I kinda agree that Claire should call a lifeline when she feels like she's had enough.

Also, Combos would be a great Gourmet Makes episode.

Never considered bechamel for lasagna. Now I know.

Bad Boys 4 Life! Not sure which is Will Smith and which is Martin Lawrence, though.

Yeah. Farideh is really fun. She's even funner to watch when she goes through like a whole bottle of wine during shooting.

I watched it with my friend last night and that Mentos episode was one for the record books. What a disastrous undertaking.

I only ever knew lasagne with bechamel growing up. Not a fan of ricotta in general, so I'm happily sticking with it! Have a lasagne in the oven now actually, but not a fancy one.

I'm more comfortable with the schadenfreude episodes than most, but it was really nice having what was effectively a Claire victory lap after the torture that was Jelly Bellies.

Terrible episode. Claire didn't struggle at all! /s

Anytime I go to one of those cold slab/creamery places (which I call slabberies), I get coffee ice cream with pistachios folded in. So, I was yelling at my screen when Claire was asking for suggestions for flavors. I was disappointed, but I still have that flavor all to myself. And, yes, that BA ice cream art is amazing.

I want an entire Claire ice cream franchise.

Can't deal with the BA chefs not liking double brownie but if Claire made my favorites then i'd buy it

I have such an opposite ice cream taste to Claire. I don't want no coffee or pistachio nonsense. Gimme chocolate with all kinds of chunks of cookies and candy and peanut butter explosions.

What?

I don't understand. Isn't Ben and Jerry's just ICE CREAM? Why is this a Gourmet Makes? I'm really confused.

(that said I will allow it because MINT-FUCKING-CHIP, CLAIRE)

Also it's almost like BA knew people would riot after Jelly Belly nearly destroyed Claire and had this ready to go to mollify the crowds.

If you haven't had homemade ice cream I can see how this would be hard to understand, but it's basically on another level entirely. It also takes a fair amount of know-how when it comes to distilling the flavors you want and getting it right early on. That's the gourmet part, really.

The issue might actually be that I haven't had Ben and Jerry's recently. I've been getting into homemade ice cream over the past few years and even bought a standalone(-ish) machine to replace the stand mixer freezer bowl I was using before. It was harder to keep the bowl cold long enough and the stand mixer introduces a lot of air for a fluffier ice cream that doesn't feel particularly gourmet (though it's nice in its own way). But it's winter so I haven't tried the new ice cream mixer yet.

I just assumed Ben & Jerry's would just be higher fat and/or less air to make a denser ice cream. But hey, maybe this is why I don't get to decide on Gourmet Makes subjects!

Of course the ice cream machines play ice cream truck tunes. Of course.

Now if you'll excuse me, I shall be heading to the freezer and grabbing some vanilla bean Haagen Dazs.

This episode was fantastic. Everyone was so happy at the end. Now I really want some ice cream.

Somewhat tangential but:

Is there a "correct" way to soften a pint of ice cream to optimal consistency? This feels like the kind of thing some overly aggressive professional chef weighed in on that everyone lost their minds over in a way that I can benefit from.

i just think it achieves optimal consistency when you have it out of the fridge for 5-10 minutes

i experience this in real time because i just eat out of the pint
