Pastry Chef Attempts To Make Gourmet Cheetos | Bon Appétit

This particular series is super interesting to me. Seriously. The entire process, challenges, trial and error, setbacks and ultimate success. Claire is awesome. 👍

It is! And it kind of makes me appreciate the original product as well. Shows that they probably worked alot to get the fast food stuff right.

@Tosh T Claire surely is awesome. Shame she doesn't think the same about you! Sorry, sorry. I'm working on that. I'm working on it. Please forgive me well, you do anyway don't you? I don't even need to ask, since you've already forgiven me. So, thanks. I guess. Goodbye.

I love how much Claire loves the junk food she tries to replicate.I love the feedback and camaraderie with the test kitchen coworkers. I love that the failures are just steps toward getting things right. I love this series!

I am all about the streak of grey in Claire's hair 😍

i love her so much

It's from all the brainstorming

I laughed way harder than I should have watching the dehydrated squares of cheese flail around in the vitamix

It was hilarious

Having worked at the factory, I can assure that Cheetos are NOT fried.They use a process similar to frying, which is called extrusion. After the pastry gets cut into shape, it goes in a conveyor belt, inside the extruder. This machine sprays hot oil on the pastry for a certain amount of time. There is no flavours added so far.Then, when it cools down a little bit, on another conveyor belt, it is dropped into a drum with the flavouring and colouring. This drum works like a tumble dryer and the thing s...

So it's like airfrying?

I prefer the ordinal Cheeto's instead of the crunchy ones. The crunchy ones look like someone sucked the air out of the Cheeto's.
