Of course Claire quit being a girl scout because she was too competitive and couldn't handle not selling the most cookies. That's so fitting lol.

the cookie the cookie itself the cookie do you need a hand let me hand it to ya [Laughter] [Music] hey everyone I'm Claire we're in the VA Test Kitchen and today I'm making gourmet Girl Scout cookies this box looks like it's been opened guilty Christmas cookies are sold only through actual girls children and it's only certain times of the year in different parts of the country so we had to basically put in like a special order I don't know I have an agro smoke leaves in a very long time I don't see any Girl Scouts around to like order cookies from [Laughter] really good with kids I just don't talk to them that much I was a parent for one season and my friends and I all did it together and we sold girls I think I felt like 40 boxes and I was like this is hard we went up a down the Seahawks of our neighborhood not that many people bought it but like the person who one smelled like 342 and I was never gonna do that and then I was like I don't think I'm so into this all right so this has been man such a good cookie I love them in there's such a good size oh just such a good little cookie so crisp so simple these are so good as soon as you bite in you get some of the like aroma of the mint it's just so good it's just so perfectly balanced caramel Delites a kay Samoas Simoes are my favorite cuz I like coconut like as a recipe developer I wish that I had come up with this shape and decoration for cookie it's so fun and playful it looks like very much kind of a shortbread type cookie and then there's caramel toasted coconut flakes and some kind of chocolate thing the cookie itself is really tender but all the texture really comes from the coconut which is very very chewy it was really sweet what next the tag-along crispy cookies layered with peanut butter and covered with a chocolaty coating how'd that happened god I love peanut butter in a better in chocolate looks like it's a lighter chocolate coating than Finn mint this is the darker chocolate and this is lighter in this cookie there's around kind of shortbread e cookie then like a smaller disc of peanut butter filling in the center and then covered in chocolate what's good about these is the saltiness of the peanut butter other top three these are new we have this scoop on lemon up crispy lemon cookies baked with inspiring messages to lift your spirit I am creative oh my god I am a go-getter I'm a leader I'm gutsy I am strong I love these were you a Girl Scout yeah really did you did you win like sell the most yes it was you just found the most cookies I guess not um what's your favorite yeah it came Samoas in texas they were called Samoas they're so sweet I know they're so sweet what flavor or flavors should I make for this episode I think you should go with our big three Thin Mint Samoa tag-along okay this is the only girls that matters Wow they weren't always called Samoans like when I was growing up those caramel Delites we won the great cookies of the world okay so we agreed on three what are the three yeah agreed I feel good about those that's what I would have said from the beginning this could not be easier by the way could do this blindfolded so I'm gonna clean this off and then we'll start to do a little research let me measure these okay so a thin mint four and a half centimeter diameter Tagalongs are also four and a half these are all four and a half the working theory is that all of these cookies are made out of the same cookie same dough I mean these look very very similar the tag-along cookie looks like it has a depression and I'm a little bit surprised that though at the shape because it's not actually just a depression there's like a weird little like buttons lip around the center I might have to make two separate types of cookies one that's only Thin Mint and then one that's a cookie that I can use in both the Samoan a toggle on the mint is definitely in the cookie it's a little hard to tell if it's also in the coating time for my favorite part reading the ingredients I'll start with Thin Mints enriched wheat flour parenthesis our niacin reduced iron diamine mononitrate riboflavin lacasa close friends sugar vegetable oil or dependency home and palm kernel oil spread Otzi cocoa parenthesis process with alkali close friend if see here I'm alcohol i fructose corn cereal baking soda or less than not an artificial flavor oh is this crispy chocolate wafers dipped in a mint fudge coating which leads me to believe that the according to this the mint is only in the coating now this says Chris but chocolatey cookies made with natural oil of peppermint are they different sizes is one of these bootleg these have different descriptions on the boxes and different ingredients so this one says manufactured for little brownie bakers well this one says manufactured by ABC Baker / inter baked foods LLC one company is probably making Samoas and one is making marketing the same cookie as caramel Delites they all have the same base line of ingredients and then this one is peppermint extract this one has peanut butter and this has sweetened condensed milk and coconut I want to go see what I can find online medicine grows companies in order one finis to turn will go light flash Samoas three Tagalongs okay so you picked the top three ah how gross the cookies are made here we are did you know that shoot yes we didn't know that how that Tagalongs are filled they're not like piping the filling into the center of the buttons they're just coating the whole thing little brownie bakers in Louisville Kentucky Oh north of Sioux City South Dakota is the other one Wow so I feel like I've been eating a little brownie bakers one and not a ballute bakers okay so this is saying that the mint flavor is in the coating what a great video it's so fast the precedent Oh a really dramatic wreath shape so the wreath shapes has a similar kind of well going around the whole circumference of the wreath and that I think it's so that it can be filled with the caramel here's my plan I'm gonna start with making I think one kind of cookie dough and I can play for some of it with chocolate to see if I can get three cookies out of one dough preparation my approach for the dough is to do something shortbread like but with kind of a sawblade textures okay so I'm starting with the butter I'll add the sugar and then a little bit of vanilla I'm measuring out the flour then two tablespoons cornstarch kosher salt baking powder all right so here's my dough I'm gonna chill this down put it in here and then day two will really be about the actual cookie trying to figure out mold styling in taste and texture on day one at the end of the day I made cookie dough and then I was like this to chill but then I left for two weeks so I'm gonna actually just make that same exact same dough recipe again so I can bake it I test it out all right [Music] this has been freezing for a while it's maybe a little thick but actually the girl who used are a little thick this is just a test for texture and flavor so I don't I'm not concerned about cutting cookies that are the same size or thickness well that wasn't so fast all right well I'm thinkin salt so the cookies held their shape for the most part but you can see there's this lacy edge where it it's kind of spread a little bit but that also could be because the oven was just really really hot so I might have had a little more flour cornstarch that's pretty good minus the burnt part well I think I did too good a job it's very Airy very crisp and also very tender this is a little fragment of the interior of the tag-along they look similar in terms of structure actually very similar in terms of airiness and texture my version is a little more tender a little bit not more crumbly but just falls apart more easily but I love the flavor I think it's actually pretty close on a first try this time I'm gonna add a bit of egg white a little bit more flour and a little left point starch my god your stash oh my god I didn't even see it why didn't anyone say anything these are your badges yeah they're my dad my god it's on the front and back oh yeah yeah alright talk to me about these here's a square-dancing patch thinking des sports I think it looks good it's looking right [Music] [Music] oh they look perfect the surfaces are pale there's a little bit of golden around the edge I think it's the right amount of doneness that was almost 10 minutes they are basically right at four and a half centimeters which is where I wanted them to be bottoms look good little a little bit of golden I don't like the cornstarch in it I think it's giving it kind of a grainy texture so I might switch to all flour but maybe I'll do cake flour because I want them to be very light actually it's very very close in terms of texture I might just make those quick tweaks of swapping out cornstarch swapping in cake flour for all of the flour question if you were gonna get a badge what would your badge before this is make me realize that I've accomplished like what would your badge be for I think you get patience okay what about the goodbye it'd be the leisure badge dedicating myself to a lifestyle of leisure 20 [Music] fasten the curious badge I've watched all oh well have the time there are only eight movies but I watch them all in one week unless you can drive like they drive and fast in the Furious you don't have to fasten for your practice but I could learn this is black cocoa we use this for the Oreo episode it is cocoa that's been treated in multiple times with an alkali this is peppermint extract I've used it many times all right I'm gonna taste the dough it doesn't really taste the least bit like chocolate but has it Travel encoding so maybe that's okay oh my god about the friendship and encouragement I betcha that's a good one you're doing a great job I really do value our time that we spend together thank you no.8 Delaney sorry that was for rota rota gets that one I don't want that don't try to just find things ability don't do it okay the dough is looking great I'm gonna pop this in the freezer and try to figure out some kind of a mold or a stamp for the tag-along cookies all right here's our old friend this is this food-grade putty or when I mix the two colors I don't know what the temas tree is but then it starts just set and it has to cure for 20 minutes and then it is a usable somewhat flexible silicone mold and then I don't think it's cheating but I think for the best thing to do would be to make an impression of the cookie in the mold and then use that to punch out the dough I wish I had done this on something I could then move because now I can't move in but in 20 minutes I'll pop out the cookie and the mold should be ready in the meantime I'll punch out some of the cookies the center of the SMO is one centimeter in diameter so I have to find a one centimeter cutter looking for like a a large ish round tip all right I forgot about the part where the there's like a moat inside the wreath and the caramel sits and rests in to that I'm looking for a circle like this size but that's not so sharp do you want to use my bottle the goal is to create a little channel running all the way around the cookie I think that this is important for the Samoa because if there's nowhere for the caramel to go it's just gonna run right off the cookie so I think it's important and giving the caramel like an anchor something to stick to they look good they help that channel relatively well better than I was hoping actually I don't know if it's going to be enough of a space for the caramel a loosening it was a really good first pass the chocolate ones puffed up quite a bit which I'm surprised by but that might be because I worked that dough a lot more that's for Asamoah there's like a channel for the caramel to run through I know I'm sorry yeah it's just awesome okay good I didn't know where you were going with that I could take a little more chocolate flavor I love them oh really okay and it's gonna get dipped anyway Shirley so this is delicious okay greatings wanted o to rule them all well now it's actually gonna be two dough's because I'm gonna I think I'll keep the black cocoa but then add maybe some judge process and I'll keep the peppermint the same I think it could also be drier I mean snappier so like this there's a wetness in the center yeah so okay so that was a good test I want to come back to the mold I made up the Tagalog just pop that guy out it took a pretty nice impression of it the downside is that I have to kind of form them one at a time and then show them and then pop them out and then form another one the last thing I'll do today is isolate the cookies from maybe three Tagalongs make more moulds of just those and leave them overnight [Music] tomorrow will be about forming and baking all of the cookies and then I might be able to move on to some of those coatings and caramel filling for the Samoas and that kind of thing all right day three I feel like a lot of things happen on day three I want to look at the molds that I made for Tagalongs they look pretty good nice defined button shapes what I'm gonna do now is make a two x recipe of the plain cookie base and then I'm gonna make a 1 x recipe of the chocolate version separately on its own I do need softened butter though so I'm going to put this butter in the microwave oh this my I can't use this microwave it's too disgusting that microwave is a disgrace to this Test Kitchen it is horrifying well this is softening I'm gonna clean out that microwave so tired of looking at this is embarrassing you're gonna blur this out oh I'm taking this straight to the dish pit this maybe has never been cleaned I'm just in the middle of a really intense hairy process a piece of extremely cooked on tomato sauce this is a really good illustration of like my problem getting work done it's like I usually just end up cleaning instead oh this is the worst part [Music] ah all is right in case it wasn't clear that was really more about anxiety management than anything else and the tweaks I'm doing on this one is just a little more Coco I'm gonna add some Dutch process cocoa so I'm gonna do one tablespoon of the black cocoa and one tablespoon of a good-quality Dutch process cocoa [Music] I'm gonna sit in the drive it smells coca we and pepperminty but it seems smells like it's in balance okay into the fridge and that took so long the first batch might be ready and I was right so here's my plan I'm gonna cut out the circles and then I'm gonna freeze it and then any scraps that I have I'm going to use to form into my molds for tag-along so right now I'm only cutting circles for the reach we ever gonna find out what's happening with this vodka [Music] now I'm gonna keep rolling out the chocolate dough I don't even see the gin in the background and if I'm gonna do the rest of this in the walk-in under refrigeration oh my god baby you so cold tre it's very cold cabbie this jacket was so great thank you so here's that water bottle from yesterday this is an extremely cold baking sheet so cold it hurts my hands okay these are gonna come over to the oven thank you I have all the punched out Thin Mints and then basically everything is formed I just have to make more of the Tagalongs didn't I give you oh don't don't don't don't no no no oh I'm finding this enjoyable and comfortable and I'm feeling great okay back into the freezer maybe five minutes he's puffed up so much more than they did yesterday which is kind of strange I also kind of wish the channel was a little bit deeper but I think it's gonna be fine at least it held the indentation so I'm gonna let these cool in the meantime I'll put the Thin Mints in the oven all right these are a little tricky to figure out when they're done because they're already brown and so I won't be able to see any browning so I have to kind of go by touch and I do think that they're done actually the spread was pretty much the same this is the same cutter so at least all the cookies will be the same size so that looks great I think the dimensions look really good home a it's a little bit bigger because of the spread but pretty close the thinman is much snappier so I probably will end up dehydrating the cookies for at least a couple hours they are right on the verge of being not sweet enough but I think they have a really nice cocoa flavor and good amount of peppermint I'm happy with that balance let me taste a wreath also such a good cookie so tasty I don't remember this recipe this is a good cookie before I bake the final tray I am putting all of these in the dehydrator for at least a couple of hours I want to get that snap now I'm going to go into the freezer pop out the final three cookies for Tagalongs and put them in the oven these guys are ready finally these look good oh oh oh hot I'm in with them in the dehydrator with the other ones and now fillings this is finely shredded dried coconut it's gonna bake this well that's twisting well put together ingredients for the caramel I'm gonna make a caramel very similar to the one I made for Milky Way but this time instead of adding butter I'm gonna add virgin coconut oil which has a pretty strong coconut flavor so everything else I'll keep the same a little corn syrup heavy cream my vanilla extract and some salt and the idea is that this is a pretty stiff caramel that doesn't run all over the place look at how beautiful and evenly toasted this is this is done alright so that's all the heavy cream now I'm gonna add the coconut oil I'm gonna get this into a container and save it for tomorrow and then I think the last thing I'll do today is make filling for the Tagalongs I just want to say that this is very special homemade peanut butter by our good friend John who's sitting right over there you brought it in the peanut butter filling in the tag-along is pretty set you can see it's almost dough like I can manipulate it and roll it around I think my best bet is to do the filling that I made for Reese's peanut butter cups I'm gonna beat this together with TSP or half a vanilla which I'm eyeballing and a bunch of kosher salt which I'm also eyeballing you can see it's looking a little bit doe like that's good it is a little separated I think that that peanut butter was just really high in fat had a lot of oil in it and so the oils are kind of exuding because it's hot so I'm just kind of kneading it a little bit to bring the temperature back down tastes great it's just kind of chewy how much oil did you add to that peanut butter I kind of like eyeball it's a little greasy Oh like it's vapor off of my hands I could squeeze it out of this mixture maybe I'll drain it got it soaking through faster than I can tear the maybe it's fine I'm gonna let it set overnight and we'll come back tomorrow I'm feeling pretty confident I'm feeling confident I don't have a great feeling about this peanut butter it's not exactly the creamy filling that you get in a tag-along this is a delicious crumbly peanut butter candy it's not gonna be right for the taglines I'm using my favorite peanut butter besides John's homemade peanut butter which is Smuckers natural so what I think I'll do is try that same preparation again with a lower proportion of that sugar mixture and maybe that's it electricity nut butter because the only ingredients are peanuts and salt and it is a really salty peanut butter which is also oily and I also didn't mix it as much as I mixed it yesterday honestly needs to be sweeter I'm gonna stir in how to sugar to taste basically I think this is gonna work I feel good about that I'm gonna let it continue to cool and set a little bit I think in the meantime I can start filling the Samoas so I'm just gonna try to coat this guy it's definitely settling into that channel which is good now I'm worried actually that the caramel is so sad that the coconut won't stick to it but let's let's see this is just a test oh it coated okay good oh wow look how good it looks now I'm just gonna go one by one and just keep going until I've done all the Samoas I wanted to do them all myself but I was told I have to have help so thank you for cups thank you thank you for being here the strategy is no they're not done this is only one of three types of cookies that I'm doing also you're doing your tenured tapping out oh my god you're here if you're very you're I think you're good sir no I think you're good I think you're good she's redoing my work no I'm just doing a little finishing touch I think it looks great okay let's dip it how do you feel about the way you treated people look I appreciate everyone's eagerness to help me but I just think it's better for everyone if I work alone this is always how it was with group projects I prefer to work alone look I'm making a lot of cookies I couldn't made like six and would have been fine but I chose to make a lot the last thing I want to do before I move on to the chocolate stage is fill the Tagalongs this process should be a lot faster hopefully this is just a matter of creeping and spreading the spilling onto the cookie alright look at my Girl Scout cookies now time for my least favorite part I don't want to I don't want to do the chocolate part it's hard and like it's gonna be so hard to get these coated in a thin layer Rhoda hi we need your advice so you want me to tell you you don't have to tip her the chocolate yeah kind of that was kind of what I was looking for but I think here's the idea so my idea was if I add up some additional cocoa butter which is very solid at room temp to melted chocolate it's kind of like a cheat for tempering but because the coconut butter is very liquid at room temp it thins out the chocolate which will make it easier to coat in a thin layer and I can help you thanks rose alright I'm melting the chocolate this is the milk chocolate I'm really lost steam they get the different we are needed the cookies are getting different kind of the chocolate the dirt chocolate with peppermint extract and the caramel Delites and thank you so the idea is that this cocoa butter will melt and when they cocoa butter is melted it's very liquid and it will increase the fluidity of the chocolate which will make it easier to enroll so that's that's the idea there I'm gonna start with the Tagalongs so [Music] okay that worked well wait should I just be dipping them the whole way you guys I dropped it in fell I think I should just be dipping them 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 so these are gonna go into the fridge I'm moving on to Samoas so I just to be careful not to drop them in the chocolate alright this is the last one I dropped one the one that we did in slow-mo is the one I draw so I'm sure we'll see that replay everything else is looking great here's what I want to do before I chill these the chocolate I think is that a good point thickness wise where I'll get really clean lines if I pipe it so I'm gonna make I'll make a corn a [Music] okay that was the last one I had enough chocolate but I feel good I'm happy with the way they look the last step in this process is in roving The Thin Mints and I'm also gonna add my peppermint extract to this chocolate you guys can we do Cadbury eggs look how shiny and like beautiful and mirror finish they look they'll go matte once they set there looks so flat and even and I think that the coating is gonna be just the right thickness I think my favorites are the Thin Mints but they all look great I'm gonna let these set overnight because I want more of my friends to be proud of me in the meantime this is my stash this looks like it's made for a child look at how small this is is this an actual Girl Scouts badge Wow look at this where'd this come from I used to iron on patches of stuff back in my the dazzling days oh I think it's on there oh yeah that's on there should we write troop test kitchen [Music] I can't believe I just did this I just get really focused on tasks sometimes and then lose perspective that I just spend the last 40 minutes working on this we all got to go home it's dark yeah uh that was fun that brought me back I love days like today where I get to start off having already done the thing and all I get to do is wear my fun sash really excited about these um oh no they got a little um it was like a little bit of fat bloom they won't affect the flavor it just makes the finish not as smooth looking so I'm gonna start with Tagalongs I love the cross-section it looks very uniform I like the amount of peanut butter relative to the amount of cookie that looks really good all right look at this similarity I guess that's what happens when you make the mold out of the real cookies and use that all of the elements feel really harmonious it's not like you taste the cookie first and then the peanut butter and then the chocolate it all marries together and the balance is great and I think it's really good I love how smooth and thin they are colors are very similar - I'm glad I use dark chocolate I think that was the right call I'm really pleased with how thin and even the coating is hmm you know like on the nice saltiness at the end I really like the balance of peppermint to chocolate this feels like a little more of a grown-up thin mint just because it's less sweet what I think I nailed with this one is the proportions the thickness of the coating on the bottom the stripes on the top the amount of coconut and I'm happy that my version has more caramel this version has really good chew cookie kind of breaks down mixes with the caramel and the coconut so you get this chewy texture and then amount of sweetness I think is really nice very happy with these have you got all of them this was really fun purple how's it look so Lola did you like to taste a cookie like melts right away and then have a lot of mm-hmm in an ideal world what gourmet makes does is create something that tastes the way you remember the original tasting when you were a kid you know you made this way really I know that's a compliment thank you I don't want to go anywhere wearing this though I don't want to go in the elevator I have to say that we're gonna go downstairs I'm being forced to go downstairs and sell these cookies the VA office so here we go are we oh my god you guys it's the puffy paint is not quite dry I'm sticking to it mom could have just brought the order form to her work I couldn't stay home oh my god you guys I'm doing it again uh-oh it's stuck again oh here we go hi friends you want try one okay Oh people really love it a long no I'm really glad arias my actually like with the puffy paint to try cookie tag-along peanut butter no no you don't want that no no baby trying cinnamon love banana taste things you know it's a are so tender I know maybe like this is really that was kind of the crew consensus - Oh God so you keep sticking to it go back out of my natural habitat long enough this is gonna go in her core may makes museum along with my Mentos drying rack and overall this whole experience was kind of nostalgic and brought me back even more than the average but I'm it makes which is already pretty nostalgic thanks to the Girl Scouts for giving us a preview of the cookies before they go on sale in New York and buy Girl Scout cookies from your local Girl Scouts money goes to a good cause teaches entrepreneurship and teaches leadership and I appreciated all the support from my Test Kitchen colleagues and friends at VA so that was great - Anton's peanut butter thanks John here's how you make gourmet Girl Scout cookies to make a plain dough in a medium bowl with one and a half cups of cake flour two tablespoons cornstarch one teaspoon kosher salt and one teaspoon baking powder beat two sticks of room temperature unsalted butter until smooth add a half a cup powdered sugar and beat until light at a large room temperature egg white and two teaspoons vanilla extract and beat until fluffy and smooth add the dry ingredients and mix on loads until combined form the dough into a disc and chill until cold to make the chocolate dough repeat the same dough recipe having all the quantities and whisking one tablespoon black cocoa and 1 tablespoon Dutch process cocoa into the dry ingredients instead of the cornstarch add a quarter teaspoon peppermint extract to the dough along with the vanilla extract chill until cold in the meantime make the other cookie components toast 1 cup of finely shredded unsweetened dried coconut flakes in a 350 degree fahrenheit oven tossing once until golden brown all over set aside to cool to make the peanut butter filling for the tagalogs place one cup of natural smooth peanut butter in the bowl of a stand mixer add a splash of vanilla and a pinch of salt and beat briefly to combine bring 1/2 cup sugar and three tablespoons water to a boil stirring with the heatproof spatula to dissolve the sugar boil until the sugar syrup reaches 348 fahrenheit turn the mixer on medium high and slowly stream all but a couple of tablespoons of the sugar syrup into the peanut butter transfer to a bowl and let cool then stir and more powdered sugar to sweeten if desired to make the caramel for the Samoas combine three-quarters of a cup sugar 2 tablespoons corn syrup and 2 tablespoons of water in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat to dissolve free to a boil and cook swirling the pot and washing down the sides with a wet pastry brush until the mixture turns a deep amber so at least stream and a half a cup of heavy cream stirring and taking care because the mixture will sutter followed by two tablespoons of virgin coconut oil stir until the mixture is smooth cook until the mixture reaches 250 Fahrenheit then pour the caramel into a bowl without scraping the bottom or sides let it cool completely to form the cookies roll out the chilled cookie dough's between pieces of parchment paper until you have 1/8 of an inch thick slabs chill until cold for the Samoas working with half of the plain dough cut wreaths the same size as the Samoas using a round cutter for the larger circle on the wide end of a pastry tip for the smaller circle and use an appropriately sized bottle top to imprint a shallow center channel running around each wreath chill the cookies for the Thin Mints use a circle cutter to punch out cookies the size of Thin Mints transfer to a baking sheet spacing evenly and chill for the Tagalongs use food grade silicone putty to make several molds of isolated tag-along cookies that have been scraped and cleaned of any peanut butter filling on chocolate coating let the molds cure pop out the cookies then fill the molds with the remaining plain dough freeze the dough until solid and pop the cookies out of the molds onto a parchment lined baking sheet bake all the cookies on the center rack and a 350 degree fahrenheit oven until very lightly cold them on the bottoms remove from the oven and let cool completely to assemble the cookies use a small offset spatula to spread a small amount of the peanut butter filling into this central depression of the Tagalongs work a small amount of cold caramel onto the surface of the wreath filling the channel and spreading out a caramel across the entire surface and a thin layer dip the caramel side and the toasted coconut and set the cookies aside to make a chocolate coating combine about 12 ounces of milk chocolate disks and one point two ounces of cocoa butter cut into bits in a medium heat proof Bowl and stir over a large saucepan filled with about an inch of gently simmering water until it's melted and completely smooth dip the tag-along cookies into the milk chocolate mixture to enroll completely and allow the excess to drip off and place the cookies on a chilled steel pad lined baking sheet and chill until set if the bottoms of the Samoa cookies in the same milk chocolate mixture and press onto a chilled still cut lined baking sheet pipe thin lines of chocolate all across the coconut coated surfaces of the Samoas chill until set for the Thin Mints combine about 8 ounces of dark chocolate plain 8 ounces of cocoa butter and more peppermint extract to taste in a medium heat proof ball and melt over a double boiler as before dip the Thin Mints in the chocolate mixture like you did the tagalogs and chill until set I have to show both of you something you cleaned it thank you I don't know what went on in this microwave but it was horrifying
