The Whisk website and app serve as an online platform dedicated to the organization and management of recipes, featuring capabilities for building a personal recipe database, meal planning, and creating grocery lists. Users have the ability to save their favorite recipes into a personal database, utilize these recipes for meal planning, and generate grocery lists based on the required ingredients for these meals. Additionally, Whisk actively promotes the sharing and "monetization" of users' recipes on its platform. As of 2023, Whisk has been acquired by Samsung and is currently known as Samsung Food.[1]
In May 2022, Jack discovered Whisk and, embodying the epitome of laziness, was drawn to it by the opportunity for monetization along with his "low effort = big gains" philosophy. Jack subsequently announced that all future recipes on the show will be listed on Whisk, and not the description box under the video. True to form, Jack's contributions to Whisk consisted of recipes that were lazily compiled and often plagiarized from other cooking websites. Furthermore, Whisk's proprietary algorithm, which evaluates the "nutritional score" of custom recipes submitted by individuals, consistently rated Jack's original (non-plagiarized) recipes as having very poor health ratings.
Recipes
One of the recipes that Jack made on Whisk was a recipe for "Poorman's BURNT ENDS". It reads like a culinary misadventure hastily thrown together by someone who treats recipe writing with the same regard as a last-minute grocery list. The ingredient roster, an odd assembly featuring unspecified wine and a hotchpotch of sauces, suggests more of a pantry purge than a thoughtful selection.
For example, the instructions for the Burnt Ends seemed to be hastily written with zero context or specifics about cooking. There were also zero specifics on the quantity of ingredients that are to be used in the recipe.
Jack simply wrote the following for instructions:
- Bind & season meat
- Cook til 165 Wrap in Foil cook til 200 rest
- Cut into cubes
- Place in baking dish with cubed butter and bbq sauce cook 275 for 60 min
'Bind & season meat' opens the act with a vague flourish, leaving one to wonder about the specifics of the binding and the seasoning. 'Cook til 165 Wrap in foil cook til 200 Rest' reads like a cryptic message left by someone who's never encountered punctuation, or the concept of food safety temperatures while the last step hastily directs to 'Place in baking dish with cubed butter and bbq sauce cook 275 for 60 min' - an abrupt end to an already puzzling culinary journey.
