As someone who went to culinary school, I love watching Worst Cooks and Worst Bakers. I frequently find myself laughing at the things they do or the questions they ask. But I could never be Anne Burrell, or whoever she has as the second chef (which has included Bobby Flay, Alton Brown, Rachel Ray, and Tyler Florence, among others).
Only the first episode of every season is like this for the first ten minutes. After that they do progressively more advanced lessons to where they are pretty good by the end of the season.
Absolutely salt your pasta water. But it should more accurately be “season” your water. “Like the sea” is an absolutely insane instruction for anyone who’s tasted the literal sea. It’s incredibly salty.
No, you should heavily salt it, but idk it ends up being just around 2 Tb or so for a big pot of water. It should be salty tasting otherwise why are we salting it at all? At it cooks and softens the unsalted pasta absorbs some of the salt. I have found the effect to be far more noticeable in fresh pasta than fresh though
I feel like even in today’s age, some of these folks would have been done in by survival of the fittest. I think they are probably actually bad cooks, but are playing it up for TV. I remember that the first season felt more realistic.
I started watching from the beginning, the first 3-4 seasons are mostly real (maybe one or two people fake it to get on TV but they do it in a believable way) but by season 5 it's nothing but wacky bullshit nobody would ever do without staging.
It's unfortunate because the early seasons are really fun and authentic it's very obvious when production changes their strategy and starts staging everything.
There’s a woman who is taught to make a tofu dish and forgets the instructions. Then starts shouting “my toofoo isn’t melting! My toofoo isn’t melting!!” As time runs out, while she’s smashing the crap out of it with a spatula. Bobby Flay is like, “it’s not cheese. Relax.” That scene cracks me up every time.
Also Adip cutting onions. He goes through like 8 onions while Chef Anne is yelling at him from above. And I swear he’s trying not to cry but he just doesn’t understand how to cut an onion. Poor guy.
How much they improve over the course of the show with coaching. There are two teams, each with a different chef mentor who is trying to teach them over the course of the show, so the mentor is trying to have their team win too. I haven’t watched in several years, but I think the elimination is based on who did the worst in the challenge or who followed directions the worst? These clips might all be from the initial challenge where the contestants kind of have free rein to make a “signature” dish without the instruction from the mentor.
I don’t think I could survive a whole episode!

There’s a worst bakers? Where do you watch it??
I saw a season on Hulu. Don't have a subscription anymore, so I don't know if they still have any seasons of it, though.

Man, rest in peace Chef Anne Burrell.
Im so bummed about it ☹️
Wow, I didn't know she passed
Dang, I still can't get over that the blonde girl is gone. She was pretty funny.
Chef Anne 😭 She’s the one who taught me to salt my pasta water “like the sea”
Which I always assumed was a running joke with chefs until I found out some actually believe it. 😬
Hold on, are you not supposed to heavily salt your pasta water?

Okay good. Because I add an obnoxious amount of salt. Makes the pasta blend into the sauce better if you ask me
Ikr, it's crazy.
Wait when did that happen??
The 17th
Oh wow. A week ago. I had no idea.
Certainly caught me off guard, I only knew cause reddit
Someone please tell me where I can watch this whole thing

I feel like a lot of this is staged, at least I hope to god it is!

Bruh avocado girl has cracked up lips 😭
What show is this?
Worst Cooks in America. It’s a Food Network show that’s on Prime, Hulu, Max, and Discovery+ (among others).
Has like 20 seasons too
How did they not even mention my favorite the guy trying to make the grilled cheese by grilling the cheese directly. I cry laugh every time
Ain't no way in hell these are real adults... not a single one of them
"For a sharper cut or what?"
😳 what is this and where can I watch 🧐
Worst Cooks in America
Seriously 😅 I thought it was just commentary. How are they judging them? Like worst of the worst or best of the worst?

Oh that's interesting, this would be a good show to watch to learn something as well as have fun 😊
Has to be fully scripted
Where can I watch this show? I always wanted to but never got around to it
