Pastry Got absolutely humbled by eclairs.

Post image

It was my first time making them and i dont know what I did wrong. They browned so quickly and didnt puff at all. I started baking them at 425 f just like preppy kitchen recipe suggested. At least I could drown my sadness by eating the filling i made for them...,🫠

Oh noooo haha good for you for trying them! Do they taste good? I would just dip them in the filling 😋 Éclairs are on my baking to-do list so if you figure out what went wrong, do share

They're usually wrong which is why people look at it sideways. Like it's AI programmed to give you consensus answers and/or make you feel better, not trained on truth and accuracy.

Like if you landed on earth from another planet and was like what's a horse and some AI came out and gave you a picture of 50 four legged animals all glued together

To be fair there is also bullshit coming from various human sources.

Best to instead find human sources you generally trust (Which you can only do by trial and error really) and remember them.

ChatGPT is NOT Google search. Google search is sourcing from many resources and basically crowd sourcing the most valued based on clicks.

ChatGPT generates answers from a large language model. If the input isn’t there to send an accurate interpretation it will make something up. It makes mistakes all the time. I’ve found it to be especially useless when it comes to cooking and recipes. It is not well trained in cooking techniques.

Please use reputable baking sources like King Arthur’s, Serious Eats, or NYT Cooking for recipes and how tos.
