That is my style of cooking. Heck I can not even boil a pot of water.

Sorry but I didn't understand your post. He doesn't specifically say
"condensed" but he's definitely adding water, albeit only 1/2 a can. Anyone
with half a brain, even a guy who can't cook, could figure this out

He neglects to mention that he is preparing CONDENSED soup. This will
likely cause a great deal of confusion. Condensed soup is becoming less
popular, as buyers prefer to pay canned-soup prices for tap-water.

he forgot to mention water up front though. Incredible oversight. If a
bachelor were following along step by step it could become extremely
confusing when he suddenly whips out the water. A good reason to watch a
video-recipe in its entirety at least once before trying the dish.

He also didn't show what one should do if, in pouring the soup from the can,
some stays stuck in the can. This happens quite often, especially with
condensed soup. In that case you have to take spoon and go in and try to
scoop out as much as possible from the can and put it in the bowl.

He also didn't identify the microwave oven in the video. What if the viewer
doesn't have a microwave? How do you then explain a pan instead of a bowl
and a burner on a stove or a hot plate?! Poor guy, he'd have to go to
McDonald's instead

I didn't even look at the video, after reading these few posts don't
need to... in reality a single guy who doesn't cook (and even if he
could cook) would open the condensed soup with his trusty can opener
and just have at it with a spoon directly from the can, no cooking, no
water, just a six pack and a bag of nachos... the can of soup so
dinner is nutritious and gourmet, and because the two week old slice
of cold pizza was too moldy. Yoose think a single guy eating alone
who eats condensed soup is gonna dirty a pot and a dish, never
happen... the spoon gets a quick rinse and sits in the sink until
tomorrow's dinner, canned spaghetios with canned vienna sausage... the
empty cans will take months to make it to the trash, probably just
roll em under the couch with all the beer cans.

I use a butter knife for that chore. It works MUCH better.

Don't think I'll share it. It was good for a brief chuckle but not
something I'll pass around. It's just not that funny, sorry.

Not really Jill. I have had a couple of people work for me who would
not realize that and if he'd seen the video he'd never think to read
the instructions.

I would have thought that most people would peel potatos before making
mashed potatos but I know of at least one instance when the 'cook'
didn't realize that he was supposed to do this.

A very good point. He made a real mistake there.

You peel potatoes to mash them?

<puzzled look>

The peel is the tastiest and most nutritious part!

:-)

Mashed red potato with the peel on is especially delicious.

It seems to be 'haute cuisine' these days to serve mashed potatoes with the
skins on, John. Personally I think it just means they are lazy, not
daringly different.

I would never leave them with the skin on for a company or holiday
dinner but wouldn't care so much for a casual meal. I always do peel
them though myself.

My friends all know how to cook, as do I. A lot of women I know could
use this kind of instruction too.
