      Okay, I watched the video and that cookie was bound to be awful.

      • the chocolate was 100% dark, you need to add sugar and/or milk. Most chocolate chips are semi sweet.
      • was that flour even baking flour?
      • something was definitely off with that egg, there was no adhesion.
      • he mismeasured like 4 things due to spillage not tared out. Probably no real difference.
      • I’m suspicious the vanilla extract was done correctly.
      • his mixing sucked
      • an oil based cookie is going to have less flavour than butter based.
      • the actual cook was done wrong because he removed it from the oven. The stuff he saw on the top was likely due to bad mixing, the cracks due to flour. When he removed it and put it back in the vacuum oven it would have just suctioned the cookie outwards instead of rising inside.

      Plus, there was no control cookie from grandma.

        Hey hey hey now. You don’t watch Nile Red to see him do things easily, competently, or even the right way. You watch him to turn vinyl gloves into cherry soda. 😋

          I’ll have to watch more of his videos to assess.

          I did appreciate the energy and the sheer over engineering of it.

          I just think he can do better.

          And we need to know how the impure cookie from grandma tastes out of 10. For science.

            When it comes to chemistry he’s very knowledgeable and has done some really impressive and hard to do chemical reactions. But he’s studied science and chemistry and comes at everything he does from that angle. Which doesn’t always work out how you might think. This being a case in point. Just like the super Red Bull video they did. Or when they created dry pelleted human Chow.

        To be totally fair to him, NileBlue is his second channel where he puts things he’s less proud of. At least that used to be the case, it’s been a minute since I’ve been on YouTube.
