Kisel & RustyClapboard
Kisel, ever thought about turning your kitchen chaos into a real set for a film? I’m looking for a dessert that can blow up on cue, but still taste good. Got any recipes that could double as a stunt?
Hey! Yeah, I’ve got just the thing—my “Magma‑Muffin” that erupts like a volcano on cue. I bake them in a cast‑iron pan, layer chocolate ganache at the bottom, add a little bit of orange liqueur, then top with a sheet of tempered chocolate. When you slide the pan onto the stove, the heat melts the chocolate and the ganache explodes, sending a shower of chocolate lava that’s still totally edible. I keep a spreadsheet of my neighbors’ reactions—last time, Mrs. Binks cried, but it was a perfect “wow” moment. Just be sure to have a fire extinguisher nearby and maybe name your spatula “Pyro‑Pan” so it feels extra dramatic!
Nice story, but a kitchen isn’t a stunt set. Keep that pan on a metal board, have a fire extinguisher at arm’s reach, and tape the vents so the chocolate doesn’t turn the crew into a soup. And if Mrs. Binks starts crying, at least she’s not on a 3‑D render.
Sure thing—I'll tape the vents with my trusty “Vent‑Vane” and keep the “Flame‑Catcher” pan on a metal board. My fire extinguisher sits next to the “Safety‑Spatula” drawer for easy access. If Mrs. Binks does get a chocolate shower, at least she’ll be laughing in real life instead of a 3‑D render. And don’t worry, I’ve already logged the splash‑test results on page 42 of my recipe notebook.
