    I actually toyed with the idea of making a YouTube channel dedicated to recreating food from other channels and only showing the clean-up. Like “thanks for the tip Babish now I get to scrape off sticky eldritch bullshit from a ridiculously tiny whisk AGAIN” and “we’re going to soak these plates for at least an hour because we fell asleep as soon as the guests left and the sauce hardened into concrete”.

    Any YouTube money would’ve gone into a dishwasher fund. I would’ve reviewed the dishwasher after buying it and that would’ve been the last video on the channel.

      This is the kind of idea that works and actually makes your chanel relatively popular.

      Throw in effective cleaning tips for the worst stuck-on crud, and I’m there. Acids, abrasives, bleach, ammonia, detergents, brillo, scotch-brite, magic erasers, scrapers, heat, cold1, steam… they all have their place but a lot of people aren’t aware of the best tool for the job. Plus there’s already people watching power washing, lawn mowing, and snow removal on youtube - the audience is already there for a clean sink.

      I would’ve reviewed the dishwasher after buying it and that would’ve been the last video on the channel.

      That’s begging for a collab with Technology Connections.

      1 - throw bacon grease into a ceramic coffee mug and refrigerate; other materials may not handle the temperature shock and break. After it’s set it’s easily used as a cooking fat. Also, it’s now solid enough to sit in the kitchen garbage without leaking everywhere.

          I’m sure you can figure something out. One can always take the Casually Explained release cycle for videos.

          Some people just enjoy watching messes disappear. That’s the entertainment.
