The reason the cranberry juice tastes like apple sauce is because, if you look, the main ingredient is apple juice, not cranberry juice. It would be too tart if it was just cranberry.
I love green machine juice and you guys just tried to kill me with the thick look😂 how am I supposed to go back to drinking it without thinking of this???
I know this isn't the point of the video, but yours is the only channel I don't skip through the ad for, because you put effort into them and they are all different.
can't stop cackling at the Celery and Lettuce sidling ominously in from the side of the screen. just peeking. overseeing the proceedings. lurking. i love them
i wonder how thickened alcohols would act
Alcohol doesn’t thicken too well.
there's directions for making thickened cocktails on the Hormel Health Labs page, but I haven't tried any of them yet because we're not allowed to serve alcohol at work, and all my thickener experiments have been to serve to clients at the day program.
StrangeAeons did a video w/ the same premise where she thickened Fireball and apparently it takes longer to go down and thus burns longer
As an RN I've thickened Tim Horton's coffee, beer, soda, and many other fluids for my patients. The surprise of their faces when they can drink something they enjoy. Lemon water is refreshing for them, but milk is nasty tasting. Luckily my patients are on tube feeds for awhile before they can either learn to eat again, incases of tongue removal or stroke, or post surgery.
I'd love to see you try mixing together the ingredients for ice cream (milk, cream, sugar, vanilla) or just use melted ice cream and make it thicc! Who wouldn't love ice cream that doesn't need a freezer?
I had spinal fusion surgery. I wound up with my vocal cords paralyzed. I couldn’t be understood when I tried to speak. And, when I tried to drink, the liquid went right down into my bronchial tubes and left me choking and gagging. It was so difficult, and I went thirsty rather than drinking. A nurse got me some thickened drinks, and saved my life!
It was four months before my vocal cords healed.
Need to try all the thick alcohols next!!
Thiqueila !
Evan & Katelyn are total couple goals! They've shown many glimpses their relationship isn't perfect, but they are so full of ❤ Unconditional Love ❤️ for each other!
Oh my goodness! You two are sooo funny! Thank you for trying strange things like this so we don't have too! 😉I've been watching you two for years and you always brighten my day 😊
Guys this might be my favorite of your recent videos, SO many laughs and plot twists and the editing was fantastic. The fact that you choose to put such funny, well-produced videos on your second channel just shows how super high quality your content is overall!
I had to make a special version of Christmas dinner for a kid by basically blending the whole thing together with gravy and…I was surprised by how decent it actually was.
Maybe try blending a whole meal together and trying it? And adding some thickener if it’s too liquid!
Try making a desert with it! Whenever there should be a gooey thing, use thikit
Like a jello or something?
Thick cup noodles. Thick Campbell's soup. Thick aloe vera drink. Thick milkshake!
Thick. Beer.
Or wine.
i had to use this for my daughter for a couple years because she would aspirate when she drank anything, even water. I always got a good chuckle when i’d pull it out at restaurants to thicken up her water 😂. Very glad she’s outgrown that now.
Katelyn: which one do you like better
even: stoically watches the orenge juice drip off the spoon
Katelyn zoomed in shots make me happy. There's no other way to describe. 😊
I love you guys!! The chaotic energy is so addictive!😂❤
The fun you two have when making this video is contagious. Love it :). Also, the 'weird' choice from Katelyn inspired the most ideas.
Hi!! You guys got me to start making!
I remember when I worked in a nursing home, we would use lemon-flavored thickener in water, and we would seal the top of the glass with saran wrap, as tight as we could get it, and shake the utter hell out of it.
before your videos I had never heard of think-it, but now I want it because I always add some corn starch to my hot cocoa to thicken it up and this could really help with the limps of boiling inconsistently lol
If you mix the cornstarch with a bit of cold water first to make a slurry and stir that into your hot cocoa you should avoid lumps
@@irononreverse I already do it but SOMEHOW there still lumps!
Dispair from just wanting to enjoy some hot cocoa 😔
@@solosaf6754 do you have a milk frother? Its a tiny powered whisk that should really help fix the lumps
@@noaccount2494 used to have one but it was cheap so it broke like after a week. Should get a new one ngl now that you mention it
Cold water/milk, corn starch, stir it until it's smooth. Don't put it into the hot cocoa before it is fully dissolved. And don't buy thick it, it's just corn starch.

im actually in tears right now cause id do the same thing. my family didn’t have much money so those little things were like a sweet treat to me.
you should make thick ramen broth :)
What an amazing birthday gift!! A new video from my favorite RUclipsrs! ❤❤
I just wanna see a crossover between Will it Rice Krispie and Thick-It™
I enjoy the premixed lemon water it is so delicious and refreshing.
The cranberry premixed is also good.
you have no idea how much my drunk brain loved this sequel! Video worthy of main channel content i love the editing and your chemistry is adorable and leaves me smiling!
made me laugh imagining you were drinking the thick bloody Mary she mentioned 😂❤
Hey some TIPS: With the powder stuff it works better if you first put the powder in your glass and then while stirring it you add the juice it helps with the clumping. Also if you let the drink sit for a bit it should thickin too what the box says so you don't really need to add more. Adding more after you already stirred it causes more clumping too.
We tend to use jello instead of thick-up (brand that we use) if it really need to be an almost sollid. It's cheaper that way.
We also thickin soup when needed but if it's really thick soup we add less scoups. Cause for the patients it needs to be the same thickness as much as possible cause that what they expect it to feel like.
For someone who chokes over liquids, this would be a life savor and an ability to taste some of the flavors they enjoyed. I'm glad we don't have to drink our liquids thickened. 🤢 We actually use V8 as our juice base for chili. It adds a punch of flavor and more veggies. I'm with Evan, condensed OJ is quite yummy! 🍊 I'm glad you are bringing this drink option to the general public and trying it with a variety of drinks!👍
What?? I've always just dumped the cans of stuff in with their juice, and then it's chili after a few hours
I guess what I'm saying is I don't think I've ever had to add extra juice, just the juice from like beans and tomatoes and corn seem to be enough for us
@KevinCrouch0 We add the other juices as well. There is not one way to make chili, I guess?
Soooo I'm dealing with a chest cold and coughing is painful. I laughed so hard! Oh my goodness thank you!
Omg, thicken the juice. put it in an ice cream machine and make sorbet! 😃
that's such a good idea!!!
I was a CNA forever ago and worked at a nursing home, one of the rare calm days we had a nurse suggested I try it. I don't regret that experience, but I'm not in a hurry to experience it again. Although the thick foods were what even I the guy who would try anything wouldn't try. I remember feeding some residents and it was like soft playdough that was pressed into food molds. I remember the "corn on the cob" vividly it looked like unshaded toy food.
I love garlicy food, but I know I really smell after having it. I think my body is extra bad at handling the sulphites... So I try to make the most of it when my partner has to travel for work. If he's away for a few days and I'm home alone I will live off crusty bread and tzatziki and be smelly and happy😂
next time he goes, it would be the perfect time to make the 'odorless garlic' and then update us to tell us if it really works or not😂👌
From my time working in a restaurant, you need to stir starch into a seperate liquid first, then only put in what has actually dissolved on the top.
Welll... we also had whatever we were thickening cooking, as we stir in the dissolved starch.
They look chunky though I wonder if you used a stick blender if it would be a smoother consistency and also is water the same texture as the juices?
Idea !! What about Thick sodas. I wonder how the thick it would react with the carbonated beverage
I thought in the thumbnail that the green juice was pickle juice…but now i need to see thick pickle juice
Thickle juice.
I work at a hospital kitchen you would not believe what people want thicken like carbonated soda. Also for consistency we just use the blender/mixer instead of mixing by hand
I mean, if you can't have your favorite food any other way...😢
I wonder if you could use this stuff to thicken up gravy when the corn starch or flour methods fail
No, it's just corn starch with better marketing.
@dude988 youuuuu are correct. I just looked it up 😅 those deceptive bastards lmao
You guys are freaking hilarious. Please don't ever stop
ive never been this early! love you guys thank you for always constantly putting out amazing wholesome content ❤
As a speech therapist at a hospital, the best thing to use is simply thick, it’s a gel and it works wonders. (Also just a tip it’s GREAT in bubbly wine😂🤣)
Omg make homemade yogurt with milk and thick it! How cursed would that be? 😂
Simply Orange has a Extra Pulp version. It does not pour easily, and you have to chew it. So good.
Extra pulp is heavenly 🤩
ohhhh I better recommend that to my brother he loves pulp!!! thank you
Evan, I’m counting your blessings for you that it wasn’t Clamato! 🤢. Also if you like the orange juice concentrate, we also put one container of it in with mashed sweet potatoes and some ginger and it’s delicious!
My daughter is 2 and has to use thickener level nectar because she aspirates on liquids. She used to be on honey thickness. I’m thankful for the dysphasia outreach project as they have provided us with thickner as it’s not covered by insurance even with a diagnosis.
OMG I used to eat the conectrated orange juice as well. I have made myself sick on that.
my poor brother did this at age 14 not knowing what concentrated orange juice was for 😂😂😂 I was younger than him so got a real kick out of knowing something he didn't
YES. Eating the frozen concentrate. You just unlocked one of my core memories too!
The plot thickens…
that green machine stuff is amazing. i love all those lil smoothies
You should do a milkshake! Extra thick😂
You have to be careful with that. I did it and immediately, there were all these boys in my yard.
I literally watch every sponsor break (or whatever you call them) they're so funny It's impossible to skip!
Can we just take a moment to talk about how flawless Katelynn's eyebrows are...
The chaos allll over Katelyns face when she introduced the last "juice"
When you said tomato paste/sauce i immediately thought of putting it on a pizza 😅
I think thick dark chocolate almond milk made thick would be so good.
"don't think about it, just eat it. put it in your mouth" Evan.....
22:10 The look on Katelyn's face at the chaos gremlin appearing, what even is that emotion? a mix of mild surprise and disappointment followed quickly by the urge of sarcasm
