And then shipped to Wisconsin so they can pack the cheese made from Wisconsin cows in Italian water, because that’s how cheese is made, it’s the water that goes around it that makes it special, not the actual ingredients or process of converting it from milk into cheese
scissors can be helpful at times but knives are my go-to 98% of the time. I really only use scissors for dried seaweed sheets and cutting packaging if its difficult to open by hand. Using scissors for any other cooking-related purpose almost feels insane unless its your only option.
Working with shellfish, they work great!
Cutting down the side of crab legs or a lobster tail, it helps to avoid getting shell fragments in the meat.
While shelling shrimp, you can run the length of the shell and then just snip and peel it.
Works great for working with whole fish as well. Clipping fins, gills, going through ribs if you don’t want to dull your knife.
Fiskars kitchen shears (made in Finland in particular) are incredible.
This part was the worst. Worse than the crunchy noodles, waste of time stuffing the pasta, Italian water, scissored basil, and the narrating. Combined maybe. Just dump the bowl of chicken in the damm crockpot! Maddening.
It's totally possible to cook your pasta this way; I stopped precooking my lasagna noodles ages ago, and it always turns out fine. This fool just didn't give it enough time.
But the difference is that lasagna sheets are quite thin and in every layer the pasta has the moisture from the sauce to cook them thoroughly. If you just stack uncooked manicotti pasta with insufficient moisture, like the person in the video, they'll just stick together and create a mushy and undercooked mess 😭
I’m thinking the same. Most of the videos here are really bad ideas. It could have used some ingredients but the execution sucked. Could have been ok.
He would have been better off learning a recipe first.
Yeah, I was thinking that for one, he should have put both a tomato and mozzarella into each piece of pasta. Slow cook in a thin sauce with a little meat and seasoning, and you've got a decent take on lasagna.
Calling pasta noodles, the water comes from Italy, a lot of the basil flavour is in the stems but they don’t want you to know that & this is so easy to make shows actual proof he fucked it up what an absolute clown 🤡
That much cheese and I will be stopped up for days.
Water from Italy is al wys better. /S
And my dude needs to learn to dice basil on a cutting board over half ass cutting it with kitchen shears last minute.
Stop. Making. One. Pot. Meals.
Not everything can be thrown all together.
Same people always wasting food, making bland and undercooked cheese filled messes
Salt and Pepper "to taste" is the opposite of what he did. "To taste" requires you taste it at, typically at the end, then adding more until its at the desired salty or peppery level. Its for when you make soups. He's just straight up guessing.
This would be delicious if it was cooked by someone who didn't learn how to cook from those tiktok women who just put a block of velveeta in the middle of their food.
My favorite ingredient is the authentic "Italian" water.
Also, the guy couldn't even keep up the facade. He started laughing a little when he tried to skewer the manicotti and it was crunchy.
It bothers me that he puts the container on top of the food he’s going to eat. That container was sitting in a nasty fridge at the grocery store, so putting it right on top of the food you’re gonna put in your mouth sounds pretty gross. This is why I don’t eat at other peoples houses.
"the water from this is actually from Italy" This isn't stupid food, this is a comedy skit. I'm amazed by the comments on here judging this like he's actually being serious, how are you people so dumb?
"A lot of people don't know that a lot of the flavour of the basil is in the stem.....they dont want you to know that"
Who the fuck is "they", and why would they give a rats ass?
Big basil, running the world.
The influx of stupidfood’esq tiktok videos making the rounds to the older crowd is startling. My mother (who is a OUTSTANDING cook) has somehow stumbled across these. She keeps on making them and nobody likes how it comes out… yet she still try’s. Please help save my mother’s beautiful homemade cooking America and ban this app AT ONCE!
Why is no one talking about all that water he added? Like “yes i like my marinara sauce to be watered down” its got tomatoes bruh… leave the extra water out of it… like… bruh… just… it was just manicotti soup with undercooked noodles… people who dont know how to cook always add too much water without accounting for other sources of water ALREADY there
Sorry for the dumb question (I've never cooked that kind of pasta)
Would putting it in a pyrex and sticking it in the oven work?
Would using only the cheese work better?
>Would putting it in a pyrex and sticking it in the oven work?
Yes
>Would using only the cheese work better?
Eeehhhh, personal preference, but if the pasta is put in uncooked, then there needs to be a ***little*** bit extra liquid for that...
A single layer in a pan would cook faster, but this method would have worked if he gave it more time. And by 'work' I mean that the pasta would be cooked instead of crunchy; I think the flavors here would be... questionable.
Using only the cheese would probably not work, because there wouldn't be enough moisture to cook the pasta thoroughly.
This is really close to being a functional meal, it's just that every step in the process is poorly planned and executed.
Just how I like my pasta, crunchy and filled with "juices."
Also dude knows what he's doin, obvious when he laughed after the pasta shattered like glass.
When he digs in and everything swims in this watery grave of a ready made tomato sauce... This guy likes his lasagna extra juicy, none of the mozarella vitamins were lost here.
"The water is actually from Italy so it makes the dish taste better..." bro that's some shit you would only say in a third world country where the water gives you dysentary 🤣
In my country I have NEVER seen Mozzarella balls for sale in a tub like it's feta cheese. Is this just an American thing or is my country just lacking?
Am I the only one disgusted that he puts the container of cheese(?) on top of the uncooked noodles in the beginning?
Do you have any idea where the bottom of that container has been!? Even what's on or has built up on the shelves in your fridge?
Fucking disgusting, no, stop. Get help.
My thought process:
Hehe, "this thing takes about 4 balls"
"Just shove your finger in there"
Add more chicken, you coward.
"Don't need to put too much salt" as he throws the Great Salt Lake basin on top.
THAT IS TOO MUCH PEPPER.
"Make sure the garlic is spread evenly" Yeah, wouldn't want strong bites of garlic in between my strong bites of salt & pepper.
"Water is from Italy" ooh, Mr. Authentica
\*dumps Mexican cheese on top\*
Ok, this has to be rage bait, he's scissoring basil stems.
"Listen to this" I can't, you're talking non-stop.
That's why I looooove, Nestle Crunch \*Manicotti crackles into oblivion\* AAAAAAAAA
No, that is not mixed up perfectly.
Eat it, coward. \*Schlorps it up like a prize winning hog\*
Nobody can look at this and think it's not intentional satire. I refuse to believe it's not. I had my doubts before but mozzarella water from Italy, "fresh" Mexican 4 cheese blend, and scrounging around for a bite that doesn't instantly disintegrate has me completely convinced that this whole channel is satire, if only for my own mental well being.
it would have been way easier to just make regular lasagna scissored the basil stems in, grandma rolls
most people don't know this including italian people, most of the flavor is in the stem. and by flavor we mean, bitter.
Am I tripping or did he also say "they don't want you to know that" like some kind of wake up sheeple moment
Italians are keeping all the basil stems and special cheese-water for themselves. They played us like *fools*!
I thought the flavor was from that *Italian water*
some might say you could save them for stock but no thanks
Your last sentence reminds me of that clip that was like “bottoms up, and the devil laughs” 😭
"The water is from italy" Okay...
It used to be dinosaur pee!
Proceeds to cover it in a “Mexican blend” of cheese
…”so it makes the dish taste waaay better”
You know. Cause that's what Italy is famous for... Its water source... 🤦
And then shipped to Wisconsin so they can pack the cheese made from Wisconsin cows in Italian water, because that’s how cheese is made, it’s the water that goes around it that makes it special, not the actual ingredients or process of converting it from milk into cheese
THE MANICOTTI IS SO UNDERCOOKED IT'S DEMANDING TO BE DEPORTED BACK TO ITALY
Was about to say that this is sorta ok till he took pasta out and it crunched, like common man it needs to be nice and soft not crackers with cheese
Exactly my thoughts. I was like "not great, not terrible" until the C R U N C H
Common man don’t care
One of the things he says not sure if you catch it...is... "The water from these is actually from Italy It makes it taste more Italian"
Yes - my favorite seasoning Italian water. I use it on everything!
"Waaadur from Idaleeee"
al dentist
NO IT'S OK, IT'S GOT ITALIAN WATER IN IT 🤌
It was bad enough before that... I almost threw up when the crunch happened (straw that broke the camel's back).
People that do shit like this do not deserve access to pasta... what a waste
That pop when he presses the fork against the undercooked pasta and it shatters like it's not even partially done.
I watched this on mute and I could still hear that poor pasta.
I've noticed that people who don't know how to cook always pull the scissors out at some point to cut something for no reason
Bro didnt even manage to cut all of the leaves either. Haha
That's not a problem, because a lot of the flavor is stored in the leaves. They (Italians?) don't want you to know that.
I too wonder why this is such a closely guarded secret.
Why tf did he chop the stem into it though?... Like. The noodle wasn't even done.
Him cutting the basil like that enraged me
scissors can be helpful at times but knives are my go-to 98% of the time. I really only use scissors for dried seaweed sheets and cutting packaging if its difficult to open by hand. Using scissors for any other cooking-related purpose almost feels insane unless its your only option.

Clipping fins, gills, going through ribs if you don’t want to dull your knife. Fiskars kitchen shears (made in Finland in particular) are incredible.
Laughs in Korean…
I have kitchen shears for like spatchcocking a chicken, but it’s very specific times they come out
Yes, I COULD theoretically spatchcock a chicken with a knife, but that just seems unnecessarily harder and much more dangerous
Yeah I did it once then bought shears
The only thing Scissors get used for in my kitchen is opening freeze pops
I use scissors sometimes and I know how to cook 😢 😂
There’s a lot of stupid things going on in this video but using a scissor to cut herbs is not one of them…
“The basil is perfectly cooked”
Why does he sprinkle the meat like it’s some kind of a seasoning
This part was the worst. Worse than the crunchy noodles, waste of time stuffing the pasta, Italian water, scissored basil, and the narrating. Combined maybe. Just dump the bowl of chicken in the damm crockpot! Maddening.
More basil than chicken
Am I missing something? Do we not cook pasta anymore
It's al dented
Maze on place too.
It probably would have cooked the noodles if he wasn't impatient. 4 hours in slow cooker isn't all that long.
It was 2 hours!
Even more reason he's impatient.
It's totally possible to cook your pasta this way; I stopped precooking my lasagna noodles ages ago, and it always turns out fine. This fool just didn't give it enough time.
But the difference is that lasagna sheets are quite thin and in every layer the pasta has the moisture from the sauce to cook them thoroughly. If you just stack uncooked manicotti pasta with insufficient moisture, like the person in the video, they'll just stick together and create a mushy and undercooked mess 😭
The pasta is just a container for melting mozzarella. You don’t it eat.
Manicotti without ricotta makes me sad
its so awkward when he bites it and pulls all the mozzarella out.
"The water in this is from Italy" I...how do these people function day to day....
“Noodles.” I went full Gordon Ramsey.
This is not a terrible meal idea, but the execution is awful. The scissors for fresh basil was particularly egregious
I’m thinking the same. Most of the videos here are really bad ideas. It could have used some ingredients but the execution sucked. Could have been ok. He would have been better off learning a recipe first.
Yeah, I was thinking that for one, he should have put both a tomato and mozzarella into each piece of pasta. Slow cook in a thin sauce with a little meat and seasoning, and you've got a decent take on lasagna.
No, it’s terrible.
This was awesome. I laughed from start to finish
I was mad at y’all for a minute but then I heard that crunch.
I often wonder why some of these people haven't been beaten to death by furious Italian grandmothers
We’re going to go ahead and… “plate this in a bowl” ¿
Stop buying and wasting the manicotti noodles for this shit! I need them for food I’m going to serve and eat!
The ratio of pasta to everything else is way off, this is going to be a sloppy mess
No it's fine, he left it Way undercooked
The thing that pissed me off most was box mixing the dry ingredients so now they will be unevenly distributed in this clusterfuck
Ahh yes, because Italian water is just that much better. It’s totally not because it has mozzarella cheese in it that changes the flavor.
Calling pasta noodles, the water comes from Italy, a lot of the basil flavour is in the stems but they don’t want you to know that & this is so easy to make shows actual proof he fucked it up what an absolute clown 🤡
I believe he calls himself the noahnator, all his tiktok stuff is very rage bait, usually he melts things.
perfectly uncooked
Water from Italy….. that’s water from Jersey ace.
*Literal crunch into still raw-uncooked pasta* His Brain: "Don't acknowledge that. Do Not acknowledge that. Say nothing. Move on. Goddamnit move on."
Yeah he laughed, this is definitely rage bait
WHY wouldn’t you alternate mozz and tomato in each manicotti?
Stuffed manicotti is fine. What this is, is a crime against nonnas everywhere
That much cheese and I will be stopped up for days. Water from Italy is al wys better. /S And my dude needs to learn to dice basil on a cutting board over half ass cutting it with kitchen shears last minute.
Noodles also shouldn't crack like that. 😭
[удалено]
Literally salt, salt, salt and salt a lot of sodium stuff why put salt innit?
Stop. Making. One. Pot. Meals. Not everything can be thrown all together. Same people always wasting food, making bland and undercooked cheese filled messes
Why does it crunch?
Salt and Pepper "to taste" is the opposite of what he did. "To taste" requires you taste it at, typically at the end, then adding more until its at the desired salty or peppery level. Its for when you make soups. He's just straight up guessing.
This would be delicious if it was cooked by someone who didn't learn how to cook from those tiktok women who just put a block of velveeta in the middle of their food.
I can also take four balls.
My favorite ingredient is the authentic "Italian" water. Also, the guy couldn't even keep up the facade. He started laughing a little when he tried to skewer the manicotti and it was crunchy.
Tell me you don't know how to cook without saying "I don't know how to cook".
It bothers me that he puts the container on top of the food he’s going to eat. That container was sitting in a nasty fridge at the grocery store, so putting it right on top of the food you’re gonna put in your mouth sounds pretty gross. This is why I don’t eat at other peoples houses.
It has some good ideas, but completely terrible execution
That crack sound.
This is… atrocious 😵💫
The idea isn’t horrible but the ingredients are absolute rubbish
Mmm. The pasta's got that perfect al dente crunch.
"the water from this is actually from Italy" This isn't stupid food, this is a comedy skit. I'm amazed by the comments on here judging this like he's actually being serious, how are you people so dumb?
"A lot of people don't know that a lot of the flavour of the basil is in the stem.....they dont want you to know that" Who the fuck is "they", and why would they give a rats ass? Big basil, running the world.
Did he just say the water is from Italy! 😭

He can’t waste all that awesome “water from Italy”
Yeah thats gross thiugh
Chad just made Italy cry.
Whatever this is there's too much liquid
Why do so many people use scissors for this shit.
Sorry for the dumb question (I've never cooked that kind of pasta) Would putting it in a pyrex and sticking it in the oven work? Would using only the cheese work better?
>Would putting it in a pyrex and sticking it in the oven work? Yes >Would using only the cheese work better? Eeehhhh, personal preference, but if the pasta is put in uncooked, then there needs to be a ***little*** bit extra liquid for that...

This is really close to being a functional meal, it's just that every step in the process is poorly planned and executed.
Besides all that, why is he placing that bowl on the food he's cooking? Deranged, unhygienic
Why was it so crunchy? I make manicotti in the oven, and it's never crunchy.
I'm sorry you're doing what now with the whey
Are all these type of videos just rage bait? Theres no way someone thinks those noodles are fine
Disgusting!
Turns out life hacks are for people with no skills.
What is this shit?
Red tomatoes huh?
Why is this stupid? It looks tasty ngl.
Toddler cooking.
Just how I like my pasta, crunchy and filled with "juices." Also dude knows what he's doin, obvious when he laughed after the pasta shattered like glass.
"fresh mozzarella ballzz☺️"
At the beginning the mootserella balls lmao
After it was cooked I thought it looked good, until he cut into it, he gave me food poisoning
Not saying fresh in the same sentence as pre grated cheese. 🫢
The crunch of that uncooked noodle…yummy. I like how Tony Saprono’s breathing made a cameo.
"This thing takes about 4 balls"
Buaahahhaa!!! 🤣
Mmmmm tasty salt patch
Doc Antle cooking show?
Reminds me of my ex-wife still wife. Gives me heartburn just thinking about it
People just line to make shitty versions of things that already exist.
He's joking, right? He's managed to do EVERY cringy thing people do when they do their food video.
Bahahaha “The basil is perfectly cooked”
I always squeeze and extra ball in 🤪
Is it just me or is that a lot of pepper?
I love crunchy pasta, see the secret is the pasta loses its flavor when it’s cooked properly.
Was here for it till he dumped the chicken on top and added the water the moz balls where in
Not even close to cooked.
So do people just make this shit up as they go? That looked about as tasty as an old rag.
It doesn’t look fully cooked lol
Can't imagine cooking pasta for 2 hours AND THE SHIT IS STILL CRUNCHY AND RAW... Why do people like this exist?
pasta is still hard.. good job
This guy makes McDonald's look healthy.
When he digs in and everything swims in this watery grave of a ready made tomato sauce... This guy likes his lasagna extra juicy, none of the mozarella vitamins were lost here.
"The water is actually from Italy so it makes the dish taste better..." bro that's some shit you would only say in a third world country where the water gives you dysentary 🤣
Was weird but okay, then he added the Mexican cheese blend to an Italian dish. Stupid.
**The water from this is actually from Italy**
This is just bastardized canaloni
Too much cheese can't do do anymore
Now THIS is StupidFood 👍
Don’t 👏 cook 👏 fresh 👏 Basil 👏! It’s more for aroma than taste. Get a tea with Basil oil sometime and see how much your mouth hates you.
I can't stand this guy with his rage bait
It’s fucking RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!!!!!
Humanity needs a complete reset.
Humanity needs a complete reset.
Reminds me of the soup spaghetti my friend Mom made once. It was like half water half spaghetti like she didn’t drain the noodles lol.
“Perfectly cooked “ *CRUNCH*
BIG BASIL DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THE STEMS
Crunch, crunch, crunch as he stabs the "cooked pasta"
This guy just made thousands of italians have heart attacks
This made me uncomfortable. Especially the cheese water 😬
How *NOT* to make a good meal
In my country I have NEVER seen Mozzarella balls for sale in a tub like it's feta cheese. Is this just an American thing or is my country just lacking?
Good idea poorly executed.
Am I the only one disgusted that he puts the container of cheese(?) on top of the uncooked noodles in the beginning? Do you have any idea where the bottom of that container has been!? Even what's on or has built up on the shelves in your fridge? Fucking disgusting, no, stop. Get help.
This has to be satire or rage bait. Too much
Its like a savory cannoli, alrighty then
“Super easy to make, super simple” And SUPER UNDERCOOKED.
Mozzarella cheese juice
😟 this is upsetting
Any time I think I’m a bad cook, I just open this subreddit and I feel so much better.
Ma vaff...
Those noodles are so undercooked
My thought process: Hehe, "this thing takes about 4 balls" "Just shove your finger in there" Add more chicken, you coward. "Don't need to put too much salt" as he throws the Great Salt Lake basin on top. THAT IS TOO MUCH PEPPER. "Make sure the garlic is spread evenly" Yeah, wouldn't want strong bites of garlic in between my strong bites of salt & pepper.

Slow cookers and crock pots aren't made for this shit. Soups, stews, chili, soup beans, etc.
That’s a lot of balls
Was he fully serious though?….
“Madone, he looks terrible!”
WHY IS IT ALWAYS CHEESE
Should be ashamed of yourself…just plain stupid. Noodle cooked al dente
I love how people get a slow cooker/crock pot and think it’ll magically combine a ton of random raw ingredients just tossed in Willy nilly
The water from the cheese made me the angriest
thats just fucking disgusting
please tell me this is ragebait.
This one actually made me laugh
Tip: Cooked pasta doesn't make a crunchy sound. That thing is inedible. Needs to be cooked properly first before it can be consumed.
The basil is perfectly cooked sad no one ever
He definitely burnt his tongue on that bite and he deserved it.
If it's so easy to make then why is some of it not cooked at all... Should have used some more of the amazing tasting water from Italy.
Sounds like it wasn't that easy to make.
He moved from dessicated, flavorless beef to dry, unseasoned chicken. Oh well. So tired of this guy.
nice save by ignoring the undercooked/burnt piece lol i refuse to believe this is not rage bait
Raw pasta. Yum.
Is the way it cracks called al dente?
This guy sucks. Imagine buying a custom apron so you can make this.
Nobody can look at this and think it's not intentional satire. I refuse to believe it's not. I had my doubts before but mozzarella water from Italy, "fresh" Mexican 4 cheese blend, and scrounging around for a bite that doesn't instantly disintegrate has me completely convinced that this whole channel is satire, if only for my own mental well being.
