"Restraint is one of the greatest weapons you can have." Weapons. Not tool, weapon. Penny out here cooking in a war zone.

“Who is going to clean that” 100% me in every movie I watch 🤣🤣🤣🤣

idk why people are angry that she's accurately breaking things down, literally the whole point of the video. you're great, penny!

Bridesmaid review: "She is clearly depression baking." That had me roaring.

I love that Penny was honest and kind. She didn’t tear apart every little thing. She gave them the benefit of the doubt, recognizing that not everyone is trying to be a professional. Which made it much more pleasing to watch.

“Who knew being judgmental was gonna pay off for me in the long run” hahah. Great job VF for getting an awesome person for this new segment. I’m sure her business will get a boost too

This is the sort of stuff I say while watching The Great British Bake Off but I can't bake a cake

Yep!..."Who's cleaning that up?" is what I always think, too. Food fights and eating contests both disgust me.😒 Thank you Penny for bring judgemental!❤️

Finally, someone who admits fondant is NOT great. I will never have my wedding cake be wrapped in or come close to fondant. Eww!

She should do exclusively British Bake Off, I love that show and need a insiders perspective

I love hearing knowledgeable people talk about what they know

to everyone who likes Penny; she also does the three levels & ingredient swap shows on epicurious !!!

I love her! I expected her to know stuff about cooking and baking ofc but she knows her movies/series as well! Her gushing about Big Night and the commentary on Chocolat is just *chef’s kiss*

What I like about her reviews is she doesnt just reviewing the baking skills but also what it does to the storytelling of the movie. I like it when she said that chocolate is a character in the movie. Great stuff!

I think the time effery in GBBS is not just to build tension to make it seem like everything is coming together at the last second, but also because they really don't want us to see the completed item until it reaches the judges. If someone's managing their time well, the cake might look nearly complete during the last ten minutes, and they can't really use that footage, at least not in full shots.

1: I love it when professional women who are good at their craft speak confidently and don't apologize for "showing off" their knowledge and skills. Amazing! 2: I wonder what she would have to say about The Hundred Foot Journey. It's a family favorite, and the food is its own character.

Ok but are we gonna talk about "The Princess Switch" first film, where she made it 3 hours into a 5 hour cake competition and just then realized her stand mixer cord was cut...and then her only worry was "how will I puree the berries?!"...

I love watching The Great British Baking Show. Never ever take those 5 minutes left (or any minutes left) for any reality show. Blame (or credit) the director for the quick dramatic shots and the editor for putting the "icing" on the drama content with quick cuts.

Bring her back for part 2!! She's amazing at explaining things and her craft

Penny’s unimpressed face at the flour fight is SENDING me lmao

I will never get annoyed at a professional being "nit-picky". I adore opportunities to observe a professional hone their craft, it's so educational and inspiring.

I really love how she pointed out how to fix or improve mistakes. I didn't find her judgemental at all lol

All the "ask a ex-con about movie and TV crime" segments is fun and all, but asking a proper baker about movie baking is great too. XD

Way to go Penny!!!!!

Penny: Because if it is 4 hours and they’re still giggling and high after it, I wanna know who their dealer is. Heisenberg: Say my name…

The pause before “who’s cleaning that up “ 😭😭😭

Love it that she clearly not only deeply understands baking but also film!

I really liked the Chef, her food must be really delicious cuz we can see how much love she has for cooking

bring her back more times!! this chef is awesome

I would love to see what a professional chef thinks of the cooking scenes in Hannibal.

I'm with Penny. I never like food fight scenes. Not just because of the mess but because of the wastefulness.

"Who knew being judgemental was going to pay off for me?" That got me. 😆 Good 'ole Chef Penny.

I chose this video because it was Penny. I've seen her on Epicurious as one of the 3 chefs making some dish. She is the pro of course.

For Chef Favreau actually trained with Roy Choi, shadowed him, worked as part of Choi's crew and trained at a culinary school. Would be awful if it wasn't correct. 😆

Die hard GBBO fan, but the timing manipulation always bothers me! Satisfying to see Penny debunk it too

She had me at "Who's cleaning that up" at the opening of the video. Amen to that, sister!

10:10 - A lot of people think they're playing it safe on pie dough if the countertop and rolling pin are made of marble or granite, because there's this misconception that these materials are inherently "colder" than other materials. In reality, a marble countertop and rolling pin will be the same temperature as a wooden countertop and rolling pin in the same room. The reason stone _feels_ cold is because these materials hold more heat and conduct heat more quickly. Our skin is warmer than room temperature, so when we touch a stone surface, the stone surface is going to draw heat out of our hands. But if you're colder than room temperature (for example, if you're some butter that has just come out of the fridge, or you're some pie dough made with cold water), the stone surfaces is going to push heat _into_ the dough, warming it um more quickly than a stone surface would. Of course, the rolling pin can be chilled in the fridge, but then you might get a lot of condensation forming on it when you pull it out, which could make things less rolly and more slidey.

I love this. If she could exclusively critique baking shows, I'd tune in.

For me, the most in-your-face editing GBBO moment was when they were making a technical challenge where they had to use a lot of food coloring and some bakers had their fingers stained really bad. The thing is those bakers had their fingers already stained in the signature challenge.. and that's chronologically not possible! Did they travel in time?

I could listen to this woman talk all day. Im a professional chef and I really feel like she represents us and how we think. Thanks for making this video and allowing this woman share our true perspective.

16:37 I like how everything is just silent for a second, while she judges the scene with the greatest amount of judgement possible.

I like her, shes like a real movie goer and a chef its kind of perfect

When I was in college I rented a guest house and I always had at least 4-5 friends staying there with me. We had a flour fight one time. It started with someone getting a handful of flour thrown in their face. Then it was on. We threw flour all around the whole house. All over the hardwood floors. We tried sweeping it up and it just spread it around. We tried mopping it up and it just turned to dough. I lived there for two years and was never able to get all the flour.

“I wanna know their dealer is” - 😂

9:49 Penny is the best. This is going to be my new favourite reaction video for "I'm gonna give you a pass but I know you know what you did."

I always knew that the timing in the Great British Baking show was off. They edit it for entertainment and intensity. But the cakes and flavors are really what I’m there for anyways 😄😁😋

I really appreciate Penny's point of view. She includes a lot of positives with her critiques.

At 4:33 "And look at Marc Anthony... my god!". He was so young in that movie...and suited the role too as the innocent and naive cook in the kitchen.

I love Penny and how she expresses passion for her craft. Excellent choice of a featured guest.

Love this woman. She’s so funny. I would like to see her back again. There’s plenty of food in tv shows and movies.

Please bring her back to review Waitress. I’d love to know what she thinks about the pies in that movie.

"If it is four hours and they're still giggling and high after it, I wanna know who their dealer is" Lmao me too.

I’m a nurse and an amateur baker (I sell cakes and stuff sometimes, but not in a bakery) so baking/cooking and medical shows drive me insane 🤣🤣

16:40 "Who's cleaning that up...?" The overworked Production Assistants on the set. Take 14, and rolling!

She's awesome, please bring Penny back! 😻

In Bridesmaids, looks like she made enough for a whole dozen of cupcakes BUT she only filled one cupcake well.

This woman is ruthless in the best way hahah golden commentary, especially on the Hallmark stuff 💀

there should be more videos of her reacting!!! loved it!!!!

Eyyy, it's cool we finally got bakers in this series! 😄

I had 3 chefs in my family and grew up around a lot of other chefs. A chef we knew, snapped on night stormed into the dining room and abused a customer like this, all while carrying his chefs knife and threatening. He got into a LOT of trouble. When Chefs snap, they snap.

I love that she feels the same way I do about food fight scenes. They really are the worst.

I love her!! Please bring her back for a part 2!

I adore this woman and how she speaks

This must be the first Penny video where she didn't mention/use alcohol :D

Very enjoyable video. I'd watch a whole series of cooking critique scenes.

I love Chef Penny even more after watching the last 5 minutes of this video

Yes! Thank you for saying all the things I am usually thinking as a pastry chef. The scene in Bridesmaids made me irrationally upset. There’s enough ingredients there for at least a half dozen. And she used a liquid measuring cup for flour!! 😳

She had me at "Who's gonna clean all that up?"🤣🤣🤣

oh we definitely need more Penny, this was great

I would watch a professional baker comment on all seasons of GBBO

We want her again specifically for Rattatouie.... Who's up for that ?

More Penny!!! I always love to see her

I really want to eat something baked by Penny. She is so knowledgeable about her craft.

Penny!!! Yay! I completely agree about food fight scenes 😘 maybe that's just because I'm usually the one doing cleanup. 😂

Love this chef. She reminds me of Rosie O’Donnell a bit. And I don’t mean that in a bad way, I love Rosie! Cool vid.

I absolutely love her! More Penny, please!!

Fondant is pretty but it can make a cake dry or awkwardly moist that it felt wet rather than moist

Great to see Penny in this format!

4 levels of cooking let me know this was going to be great.

Chocolat is my favorite movie! I was so excited to see it in the lineup!

"I wanna know who their dealer is" Hahahaha 🤣😂

Penny is awesome! Have her on more!

I'm so glad you did, 'It's Complicated'. I'm not a baker by any means, but the timeline of that scene really bothered me. And i agree with you Penny, i want to meet the dealer. 🤗

Penny!! So great to see her here 🙌🙌🙌🥰🥰🥰

I love her breakdown of everything!!

I never heard about Big Night. Now it is in my watch list. Thank you for sharing it.

Can't wait for a part 2 with her! She's funny!

as musch as i love bridesmaids, I'm glad they covered that cupcake scene. i've always wondered how she made just 1 cupcake. i can barely make make pasta for 2 people.

Bring the "Stank" back! This woman knows her stuff but also brings an intangible levity to all these moments. Really well conveyed. ...still a really tough last name though.

OMG I love her! Bring her back. She was soooo great.

Yay Penny!!! She is always great on 4 levels

I love this video soooo much!!! Please more!! Penny is so great!! And this is a great list of movies i need to watch!

I too like to critique everyone on Bake Off, despite the fact that I would never even attempt any if the things they're making 😅

Penny is my new favorite person on this show! Bring her on again!

Great choice on your expert VF! Chef Penny is awesome!

She’s such a genius in every art the restraint is very much the most powerful tool I’m a pianist and that’s something I learned years in

Oooh, this is so fun! I’m going to look for other videos with this expert and other expert videos, they’re so much fun!

I've watched somewhat a quantity of these kinds of videos and she's the best one so far I have seen.

I loved this so much! I was a pastry chef for over a decade and my partner hates watching movies with food scenes with me, cause i do this.

I would love to see Penny back for another part!
